Adela stepped forward, her blue aura illuminating the ruined battlefield.
For the first time since Anesthesia's arrival, the monsters hesitated.
Anesthesia's golden eyes narrowed.
"So you finally came," she said with a smile.
"Wow, you took your time, my child. I've been waiting for you," Anesthesia said with a sly smile.
Adela frowned, her eyes fixed on the woman before her.
Anesthesia slowly descended to the ground, her white dress swaying gently in the wind.
"My dear, I'm thrilled to finally have you…" she said softly, pausing as she gazed into Adela's eyes.
She reached out, intending to caress Adela's cheek, but Adela stepped back before their skin could touch.
Anesthesia's lips curled into a smirk at the silent rejection.
"My dear," she whispered, "you have no choice left."
"Accept me… or else."
Adela met her gaze without fear.
"Or else what?" she replied coldly.
"Are you underestimating me?"
A quiet chuckle escaped Anesthesia's lips.
"Do you really think I am?"
