This is a very sophisticated trap. It is not a puzzle that appears directly, nor is it directly lethal. Others cannot rescue it, and even with the passage of time, the space that was forcibly shattered by the ritual will return to normal.
But they couldn't wait here, because there must be other creatures in this area. If a fish or a wild beast drinking by the water made too much noise, something terrible would surely appear in the broken space.
Although the two sides were hostile, since they had already cooperated, it didn't matter if they did it a second time. Moreover, the conversation between Xia De and the devil just now was full of strange information, and the two brothers did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with this "elder":
"We are willing to cooperate. We are on the same side in fighting against our ancestors."
"Don't do it."
Xia De could see that Megan was in a very bad condition, so he warned her worriedly, and then said to the two brothers:
"Let's solve the problem quickly. I'll cast a spell to stabilize the surrounding space, and then you can use your ability to lock space to secure a safe way out. Once we're out, we'll seal off the surroundings together to prevent anything from breaking in before the space is completely stabilized."
"No problem, uncle, please cast the spell."
Being called "uncle" made Xia De feel strange, but the silver cat nodded anyway, then jumped off Megan's shoulder and turned into a young and handsome man.
This was the first time that the two brothers saw Shade's disguised human face up close, but before they could feel it further, Shade had already carried Megan on his back. The witch blushed and stuck to his back, too embarrassed to say anything.
Xia De said to the two brothers apologetically:
"My sister's level of ring warlock and soul resistance are much lower than mine. The demon just now had a big impact on her. Let me carry her on my back. It won't be a problem."
The two brothers didn't say much. When Shade pulled the key from his chest to reveal the staff, they also dug out the fake eyes from their eye sockets. The two fake eyes were just ordinary objects, but when they left the eye sockets, Shade clearly felt that the dark eye sockets were filled with special power.
"Their spatial talent is more reflected in their eyes. The fact that they didn't treat their blind eyes doesn't seem to be just because of the doctor's special methods back then."
Xia De thought in his heart, and then reminded the two:
"Ready, three, two, one! Stable space!"
Megan hugged Shad's neck tightly, and Shad held the staff with both hands and smashed it into the water. The bottom of the staff touched the water surface under his feet, and the shaking ripples instantly covered the entire water area.
With the help of "Strong Spatial Perception", the spatial stabilization aura stabilized the fragile space with a force far beyond its original level, and even made the two brothers who were preparing to cast a spell feel that their own strength stagnated for a moment.
The effect of "Strong Spatial Perception" was better than Shade had imagined. He even "saw" the most stable area in the surrounding fragile space:
“This way!”
Pointing to the left, the two brothers put their hands together, but this time they closed their normal eyes and aimed their blind eyes at the frame, and the frame formed by their fingers immediately moved in the direction pointed by Xia De.
Kacha~
The inaudible sound was caught by four people at the same time, and ripples spread on the water surface, but only on the left side, an extremely narrow, long strip of ripple-free area appeared. This meant that in the space stabilized by the "space stability halo", a channel that was almost completely restored to normal had actually appeared.
Kacha~
The figures of the two brothers shattered like glass. As large pieces of mirror fragments fell onto the water, they appeared outside the space shattering area. At the same time, Shad, who was carrying Megan, looked in the only safe direction, then took a step forward, used "Ragray's Leap", and also left the danger zone with Megan on his back.
I thought I still had to deal with the dangers in this area, but after all four people left, the broken space was repaired in an instant, as if everything was just an illusion.
The subsequent cleanup work was much simpler, and they also found very hidden traces of rituals in the underwater mud. This meant that all of this was really arranged by the thirteen-ring fortune teller half a century in advance.
The Edwards were all in a heavy mood. After the two brothers thanked Shade, they left in awe:
"Uncle, aunt, we can cooperate again next time. From the perspective of dealing with family past affairs, our positions are consistent. We will convince Mr. Zangjingren to let the Mirror Association cooperate with you. We have always been relatives, please believe this."
Megan's condition was really bad. Shad waved goodbye to the two frightened brothers, and quickly took her to find the carriage waiting for them in a hidden place. Then they took the carriage back to the banks of the Duin River and returned to the witch's ship.
In the room of the cruise ship, Megan, who still looked a little ugly, was lying on the bed. The maids were busy selecting suitable potions at the long table nearby. The witch looked at Shad who was standing beside the bed.
