章 173: … Together (2) {R-18}

"Abandon our humanity?"

"Yes," Evian said slowly, "You can't harness Eldritch energy and remain the same, and really, you should not. You will be profiting from my Soul-Eating even if you don't dabble in it yourself.

You'll gain strength faster and more robustly than any Knight or Arcanist in this world could ever dream of but of course, it comes with a price."

"What's the price?" Carleine asked.

"If there is anyone who marks me for what I am, you will be marked for the same i.e. if I am hunted, so will you. My Seal will mark you as mine…"

"Let's do it!" Ember said suddenly. She had heard enough to be convinced. 

Beside Ember, Carleine had a curious expression,

"Does this… bring us closer together?" She asked and then sighed with a rephrase, "Does this mean something?"

"It does." Evian is with a nod, his face still shrouded by his hood.

"Then bring it on."

"Please do."
