"Ain?!"

The moment the little wizard appeared, surprise flashed across Loren's face.

Her trembling hands clenched the silver dagger tightly, and she looked around vigilantly and calmly, with uncontrollable fear in her eyes.

"Lo, Loren, is that you?!"

The moment he heard the black-haired wizard's voice, the frightened little wizard immediately shouted around, "Where are you?!"

"It's too dark in here for me to see you... Loren, you... Where the hell is it?"

"Tell me, okay? Or ...... Is this just an illusion?"

The black-haired wizard was shocked, and slowly withdrew his outstretched hand without saying a word.

Within a few paces of each other, Ain couldn't see him, didn't even know where he was, just groped around in the darkness, searching for the source of the black-haired wizard's voice.

Of course she couldn't see it...... This is already Ariel's "dream world", and forcibly dragging her in, the only end is to drive Ain completely crazy.

"Loren should be thankful. ”

The calm-looking girl spoke softly, "If it weren't for Ariel, the strong, poor Ain would have been eaten by the monsters by now. ”

Dead silence.

Even if she didn't say a word, Ariel could feel the anger rising in the body of the man in front of her, burning irrepressibly!

"Dear Loren, rest assured, Ariel will never hurt poor Al Ain—she loves you so much, so deeply, so unreservedly that she can do anything for you, even if she never had the courage to do it. ”

"For someone who loves Loren so deeply, Ariel will never hurt her......"

"Because Ariel is also deeply in love with Loren. ”

Loren didn't answer a word, his murderous gaze was as silent as water, staring at her coldly.

The girl wielding the skeletal scythe was still expressionless, but with a hint of sadness:

"All Ariel wants to do is to make Loren understand that there is no point in continuing to struggle, that this is a battle you cannot win, and that what you are fighting for is destined to end in defeat, pain and sorrow. ”

"Beloved Hides His Face and Weeps......"

"The Treasured Thing Fragments ......"

"Even in front of Ariel, you still can't protect the people who love you, and you will even feel angry and desperate because of it. Ariel's voice grew sad:

"How helpless will you be when you face an even more terrible, cruel, and ruthless evil god?"

"The day when you have to face the Holy Cross alone, it will be ......"

"Enough ......"

A hoarse voice that almost roared interrupted the girl's words, and Loren gritted his teeth fiercely: "I've had enough of your nonsense!"

"So please listen to me!"

"Maybe one day, I'll fall to what you say, but even then that's what I chose, and I walked out on my own. ”

"This is important!"

"And then... You made a very serious mistake. "The black-haired wizard is as good as ever...... Slowly hooked the corners of his mouth:

"Who told you that Ain Rand is a burden to me and needs my protection?"

"You couldn't be more wrong!"

Ariel's expression moved, as if she sensed something abnormal around her.

"Isaac, Ain... And then it's me, the least talented, the worst of all......" Loren Turin chuckled to himself:

"Actually, it's me!"

As the words fell, the black-haired wizard's left hand snapped his fingers.

A crisp cracking sound came from all around, and the disbelief girl's eyes widened: "Dream invasion...... W-W, exactly, when did it happen?!"

"Just when you were stalling for time. The indifferent Loren replied, "Do you think that I am really just there according to your plan, entangled by flesh and blood puppets?"

The cracks unfold around at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dream world belonging to Ariel is rapidly collapsing, replaced by "Loren Turin"!

As long as the will and strength are strong enough, then the false dreams can be distorted and destroyed as well - yes, Loren's own may not be able to do it, but if you add Asriel's power, it will be enough!

"Do you want to drag me into your dream world?" Ariel whispered, "but unfortunately, Loren can't do it now. ”

"That's right, but at least the one that can crush yours. The black-haired wizard's eyes narrowed:

"That's enough. ”

A loud roar was heard, and everything around it quickly crumbled like glass, revealing the true "Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower", although it was not different from the previous one.

This is exactly the cunning of Ariel in the beginning - because there is no difference, Loren does not even realize when he steps into the hall of the corridor, he has entered her dream world, so that he has fallen into the trap of the "blood ritual".

And the collapse of the dream world also has another purpose.

"Loren?!"

In an instant, Ain, who noticed that his surroundings had suddenly "brightened", immediately found a black-haired wizard covered in blood, and a girl named Ariel Corona who was holding a scythe and pointed at him.

The little wizard who didn't hesitate immediately ran behind Loren, but his shocked eyes were still looking around with his peripheral vision, not asking what was going on or what was going on.

It was enough to know that he was alive and needed her help, and that was enough for Ain.

As for Ariel Corona in front of her...... Although it is not known for what reason, there is no doubt that she is the enemy!

"Are you scared?"

The black-haired wizard's inquiry came, and Ain, who was biting her lip, shook her head vigorously, and pointed the short sword in her hand at Ariel, who was still motionless.

"Remember when we agreed?" Loren whispered, "It's like... It's like ......"

"Martin?" the little wizard suddenly said the name of one of the robbers.

"Do you remember?" the dark-haired wizard couldn't help but laugh, and Ain's cheeks flushed.

"But it's a lot like that time, we have to work together to defeat this Miss Ariel before we can live. Loren looked at the little wizard in front of him sincerely:

"I won't lie to you this time, Ain, I have a plan, but I can't do it alone, I need you. ”

The little wizard, who seemed to have been touched, shuddered suddenly, staring into those "sincere" eyes.

Really... Obviously I've been deceived by this guy more than once, but why... Why ...... Yourself

Would you believe him so willingly?

"Leave it to me!"

........................ "Are you telling the truth?!"

At a certain corner of the corridor, the three people who had just relied on Ain Rand's "sacrifice" to get rid of the monster were hiding in place and resting at the moment.

And now a certain night watchman, who was very opposed to it just now, now offers to go back!

The elves didn't know how to describe this guy - sometimes they were timid like rats in the gutter, and sometimes they were more impulsive than the most impatient elves.

"I'm just making a reasonable judgment based on the existing conditions. Edward said indifferently:

"If, as you say, the traces of Bishop Farnesis and the knights around him were discovered, then there is no doubt that they were headed for the Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star and Loren Turin. ”

"And our 'duty' is to stop them, and no matter what Loren is doing now, we can't let them pass!"

"Didn't you still disagree before?" Leah said contemptuously and coldly: "If you pursue, I'll do it alone!"

"But now it's a different story – in the sewers, probably the safest place to go undetected. Edward shook his head calmly, without the slightest hint of irritation by the female elf:

"And against that guard knight, you also need a helper to kill both of them at the same time, don't you?"

The war dancer frowned, his eyes complicated as he stared at him.

"I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm proposing a partnership that will benefit both of us, Your Excellency the Elven Wardancer. ”

Edward stared at her and slowly stretched out his right hand:

"Like you, we must now make sure that this Lord Bishop dies here, so...... Let's fight together one last time!"
