Chapter 317: Taking Action

The mirror was black, and there was nothing in it. However, the voice from the mirror said to the witch in a flattering way, ”Eudora, you've always been the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Feeling satisfied, the old witch put down the mirror, ”Good, very good, Trius. You're the most honest mirror in this world, not like those I've destroyed before… They were all liars.”

The mirror started to sing joyfully, ”Ah… Eudora's hair is as glossy and shiny as the sun; her eyes are as green as the jade-like lake; Her red lips were like rose petals….”

The old witch's voice was also damaged by the curse and sounded very harsh, ”Good boy, Trius. After we leave this bloody place, I'll decorate you with all the most precious gems you like.”

Laughing hard, the witch put down the mirror and turned to Lucien. Then, she started to scream. Her voice was so sharp that it even gave Lucien a headache. Lucien took a few steps backward due to the dizziness.

”Close your eyes! Close your bloody eyes!” screamed the witch.

Lucien had no idea what was going on here. But he knew that he had better follow the witch's command. He heard the witch walking back and forth and cursed, ”Are you bloody blind? You damned blind bastard! In your eyes, I look so ugly… I'm gonna cut out your…”

Lucien did not let the witch finish her words, ”Ms. Eudora, you were looking for me, right?”

Lucien would not give the witch the chance of making up her mind to cut out his eyes! Dealing with a lunatic could be very dangerous!

Eudora was distracted by Lucien's question, ”… I need your blood… to mix with the blood of the girl.”

Lucien was a bit relieved, feeling lucky that the witch could still calm down a bit when talking about her experiments. Then, he asked a bit confusedly, ”She's a level two knight, and her Blessing is no inferior to mine. Why do you want to mix our blood together?”

Simply mixing two kinds of blood together was not like giving birth to a baby, so the baby that inherited two top Blessings could have some even greater power, such as what Natasha's family did.

Talking about the specific experiment, Eudora became passionate, ”When you passed out, I got some of your blood. It turns out that your Moonlight Blessing is more powerful than it should be at your level, and it seems that this improvement comes from the power of a senior-rank vampire. The power can also help overcome the rejection reaction when two Blessings are mixed. Hopefully, this level two knight can get your lovely self-healing power, so she would have this honor to be my new body!”

The level two knight, Ophelia, who was right now tied to the dissecting table, felt beyond desperate. All her tears had been drained.

Although Lucien totally understood Ophelia's feeling, right now there was nothing really he could do for her. So he could only walk submissively to the other dissecting table and lay down.

The metal shackles kept Lucien in place on the table, and then a thick needle like a venomous snake's fang stuck into Lucien's skin. The sharp pain seized Lucien's nerves instantly, and then the needle started to draw his blood. The blood went directly into the body of Ophelia drop by drop through the tube.

Her body was entangled with many thin tubes like tentacles. The blood that went into her body had been mixed with assorted gem powders and magic plant powders.

Ophelia's lifeless eyes now had great pain in them. The blue veins in her neck stood out like they were going to explode at any time.

The old witch pointed at Ophelia with her black, snake-like staff, and the magic circles underneath Ophelia's body started to shine in six different colors: blue, gold, silvery-white, dark green, black and red. The two types of blood started to blend.

The pain and suffering were intolerable to Ophelia. She wished that she could die right now.

When the six kinds of colors started to join together into a weird hexagram, Ophelia's bulgy veins suddenly sucked in and her skin was covered with a layer of silver moonlight.

”Is it working?” The old witch's voice sounded very excited.

However, at this time, the veins in Ophelia's body exploded. Her blood spread everywhere, like a blood rain.

The last second before Ophelia was gone, there was a peaceful smile on her face. Finally, she did not have to suffer anymore.

Lucien was shocked, and he could never forget this moment. He saw a living life being tortured to death because of a person's greed and desire.

Lucien finally realized that it was an irresistible trend that most of the ancient sorcerers had been washed away by the progress of the time. He had to admit that he once sympathized with the ancient sorcerers, but now he understood why the ancient magic empire completely collapsed within such a short period of time. Those ancient sorcerers who refused to follow the path of arcana but stuck to conducting this kind of cruel experiments should be erased by history, as they did not deserve to be saved.

”No!” The old witch screamed. She hurriedly rushed to a magic circle placed with lots of gems and led great energy from the tower to the magic circle.

The magic circle started to burst out milk-white light, as pure as life.

At the same time, the last magic circle under Ophelia's body was also activated. However, it was pure black.

Gradually, the milk-white light was infused into the black.

Lucien believed that it was a great chance for him to kill the old witch. He tried his best to get rid of the shackles, however, unfortunately, he failed, despite the fact that both of his wrists were now bleeding from his attempt.

When the light slowly disappeared, all the wounds on Ophelia's body had already healed. Her veins had all recovered from the power. Now, her skin had this healthy glow.

Ophelia started to cast the spell to free herself from the table. Jumping down from the table swiftly like a young deer, she hurriedly picked up the mirror and asked, ”Mirror, mirror, tell me now—who in this land is fairest of all?”

”It's you, Eudora!” The mirror answered directly. It was not completely black anymore, instead, this time, the mirror showed the witch Ophelia's beautiful face.

Touching her blond hair, the old witch was very satisfied with her new look.

Lucien felt it very creepy when he heard the conversation again.
