Meanwhile… back in the narrow passage…
Liam panted hoarsely, fully drenched in sweat. However, the other party was in a much worse condition.
In front of him, the elven elder wailed in agony. "Please let me go! Please let me go!"
He was a lofty being who had once roamed the heavens freely but now he was reduced to this?!!! Even though his ego did not allow it, the small sliver of soul couldn't stop itself from wailing and begging. The pain of one's soul shredding was just that unbearable.
"Why must you torture me like this? I let you in. I gave you the inheritance. Now you want my soul?!! Don't you have any conscience, human?"
"Conscience?" Liam's voice was low, a deep rumble echoing through the passage. "You think I can afford to have something as useless as that? I am sorry but this is your own fault. You should not have revealed your weakness."
