DROP OF BLOOD LET MY FINGER

Marana stared at me with a powerful murderous intention. "If something happens to my sister, I swear I'll kill you."

"Yeah? You are welcome to try." I then looked at Raven and bit my finger. A drop of blood let my finger and floated in the air, creating a gorgeous scene. Under the surprised gazes of the three, the drop of blood transformed into a complicated tridimensional magic array.

The magic array shone with an ominous glow that seemed to want to devour all the souls nearby. But with a gesture of mine, it froze.

Then, I spoke.

"I, the immortal soul wandering through eternity, wielder of the flawed end, make this contract with the universe's laws as a witness. From today until eternity, this soul belongs to me!" My voice resounded through the world, causing terrifying weather changes and making the world tremble. All the powerhouses around the world felt that something had changed.

Millions of dimensions away, a woman looked towards us. Her eyes briefly regained a small bit of light, but they dimmed in the next second.

"... So you are there, huh, my old friend."

In another place, even further away, a pair of red eyes opened abruptly.

An expression of surprise and glee filled the eyes, before being replaced by madness and obsession. Soon, the being trapped under uncountable layers of seals started to break free.

"... Dad."

Of course, I did not know that my actions had caused such a change, but even if I knew, I would have proceeded anyway.

This girl, perhaps she was the key to the answer I had been searching for so long.

The bloody light of the contract shone with even more strength. The three girls around me felt their bodies shiver. An unknown and overwhelming feeling of danger invaded their minds.

*Rumble!*

The entire world cried in rage! The gods opened their eyes searching for the source of such evil, and the asleep powerhouses were forced out of their dreams.

The hero shivered, a sliver of fear had been planted in her mind. The seer felt the world change. Fate, that had always been clear before her eyes, turned muddy for a brief instant.

Many tried to pinpoint the source of the change, however, they failed to find it. A thick and heavy fog seemed to hide it.

Immense pressure assaulted me. The universe's laws seemed unwilling to see me succeed.

I roared in rage! My powerful soul willed the world to do my bidding, and my mana rushed crazily towards the contract. I endured the backlash of the universe's laws and made sure that nothing was wrong.

Soon, the tridimensional contract was completely formed.

I lifted Raven's chin and looked into her eyes. "Raven, are you sure of this? Once you accept, you will be mine until eternity. If you show the slightest hesitation when signing the contract, your soul will be dammed!"

Raven's eyes opened wide. Fear and uncertainty flashed in her mind, but when she saw my eyes, for some reason she calmed down.

She could feel my excitement, my incredible happiness, and my nervousness. She got the feeling that this contract was very important to me.

She had the feeling that she was very important to me.

So, after one second of hesitation, she nodded.

"Mm."

Instantly, the contract moved.

It entered her head and found her soul before rushing to it. Raven felt a head-splitting pain assault her mind, making her cry in pain.

But in the next second, she felt my lips pressed against hers.

With that as the signal, the contract lit up with a powerful light.

Our two souls were bonded together. A bond beyond life and death, made to be eternal, but unfortunately flawed. From then, our souls would be together until her soul dissipates.

*Rumble* Enraged noises emerged from the world. It tried to destroy the forbidden contract, to stop Raven from transcending life and death, but I stopped it. My body was twisted by the powers of the world, but my will forced the world to retreat.

Finally, the entire world fell silent.

Then, everything returned to normal.

Raven closed her eyes. Her body lost its strength and fell into my arms. I grabbed her with a gentle gaze and caressed her cheek.

In the next second, my body trembled.

Hundreds of injuries erupted at the same time, filling the ground with my blood.

Marana and Akilah, that had seen everything from start to end, looked at me in complete fear.

"... What the fuck happened."
