Someone Very Dear In His Heart

Luna continued her chant and more runes danced around Ethan.

Some of them even went inside his body, as if they were being absorbed by something. The Chesmire Cat had mentioned that this might happen, so Luna didn’t think much of it.

Ten minutes later, Ethan started to pant for breath. He was still in a trance, but his body was reacting subconsciously to the runes that were circling around him.

Luna, who saw this, became a bit worried. However, she couldn’t stop the ceremony mid-way because it might create a backlash that would hurt her, and Ethan as well.

Five more minutes passed, and Ethan was already crouching on the ground on bended knee. He was still clutching his chest, and his breathing was now very ragged.

After saying the last part of the chant, a red rune appeared above Ethan’s head and slowly descended until it melded with his body.

Time seemed to stop as Luna watched with anxiety as Ethan ceased all movements.
