The two strands of silk string, originally used to bind Teiza and Ronie, were
now being used to stop the flow of blood from Humbert's left arm. Both of
those strings must be used if the blood from Raios's two arms were to be
stopped. However, with the wound itself yet to be healed, blood would flow
again if the strings were untied from Humbert and his Life would begin to
drop once more. Reducing another's Life without a justifiable reason or
agreement—that was a clear violation of the Taboo Index.
"But... my blood's... Humbert, you... taboo... however... my Life......"
Raios recited incoherent words in a hysterical voice. His line of sight
restlessly switched from the blood still flowing from his own wounds and
the silk strings wrapped around Humbert's wound.
Raios Antinous, the successor to a third class noble family, was now forced
into a situation where he had to choose between «his own life» and «the
Taboo Index». To the gigantic mass of pride that he was, his own life must
be countless times more important. However, at the same time, he could
not go against the absolute law, the Taboo Index. If he were to do that, he
would become a heinous criminal, just like Eugeo who he himself tried to
decapitate.
"Aaaah... taboo... life... bloodd... tabooooo......"
The one who approached Raios, still continuing his screams, was Kirito.
