"Alexander, what's in it for you? You don't even hesitate to use your soul as a one-time consumable to keep me here, how long do you think you can keep me here? As long as you are completely unconscious, not only will I be able to immediately regain control of your body, but even your soul will be completely available to me......"

In the dark space of consciousness at the beginning, Ens was constantly scolding angrily, but he never received any response.

To be honest, in fact, even Alexander himself probably didn't expect that he, who was provoked by Ens at that time, would be able to exert a power that he didn't expect at all.

At that moment, his furious soul rushed out of the obstacle in the agitation, and then he was entangled with the "half" soul of Enns, forcibly dragged back to the place that seemed to be forever.

However, even half of Enns's soul, which had been amplified by Helpo himself, was quite powerful. If you want to control it, Alexander's soul power under normal circumstances alone is not enough.

So at first, Enns, who had been dragged into the darkness by Alexander, was able to struggle again to break free from the former's entanglement after the initial shock had passed.

Still, he apparently muttered about Alexander's determination this time.

Alexander also doesn't know soul magic, and he doesn't even know much about souls, but that doesn't stop him from trying to fight hard.

After realizing that he might not even be able to die with the other party with his current strength alone, he began to be ruthless, and he instinctively increased the strength of his spiritual power through the increase of anger, and indirectly increased the strength of his soul in this way.

Yes, this is a fairly primitive way to increase the power of the soul.

In fact, not only "anger", but also other things such as "jealousy", "arrogance", etc., can also affect the soul and increase according to the degree of understanding of these human elements.

Unfortunately, since Alexander had no way of knowing these rules about the soul, he would not have known that excessive use of this method to stimulate soul power "clumsily" would inevitably result in the depletion of spiritual power.

That's right, it's the same nature of Maca's overuse of rule magic during the fight with Helbo, which resulted in a coma.

But unlike Maca, Alexander's soul is very ordinary, and he doesn't have the same great spiritual recovery ability as Maca.

What's more, in order to keep Enns' soul in the darkness for as long as possible, so that it would not take control of his body again and go to Helbo, his mental power was undoubtedly consumed all the time.

As Ens said just now, over time, Alexander, who is extremely mentally overdrawn, is very likely to cause permanent damage to his brain, so that he will lose consciousness completely.

“…… Alexander! Speak! I know you're at least conscious for now, so don't you think about considering what I just proposed? If you're willing to let me out, I'll let you back when I find another body, and I won't hand you over to Helpo! ”

But this time, instead of waiting for Alexander's response, Ens suddenly heard another voice that he probably didn't want to hear again in his life.

"Don't worry, don't look for another body, I'll release you soon."

"McLean!"

……

The moment the "half" of Alexander's body suddenly heard Maca's voice, it was also the time when Maca leaned over to examine Alexander.

Alexander is still in a specious state of syncope, but he can't actually call it a "syncope" because his consciousness is still active.

Of course, I'm probably already a little unconscious right now.

"Anyway, let's drink this first!"

After learning about Alexander's state, Maca quickly ignored Enns' noise and poured the potion he had just concocted directly into the other party's mouth.

"It will take a while for the drug to be fully effective...... But seriously, Hermione, you really don't need to follow along. You see, Alexander is here with me, and he'll be fine! Listen to me, let's go to bed early! ”

He casually put aside the wooden bowl that temporarily contained the potion in his hand, and shrugged helplessly as he looked at Hermione, who had come with him.

Hermione finally nodded after hearing Maca's suggestion to let her go back to her room again.

"Okay...... See you tomorrow morning. ”

He watched as Hermione left the room, closed the door, and then faded away with a series of footsteps. Maka then turned around and looked at Alexander on the bed again.

He hadn't fooled Hermione this time, because Alexander's situation was really not a big problem. However, Enns's state is not a small problem, his soul has been torn into two parts, and it seems that both parts have self-consciousness at the same time.

Now that Maca, who has studied the rules of the soul more and more, she can't help but have a headache about Ens's condition.

Just as Maca sat on the edge of the bed, pondering for a moment what to do with Enns's problem, a wave of magic suddenly spread out of Alexander's body in front of him.

Seeing this, he immediately let go of the doubts that needed to be considered later, and stretched out his hand to Alexander's forehead. Then, I saw him inspect it from top to bottom.

The potion just now had obviously restored the other party's mental power.

"Alexander?"

Maca's figure resounded in Alexander's consciousness space, and now, Ens, who had been shouting before, had firmly closed his mouth.

Yes, he really wanted to talk to Alexander again, but he obviously didn't dare to talk to Maca.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that Alexander, who had never paid attention to Ens before, finally spoke after hearing Maka's voice.

"Teach...... Confer? ”

"Well," said Maca, "don't cower inside, follow my lead!" There's a lot of work to do out there, but there's not that much time for you to 'sleep'! ”

As he spoke, Maca reached out and shook it in front of Alexander, and the power of the soul rules instantly extended into the depths of the opponent's sea of consciousness.

At the same time, Maca paused for a moment, and then turned to say:

"And Ens, it's time for you to come out and stay in someone else's body all the time, I think you've had enough of it, right?"

Before the words fell, Maka's gesture changed slightly, and she turned her palm into a claw and pulled it out of thin air. At that moment, Ens only felt that there was a huge force that could not resist suddenly, and it directly pulled him out.
