Chapter 54: Spirit Contract (1/2)

Jenna froze on the spot and looked at Kadyn with quivering eyes. Hands trembled and lips shivered. Then she stammered. ”Kad-Sir, please, forgive me. I was wrong, but I never had any intention to harm Elora.”

As she spoke, she fell on her knees and started to sob. Kadyn cared a little about her antic emotional melodrama—she should have thought about this before hurting his sister—he turned towards Fenon before speaking. ”You also stay here.”

The boy, who had just sighed in relief, tumbled back and almost fell on his butt in trepidation. Fenon's face paled and horror was evident on his handsome face. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Kadyn said. ”No need to beg. It won't do any good, other than annoying me.”

Hearing these words, Fenon felt as if the soul had almost left his body. Looking at the condition of Hicka, he felt as if vipers were crawling on his neck. No one could tell how much misery and pain Hicka was feeling at this moment. Moreover, no one wanted to know that either. Such a misery, such an ending. Too frightening.

”You can go,” Kadyn said towards others. ”However, remember to be more tactful in the future.”

”Ye-yes, sir,” Shum said in a fearful voice. ”Th-thank you for be-being merciful.”

Then they held a chunk of meat that was filled with dripping pus and wriggling maggots. As they felt the gooeyness on their hands, their faces paled and Big One puked; following him, all of them did the same, the stench was unbearable; on top of that the disgusting pus and worms that touched their hands made their gut to lurch.

However, when Kadyn's cold eyes fell into their view, none of them dared to remain in this damnable place, and scurried out of the hall. Just as they left, Elora rushed inside with a horrified face. ”What was that?!” she demanded. She saw something outside that looked like a human, but not a human in any way.

Kadyn had no intention to reply to her question directly as it would make the situation even more complicated, and he wouldn't be able to respond to the shower of questions that would come afterwards.

”It's good you're here. Now tell me, how do you want to deal with them?” As he said, he pointed towards Fenon and Jenna, whose expressions turned stiff immediately before a gush of delight rushed out of their faces. They would endure any punishment if they could escape that certain horror. They would even die happily to avoid becoming that abomination.

Elora peered at the duo and looked at them with narrow eyes. At this moment she felt no kinship with that girl who was like her sister at some point; now she was a complete stranger to her. ”No need to do anything to them.” She said and shook her head. ”I have already forgotten everything.”

A jubilant expression appeared on the duo's face. They could escape this calamity. However, at this moment a voice that was like the voice of Yama King to them sounded, almost freezing their heart. ”How could you let them go just like this?” Kadyn said, a little dissatisfied. ”At least shatter their Elemental Pool, cripple them. You already know what kind of intention this mother-fucking maggot Fenon had previously. Jenna had betrayed your trust. Every person should pay for their actions.”

”Humph, if you've already decided then why are you even asking me.” Elora scoffed. ”Do whatever you want, but don't ask my opinion about anything in the future.” She said and dashed out of the hall, leaving only frowning Kadyn behind. She is too naïve. He thought and shook his head.
