Ti seed to have passed for a long ti, and it also seed to have passed in just a fleeting mont.
Anyway, in Yuli’s perception, her understanding of the outside world had beco chaotic, and her consciousness had been lost for an unknown duration.
In her mory, the last scene she saw was a flash of knife light.
A knife light capable of twisting space, capable of severing space.
It was this breathtaking knife light that cut through her physical shield, and severed her life.
Yuli didn’t even feel pain; her consciousness was already gone.
And her last thought was very simple.
"Am I... going to die?"
It must be certain, right?
After all, her entire body was sliced in two, split cleanly from head to toe into left and right halves. If she didn’t die, she would no longer be human but a monster.
Thus, Yuli could be certain she was dead, her consciousness completely lost.
However, at so unknown ti, her consciousness recovered in a vague haze, making Yuli feel like she was sinking into an invisible ocean, constantly falling to its unfathomable depths.
Until, a hand reached into this sea of souls, attempting to pull her out of the ocean.
"........"
At that mont, Yuli hesitated.
She had a feeling, as long as she held that hand, she could return to the original world, the original place, and be resurrected.
Yet from that hand, ca a breath that made her feel annoyed, as if the hand that previously pushed her into this ocean was also this hand, making Yuli instinctively resist.
But if she didn’t hold that hand, she couldn’t go back, couldn’t be resurrected, and her hard-earned hazy consciousness would once again dissipate.
If that happened, she might truly be dead, with no second chance.
Thinking of this, Yuli’s hesitation was gradually replaced by a desire.
She didn’t want to die.
She still had many things she wanted to do.
She didn’t want to stay in this bottomless Sea of Death, forever sinking.
Thus, Yuli dismissed her hesitation, suppressed her instinctive resistance, and with difficulty, reached out her hand to grasp the one reaching into the ocean.
In the next mont, a great force dragged her, pulling her upward.
"Splash!"
Before long, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, the soul of the girl nad Yuli was pulled out of the Sea of Death.
With this, her hazy consciousness was completely restored.
........
"If you’re awake, just open your eyes."
When this voice entered her ears, Yuli first felt nothing but an extre sense of weakness.
An overwhelming helplessness filled her entire being, giving Yuli the sensation of barely recovering from a severe illness, unable to get out of bed.
"I only asked you to open your eyes, not to move around wildly, it won’t take much effort."
That voice entered Yuli’s ears again.
"So, stop pretending to be dead, quickly open your eyes."
Listening to this rather annoying voice, Yuli finally stopped wallowing in her helplessness, and with effort, opened her eyes.
In the next second, several figures ca into Yuli’s view.
Leading them was that hateful, arrogant person.
"You’re quite unlucky, because I was using that technique for the first ti and couldn’t hold back for a mont, so you just died once."
Reiger had already put away the knife, playing carelessly with the jade-like branch in his hand, looking at the girl with a smirk.
"You’re also very lucky, because I happened to have the ability to bring you back, and haven’t yet determined if you’re enemies. So, although you died once, I also saved you."
As soon as Reiger finished speaking, Liz, who cautiously peeked her head out from behind him, also spoke.
"Are, are you okay?"
Liz timidly asked.
Seeing this, Yuli subconsciously wanted to get up, but found herself completely powerless.
"You should save your strength." Reiger continued to play with the jade branch, nonchalantly saying, "Having just been resurrected, your life force is nearly exhausted, making you weaker than ever. Continuing to lie down is beneficial for you."
Regarding Reiger’s insincere advice, Yuli was reluctant to comply, but had no choice.
Because she was indeed very weak, without strength, even if she wanted to move, she couldn’t.
Confirming this, although unwilling, Yuli gave up resisting.
"...Where are my companions?"
After a while, Yuli asked with difficulty.
"Over there."
Reiger glanced sideways, leading Yuli’s vision to follow his gaze.
In the corner of the room, the young man previously called Leo by the girl lay there, seemingly in a deep sleep.
Yuloli crouched in front of him, holding the twisted curved sword the young man had previously wielded, gently pricking him, causing him to frown even in his sleep, clearly uncomfortable.
This scene made Yuli nervous.
No one else knew what that twisted curved sword taken out by Leo was, but Yuli was all too clear.
It was an extrely dangerous secret treasure, and if it accidentally hard Leo, it would be troubleso.
