"You know you are going to die soon, right?" I asked Raven with a nonchalant tone, but I was incredibly excited inwardly . In fact, I was struggling to control my excitement .
Marana and Akilah's expression froze, but Raven's eyes opened wide with a how-do-you-know look .
"Hey! What kind of stupidity are you saying!? I won't forgive you if y–"
"Mm . " Raven interrupted Akilah and nodded .
Instantly, the entire place fell silent .
"R-Raven, what are you s-saying? A-Are you going to die?" Akilah stammered . Marana's expression turned heavy, but she soon understood the reason .
"… The daggers?"
"…" Raven nodded silently .
I looked at the three of them with a small smile expression . Marana had told me that they were not true blood sisters, but they had grown together as true sisters . Even if they were not blood-related, their relationship was stronger than many blood siblings .
"… What happened?" Marana asked darkly .
Raven remained silent . She had been keeping her condition hidden from her sisters . She knew that if her sisters learned about that, they were going to feel guilty .
After all, part of the reason she accepted the power of the daggers was them .
"Allow me to explain . " I observed Raven with an interested expression . "These Daggers are cursed, and their curse is very strong . They carry the resentment of thousands of lives and tens of owners . Born for revenge, they grant the user a great power in exchange for the user's lifeforce . Raven reached the seventh layer at such a short age, so the price she has to pay can be imagined . If I'm not wrong, she will die in less than five years . "
The three girls fell silent . Akilah bit her lips and her face was filled with guilt . Marana, on the other hand, did her best to keep a calm look .
She then raised her face and looked at me . "You have a way, right?"
I smiled like the Cheshire cat . "Of course I have . I would not have mentioned it otherwise . "
"Then…!"
"But, what can you give me in exchange?"
Marana fell silent . Her expression changed between struggle and determination, and finally, she looked at me with firm eyes .
"I'll give you my everything!"
"Sister! Don't!"
"Stop, Akilah! I'll not allow Raven to die! If I have to give him my life to save her, I'm glad of doing it!"
"But–"
"Silence! It's final!"
I looked a both of them with interest . "How nice . I admire your relationship . "
Akilah bit her lips and looked at me with a gaze full of hatred . I just flashed her a smile and looked at Raven .
"However, I'm more interested in her . "
Marana's expression changed .
"Stop! I'll not allow you to d–"
"I accept . " Raven nodded with a firm expression . "If you save me, I'll be yours . "
"Raven!"
"I'm sorry, big sis . I'll not let you sacrifice yourself for my sake . " Raven's gaze was filled with an unwavering will . Marana and Akilah were frozen silent, unable to speak after seeing her eyes .
I smiled even more brightly . "Very well . Don't worry, I'll not harm you . Instead, it's a great opportunity for you . "
Marana stared at me with a powerful murderous intention . "If something happens to my sister, I swear I'll kill you . "
"Yeah? You are welcome to try . " I then looked at Raven and bit my finger . A drop of blood let my finger and floated in the air, creating a gorgeous scene . Under the surprised gazes of the three, the drop of blood transformed into a complicated tridimensional magic array .
The magic array shone with an ominous glow that seemed to want to devour all the souls nearby . But with a gesture of mine, it froze .
Then, I spoke .
"I, the immortal soul wandering through eternity, wielder of the flawed end, make this contract with the universe's laws as a witness . From today until eternity, this soul belongs to me!" My voice resounded through the world, causing terrifying weather changes and making the world tremble . All the powerhouses around the world felt that something had changed .
Millions of dimensions away, a woman looked towards us . Her eyes briefly regained a small bit of light, but they dimmed in the next second .
"… So you are there, huh, my old friend . "
In another place, even further away, a pair of red eyes opened abruptly .
An expression of surprise and glee filled the eyes, before being replaced by madness and obsession . Soon, the being trapped under uncountable layers of seals started to break free .
"… Dad . "
Of course, I did not know that my actions had caused such a change, but even if I knew, I would have proceeded anyway .
This girl, perhaps she was the key to the answer I had been searching for so long .
The bloody light of the contract shone with even more strength . The three girls around me felt their bodies shiver . An unknown and overwhelming feeling of danger invaded their minds .
*Rumble!*
The entire world cried in rage! The gods opened their eyes searching for the source of such evil, and the asleep powerhouses were forced out of their dreams .
The hero shivered, a sliver of fear had been planted in her mind . The seer felt the world change . Fate, that had always been clear before her eyes, turned muddy for a brief instant .
Many tried to pinpoint the source of the change, however, they failed to find it . A thick and heavy fog seemed to hide it .
Immense pressure assaulted me . The universe's laws seemed unwilling to see me succeed . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
I roared in rage! My powerful soul willed the world to do my bidding, and my mana rushed crazily towards the contract . I endured the backlash of the universe's laws and made sure that nothing was wrong .
Soon, the tridimensional contract was completely formed .
I lifted Raven's chin and looked into her eyes . "Raven, are you sure of this? Once you accept, you will be mine until eternity . If you show the slightest hesitation when signing the contract, your soul will be dammed!"
Raven's eyes opened wide . Fear and uncertainty flashed in her mind, but when she saw my eyes, for some reason she calmed down .
She could feel my excitement, my incredible happiness, and my nervousness . She got the feeling that this contract was very important to me .
She had the feeling that she was very important to me .
So, after one second of hesitation, she nodded .
"Mm . "
Instantly, the contract moved .
It entered her head and found her soul before rushing to it . Raven felt a head-splitting pain assault her mind, making her cry in pain .
But in the next second, she felt my lips pressed against hers .
With that as the signal, the contract lit up with a powerful light .
Our two souls were bonded together . A bond beyond life and death, made to be eternal, but unfortunately flawed . From then, our souls would be together until her soul dissipates .
*Rumble* Enraged noises emerged from the world . It tried to destroy the forbidden contract, to stop Raven from transcending life and death, but I stopped it . My body was twisted by the powers of the world, but my will forced the world to retreat .
Finally, the entire world fell silent .
Then, everything returned to normal .
Raven closed her eyes . Her body lost its strength and fell into my arms . I grabbed her with a gentle gaze and caressed her cheek .
In the next second, my body trembled .
Hundreds of injuries erupted at the same time, filling the ground with my blood .
Marana and Akilah, that had seen everything from start to end, looked at me in complete fear .
