Chapter 257 (2): Teeth Gritted, It’s Not Impossible
The vengeful spirits returned. With Senna controlling their senses, the four killers couldn’t do anything, no matter how hard they tried. Due to their distorted senses, they fell into trap after trap.
The suppression was overwhelming. Apart from passively taking hits, there was nothing they could do.
All four Gold-ranked mages were veterans. Even Flora, who had the least experience, had access to advanced faith magic due to being the former Holy Maiden. Even though they were being beaten up one-sidedly, the vengeful spirits still couldn’t finish them off.
A game of cat and mouse began in the four corners of the forest. With Senna’s help, the four displayed their health bars and faced what could only be described as a battle of torment.
Wayne paid attention to no one but Flora.
To his surprise, Ottilia had no interest in taking revenge on Flora; Regina was the only one furiously attacking while Ottilia provided support.
Since it was a battle between a Silver-ranked mage and a Gold-ranked mage, it would take quite a while for Regina to deplete Flora’s health bar even with the Book of Greed’s enhancement.
“What’s wrong? Can’t bring yourself to do it?” Wayne stood beside Ottilia. Sensing her complicated emotions, he patted her shoulder. “If you don’t want to do it, just let Regina handle everything.”
“Can you spare her, Wayne?” Ottilia said with her head lowered after agonizing for a moment. “At the end of the day, she’s raised me. I’ll consider my death as payment for the debt I owed her. I no longer have anything to do with her now.”
Wayne fell silent. The bookish girl was too kind. She could even let go of her hatred for her killer... Perhaps it was because of her complicated feelings for Flora, or perhaps she had let go of her hatred when she almost faded away from fulfillment during the contracting process.
On one hand, it was a good thing. On the other hand, Flora didn’t deserve Ottilia’s kindness.
“Say something, Wayne!”
