For evil Dark Wizards, parents, relatives, and friends were never things they needed to cherish.
They were just a tool for them to complete more evil magic, one of the most important magic materials, very effective and cruel.
Think about it, what material could be more evil than using the blood, bones, and soul of one's own parents and brothers?!
For example, Lord Voldemort's father, Old Tom Riddle. Lord Voldemort only needed his bones for resurrection.
As a servant of the devil, Ariana regarded the lives and souls of others as sacrifices needed by the devil to descend. She even offered her own soul to the souls. She had completely lost her mind. To be more precise, she had lost her humanity.
She could no longer be counted as a human, but a devil from hell.
Iven heaved a sigh. How terrifying would a powerful spell be if there was no limit to it?
This incident was just a microcosm of Europe during the Dark Magic Era hundreds of years ago. In that era, blood and crime were happening all the time …
The truth of the matter was far more shocking than what he read or heard in books.
"I knew I couldn't escape. She wouldn't let me go. I was cursed by that devil! " Shuklia continued. His faint voice could evoke the fear in the depths of a person's heart. "But I couldn't let her complete that ritual. I had to stop her. Otherwise, even my soul wouldn't be able to find peace after I died. So, before she came to kill me, I used my own life as the price and turned all the souls in the castle into owls. "
If she wasn't lying, this was the reason for the birth of Owl Fortress.
But Elwyn didn't believe that what she said was the whole truth. It might just be a part of it!
Like Ariana, Shuklia embellished his sins with noble reasons.
"Is this the whole content of the curse?"
"This isn't a curse, but a kind of protection. I protected these souls and protected them from being devoured by the devil," Shuklia said excitedly. Then, he calmed down in an instant. "Of course, I don't deny that this is also a kind of protection for myself. I hid among these souls so that the devil couldn't find me."
"How did you do it?" Elwyn asked, looking at Shuklia who floated in the air like smoke. "These souls were all members of this castle when they were alive. They should listen to Ariana's orders, right?"
No wonder the ghost said that it couldn't violate the oath it made and couldn't reveal anything about that person. It should be referring to the oath of allegiance to Ariana. This kind of magic used by the ancient pureblood Sorcerer family on their servants was still effective even after they died for hundreds of years.
Speaking of which, ghosts like it were the truly pitiful ones.
They were innocently involved in this conspiracy and could not rest in peace. Until now, they still thought that the mistress had killed them, but they had no choice but to obey her orders.
"After turning into owls, they no longer have any intelligence. Naturally, they can't hear the demon's orders, and she can't find me among the thousands of owls." "But as long as they turned into human, the spell would work again, and she would order them again, like what you saw just now …"
"Hmm, how did she order them? I didn't see her there at the time!"
"Except for this place, the whole castle is under her surveillance. After hundreds of years of fighting, we know each other better than ourselves. I know that she got a mirror from the demon, and now it has become her main body. She can show everything inside and around the castle, "Shuklia said.
"You mean, she can see us?!" Elwyn froze for a moment, and then immediately thought. "Then does she know that I'm here, and knows the location of this totem?"
"Yes, but that's not important!" Shuklia said. "She already knew about this place, but just couldn't get in. But it was only a matter of time. A long time ago, my power began to decline. For hundreds of years, those stupid adventurers who kept breaking in destroyed the magic I left in the castle. I can't suppress her anymore. She's getting stronger and stronger, and can even leave the mirror and contact her descendants or other greedy Wizards, luring them to fall. "
Speaking of this, Elwyn thought of the owl people, that terrible humanoid monster.
"She taught the forbidden demon power to those greedy Wizards, making them believe that they would become stronger. But that's only a part of it. In the end, they all became a mixture of low-level demons and humans, like the owl people you mentioned. " Shuklia looked at Elwyn and hesitated for a moment. "I don't want to lie to you. I hope to get your help. I can feel that although you're young, you're very smart, different from those Wizards. I can tell you that when she seduced the wizards who entered the castle to fall, I also used the power of nature to speak to them, hinting to them that they were using the wrong magic, causing them to lose their minds after becoming demons, unable to serve her, turning them into pure monsters, or even dying directly … "
It was indeed sinister. These adventurers who thought they had everything and became stronger were just playthings in the hands of two women. But to be honest, Elwyn didn't feel surprised anymore. From what Shuklia had done before, it could be seen that it would be strange if she didn't do this.
No wonder Ariana would ask him for help. Elwyn was probably her new prey.
If Iven hadn't done anything, he would've done as Shuklia said and sprinkled his blood and the contents of the bottle on the totem. Terror would've been dead by now. Shuklia wouldn't have let him go.
"Well, since you've told me everything, what do you want me to do?" Elwyn said.
"Save me from this nightmare, stop that demon, and destroy that mirror. Otherwise, when she recovers her power and successfully summons the real demon, everyone will die. No one can escape. That's a terrible power beyond imagination." Shuklia said.
