Dark Evolution Begins with Marrying an SSS-CLASS Blind Monster
Chapter 70: Midnight Awakening

Chapter 70: Midnight Awakening

A few minutes earlier, in the outside world, when Nellas was attacked by the vampires, Ember was on her bed and was sleeping peacefully.

It was already midnight and she was deep in her sleep.

However, suddenly, her body began to twitch, and a moment later, her eyelids opened.

And, as soon as they did, the green pupils could be seen in the darkness illuminated by the silverish-white glow of the moon.

They were beautiful but were a bit dull and had a certain amount of tiredness in them.

The black lines under the girl’s eyes were clear and the pale skin made her face seem paler.

"Ugh,"

The girl groaned and instinctively, as fast as she could, sat up and reached the bedside table, where her fingers touched a glass of water.

She quickly brought the glass near her lips and the water passed through her dry lips, reaching her throat.

"Ahh,"

A heavy breath escaped her mouth as the cool liquid moistened her dry throat.

Her fingers tightened their grip on the glass and brought it back to the side table as the water finished.

"Ugh,"

However, the uneasiness in her chest didn’t vanish and the girl let out a sigh.

’Why am I feeling this way?’

Yesterday, after her fight with the robot, Ember was healed by Marine and then, when she was completely alright, they had come back home.

Once back, Marine gave her something to fill her stomach and told her to go to sleep.

Which the girl had done.

And it was not just one or two hours.

No, she had slept for a long time, and now, the night had already fallen.

The time was nearing 12:30 pm, and the girl, who had spent a long time sleeping, should have felt refreshed, however, that was not the case.

In fact, she was feeling the opposite.

Tired and weak.

Even though her body was healed, her mind was still restless, and her heart was beating fast.

It was not the best feeling, and the girl couldn’t help but put her hand on her chest and try to control her breathing.

"Huff~ huff~ huff~"

The sound of her breathing was audible, and her forehead was slowly beginning to sweat.

’What is happening?’

The girl was wondering, and as the sweat was rolling down her head, her lips moved and her mouth whispered a name.

"Nellas..."

The name just slipped through her lips. It wasn’t intentional. It was more of an instinctive action, and the girl couldn’t understand the reason behind it.

However, after whispering the name, many kinds of feelings began to surface in her heart.

A strange sense of unease, a feeling of worry, and a certain sensation of anxiousness.

It was overwhelming, and the girl was finding it hard to calm her mind and stop her body from sweating.

"Why?"

Her question was not directed to anyone, and the girl, who was still sitting on the bed, moved her legs and put her feet down on the floor.

This action, too, was done without her mind registering it, and Ember didn’t know why, but her legs moved by themselves, and her hands began to push her body off the bed.

Thump.

The girl’s feet hit the ground, and a second later, she was standing.

Her whole body was sweating and the feeling of unease in her heart was only growing stronger.

It was like a sign.

Something was telling her that something was going to happen.

Or, should we say, it had already happened.

’Nellas...’

She whispered in her mind and a picture of the man popped up in her head.

It was his smiling face, the one she imagined him to be, and the warmth of his hand when he had held her hand could be felt.

The man was nice.

The girl liked him, and she was happy whenever she was around him.

However, fate wasn’t kind, and the girl was reminded of how much she hated herself when she had decided to become a Hero.

As the words that she used to ask Nell about her wanting to become a Hero echoed in her mind, the uneasiness in her heart suddenly transformed into pain.

And her chest, the place where her heart was, began to throb.

"Ugh,"

Her lips moved and a groan escaped her mouth as her knees gave out and the girl fell to the ground.

Her knees touched the floor and her eyes closed shut as her head tilted down and her fingers grabbed the fabric around her chest.

The pain was getting worse, and the girl couldn’t help but clench her teeth and squeeze her eyelids.

However, as the pain intensified and she was unable to take the pain, a screen materialized in front of her with its notifying ’Ding!’ which caused her to open her eyes.

[Host is experiencing an emotional disturbance and the Host’s mental state is showing signs of instability.

Host’s brain waves are unstable.

Would you like to apply the method of calming the host?]

’Yes...’

A response came after a moment and the screen, in the next instant, became bigger.

Then, the next thing the girl knew was her mind becoming calmer and the aching sensation in her heart disappearing.

[Calming the Host.

Please wait.

After the system had done its job, Ember’s hands slowly loosened their grip on her chest and her breathing began to slow down.

The pain had disappeared, and her mental state was stabilizing.

’Emotional Disturbance?’

The first thought that popped up in her mind was the reason behind the disturbance.

And, after a moment, the girl couldn’t help but recall the feeling that was eating her from inside.

The feeling of unease, the feeling of anxiousness, and the feeling of worry.

The source of her anxiety was the man, Nellas, and the girl was feeling this way because of him.

But, how could that be?

Her husband had already died, so, why would she be feeling that way about Nellas?

It was a feeling that was telling her to go out and search for him.

But, how could she search for a man who was supposed to be dead?

It didn’t make sense and the girl couldn’t understand.

’It is probably just my imagination.’

She told herself, and a small frown appeared on her face.

’I am not going crazy, right?’
