The black shadow was extremely fast, and seemed to have merged with the shadows. It was blurry and distorted, as if it was floating in the air, weightless.
He rushed towards the black-robed man. Osiris was entangled by Sakura's black cherry blossom rain. He did not expect anyone to attack his companion!
All these signs led Li Xiang to conclude that the black-robed man was not a player. He might not even be a magic user!
The First Lady seemed to be toying with the humanoid monster that had walked out of the dark door. She did not give the order to release the trapped Shadow, obviously thinking that she could deal with the two evil followers.
When Li Xiang sprinted out, she smiled faintly. Her gaze quietly shifted upwards, as if she was waiting for a good show.
Sakura, who had lost control, turned from a cute and innocent little witch into a violent and bloodthirsty witch. She kept Osiris occupied, preventing him from taking care of the other black-robed man. This also gave Li Xiang the best opportunity.
Boom!
The muzzle of the Blood Breed's gun spat out a huge ball of light. Even a Level-3 Magician would not be able to survive if they were hit at close range.
The brute force sent the black-robed man flying. A pale yellow magic scroll was thrown out. A yellow light flashed, and a thick earth shield offset a large part of the impact.
He did not stop. He kept throwing out magic scrolls of various colors, as if these precious one-time use items were not expensive.
Magic scrolls that could take effect immediately must be handmade by a Magician. The price was so high that even the children of aristocratic families could not afford one or two of them!
In his black robe, these magic scrolls seemed to be inexhaustible. They were thrown out like jelly beans.
Icicle Spell, Hunting Gun Spell, Wind's Breath Spell …
Li Xiang knew more than ten types of magic. He quickly pulled the distance between the two of them and set up many obstacles for him.
The hunter slashed at the hard rock, creating a few dazzling sparks.
During the battle, the black-robed man's hood lifted slightly. Although it was pressed back down, it still revealed half of his handsome face. The corners of his mouth were deeply curved and his eagle-like eyes were chilling. The cruelty hidden deep in his soul was transmitted to Li Xiang through this half-revealed face.
"Hmph." The black-robed man didn't seem to want to talk too much in front of Li Xiang. He just snorted coldly and continued to retreat while holding the bloody holy grail and the transparent cube.
"I know that person! I must have seen him somewhere before! " Li Xiang's memory and perception were extremely powerful, and he rarely made mistakes. The fact that the two of them gave him a sense of familiarity meant that the two of them most likely knew each other.
From the voice to the appearance, everything sounded so familiar, but he couldn't remember it. This meant that they didn't have a deep relationship.
However, the other party clearly knew that he was acquainted with him and was very worried that his identity would be exposed. Therefore, he was very restrained, not revealing his appearance and not making a sound.
Li Xiang chased after him. The level of the magic in those magic scrolls was not high. They were all used to escape and could only stop him for a moment. The vampire daimyo cooperated with the pursuer to open up a path. Although he was only a level 1 magician, he gave the black-robed man the feeling of being chased by a level 3 magician.
Perception Enhancement and Purification of Filth. After activating these two auxiliary magic, Li Xiang could basically eliminate most of the interference. He secretly revealed the muzzle of the White Snake X hidden in his robe. This bullet gun was one of his trump cards.
Boom!
A sharp black light bombarded his arm, but the ripples on the Devil's Armguard flashed and absorbed more than half of the magic attack. The remaining aftershock was not enough to hurt him.
Every part of the Pandemonium set had the ability to defend against magic damage to a certain extent. It was a solid defensive equipment, but the effect was very limited. If it was a battle between magicians, it would probably only be able to reduce the power of magic by one-tenth. However, those magic scrolls could only activate the magic particles in the air at will, so the power was only half of the original. The Pandemonium set's ability to counteract magic damage was also higher before the magic scrolls.
The magic scrolls of the black-robed man were basically no threat to him.
Seeing the silver light under Li Xiang's robe, the man in the black robe seemed to know Li Xiang's tricks very well. His body suddenly shrank and threw out a few speed-type magic scrolls. At the moment when the bullets were fired, he narrowly dodged the fatal blow!
The shattering bullet triggered the shattering effect of the good luck bullet. That bullet looked ordinary, but when it hit the ground, it suddenly exploded and blasted a huge pit!
The average person didn't have the experience of resisting bullet guns and wouldn't be prepared for this. However, Li Xiang's bullet gun was powerful enough and enhanced by magic. It was a great killing weapon, but the black-robed man saw through it and narrowly escaped death.
This shot also made him understand that the other party was indeed just an ordinary person with a good physique.
However, he had predicted Li Xiang's attack in advance and dodged the shot with the help of the magic scroll's acceleration effect. It was clear that the other party knew him very well.
He didn't know him very well, but he knew him very well!
He was still an ordinary person.
The search range was greatly reduced.
