After hearing that his knowledge could be extracted even after death, Aldric's eyes widened in shock, and a worried expression etched itself onto his face.
He had underestimated the extent of Kurayami's power, and now, facing the prospect of having his knowledge forcibly extracted from his departing soul, fear and dread coursed through him. His lips quivered as he attempted to form words, but the shock had left him momentarily speechless.
Kurayami, on the other hand, stood before Aldric with an eerie calmness. His sinister grin had evolved into an expression of calculating resolve. He had no intention of letting this opportunity slip away. Extracting knowledge from a departing soul was a rare and powerful ability, and he was determined to harness every bit of information he could from Aldric.
"Wait... What..." Aldric's voice trembled with desperation, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
