"Lord Earl, don't be too anxious; maybe Lady Aurora and the others will arrive soon!"
Watching Earl Vidal pace back and forth in his daughter's room with an uneasy expression, Bastian comforted him by looking out the door from time to time.
Earl Vidal sighed heavily and sat down on the chair.
The holy water and light attribute magic stones that needed to be prepared have been arranged properly, but after half a day, there was still no news. How could he not be impatient?
When he saw his precious daughter's complexion getting worse and worse, he couldn't control his anxious heart.
"Lady Aurora, you must come back quickly! My daughter's life depends entirely on you..." Earl Vidal held his daughter's hand and closed his eyes in prayer.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally, when Earl Vidal couldn't wait anymore, a servant rushed in quickly.
"Eun... Lord Earl... they are back!"
"What!"
Earl Vidal stood abruptly and walked outside with an excited expression. Just as he stepped out of the room, he happened to see Aurora and her companion rushing toward him.
"Count Vidal, it's a good luck! We're here to rescue Miss Vidal!" Aurora waved to Count Vidal, her words completely knocked the stone out of her heart.
Earl Vidal hurriedly led the three of them into the room and glanced suspiciously at Flamme, who was following Aurora.
Who was this girl? Why did she have horns on her head? There seemed to be no race with such characteristics in the records.
He didn't show it on the surface, but he had secretly raised the vigilance in his heart.
Seeing Earl Vidal's change of expression, Aurora hurriedly said, "Earl Vidal, let me introduce her. Her name is Flamme, and she is also a member of my mercenary group. If it weren't for her help this time, maybe we wouldn't have gone so well."
Aurora turned to him and introduced Flamme, knowing that nobles were still very wary of strangers, so it was more appropriate to introduce her first.
Sure enough, after the introduction, especially after knowing that she was helping to rescue his daughter, Earl Vidal's expression eased a lot.
When she came to the room and saw more than ten pieces of light-attribute magic stones and... a large bowl of holy water on the table, the corners of Aurora's mouth couldn't help twitching.
How rich were you really? This was holy water! Something that even she had to pay a considerable sum of money to obtain, even for a bottle in the game.
"Lady Aurora? Are these not enough?" Earl Vidal saw that Aurora looked at the magic stone and holy water on the table with a strange expression, and thought that there might not be enough prepared, "Well, I will find a way to get more. Please Lady Aurora, find a way to extend my daughter's life first!"
"No, no, no! It's enough!"
Aurora hurriedly waved her hand, thinking that a small bottle would be enough, but she didn't expect that the Earl would directly get so much...
"Earl Vidal, step back a little bit, wait a minute, and don't move around no matter what happens!" Aurora walked to Lady Vidal's side, pulled out one of her beautiful hairs, wrapped it around her finger, and returned to the table.
[Construct the magic circle of light imprisonment]
[Ding! The required light attribute magic stone has been detected, and the link is placed according to the prescribed arrangement]
A light blue hexagram appeared in Aurora's right eye, and a golden light appeared on his fingertips under the prompt of the system. A small magic circle was drawn on the table, and the other hand put down the magic stone on each node according to the rule.
[Constructing Holy Light Sanctuary's magic circle]
Aurora did not stop there, but instead drew another magic circle outside the magic circle, tightly wrapping it around the front magic circle.
Claudia, who was standing in the distance watching Aurora construct the magic circle, had a light of admiration in her eyes.
Leader is really amazing! She can actually use a spell that only senior priests could master!
Earl Vidal's face showed surprise. He had dealt with the clergy a lot. Despite the fact that he had no idea what kind of magic circle she was drawing, he could sense that the magic power fluctuations released by the spell were much stronger than those of the priests.
I can only be friends with this girl and not enemies, Earl Vidal secretly vowed in his heart.
"It's done; the next step is..."
Aurora walked to the center of the magic circle and opened the inventory with lightning speed, took out the goddess' smile, and fixed it at the center of the magic circle.
Then she picked up the bowl of holy water and poured it slowly on top of the goddess' smile.
As soon as the holy water landed on the idol, a puff of black smoke came out from the contact surface between the two. Aurora didn't stop, and she continued to pour it down.
The black gas from the idol became thicker and thicker, and suddenly a piercing scream came from inside the statue.
The sudden cry shocked Earl Vidal, Bastian, and Claudia, who were watching from a distance, and what happened in the next second made their eyes wide open.
The screaming black smoke rolled and condensed into a phantom in the magic circle, and it seemed that the face of the phantom could be vaguely seen.
"It's her!"
Claudia's pupils shrank suddenly. Isn't this phantom the woman in the black robe?!
A phantom of the black-robed woman seemed to cling tightly to another vague soul after it was condensed into shape as if wishing to consume it whole.
"Ah! My Eve!" Earl Vidal shouted involuntarily when he saw the blurred face below, and then he lost control of his body and wanted to run over.
"Master said not to approach!" Flamme pulled him back instantly.
"That's my Eve! Let me go!"
"Earl Vidal, don't come here! I don't want Miss Vidal to lose her life because of your recklessness!"
Aurora yelled and poured cold water on Earl Vidal's hot head. He looked at his daughter and clenched his fists tightly, and even his nails were embedded in his flesh.
"This soul is a phantom formed by the condensed vitality of Miss Vidal, don't worry, just leave it to me!"
"You want to ruin me again!"
