By stabbing his hand into Ethan's stomach, he used one of Lumi's skills, which was called 『 Swallow 』.
It was a twisted skill, one that let his body absorb anything. Poison, magic, curses—whatever he touched, it became part of him.
And just like that… the venom that was killing Ethan was now inside Aestrea instead.
But Aestrea doesn't know how the poison works, so he didn't want to take more risks by swallowing the poison from Eira and her team members.
So, instead, he spoke coldly.
"What can you give me for their life?"
Everyone froze.
Rayn's mouth opened, but nothing came out.
Ulgar, still kneeling, suddenly stopped holding Aestrea's leg.
He looked up.
His eyes were wide, not in anger now, but now they had a hint of hope.
Slowly, he reached for his little finger.
A silver ring shimmered on it.
He twisted it off.
And pulled out a small, glowing bottle from inside.
