"Make your choice."
With calm golden eyes gazing at Jelan, who retained only the last sliver of consciousness, Igor said, "I respect you, so I didn't force you to become my kin. This is my merciful gift, and I hope you can make the right choice."
Jelan lifted his weary eyelids to look at Louise, who was in the same predicament as him on the floor... Oh no, he didn't have a heart anymore.
To die, or... to become a non-human monster!
For Jelan, the two options weren't difficult to choose between; he opened his mouth and resolutely swallowed the drop of blood suspended in front of him.
"Ah!!!!!"
Jelan, having swallowed the drop of blood, let out a painful cry. His face contorted with agony, his body as though being torn apart by countless ants, the piercing pain from deep within his bones constantly challenged the last bit of his sanity.
"The pain is only temporary."
