Chapter 516 – Yours
"The jugular veins?" Noah echoed, his eyes widening slightly at the unexpected answer.
He had anticipated many other responses. Even that Luminara would choose to be made from his heart, particular bones, or even something far more intimate.

They were central to the simplest definition of life. For if they were destroyed, death would follow in the swiftest way possible.

His source of life and death.
Of course, Noah wouldn't die even if his entire body were destroyed, let alone his jugular veins. Not that easily.
