Being nearby like this with Christ's spirit made Liza's nape hair tingle. Her stockpile was shaking violently because of Liza's fear that took over her entire body. Especially when her gazes met with Christ, there was a strange tingle that made Liza's stomach tingle that words couldn't describe.
"Say the truth!!" Christ snapped, annoyed at not getting an answer.
A little trepidation, but Liza tried to muster up the courage to speak.
"Really, I'm only human. I accidentally pulled the monster here. No matter how long you force me to be honest, I also can't answer how I got this power. I'm also still trying to find out."
Christ's eyelids were still squinted. Looking for a speck of lie on Liza's face. But seeing Liza's confused expression, Christ knew that Liza wasn't lying.
"If you really don't know anything... you shouldn't be acting stupid like that! Opening the magical carriage anywhere, you can attract a wild Jin who happens to be where you opened the portal!"
Liza just found out that one fact. At first, she thought that opening the gate could only summon spirits. That's not the case.
Then the question now ... Was Liza just by chance able to attract Raul's spirit from the astral dimension? And how can Liza summon the spirit she wants to meet again?
Amid her daydreams, Liza suddenly realized something was dazzling her eyes. Suddenly a pair of Liza's dark purple pupils slid down. There was a golden light crystal on the chest of the man in front of him.
Like humans in general, it turns out that Christ also has a magical light crystal on his chest. Even though Christ's form is a spirit, it turns out that Liza can also see the light crystal. The color of the crystal is the same as Liza's, golden yellow. However, it tends to be silvery white.
But if she looks at the shape of the crystal ... It's like there's something strange...
To make sure her eyesight isn't wrong, Liza blinks her eyelids again three times so that her sight power is active again for three minutes.
At a glance, Liza still sees it as a normal light crystal. But what makes Liza feel strange is… There is no crystal pattern indentation at all in Christ's light crystal.
The surface of the light crystal of each human will usually always be decorated with distinctive indented patterns. And that would normally be obvious to Liza's vision. But it was not found in Christ's crystal of light.
'Strange. The surface of this man's crystal was very blurry, like a broken image that had a low resolution. I can't read the crystal pattern at all. How could it be like that? Is there really a human like this?' Liza thought with a question.
Actually, Liza wanted to ask Christ about it. Seeing that Christ can cast spells and perform astral projection like this, Liza's guess immediately said that the man was also not an ordinary human.
"Damn it!"
Christ suddenly cursed before Liza could ask her question. Seen the man was observing the red chains on his feet that began to fade.
"You'd better hurry back! Otherwise, your spirit is completely detached from your body and you can't return--"
"Cough cough! Hoeeekkk!"
How surprised Liza was when she saw that man's spirit suddenly coughing and bleeding from his mouth. What about this?
"Gosh!! What happened to you??" Liza panicked with teary eyes.
Christ shook his head vigorously as he wiped the traces of blood on his lips.
'Fuck! Is this the punishment of the Devilaro King because I was desperate to meet this girl again? How did he know I was here? Even though I've put a barrier in my body!' Christ thought in his heart.
It was Devilaro, the King of the strongest Demon clan in European lands. The king who until now had never met Christ face to face for some reason. And the King who has a position above the King of Jin, Leon.
Some time ago, King Leon had indeed summoned Christ to his Palace in the astral dimension. Christ fulfilled his call and came in spirit form.
What Christ thought was the need, it turned out that King Leon asked Christ to focus on continuing to take human soul energy as usual. Christ knew if he asked like that on the orders of King Devilaro.
Somehow the two leaders forbade Christ to chase Liza. Even though Christ said confidently that Liza was a girl who had great soul energy that would fill her up. But unfortunately, the two leaders still did not allow Christ to hunt the energy of one human for any reason.
But of course, the more Christ is opposed, the more curious he becomes. And regardless of the prohibition, Christ was willing to oppose the order and was silent. For the sake of satiety, Christ is still desperate to follow Liza. Even today.
But what happened now, King Devilaro instead sent him punishment in the form of a 'magic attack' that attacked his soul spirit.
