Miss Mason wanted to dodge her husband's gaze, while Mr. Enriquez looked at his wife seriously, and re-read his marriage vows:
"Regardless of health or disease, rich or poor, I will always be by your side. Knowing you is the greatest luck in my life."
If it was any other time, Miss Mason would feel that she was the happiest person in the world, but at this time, she only hoped that her husband would be quiet and stop talking.
But obviously Mr. Enriquez doesn't know how to read minds, so he said the most critical sentence:
"From now on, nothing but death can separate us. Yes, only death. Thank you, Miss Maggie Mason, for always loving me, for loving me since I was a child. And I will..."
He couldn't go on talking anymore, a cold wind from nowhere swept across the room. The curtains that were originally opened were automatically closed without anyone touching them. The flame of the gas lamp on the wall of the room flickered a few times, and gradually went out. But the room was not completely dark, because the miserable green light lit up the next moment, and the man's soul transformed into an evil spirit completely appeared in the room.
That piece of green light illuminated Miss Mason's desperate face, illuminated Mr. Enriquez's terrified face, illuminated Shade's gloomy face ready to attack at any time, and also illuminated whether Stone Oxenfurt Face with any expression.
Perhaps in the eyes of Mr. Enriquez, there was no sign of all this, but in the eyes of the other three, it was undoubtedly that he used his own words to anger this soul into what it is today. Of course, the process of turning into an evil spirit was a little too fast, Shad had already confirmed that the soul had been polluted.
As an ordinary person, Mr. Enriquez's panic seemed normal, but he still stopped in front of the bed and his wife:
"Maggie, you go."
Even his voice trembled a little because of the excessive panic, but the woman behind him didn't want to leave, but hugged Mr. Enriquez from behind:
"No, I can't go, I'm here, he won't hurt you."
Sure enough, when the two hugged each other, the terrifying soul didn't attack immediately, but the situation didn't get any better, because once the evil spirit transformation was completed, he might lose all his sanity.
"You know him!?"
Mr. Enriquez asked incredulously, doubts even diluting a little fear.
"Sorry, I... He was my classmate during the two years I was studying in Willendale. At that time, although you and I often corresponded, we were studying alone... The towering lighthouse, cathedral, and Royal Opera House in Willendell, Civic Square, the social gatherings of the upper class, and the clubs of noble ladies, these fans dazzled my eyes... I was very depressed for a while, and I got along with him for a period of time, only three months, and then we broke up... He died of a sudden illness just before I was graduating. A week before our wedding, he suddenly appeared near me...Sorry, really sorry."
Miss Mason hugged Mr. Enriquez and sobbed on his back. And her intermittent description basically let Xia De know the general story.
The expression on Mr. Enriquez's face was extremely rich at this time, and even the fear of facing the legendary undead was diluted a little. He really didn't know about these things at first, let alone his childhood sweetheart wife, who actually had such a past.
At the same time that Mr. Enriquez was trying to turn around and look at Miss Mason, his restless soul was finally completely irritated. The negative emotions in his soul completely destroyed him, and the evil spirits rushed towards Mr. Enriquez. In Miss Mason's desperate expression, they saw some strange silver halos, and then they saw large pieces of flying flowers, and then they fell into a coma.
[Aura of Imprisonment] restricted the actions of evil spirits, and [Curse of Flying Flowers] put the bride and groom into a coma.
The figures of Shad and Stone Oxenfurt appeared in the room. Although the evil spirit could only flutter slightly at this time, it still looked at Shad with a ferocious face. But when he looked at Stone Oxenfurt, he showed a frightened expression again.
"It's a pity, as an audience of this opera, why didn't you just go on stage and interrupt the performance without seeing the end?
In my opinion, it wants to possess Enriques and achieve its goal in another way. If it is not discovered by the church later. This is actually a very good ending, although neither of them will live to be thirty years old. "
The burly man was talking, while Xia De asked:
"If this is really drama, then you're the director, right? I haven't seen ghostly spirits before, but it's too soon. Mr. Oxenfurt, may I ask, does this soul do such a thing, do you have anything to do with it?"
Stone Oxenfurt did not deny:
"I just found a wandering soul some time ago, so I talked to him."
Demonic powers affect unnamed souls, not directly corrupting them, but at least accelerating the process.
Xia De shook his head, not commenting on this. He stretched out his hand to deal with the evil spirit, but he didn't expect the dark air flow inside the spirit body to spread to his [Halo of Imprisonment], and the bright silver halo actually shattered.
