Chapter 308: Summoned By The Goddess (1/2)

”Okay. That's better. We should've signed this sooner,” Lawrend replied with a smile on his face.

”...What if you don't die of old age..?” Ramiela suddenly asked.

Her eyes stared at Lawrend's eyes, and it was full of concern and worry. Clearly, she was starting to feel worried about her current situation.

”What do you mean?” Lawrend asked as he furrowed his eyebrows at her.

”I'm afraid that you're too talented. Each time you become stronger, you will live even longer. Even though I'm an angel with eternal life, I don't want to be stuck beside you forever,” Ramiela replied.

”Huh… How are you so sure that I'll live too long for you to endure?” Lawrend asked.

”Because you have a divine essence. I don't know how high you can reach, but I'm sure it will allow you to live for a long time,” Ramiela replied.

”That makes sense. So, how long is your maximum?”

”1000 years!” Ramiela replied.

”So… If I die within 1000 years, then you're free, but if I don't die after 1000 years, then you'll just leave?” Lawrend asked.

”Correct.” Ramiela nodded her head.

”1000 years… That's quite long. Things would be different after 1000 years,” Lawrend replied.

”Human, aren't you getting too cocky? One thousand years will be half your lifespan if you become a Grand Mage. It's short,” Ramiela replied with displeasure on her face.

”Now that I think about it, I never knew how long one could live depending on the strength,” Lawrend thought out loud as he rubbed his chin.

”I can explain, Master,” Aleshia said with her hand raised lightly.

”Sure. Go ahead,” Lawrend replied.

”A human will start having a longer lifespan after they become an Arch Mage or a Hill Sword. An Arch Mage can live up to 200 years, and then a Grand Mage could live up to 500 years,” Aleshia explained.

”Oh! That's interesting.”

Lawrend then faced Ramiela.

”The terms would be…”

To sum it up, the terms of this new soul contract would be to forbid Lawrend from killing her unless she betrayed him. She then could not attempt to harm anyone he considered his family.

”That's okay for me,” Ramiela replied.

She walked closer to him, and they stood in front of each other and held hands together. They closed their eyes and thought about the terms of the contract.

”Oh, Goddess, 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!” Ramiela chanted.

A blinding white glow covered the two of them like a cocoon.

”What's happening? This is different from before!” Elena exclaimed.

Aleshia and the rest had their mouths wide open in amazement.

”Lawrend, welcome back,” a voice greeted him.

His eyes were closed, and he opened them.

”Who?” Lawrend asked.

He looked around and saw the Goddess from before. Her beautiful body shaped perfectly, and her unforgettable face. It was all so familiar to him.

”D-Did I die?” Lawrend asked as he gulped his saliva.
