The mage's smile widened upon realizing that the woman was actually willing to sacrifice her life. He didn't waste any time in striking the deal, "I'm willing to go through the Blood oath to the elemental spirits."

"Not a Blood oath, but do a soul oath, Vexiron," replied the Elven High Priestess, not intending to trust him.

There are three types of oaths one can do to the heavens. 

One is the oath of cultivation with the heavens as the witness. Breaking such an oath will incur a lightning strike from the heavens, but it can be avoided when one enters the demigod realm.

Second is the oath of blood to the elemental spirits. Breaking this oath will incur the wrath from the elements of nature such as fire, water, lightning, earth, and wind. The forces of nature keep on trying to kill the oath breaker, but in this process, it can destroy the world too.
