Chapter 26: Bloodline Harvest and Eternal Suffering(Part 1)

Nehellenia's magical knife wasn't just a weapon. It was a living instrument of supernatural torture.

Each heart puncture was calculated to keep them alive. Suffering. Conscious.

Haru's heart - pierced but not destroyed. The blade entered with surgical precision, stopping millimeters from total obliteration. Blood erupted, but supernatural energy kept him conscious. Alive. Experiencing every moment of agony.

Sora's heart received the same treatment. Not a killing blow. A violation that transformed death into an endless moment of suffering.

Yuki's crimson eyes - inherited from Kurama - went from fierce to glassy. But not extinguished. Trapped in a state between life and absolute destruction.

Shizuka's supernatural fox magic flickered. Her heart pierced, suspended in a moment of perpetual trauma.

Akihiko and Kazuki - their crystalline potential torn, hearts violated with precise supernatural accuracy.

Akira - the smallest - received the most methodical violation. Her tiny form suspended, heart pierced in a way that maximized suffering while maintaining a microscopic thread of life.

The knife twisted. Slowly.

"You will live," Nehellenia whispered. "But never whole."

Each child hung suspended. Hearts pierced. Supernatural energy slowly draining. Not dying. Existing in a state worse than death.

Nehellenia's fingers traced their wounds. Not with compassion. With pure, calculated hunger.

"Your mother's bloodline," she breathed, "is now my eternity."

The Dead Moon Circus wasn't just a location. It was a realm where suffering became an art form.

And in this moment, horror found its perfect expression.

Reality itself held its breath.

Nightmares became the only truth.
