…What?
That was my first thought.
It wasn't fear or shock. It was confusion that overcame me.
Bell was simply just standing there when the demon connected with their attack. My heart nearly popped out of my chest as I pictured Bell having a hole in his head.
But when the dust settled, I was wrong. Everything around me, the air, the atmosphere, the fabric of the universe itself — everything felt different.
Something had changed.
Bell's golden-white hair, which was the signature color for House Agnus darkened in an instant. It was as if a bucket of ink had spilled on a single sheet of paper because not a single strand on his hair had any light remaining.
It was total blackness.
His black eyes also changed. The black faded into murky red, then it glowed into an overbearing crimson.
The demon pulled his hand back and looked at it as if something was wrong with it.
It then looked back at Bell.
