"You're the Dark Lord," Sabrina shivered as she looked at Ghost's face through all the dark mist and cloud enveloping him. She slowly dragged her feet towards Michael,
"It's you," She could barely raise her hand to touch his face.
"Sabrina," Michael was conflicted. He saw her die and sensed her heartbeat stop. Yet, she was standing before him alive. His mind was boggled.
"How?" Michael questioned himself. At that time, he didn't know when he roared in anger, the sound kick-started her heart again. His roar contained such power.
As she was touching his face, she suddenly lost the strength in her legs and collapsed back, only to get caught by Michael.
He squatted down slowly, putting her on the ground while drawing out the sword from her chest. He immediately took out a healing potion to give her, but she shook her head and swatted away the healing potion.
"Let me die. Otherwise," Sabrina coughed up blood,
"Your secret won't be safe," She smiled despite the excruciating pain in her chest.
"Do you think I am evil as everyone says?" Michael asked Sabrina,
"You're far from evil," she touched Michael's cheek again with her bloody hand. For some reason, her gentle smile warmed his heart and made him calm down.
"Your brother and everyone in this world hunt me. They think I am evil," Michael calmly said,
"Yet they weren't here to stop the actual evil,"
Sabrina coughed a couple of more times as her face turned paler. Michael could sense her heartbeat slowing down. She had lost too much blood. At this point, even the healing potion couldn't guarantee her survival unless Michael gave her his 90% pure healing potion along with a potion to make her body produce more blood.
"Can…can you give my body to my family?" Sabrina asked, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Don't tell them what happened to me. Father and mother must not know about anything," even in her dying breath, she didn't want her family to be saddened by her death.
"I died instantly by some poisoning. You can make them believe it right?"
Michael couldn't understand the girl's thought process at all. She wanted to sacrifice herself so he could feel better knowing his secret was safe. However, if she died when he could have easily saved her, his heart would nag him until he dies. Michael hated that feeling.
"So you want to die so I will feel better?" Michael questioned Sabrina,
"That's the least I can do for you,"

"Will you tell others my secret?"
Sabrina slowly shook her head right away.
"If I let you die, then ill be the evil they say I am," as soon as he said these words, a sparkling blue potion materialized in his hand. Sabrina tried to resist, but he simply overpowered her and poured the potion into her mouth.
After emptying the potion into her mouth, he took out a blood-red potion and chugged it down her throat just like before. It didn't even take the potion a few seconds to start healing her body. Just several seconds later, Michael noticed the wound in her chest rapidly closing up as the rosiness in her skin returned.
Compared to all the few risks Michael took in this world, saving Sabrina might just be the biggest. Now she knew his biggest secret, which could end his life in this world if exposed.
Nonetheless, Michael saved her because she basically sacrifice herself for him and willing to die again so his secret could be safely buried with her. Michael simply wasn't ready to let her die to keep his secret.
If he had let her die, there would be no difference between him and the Guardians. Finally, Sabrina felt her strength returning to her body as well as the pain lessening. Her vision cleared, enabling her to see Ghost's face more clearly.
"Why did you save me?" she was still on the ground with her head in his hand,
"Because I am stupid and not evil enough," Michael sighed, chuckling.
"But this doesn't change anything. If your brother comes after me, I will kill him," Michael's smile disappeared from his face as the dark cloud around him appeared again, stronger and denser.
It took a few seconds for Sabrina to get to her feet, and the moment she did, she asked Michael.
"Why? Why do you two want to kill each other?"
"He wants to capture me and brings me to justice. Your brother still doesn't know how this world works. He wants to save the world yet he couldn't even save his own sister,"
Sabrina wanted to talk back to save Noah's image but simply couldn't find any words because he was right.
"I trust you with my biggest secret Sabrina. Don't break my trust," Michael placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed.
Although his gentle smile calmed her mind, she did feel so confused and startled by what she had just learned. Still, she had no idea her brother Noah was the God of Light who was destined to battle the God of Darkness. She also didn't know her brother was the next Supreme Guardian.
As far as she knew, her brother was one of the guardians who were trying to capture the dark lord.
"Despite everything. You have my word, you can trust me. I'd rather die than expose your secret,"
"I know,"
Since she literally died and again tried to die just to keep his secret safe. Thus, Michael had no trust issues with her. It was a risk yet Michael wouldn't have it any other way.
"We better find a way out of here," Michael closed his eyes for a moment, willing the system to unequip his Lucifer armor.