The black-robed man gasped in a low voice. He seemed to be stunned by the shot just now. He had considered all kinds of situations and was even prepared to face the First Lady, but he never expected to be pursued by Li Xiang like this.
"Take off your hood and I won't kill you." Li Xiang waved the Tracker and slowly walked over. He stared at the black-robed man and said coldly, "Your magic scrolls will run out at a moment. Osiris is entangled. If this goes on, you will die in my hands."
"Oh." The black-robed man lowered his head and suddenly slowly raised the bloody holy grail and the transparent cube in his hand. "Li Xiang, let's die together."
"Huh?" Li Xiang saw his movements and had a bad feeling in his heart. However, he didn't know what he was going to do and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Kacha!
Without warning, the black-robed man suddenly crushed the transparent cube.
The remnant souls inside had not completely merged together. After the binding was removed, they all screamed and rushed out, trying to escape.
Some of the remnant souls were half-dissolved and didn't even have a human form. They looked terrible and howled, trying to escape. However, they were only halfway there when they were attracted back by the red smell emitted by the bloody holy grail!
Osiris, who was in the midst of the fierce battle, chanted a new magic spell and pressed the berserk Sakura to the ground. Seeing what his companion was doing, even he couldn't help but gasp. His eyes were cloudy and only the whites of his eyes rolled a few times.
A ghostly shadow slowly appeared behind the First Lady. Just like her, the ghostly shadow was covered in red curse seals and bite marks. The ghostly shadow screamed and was about to tear the humanoid monster into two halves, but it suddenly stopped. It roared and slowly moved toward the bloody holy grail uncontrollably.
"This smell …" The First Lady's expression finally changed slightly. She wanted to control the horrifying ghostly shadow but was unexpectedly repelled.
It was as if the bloody holy grail contained some delicious food and it would rather go against the will of its master to devour it.
"Woo woo woo —"
More and more remnant souls floated over. There were also ghost soldiers walking over mechanically. The bloody holy grail was like a glass of wine that attracted countless ghosts.
"It smells so good." Li Xiang felt that the cells in his body were trembling. This smell was the one that had been troubling him. It was the smell of disaster buried deep underground. It was incomparably sweet and was more attractive than anything he had smelled so far.
The pale golden breath in his body was about to burst out!
"You actually used her blood to complete the Evil Book ritual. Are you planning to let this cup of blood absorb a large number of spirits and then instill it into my daughter and let her become one of the vessels for that fellow's resurrection?"
"Hahahahaha —"
The First Lady suddenly laughed wildly as if she had seen something very funny. She laughed so hard that tears almost came out of her eyes. Her body was slightly bent, completely at odds with the current anxious atmosphere.
It was as if she was the most terrifying person.
Osiris's expression changed slightly. His plan had been completely guessed by the First Lady. His expression was not good.
There were too many things that needed to be done to resurrect the Evil Head. To liberate a part of her body here, there had to be a suitable vessel for the spirit. Sakura was the only qualified vessel, but she was not strong enough to withstand the power of the Evil Head. That was why they had set up the Evil Book ritual here and crazily absorbed the remnant souls around them. Those magicians and other humans who came close were all devoured and turned into nutrients for Sakura.
This was a very dangerous move.
But it was also the most likely method that Osiris could think of.
After successfully setting up the Evil Book ritual and letting Sakura grow unknowingly and gain the ability to devour existences, he realized that things were very promising. Whether the First Lady knew about it or not, at this point, he could already see the possibility of resurrecting the Evil Head. That was why he had to succeed at all costs.
Unfortunately, Li Xiang had bumped into him at this time, forcing him to come here in advance for the liberation ceremony.
But now, listening to this crazy woman's words, from the beginning, did she know what they were doing?
Then why did she watch them go step by step until now and watch her daughter's spirit being made into a vessel?
Those remnant souls were rushing into the bloody Holy Grail one by one. The fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, but it was getting more and more out of control.
It was as if something was going to come out of the bloody Holy Grail.
Seeing this, Li Xiang slowly figured out everything.
Perhaps the disaster suppressed under the Sakura Shrine was the so-called Evil Head. Osiris and the rest of the evil followers had been dormant until now in order to resurrect their Evil Head!
They had been accumulating power, probably intending to use the transparent cube to slowly melt these remnant souls and inject them into the bloody Holy Grail in a gentler way. Then, they would feed it to Sakura and let her become the vessel of the Evil Head's resurrection.
But now, things had changed drastically. The black-robed man had directly injected countless remnant souls into the bloody Holy Grail. It seemed that the Holy Grail was about to go out of control.
Thinking of the smell and the horror of the Evil Head, he finally understood why the black-robed man said that they would die together.
If that thing were to awaken, even if the First Lady was present, they would be doomed.
