Corey thought he heard wrong.

No.

He must have definitely heard wrong. Because there was no way what he was hearing was true in any way or form.

"Of all the lies you could come up with, you're telling me that? I'm disappointed in you, Pope Arzhel."

Corey said coldly, and Pope Arzhel slammed the lid of the coffin with so much force that the coffin trembled.

"I'm not lying! Tessa is your sister! And your sister is Tessa. Fucking believe me you bast- DAMN-!"

Pope Arzhel's screams were cut off as he was forced into another nightmare, and Corey was frozen on the spot, unable to move for an entire minute.

He was constantly telling himself that the Pope was lying, that he was just trying to deceive him.

But he knew.

He knew the truth from the moment the Pope answered him the second time.

The Pope was saying the truth. He was not lying.

His Eyes of Truth and Judgement showed a green hue covering the Pope when he spoke, and a green light meant that the Pope was telling the truth.

And unless the Pope had a treasure, skill or power to deceive his Eyes of Truth and Judgement, his sister had been right in front of him the entire time.

Corey shifted his gaze to Tessa who was in a desperate fight against Pamela.

From the moment he stopped holding back and unleashed his aura for everybody to see, and from the moment he began toying with the Pope like he was a child before him, to the moment he placed the Pope in the coffin till the moment the Pope began begging for his life, Tessa had tried to leave Pamela so that she could save the man.

However, Pamela did not allow her to bypass her no matter what, and it was one of the reasons why Pamela had been having trouble with Tessa.

Because of her desperation, Tessa was taking risks that placed not only Pamela, but Tessa herself, in danger.

"No. That can't be. There's no way she's my sister."

Corey shook his head in denial the more he observed her.

There was nothing about her appearance or aura that said it was his sister. If there was even a semblance of similarity, he would have known from the first time he saw.

However, his mind went back to the green hue his Eyes of Truth and Judgement showed him on the Pope, and a sense of unease gnawed at his mind.

His eyes went to the swords Tessa was holding, her horns, her aura, her proficiency with the sword, her natural talent in combat, and her telekinesis.

He suddenly recalled a conversation he had with his sister.

----

"Nope. I'll rub it on your face very well. When everybody's wishes were given, I got a legacy called Successor Of The Second Demon Queen. I also got two swords and I got three talents. I called the two swords 'Murasame' like in Akam* ga k*ll and the other one I called it Princess, cause I'm going to be a princeesss! As for my three talents, one is called Natural Talent in Swords, Natural Talent in Combat and Natural Talent in Psychokinesis, I can send people and monsters flying just with my mind and I'm currently level 45. Aren't I awesome? Hmm. Tell me I'm awesome Onii-chan."

-----

Corey's pupils constricted into pinholes the moment he recalled his sister's words.

He began to see the similarities between Tessa and his sister's powers, and a chill crept across his spine.

"Anna?"

Corey trembled and froze while staring at Anna with wide eyes. His mind stopped working for a moment despite having so many Stars of Consciousness.

At this moment, Corey was at his most vulnerable, and if anybody tried to attack him at this moment, they would succeed.

However, fortunately for him, none attacked him.

The Pope's plea for mercy appeared once again, but it was like muted background noise to Corey. He heard nothing, and his attention and gaze was completely on Tessa.

He didn't know it, but he had begun taking steps toward Tessa and Pamela. His mind was still shaken, and everything seemed to slow down in Corey's eyes.

He saw how anxious Tessa was, the sweat and blood on her face, the minute changes in her body, the changes in her eyes.

He saw how she dodged Pamela's attacks, while unleashing counterattacks.

When Pamela landed a punch on her face which was followed by a cut on her body through her Genesis Armament, Destroyer .

He saw as Tessa fell and tumbled on the ground, and subconsciously, his pace began to increase when he saw Tessa struggling to get up.

Pamela landed in front of her, and when Corey saw Pamela raise her spear so as to stab and kill Tessa, his awareness returned, and he shouted.

"NO!"

The moment he roared, the entire world trembled and Corey flapped his void wings.

The moment he flapped his void wings, he vanished, and at that exact moment, he reappeared directly in front of Pamela who was about to stab Tessa.

He quickly grabbed the spear, and because Pamela did not use her full power, he was able to stop her in time.

Pamela was startled when she saw Corey appear in front of her.

"Corey? What the hell are you doing?"

Corey looked at her, and then he looked at Tessa.

The more he looked at her, the more her face was slowly resembling Anna's.

He wanted to speak, but for some reason, he found it difficult, and Pamela and Tessa had strange expressions when they saw how Corey was silent.

"Damn it, Corey. You better give me a damn good explanation why you stopped me from killing her. In case you've forgotten, she's the enemy."

Corey's lips quivered, and then he licked his lips in anxiousness.

"She's my sister."

"Huh?" Pamela thought she heard wrong. "She's your what?"

Corey ignored her and let go of her spear.

"Anna... Is it truly you?"

Tessa had a strange expression on her face, and just as she was about to speak, the expressions of Tessa and Pamela drastically changed.

PUCHI!

A red dagger pierced through Corey's throat, and then a man wearing a clown's mask appeared close to Corey's left ear and whispered.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Corey. You disappoint me."
