Chapter 52 — Queen Of Souls
Noah lay alone in his room, staring blankly at the ceiling from his bed.
Today had been hectic—starting with a meeting with the Dean, who is now his new master, attending class, coercing a demon into signing a slave contract, sending letters, and…
…comforting Sophie, his dear wife.
His mind and body were drained. He didn't show it, but juggling so many responsibilities at once took its toll.
Fighting against someone chosen by the world itself—now that was exhausting.
Noah understood it clearly. Beating Elijah wasn't just about defeating one man.
No.
He had to overcome the very goddess backing him.
A mortal challenging a god.
Even Noah knew how hopeless that sounded.
"Ah…" he sighed, tiredly.
But he had no choice.
The goddess couldn't intervene directly—and she clearly wasn't omniscient. If she were, she would've sensed Leona, a demon standing right beside her chosen.
