Taming the Fourth

Now that I have enough mental energy to initiate a new contract, I moved to Fina's side. She was no longer screaming in pain; unlike earlier, however, her consciousness was already faint.

"Fina, can you still hear me?"

I asked just in case, but Fina didn't even move her eyes in my direction. I checked her body just now, but she's still far from death. At least her important organs were still safe.

She was still conscious, but her senses were already useless.

"No choice!"

Without asking for her confirmation, I quickly formed the contract in my head before sending it to Fina. However, it didn't immediately get transmitted.

"What's going on...? Isn't she a monster now?"

I tried once more, but it ended with the same result. The transmission failed as if getting slapped away by something halfway.
