Chapter 273: A Soul Contract ? (1/2)

Lawrend did as she said, and he turned into a small copy of himself that floated in front of her.

”Good.” Eleanor nodded her head in satisfaction after seeing him so easily do it.

”Let's hold each other's hands,” Eleanor said.

She extended her hand towards him. He looked at her small and smooth white hands before holding on to them tightly.

”Not like that. Let's wrap our fingers together,” Eleanor said.

She released Lawrend's hand, and she wrapped her fingers around his. He did the same after realizing what she meant.

”Now think of the terms of the contract repeatedly inside your mind. Don't let your mind wander. If the terms of the contract were incorrect, it would fail,” Eleanor said.

”Okay,” Lawrend replied with a nod of his head.

Lawrend closed his eyes and thought of the contract repeatedly.

Eleanor did the same.

”Oh, world, witness our vow to each other. Bind our souls together and align our goals together. Splice our souls and may the betrayer suffer the 12th Punishment, Soul Covenant!” Eleanor chanted.

A blinding white light wrapped around the two of them. It felt warm and familiar. It was as if they were back inside their mother's womb.

That was the touch of the world. It noticed them and witnessed their soul contract with each other. Lawrend felt a small piece of him leave his soul form and float towards Eleanor.

The same thing was happening to her, a small piece of her floated towards Lawrend and it fitted into the place where he lost a small piece of him. That was what also happened to his piece.

Together, they now have a small piece of each other. The white light faded away, and they appeared in the dark space of the inside of his body once again.

”Master, thank you for trusting me. I could have lied to you about the soul contract,” Eleanor said to him with a smile on her face.

”...”

Lawrend's cheeks twitched in response. It was a slip-up on his part. She could have actually tricked him.

”Fufufu. Alright. I'll tell you. You have to expend all of your mana and while you are recovering, you must guide it to the mana pathway that you desire,” Eleanor said.

”What? It's that easy?” Lawrend asked in shock.

He didn't think of that. It could have saved him from making a soul contract with her.

”Fufufu. Regretful? You don't have to worry, Master. If we become whole, I'll convince them to become your maid,” Eleanor replied with a smirk on her face.

”I'm so upset. Thank you, anyways. *Sigh*,” Lawrend replied with a sigh.

Eleanor was still smiling like an idiot in front of him. She found it funny that he was this upset.

Although, she had to admit that he was smart. No one ever thought of modifying their mana pathway according to her knowledge.

She already remembered a lot of memories about her magic knowledge. It would be odd if she couldn't remember something that significant.

Eleanor left the inside of his body and Lawrend opened his eyes.

”I focused too much on the complicated stuff that I forgot to think of something so simple…” Lawrend murmured.

Magic was something he instinctively thought to be naturally complicated. In truth, simple solutions work too.

He exited the room and found Aezel. She was currently washing the dishes in the kitchen.

”Aezel, can you call Elena for me?” Lawrend asked her.
