195 – Salvation – 4
While I hesitated for a moment to think about the important matter, the three of them started growling again without getting tired of it. It was fortunate that he was driven to the brink of death and survived, so it was nothing more than a threat.
If they tried to hit each other and fight here again, Olivia would have slaughtered us all. I must have been taken to that newlyweds’ house or something.
‘I’d like to believe that it won’t happen until this situation… … .’
That was just my hopes anyway. Even with Olivia right in front of them, they were fighting each other and fighting each other, and were all destroyed by one Olivia.
They are children who have never thought of cooperation until the moment their lives come and go. It was clear that if he had regained his strength even now, he would not have stopped at the level of growling with his mouth.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The eyes looking at me were stinging. It was a silent protest and pressure. Of the three of us, who would you choose first, of course, wouldn’t you choose me first?
You might want to do something like that, but the order was a very important issue for those three. No matter who I choose first right now, what will happen after that is good in my eyes.
The one who was chosen first would look down on the other two like a bug, and the one who was chosen last would not even want to imagine. Because it was clear that something was about to explode.
‘Should I serve Charlotte first?’
In fact, if you were to exclude all other emotions and only look at efficiency objectively, it was right to do Charlotte first.
Serena and Christine were the kind of people who would absolutely obey my words in the end, no matter what happened behind the scenes. Even if it is an order that will cause your ego to drop to the bottom.
Taken to the extreme, even if I gave the order to commit suicide here, he would gladly sacrifice his life by cutting his throat or ripping out his heart.
Charlotte was a character far from such loyalty or fanaticism, so it was the right choice to put a soul bond on Charlotte first considering the degree of risk.
However, I didn’t want to. I don’t know why either. For some reason, I just felt like it wouldn’t be possible. Something kept bothering me.
No matter how much Serena and Christine were sending me fanatical loyalty and faith, I didn’t want to break their hearts with my own hands, relying on that loyalty and faith.
“I…….”
Olivia was still closing the distance with me moment by moment, smashing the overlapping timelines and spaces. It was time to make a choice.
A brilliant idea flashed through my head as I was desperately trying to figure out who to pick first.
Yes, there was no need to bind souls here.
“You guys do it.”
“Yes?”
“What did you say?”
“That’s what…”
At my sudden remark, the three of them were visibly embarrassed as they were fighting each other, raising their spirits over who would be chosen first. It must have been because there was an option that I hadn’t even thought of.
“I’m not soul binding you guys, you guys soul binding me.”
Yes, this was the method I chose. It’s not about soul binding to three people on this side, it’s about soul binding on me on the other side.
Isn’t it impossible for three people to use Soul Binding at the same time? We have already experienced countless things that were considered impossible.
Being fixed in time, the fact that Olivia, who thought she was dead, came back to life, the fact that Serena, Christine, and Charlotte raised the level of their souls to the next level, and finally to this moment.
The lives of Serena, Christine, and Charlotte have already been a series of turning the impossible into the possible. So, even if one more impossibility was added, nothing would change.
“No time. Hurry up.”
When I urged her, Charlotte put her hand on my chest without hesitation. Serena and Christine seemed to be hesitating, but when they saw Charlotte like that, they lit up and followed suit.
Olivia, who confirmed this from afar, heard the sound of literally going mad. I tried to ignore the sound. Now, the longest time left is about 30 seconds.
“Now put your other hand on your heart. The soul is a very abstract concept. You guys have to figure out how to do it yourself.”
After confirming that the three of them had put their hands on each other’s hearts, they continued talking.
“I used it as a way to bring out something inside the heart. But even this isn’t an absolute answer. You have to figure out your own way. That’s all the advice I can give you.”
There was also anxiety about what to do if the three of them failed to raise their spirits. I’ve never been on the receiving end of a soul bond, not the one attempting a soul bond.
This was also the first time the three of them had tried soul bonding. Even if this was the first attempt, it was not enough, and the time limit was hanging.
However, as if to prove that my anxiety was unfounded, a soft light began to leak from under the palms of each of them.
‘Was it a useless concern?’
Well, with what qualifications do I have to worry about these three? These kids are much more gifted than me.
“Push it into your palm with the feeling of moving it into your heart. Then it’s over.”
The soft light gradually drew closer. Serena, Christine, and Charlotte were all blushing and trembling.
It is probably a very strange feeling that the soul moves to another body. If not, he may be doing it because he is excited about the fact that his soul is being combined with mine.
“……Before I finish, I will ask you one last question.”
Feeling the sense of souls touching each other, accepting it, I asked the three of them one last question.
“This soul bond will be different from what we’ve done in the past. It’s not just that we’re connected, it’s that I can use your powers at will, even if you don’t want to. I’ll use all of your powers. You can pull it out and kill it. But, don’t you regret it?”
This was exactly what I was worried about. My current soul is in a very special state, so it’s possible to worry.
The original soul bond is formed when two equal souls blend into one. However, now I was able to form subordinate relationships with three souls. No, I had to.
If desired, it was possible to block the use of three people’s powers, to allow Serena’s power to be used by Charlotte or Christine, or vice versa, to allow Christine or Charlotte to use Serena’s power.
Even the life and death of three people was in my hands. The plan to do something like that would be out of the blue, but assuming a really extreme case.
As I finished speaking, three pairs of eyes with different colors turned to me. In those eyes, there was no hesitation at all.
“My lord.”
Serena was the first to speak.
“Whatever orders your lord gives to me, I am ready to accept them all. Even if you cut off my limbs or my head, if your lord wants it, I will gladly do as a knight. I will work, and I will never forsake you, unless you forsake me.”
“You are greatly mistaken, my lady.”
The next to speak was Charlotte.
“Take my power? Take my life? What does that mean? I have said it plainly. Whatever you want, be it money, treasure, the kingdom, or this Charlotte de Gargantua itself. He said that he would be happy to grant any request. That heart hasn’t changed even now, so don’t try to doubt my heart.”
“My God.”
Christine was the last to speak.
“It is rather something that I have to kneel down and bow my head on my side and beg for. God taking and using the power of this pitiful and insignificant lamb. What could be more glorious in the world than that? If you ask for strength, I will gladly pluck out every last piece of my soul and offer it as a burnt offering to God.”
After speaking, the three pushed their souls into my heart without asking anyone first. Excited breathing was heard over and over again.
As soon as he accepted 3 souls with a tremendous level at the same time, his heart started beating like crazy. It was so intense that I wondered if it would explode with a bang.
My eyes were blurred. He swallowed the clot of blood that had risen up his throat.
“Master!!!!!!”
Right behind me, I heard Olivia coughing up blood and calling out to me.
Rather than the fact that I was trying to win myself through soul bonding, the fact that I had a soul bond with someone other than myself would be unbearable.
I turned my head. Olivia was right in front of me. All kinds of complicated emotions were mixed in that expression. Anger, hatred, confusion, etc.
Among them, anger and hatred are probably not the feelings toward me.
“It’s late, Olivia.”
My soul pulsated a little.