She forced a smile:
"Don't you have something else to do this afternoon? You can go back first. I'm fine. I just need to... take a rest."
"Your condition doesn't look okay at all. I know demons well, and I know how they can hurt people with fragile souls."
He took out the "Moonlight Water" again, and Megan pursed her lips and shook her head:
"I told you not to waste such a precious material. If you want to help me, you can leave it here and make it into a potion when I get better."
He then gave the small bottle of Moonlight Water to Megan's head maid, Miss Jill, who took it very carefully. Although she had come into contact with many rare materials around witches, it was rare to see such a precious one.
"Also, the refined gold you left with me last time..."
She mentioned this matter again, and Shade shook his head:
"We'll talk about it after you get better. Have a good rest. Don't cast spells recently. You see, you were originally expected to recover quickly, but now it has turned out like this. The plan to land on the island next week can also be postponed..."
"no!"
The brown-haired lady shook her head, and her golden eyes, which had been stripped of their disguise, looked at Shade:
"You have been the one investigating all this time. If I can't even help you get to the island, then what value do I have in your eyes?"
Shade shook his head, sat down on the bed and held her hand. Megan blushed, then signaled her head maid to take the other maids out first.
The footsteps faded away, and the door was closed. Xia De looked at her and asked:
"Value? Do you think we are still just a simple cooperative relationship?"
"Of course not!"
The witch blurted out her thoughts, then pursed her lips and looked at Shade with burning eyes:
"Actually, there's something I've been lying to you about... I can't tell you until next week."
"I have also been hiding something from you. I can only tell you next week, but it will definitely not harm you... You can punch me then."
Xia De said, looking into the witch's eyes, as if he could see the two souls entangled together:
"Meghan, or Audrey, have a good rest. We still don't know what the Thirteen Rings Fortune Teller on the island wants to do, but at least you have to recover your strength so that you can help me."
She nodded slightly:
"OK."
I was already eager to wait until next week to tell Xia De everything.
Following her own wishes, she raised her hands and hugged Xia De's neck, then stood up and kissed Xia De. At this moment, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, but the feeling at this moment was also wonderful.
She enjoyed this moment of passion and tranquility, and Shad felt even more wonderful.
Outsider, you have a deeper contact with them. You sense the state of their souls.
"What status?"
Go deep, but you haven't gone deep enough. Based on the current investigation, there is actually only one soul in her body, but this soul is double. Audrey Edwards and Megan Edwards can be seen as two people, but they can also be seen as one person.
"So, the truth behind their pain and madness for more than a decade is..."
The soul has a dual tendency of independence and integration, which leads to constant self-injury. Now they have stabilized, which is the self-healing nature of the soul.
It seems that Megan and Audrey's situation is completely different from that of Lecia and Dorothy, but it is very similar to Helen Grace in a fused state.
“She” continued to gently remind:
The soul that is injured again by the devil can be treated in a very simple way, it is not a permanent damage. Use strong stimulation to stabilize the chaotic and unstable soul, you have done it once.
"Oh, are you thinking about other girls?"
Megan suddenly pushed Xia De away, with a blush and a little anger on her face:
"Why are you so distracted?"
"I was thinking that I have a way to treat you, at least to get you back to the state you were in before you left this morning."
Xia De said with certainty, but hesitantly:
"It's just that... this method is a little..."
"Unsafe?"
"It's safe and won't hurt you. But it will hurt. A lot."
Sorceresses and witches don't care about this at all:
"Please believe me, any pain is nothing compared to the soul pain and mental turmoil I have experienced."
She motioned for Shade to give it a try:
"Just cast the spell. Although I don't really believe that you can heal me in one go, I have been looking for a way for many years and haven't been able to find one, but I am still willing to give it a try."
"It's not a cure, it's just to stabilize the soul from the confusion of seeing the devil... It really hurts."
"I don't care, please don't underestimate me."
Shade then cast the Silencing Note Spell, but he was still hesitant:
"I warn you again, it's really..."
"If you say that again, I'll be angry."
"Oh well."
Shade bit his finger, then looked at the brown-haired lady who was sitting on the bedside after being changed into pajamas by the maids. There was a warning in her eyes that if Shade spoke again, she would really get angry, so Shade raised his hand:
"Soul Whip!"
