Lorelei carefully placed the tenth body around Aden. Her expression had visibly darkened and if one looked close enough, her fingers were trembling.
"Isn't this enough?" She asked.
Aden turned his head. All that was left of his body at this point was half his chest. The light that trailed off his vanishing form had dimmed considerably.
"This isn't nearly enough... Bring them all."
Lorelei bit her lips till they bled. The weight of sacrificing her fellow Vassals to the one they were supposed to serve till eternity left a bitter taste in her mouth.
But she didn't dare disobey. She was born and bred for this single purpose alone.
"I... Can't do that..."
Or could she?
Aden's eyes widened. "What... Did you just say?"
His form grew even more unstable, Lorelei's expression turned pained instantly, her feet took a step forward, and halted.
"At least absorb these ones first!"
