Day 217. You looked at the magic circle you had wrecked into a complete mess, your gaze shifting to the enchanting woman beside it.

She was watching you destroy this main node like a supervisor.

Until now, you hadn't figured out her identity.

According to what she said, she should be under Douglas's command.

But…

Not only did she not stop you from coming, but she also actively let you destroy this main node.

Once the main node was destroyed, even just one, the Necromantic Worship Array would be unable to activate.

As the enchanting woman guarding the main node, she couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Suddenly, the enchanting woman, who made you extremely curious, spoke.

‘You can leave, I promised you, I'll let you go this once.’

You looked at her, ‘Can I ask why?’

As soon as you finished speaking, the entire space instantly filled with a thick blood mist.

A large amount of blood from the blood pool rose into the air, turning into mist and enveloping the entire underground space.

An intense bloody smell appeared.

An extreme killing intent locked onto you.

‘You're not leaving? Then don't leave.’

You didn't expect this woman to be so unreasonable and immediately ran towards the outside.

Fortunately, the enchanting woman didn't insist on killing you.

You successfully escaped.

At this moment, you suddenly felt a fluctuation flash past in the underground space behind you, followed by a loud crash of something collapsing.

The desire to leave cooled down, and after thinking for a moment, you looked into the distance.

A large number of Fels Duchy soldiers were rushing towards this side, including members of the Hand of Death wearing black robes.

Clearly, Douglas had sensed that the main node had been destroyed and reacted.

Seeing this, you immediately returned to the underground space.

However, intimidated by the enchanting woman's strength, you didn't appear directly, but liquefied your body and carefully sneaked in.

Before long, a large number of voices came from the entrance, it was the soldiers and Hand of Death members who had rushed over.

Because you were well hidden, they didn't notice you and went directly into the underground space.

You immediately followed.

When you arrived in the underground space.

You saw a scene that shocked you.

The enchanting woman, who had previously appeared so powerful and wanted to kill you, was spitting out blood, her aura weakened as she leaned to the ground, clearly seriously injured.

It's worth mentioning that she finally put on some clothes.

Scattered on the ground were the parts of more than a dozen puppets.

These were the combat puppets that had been guarding the blood pool.

You were stunned.

You could be certain.

When you left, the enchanting woman was fine, and those combat puppets were also fine.

It couldn't have been caused by these soldiers coming in.

Then…

A Hand of Death member immediately came to the enchanting woman's side and helped her up, ‘Left Protector! What happened! The node has been destroyed!’

The enchanting woman spat out another mouthful of blood.

Clearly, her injuries were extremely serious.

‘It's… that slime…'

‘Didn't… didn't manage to stop it, it's my dereliction of duty… I will plead guilty to Lord Douglas.’

Hearing these words, your mind was shaken.

She's framing you…

Although, you did do it.

And the purpose was indeed to destroy the main node.

But there was always a strange feeling.

With the enchanting woman's strength, if she wanted to stop you, you simply couldn't have destroyed the main node magic circle.

But not only did you succeed under her instructions, but you also escaped safely.

Now, she injured herself and blamed it on you.

All of this…

You felt like you couldn't think anymore.

The reason she did this… why?!

After hearing that it was you who did it, the Hand of Death member revealed a look of ‘as expected’, ‘Left Protector, you've suffered such serious injuries, you should heal first, I'll handle things here.’

Amidst your confusion, he immediately waved his hand, ‘Quick! Rebuild the array!’

After that, the large number of Hand of Death members and soldiers he led took out various magic array stones and began to re-engrave the array.

The entire new node was re-engraved in less than half an hour.

Seeing this, you were dumbfounded.

According to the notes on the Necromantic Worship Array in the Korvac Treatise, the layout of the main node was extremely time-consuming, taking at least several months at the fastest.

You destroyed the main node's array very thoroughly, wanting to rearrange it, even with traces of the previous array node, it was impossible to complete it in such a short time.

But the array node had been formed, that was a fact.

However, there was still one step missing, to make the node function, it needed a blood sacrifice.

These people didn't have time to prepare a large number of living things for sacrifice.

Suddenly, a scene that stunned you appeared.

The Hand of Death member who had just ordered the array to be set up, looked solemnly at the soldiers behind him, ‘Now, it's time for you to dedicate yourselves to the God of Death.’

Chī!

Chī!

…

The sound of a large number of sharp weapons piercing bodies appeared, all the soldiers committed suicide on the spot, either inserting swords into their hearts, bleeding and dying.

The blood flowed forward along the grooves of the new array, gathering and condensing…

The main node was rebuilt!!!

‘Left Protector, I'll guard this place, you should go back and heal.’

The enchanting woman heard the words of the person in front of her, a strange color flashed in her eyes, ‘…Okay.’

Her body floated into the air and flew outside.

You quickly followed.

Leaving the underground space, the enchanting woman didn't go towards the Fels Duchy army's location, but towards a direction away from the main battlefield.

She flew, you followed.

Before long, the enchanting woman in the clouds stopped and looked behind her, ‘How long are you planning to follow me?’

Seeing that you were exposed, you directly appeared, coming in front of her, ‘I think, I already know your purpose.’

The enchanting woman looked at you coldly, ‘So what if you know? Killing you is still very easy.’

You looked at her, ‘If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me just now, I've been following you all the way, it's not like you just discovered me, you just wanted to see how much determination I have.’

‘You have strength, I have influence, let's cooperate, make friends?’

You extended your hand.

She stared at your hand for a while, and sneered, ‘Just a magical beast, still learning this human trick, you really don't learn good things, but learn bad ones!’

You retracted your hand and said with a smile, ‘What I'm doing now is good.’

Saying that, you put away your smile, ‘The Fels Duchy under Douglas's rule, the people's hearts are restless and violent, disputes occur everywhere, the security is chaotic, ordinary people are not living well, destroying a Douglas, how many people can be saved, you should know better than me.’

The enchanting woman stared at you for a full minute, and suddenly smiled.

When she smiled, it was like a blooming Lycoris radiata, beautiful, but with ominousness.

‘You want to subvert me? This is the biggest joke I've ever heard.’

You looked at her, and said calmly, ‘Then laugh? Why don't you laugh?’

Enchanting woman: …

Killing intent burst forth!!!

The subsequent negotiations were extremely smooth, you and the enchanting woman reached a cooperation.
