Chapter 117: Sophien (3)

My heart doesnt beat; my lungs dont work. My body temperature was rapidly dropping, and my peripheral nerves, including my fingers and toes, grew numb as my organs shut down. My body was already dead.

However, Iron Man postponed death. Instead of using the heart and lungs, my blood vessels artificially contracted and repeatedly relaxed to transport blood and oxygen. It was just a workaround to save some time, but it was good enough. All so that my death would not be discovered by the Sophien of this world. So that her next memories could continue normally.

I reached the basement of the Imperial Palace, the wooden gate. The door was already open as if in wait.

I stepped out into the basement, reaching the middle of the darkness with my slow stride.

You knew it was going to be like this.

I heard a voice at that moment, prompting me to glance over. It was the Devils Mirror still assuming Sophiens form.