In a blink of an eye, Sabrina saw the Dark Lord turns back into Ghost. She felt speechless when she looked around the place and noticed the piles of ashes lying around.
There was not a single vampire who lived to tell the tale.
While Sabrina was in shock, Michael went to the hollow in the hall to inspect the wall.
"The key? Where did you go?" Michael ran his hand all over the hollow yet found nothing.
"Who took you? Sabrina," Michae; quickly had a thought as he called Sabrina to him. When she arrived by his side, he took her hand and placed it inside the hollow. The rune in her hand surprisingly began to bright glow brother than ever.
"Ah!" she suddenly squealed as though something bit her hand,
"What?" asked Michael with both an excited and concerned look on his face.
"The key…" she stuttered,
"Where is it?"
For a few moments, Sabrina just stood there like a living statue. When Michael looked into her eyes, he saw fear and shock.
"The key…"
"Yes, the key, what about it? Did you see its location?" Michael asked, slightly shaking her shoulders.
"Margoth…the key is Margoth,"
"Margoth?" Michael was taken aback by surprise. If his memory was right, Margoth was the Venom like creature attached to Draven in Etheria.
"What do you mean?" Michael wondered whether Sabrina had traveled to Etheria or not.
"I can't describe it. I just felt it. The key is Margoth," Sabrina mumbled, making Michael confused.
"Ghost," she suddenly took her gaze away from the hollow in the wall to Michael,

"I heard something else,"
Her face was pale as she trembled. Michael had to grab her shoulder to stop her from shivering.
"The voice…it sounded like your other voice…" her words startled Michael,
"The voice said, the key is safe with Draven, and the queen can't take it for now,"
"The future me," Michael immediately thought about his future self. It was apparent to Michael that his future self had something to do with the key. If his instincts were right, the Dark Lord from the future sent the key to Etheria to keep it safe from the queen.
However, he couldn't grasp the concept of Margoth. How could Margoth be the key? That question riddled Michael's mind nonstop.
"I assume we can't get the key then," Michael sighed. Although he was disappointed, Sabrina's words calmed his mind down. Atleast the queen wouldn't be able to get the key for now. Still, Michael wanted to make sure the key stays safe forever out of the queen's grasp. He had enough enemies to deal with, and the last thing he wanted was another powerful being like Aathreya to come after him.
Fortunately, Don reassured Michael he would take care of her in his universe. Draven would keep the key safe in Etheria. The only unpredictable thing about the key was not the queen but Hunter.
Michael had no idea what was Hunter's plan. He literally killed Aathreya's soul and tried to absorb her. He was crazy and powerful as far as Michael could see.
Atleast for now, Michael didn't have to worry about the key. Finally, his journey throughout the dungeon came to an end. The one last thing that remained for him to do was to find a way out of the place.
"Let's look around the place. We still haven't figured out a way to get out of here,"
"You know anything about the voices and this thing called Margoth?" Sabrina suddenly questioned Michael, only to see him shake his head,
"Being the Dark lord doesn't mean I know everything,"
Since Michael was an expert liar, Sabrina couldn't help believing him.
"But can you at least snap us out of her with your god powers?"
"I can't, but I think the way out of the shadow realm is here somewhere," Michael said as he looked around the empty place again.
He used every type of vision, including the thermal vision, to see any weird heat signatures. While he was looking around, Sabrina concentrated on the glowing rune in her hand.
"Maybe the way out is with me," Sabrina mumbled.
Michael then saw Sabrina raise her hand towards the sky with her eyes closed. He wondered what she was trying to do but surprisingly, he sensed the space around them distorting as though she was activating a teleportation portal.

The brightness of the rune on her hand suddenly soared through the roof as its golden light lit the entire gloomy dungeon with its radiance. Under the warm light, Michael felt his body being lifted above.
Soon afterward, the both of them just vanished into thin air.
