Arachne clicked her tongue sharply, the sound slicing through the tense air. She stared at Luna, taking in the twisted posture, the unnatural movements. It was clear. Luna had fully surrendered to the corruption.
Crystal's eyes widened in disbelief. She stepped forward, her voice trembling as she called, "Luna?"
Luna responded with a laugh that was feral and unhinged, raw madness spilling from every breath. Her body contorted painfully, limbs bending in ways no human should move. Her blackish crimson eyes locked onto Arachne, burning with fierce hatred and something dangerously close to insanity. Then in a voice warped and distorted beyond recognition, she hissed, "I am the Demon of Serenity."
Crystal, Aria, and Greg stood frozen, stunned by Luna's chilling declaration and Arachne's calm acceptance.
Arachne spoke with cold finality. "This is what she has become. The only way to help her is to kill her before the corruption consumes everything."
