Liu Xiao's magic enveloped me, and the girl's soul burrowed into my form like a ghost. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In an instant, I was able to use my kinship with me to become one with my spirit and consciousness.

'Come, call Elle, open the soul link between the two of you'

'Hmm'

Just like usual, feeling the emotions that flowed from Ellie's side, grasping this real connection between us.

A never-ending passage connects the two of us, allowing Elle and me to share each other's hearts and pain.

Only this time, I was so powerless that I couldn't even share the burden......

'I'm sorry, Ellie......'

‘...... Fool ......'

Ellie's response, as usual, made me feel warm and fulfilled, and if I were to lose that voice, I would probably be swallowed up by loneliness and loss, and lose joy and happiness forever......

Liu Xiao's soul groped along the passage between me and Ellie.

All of this was foreign to her, and the magic she used was nothing more than a deception and disguise, but the girl was trying her best to spy on Ellie's soul.

Do it for me......

The soul link between Elle and me began to grow weaker and weaker.

The little one is back to sleep again.

"Liu Xiao, come back quickly, you will be locked up over there."

Wow -

Suddenly he opened his eyes, and realized that the magic was over.

"Whew-"

Liu Xiao exhaled a long breath, as if he had been holding his breath during the magic just now.

"Liu Xiao, you girl is too messy, what if you can't come back just now?"

"Hehe, then I'm not going to be one with Ellie, it's a good thing for me"

Liu Xiao smiled mysteriously.

"How's it going, do you know something?"

Looking at Liu Xiao's expression, it seems that she has already reached a conclusion.

"Well, it's a terrific trap indeed"

What did Corlius do to get such a high evaluation from Liu Xiao?

"Tell me, tell me about it?"

Timia finally took back her hair from Elle, and now she was combing her long golden hair, but she couldn't help but be curious, and asked Liu Xiao vigorously.

"This magic called Snow Mountain is actually unleashed against Ellie alone"

"Huh?"

"Well, it's not accurate, this magic is actually aimed at a holy artifact."

"A holy relic?"

！！

I finally understood why Ellie had lost her magic and fallen into a deep sleep.

"Sleeping Volcano!"

"yes, that's it"

Liu Xiao continued.

"Princess Elle is housed with scorched earth spirits, bringing great magical power and devastating heat."

"In order to prevent Ellie from being swallowed by the Scorched Earth Elve, the Elves of the Dawn Mountains used the holy artifact 'Sleeping Volcano' to forcibly trap the vitality of the Scorched Earth Elves"

"This is precisely the reason why Ellie was unable to actively release the scorched earth spirit's strongest magic, 'Scorched Earth'."

"And now this snow-capped mountain magic is constantly boosting the power of the holy relic 'Sleeping Volcano'"

"The power of this holy relic has become so powerful that even Ellie's magical origin has been cut off."

Such a simple truth, I never thought of it!

"So...... That...... What will happen to Ellie?"

That's the one thing I'm most afraid to know, because I already have a vague sense of the answer.

"Just as a sudden loss of a lot of blood can cause shock, it's a very bad thing for Elle to lose a lot of her magic."

"If the power of the Sleeping Volcano doesn't wane in time, we'll lose the chance to wake up Elle forever"

"She'll sleep like this until she exhausts her last of her magic, and then ......"

Liu Xiao hesitated whether to say it or not.

"And then it will die like any ordinary creature"

When these words came out of my mouth, it was like a knife blade, and it made my throat ache.

There is no need for Liu Xiao to say anything to make her sad, after all, I already know the ending.

"And how long will her magic last?"

Timia asked with concern.

“...... Very few ......"

As I answered this question, my heart began to beat like crazy.

"In normal times, the mana consumed by this snowfield can be completely ignored by Ellie."

"But now her massive mana is like it's frozen, and it's unusable, and the surrounding snowfields are still speeding up her mana drain."

"If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid the remaining magic will ...... Can't stay up tonight."

Every time my heart beats, it hurts sharply.

"Why don't you use teleportation magic to escape ......?"

Halfway through Liu Xiao's speech, he immediately understood the current situation.

The great magic maintained by Corlius disrupted the flow of magic throughout the Satie Emirate.

Not even the teleportation magic unleashed by Timia's Patron Elves did not work smoothly.

"By the way, little girl, how did you teleport here?"

Timia still had hope for Liu Xiao.

"I'm because ...... Mespier's pursuit magic was unleashed on my brother in advance, so he was able to teleport accurately......"

In other words, the entire Satie Emirate has become a huge insect trap that can only enter and not exit.

What else can be done......

There has to be a way......

The problem is that the remaining mana on Ellie's body is being consumed by her surroundings.

Even if you use some way to transfer mana to Ellie, it will only be frozen and consumed immediately in this snowfield, which is completely pointless.

So the most important thing is to leave this place, but you can't teleport.

And once you get out of the hideout, or use a slightly larger amount of magic, you may be discovered and besieged by the surrounding Satie chiefs.

Now that Elle's magical powers have been lost, a single Satie Sheikh can kill us both.

And Princess Timia's state is difficult to even protect herself, let alone cover me and Ellie.

Even if Mespier could teleport in with thousands of troops, Corlius would be able to kill Ellie as long as he used enchantment magic to delay time.

......

I could even feel the sweat on my forehead rushing out, and I couldn't find any way to do it with all my wisdom.

Every second I think about it loses a point of Ellie's life.

Are you kidding!

That little guy who is so alive and jumping, who has always had too much energy, who never thinks about the consequences of doing things, and who just uses the big magic that destroys the city when his head is hot, which gives me a headache and makes me fall in love, has only a few hours of life left?

That's how Ellie ...... Little by little in my arms, and I can't do anything!?

"Brother......

Liu Xiao gently pinched my shoulder.

I noticed that tears were pouring out of my eyes and falling on Ellie, who was in my arms.

The sweat on the little guy's body was already freezing cold, and the last bit of temperature on Ellie's body was gradually draining.

Whether it is the usual pair of ill-intentioned eyes, or the corners of the playful mouth, and the immature little hands, they have now lost their blood color and become as pale as snow.

Oh, my God......

I have felt powerless and helpless many times before, but it was more of a remorse for myself.

And now, I'm sincerely hoping that if there is any way in the world to save Ellie, please tell me.

No matter what the price, I'm willing to pay.

Only the smiling face of this little guy in my arms is a treasure I definitely don't want to lose.

'Ellie'

'Hey'

The soul link was as cold as if it were frozen, and my voice had begun to freeze before it could be delivered.

The feeling of sadness spread out of my heart and soaked all my internal organs.

I did my best to keep Ellie close to my body, hoping to warm her up a little, but even if I couldn't do anything like that, I couldn't warm her.

The little one was in my arms, so close to me, under my gaze, little by little......

"Brother"

Liu Xiao's voice was full of grievances, but there was no sadness.

"There's one last way"