Reiger, observing Yuli’s anxious expression, took it all in.
"Ellie, bring it here."
At this mont, Reiger called out to Yuloli.
"?"
Yuloli tilted her head slightly, then got up after a mont, ran over to Reiger, and handed him the twisted curved sword.
"[Magic Level Ascension·High Order Artifact Identification]."
Reiger cast an identification spell, assessing the effects of the twisted curved sword.
The sword was nad the Curse Slayer.
As the na suggests, it is a magic sword wielding the power to curse and kill others.
When soone is wounded by this magic sword, whether critically or even if just a finger is nicked, the sword’s curse imdiately activates, cursing the person to death.
This curse-killing ability is extrely terrifying. Even with a secret treasure that obstructs the curse’s activation or renders it ineffective, escape from this curse-killing effect is impossible. The difference is rely whether death cos sooner or later.
From this, one can understand how dangerous and fearso this magic sword is. It is undoubtedly one of those forbidden weapons which rank high even among the many ancient secret treasures, far more dangerous than the cursed tools of the Earth Mistake World.
"Goodness, an item with instant death ability?"
Reiger didn’t expect the weapon the young man presented to be sothing of this danger.
If this weapon were placed in "YGGDRASIL", it would at least be a divine artifact-level item, perhaps even world-level.
However, this secret treasure has two flaws.
One is that it must injure a person to take effect, which ans that if it doesn’t wound anyone, it’s rely an ornant.
The second is that it doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe. It curses others if it wounds them, and it will curse the wielder if it injures them, sparing no one.
"Not bad, quite strong."
Reiger didn’t know if his abilities could prevent the curse from the Curse Slayer, thus he decided to confiscate it.
Of course, Reiger didn’t forget about the girl’s jade branch and cast an identification spell on it too, obtaining all the information about this secret treasure.
The true na of this jade branch is the Demon God’s Blessing.
According to the identification spell, it was crafted from the branches of the Tree of Life combined with the Wise Man’s Stone.
Both materials are products of ancient magical civilization, super rare alchemy materials even in those tis, and are now extinct in the modern era, impossible to find.
Moreover, its effects are astonishing, boasting six effects in total.
One: Counter all magic activated within the holder’s line of sight.
Two: Eliminate any magical interference affecting the holder.
Three: Greatly enhance the holder’s magic power.
Four: Largely reduce the conditions for the holder to activate magic.
Five: Lower the holder’s magic power consumption.
Six: Sense magic traps, barriers, and chanisms within a certain range.
"So strong?"
Reiger widened his eyes slightly.
The effects of the Demon God’s Blessing are so dazzling they could almost blind Reiger.
Reiger can confirm that it’s absolutely the wand every magician dreams of, a miracle in the world of magic, a grand secret treasure among grand secret treasures.
For a magician, such a wand is stronger than any holy sword or magic sword.
Reiger tried it out, and the results were, although unsure of the strength of the other five effects, that the effect of enhancing the holder’s magic power alone is already much stronger than his Morgan’s Ring.
"This is definitely a world-level item."
Moreover, it can rival the ultra-rare ancient secret treasures of the God of roai.
Understanding this, Reiger almost imdiately decided to keep the Demon God’s Blessing.
Undoubtedly, this is also sothing that needs to be confiscated, and it must be confiscated.
The Curse Slayer, Reiger could do without.
But this Demon God’s Blessing, he was determined to have.
Thanks to this, Reiger was in such a great mood that his gaze towards Ellie softened significantly.
"W-what are you going to do?"
However, in Ellie’s eyes, Reiger’s gaze was far from anything untoward.
No one knows what the girl was thinking, but she suddenly looked guarded and terrified.
"If you dare sell as a slave, I’ll never let you off even if I die!"
The girl even thought along those lines.
This made Reiger raise an eyebrow slightly.
"Don’t want to be sold as a slave?" he said unhurriedly. "Then just answer a few of my questions calmly."
"What questions?"
Ellie reflexively asked.
Reiger exchanged a glance with Liz.
"Shouldn’t it be asking you?" Reiger looked at Ellie and said, "Answer , are you people from the Hidden Land?"
Ellie fell silent imdiately.
After a long ti, she spoke coldly.
"Yes."
"We are people sent by the Hidden Land."
With these words, everyone fell silent, not speaking for a long ti.
