Safina and Ursula did not run too far. They were near Weymouth. Just now, they're in trouble.
This may be the first time Safina has met an opponent since she got the power she has now - and it's still quite difficult to deal with.
At this moment, in Preston, northeast of Weymouth, a strange battle is going on. And... In fact, it's been going on for days and nights.
At first, this battle originated from an "old man" found by Safina when she was patrolling around Weymouth.
"Ursula, are you okay? Can you hold on?"
In an alley on Preston street, Safina half dragged and half supported her sister Ursula, walking step by step to the other end of the alley. She obviously didn't forget that she could fly, but because she didn't dare to fly into the air easily now.
To be honest, Safina actually regretted at the moment - she shouldn't have kept Ursula by her side because she wasn't at ease. It turns out that when she walks and patrols outside, her side is much more dangerous than Weymouth's hiding place!
If only Safina herself, she could choose to leave, but now with Ursula, the situation is completely different.
"It's all right," Ursula shook her head weakly. "It's just... Safina, I'm sorry. I don't think I should have stayed in England in the beginning."
"Don't say that now."
Safina said so, but her attention is still changing in every corner around her, always paying attention to the movement and change of every place.
The magic of the whole area seemed to become sluggish, which made her feel very uncomfortable. However, the worst thing at the moment must be Ursula.
In fact, Safina can clearly feel that there is an invisible force in this block. It is like a tide, involving every soul in the range.
Because of the soul rule power derived from the bewitching monument, even if it is only one branch, Safina can resist this shock to the soul. But for Ursula, this is very terrible.
As a person who has changed her body, Ursula's soul is not as stable as that of normal people. Coupled with this inexplicable force, her soul seems to be "floating" out of her body and drifting away with the tidal force at any time.
To this end, Safina, who can feel this situation, not only can't move with her quickly, but also has to devote her energy to help Ursula stabilize her soul all the time. Under such circumstances, she even had to pay attention to the emergence and disappearance of the enemy at any time.
Yes, that "old man" is a rather troublesome enemy, there is no doubt about it. Even now, Safina hasn't actually had a direct fight with each other... No, maybe that's what makes Safina feel more threatened.
Because we can know from the magic wave that seems to be everywhere that the strength of the other party is quite strong - it is such a strong opponent, but he only lingers around and doesn't take the initiative to attack for several days. This is the most fatal thing.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Safina, who was holding Ursula by a window, was shocked. Because of the light from the corner of her eyes, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something fleeting in the window glass.
"Boom!"
"Wow -"
At that moment, Safina suddenly raised her hand, and the black flame rolled in front of the window. The glass was directly cracked by the shock of energy and crashed to the ground, revealing the dark room behind the glass.
However, it was quiet inside. At a glance, it was just a very ordinary Muggle living room.
Now the fog has cleared away and the vision has become much clearer. However... It doesn't seem to be a good thing. Sometimes your eyes lie.
"Safina, back."
When Safina was looking into the window, Ursula suddenly opened her mouth to remind her, making her turn back quickly.
At that moment, she saw an oval dark hole on the brick wall on the other side of the alley. Suddenly, a thin black claw came out of the hole and was about to extend to Ursula's white and delicate neck.
Safina saw this, subconsciously raised her hand, followed her arm and was caught.
"Ah!"
At the next moment, an indescribable suction suddenly came from the hand, pulling Safina's soul will like a whale sucking a cow.
This feeling is difficult to describe in words. All Safina can feel is that her consciousness is far away from herself, as if she would fall asleep and completely unconscious at any time.
Almost subconsciously, a black flame swept up automatically, wrapping her and her hand together. Similarly, the black flame against the soul kept churning, biting the black thin arm, and even poured into the black hole in the wall along its hand.
"Roar -"
A low, hoarse roar came faintly from the dark hole, and the claw that clung to Safina's arm finally released and shrank back like lightning.
The next second, spiral ripples appeared in the oval hole, suddenly narrowed and disappeared, and returned to the original shape of the brick wall. Even the dark green moss on the brick seam is still the same, which makes people feel that everything just now is an illusion and nothing has happened.
"Safina, are you... Okay?"
Safina had just asked her that, but now she asked instead.
"Nothing, don't worry."
Safina shook her head, gently shook her arm that had just been caught, and felt a little weak. I saw her casually stroking her sleeve and glancing at it. On her smooth forearm, a black handprint was quite shocking.
It seems that the other party's catch just now is not only an attack on the soul, but also seems to have a lot of damage to the body. We must be more careful.
"This --"
Ursula couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw it, but Safina just put down her sleeve and waved her hand casually:
"It doesn't matter, it's just... You may have to maintain the flame next."
Before the words fell, the black flame swallowed them completely again, leaving no trace of exposure - although Safina could have maintained the flame of her soul for a long time, it was undoubtedly a consumption. According to the patience of the enemy, it would be really troublesome if we continued to linger around them for several days.
"We have to find a way to stay away from it... Even for a moment!"
Bathed in the black flame, Safina said.
