Khronos and I shook hands with a rather firm grip.
At that moment, black roots emerged from Khronos' hand. However, he wasn't the only one experiencing this phenomenon.
A violent, black-tinged vine sprouted from my hand.
It was a 'Mana Bond' that formed the contract.
The black roots simply wrapped around my wrist, but the vines from my hand extended toward Khronos' neck and heart.
I suppose it's because of the contract's clause.
Since Khronos is the subordinate, he will die if he betrays me or lies to me.
Although it is a contract, this bond between the two of us was formed from our mana.
As Khronos mentioned before, my mana can kill him definitively. Since the contract was forged with both of our mana, he would die permanently if he broke it.
