Trivia clutched her bleeding neck, fingers trembling. Her usual calm, sinister aura cracked for the first time.
Black blood oozed between her fingertips, sizzling where it hit the cursed floor.
"You—" She hissed, backing away as the crowd of Voidlings gasped and murmured among themselves.
Hermes stood tall, eyes glowing faintly. His system buzzed in his head, the words appearing with cold certainty.

He stepped forward. "Surrender."
Trivia's hand shot up, fingers forming a strange sigil midair.
"Tri-forma—"
But the words died on her tongue. Her mouth contorted with effort, but no incantation followed. Her voice had no power anymore. The spell fizzled into empty silence.
She looked horrified.
"I said surrender." Hermes repeated. "Or I'll curse your heart to stop."
Trivia stared at him, chest heaving. Then unexpectedly…. she laughed. Not mocking, not cruel.
Just tired.