"I--I have to go..."
"Wait!"
Christ turned his head, and this time his body lowered further because he felt the pain in his stomach. "What?"
"Where is your body? It must not be far from here, right?"
If Liza didn't guess wrong, a person's spirit wouldn't be able to travel far from the body. Based on Liza's experience when she accidentally did astral projection yesterday, Liza concluded that the farther and longer the spirit left her body, the more the linking chain would fade.
"So what? That's not your business!" asked Christ fiercely.
Liza took a deep breath. "I owe you a favor for helping me. So I'll help you--"
"Just leave me alone and no need to care!" snapped Christ.
Before Liza refuted Christ's shout, the man's spirit was suddenly pulled out quickly, as if something was being pulled. And the spirit was seen heading toward one of the units in the apartment building opposite.
Then without any more words, Liza immediately looked for the magic book that had been thrown by the monster earlier. What turned out to be the book was lying on the floor outside the terrace. Luckily it didn't fall.
Liza hastily flipped through the book and found a move and spell magic to awaken the heart chakra. Then delimit that page with a bookmark. Only then did Liza rush to change clothes to go to the apartment building opposite. Visited the apartment unit where Christ was.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Miss?"
Liza was greeted warmly by a blonde man who had been with Christ in Innsbruck yesterday. That's Jeremy.
"I want to see--"
BRAK!
The thumping sound of the apartment door being opened roughly suddenly startled Liza and Jeremy. And Christ was standing with his face grimacing in pain. But his eyes kept glancing sharply at Liza.
"You ..." Christ says with an angry face. "I said don't meddle in my business!"
Jeremy who saw his master in pain immediately panicked. "Mr. Christ? What happened to you?"
"How are you? I came here to--"
Without warning, Christ immediately pulled Liza into his unit. Leaving Jeremy frozen in confusion.
"Don't talk about magic if Jeremy is around. He's just an ordinary human who doesn't know anything," Christ warned as he pulled Liza to sit on the guest sofa.
Liza nodded faintly. "Then... how are you?"
"Cough! Cough!" Christ coughed again. But this time it didn't bleed. "Ugh... As you can see," he said hoarsely.
Christ then sat down next to Liza because he couldn't stand up anymore. The man's breath was panting, while the valves of his eyes closed tightly. He looked very sick with his hand holding his stomach.
"I'll try to help you."
Christ confused. "Ha-Hah? How do you--"
"Shut up. I'll try."
Liza tries to focus on learning and memorizing every move and spell magic in her magic book. Slowly practice with reverence so that the heart chakra is really active and perfectly awakened.
"Vyzdorovleniye ..."
As the movements and spells were uttered, the crystal of light on Liza's chest immediately shone brighter.
And when Liza began to close her eyes, she also felt the flow of energy flowing from nature, the energy of plants that penetrated within Liza. Then the energy slowly spreads until it reaches Liza's palm which is now touching Christ's stomach. Liza also prayed in her heart that this effort would be a success.
'Green for healing.'
That was a short sentence that Liza had read in the magic book.
Maybe if it's concluded like this: 'To be able to get healing abilities, then Liza must activate the heart chakra to be able to absorb energy from nature and plants that are identical to green.'
In a way, Liza already quite understands the point.
And a few minutes after the process took place, Liza suddenly felt an energy urge from Christ's stomach, which turned out to be from the evil energy that Liza managed to release. The energy came out and melted away like dust. Thankfully, it was a sign that Liza's first attempt was successful.
Evidently, the pain in Christ's stomach gradually disappeared. Opening his eyelids, he found Liza who was looking at him worriedly.
"Are you feeling better? Thank goodness!" Liza said happily.
Christ only replied with a faint nod.
For a few moments, they were silent. Explore each other's thoughts. Calm themselves from all the magical incidents they've just been through.
Until Liza saw that Christ had calmed down enough, she asked the opening question.
"Tell me the truth ... Actually what happened? Who sent the evil magic to you?"
