Now is the last and only chance!

Do you still expect someone to come and rescue you?

At this moment, the face of a young man flashed through Shirley's mind. The young man's name was Fike.

When Shirley thought of this young man, she sighed silently.

She told herself that even if a miracle happened, even if Fike was willing to sacrifice his life to save her, Fike would not be able to rescue her in this werewolf territory with so many werewolves.

Taking a step back, even if we put aside the number, Shirley knew the strength of the werewolf royal family. Not to mention the four legendary werewolf ancestors, the monsters ranked in the top ten of the werewolf royal family duel list alone were enough to kill Fike hundreds of times.

So, even if Fike was willing, Shirley didn't want him to come and save her. This was simply a suicidal act of throwing herself into a flame.

However, Shirley still has to thank Fike.

She wanted to thank Fei Ke for giving her another thought besides her parents in the last moments of her life, allowing her to experience a precious feeling different from family love.

——(Alright, no more hesitation, it’s time…!)

Shirley took a deep breath and made a decision.

She wants to let her life burn out its final value!

But just as she was about to take action, she suddenly discovered that the damn Kenroshi Okami had actually left her attack range at some point. This was an extremely fatal deviation!

Faced with this sudden situation, Shirley's heart began to beat wildly. If she didn't find a way to solve this problem quickly, all her preparations over the past few days would be in vain! Her only chance of rescuing her parents from this place would be completely gone!

"Ms. Shirley, as always, there will be a slight pain during blood drawing. Please bear with it for a while."

The werewolf blood witch did not notice Shirley's strange emotions. He drew out the shiny dagger step by step and was about to cut the blood vessels in Shirley's arm.

In a hurry, Shirley suddenly took a half step back to avoid the dagger, and then turned her eyes to Kenroshi Okami, who was only one step away from the attack range.

"Wait a minute, before I draw blood, I have one more request!"

At this moment, Shirley didn't know what to say next, but she had no choice. She had to believe that she could think of a solution in a hurry.

After seeing Shirley's unusual behavior, Kenrushi Okami immediately took half a step forward, and his eyes looking at Shirley suddenly became sharp.

"Ms. Shirley, I have just fulfilled one of your requests. Isn't it a bit too much for you to raise the price like this?" Kenroshi Okami raised his voice and said.

"It's indeed a bit too much, but the 'blood' you want is on me, isn't it?" Shirley suppressed her inner nervousness and pretended to be calm when dealing with Kenroshi Okami.

——(Just half a step forward… just half a step…!)

"Haha, the 'blood' is indeed on you, but the lives of the three of you are in my hands."

After Kenroshi Okami finished speaking, he took a step forward and gestured. The werewolf soldiers surrounding the hall immediately raised their weapons and rushed towards Ice Star Shirley.

Shirley was overjoyed at this! She immediately began to chant the black magic using the extremely difficult "Silent Chanting" technique. At the same time, she had to continue talking to avoid Kenroshi Okami's suspicion.

"Of course I know our lives are in your hands, but, Kenroshi Okami, after spending some time with you, I always feel that you...are just good at talking, right?"

While she was speaking, Shirley's "Silent Chant" was still going on. Except for herself who could feel her vitality constantly draining away, no one knew that she was preparing an extremely forbidden black magic.

However, what Shirley said in order to delay time happened to touch the reverse scale of Kenrushi Okami... Kenrushi would never allow Shirley to shake his prestige like this, especially in front of so many subordinates.

"Punch her through with a rain of silver spears."

Without any hesitation, Kenroshi Okami raised his hand and swung the divine spear energy body shining with silver light pierced Shirley's right leg, causing her to kneel down on the spot in pain.

"You don't have the ability to judge people, Miss Shirley. I always do what I say. Sometimes, I even do it without saying anything."

Kenroshi beckoned to his subordinate, who understood and immediately brought him a wooden box. Kenroshi took the box and tossed it, landing squarely in front of Shirley.

As the wooden box cracked with a "clang", the things in the box rolled out and stopped only when they touched Shirley's feet.

At that moment, Shirley forgot to breathe and her heart missed a beat.

The severe pain from being pierced through the thigh just now did not make her stop chanting, but the bloody head that came into her sight at this moment almost made her interrupt the chanting - what Shirley saw was the head of Elder Telde, the Deer God, one of the five elders of the Snow Deer Family!

