Chapter 252 (1): No Turning Back
“What did you do to me?”
Senna raised her trembling hands, her face as pale as a sheet of paper. While her body was still her body, and her bloodline remained, she could feel that she was no longer pure—Wayne had changed her thoughts and body.
“A gift for mutual trust.”
Wayne smiled. He had given the gift once—to Filomina. That time, Wayne had corrupted her accidentally, and as soon as he realized that something wasn’t right, he stopped himself.
The gift made Filomina’s golden triangle more balanced and washed away the grey taint in her body, allowing her thoughts to remain efficient and rational, as well as making her mana almost flawless.
Senna was different. Wayne had let go and changed her more thoroughly. Due to his lack of experience, he hadn’t foreseen how Senna would have changed. Now that he saw the result, he had to say that it turned out well!
Senna had become his shape!
The transformation shouldn’t have been so complete. Wayne lacked experience, and after accidentally changing Filomina, he had only ever seen his corruption as an offensive skill. Virgil, Cerci, and Dorrin, for example, had lost their minds due to his corruption and turned into mindless ghouls.
Senna was to blame for presenting her thoughts to him without reservation, allowing him to mold her freely. If she had pulled back even a little, Wayne wouldn’t have been able to convert her so fully; at worst, she would’ve become mindless like his previous victims.
Now...
Looking at Wayne’s evil, meaningful smile, Senna felt chilled to the bones. Her eyes glinted viciously as she transformed one hand into a dragon claw and charged at him.
She was so quick that the naked eye couldn’t catch her motion. There was the sound of flesh tearing, and then her arm pierced through Wayne’s chest. Her draconic claw penetrated his back and protruded out, her entire right forearm buried in his body.
