Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3325

Andrew's thoughts were in complete chaos as he wondered what was going on. He could understand why Iridessa would appear. After all, they had once shared an intimate night.

However, why were Victoria, Brielle, and Tiana appearing in his mind as well?

Even if it had been Lauren, Francesca, or Nyx, he could have explained it to himself.

Did that mean these were emotions and desires buried so deep inside him that even he had never noticed them?

Byron let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "Confused, aren't you? Can't quite make sense of it? Good. That's exactly the point. I take the things you've told yourself you'd never do, the lines you swore you'd never cross, and I plant them so deep in your mind that they start to feel like your own thoughts.

"I make you fall. I make you let go. I make you enjoy everything you once fought so hard to resist. When a man's limits and moral boundaries are shattered, is he still human? No. He becomes something beyond that. Something like a god."

He added, "Andrew, once you cross that final threshold in your mind, everything else will seem trivial in comparison. You'll be free, like me, above it all, answerable to no one. That is the ultimate power buried inside every human being. That is the Demonic Art."

The words coiled around Andrew like smoke, seeping into the cracks. However, what they ignited in him was not surrender; it was murder.

The moment he broke free of this technique, he was going to kill Byron. That was decided.

Andrew had once considered seeking the man out for answers about his own condition, back when he had not known how deep the rot went. However, he knew now, and knowing meant there was only one outcome.