If Shirley hadn't been mentally strong enough, her ongoing secret operation would have likely been ruined by this vicious threat from Kenroshi Okami!

——(The Deer God Elder… Teld…?!!)

——(Why would he?!!!)

Shirley's breathing became uncontrollable, her heartbeat became frantic, and she exerted all her strength to barely maintain the "Silent Chant".

Kenroshi Okami stood in the distance, calmly watching Shirley trying her best to hide her panic, and felt very satisfied.

"Stop struggling in vain, Ice Star Shirley. The guys you're waiting for won't come."

Kenroshi took another step forward. He felt that the farce should end here, and ordered the werewolf blood witches to continue collecting blood.

But Shirley, the person involved, was confused. She didn't know why Elder Deer God died at the hands of Kenrushi Okami, nor did she know what Kenrushi Okami meant by "the guys you are looking forward to."

Could it be that something is happening outside this building that I am not aware of?

A ray of hope ignited in Shirley's heart, but unfortunately, this ray of hope came too late. She had no time to wait for this ray of hope to shine into the dim hall.

Instead of entrusting your destiny to others, it is better to take it into your own hands. Shirley has lived this way all along, and now, she will still implement her own decisions!

"You are wrong, Kenroshi Okami..."

Shirley endured the severe pain and stood up again, her blazing eyes like a shining torch.

“I’ve never been waiting for anyone…”

She raised her right hand high, and the energy of life gathered on her right index finger.

"The only thing I'm waiting for is the chant...!"

As Shirley pointed her finger at Kenroshi Okami with a "swish", an ominous forbidden dark magic circle instantly unfolded under her feet, surrounding Kenroshi Okami, the werewolf soldiers, and the werewolf blood witches!

Then, Shirley uttered the name of the black magic, completing the last syllable of the silent chant.

"Fourth-level colorless magic: Binding Abyss!"

8.211 - Two Black Magics

Although Kenroshi Okami had reacted immediately, Ice Star Shirley's "Fourth-Level Colorless Magic: Bound Abyss" was one step faster than him.

The moment the chant was completed, the outcome was already determined.

No matter what Kenroshi Okami and the others did, as long as they were within the effective range of magic, the result would be in vain.

Kenroshi Okami didn't know how Ice Star Shirley used magic. This woman should have been in an abnormal state where she couldn't use magic. But when he saw the magic circle unfold, when he saw the dark and empty ghost hands extending from the magic circle, his instinctive reaction was to first use "Thunderbolt Throw" towards the distance, and then use "Silver Projection" to teleport himself out of the magic circle.

However, Kenroshi's actions failed to keep up with his thoughts.

At that moment, before Ken Ruoxi could even raise his hands, they were already entangled by the dark and illusory ghost hands. What was worse was that his entire body was also tightly tied up by the ghost hands.

These ghostly hands that stretched out from the magic circle not only restricted his movements, but also made him weak all over, even...

——(My magic power...is unusable?!)

Kenroshi Okami looked at his hands in disbelief. Now, no matter what skills he used, he couldn't activate them.

Without magic power, he couldn't even keep "Silver Divine Spear Silva" in its physical form.

In the same predicament as Kenroshi Okami were all the werewolf soldiers and werewolf blood wizards who were in the huge magic circle.

Since their physical fitness was not as good as Kenroshi Okami's, they couldn't even stand up. They were all tied to the ground by the ghost hands. There was no way to expect them to be of any help.

As for the werewolf soldiers standing outside the dark magic circle, some of them tried to reach out to pull the people inside out, but as soon as their hands entered the space of the magic circle, the people were pulled in by the ghost hand; and the smarter ones drew their bows and wanted to use arrows to directly shoot the Ice Star Shirley in the center of the magic circle, but as soon as the arrows flew into the magic circle, they were immediately pulled to the ground by the ghost hand.

Looking at these useless subordinates, Kenroshi Okami regretted not bringing in a few of the werewolf royal warriors guarding outside the ancestral hall - he had never expected that he would encounter a crisis inside.

Now he was in the inner hall, so even if he used wolf howls to call his subordinates outside, the sound would not be transmitted.

"How's it going, Kenroshi Okami? Is this your first time experiencing the feeling of not being able to use magic?"

