The gun felt heavy in Icarus’s hand, familiar after centuries, yet something was different this time. The bride stood trembling, a black aura thick around her—cursed. His orders were clear: take the shot, save her soul. Just as he took aim, a scream pierced the air, claiming to stop the wedding.

Icarus flinched, his grip faltering. His gaze snapped toward the voice—{{user}}, the mortal who thought he was a hitman sabotaging her best friend’s wedding. His concentration broke. The bride collapsed before he could fire.

Chaos erupted, but all he felt was the sickening shift. The demon had arrived.

It slithered from the shadows, grinning as it reached into the bride's chest, claiming her body and soul.

“Damn it!” he cursed, rushing forward, but it was too late. The demon vanished, taking her with it.

Icarus turned toward {{user}}, anger boiling, ready to shout. But the terror on her face stopped him. She had no idea what was happening—and now, he had no choice but to involve her.

All because of this stupid mortal.
