Chapter 447 Taking A Life
Chapter 447 Taking A Life
"Of course. Even if people say I don't take 'no' for an answer, I am not stubborn when it comes to things like this. But does he have a choice?" Yanah asked with a narrowed gaze.
Seraphina fell into a dilemma as she looked at Viktor's sleeping face. Even if he was deeply unconscious, his face looked sick and pale while his expression was still slightly grimacing in pain.
This only showed that despite her efforts to put him to sleep to avoid feeling pain, it still wasn't enough to let him sleep peacefully.
She didn't want to make a decision on his behalf since this was a very important matter, but right now, he wasn't in the state to make a decision.
If she said 'yes' and if Viktor didn't like it, then she would only be doing wrong by him. She knew Viktor had a thing for enjoying his time with beauties but trying to have a child with someone was a whole different thing.
"Let me pray to the Holy Godmother and ask her for guidance," Seraphina said in a low voice, to which Yanah nodded, "Hmm, whatever you need to do."
Seraphina nodded in gratitude and closed her eyes as she went into deep meditation.
She wanted to know if killing Viktor was the answer or if it would destroy or damage his soul since a soul injury was unlike a physical one.
Even to this day, there were no sure shot ways to heal a soul injury, and thus Seraphina was hesitant to take any risks. She knew Viktor could come back from any severe physical injury, but she didn't know if his soul would be able to recuperate as well. Both were entirely different.
A faint silver glow radiated from her body as her mind reached into a sacred place.
Whenever she prayed to the Holy Godmother, all she would gain was an intuition on what to do next, and this time she desperately needed it.
Yanah floated beside Viktor as she curiously looked at him and caressed his strikingly handsome face, "What makes you so special, Azu…I wonder what you went through to become like this…" Yanah was finding his existence more and more fascinating the more she thought about it.
True immortality was a dream not even the strongest could achieve yet would massacre anyone in search of it.
So how come nobody noticed his existence? Or how come someone with true immortality hasn't made a name for himself yet? What was he doing all this time, and where was he living?
The more she thought about bearing his child, the more she felt interested to know more about him.
She didn't know why but she felt that the future of her race was in his hands. She couldn't think of any answer other than him.
Seraphina, who was deep in meditation, wrinkled her eyebrows as if she was feeling something unpleasant.
Her lips were firmly pressed against each other, and finally, she opened her eyes which were looking a bit fragile.
"So? How did it go?" Yanah asked with crossed arms as she saw Seraphina open her eyes.
"I...I think I know what to do…You were probably right before…" Seraphina said in a quivering voice as she placed her hands on Viktor's chest while Yanah had a puzzled look, wondering what she meant and what she was going to do.
Since Azu's life and death were Yanah's concern now, she closely observed what Seraphina was doing to him.
But she couldn't understand why Seraphina seemed quite tense and shaky, and even her expression seemed a bit sad. Did she get nothing from the Holy Godmother, or was it something else?
She found it even more puzzling since she didn't sense Seraphina's odic force entering Azu's body. Instead, Yanah raised her eyebrows as she sensed Azu's odic force being rapidly depleting in his body. In other words, she was killing him!
"Sera…you…" Yanah was speechless and didn't know what to say. But she could see that Seraphina's lips were trembling as if she was struggling to do this and hated what she was doing.
Yanah couldn't understand why Seraphina didn't let her do it if she was going to do it anyway instead of feeling guilty like this.
Seraphina's body was visibly shaking as she continued to push forward what she was doing with hitched breaths. She had never taken a life before, but now she had to do it to try and save someone who had put their trust in her and someone whom she cared about more than she thought.
She could have let Yanah do it, but she felt that it was her responsibility since she was the reason Viktor ended up like this. She had enough of letting others do all the heavy lifting for her, even if it meant that she would be breaking her own beliefs in doing so.
But she remembered what the Holy Godmother showed her, and this time her eyes became determined as she took in every last bit of odic force that was present in Viktor's body, draining his life away till there was nothing left.
"You…really killed him…" Yanah mumbled in disbelief as she saw Azu's lifeless face, though the hideous poisonous veins were still present all over his body. But the question she wanted the answer to was if he would really come back, or was Seraphina mistaken?
Seraphina closed her eyes as a single tear trickled down one of her cheeks. She never thought she would take a life and the person to be someone like Viktor.
Strangely enough, other than the guilt and shame of breaking her own beliefs, she didn't feel pain in taking his life. She didn't know if it was because she knew she was doing it to help him or something else.
Right when Yanah was about to get disappointed, thinking that he was gone for real, she felt a powerful surge of odic force brushing past her and towards Azu's body.
Her eyes shone in expectation when she saw Azu's fingers twitch as his body was flooded with pure odic force, spreading over his entire body.
