Chapter 370: Soul Seizing
Leon was only a hundred meters away from Ulrich.
But he couldn't run over.
The pain in his head was getting more and more severe. Leon felt his vision go dark and his whole body became stiff. The feeling he had experienced in the Temple of the God of Creation reappeared.
He stumbled a few steps with the Gate of the Abyss and found his body going numb.
It's getting out of control...
"Roland!"
Before his body completely lost consciousness, Leon roared loudly.
Perhaps, now only Roland's soul-calming technique can prevent him from being completely controlled.
But Roland was a little far away - he had just come out of Sarleon City and was dealing with the undead army brought by Kavala.
Originally, if Leon had not turned back to look for Ulrich, but had continued running towards the city gate, he would probably be by Roland's side now.
But now, although Roland heard Leon's shout, he was blocked by Kavala's undead army.
Le Ang was somewhat desperate. He was basically completely unable to move and had a splitting headache.
What should I do?
Martis said that Kavala possessed powerful spiritual power. How could he fight against Kavala?
Leon really has no experience in the battle between souls...
Moreover, before he could come up with any solution, Li Ang's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
This is not a coma, but a switch in the consciousness environment.
It was like a blink of an eye, and then Leon found himself in a chaotic space.
Leon was very familiar with this kind of space - it was basically the same as the 'void' he had been to before.
But this time, this chaotic space is not white.
This is a gray space, and occasionally a few rays of purple light can be seen seeping into it, making this space look less closed. The purple light at least gives people a sense of distance and direction.
But overall, this is still a gray "void" all around.
It seems that this is my soul space?
So...where is that void that I experienced before?
There was not only Leon in this space, there were two other figures.
One is a tall golden shadow, whose face cannot be seen clearly, but gives a very strong sense of oppression.
The other one was a pure black female figure.
These should be Kavala and Anna.
But unexpectedly, Leon thought Anna was fighting with Kavala, but they were not fighting each other, but were negotiating a deal...
"Kavala, you promised me that if I handed Leon over to you, you would release Ulrich... You must keep your promise, otherwise no one will have a good life..."
This is Anna's voice.
"Of course, there are no lies between spirits. I promise that you can stay with Ulrich forever... I will also rescue your two sisters..."
Kavala said: "Now, should you help me banish this alien soul to the abyss?"
Exile souls to another world?
Is this talking about me?
Li Ang thought.
"Yes, I'm talking about you, kid... I knew you wouldn't be killed by Azi Dahaka. Your soul doesn't belong to this world... But at least, the evil spirits of the abyss can devour you! I originally wanted to sign a soul contract with you, but Maltis's performance made me realize that banishing you to the abyss is the safest way."
Kavala's voice rang out.
Oh... this is communication between spirits. They can directly hear each other's thoughts...
Li Ang has realized that he has been fooled.
Kavala simply could not forcibly devour or exile his own soul - this was an ability only the Three Prophets possessed.
The Abyss was created by the Goddess of Justice, and the Goddess of Darkness is her ally. The Three Prophets are the gatekeepers of the Abyss left by the Goddess of Darkness - only they can exile souls to the Abyss.
Kavala wanted to completely eliminate this 'evil spirit from another world' that had occupied the body of his descendant.
If he had not picked up the Gate of the Abyss again and had gone directly back to Roland and Wendy, this would probably not have happened.
Roland should be allowed to take the Gate of the Abyss. He is the 'chosen one' of the goddess of justice and has the ability to calm souls. Even Aigram cannot affect Roland, so his soul Anna will definitely not be able to enter.
Kavala is not a demon, he can't do anything to his own soul, he can only negotiate with himself at most. Only Anna, or only the three prophets, can deal with his own soul directly...
But Anna misled herself with a series of completely true lies, causing herself to react incorrectly, opening the door to the abyss and letting Anna in...
Yes, all true lies.
Ulrich's soul was indeed controlled by Kavala, and Kavala did originally want to control himself.
But after signing the soul contract, Maltis still escaped from Kavala's control, which made Kavala no longer believe in the soul contract. He now planned to exile himself to the abyss...
So he let Anna exile him on the condition of releasing Ulrich...
"Anna, don't you want your sisters? Kavala can't save them. They are locked in the territory of the Noldor elves..."
Now knowing that Anna is the 'executioner', Leon tries to save himself.
"As long as your body is there, the Noldor elves will naturally obey... Anna, you can even use his body to rescue your sisters yourself..."
Kavala said slowly.
"I'm afraid you can't do it... Anna, Cersei and Medea are imprisoned in White Hart Castle, but that place has been completely sealed off. Even I don't know how to open it. Now White Hart Castle is Wendy's territory. Do you think you can use my body to hide it from Wendy? Ha... You couldn't even hide it from Ulrich, right? As long as you find out that something is wrong with me, what do you think Wendy will do?"
Li Ang sneered.
This is not a scam. Spirits cannot deceive because they can hear the other person's thoughts.
The main building where Circe and Medea were imprisoned was indeed sealed by Wendy, because she was the only one who could ban magic at that time.
As for how Wendy sealed off the main building of White Deer Castle, Leon really didn't know - he didn't have the time to take care of the specific layout of the cells.
"Humph... they won't be killed... the souls of the three of us sisters are immortal! I will rescue them sooner or later."
Anna is not threatened by Leon.
"Of course, maybe you are indeed immortal, but they will be suppressed in White Hart Castle or Eracle... Anyway, these are the places where the Noldor elves live, and magic is definitely forbidden there."
"And Wendy knows all your abilities - unless you can completely wipe out the Noldor elves... but do you think you can do it?"
