Almost simultaneously, a voice ca from behind them, interrupting Tian Sheng's words.
The group, taken aback, turned around to see a man in a black robe slowly approaching from the nearby wall. His face was grim, yet he still wore an inscrutable smile:
"Sorry, I do appreciate your efforts in this process, and it pains to let your hard work go to waste, but if I let you continue like this, my own efforts will be for naught. Oh, no, thanks to that damned Fairy over there, it should be said that it has already gone to waste."
Strangely enough, despite being alone, his words were filled with disdain for the two humans and the fairy before him.
Unlike the black-robed n Bai Jingxuan had encountered before, this man not only spoke with an unpleasant sense of superiority, but his black robe was also not of ordinary design. It was outlined with strange, sinister patterns in golden thread, making those who looked at it feel uneasy.
Instinctively raising her Magic Wand, shielding Mo Ke and Tian Sheng behind her, Bai Jingxuan said warily, "Are you the one who trapped everyone here?"
"Trapped everyone? Oh, you an the people in this welfare ho?"
Upon hearing this, the man stopped in his tracks, then shook his head: "No, child, I have to tell you that you seem to have misunderstood sothing. The 'everyone' you're talking about is of no value to . The one I was looking for from the beginning was only you."
Bai Jingxuan gripped her Magic Wand a little tighter: "Why?"
"Why? Do I really need to spell it out for you? Don't you realize that your so-called illness, the strange illness that can't be diagnosed and cured by modern dicine, is it really just an illness?"
The man in the black robe grinned, unashadly: "You are special, child, your 'illness' has never been a bad thing. Instead, it is proof of your uniqueness, of being chosen."
"The reason is quite simple, because, from the beginning, it wasn't a physical issue, but rather it ca from your soul, your Magical Power."
"Children like you are born to be chosen by the master; you are different from others: born with stronger souls, more special Magical Power, so strong that it completely mismatches your body, which cannot bear it."
"In other words, your body is like a truck that is 'overloaded' with too much cargo," he explained.
"An overloaded truck, whether it accelerates or brakes, will face much more difficulty, even turning is more troubleso, and it's very prone to losing control. Your body is the sa, and since you can't even utilize your power properly, it manifests as an illness, with your own body not under control."
"So, here I am, I am here to relieve you from this predicant."
"The master selects special sacrifices like you, and their mission is to return to the embrace of the master and contribute to its return to this world."
With that, he reached out towards Bai Jingxuan: "Now, can you feel my goodwill, child?"
"...Don't listen to him, it's all nonsense."
Tian Sheng, looking feeble, placed his hand on Bai Jingxuan's shoulder from behind: "He may sound convincing, but in reality, the so-called 'contribution' is a sacrifice, using living people as a sacrifice to the so-called Evil God—this guy is probably so sort of cultist from god knows where."
"Cultist?" Upon hearing Tian Sheng's comnts, the man's eyes widened as if he had heard sothing utterly surprising.
"Hahaha! You diocre beings, already forgetting the glory that is rightfully yours, and you dare to call us cultists?"
He first laughed loudly, then his face suddenly fell, as he raised his hand and said in an ominously deep voice, "Don't make laugh, you ignorant swine."
"Watch out!"
Seeing the man's posture, Mo Ke imdiately voiced a warning.
Of course, even without her reminder, Bai Jingxuan was already aware of what the man was about to do. Almost instinctively, she turned around and abruptly pushed Tian Sheng aside using her ability to fly, dodging to the side.
At the sa mont, it seed as if the patterns on the man's raised sleeve suddenly brightened, and a twisted sphere ford by Magical Power with a radius of several ters suddenly appeared where Tian Sheng had been standing.
If it weren't for Bai Jingxuan's quick reaction, Tian Sheng might already have been hit by this unexpected attack.
"Shadow Vortex?"
Tian Sheng, who had fallen to the ground, turned his head in astonishnt towards the ball that resembled a Spell Technique: "No, this size, this speed, and this power... it's impossible, even a controller shouldn't have such Magical Power!"
On the other side, after helping Tian Sheng dodge the man's attack, Bai Jingxuan imdiately recognized the situation at hand and began her counterattack.
Her use of Magical Power was still sowhat unskilled, and she worried that using Magical Power Release at such a ti might backfire, so she decided to continue the close-quarters battle. She enhanced her body with Magical Power, then charged forward, picking up her Magic Wand and swinging it directly at the man.
During previous fights, that was how she had taken care of those in black robes.
The physical strength of a Magical Girl far surpassed that of ordinary people, and with Magical Power reinforcent, an uncontrolled blunt strike was enough to easily kill a person.
And if against ordinary black-robed people Bai Jingxuan might still hesitate to hold back, when facing this strange man, she dared not take any chances. Even though she didn't wish to kill, she still put all her strength into it to prevent the man from using so strange technique.
"Clang!"
Nevertheless, her attack was blocked by the man.
