My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Linking
They reached the origin of the disturbance after nearly dying from the raptures.

Their power wasn’t the issue; rather, the special conditions of this place had stripped away their usual advantages, leaving them with few options.

“Is that it ?” Asher asked.

Before them stood something that defied explanation—a black hole, but it behaved differently from those they’d seen devouring everything in their path.

This one looked almost fragile, as if made of glass. Its surface shimmered faintly, reflecting light in distorted waves.

“Yes,” Index muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

Asher’s gaze locked onto it. For all the destruction they’d seen caused by the void, this anomaly looked deceptively calm. If anything, it seemed more controlled than the raptures.

You’ve checked this before?” he asked.

Nodding, Index took a step closer.

“I’ve been studying it. It’s not like the raptures—it’s a completely different concept.” Her tone tightened as she hesitated. “There’s a chance it could lead us out. But…”

She stopped mid-sentence, her lips pressing into a thin line.

He frowned and stepped beside her. “But what? Tell me.”

Sighing, she met his gaze. “It could lead anywhere, and if we’re unlucky, it might drop us in another part of the void where we’d be trapped in total darkness”

Asher’s stomach churned. For a moment, the hope that had been building up inside him felt like it was slipping away.

“So, it’s just a blind leap? No way to control it?”

She shook her head. “Not yet. That’s why I’ve been cautious. I’ve been trying to find patterns, studying its behavior. But nothing I’ve found offers any certainty.”

The implications were worse than he’d imagined. For someone like Index—calculated, methodical—to hesitate this much, it meant the risks were far beyond anything he could comprehend.

“Is that why you brought me here? To make me understand the risk?”

Index looked conflicted. She knew Asher was fixated on escaping. That’s why she wanted to show him this—to stop him from acting recklessly.

If she was honest, now that she had him, she wasn’t as worried.

They could live here together, perhaps even build a family. With the house and their magic, they could turn it into a small town if they put their minds to it.

There was no need to take such a risk. And if they ever had to, she’d rather wait until they had lived together for hundreds of years first.

“Yes, Asher, it’s too dangerous…I don’t want us to part away” she stuttered, her emotions breaking her words.

He could see the fear in her eyes, the vulnerability she was trying so hard to hide. It wasn’t like her to hesitate, to show weakness.

“Index…” he began, his voice softer. “I understand. Let’s go with my plan of finding another way and take it slow.”

He placed a hand on her shoulder, his touch warm. Without waiting for a response, he pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly.

For a brief second, the world outside the hug disappeared—the black hole, the danger, the uncertainty. It was just the two of them, standing there, sharing the quiet comfort of each other’s presence.

“I’ll make sure we don’t rush into anything. We’ll figure this out together,” he added, his voice steady against her ear.

Index’s breath hitched for a moment before she sighed, her body relaxing in his arms.

“You always know how to make me feel like I’m not alone.”

He pulled back slightly, just enough to look her in the eyes. “Because you’re not. Not now, not ever.”

She smiled faintly, her heart swelling with a mixture of relief and gratitude.

“Thank you.” She closed her eyes, her breath slowing, lips parted in anticipation. He leaned in, brushing his lips against hers.

They stayed close for a moment, savoring the warmth between their lips before pulling back just slightly.

“Let’s go home,” he murmured, his voice soft and calm.

Together, they turned away from the source of the disturbance, deciding to continue their life in the void until a better and safer chance to escape arose.

If that time never came, at least they had each other—that was the plan. But then, golden chains erupted from the glass like blackhole.

The two reacted quickly, casting barriers around their bodies, but the chains passed through them as if they had no physical form, wrapping around Asher instead.

“NO!” Index cried out, reaching for him, but the chains somehow kept her from touching him. Her hand passed right through his body.

“His body’s vibrating at a different frequency!” she exclaimed, panic rising in her chest. She had no idea what frequency it was, and figuring it out would take too long.

“Tenere Aetherium!” she chanted, and ethereal-colored chains erupted from her body. But they passed through him, just like everything else.

She tried to enter the origin as well, but a force pushed back against her, rejecting her no matter how hard she tried or how powerful her spell was.

“Asher!” she shouted.

He saw the pain in her eyes, the desperation in her gaze, and it broke his heart.

The thought of leaving her alone hurt more than he could put into words. He casted his own spell.

This time, because he shared the same frequency as the chain, he managed to slow the pulling force just slightly.

But it wasn’t enough—he was still moving.

With few options left, he activate mind zero for a brief moment to find a solution, and then it hit him.

“Create an anchor point in your chest. I’ll memorize it,” he urged.

Index’s heart raced as she understood his plan. She quickly obeyed, focusing her energy.

A purple magic circle began to form in the air, shimmering with intensity.

He focused on every detail—the code, the language—committing it to memory. He had to, for them both.

“I promise…” His voice cracked as tears welled in his eyes, his chest aching with the weight of his words.

“No matter what happens… I’ll find a way to reach you. Don’t give up. I swear, I’ll come back for you.”

His tears fell freely now, as the thought of never seeing her again crushed him.

Index fell to her knees, her sobs racking her body. She nodded, barely able to breathe through the pain, her heart breaking into pieces.

In that silent exchange, without words, they both knew the bitter truth—that this might be the last time they would ever see each other. The chains around him pulled tighter, dragging him away.

“Index, I love you. Please wait for me.”

“I will!” she cried, forcing a smile through the wave of fear and desperation.

With one final, powerful tug, he was gone—leaving her behind, alone, in the heavy silence of their goodbye.

“I…” Index choked on the words, her shoulders trembling as the weight of her grief hit her all at once.

She hadn’t realized how deeply lonely she had been until now.

All this time, she had convinced herself that being alone was something she could handle.

But after experiencing life with him, after feeling the warmth of his presence, everything had changed.

The silence around her now felt suffocating, and the emptiness left by his absence was unbearable.

In the midst of her pain, she didn’t notice the faint golden light glowing softly inside her womb.
