// @souldevouress | The Fantasia War: Finale
Whenever Ragna had to resort to the Azure Grimoire’s power, there was one sensation that constantly gnawed at the corner of his thoughts, an urge that would never fully go away no matter how satisfied it was... Hunger. Hunger for souls and life energy, anything to keep fueling its own evil power. It was a hindrance that Ragna was never fond of, given how gruesome its desires can be. Back in his world, he could get by on fueling that hunger by devouring wild, mutated monsters in the untamed wilderness. It was the equivalent of resorting to snack foods rather than a full meal... but it got the job done.
Yet now, there was no need to concern. This Dark Lord or whatever was practically giving him free souls to swallow up, with no consequences to weight down his conscious. So now that he’s taken a brief break from his full power rampage, Ragna’s managed to single out a minotaur-like being for the taking. His right arm was already transformed into a ferocious claw, with charred skin and glowing red veins, ready to snatch up the worn out beast for its life force. But just as the Reaper charged in and made his grab, he felt a completely different force latching onto the backside of the creature. Instead of just one demonic hand clutching at the beast... another one was trying to suck away at the same target.
... What a weird way to end up holding hands with a woman.
