Chapter 4: The Trial of the Successor, Section 5
Evelyn lay flat on her bed, her limbs trembling slightlyβfear might have consumed her ten years ago.
Maritia looked at Evelyn calmly, she had noticed the presence of the blood magic spirit when she spotted Claude, and although it was only a faint breath, it was not a problem to find the source of this ominous sign with her ability.
Kayla...... Don't you want to stop playing this kind of vulgar game......"
Maritia's voice was low, more like regret and helplessness. Her right hand stroked Evelyn's forehead, then closed her eyes.
"It seems that there is no way to eradicate it...... This young elf is not yet able to resist such a magnitude of the evil curse......"
Maritia sighed, then recited an ancient incantation in an obscure language. Her body began to glow slightly, and the memories of Evelyn's heart, surrounded by a deep shade of blood, gradually became clear in her vision......
The pool of blood gradually calmed down, and little Claude, who was crying in Kayla's arms, also quieted down.
In the container in Kayla's hand filled with Evelyn's blood, the blue blood was gone, replaced by a special red gas. She sighed into the bottle, and the blood-colored mist gradually coalesced to form a unique lid on the bottle, blocking the overflow of the gas inside the bottle.
Kayla satisfactorily pocketed the container, the old wooden box full of bottles that vanished into thin air with a wave of her hand.
"The contract has been signed. The High Elves, the purest souls, are very exciting. This is the first, good start......" Kayla looked at the pool of blood quietly, her expression a little complicated.
Bubbles began to bubble on the surface of the quiet blood pool, and dark hair gradually became clear in the blood pool. Evelyn walked slowly out of the pool of blood, covered in blood-like viscous fluid that had slipped off by inertia.
Evelyn stood quietly on the edge of the pool of blood, her long hair half-curled to black, dragging down to her waist and obscuring her face. Fair and delicate skin, delicate breasts, slender limbs......
Sure enough, it's Kayla's "masterpiece"! Maritia is no stranger to what is happening in front of her. It was because of this evil act that Jana and Maritia imprisoned the old friend. Now it seems that this fallen elf has not given up on breaking free.
"What a work of art......" Kayla looked at the "work" in front of her with satisfaction, fascinated and admired.
Evelyn pulled the hair back of her head, her already delicate appearance seemed to make all the opposite sex in the world fall down at this moment.
In the deep eyes are a pair of blood-red pupils, and the dark eyeshadow adds a bit of charm to her. Her moist and full lips under the bridge of her tall nose were bloodless, and the completely changed hair color was a sign that she had completely changed. She looked at her body expressionlessly, slowly clenched her fists and relaxed into palms, the curve of her chest rising and falling regularly with her breathing.
"I seem to ...... I can't feel my heartbeat......" Evelyn was surprisingly calm.
Kayla showed her the container and replied, "Here." β
Evelyn looked for prestige, and as Kayla had said, the red gas in the small container was rhythmically moving.
Those who have signed an exchange contract with the Lord of the Blood Pool, after the erosion of the Blood Pool, the reflection of the soul will appear in the form of red gas in Kayla's bottle. As the essence blood is consumed, the gas in the bottle will gradually change to the color of the contractor's soul. When the contractor's life is exhausted, what remains in the bottle will completely become the color of his soul, and at that time, it also means that the contractor's body will completely lose its soul and eventually become a blood ghost, both of which belong to the contractor completely.
"As you wished, I have done as you asked. Maybe you can tell me how long I can live?" Evelyn's tone was cold, she hated Kayla at the moment, but she didn't show it at all.
"I don't know, or rather, it's all up to you, my charming little pet. Kayla walked around Evelyn, carefully admiring every detail of her masterpiece, "The amount of blood in your body determines your lifespan. Every time you use blood magic, it consumes your essence blood, I told you. Of course, you can also choose to use the blood of other creatures, so you have more time to ......"
"It's ridiculous to think that I'm going to turn my back on the creed of the Elven Swordsman. So, let these words be dispensed with. β
A hint of disgust flashed in Evelyn's eyes, and Kayla shook her head in oblivion as she continued, "Tut-tut, I don't think you understand that you are no longer an elf now...... You can call yourself a blood elf. It has the power of the dark elves, the wisdom of the light elves, and the power of blood magic, which is different from those of the lower creatures. You are you, my proudest work right now. β
"That's enough, you wait for me to lose my life, and I have endless time to nag slowly. Evelyn interrupted.
Evelyn still held to the path of light magic in her heart, and although it was in some sense contrary to this moment, she could not convince herself spiritually and fall for it. Kayla's words were true, and Evelyn could feel the strength in her body and the desire she had never seen before. She understands that although her body has undergone earth-shaking changes, no matter what, there is still a scale of good and evil in her heart.
