BOOOM!
I felt my own heart explode into flames and engulf me completely.
It was perhaps too surprising even for someone like me, as I glanced at Oten for a second.
For that moment, I believed she had betrayed me or something, or that the Outer Gods were trying to take me down because I might be a menace.
"Y-You…! What are you doing?! Ugh…!"
"B-Blake?!"
Braveblitz and everyone else panicked, rushing to my side.
"Calm down."
Oten's voice suddenly paralyzed everyone.
"Worry not, I am not betraying you or something, Blake. I know you're a cunning vampire deep down. We are well aware of your previous existence as Asmodeus after all."
"S-So that's how it is…"
"You're undergoing your Heart's Evolution. I told you it would be painful. For the evolution to be completed, the heart must be destroyed using the power of its internal divine draconic energy."
"R-Really?"
