Chapter 122: Seal (2)
Seal (2)
Dowd Campbell getting hurt wasnt an uncommon sight for Eleanor.
It was only natural, considering that she had faced several life-threatening situations not long after meeting this man.
But, even if that was the case
His current state was
Dowd?
It took some time for her to take in and accept the situation.
Her sound mind couldnt quite discern the exact identity of the lump of flesh in front of her.
Dowd?
A voice of disbelief trickled out of her lips.
Her mind turned blank as her heart raced wildly.
Apostle. Is this your doing?
Across from her, such words reached her faint consciousness.
A voice filled with such chilling killing intent that made her skin crawl emanated from the masked woman.
It was as if she was angry about this man being in such a state.
No. I did leave three Ancient God entities behind, but the likelihood of them inflicting such injuries is
Nonexistent. Yes. I know that, but how could he end up like this?
Tatiana. I entrusted one single thing to you. Why cant you handle it properly?
I apologize.
Hearing this conversation made Eleanor realize.
The reason why this man ended up like this was because he was entangled in the incident those bastards had caused.

!!!!
An insidious aura churned in her heart.
Everything around her slowed down. No, this wasnt merely her personal perception; Time actually slowed down.
This was a familiar sensation to her.
The entire world slowed with her at the center, and she felt like she had control over all of space.
She inhaled heavily, spinning that aura fiercely.
Without a doubt, she vividly remembered using this energy before to turn back time.
Of course
There was a risk that everything nearby could be swept away if she did that.
She might even cause enormous damage to some important facilities in the foreign nation. With her status as one of the major nobles from the Empire, as a consideration, she might end up being publicly denounced by the entire continent.
But
She didnt give a shit about any of that.
Even if other people died, and everyone around them got swept away
As long as she could save this man
Even if she had to bear all the consequences herself!
-Therefore, I implore.
At that moment, she heard a voice.
Holding onto her fleeting rationality, she turned her head and saw the man she had been watching intently since earlier; He was holding a ritual tool in his hand speaking such words.
She saw him grasping one of the ornaments attached to his body.
A small bell, obviously a strange item filled with spiritual power.
However, the strength emanating from the bell at the moment
Was far from that mere level.
-Therefore, I implore.
And then
Those words resonated and a gentle wave spread out from the bell.
Merely maintain purity
All the Demonic Aura emanating from Eleanor vanished in an instant.
But it didnt end there.
The aura that was always emitting from her heart disappeared.
As if it never existed in the first place.
!
Her eyes widened in astonishment.
While she might not know exactly what resided within her, she knew that it wasnt something that could easily be influenced by others.
And yet
Because of the words spoken by this man, all the aura she was about to invoke vanished.
No.
What she experienced wasnt exactly something like that.
The aura didnt disappear due to interference or some kind of suppression.
Instead, it was deleted.
You cant use it, can you Miss?
As her body froze in shock, Eleanor heard those words.
How could you bring out such dangerous things? I understand you want to save that guy, but if you unleash something you cant even control, everyone here will just die, you know?
Her trembling eyes turned towards the provokingly ear-grating voice.
Cursed Speech .
Im considering it.
Such a conversation was heard.
They were planning to do something to Dowd.
They were about to take away her most precious thing
Right before her eyes.
Dowd.
Just before her breath ceased, Eleanor faintly uttered as she saw Dowd hanging over the Prophets shoulder.
Dowd.
She couldnt let that happen.
The future where that man would be controlled by the likes of them could never happen.
However, her body wouldnt obey. Pinned to the wall, she couldnt even twitch a finger.
As despair engulfed her
Wait a minute. Boss.
What.
There is something strange about that guy.
The thing that was engraved on Dowds chest
Began to pulse
While containing something that harbored a blackness.
Prophet!
Tatiana was the first to sense the danger.
She, who was aiming her wand at Eleanor, hastily sent a curse towards the Prophet.
At the same time as a turquoise wall appeared between the Prophet and Dowd, their bodies were flung in opposite directions.
Meanwhile
The black aura that had started to spew from his chest quickly spread around in billows.
Prophet, are you alright?!
Though Tatiana cried out such words
The Prophets gaze was blankly fixed on Dowd.
As if
She couldnt believe what she was seeing.
The Fallens Seal?
The Prophet muttered those words in a daze.
As if
She was witnessing something that should never happen.
No, why, why did you do such a thing?
From her voice
Why did you go so far for those cursed bitches-!
Despair could be felt.
Fuck. Damn it. Get away from him!
Following that
Talker, who had maintained a light-hearted tone until now, shouted at the Prophet with a voice filled with anxiety and simultaneously
Removed several ornaments that wrapped around his entire body.
It was a contrasting sight to when he had only used one against Eleanor.
-Therefore, I implore.
-Therefore, I implore.
Merely maintain pu-
But before he could complete the phrase
A massive wind struck in Talkers direction.
It was a phenomenon caused by Dowd, who had been kneeling and sitting on the ground, with just a punch he threw from his position.
Without any Special Power nor aura included.
Purely physical power had caused the phenomenon.
What the fu What is this!
While Talker had to backpedal a few steps, unable to complete the sentence due to this
The black aura that he couldnt eliminate completely gathered around Dowds body.
Hey, youre kidding me.
Talker let out a sudden uncontrollable laughter as he looked on.
In his mind, he recalled a truth he had known.
A law that had not changed throughout the long years he had lived.
There were a total of six entities for Devils.
White, Blue, Red, Brown, Purple, and finally Grey.
If that was the case, then
What in the world was he looking at right now?
A bizarre sight, that was the only way he could put it.
His entire body was surrounded by black aura, as if he was wearing full black armor.
This feeling of grotesqueness, eeriness, and discomfort, all mashed and mixed together.
Was undoubtedly
Ive never heard or seen anything like a Black Devil, damn it.
A Devil.
