Destroyed himself
No~ My body was obviously recovering, but I stopped myself at the critical moment, in order to not break the rules I set and not violate my distorted obsession, no matter what. Any choice goes to the most extreme side.
El Cid walked silently to the body of Kuraus, looking at the indistinguishable rotten flesh and blood on the ground. There was no disgust or joy in the eyes of the Capricorn Golden Saint, only heaviness and regret. It was clear that his nature was not the same. Not evil, but his mind was twisted by the devil to do these extreme things, but in the end he still protected the twisted obsession called 'justice' in his heart. Perhaps at this last moment, he can also be described as a hero. Be a man.
"I really don't know what to say to this guy. He obviously didn't need to do that. He's such an idiot┉┉" Kaludia also restrained her cynicism and said with an expression of regret and regret.
Elshid also sighed silently, looking at the miserable end of Kuraus. Although he wanted to bury him, his group did not have the time now. Looking at the guards who were knocked unconscious, Elshid Deya didn't want to embarrass them but called everyone to take Athena and prepare to leave.
As for those prisoners who seemed to have lost their minds and emotions, El Cid had no choice but to temporarily send the situation back to Princess Haidee, allowing Her Highness the Princess to find a way to clean up the domestic mess.
In the lake outside the prison, Alexis has stopped attacking. There was a strong power of the abyss in the West District Prison just now, but this power of the abyss was not enough to allow the powerful demon to descend directly to the main material plane. In the picture, it seemed that a certain cultist was using sorcery to gain part of the devil's power to fight against El Cid and others. However, the power of the abyss gradually dissipated, and the power of the abyss that was originally shrouded in the West District Prison was revealed. The barrier of the warehouse also began to gradually collapse, and Selian's spiritual consciousness invaded it and got the news that El Cid and others were safe.
After learning that it was inconvenient for El Cid and others to take the unconscious rescue target by water, Princess Haidee's spies immediately made arrangements for the group to escape from the collapsed wall on one side of the prison. They originally thought it would be difficult. The heavy task turned out to be very simple under Alexis's firepower. Most of the guards were either killed or hid in the building. Along the way, El Cid and others left the prison almost unimpeded.
After confirming that El Cid and others boarded the ship without incident, Alexis took Selian and left the place temporarily. The power of the abyss that permeated the lake island prison had completely spread. It is estimated that it will not be long before the gods notice it, and the Holy City will naturally send personnel to deal with it in the future.
Now that the Saints are involved in such unrelated matters, Alexis is a little helpless. The White Dragon Guards always give priority to the execution of orders given by Yalin. If possible, Alexis hopes that Elcide The others quickly ended their stay in Zegus Kingdom and headed to Youxuan Grassland. After all, not only members of the Holy City but also members of the Holy See were involved, which was a dangerous factor for their group.
But Alexis was not too far away from El Cid and the others. After finding a secluded place to rest, Alexis began to try to repair the malfunctioning communication magic device in her hand. However, at dawn, Silver Saint Alubioni found Alexis. Sibi hopes to turn to the experienced White Dragon Guards for help.
"The female knight still hasn't recovered her consciousness?"
"Yes, even though she woke up, Athena still didn't seem to get rid of that weird state after learning that Kuraus was dead. She looked like she was about to collapse."
Alubioni's tone seemed helpless. After Athena woke up and learned that Kuraus was dead, she felt as if she had lost her soul in despair. No matter what the Saints said, she couldn't listen, not even Haidee. It was useless for the princess to talk to Athena herself through the communication magic device.
"Fernandi is the Lord of Chaos and is good at bewitching and confusing people's hearts. To be honest, I don't know much about the power of the Lord of Chaos, but the female knight is most likely to have her mind distorted by the power of the abyss. If you want to make her It's best to go back to normal and seek help from the priests of the Holy City." Alexis paused for a moment, but finally gave an answer.
If possible, Alexis does not want the Saints to seek too much help from the Holy Capital. No matter whether the two sides are cooperating or not, the Holy Capital will always be the biggest enemy of the White Dragon King Yalin.
Alubioni nodded but said awkwardly: "But now Athena's situation may not be able to survive until the priest arrives. The girl seems to have lost the courage to continue to survive."
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help. Bailong is not good at matters in the spiritual field."
"Is it okay to use potion?"
"Fernandi's power affects the spirit, not the body. The purification potion is useless."
Just when the troubled Alubioni was about to leave, Selian, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said: "Why don't you let me try┉┉"
In an instant, Alexis glared at Selian. The powerful dragon's power was aimed at the dark elf girl and issued an invisible warning. Selian, who suddenly realized that she had overstepped her identity, quickly fell silent. Even without Alexis's warning of dragon power, Selian could feel that the soul contract that bound her was about to move.
