The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

The seal was so tough that even Frank could not make it budge easily.

Still, he concluded after probing it that it was a protective seal that did not hurt the body. The only issue was that it prevented a person from charging their vigor—in fact, any form of vigor that showed up in the body would activate the seal, which would in turn be dispelled.

And if the seal proved unstable, it would consume the host in a split second, making it a severe risk.

Could Kat's birth involve some major players who were at least peak Ascendant rank?
