My Demon Professors Are All Gorgeous Girls Chapter 34: Echoes of Kael

The mont my hand touched the black crystal, my vision shattered.

I stood in a mory.

Not mine.

The sky was red. The earth cracked. Demons and humans alike burned in silver fire. And in the center of it all, a man—Kael Ren—stood with a blade of pure light, facing a figure cloaked in gold.

The sa figure I’d driven back from the sky.

"You think you can seal it," Kael shouted. "But it always returns!"

The golden figure raised a hand.

Kael scread.

The mory rewound. Again. And again.

Each ti, Kael died.

Each ti, the shard reset.

I fell to my knees as the visions ended. The crystal dimd, as if it had shared its last secret.

Lilith caught before I collapsed. "What did you see?"

"Everything," I whispered. "The shards... weren’t made to protect us."

Valmira’s eyes narrowed. "They were made to repeat ti. Preserve it."

"Like a cage," Seraphina said softly.

I stood, the shard in my palm dull now, like it, too, was beginning to doubt itself.

"They made to fix it," I said. "But I’m starting to wonder if I’m supposed to break it instead."
