"I am grateful for the opportunity, elder." Felix said with a firm tone while bowing his head near Carbuncle's finger.

Although the pain was enough to make him reconsider his life choices, Felix was still unfazed.
He merely eyed the crystallized shimmering inscriptions crawling from Carbuncle's finger into his skin silently.
