Alone in the house now with Aurelius and the others, Liam looked at all of them.
"None of you are to make a contract with the Shroud Master." As he said this, Elly communicated with him, 'That's not enough, Liam.'
Both of them exchanged glances.
They then disappeared and reappeared in a blur.
At that moment, the rest of the surviving ascendants were killed.
One of the blood spurts painted Aurelius's face red, making him shiver in fear.
When Elly told Liam, 'It's not enough,' it reminded him that a soul contract can be canceled by someone stronger.
This made the ascendants potential enemies and not worth keeping.
Elly then looked at Aurelius with a cold gaze. "You have done your part. You should go to the Shroud when the ritual starts."
"Do that, or we will kill you. This is my advice: don't even make a contract with the Shroud Master. I have seen the results. It's not worth the exchange," Liam said.
