The layers of chains of black magical energy surrounded Owen and Sophia, forming a dark magical enchantment, firmly locking the two of them inside, unable to move for half a minute.

"Chain of Darkness" - Sophia and Owen are no strangers to this chaotic dark magic, which is one of the three stunts of the "Warden of Hades" Buyos. And it's no surprise that the Lich King Callowing, once the boss of Buyos, would also use this magic. And in terms of actual effect, the trick "Chain of Darkness" used by Karlovin seems to be authentic.

Because in the previous battle with Buyos, Sophia had discovered that the "Chain of Darkness" was accompanied by a terrible curse that plundered the physical and mental strength of the trapped people, and now in the face of the same magic cast by Karlovin, Sophia clearly felt that her physical and mental strength were lost several times faster than before.

"What are you going to do!" Sophia roared unwillingly, unhesitating to use the most powerful power she could at her disposal.

However, Sophia was surprised to find that her spiritual world was extremely empty, the vast "stigma" divine power was gone, and the Valkyrie soul and her original light magic were as if they were blocked by something, and they could not respond to any of her calls at all.

"How, how could it be ......" Sophia looked at her hands, and a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt before took over her thoughts, a feeling of fear that she was powerless to resist and let herself go.

"Don't try uselessly, little girl. Callowan looked at her weak resistance and said coldly, "That magic array under your ass was not used to activate the 'Life Exchange Ritual' in the first place, but was specially designed to target you. The moment the magic kicks in, your magic and the Valkyrie soul are already cut off. ”

"Despicable!" scolded Sophia.

"There's no way around it, you can even defeat the Vampire Prince, and if you don't limit your strength, how can you obediently not destroy it?"

"What the hell are you trying to do? I warn you, don't do anything wrong!"

"Nonsense?" Hearing these words, the Lich King Callowan couldn't help laughing, "Hmph, saving your life has become a nonsense, what a little girl who doesn't know what to do." ”

As the Lich King spoke, the chain of pitch black that wrapped around the two of them contracted tighter and tighter, and it didn't take long for Sophia and Owen to be completely blocked.

Realizing that the other party was trying to take the weakened Owen away from her, Sophia went crazy and slashed at the pitch-black chains around her with two short swords. However, without the blessings of magic, the soul of the Valkyrie, and the divine power of the "stigmata", pure brute force alone could not shake the pitch-black chain of hardness comparable to steel, Rao is Sophia was sweating profusely, her arms were weak, and her mouth was oozing blood, but she could not stop the chain of darkness from separating her from Owen further and further.

"Old you, you dare to touch a hair of Owen!" Sophia, who had nothing to do, could only make a feeble threat to the Lich King Callowe, who had everything in his hands.

However, Karlovan was calm, not at all affected by Sophia, who gritted her teeth, and still commanded the chain of darkness to drag Owen farther and farther away.

"Don't struggle for no point, stinky girl, you can't stop anything. Suddenly, an old, hoarse voice rang out behind Sophia.

Sophia quickly turned her head, only to find that there was a sweet-looking and delicate little girl standing behind her.

"Ahh......h Sophia knew or had seen this little girl, and cast a great shadow on her heart, once in the Restorationist camp, that eerie night when everyone was "pressed by ghosts", Sophia and Alice were almost disemboweled, and this seemingly harmless little girl was disemboweled.

However, at this time, Emilia just stood by and watched her quietly, although she was full of hostility, she did not show any murderous intent towards Sophia. This calmed Sophia's mood a little after a brief period of horror.

However, after calming down, Sophia discovers that the Emilia she sees now is very different from the Emilia she saw in the Avenger camp before. In the past, although Emilia was cruel, she was also a flesh-and-blood entity, but now this Emilia gave Sophia a sense of nothingness, only to see that Amelia's body was translucent, and her breath was just a residual energy, obviously she had become a spirit body that had lost her body. She stared at Sophia with cold eyes, full of disgust and disdain.

Although the ghostly Emilia was no longer able to pose a threat to Sophia, the eerie feeling she exuded still made Sophia numb.

The Chain of Darkness dragged Owen all the way out of the magic circle's range of effect, which made Sophia suddenly see that things were not as simple as she thought. Owen also sensed that something was wrong, and the Lich King Callovan didn't seem to have any intention of exchanging his life for Sophia from the beginning.

As if seeing the confusion between the two, Karlovin snorted coldly and said, "Two self-righteous children who don't know the sky. You're running out of time, and you think she'll be able to live a few more days if you give your life to this girl?"

"This ......" Owen actually considered such a problem at first, but with the mentality that Sophia could live one more day, Owen still agreed to the method of extending Sophia's life with a "life exchange ceremony".

It's just that now it seems that the plan that the Lich King has decided on a long time ago seems to be very different from his own plan.

"The life exchange still has to go on, but the real sacrifice is not the stinky boy who has nothing, but us. Emilia answered Sophia and Owen's questions for Karloving.

"It's a waste to exchange the lives of the stigmatas with ordinary people. Therefore, the most ideal object for the stigmata to change his life is naturally also the stigmata. The Lich King Callowen explained to Sophia as he walked to the execution rack.

"Stigmata??"

"Do you think you still really don't understand? The Lich King himself is a stigmata, and it's only because of his incomplete soul that he has been unable to exert his original 'stigma' divine power. He sacrificed me and restored my original identity as a stigmata, but I didn't expect that in the end it would just be a stepping stone to your achievement!"

Hearing this, Sophia finally understood what the disgust and contempt for her in Amelia's eyes were.

It's not hard to understand why it's happening. A magic array can seal her light magic and Valkyrie's soul, but it will never be sealed along with the "stigmata" divine power, unless the caster is also a stigmata himself. It is impossible to give up the "life exchange ceremony" halfway, but the person who really wants to change Sophia's life is not Owen, but the Lich King Callowe.

Until everything was ready, Karlovin couldn't tolerate the slightest interference, so he scrapped Sophia and Owen ahead of time.

"Come on, Amilia, let's finish the rest of the business, and then we can rest well. By the time he said this, Karlovin was already on the execution rack,

Emilia didn't reply, she closed her eyes and was silent. Not because she hesitated, but because she finally savored the world. Then, Emilia opened her eyes, and the spirit floated towards Karlovan on the execution rack, completely merging into his body.
