As he spoke, Uncle Oscar even clenched his fist.
"Leave Ida's matter to your uncle! You should focus on preparing for your upcoming coming-of-age ceremony."
"But...I..."
Oz was about to say something, but Oscar patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him.
"That's settled then. Don't worry about Ida anymore. I promise you'll see a healthy Ida running into your arms and calling you 'brother' after the ceremony."
"All right!"
Seeing his uncle's unusual firmness, Oz thought for a moment and finally chose to compromise.
They followed the servants to the ceremonial hall of the church next door.
Uncle Oscar, his brow furrowed, watched Oz's departing figure and sighed deeply.
However, the uncle and nephew were unaware that Ida, whom they cared about, was already waiting on the rooftop where Oz was about to hold the ceremony.
"Brother Baiye, aren't we going down to attend Brother Oz's coming-of-age ceremony? Why are we watching from the rooftop?"
Watching her older brother emerge below accompanied by two maids, Ada raised her head in confusion and asked Bai Ye beside her.
"Need not."
Bai Ye first shook his head before explaining to Ada.
"Because someone will try to harm your brother during tonight's ceremony, we've ambushed him here beforehand so we can save him at the crucial moment."
"Is that what it is?"
Upon hearing Bai Ye's conversation, little Ada believed it without a second thought, revealing a look of sudden realization.
Then he clenched his little fist.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, faint streams of light leaked from the girl's fist.
This was clearly a result of the girl having just gained power and not being able to control it perfectly.
"What a despicable villain! He actually tried to hurt Brother Oz during his coming-of-age ceremony. If Ada runs into him later, she'll definitely use the power of light that Brother Baiye gave me to give him a good beating."
Bai Ye smiled when he heard the little girl's angry words. He wondered what kind of expression this little girl would have if she saw that the bad guy she was going to beat up was her own father.
Bai Ye had a mischievous urge in his heart, but after thinking about his future plans, he suddenly realized that he might actually need this little girl's help.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye spoke up.
"Hey! Ada, how about Brother Baiye assigns you a task later?"
"Huh? What mission?"
Ada was a little curious.
"Come closer, I'll whisper something to you..."
Upon hearing this, Ada obediently put her ear in front of Bai Ye, and then Bai Ye began to tell the little girl about his plans for the future.
Then, after a moment, Bai Ye raised his head again and asked seriously.
"Have you remembered everything I told you?"
Ada simply nodded her head proudly in response.
"Okay! I've got it all. Don't worry, Brother Baiye, Ida will definitely do as you ask."
Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled with satisfaction. Although he would not be able to witness it in person, he could still imagine the scene of this group of scheming old villains who had been plotting for a hundred years being thwarted and suppressed by this little girl who was not even ten years old.
Bai Ye felt an urge to burst out laughing.
Chapter 74 Kidnapping Black and White Alice (Bonus Chapter 10 and Chapter 11 of Three)
Soon, it was time for the ceremony to begin.
Accompanied by his uncle Oscar, he walked onto the stage with two maids carrying the sacred object.
Accompanied by the melodious and resounding hymns, Oz Vessalius walked slowly towards the platform amidst the applause of the nobles below.
One step, two steps...
I stepped onto the clean red carpet and stood before a clock that had stood still for a century.
The boy placed one hand on his chest and knelt on one knee, ready to receive baptism.
The uncle in front raised the ceremonial sword.
at this time...
The person in the shadows also gave the signal to "prepare for action".
As the words of the baptismal chant slowly rose from her uncle's lips, Ida, who was watching everything from the rooftop, gradually tensed up.
"Do not worry!"
Bai Ye patted the girl's shoulder reassuringly.
"Um"
Ada nodded her little head again, and then her eyes filled with determination.
"In the name of Vessalius, at this moment! I acknowledge that Oz Vessalius has come of age!"
As the uncle's salute sword touched the boy's shoulder and then sheathed itself, the clock behind him, which had been frozen for a hundred years, suddenly began to turn.
Accompanied by the sound of a clock striking.
Immediately following was a deafening "BOOM!"—a sudden flash of lightning.
Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, as if even the heavens were hinting at the extraordinary nature of this coming-of-age ceremony.
And right now!
As if receiving a signal to act, those lurking in the shadows emerged one after another.
When the returning one descends upon the promised land, the bells, silent for a hundred years, will toll once more!
"That's right! It's you!"
