A strange scene soon unfolded in the underground room.
Thin lines of blood emerged from the point where her body had been separated and shot to the side, extending toward her other body part.
These lines twisted eerily and drilled into the open wound, before they began tightening, slowly sewing the two parts together.
As the essence of the Priest flowed through the pulsing crimson veins and poured into her body, the rate at which the separated parts were sewn together rapidly increased.
Finally, with a faint clink, Liora's lower body reattached to the upper half, becoming whole again.
But as a price, the Priest had turned into a lifeless, ravaged skeleton.
Even his own soul had been taken away at some unknown time, becoming nourishment for Liora.
Staring at this bloody scene and feeling herself become whole again, Liora breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her gamble had indeed paid off.
