The process of arranging the 'Soul-Devouring Blood Array of Time' actually didn't take long, merely a few breaths.
But, within these few breaths, whether for Lanni Barnes or for Dugulen himself, it felt extremely long.
Lanni Barnes felt it was long because seeing Dugulen go to such lengths for him filled his heart with deep suffering.
Dugulen felt it was long because the soul-devouring pain, like having his soul gnawed by thousands of ants, was excruciating and nearly caused him to collapse multiple times. He managed to persist only by relying on his strong willpower.
During this process, he felt worse than death, every day felt like a year.
And after the agonizing ordeal of feeling worse than death came to an end, Dugulen, whose life aura had completely dwindled, successfully arranged the 'Soul-Devouring Blood Array of Time'.
"Open!!"