Countless cloaked figures dressed in black suddenly emerged from the shadows and surrounded Oz.
At this moment, Uncle Oscar and the guests present seemed to be trapped in a sealed world, as if time had stopped.
This is because Bai Ye took the pocket watch, which was a key item, ahead of time.
Therefore, Black Alice, who had merged with the Bloodstained Black Rabbit, did not appear from Oz's side.
Oz Vessalius was the only one among those who were legally present to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony and still retained the ability to move freely.
He was indeed pinned to the ground by his best buddy "Kier" immediately.
Seemingly realizing that his friend had been controlled, Oz could only let out a helpless, furious scream.
"Who are you people?! Why have you all... and Gil, become like this?!"
"You have no right to question us! Just obediently be sealed into the Abyss!"
A man in a red robe stepped out from among the group of men in black robes; he appeared to be their leader.
“Abyss...you…”
Upon hearing the words of the red-robed man sealing the Abyss, Oz suddenly realized that these people might actually be the messengers of the Abyss that his uncle had spoken of.
Who was that white night that afternoon...?
There's no time to think about these things now.
All that could be seen was that the red-robed leader had already removed his black gloves and was chanting a declaration of judgment.
"At this moment! I wield the chains of judgment to deliver you a punitive trial!"
"Oz Vessalius! Your crime is..."
Just as he was about to be judged, Oz suddenly remembered the words that White Night had spoken to him that afternoon.
I'm the one who will save your life tonight!
Then, it was as if they had grasped at some lifeline.
Oz's loud shout came at the same time as the red-clad leader's final judgment.
"Your crime is: 'your very existence!'"
"You bastard who stole Ada! You must have been watching from the sidelines! Get out here right now!"
As the red-clad leader finished speaking, a black raven-like magic circle lit up beneath Oz.
At the same time as the magic circle appeared, a handsome figure descended from the sky.
That's right, that's Bai Ye.
The moment Bai Ye jumped off the roof, he kicked Oz out of the magic circle, and then flashed to stand in the middle of the magic circle himself.
"Thank you all for planning this for so long and for opening the door for me. To be honest, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
"Then..."
"Although I can't see what happens next, I still wish you guys a lot of fun! Hahaha!"
He left behind some very pleasant words, and then Bai Ye was transported into the Abyss by the magic circle.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present, including Oz Vessalius, the protagonist, a group of cloaked figures who were pawns, and even Jack, the mastermind hidden within Oz.
Everyone was completely bewildered, wondering what was going on with Bai Ye, who had just been sealed in hell and was still laughing.
but...
The situation at the scene seemed to have left them no longer able to remain bewildered.
Because right after the White Night disappeared.
A petite blonde figure suddenly jumped down from the spot where Bai Ye had jumped down earlier.
and...
The next moment, it unleashed a powerful aura that caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.
"It's you! You want to bully my brother at his coming-of-age ceremony?"
Accompanying the girl's words were rows of cross-shaped lightsabers gleaming with white light.
but...
What surprised everyone present was not the powerful sense of oppression emanating from the lightsaber.
To everyone's surprise, the identity of the girl who appeared before them was revealed.
"Ada Vessalius? How... is that possible?!"
The man in the red cloak was so shocked that he took three steps back, seemingly unable to believe that Ada would appear here.
But the lightsaber behind Ada didn't give them time to be shocked.
The lightsabers transformed into streaks of light, piercing straight towards all the cloaked figures.
Some of them brandished sickles to defend themselves, while others used their agility to dodge.
Only the red-robed man, who was the leader, reached out and summoned countless chains to shatter the lightsaber, and then looked at Ada in front of him and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"This farce has nothing to do with a little girl like you. Get out of here quickly, no one will hurt you."
"I do not!"
Hearing the words of the man in the red cloak, Ada felt a little strange. Why did she feel a trace of goodwill from him? However, recalling Bai Ye's instructions, the girl firmly shook her head and refused.
"Ada!"
At this moment, Oz, who had been kicked away by Bai Ye behind him, finally reacted.
He saw his younger sister, though he didn't know why she had learned to summon a lightsaber after disappearing for an afternoon.
However, his older brother instincts told him that he didn't want his younger sister to be in danger because of him.
"Ada, run! Don't worry about me! These people are dangerous; you're not a little girl like me to handle them."
She said the same words as the red-robed leader, but Ada ignored the two men's pleas to escape.
