Escanor Dies Novels & Stories

What about Valen and Ilya? Soren tries to yank his wrist back, but even on the verge of death, Scar’s grip is like an iron shackle, his bloody fingers digging painfully into Soren’s flesh. “Let go... let go of me!” Soren chokes out, his voice cracking with pure terror as he stumbles backward, but Scar forcefully pulls him closer, dragging Soren’s weak body right against his blood-soaked chest. "I came back from hell to remind you what you did to me. I should be dead, but guess what, my obsession keeps me alive to fucking find you. As long as you live, I’m impossible to kill, Soren!" Scar hisses.

"Here, take this." The phone disappeared from his hand. Xander and I looked at each other, eyes wide. "Okay," he said and then gulped. "Now, hold your hand in front of the scanner. What colors show on the screen?" "It says, ‘no data,'" Scarlet said. "Now, hit the ‘History' button at the top right of the screen." "Okay." "Now, select ‘Saved Scans.' Yours is the first one that I just took while standing here talking to you."

Scanning Retinal Pattern. The bar crawled. 10%. 30%. 60%. Suddenly, the bar turned red. Discrepancy Detected. Elara’s breath hitched. Her finger hovered over the 'Red' signal. "John, get out of there," she whispered into the mic. But John didn't move. He leaned closer, his voice a low, threatening growl that even the van’s mic picked up. "The drop in my eye is acting up again. Scan the left one before I take yours out to replace it."

“I’ll bring you something to eat later. You’ll be cared for. But until you remember what it means to be a Scanthin , until you remember how Sara died . Until then you’re not going anywhere.” And with that, she stepped out, shutting the door behind her, and Scar heard the lock latch. In spite of herself, she ran up the stairs to grab the doorknob, already knowing it was useless. She fiddled helplessly with the stubborn knob, and pounded once on the door, before she collapsed to her knees and began to cry.

“It looks like a hit from the Bianchi men. I’m sorry, Boss. We….” The line goes dead. Lorenzo lowers the phone, his reflection trembling in the glass of scotch. The amber liquid catches the light like blood. For a long time, he doesn’t move. Then he exhales softly, the sound closer to a sigh than grief.

Colin furrowed his brows and took a few steps away. On the other hand, Brenda seemed completely heartbroken as she tried to reach and hit Colin.

The officer told the Larsons they had received a police report saying that there were human remains hidden inside the sculpture. The authorities were working on verifying the deceased's identity at the moment.

"General, with all due respect, how can we be certain these scans are reliable? Have the tests been verified?" O'Malley’s gaze swept the room, his demeanor cool and composed. "These scans were conducted by multiple high-tech industries and government agencies. The results were the same across all platforms. Every source we consulted confirmed that after 1,000 feet, our scanners encountered nothing but a black void. We used different methods, recalibrated the equipment, and tried everything. Same result." Danial felt a cold pit forming in his stomach. A thousand feet into the ruins, and then… nothing? That shouldn’t be possible.