The phantom of the black-robed woman stared daggers at Aurora with a gaze full of resentment and malice. If her eyes could kill, she might have been turned into ash instantly.
"Damn old woman, why don't you die well? I advise you to honestly let go of Miss Vidal, or don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Give me a chance? I'd like to see what will happen if you don't give me a chance."
The black-robed woman held Eve with a wicked smile on her face. With her in hand, she would not believe that this kid dared to do anything.
"Oh, I guessed that you, a dead old woman, would behave like this, so... I have prepared a little surprise for you."
Aurora snapped her fingers, and countless golden lights emerged from the magic circle under her feet to form a circle, and suddenly countless sword-shaped lights surrounded the black-robed woman.
"What the hell is this!" The black-robed woman couldn't help being horrified when she felt the sacred aura, "I warn you! If you dare to strike, this girl will not escape!"
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already used Miss Vidal's hair as a medium when I was drawing the magic circle. This magic circle naturally carries her breath, so it will not cause any harm to her."
The smile on Aurora's face at this moment was more terrifying than a demon in the eyes of the black-robed woman.
When Aurora dropped her hand, the swords of light came crashing down on the black-robed woman and pierced her body fiercely at an extremely fast speed.
[Holy Light Sanctuary]
The hysterical screams of the woman in black echoed in the room, and every time these swords stabbed her, it would bring pain deep into her soul.
She twisted her body wildly, trying to escape from here, but no matter where she fled, she would hit an invisible wall.
[Light Imprisonment]
As long as it was there, the black-robed woman wouldn't be able to escape in this life; her soul, full of dark elements, would be imprisoned under this light barrier forever.
With the rain-like attacks of Holy Light Sanctuary, the screams of the black-robed woman became weaker and weaker. Under the continuous attacks, Eve's soul gradually escaped from her control.
"Now!"
With a pull of Aurora's right hand, Eve's soul was pulled out of the magic circle as if it had a suction force. Once out of the magic circle, her soul turned into a ball of light and landed in her hand.
Holding the ball of light, Aurora quickly walked towards Eve, who was lying on the bed, gently opened her mouth, and slowly moved the ball of light toward her.
When it was close to the corner of her mouth, the ball of light flowed into her mouth like flowing water. After the light ball disappeared completely, she took out a magic stone with the light attribute and put it on her chest.
"Done." Aurora breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this and turned to look at the dying woman in a black robe in the magic circle. "Then it's your turn."
"No! Don't come here! Stay away from me!"
At this moment, the black-robed woman was no longer as calm as before. She supported her body weakly and tried to stay away from Aurora as much as possible until her back touched the barrier. When there was no way to retreat, she looked at her in horror and roared with a hoarse voice.
"Didn't you act arrogant just now, damn old hag? Had you just listened to me and let go of Miss Vidal earlier, it might not have ended like this. Why did you have to challenge my patience?"
Aurora removed the holy light sanction magic circle and stood in front of her with a look of contempt.
Now the phantom of the black-robed woman was almost transparent. If she endured a few punishments from the holy light, she would probably "ascend to heaven" directly, but she didn't want to waste this soul in vain.
"I advise you to let me go. As long as you let me go now, I won't blame you for the things you have done! Otherwise, you can just wait for my brothers and sisters to hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Aurora came over to a chair and sat in front of her, saying indifferently, "Just a beaten dog barking. Although I don't know who your so-called brothers and sisters are, they must be as bad as you."
"I'm not afraid of them coming, as long as they dare to come, one come, I'll slay one; ten come, I'll slaughter them all, and I will let them accompany you."
She took out a ring from her pocket and held it in her hand. When the woman in the black robe saw the ring, she jumped up and slammed into the barrier in a desperate attempt to escape.
"No! Don't! Let me out!"
The shrill cry made Earl Vidal and the others break out in cold sweats. What did Aurora come up with that would scare her so much that she even hit the barrier desperately?
The ring in Aurora's hand was exactly the ghost ring that Claudia had taken from the black-robed woman before.
Originally, she captured and imprisoned a lot of undead through this ring and combined it with a secret method to improve the dark magic, but she didn't expect that now she would personally experience the feeling of being imprisoned.
Aurora held the ring out to the black-robed woman. A coquettish purple light shone from the gemstones on the ring, and the black-robed woman, who was still trying to break through the barrier, suddenly felt a huge suction pulling her body inside.
"No! No! Ahhh! You will regret it! They won't let you go!"
As the woman in the black robe screamed in despair, her whole body was sucked into the ring.
After sucking the phantom of the woman in the black robe, the gem on the ring gradually changed from purple to red.
[Ghost ring (charged)]
Nailed it!
Aurora put the ring in her finger and wiped away the magic circle on the ground.
"Lady Aurora, is my daughter okay now!?" Earl Vidal felt Flamme move away from his hand and rushed forward to ask.
"Earl Vidal, please don't worry, it's all right now, and Miss Vidal will probably wake up in a while." Aurora glanced at the tightly drawn curtains.
"But before that, Earl Vidal, you'd better draw the curtains and open the windows for some ventilation, so that Miss Vidal will feel much more comfortable when she wakes up."
"Okay, okay, do as Lady Aurora said!"
With an order, the others got busy, and Aurora and her companion were invited to the restaurant for dinner, which was personally entertained by Earl Vidal.
Not long after enjoying the specially prepared food, Bastian rushed in. "My lord! Miss! Miss, she's awake!"
