Arkanos used all means to break free from the hand, but the hold was just too strong for him. He tried to form the ice blades but they fell apart halfway. He could not keep his focus to maintain the blade with the terror pain he felt all over his body. This was the first time he felt such great pain in his life. It was as if his flesh along with his bone was being squished, and his innards were gripped. This was the worst.
It did not take long before the magic circle appeared above his forehead. It was a signal that Arkanos had given up and was willing to form the contract. This was not even a fight. That was just torture. The creature was torturing him until he tapped. He did not know the trick but what he experienced was just the worst.
"I thought you were tough," Tang Shaoyang released his grip, letting Arkanos fall. He then bent forward and placed his hand on the magical circle, "It's not even five minutes yet," he muttered for the spirit to hear.
