A familiar call came from my ears, and my body was shaken gently.
An Ruosi's consciousness quickly returned from the silent darkness.
He opened his eyes suddenly, with a little fear still remaining in his eyes.
But just after An Ruosi saw the world in front of her clearly, she suddenly froze.
"...Ester? You're not..."
"What?"
Esther looked confused.
"...No, it's nothing."
An Ruosi suddenly thought of a possibility and swallowed the words stuck in her throat.
Maybe what I saw before was just a dream?
When this idea came to An Ruosi's mind, his impression of the tremendous horror he had just witnessed quickly faded away.
Ah, it really is a dream.
After making sure that he was safe, An Ruosi was overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
...Probably because the magic power was suddenly exhausted.
An Ruosi felt the empty magic power in her blood and slightly relaxed her frown.
But I had exhausted my magic power before... I didn't feel so uncomfortable at that time.
An Ruosi ignored the sudden doubts in her heart. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
After her heartbeat returned to normal, An Ruosi felt a sudden throbbing pain in her heart.
Unconsciously, he pressed his chest tightly with both hands. The pain made him curl up into a ball.
"What's wrong with you? An Ruosi?"
Esther's face became serious. He held An Ruosi's shoulders and asked An Ruosi to sit up.
But An Ruosi just held her chest tightly and shook her head gently to prevent it from affecting her chest. He could only make a very slight sound: "No, not...hiss..."
An Ruosi couldn't help but take a breath. His right hand suddenly moved from his chest to his forehead, and he gripped his hair tightly.
He has taken into account possible situations that may arise as much as possible.
But it still didn't work - just by shaking her head, An Ruosi felt as if there was something foreign moving in her head.
At the same time, a nauseating feeling came from my stomach.
The illusion that some kind of foreign object is sealed in the brain.
The illusion that the intestines are being stirred randomly.
The illusion of being stabbed in the heart with a sharp cone.
An Ruosi had never felt that his condition would be so bad. Even if he died suddenly the next moment, he would not be confused at all.
——It feels as if you are already half dead but have been dragged back by life.
...But, if the magic power is simply overdrawn, will it be so painful?
He just had this thought in his mind, and before he could remember it, Esther's apologetic voice quietly came from his ears: "Um... An Ruosi? Are you okay? Is your heart okay?"
"...What's wrong with me? Hiss..."
Just as An Ruosi was about to raise his head, there was a crashing sound in his head. He couldn't help but let out a suppressed cry of pain.
"It's all my fault. I brought you here but didn't calculate your position." Esther sighed guiltily. "As a result, you appeared directly in the "Nightmare of Evil" and "Exhaustion".
On the edge of the trap..."
Ha...this is so unlucky.
Unprepared, I encountered two six-ring witchcraft...
So, you can be considered lucky if you didn't die?
An Ruosi couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this.
"Drink it."
At this moment, a very cold voice came from behind him.
……woman?
A sudden curiosity arose in An Ruosi's mind.
An Ruosi didn't dare to look back because she was afraid that she would be in severe pain again if she turned her head.
As if he understood what he was thinking, the man behind him thoughtfully handed over a metal bottle in his hand.
The metal bottle looked like a slender copper-yellow metal cylinder. It was about a palm long and less than three fingers in diameter. It was covered with runes.
It looks very much like ancient Elkat.
...What could be in here?
An Ruosi took the cylinder and showed a puzzled look.
Esther took it over with ease. He held the two ends of the cylinder with both hands and gently rotated it. A smaller cylinder suddenly stretched out from one side. There was also a delicate crystal cover on it.
Esther directly took off the upper cover and pointed it at An Ruosi: "Come on. Open your mouth."
Out of absolute trust in Esther, An Ruosi opened her mouth directly.
With the injection of a certain liquid, An Ruosi clearly felt that his spirit improved rapidly.
New magic power was generated quickly. The twitching intestines were soothed, the severe pain in the heart disappeared, and even the foreign body sensation in the forehead was quickly resolved. Finally, it disappeared without a trace.
...This feeling is just like Mr. Roland's harmless chant.
Inexplicably, such thoughts came to An Ruosi's mind.
"Thanks, Esther."
An Ruosi shook her head, getting rid of the last trace of discomfort, and showed a grateful look at Esther: "I owe you one more time."
"fine……"
Esther pushed up his glasses. Before he could finish his words, a cold voice with a touch of sarcasm interrupted him: "He has been like this before. I advise you not to believe him, otherwise you will be killed sooner or later.
He lied to death and left his body intact."
"What did you say, Eluka..."
Esther showed a helpless look.
Seeing Esther's rare smile, An Ruosi became extremely curious about the person behind her.
Without the constraints of her headache, An Ruosi turned her head without hesitation this time.
But the moment she saw the person behind her clearly, An Ruosi's eyes widened.
What caught his eye was a beautiful black-haired girl.
But An Ruosi was not amazed by her beauty - the reason why he showed such a surprised look was because except for the different color and length of her hair, everything else about the girl in front of her was different from Anvilia.
Any difference.
"oh?"
As if she understood what An Ruosi was marveling at, the girl behind her sneered mockingly.
"It seems like you, little guy, have actually seen Anvilia?"
"Yes... I just came from Ms. Anvilia."
An Ruosi admitted it without any covering up.
"This is a friend of mine, you can call her Elucard," Esther said softly from behind An Ruosi, "I originally wanted to call you over to see if you can use what I taught you...
…witchcraft, breaking a lock she made.”
"Because the witchcraft I taught you was something I learned from others. I am neither an inventor nor a reformer, nor am I skilled in it. If I had done it myself, I would definitely not be able to do it."
Esther showed An Ruosi a bitter smile mixed with expectation: "If you can do it, it means that I didn't teach the wrong person at the beginning - at least in this witchcraft, you have surpassed me."
"...But, looking at your current state, I think it's better to forget it."
"No, please let me try."
An Ruosi shook her body and stood up.
His eyes were full of determination.
"Please let me try," he repeated, "I have almost recovered now. I think there should be no problem -"
"...That's it."
Esther showed a happy expression.
The black-haired girl known as Elucard showed an unabashedly mocking smile. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
