Princess' personal painter

Is it because I have been avoiding disputes and haven't felt the threat of death for a long time?

While her body was being burned by the holy light, she could only watch Erica being captured by soldiers.Mia had no choice but to endure the severe pain, forcefully raised her strength, flapped her fleshy wings and flew in another direction, using the thick pillars in the palace to escape into a dark corner.

Not long after, she fled to a safe location and landed on the ground.

As soon as the soles of the feet touched the ground, they felt severe pain.Mia fell to her knees, leaning on the wall in embarrassment, panting violently.

...Erica, I'm sorry.

……

Camilla's Palace, the passage to the central hall.

The four of Guidinis were very fast, and it took only half an hour to reach the central hall.

If it wasn't for the fact that the monsters in the palace had become manic for some reason, and their frequent attacks had caused considerable hindrance to the four of them, they could have caught up with the "prey" at a faster speed.

Of course, the difference is not that big now.

Not far behind the four of them, the hidden black-robed girl sensed that she was getting very close to Irene, and was about to follow up quietly, but found that those people suddenly stopped and said something to each other. What.

Among them, the female witch swordsman drew out her long sword and drew a magic circle on the spot.

Then, the magic swordsman and the other two walked away together, and the "uncle" left behind pulled out the giant sword behind him, and said loudly in the direction of the black-robed girl: "Who is it? Don't hide anymore, want to If you want to pass here, come and fight with me!"

It seems... I have been exposed long ago.

Not surprised, the black-robed girl drew out her staff and walked up to the uncle.

"It really is you, I guessed it a long time ago, there must be a battle between you and me!" The uncle looked at the expressionless girl and laughed, "Miss Silent Spiritualist, I have long wanted to hear your voice Already!"

If you want to reach Irene, you can only break through his barrier and the enchantment left by the magic swordsman.

Try it first!

Knowing that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, the black-robed girl raised her spirits.She took a deep breath, condensed the magic power at the tip of the staff, and paused word by word in a cool tone:

"Flame, frost, the, environment!"

……

Camilla's Palace, Ascending Stairs in the Narrative.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce not far from the top floor are being entangled by a group of ghost birds.

The ghost bird is a kind of monster close to the undead. It has a gray body and a sharp beak. It is said that it was born out of resentment. It has low intelligence but fierce fighting power.The attack of these more than 20 ghost birds posed a considerable threat to the team. The small number of fighters could not cope with the attacks from all directions for a while.

The team soon showed signs of breaking down.

But at this moment, everyone saw a ripple-shaped blue light sweeping over from mid-air.

As soon as the ghost birds flying in the air came into contact with the blue light, their bodies froze suddenly, and they turned into ashes and disappeared into nothingness. In a short period of time, this group of desperate ghost birds were completely wiped out.

In confusion, everyone who hadn't realized what happened turned their eyes away.

On the top of the "tower"-shaped space in the middle hall of the palace, just below the dark blue mirror above the head, and hundreds of meters above the ground, there is a figure of a man in green robe floating in the air.

Looking down at the crowd below, he exuded an aura like an abyss.

The emotionless eyes, just like during the day, locked on Irene without blinking.His lips opened and closed silently, and Erin clearly read what the other person said.

——You can't escape.

Chapter 50 Erica's Metamorphosis

You can't escape.

The moment she was caught, Erica really heard this sentence.

No matter how hard you run, you can't escape.As long as you are caught by soldiers, your fate will be controlled by others... No one will save you, no one will care about you.

This time, I, who was so weak, was also abandoned by Mia.

In a distant memory, when she was playing in the yard when she was young, a group of soldiers broke in roughly, tied up her family members and took them away one by one in front of her.She huddled in a corner in horror, and finally, she saw a soldier pointing over and asking, "Is she going to grab it too?"

"Tie it up, it will be troublesome to let her run around."

