243:
“Princess Eden.”
Vincent glanced at the statue’s feet, which were still emitting a golden light, and then he ran to the front of Eden.
“Are you alright? Princess Eden.”
Blood flowed from Eden’s left eye. Because of the great pain, she had directly fallen into a coma.
“Regina.”
Although Vincent’s expression was serious, he was not flustered. He skillfully took the package she handed over and took out a bottle of green potion from it.
Although Regina had handed over the package, she was very reluctant. She was also a little hesitant to see Vincent’s actions, so she said, “Vincent, are you really going to use this bottle of potion on her… on her.”
At this time, Norma also spoke with a few young girls, “Lord Vincent, this kind of precious potion should not be wasted on someone with no combat power like her.”
“You and Lady Regina are the ones who should use this potion.”
“What if you are injured? We will all be in danger.”
At the mention of their own safety, the other wavering people no longer hesitated. They all began to persuade Vincent not to use the potion, that a simple bandage would be enough.
And at this time, Eden’s blood was still flowing…
No one knew that although Eden was physically in a coma, her consciousness was clear. It was even more sensitive than usual. She could imagine their expressions from their voices.
Everyone’s indifference, nervousness, and malice… Even Vincent, who had always taken good care of her, his heartbeat and body reaction all showed his true thoughts… not to use the potion.
Eden didn’t care if the potion was used or not. She just wanted these people to save her. She lay on the ground in despair, feeling her eyes were so hot, but her body temperature was gradually dropping.
After a simple bandage, they placed Eden on the statue and carried her out of the cave together.
No one noticed that when Eden was being carried along with the statue’s ups and downs… a drop of tear mixed with blood fell on the statue’s foot.
…
Shelley appeared in Eden’s mind. He looked at the small soul huddled in a corner and said, a little speechless, “So… I, this artifact spirit, have been claimed by a drop of blood?”
No way. That middle-aged handsome guy, although a little weak, was at least a man. How did I end up in a little girl’s soul?
“This is so sad.”
[Although you say that…]
[But you didn’t resist just now, did you?]
[I clearly told you that you could choose not to choose her.]
[It was clearly you who thought she was pitiful.]
“Cough, cough, cough…”
[Hah.]
[A man who says one thing and does another.]
Shelley pretended not to hear her words and began to seriously study this body.
“She has talent, but it seems she hasn’t been trained.”
“Her body is very weak, and she’s in a state of blood loss right now.”
“Can she be saved?”
[It depends on you…]
[Whether you are willing to consume your precious divine power.]
Controlling Eden’s body, he gently moved his fingers. Shelley said helplessly, “I’m already here…”
“I can only treat it as an early investment.”
“This…”
Reading Eden’s memories, Shelley’s expression also constantly changed.
Originally, this Material Plane was a low-magic world as Shelley had expected. The highest strength, converted into professional levels, would not exceed 15. That is to say, the strength ceiling was below the high-rank.
This was originally a good thing. Shelley could easily beat up the little ones and happily preach… directly become the king of this world, and crush their heroes would be like bullying a child…
But… this world was already in danger under the invasion of the devils.
That’s right. This world had been discovered by the devils. The main force of the Lawful Evil alignment, the devil army, had appeared here from a spatial rift.
But Shelley estimated that it couldn’t be the Blood War army, at most it was the private army of some devil noble. Otherwise, this world would have collapsed long ago, and there would be no need for the savior Shelley to appear…
And Eden and the others, besides the soldiers who were fighting the devils on the front lines, were the strongest fighting force. They were divided into many teams, following the ancient historical records to find ancient ruins, hoping to obtain the power to fight against the devils.
“By the way, this world is really so amazing.”
“A domain that the gods have not set foot in, the devils have actually extended their claws here.”
[Hah. Those despicable devils will take advantage of any opportunity.]
“Yes, yes… the Hydra, no…”
“Long live the demons.”
In the soul space, Shelley was in his half-incubus form, which was more in line with human aesthetics than an incubus.
Shelley floated to the front of Eden, extended his right hand, and gently tapped her frowning brow.
“A girl shouldn’t always frown. It’s not good-looking.”
A little bit of divine light shone from Shelley’s fingertip, and then it entered Eden’s soul.
“Poor child, wake up.”
Today, I’m going to be the old grandpa in her head.
…
“Ugh…”
A soft moan attracted the attention of the entire team. They raised their swords with a wary expression and pointed them at the source of the sound.
“Stop.”
They saw the girl who was supposed to be dying move her fingers, and then her body twisted in pain.
In an instant, a brilliant light shone. The light on the statue under Eden’s body quickly flowed into her body.
“Ah, that treasure.”
Regina was just about to go up and pull her down when she was stopped by Vincent’s arm. He said in a low voice, “Wait a minute.”
His eyes were filled with deep confusion and a hint of expectation.
After a violent struggle, Eden’s body stopped, and then she slowly floated up.
“She’s flying! She’s flying!”
“Eden” slowly opened her left eye, and then she gently floated to the ground, reached out, and pulled off the bandage on her face… revealing her now-golden eyes.
“Oh my, this body is really so weak…”
“Hmm?”
“The stench of a devil?”
Eden, as if she had seen something incomprehensible, said, as if she were looking at a group of idiots, “Why didn’t you clear them out? You just let them wander here?”
“If you ask me… just kill them all.”
Vincent and the others were all stunned by “Eden’s” words. They didn’t know what to say and looked at each other, not daring to go forward.
Looking at Eden, who was constantly familiarizing herself with her body, Norma, who had a slightly higher status among the crowd, said, “Why should we believe you?”
Eden was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head left and right, then pointed at herself and asked, very puzzled, “Are you… talking to me?”
Norma nodded without hesitation, then revealed the pride of an earl’s eldest daughter, raised her head, and said, “Who else do you think?”
The smile on Eden’s face became more and more brilliant. She nodded and said with a smile, “Since you’re talking to me…”
“Then why are you still standing?”
Eden’s face became cold. She spat out an extremely cold voice, “Kneel…”
“Mortal.”
