Chapter 229
The tentacles of Shub-Niggurath, gripping Dale’s heart, began to writhe.
Simultaneously, the tentacles began to creep toward the shadow heart, the shadow cast by Dale’s own heart.
One of Shuv’s tentacles coiled around the shadow heart in a ring-like shape.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
“Gah…!”
Simultaneously, with a suffocating pressure, blood spewed from his mouth. The blood was pitch-black and dark.
Dale’s heart, bearing six circles, cast a shadow, and that shadow too should rightfully bear six circles.
Twelve circles in total.
Shub’s tentacles began to coil around the heart of darkness in unison.
Six tentacles coiled around the shadow heart, and the biological circles finally accelerated, beginning to generate magic power.
This was not the easily recognizable form of magic Dale had known until now.
The pitch-black magic… no, it couldn’t even be called magic. It was merely pure darkness and shadow pouring endlessly forth.
The primordial darkness contained within the 『Book of the Black Goat』.
─ The world begins in darkness and ends in ice.
Shub, the ancient Mother of Darkness, smiled as if pleased. It was as she had said.
Light was born from darkness, and as the age of fire ended, ice would adorn the world’s final chapter.
─ What do you see in the darkness, child who holds the world’s beginning and end?
Shuv reached out as if in affection, stroking Dale’s cheek. Dale reached out in agony so intense it felt like his heart would stop.
