It had been almost six hours since Lyod had seen Aria unconscious and the girl's body floating in the center of the spell circle.
Were it not for the priest assuring that the communication linking process was successful and Aria was not in danger, Lyod would have broken this spell and brought Aria back.
He didn't know what Aria was talking about with the lord of the darkness and was worried that the wicked bloodsucker would make things difficult for Aria.
"Is it still long?"
"Alpha king, we're already at this point. We can't suddenly cut this connection and don't know to what point the negotiations are going. At least, there have been no waves of pressure or resistance until now, which means the lord of the darkness has not harmed the young lady."
In a way, the longer the conversation between Aria and the lord of the darkness, the better. The priest didn't know what happened or what Aria was discussing with the lord of the darkness.