The evil spirit gained the ability to move freely almost immediately, but it neither attacked the two people who were unconscious, nor rushed in the direction of Shad and Oxenfurt, but went straight through the wall and fled outwards .
So Shad and Stone Oxenfurt chased after him. Although the two still needed to go downstairs, the latter seemed to know where the soul was at any time.
So they came to the back of the manor courtyard, passed through the crowd of people having fun, passed by the guests watching the clown blowing the trumpet, and left through the fence gate in the backyard.
The back door of this manor leads directly to the farmland attached to the manor. Under the moonlight, he stepped on the ridge to the hill not far away, and finally caught up with the escaped evil spirit under the trees of the hill.
Compared with ten minutes ago, the external visual characteristics of the spirit body became even more terrifying. At the same time, it got a rusty long sword from nowhere in its hand, turned around and controlled it to stab at Xia De's chest.
"Oh? Sin?"
Oxenfurt, who was following Shad, frowned slightly when he saw [The Chain of Great Sins].
The evil spirit still wanted to dodge Shade's chains, but it was completely incapacitated after just touching it. Although [Light of Confinement] is more convenient to use than [Chain of Great Sin], in fact, the effect of the latter is better.
"It's time to go, don't stay. "
Xia De muttered and walked over, directly touching the severely deformed spirit body with his hands;
"Guide to death."
Under the winter starry night, the scenery under the trees of the hill disappeared. Originally, Xia De should have seen the deepest memory of this man's life at this time, but the scene in front of him had just taken shape from a certain classroom, and then everything became chaotic.
Some kind of extreme malice stared at Xia De in those chaotic scenes. Without "her" reminding, Xia De took the initiative to withdraw his hand.
Then look at the undead imprisoned by the [Great Sin Chains]. It is lying on the ground, basically unable to see its original shape.
Black particles continuously flew from the surface of the spirit body towards the sky above the huge dead tree, and the spirit body became thinner and thinner as a result. The soul is crumbling, and the only remaining normal hand is trying to reach Shade:
"help me.
But it was too late, the corruption of demonic forces predates this wedding banquet, and this is not a process that can be reversed.
"Vision."
With his back turned to Oxenfurt, Shad used thaumaturgy again. In the normal field of vision, as the black particles fly, the soul gradually becomes invisible. But in the special field of vision of thaumaturgy, what Xia De saw was the soul petrifying. During the process of petrification, something like rose vines forcibly drilled out of the loose cracks in the gray stone.
Those vines were just dancing, but the soul crawling under the tree in the snow stretched out Xia De's hand, but did not touch him after all. Starting from the fingertips, the petrified spirit body disintegrated into powder, and soon only left invisible fly ash in place.
Of course, these are just thaumaturgical [vision magic] vision
What Xia De saw with his eyes, what Xia De saw with his normal eyes was that the spirit body became transparent and then disappeared, leaving a black lacquered stone full of runes on the ground.
"It's so sad."
Stone Oxenfurt came to Shad from behind him, bent down and picked up the black stone left after the spirit body collapsed. Xia De retracted the chain, and the two stood under the tree together, looking at the lights in the manor under the hill.
"Why do you say he's pathetic?"
Shad asked.
"I don't fight for the woman I love before I die, but only after I die ~www.mtlnovel.com~ I finally ended up like this, isn't it sad?"
Oxenfurt asked back, seeing that Xia De didn't want to express his opinion, he changed the question:
I thought you'd want to go back to the manor now and give tonight's bride some small punishment for her infidelity. "
"Are you misunderstood who I am? What does this have to do with me?"
Xia De snorted, frowned and looked at the manor where the banquet was held, and stabbed the rusty long sword in his hand into the snow under his feet:
"The sheep in the East Village ate the grass in the West Village, the wedding ring of the village head was stolen, the cat of the old woman at the entrance of the village was lost last night, and a woman she didn't know admitted to having cheated on her at the wedding... These messy things almost happened. Do I have to take care of it anywhere? What does it have to do with me?"
"I thought you were one of the knights, the kind of guy who would take care of any injustice. "
There was a hint of ridicule in Oxenfurt's tone:
"I really should have insisted on betting with you just now, betting on the ending of this story. If you agree, I will finally be able to beat you this time. "
"There is always a day when you lose in gambling."
Shad turned to look at him
"And the only gamble we're sure of is that mortals are mortal."
He has an extraordinary understanding of this matter.
