Chapter 276: The Ritual
"What did you say?" Adrian asked, turning around to face Seraphina. "You can save her?"
"Yes-" Seraphina mumbled, only to be yelled at by Adrian.
"Don’t make me laugh!" Adrain yelled, ready to pounce at her. "Are you blind? Did you not see the condition she was in? A’MILA IS DEAD! NO MAGIC OR ABILITY CAN CHANGE THAT!"
"...you died once, too, remember?" Seraphina mumbled softly so that only Adrian could hear her.
Adrian was suddenly taken aback. He died once. That much was true, but was Seraphina suggesting they turn A’Mila into a chimaera as well? Would she even want that? Was it right to disturb the dead for selfish reasons?
Such questions flood his mind. But more than that, he was worried about the complications. The one who resurrected Adrian and turned him into a chimaera was Victor, a man who had researched about it for decades before creating the first chimaera.
Where could they possibly find someone like him on Earth? Even if they had managed to locate such a person, they couldn’t possibly possess the experience and talent that Victor had taken decades to acquire.
"No, I’m not talking about turning her into a chimaera," Seraphina interrupted, grabbing Adrian’s hand and walking back to A’Mila. "Let’s take her home first. Then we can discuss the next steps without prying eyes."
As enraged as Adrian was, he calmed down following his conversation with Seraphina. Although he wasn’t sure what she wanted to do, since she had never lied to him before, he decided to trust her and leave.
"Sir, are we going to let them walk away with the corpse-" an officer asked Rick, who shook his head.
"There’s nothing we can do," he replied. "All units focus on cleaning up and transporting the prisoners. We can deal with the rest later."
