Chapter 474 - 8.74 Sacrifice
So this was the ultimate pit that this world had dug for him.
Lu Yizhou understood everything now. Baines was not afraid that his ally, 404, had been defeated by 666, nor did he show a hint of panic on his current situation because he had grasped onto an impenetrable armor — Lu Yizhou’s lover.
Supposing that Baines had been receiving power from the black witch’s sacrifice, then the same would also apply to his lover. Their lives were tied together. The more powerful Baines was, his lover would also gain strength. But at the end of the day, it was a forbidden magic.

Otherwise, how could Lu Yizhou explain the existence of Ella and Ellie?
Both of them had granted Lu Yizhou a powerful skill card and escorted him to this place. They said that only Lu Yizhou could save them, so there must be a way! He recalled Ellie saying ’one more’ but until now, he still did not know what she meant—
