Safina and Ursula hadn't gone far yet, they were near Weymouth. It's just that right now, they're in trouble.

It was probably the first time Safina had faced an opponent since she got her current powers—and it was a tough one to deal with.

At this moment, in Preston, northeast of Weymouth, a strange battle is going on. Moreover...... In fact, it's been going on for days and nights.

The battle began with an "old man" that Safina found while patrolling around Weymouth.

"Ursula, are you alright? Can it still hold up? ”

In an alley on Preston Street, Safina was walking to the other end of the alley, half-dragging and half-supporting her sister Ursula. She obviously didn't forget that she could still fly, but because she didn't dare to fly into the air easily now.

To be honest, Safina actually regretted it a little at this point - she shouldn't have kept Ursula by her side because she wasn't at ease. As it turned out, when she was out on patrol, her side was much more dangerous than the Weymouth hideout!

If it were only Safina herself, she could have chosen to leave, but now that there is Ursula, the situation is completely different.

"It's all right," Ursula shook her head weakly, "it's just ...... Safina, I'm sorry, I don't think I should have stayed in the UK in the first place. ”

"Don't talk about that now."

Safina said this, but her attention continued to shift from corner to corner of the circle, keeping an eye on every movement and change.

The magic of the whole area seemed to be sluggish, which made her feel very uncomfortable. It's just that the most uncomfortable thing at the moment is definitely Ursula.

In fact, Safina could clearly feel that an invisible force was permeating the neighborhood at this time. It's like a tidal wave, tugging at every soul in its range.

Thanks to the power of the Soul Rules obtained from the Monument of Bewitchment, Safina was able to resist this shock against the soul even if it was only one of the branches. But for Ursula, it's terrifying.

As a person who has changed her body, Ursula's soul is not as stable as a normal person at present, and coupled with this inexplicable force now, her soul seems to be "swinged" out of her body at any time and drift away with the tidal force.

For this reason, Safina, who could sense this situation, not only could not move quickly with her, but also had to spare her energy to help Ursula stabilize her soul at all times. And in such a situation, she even has to keep an eye on the haunting of the enemy.

Yes, that "old man" is a rather intractable enemy, there is no doubt about it. Even now, Safina hasn't actually fought directly with the other party...... No, perhaps that's what makes Safina feel even more threatened.

Because from the seemingly omnipresent magic fluctuations, you can know that the strength of the other party is quite strong - it is such a strong opponent, but it only wanders around, and does not take the initiative to attack for several days, which is the most fatal.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Safina, who was walking by a window with Ursula in her arms, felt a pang in her heart. Because of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently seemed to catch a glimpse of something fleeting in the windowpane.

"Boom!"

"Whoa—"

At that moment, Safina suddenly raised her hand, and black flames rolled in front of the window. The glass was directly shaken open by the shock of energy, and it shattered to the ground, revealing the dark interior behind the glass.

It's just that it's quiet inside, and when you look inside, it's just an ordinary Muggle living room.

Now that the fog has lifted, the vision has become much clearer, but ...... This doesn't seem to be necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, your eyes can deceive.

"Safina, back."

Just as Safina was looking through the window, Ursula suddenly gave a reminder that made her hurry back.

At that moment, she saw a large black oval hole in the brick wall on the other side of the alley, and a thin black claw suddenly poked out of the hole, and was about to reach for Ursula's white and delicate neck.

Seeing this, Safina subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and was grabbed by her arm.

"Ahh

The next moment, an indescribable suction force came from that hand, pulling Safina's soul will like a whale sucking a cow.

It's hard to describe in words, and all Safina can feel is that her consciousness is moving away from her, as if she will fall asleep and be completely unconscious.

Almost subconsciously, a puff of black flame swept up on its own, enveloping her and the hand together. The same black flame for the soul churned, biting at the black, thin arm, and even surging down its hand into the black hole in the wall.

"Roar—"

A low, hoarse roar came from the dark hole, and the claws that held Safina's arm finally let go and retracted like lightning.

In the next second, spiral ripples rippled in the large oval hole, which suddenly shrunk and disappeared, returning to the original appearance of a brick wall. Even the dark green moss on the brick joints is still the same, and one can't help but feel as if everything just now is completely hallucinating, and nothing has happened.

"Safina, you...... You okay? ”

Safina had just asked her that, but now, she asked instead.

"Nothing, don't worry."

Safina shook her head, flicking her newly grabbed arm, feeling a little weak. I saw her casually pick up her sleeve and glance at it, and on her originally smooth forearm, a black handprint was quite shocking.

It seems that the other party's grasp just now is not only an attack on the soul, but also seems to have a lot of damage to the body, so you must be more vigilant.

"It's-"

When Ursula saw it, she couldn't help but feel distressed, but Safina just put down her sleeves without care, waved her hand casually and said:

"It's okay, it's just ...... The rest of the game may have to keep the flame going. ”

Before the words fell, the black flame completely engulfed them again, leaving no trace of it exposed—Safina could have maintained the soul flame for a long time, but it was undoubtedly a drain. With the kind of patience of the enemy, it would be a real problem to linger around the two of them for a few more days.

"We have to find a way to get away from it...... Even if it's just for a moment! ”

Bathed in black flames, Safina said.