She cried and ran around the yard like a headless fly, but what she heard was the soldier's merciless voice, which is still echoing in her ears today: "Little guy, you can't escape!" of."

She cried, struggled, and even bit the soldier like an animal.

Still can't get rid of the fate of "being caught".

What happened next was like a nightmare.

His father was dismissed for taking bribes, and soon died of depression. After squandering the family property, his mother died of excessive drinking. As for other relatives, they all moved out of Karenin City to avoid disaster.

The famous Jacob family of that year fell to the bottom overnight.

Erica, whose heart was shadowed, had a naive fantasy for a long time: If she hadn't been captured by that soldier, and didn't have the key to that nightmare, would the terrible unfolding that followed would have happened? will be different?

Don't get caught—it's almost become an obsession for her.

Unexpectedly, fate dragged her into the cage again when she didn't expect it.

In the gap between tears, Erica saw a person walking in front of her, took off the helmet, showed a delicate face, and smiled at her:

"The girl who was unfortunately bewitched by the devil, may the gods forgive your sins."

Erica, who was sobbing sadly, did not give any response, and she heard the man continue in a daze: "This is the third captain of the Central Army of the Silver Knights. This lady looks familiar, don't we?" Where have you seen it?"

Just when Erica didn't respond to the officer's interrogation, two pairs of eyes full of resentment opened in the dark under the ruins.

As the family members of the evil god Jormungandr, the two sea snakes that were abandoned in the corner with their heads separated, although they lost most of their power in hundreds of years of sealing, the powerful vitality of the ocean overlord made them Did not die in the first place.

The blood from their bodies gradually drained away, but the last trace of their consciousness was still lingering.

The virgin's blood is not only the sacrifice they long for, but also the key to unlock the last seal on them—this is a great mockery of the greedy nature of sea snakes from human beings.

Concealing itself, in the long wait before dying, the sea snake fell into despair.

But now, this human girl who suddenly appeared has become the only life-saving straw.

Desperately pulling the soul out of the dying head, the tentacles of consciousness reached out to the girl.They sensed the weakness, helplessness, fear and uneasiness emanating from the girl's spirit, so they chose to greet her in the most primitive way:

Want to gain power?

Who, and who is speaking to me?Erica looked up, but the only officer in front of her was the officer who was waiting for her answer.Her body couldn't help trembling, and that voice sounded in her mind again.

Want to get out of here?Then give your blood!

Blood, is it enough to just donate blood?Erica thought blankly, or rather, she didn't think at all.She instinctively realized that this voice was the key to her escape from this nightmare, and she had no choice.

Following the instructions of that voice, Erica inserted her index finger between her teeth and bit down hard.

Next, the moment blood gushed out from the fingertips, two distinct red lines emerged in the air.Erica felt that the blood in her body was gathering uncontrollably toward her fingertips, was drawn out of her body, and flowed somewhere behind her along the red line.

The rapid loss of strength from her body made Erica realize that she had been deceived.The blood in her body was about to run out, and she was about to die.

She watched all this happening in a daze, then closed her eyes in resignation.

Fortunately for her, it didn't end there.

The emblem of the Jacob family is exactly two sea snakes intertwined with each other.

Erica Jacob's ancestor was the elder of the Kuroshio Knights, one of whom became the head of the underground pirate group.It was this ancestor who led the crowd to capture these two sea snakes in a terrifying battle, signed a soul contract forcibly, and enslaved the former overlord of the sea.

The pirate group during that period was also invincible at sea with the help of two sea snakes.

After Erica's ancestor passed away, in order to check and balance the strength of the various ministries and prevent one family from dominating, the Knights did not hand over the control of the two sea snakes to the descendants of the Jacob family, but sealed them on the door. Became part of Camilla's Palace.

After hundreds of years, what the two sea snakes didn't expect was that this powerless girl was the descendant of the human who enslaved them in the first place.

