536 Analysis (1/2)
As the spell was cast, Primous suddenly felt indescribably terrifying magic waves emerging out of nowhere. Illusionary faces suddenly appeared in the dark, green and yellow willpower frontier around him. They lunged at him with their fuzzy, blurry bodies without being affected at all!
”A legendary magic?”
Primous couldn't have been more astounded, but hardly had the idea occurred to him when the ferocious, incomplete souls ignored his defense of poisons and curses and crawled into his body. They entered into his nose and exited from his mouth, before they reentered into his eyes, forming a weird circulation as if they were having a grand ball.
The glamor in his eyes was gone, revealing the dull whiteness. Primous' body seemed to have slightly expanded because of the excessive souls. He stood in wild disbelief like a statue, and his semi-illusionary willpower frontier was instantly gone.
The esoteric spell that did not seem to be cast by the tongue, and the overwhelming magic wells, made Duke James, Duke Russell and other people who could not see the fight both surprised and delighted. If they heard and sensed it correctly, it was a legendary magic! Which Excellency of the Congress of Magic came to their rescue?
No matter who it was, their lives were finally saved!
Therefore, they were more inclined to the Congress of Magic.
After activating the Congus Ring and restricting Primous with 'Spirit Confinement', Lucien immediately felt that his spiritual power was dry and his head was in excruciating pain. The power of the curse that was almost gone seemed to be launching a comeback. However, 'Origin', the Holm crown ring on his right hand, fed his spiritual power that he stored in advance to him.
Having no time to bother anything else, Lucien spread out his spiritual power and took out a bottle of 'Water Song' from his storage bag.
Without any magic waves, the 'Water Song' floated and blew away the cork, pouring itself into Lucien's mouth.
One of the requirements for a sorcerer to advance into the senior rank was that their soul and spiritual power could directly affect reality. That was why Congus and other liches would have spoken and cast spells when they did not have a body. It was based on the privilege that Lucien cast a spell.
In fact, the power of curses differed from poisons in that cutting the central nerves could not stop it. Lucien had planned to stab his left hand into the neck, avoiding the spine and the central nerves, and use the nullifying ability of the hand to block and eliminate the power of curse. However, he did not have such self-control when he was 'intoxicated', and he hurt his spine and central nerves, losing the feelings below his neck.
If it was delayed any longer, his brain would've decayed due to the lack of oxygen. Then, Lucien would have to switch to a new body. Therefore, the moment he tamed Primous, Lucien hurried to recover himself with drugs.
The Water Song flowed into his throat. Emitting watery colors, it twisted and recovered the wound.
Since the spine was not completely broken and the central nerves were not collapsed, such a wound was much easier to treat than broken limbs. For example, Verdi, Natasha's cousin, was cut in the neck by her before, but he was not killed and was even slowly recovering.
Then, Lucien cast 'Remove Curse', the fourth-circle magic, to eliminate the remaining power of curse.
After his wound was recovered, Lucien hurried to take out another bottle of 'Water Song'. Holding Natasha who was still on her feet, he poured the drugs into her mouth and treated her with 'Poison Neutralization' and other magics. He also added the effect of air filtering on himself.
Seeing that the danger was no more and Lucien was safe, Natasha was relieved and lost the momentum. Her willpower was finally crushed by the 'Helpless Kiss', and she collapsed in her arms.
Once one was hit by 'Spirit Confinement', their soul would be caged forever until it was relieved by a corresponding magic.
Even though the magic effect disappeared eventually, the soul would turn into dust if it took too long.
The black curse on her wound was cured by her blood power. The green and yellowish poisons were soon dissolved by Lucien's magic and drugs. The wound began wriggling, erasing the hideous, devastating traces.
Although 'Helpless Kiss' could not be relieved by a common 'Poison Neutralization' and 'Water Song', Natasha's external wounds were basically recovered. Her life was no longer in danger.
”I will gather my willpower and activate the Health Belt. You go to rescue Aunt Camil, Duke James and Duke Russell first.” Due to the loss of blood and Helpless Kiss, Natasha was still extremely weak.
Supposedly, after she gathered her willpower with her blood power which made her stronger when she was wounded, the best solution was to break into the pivot of the Health Belt and use it to eliminate the poison. However, Lucien, the owner of the Health Belt, was in danger and unable to direct her to carry out the performance of the belt. So, she had to fight without it, and the Helpless Kiss was still not relieved yet.
”Alright.” Without further ado, Lucien planned to wake up James, who was a gold knight, in case more enemies came.
Therefore, Lucien carried Natasha to a wall and let her gather her willpower gradually. By then, as long as she intended to use the Health Belt, he would sense it and could provide guidance.
As he walked to Duke James, Lucien saw that his eyes were still clear. It seemed that his level-nine diminished the effect of 'Helpless Kiss'. Even without his help, he would've gradually recovered after Helpless Kiss passed the most active phase.
After ten seconds, ensuring that his spiritual power was good enough for him to use the Sun Staff, Lucien finally performed a magic to suppress Helpless Kiss. At such a moment, he had to be prepared that everybody but Natasha was a spy.
Duke James was more or less recovered, but he still couldn't gather his willpower, so he said, ”Help me activate the ring on my left little finger.”
On his left little finger was a bright blue ring which, according to Lucien's senses, had the effect of poison resistance. However, 'Helpless Kiss' was much higher than its innate effect, and it had to be activated in order to relieve the poison.
Activating magic items was Lucien's specialty. Soon, the ring began to emanate a layer of watery light.
The watery light soon found its way into Duke James' body, dissolving Helpless Kiss. After receiving the help, Duke James roared and pressed the green and dark air out of his skin.
He got rid of Helpless Kiss with the strength of a level-nine gold knight.
