The End of the Demoness

As Daly said in the Language of the Dead, a transparent layer quickly appeared on the surface of Bishop Utravsky's body. Immediately following that, a cold wind that could be described as mournful blew in the hall.

In Ebner's Spirit Vision, he saw a transparent figure about 2 meters tall with a hideous and terrifying expression. It was obviously an evil spirit.

Just as Ebner was about to simulate Holy Light to completely destroy the evil spirit, Daly, who was beside him, waved her hand at him, indicating that there was no hurry. Then, she opened her mouth again.

"Umeklo!"

As another awkward, difficult, ear-piercing, and completely incomprehensible word were recited, the transparent figure that appeared from the bishop's body suddenly quieted down. He could no longer feel the cold feeling from before. If not for the fact that he could still see it through his Spirit Vision, Ebner might have thought that it no longer existed.

After the evil spirit left Bishop Utravsky's body, the latter's face clearly softened, but the huge sword condensed from light in his hand did not dissipate.

"Do you have the ability to make people fall asleep?" Daly reached out and summoned the evil spirit to her side. After communicating with it for a while, she turned her head and asked.

Ebner glanced warily at the impish evil spirit, hesitated, then nodded. "Yes, ma'am… but will that help the bishop?"

He wasn't afraid of using the powers of multiple pathways in front of Daly. After all, it could be said that he had used a mystical item. After all, he was only a weak Sequence 7, right?

He hesitated because he didn't know if Madam Daly was aware of the bishop's mental ailment. Wouldn't there be a bigger problem if she made a mistake in her judgment because she didn't know?

"This little fellow said that there are two people in his mind. They are like lovers who are about to break up. They love and hate each other, and they are sentimental. As the third party, we can't get between them for the time being… However, we still have to restrict his actions so as to prevent the Demoness from poaching him." Daly explained patiently with an ethereal voice and terrible choice of words.

Ebner, who was in the state of 'Mechanical Mind', did not have any other thoughts about her joke segments. He only picked out the important parts and asked, "You mean to use dreams to restrict it?"

"Yes, it's both a restriction and a form of protection," Daly said with certainty.

Ebner nodded slightly before carefully approaching the giant bishop. Then, he opened his mouth and recited a peaceful poem that made one feel as though they were in the night.

"Whenever the sun sinks in the west

"The dewdrops fill the evening lapels

"She is as pale as the moon when she is bare

"Or like stars with the moon

"The moon sees grass under the nourishment of night dew

"It blooms with elegant, delicate flowers

"Avoid sunlight like a hermit."

…

The chanting echoed, and the ability of the Midnight Poet immediately made Bishop Utravsky's body sway slightly. His eyes seemed to have regained some clarity as he smiled gently at Ebner. Then, without resisting, he leaned against the pillar in the hall and fell asleep.

"Let's find the Demoness of Afflictions immediately, in case she tries anything else," Daly told Ebner as the bishop fell asleep.

"You know the location of the Demoness? Through that evil spirit?" Ebner seemed to have guessed something and asked directly.

"Yes, this little fellow was summoned by the Demoness through black magic… She wants to use it to control the bishop to attack us… She also wants the bishop to do something destined to be 'painful'!" Daly said as she followed behind the evil spirit that led the way.

Ebner followed cautiously and analyzed calmly. "From the looks of it, that Demoness has indeed lost the ability to attack. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used such a troublesome method… The black magic to summon this evil spirit is most likely a ritual aid."

However, Ray's luck today was really not very good. She clearly did not expect that I could easily escape the emotional control and help a necromancer regain his rationality. And as a backup plan, she used it to provoke the evil spirit that the bishop killed. In the end, not only was she exposed by Daly, the necromancer mentor, but she also exposed her own position…

Was "Solomon Gold Coin" so effective?

"I can't be too careless… Maybe she's just showing weakness…"

The two followed the evil spirit and soon left the main residence, arriving in the courtyard.

Under Ebner's "calm" gaze, the evil spirit jumped onto a carriage engraved with the Dark Sacred Emblem. Then, a black flame rose, and the evil spirit disappeared from the carriage before it could even scream.

Ebner and Daly looked at each other, each preparing a spell of attack.

At this moment, the carriage's curtains were lifted. A lady with black hair stuck her naked upper body out of the carriage window and said resentfully,

"I didn't expect you to come here so quickly… Can't you die in pain and despair?"

This was Ray, who'd had to escape to this place after being cursed by Lena. She had a black eyeball embedded in her chest.

Ebner didn't say a word. Instead, he used the Eye of Pure White to quickly analyze the Demoness's state. Soon, he discovered that although she appeared calm, she was also entangled by various emotions and desires. As she had been severely injured mentally and physically, she was on the brink of losing control!

This was also the reason why the other party was so fearless despite not being able to use many methods. She was certain that the two of them would not dare to attack her rashly. Otherwise, she might lose control and become a monster on the spot.

Daly had also discovered this through her own means. She frowned and said, "It's indeed very tricky. I lack the means to quickly kill her… We might as well wait for the reinforcements from the Holy Church. Time is on our side. We just need to watch her and not let her escape."

Ebner shook his head and said expressionlessly, "Bishop Utravsky might not be able to last that long. I don't know how the ordinary people outside are doing… Most importantly, the Demoness might be stalling for time because she's waiting for something else to be done."

"Does that mean you have a solution?" Daly heard the hidden meaning in his words and her eyes immediately lit up.

"I can only say that she was really unlucky today."

Ebner took out a badge from his pocket.

It was the badge that had cursed Xio at the beginning. It was the badge that had been repaired by Ebner with the aura of a devil.

The enmity between him and Demoness of Afflictions, Ray, began with this badge, and now, it was finally going to end.

This was because the curse power in this badge could trigger one's desires!

As for Demoness Ray, because she was using 2-001, he had the various extreme emotions and desires that the Sealed Artifact had been absorbing all this time!

Ebner aimed the badge at the carriage and crushed it with a cold expression.

Right on the heels of that, Ray, whose upper body was leaning against the window, suddenly had his head explode.