The blood flowing out of the girl's body, while releasing the last seal and helping the two sea snakes regain their vitality, also activated the master-slave brand imprinted deep in their souls.The more you absorb Erica's blood, the stronger the coercion from the soul contract will be. This is a contradictory proposition.

The absolute principle of not harming their masters has gradually controlled the will of the sea snakes. At this moment, there is still a long way to go before their bodies regain their vitality... From the initial anger, unwillingness, and then to helplessness, the sea snakes In order to survive, he finally accepted the fate of being enslaved by humans again.

Master, please let us enter your body.

In the elongated timeline, the voice in her head seemed to become respectful, Erica agreed in a daze, only to feel two cold things getting into her body from somewhere, she shivered, Immediately afterwards, she felt the strength she had just lost return to her body.

A strange sense of fullness spread in her body, she opened her eyes, and found that the officer in front of her was looking at her like she had seen a ghost.

Completely abandoning the body of the sea snake and choosing to live on the girl as a spirit body, they immediately sensed that the human being in front of them was the one the "master" hated.

The flattering instinct made them launch a surprise attack on this human without waiting for Erica's order.

The oncoming black mist made the officer who reacted hastily retreat. He took out the long sword blessed by the holy light, and was about to chant a spell when he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his arm.

Lowering his head, he saw the terrifying black and purple spread rapidly on his arm, his expression changed drastically, and he was about to chop off his arm with the sword, but it was still a step too late, the poison had already penetrated into the heart muscle.His body froze suddenly, and the next moment, the priest who had repelled Mia just now, the young talent with the name of genius, the son of a prince who entered the army for training, fell straight on the ground... easily died of the snake venom under.

Erica, who watched all this happening blankly, instinctively thought——

Yes, did I do it... I killed someone?

Chapter 51 Dedicated Irene

Finally reached the top passage!

Before the green-robed mage could catch up, a group of people desperately squeezed into the passage.According to Yannis, there seems to be some mysterious power in the passage on the top floor, which has not been occupied by monsters, so there are still many mechanisms that can be activated.

Just now, when the green-robed man fell from the sky, Yannis used his last trump card—the one prepared a few days ago, which was specially used to deal with magicians, called "Demon Eater" The abyssal creature, the tentacle-shaped purple mist, is extremely sensitive to magic power and will automatically search for nearby magic to launch a "hunt". Generally speaking, "demon eaters" can cause considerable trouble to magicians.

This was originally a weapon used to deal with the black-robed girl who was pestering Erin.

However, seeing that the green-robed man's movements were hindered, but he was still able to do it with ease, Yannis realized that the "Demon Eater" couldn't stop him for long.

Sure enough, all the people ran for a short distance in the passage, and the green-robed man chased up from behind, like a god descending from the earth, with a dim light all over his body.

Seeing that he was about to rush into the formation, the mechanism in the passage suddenly activated, and the huge rope net rushed towards him. Before he had time to stop, the green-robed man was caught by the huge net.The green-robed man's expression froze, and he hurriedly chanted a spell to break it, but found that the rope was extremely tough, and he couldn't break free for a while.

"Come on."

Yannis yelled loudly, waking up the people who were still in shock, and the team hurried forward to the depths of the passage.

Hearing the man in green robe behind him "hum" coldly, several balls of blue flames shot out, pointing directly at the center of the team.Yannis and Weiss hurriedly drew their knives and turned around, catching a few balls of You Yan abruptly, and there was a "Zi Zi" burning sound.But there was still You Yan who slipped through the net and landed in the team, and the few people who were hit wailed tragically, and their lives and deaths were unknown for a while.

The terrible fire burned on the ground, and the scorching breath spread in the air.

The team managed to escape from the attack range of the green-robed man, only to hear Yannis whispering: "I didn't expect His Highness's power to be able to mobilize 'this'...it's really tricky."

In a state of being protected all the time, Erin asked with complicated emotions: "How far is it?"

"It will be here in 10 minutes, but it seems that something will happen." Yannis replied.
