Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Chapter 152 Soul Collapse

Alphonse couldn't understand what was going on with Mia's situation.

With memories from both lifetimes combined, it's difficult to figure out the solution.

They could only carry Mia into the side room and lay her down on the soft sofa.

It's more comfortable than lying on the ground.

He once again probed Mia's body with his true energy and examined her.

Alphonse was even more puzzled.

Mia's injuries are still healing rapidly; the wound on her abdomen has almost completely healed, leaving only a thin line, but she still won't wake up.

Just as they were racking their brains trying to figure it out, they heard hurried footsteps and a servant with a distressed expression ran in.

"Baron Tartarus, Her Majesty the Queen requests your presence in the banquet hall to administer antidote to the delegation from the Kingdom of Hailant and the wounded nobles."

Sure enough, something went wrong in the banquet hall as well.

Judging from his words, it seems that the delegation from the Kingdom of Hailant was not involved in the rebellion.

"Okay." Alphonse picked Mia up in his arms.

At this moment, Alphonse truly dared not entrust Mia to anyone else.

The fighting in the banquet hall had ceased, but painful groans still echoed through the hall.

A rebellion has ended, but not everything is over.

The Royal Guard's rebellion was directed at Queen Junon, and the massacres only targeted guests attending the royal banquet.

Not all the palace servants were killed; the Queen still had capable men at her disposal.

At this moment, the servants and maids who had been summoned were suppressing their discomfort as they cleared the corpses or body parts out of the banquet hall.

The archbishop from the Kingdom of Hailant was slumped to the ground, and all eight knights of the Sky Knights had also collapsed.

The toxins in their food and drink had completely eroded their bodies, and they only managed to survive this arduous battle thanks to the archbishop's divine magic.

Those who survived were even more fortunate, and the surviving nobles were all waiting for the physician's treatment.

Queen Junoun has many things to do, but for now she can only wait.

She has already ordered someone to issue a command to summon the army to the palace.

The palace needs to restore order, and then the traitor's accomplices need to be investigated and dealt with.

San Centano is about to undergo a major purge.

Seeing Alphonse rushing over carrying Mia, Queen Junon was puzzled and asked with concern, "Has Mia not woken up yet?"

Alphonse shook his head. "No."

"Put her down first, I'll have the maids take care of her," Queen Junon said. "Alphonse, you help Bishop Bartos get rid of the poison first."

Alphonse responded and was about to put Mia down.

Bishop Bartos stared at Mia, frowning. "If I'm not mistaken, this Miss Mia must have used some kind of secret technique. Although her physical injuries are healing, her soul is collapsing."

Although his words were weak and listless, the meaning behind them sent a chill down Alphonse's spine.

Soul breakdown?

Didn't Mia only use Phoenix Dance Nirvana?

This also gave Alphonse the answer to why Mia hadn't woken up yet.

He asked urgently, "Then how can we save her?"

Alphonse truly doesn't understand matters of the soul.

"Please, you must save her!" Queen Junon did not want to see Mia, a meritorious woman who had made great contributions, die like this.

"Help me detoxify first, then I'll try using divine magic. Don't worry, the Holy Light will save every innocent person," Bishop Bartos said weakly.

Alphonse quickly and carefully placed Mia on the ground.

He pressed one hand against Bishop Bartos's chest.

As soon as the true energy was channeled in, Alphonse clearly sensed his condition.

In his heart area, the power of light was entangled with the poison, but it was not as deeply entrenched as it had been before Queen Junon.

The holy light of the Church of Light seems to have a better protective ability than battle aura.

Removing them is not that difficult.

It didn't take much effort for Alphonse to absorb all the toxins into his hands and then expel them.

Bishop Bartos did not hesitate. He walked to Mia's side, knelt down, and began to recite a prayer. Soft white light instantly shone from his palms as he pressed down on Mia's body.

Alphonse dared not disturb him, and instead stood aside to treat the poisoned people one by one.

His gaze, however, kept drifting towards Mia.

I was genuinely worried that something might happen to Mia.

Since his transmigration, Mia has been by his side. This half-elf girl, who always has a stern face, has left a deep mark on Alphonse's heart.

Although she was a bit sharp-tongued when we first met, she had a good heart.

She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

After a long time, Alphonse had completely removed the toxins from all the poisoned people.

Bishop Bartos, however, still showed no intention of withdrawing the divine spell.

A gentle, luminous glow completely enveloped Mia, like a cocoon of light enveloping her.

After a while, Bishop Bartos slowly withdrew his hands.

His face turned even paler, so pale he didn't look alive, his face ashen.

His body was swaying precariously.

The knight on one side quickly helped him up.

It is clear that he put in a great deal of effort.

The holy light remained within Mia's body, just as her body naturally radiated light.

Before Alphonse could even ask a question, Queen Junon spoke up.

"Is it cured?"

Bishop Bartos shook his head weakly. "I'm sorry, her soul has been severely damaged. I can only do my best to stabilize it, but this only temporarily prevents it from dissipating quickly. It is still slowly collapsing."

Alphonse was stunned. After all that, you still couldn't save him?!

He felt a sudden surge of anxiety, but he also knew that Bishop Bartos had done his best.

If he hadn't pointed this out, Alphonse would have thought that Mia had recovered but was still unconscious.

"What should we do then?"

"Unless His Holiness the Pope of our Church intervenes personally, or we find our prince," Bishop Bartos said.

"Where are they now?" Alphonse asked impatiently.

"His Holiness the Pope is naturally in the Papacy in the capital of our Kingdom of Hailant. As for His Highness the Prince, according to the revelation of His Holiness the Pope's great prophecy, he should have entered the Kingdom of Bastian." Bishop Bartos said, then shook his head. "Our capital is too far from Saint Centano. Even with Pegasus, it would take about eight days to get there. As for Miss Mia, she can't hold on for that long. Even with the blessing of the Holy Light, her soul will completely collapse in four or five days at most."

Doesn't that mean there's no other way? Alphonse's heart sank to the bottom.

"Is Prince Wayne's magic stronger than that of the Archbishop?" Queen Junon heard about this from Archbishop Bartos during their meeting earlier that day.

The delegation from the Kingdom of Hailant came to the Kingdom of Bastian because of this matter. As for building peace and establishing diplomatic bridges, that was secondary. Queen Junon could see through their formalities and true intentions.

Prince Wayne was truly unruly; he ran away from home without even saying goodbye to his elders.