The irritable Sakura suddenly stopped. Her expression was somewhat pained. The black cherry blossoms on her body were getting stronger and stronger, about to cover her whole body.
She was originally just an ordinary spiritual body, imprisoned here forever by the First Lady. Her memories were stuck at the time of Little Witch. Then, she was fancied by these evil followers, who wanted to cultivate her into a vessel. She had forcefully swallowed countless remnant souls and gradually became a borderline mutant. When she was alive, she had even given birth to a daughter with her father. The one who had caused her to become like this was her biological mother.
Sakura had been filled with pain both when she was alive and when she died. Her life, other than her unparalleled talent, was full of tragedy.
The seed of hatred had long been deeply rooted in her heart.
Her beautiful red and black eyes looked at Li Xiang. The complicated emotions in her eyes were slowly transmitted to him.
Countless negative emotions almost drowned Li Xiang.
Hatred, hatred, endless hatred!
Towards her parents, towards her family, towards her enemies, towards this world!
She didn't feel anything good.
She was resisting the temptation to swallow that cup of blood, but her body was involuntarily moving towards it.
"Don't go over there!" Li Xiang took a big step forward. Just as everyone was watching quietly, and the First Lady was also watching the show without any intention of making a move, he made his move.
He suddenly grabbed Sakura's arm. The black cherry blossoms on it instantly pierced his palm, but he did not let go.
Sakura was stunned.
She turned her head with great difficulty and looked at the young man who was grabbing her cold arm.
She was somewhat at a loss.
Why could the warmth from his hand be transmitted to her cold spiritual body? It was as if there was some other important link and restraint between the two of them.
However, that fleeting warmth was once again drowned by the coldness and chill.
This young man had the gun that she had used when she was alive. It was the Demonic Wings that had accompanied her all her life, the only thing that could be called a friend.
However, that was all there was to it.
She did not understand where the real restraint between the two of them was, nor did she want to understand. She only wanted to drink that cup of blood, then kill everyone and become the true vengeful Sakura Soul!
The moment Li Xiang stopped Sakura, the black-robed man could no longer control the bloody holy grail in his hand. He held it tightly with both hands and suddenly shouted, "Osiris! It's too late! Hurry up and perform the Liberation Ritual! "
Osiris broke free from the First Lady's magic. He made up his mind and flew into the air, beginning to chant an incantation.
The First Lady's ghostly figure moved slowly and was about to pass by Sakura and Li Xiang. At that moment, it let out a shrill howl, then squatted down while holding its head. It was forcefully pulled back inch by inch.
"Eat that monster. It's your dinner." The First Lady's face was somewhat pale. It seemed that she had paid a heavy price to regain control of the ghostly figure. She had stopped it from going over to devour the bloody holy grail.
The ghostly figure was very resistant, but its fear of the First Lady still overcame its desire. It walked back step by step with great difficulty and bit down viciously on the distorted monster on the ground.
The ghostly figure was a disaster that the First Lady had used her body to nurture. Her ability was to devour. She could control the ghostly figure to devour anything to grow, which would then feed back to her, making her stronger and stronger.
Therefore, the First Lady had long since abandoned the three major player professions and focused on being a Ghost Breeder, completely merging herself with the disaster.
This was the path she had chosen.
Without the interference of the ghostly figure, Osiris successfully finished chanting the incantation.
The Evil Book ritual completely collapsed. The layout outside cracked layer by layer. The dark red ground suddenly cracked open with bottomless cracks, as if the entire island was collapsing.
As the ground cracked open, the things hidden below slowly revealed themselves.
The First Lady looked at the ground with a faint smile, as if waiting for something interesting to happen.
Li Xiang grabbed Sakura's arm tightly. It was dripping with blood. He could not understand what this crazy woman wanted.
If the Evil Head really revived, would she have the confidence to deal with it?
Only when the ground completely cracked open and the underground world could be seen clearly did Li Xiang and the others understand why the First Lady kept laughing wildly!
"Where are the things? Where are the organs? Why are the organs of the Evil Head gone!!! "Osiris spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the empty ground, he almost went crazy.
All this time, he had been working hard for an empty nest.
As if he had expected such an ending, the black-robed man sighed heavily. He put down the bloody grail in his hand and no longer looked at it.
Without the restraint, the bloody grail finished absorbing the remnant souls and began to shake. But it did not bounce for long before it was entangled by two red threads.
Shadow, who was wrapped like a dumpling, fell to the ground. The two little lolis wrapped the bloody grail together and pulled it in front of the First Lady.
She laughed even harder, as if everyone else in the world was a fool and only she could see everything clearly.
"Yes, it's a pity. Long before you knew about this place, I had already taken away those organs." The First Lady held the bloody grail tied by the threads and showed a beautiful smile. "Thank you, otherwise I would not have been able to get her lifeblood."
All of this was actually a trap that she had planned!