"Okay. Time means nothing to me anyway, and I just have to watch your soul change until you are completely mine. Hum hum hum ......" Kayla responded with a sneer, the laughter chilling.
"Lend you 'auspicious words', and you can wait here. It's time for me to take him out of this ominous land. Evelyn took little Claude from Kayla's hand and lifted the Starlight Sword, "Now, please let me go." β
"Don't worry, I think you should thank me. At least for now, the Prophet of the Digans can't catch you at all, Evelyn. Kayla raised an eyebrow, and out of thin air she pulled out a black cloak and a black book and handed it to Evelyn, "Why, you just went out like this? β
Evelyn glanced at the ancient blood mage she hated so much, and as she said, Iseka was indeed a pimple in Evelyn's heart. Kayla said that it was not impossible for Kayla to "catch" her movements, after all, her entire body had changed dramatically, and the reason why Iseka was able to control her movements in the past was nothing more than to record some information about her. This kind of magic is profound, but it is not obscure.
Evelyn took the cloak from her hand and put it on, put the starlight sword on her back, pointed to the somewhat wrinkled black book and asked, "What is this, teach me how to be your 'pet'?"
There was sarcasm in her words.
"An ancient spell that opens a portal to the outside world. Kayla replied, "There's time to learn how to be my pet later." β
"Where does the portal lead?"
"Queen City, you can use it to come back to me. Kayla shrugged, "I don't think you're too willing to come back to me, though." β
It was this spell that Iseka had used before. The method of opening the portal is in the hands of a very small number of mages or prophets. Obviously, even after obtaining the power of blood magic, Evelyn was still unable to activate this ancient and scarce magic on her own.
Queen City is the most special city in the entire Eastern Continent, the real capital of freedom. All races can live there, and the people there never need to worry about being threatened. The only light of the goddess Cana on the entire continent was there, and it was not the leaders of the Digor or Lonellan who ruled the city, but the vast majority of people of all races who were truly free and peaceful. Of course, there is also the most authoritative academy in the entire continent, the Temple of Glory. It is the oldest city on this road, and even now, no one dares to invade the queen city easily.
Being able to get past the surveillance of Atlantis City and Nightglow Valley to reach the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent would undoubtedly be of great help to Evelyn. The city of queens is undoubtedly a huge umbrella, at least for now, even Atlantis City does not dare to desecrate the city of queens.
Although she didn't have a crush on the fallen Elder Elf mage, this item was something she desperately needed at the moment.
"Thank you. Evelyn thanked Kayla as she took the spell book from Kayla.
Kayla waved her hand and said, "It's fair that you traded your soul and eternity for it." Although I would prefer that you use up your essence and blood sooner and come back to me. But for now, you'd better get the chorework done first, I'm not interested in babies. The next time you come, remember someone. Don't, baby!"
Kayla emphasized.
Evelyn opened the magic book and recited an ancient incantation, the power of blood-colored magic emanating from her palm, holding the book in mid-air, and then, a strange light emanated between the pages, drawing an elliptical outline in the air.
As she opened the portal, Evelyn noticed that Kayla seemed to be aware, and that there seemed to be too much emotion hidden behind her smile. But this was fleeting in Evelyn's mind, for the ancient mage was already insane.
The difference between three hundred years and thousands of years is not a half, not to mention that Evelyn has sold all her souls to her. The moment she walked out of the pool of blood, Evelyn already felt something strange in her heart, and leaving quickly was her main thought at the moment. This wicked place had given her too many black memories.
"It seems that I have been affected by this depraved and evil magic, and I would care about the emotions of a blood mage?
Evelyn laughed to herself.
Kayla stared at the vanishing portal, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Elena, I'm not dead. The fire of vengeance will find you!You'll know eventually......"
"I'm right here. β
Maridia's voice suddenly became clear, and Evelyn couldn't help but follow the voice, the shimmering figure looked out of place in this blood-red world.
"You, you're ......"
Evelyn's mind buzzed, and the world around her began to shake violently once more, as if it were about to collapse.
"Marithea, Maridia!" Kayla's expression was as fierce as a devil, her voice tingling Evelyn's eardrums.
"Evelyn, Kayla in front of you is nothing but a nightmare in your heart, come to me. β
Maritia didn't pay attention to the screaming Kayla, she watched Evelyn the whole time and reached out to her.
"Don't fall into the abyss of fear, you always stand on this side of the Light!"
"Holy Light ......"
Evelyn murmured, the warm glow spreading, and the blood-colored world behind her began to shrink until it was far away in a corner. Although she could still feel the presence of the vortex, it didn't matter anymore.
Evelyn...... Evelyn ......"
"Who? Who's calling me?"
Evelyn Starlight ...... Don't forget who you are......
