Chapter 91: The Bloodthirsty Sword (5)
Ziken fired a flame spell into the sky.
Fweeeee! Bang!
The signal was clear. The operation to capture the demonic sword was complete, and the King’s Order members who had clocked out were to return. Meanwhile, Karnak was maintaining his grip on the demonic sword with his chains of magic, pouring his mana into them.
He called out to Ziken. "If you’re done over there, lend me a hand."
"Understood."
Dispelling the crystal prison spell, Ziken approached Karnak and added his own mana to the chains. The two mages would temporarily suppress the sword's power while waiting for Meiri and Milia to arrive. Once the priests were on the scene, they would seal the sword definitively with holy magic.
While the mages focused on the demonic sword, Triv and Harris approached Serati, who was tending to the gray-haired girl lying on the ground.
"What do we do with her?" Serati asked, glancing up at Triv.
"We’ll leave her to Meiri when she arrives," Triv replied calmly, his gaze softening as he looked at the girl. "Poor thing, having endured something like this at her age..."
Harris, too, examined her with a pang of pity. "Do you think she’ll wake up? Her body must’ve taken a beating."
Then Harris tilted his head, frowning slightly.
"This is strange."
