While Levi was left in a trance at the heartbreaking news, Arthur and the rest stood in stunned disbelief... they stared at Dominic in silence for a few moments before Arthur finally spoke, his tone filled with confusion.
"What… what do you mean? We were told that he still has months to live... we even found treasures rich with life force for him. How can he just pass away?"
Jojo's lips parted, but no sound came out... Shia shook her head slightly while Nurah looked down, her fists clenched.
Levi just stared at Dominic, waiting for him to say something that made sense... he had his own assumption on the matter, but he didn't want to accept it until Dominic confirmed it.
Dominic did as he was told.
"The Hound has succeeded in winning the spiritual trial imposed by Seraphis," Dominic took a breath. "It has devoured the knowledge of his seed..."
He paused, looking at each of them.
"That means… it has withered beyond redemption. He is gone."