The voice of Ice Star Shirley came from the core of the dark magic circle. Kenroshi Okami looked at her and really didn't expect that one day he would be slapped in the face by this woman.

However, even if the situation is reversed now, Ken Ruoxi doesn't think he will lose. He still holds the last trump card in his hand... So if this woman wants to be proud, then let her be proud.

·

"Ice Star Shirley! How did you get rid of the abnormal state? Why can you use magic?!" Kenroshi asked in pretended anger.

"Yeah, why? Why not ask the gods after you die?"

It was obvious that Ice Star Shirley's answer was intended to continue to irritate Kenrushi, but Kenrushi was not fooled and continued to observe everything within her sight very carefully.

At this time, Kenrushi noticed that for some reason, Ice Star Shirley's eyes were bloodshot, and blood was dripping from the corners of her mouth... She looked very weak.

——(Is this because of the "Silver Spear Rain" attack just now?)

No, Ken Ruoxi didn't think so. Even if a hole was opened on Ice Star Shirley's thigh, with the physical fitness of this woman as a fourth-level combat professional, she would not be so weak.

——(Could this be a negative effect of this magic?)

Ken Ruoxi observed carefully again and noticed that although Ice Star Shirley seemed proud on the surface, she actually seemed to have a very hard time just maintaining this dark magic circle. She had no way to do anything else, let alone kill Ken Ruoxi and the others while they were under control.

Another thing that made Kenruxi very happy was that the ghost hand that stretched out from the dark magic circle not only controlled Kenruxi and the others, but also did not let go of the parents of Ice Star Shirley.

——(It seems the situation hasn't been completely reversed yet...)

Ken Ruoxi secretly relaxed a little. He believed that time was on his side.

In the dim hall of the building, Shirley's breathing was becoming uncontrollably rapid.

She could feel her heart beating uncontrollably, her body doing everything it could to "survive".

However, in order to rescue her parents and prevent Kenroshi Okami from succeeding, she had to give up her body today.

At this moment, the black magic that Shirley is maintaining is called "Fourth-level Colorless Magic: Bound Abyss". As a taboo existence, all black magic is naturally one level stronger than conventional magic of the same level, so it can even be used to restrict Kenroshi Okami.

However, the more powerful the black magic, the worse the side effects. Not only is the "Binding Abyss" unable to distinguish between friend and foe to control it, but while maintaining this black magic, Shirley herself is also unable to move or use magic power.

The only thing she could do now was to continue to chant the next black magic with her life.

And this was exactly the plan she had made up her mind from the beginning.

·

In order to prevent Kenroshi Okami from noticing her intentions too early, Shirley once again used the "Silent Chant" technique to conceal her true purpose.

She continued to verbally provoke Kenroshi Okami in order to distract him.

The next black magic she was going to use was called "Fourth-level Colorless Magic: Illusionary Butterfly Wings".

"Illusionary Butterfly Wings" is an uncontrollable teleportation magic that can teleport multiple people at the same time. The vitality consumed increases proportionally with the number of people.

If Shirley had only teleported her parents away, she could have been saved from death. However, she was left alone with her life extinguished and she would eventually be tortured to death. So she thought it would be better to teleport herself away as well, so that at least her parents would have the chance to bury her.

As for where the "illusory butterfly wings" will teleport her parents and herself, Shirley has no control over this. What she can be sure of is that the destination will be safe and far away from the werewolf territory.

——(I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, please forgive my selfish decision.)

As the chanting of "Illusionary Butterfly Wings" reached halfway, three rotating butterfly wing magic circles gradually appeared under the feet of Shirley and her family of three.

At this stage, Shirley no longer needed to hide. Regardless of whether Kenroshi Okami understood the meaning of the magic circle or not, they could no longer stop it.

The reason why Shirley released the "Fourth-level Colorless Magic: Bound Abyss" first was to ensure that even if the butterfly wing magic circle appeared, her chant would not be interrupted.

However, what made Shirley feel sad was that her parents were looking at her expectantly at this time.

The parents, who didn't understand black magic, had no idea that Shirley was about to sacrifice her life.

"Dad, Mom, I love you."

Shirley gritted her teeth and chanted until the last syllable before releasing it.

Kenroshi Okami could only watch as Ice Star Shirley chanted an unknown magic spell, completely unable to stop her.