But these words have already been heard by the Cepheus Silver Saint: "Do you have any idea?"
“┉┉┉┉”
For a moment, Selian didn't dare to answer, so she had to maintain a strange silence to deal with Alubioni.
Alexis frowned slightly, because Yalin had ordered that there are some things in Ulduar City that some friends should not know. As a white dragon guard, Alexis knew that Selian's identity was also included in in. In order to avoid Alubioni becoming suspicious, Alexis finally secretly allowed Celian to answer.
Selian, who breathed a sigh of relief, did not dare to say another word this time to answer Alubioni's question. As a dark elf, Selian once served as the chief priest of the Spider Queen, and the Spider Queen was good at it. A large part of her magic also works on the spiritual side. Although most of them are despicable evil magic that controls and confuses people's hearts, Selian is also very familiar with all kinds of spiritual magic. After abandoning darkness and turning to light, she was chosen to become a priest of Eilistraee, the goddess of the moon. Selian was fortunate enough to learn more about the spiritual realm, and was even allowed to practice in the Emerald Dream for a period of time.
This time, after learning that the female knight was bewitched by Fernandi's power, Selian boldly volunteered herself. Although she was controlled by the White Dragon King, even though the other party was a subordinate of the Dragon King. But at any rate, the other party was helping the Holy City fight against the demons of the Twisting Nether by mistake. Selian felt that she could help the Holy City more at this time and atone for the big mistake she made when she was controlled by the Dragon King. .
In the end, Selian followed Alubioni back to the spy station, while Alexis remained hidden and monitored.
After rescuing Athena, Princess Haidee's spies had their greatest trust in the Saints. No one questioned Selian's arrival, and soon Selian, accompanied by the Saints, met Athena, who was temporarily imprisoned in the hidden basement of the station.
The female knight looked haggard, as if she was in despair, sitting on the bed and just mumbling to herself, even if Celiane opened the cell door and walked in. Athena still sat there without any reaction.
"She is like this now. No matter how we call her, it is useless." A spy at the station said helplessly.
"The cultists' fascination with her has not been completely eliminated. These evil forces are still twisting and gnawing at her mind. If this force is not eliminated, her spirit will not be able to return to normal."
"Do you have any idea?"
Selian nodded and then ordered: "I will do my best. Now please go out for a while."
There was silence for a moment. Although the spies were suspicious of Selian, who was covered in robes that covered her body and even had a veil on her face, they were introduced by the Saints. Now they could only let this person go. An unidentified woman came to try to see if she could restore the head of the Princess's bodyguard knights to normal.
"Please be careful. If something unexpected happens, call us immediately and we will guard the door."
After exiting, the spies closed the cell door smoothly. Selian glanced at her side. Although she couldn't see her figure, she knew very well that Alexis, the white dragon, was watching her from the side.
Not daring to waste time, Celiane hurriedly stepped forward and gently touched Athena's temple. She recited a mantra silently, and a silver light appeared on Celiane's fingertips. In an instant, the girl's consciousness gradually penetrated into Athena's body. Countless images came back to me in my consciousness. The memory of the female knight was clearly visible to Celiane at this moment.
Found it┉┉
Selian soon found a twist in Athena's memory. Athena was born in a family of knights in the Kingdom of Zegus since she was a child, and this family was surprisingly a large family that fought with the founding emperor. Under strict tutoring, even Athena, who was born as a girl, grew up into a noble female knight who would not be inferior to men.
Athena, who had been close friends with Princess Haidee since childhood, became the princess's close friend. After Princess Haidee was placed in the position of heir to the throne by her father, she was even signaled by her family to befriend the princess. However, the female knight was somewhat exposed to many dark sides in various overt and covert battles, but these dark sides were dominated by chaos. The power was amplified, and Athena's original obsession to protect Princess Haidee and become queen was overwhelmed by the deliberately amplified twisted sense of 'justice', and this twisted sense of justice happened to resonate with the same twisted justice of Kuraus , making Athena regard Kuraus as the only friend in the world who can understand her.
"Hey~"
Celiane sighed. Now that the reason is known, the next step is to restore Athena's distorted will to normal. However, there is one thing that Selian is not sure about, and that is whether Athena can fully restore her ideals is still unknown, because she was consumed by the chaos master. Ernandi's people who distorted their minds all stem from their own inner desires. This is neither false nor tampered with memory. Even if it recovers, it will be like twisted steel. Even if it is twisted back, it will inevitably not be absolute. Return to the original state, because no one can deny their own heart
The extent to which she can recover depends on whether Athena's own will is strong enough. (~^~)
