Castor took a deep breath, his lungs working normally while the frozen world remained still, and felt something settle in his chest.
'Whatever his goals may be... Whatever grand design this serves... The beggar already made it clear to us about our debts when he saved our lives...'
BOOM
Suddenly his life force began burning, simply ignited on its own, pulled from his body by forces he couldn't resist, fueling the Domain that was destroying his body from the inside.
His hair began turning white in patches, the color bleaching out as his life force converted to fuel.
Castor smiled with a helpless and bitter expression that carried years of understanding arriving too late.
"Beggar... you're leaving me no choice, huh?"
The words came out as a whisper in the frozen world.
