"I still have a question that I haven't figured it out." Lady Isabel asked, "When did the Church become interested in forbidden magic?"

"I think you may have misunderstood." Pastor Paul said, "Although I serve in the Holy See, I am participating in this visit in my personal capacity."

"Oh?" The lady stared into the priest's deep eyes, trying to read the other's intentions in her eyes.

"Ugh." The priest sighed, "I'm entrusted by someone."

"Trusted?"

"An old man from afar. He told me that someone is suffering from the curse of what you called 'Eternity,' which you just called 'Antlania.'"

"How did you find out who Angela is?"

"I don't know." The priest shook his head, "I just know from the old man that if anything happens to Valdrazburg, then this man in shackles will definitely appear."

"So you're here?"

"God will not give up a lost lamb."

The priest clasped his hands together on his chest, looking very reverent.

After the battle just now, Kraken was only slightly injured, and it didn't seem to be weakened in strength.

Bella used her wand to slash in a graceful arc in front of her, and with a pale blue light, the temperature around her began to drop rapidly.

By the time the chant was over, a faint frost had condensed on the surface of the sea.

Water vapor in the vicinity is constantly accumulating, creating a white fog barrier around the Kraken.

Soon, a huge octopus ice sculpture appeared on the surface of the sea.

The Kraken still maintained its posture, and the tentacles in front of it were still slapping the water, as if they had been covered in ice and snow.

To be exact, it is a huge iceberg in its own right.

Due to the difference in the density of the ice water, nine-tenths of the Kraken's body was already submerged in the sea. Only three tentacles and a forehead encrusted with sapphires protrude from the water.

The ice was so solid that it was difficult to even make its roar hear.

"How much longer?" Bella looked back at Hold.

"There's only one left." Holder said, "Hold on a little longer."

Although Elena assisted, the restoration of the building was a domain of earth magic, and the main work had to be done by Holder.

Bella knew that the Kraken's ice would not last long, and if the stalemate continued, the consumption of mana would be very large.

After a while, there was a "click-click-" sound on the sea.

Bella frowned involuntarily.

She had a sense of foreboding.

And this ominous premonition soon came true.

With the sound of ice breaking, the huge octopus resurfaced.

However, at this time, the tentacles on Kraken's body had broken four or five, and the rest were also scarred.

Although it was not completely trapped as expected, it at least had a suppressive effect.

Judging from the current situation, as long as they continue to contain and wait for Holder to restore the magic circle, the chances of winning are still very good.

However, what happened next shocked everyone present, including Isabel and Paul.

The Kraken, the legendary monster of terror, darkness and devouring, is the creator of despair and fear.

Its appearance will only bring death and parting.

Legend has it that it has the ability to destroy the world, and although it cannot land on land, it is the supremacy of the sea.

Legend has it that its roar can pierce the depths of the sea, and its sturdy tentacles can tear sturdy armored ships to shreds in an instant.

Legend has it that it is immune to the four major magics.

Legend has it that it has endless magical powers.

Legend has it that it can come back from the dead.

……

Legends, everything is just legends, no one has seen it with their own eyes, because no one who has seen it has survived.

Now this giant sea monster, a terrifying monster beyond the norm, is beginning to show its true horror.

As the Kraken resurfaced, its infernal red eyes became even more blood-red.

The blue gem on his forehead began to shine brightly.

This light soon covered Kraken's entire body.

It's like a lighthouse that shows the way in the dark.

However, the lighthouse is meant to guide the Lost Wanderers, but this light only leads people into the abyss of despair.

Not long after, after the light dissipated, this huge demonic beast appeared again unscathed.

The severed limbs were repaired, and even the marks of Elena's burns were gone.

It's like it's just coming out at this point, as if nothing has happened.

Immediately afterward, an unprecedented roar spread in all directions, shaking the sea and setting off layers of huge waves.

Several people on the shore covered their ears with their hands, and they could still feel the strong impact of energy.

It was a sense of fear and oppression that went straight to the heart.

"Come back soon." Lady Isabel said.

Bella had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, Holder was still working on the restoration of the last windmill.

"It seems that we have an old bone, and we can't be idle." Lady Isabel laughed to herself.

"God is with you." Pastor Paul followed.

"Protect the children."

The pastor nodded understandingly.

Isabel raised her wand and pointed it to the sky, and the clouds began to change as a series of rapid incantations were chanted.

What was originally just a raging wind now has a unified direction.

Gusts of strong air currents created a whirlwind counterclockwise on the beaches of Theresia.

The huge depression swept up the sand and rocks on the ground, mixed with various unidentified objects, and made the columnar spiral storm bigger and bigger.

Thankfully, the children were able to survive under the shield of Pastor Paul.

Soon, the volume of space covered by the whirlwind had surpassed that of Valdraz Castle, and even rivaled the body of the Kraken.

Due to the violent gas friction and spatial vibration, flashes of lightning continued to appear inside this whirlwind.

Sensing the threat, Kraken quickly shoots out a cloud of black ink, but it doesn't take long for it to be swept into it by a whirlwind and become a part of it.

The big octopus tried several more times, but none of them made it to the shore.

The energy was almost accumulated, and with a wave of Isabel's wand, this powerful tornado, enveloping huge waves, rushed out towards the sea like a huge dragon.

The dragon collided head-on with the monster, stirring up waves hundreds of feet high.

It was as if there was a torrential rain on the shore.

When the tide receded, everyone looked out to sea, and the Kraken was pushed miles away.

Because it is far away, it is not clear whether the other party is injured.

However, even if there is a loss, it will be repaired by the "Stone of Kronos", right?

The most important thing is that valuable time has been bought for the repair of the circle.

However, this is not a lot of time, only a few minutes at most.

Thankfully, Holder was able to complete the task, and the seven windmills were intact.

All that's left is to activate the circle.

But how?

Bella had been thinking about this since before.

According to the instructions on the manuscript fragment, the circle needs to be activated using Valdraz Fort.

But how do you make use of it?

Bella couldn't think of it, and Isabel didn't have a clue.

"It's safe." Duke James breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, "Finally, we can rest for a while." It's a lot harder than dealing with demons."

He had been assisting Mr. Holder in repairing the windmills, and he was really tired.

"Demons? Guardian spirits? - That's right!" Bella suddenly thought.

She hurried to the castle.

If you're not mistaken, the elves of the castle should know how.

But how do you find Valdraz's elves?

Bella stood in front of the gate and thought.

"Time is running out, so it looks like we have to give it a try."

She walked to the wall, spread her right palm, and pressed it against the castle wall.

Bella has had a unique ability to perceive magic since she was a child, and if she uses the characteristics of the guardian spirit, she should be able to find it.

She closed her eyes, calmed down, and concentrated her mental energy, perceiving the structure of the entire castle.

Every floor, every room, every piece of furniture and amenities, even every brick......

As different items, they are separate from each other; But as a structural foundation, they are all part of the castle.

In other words, they may come from different places, but they all have the same destination.

And then—

"There it is."