"Will Kavala make you strong enough to destroy the Noldor elves? He will never let you three sisters be together! Believe it or not, what he said about rescuing your sisters is actually to sign a soul contract with the three of you..."
Li Ang started to sow discord, which was his specialty.
This is obvious. Kavala will not allow anyone to pose a threat to him, and naturally he will not allow the three prophets to have too strong strength...
"Wendy... that Noldor elf, that little girl? Do you think she can stop my will?"
When all communication is true and there are no lies, the effect of sowing discord is of course very strong... Kavala probably realized this, and he changed the subject to prevent Anna from being misled by Leon.
"That little girl is now a student of Maltis. Maltis said she is a Sindarri - I also think she might be a Sindarri. Your Majesty Kavala, do you think that two Sindarri elves together can stop your will?"
Li Ang said with a hint of sarcasm: "I even think that if Wendy is given enough time, she might be able to become the queen of the world... As it happens, the thing that elves have the most is time."
This is indeed what Li Ang really thinks, and he has had this idea since the moment he became Wendy's teacher...
"Okay, stop talking... Anna, do it, if you still want to see Ulrich..."
Kavala obviously didn't want to communicate with Leon anymore and urged Anna to act quickly.
"You are still here, how can I take action? Should I take both of you into the abyss together?"
Anna said to Kavala.
Kavala snorted and then disappeared.
But Anna didn't do anything , she was obviously still hesitating.
"On one side is love, on the other side is friendship... Anna, you are very conflicted, right? I have a way to have the best of both worlds, are you interested?"
Li Ang saw an opportunity and began to implement rebellion.
"…What method?"
Anna asked after a moment of silence.
"While the gate to the abyss is still here, banish Kavala to the abyss. If that's not possible, try to hold him back... I once swore a soul oath to Medea that as long as she helped me deal with Aigrim, I would reunite you sisters; now I swear with my soul , I promise to let you and Ulric be together, and let you sisters serve as your gods' messengers."
Li Ang's tone was very serious: "You should understand that I am definitely more reliable than Kavala. Kavala has the ability to kill you completely, but I don't have this ability... If you kill me, then you will lose your power to Kavala. Do you think he will keep you to threaten him?"
Sometimes, not being as capable as others is also an advantage...
But although Kavala has the ability to kill the three prophets, he doesn't dare to do it - if he wants to kill the three prophets completely, Kavala will have to use divine magic, and he may have to use all his strength...
He was not sure whether using divine magic on earth would violate the prohibition . He did not dare to do so. Otherwise, he would not have to let Anna deal with Leon...
Anna was obviously more hesitant, and her mind was probably full of thoughts like 'what should I do'.
"Leon, I believe you, but Ulrich's soul is controlled by him... I'm sorry..."
After a while, Anna seemed to have made a choice, but unfortunately this choice seemed to be unfavorable to Leon.
"Maltis was also controlled by him, but now he is free... I know how to get Ulric out of his control. Besides, you can definitely let Ulric enter the Gate of the Abyss first, right? As long as his soul is under your care, even if he has signed a soul contract, Kavala can't take him away from you by force, right?"
Li Ang is still making his final effort.
"It's impossible to take it away, but how can we cancel the soul contract? This is a contract with God..."
Anna asked.
"There are many ways to do it... For example, reactivating Azi Dahaka, or making Kavala no longer qualified to be a god... Don't think that God is so powerful. He is just a more powerful evil spirit of the abyss..."
Li Ang spoke very firmly this time.
Indeed, in Leon's view, God is not invincible.
"By the way, Ulrik once asked me to do him a favor. He wanted me to bring you to him. You might as well go meet Ulrik first. I think he may have something to say to you."
Leon added that this was indeed what Ulrich said in the temple.
This sentence obviously had a greater effect than anything else. Anna was silent for a while and then agreed: "Then you bring the Gate of the Abyss to Ulrich... Be careful not to be discovered by Kavala, he is in the Gate of the Abyss now."
Anna was still in Leon's soul space, but Leon opened his eyes.
He was still lying on the ground, still holding the Gate of the Abyss in his hands.
But now, he could feel himself regaining control of his body.
However, this time, he just stood up stiffly, without any expression on his face, and stood up slowly.
If Leon's soul was expelled to the abyss, then this body should be occupied by Anna...
Recalling the time when he saw Anna and Ulrich coming down the stairs together in the House of Nobles, Leon smiled slightly and imitated Anna's posture, taking coquettish cat steps, and walked towards Ulrich's position step by step.
That's exactly how Anna walks. She is a woman after all...
Roland, Wendy and the others who were approaching Leon all widened their eyes as they watched Leon thrust his chest and twist his hips...
Lisa Dilan even planned to shoot Leon to death, not because he realized that Leon might be possessed by evil spirits, but because the posture of this rough old man Leon was too hot to the eyes...
But in the end, no one really took action against Li Ang.
Kavala did not interfere anymore, and even the undead avoided Leon - Kavala probably also thought it was Anna.
Leon successfully covered the distance of a hundred meters with his acting skills and handed the Gate of the Abyss to Ulrich.
If Anna exiled Leon's soul, then according to the agreement between Anna and Kavala, the Gate of the Abyss should indeed be handed over to Ulrich - Kavala must release Ulrich's soul and let Ulrich and Anna meet in the Gate of the Abyss.
Li Ang had no idea what exactly happened in the Gate of the Abyss.
But not long after, Ulrich fell down...
Leon immediately took the Gate of the Abyss back in his hand, and by the way, he grabbed the Ring of the Supreme King.
"Hurry up and find a place where magic can be banned!"
As soon as I got the Gate of the Abyss, I heard Anna's hurried voice.
"Wendy! Roland!"
Leon shouted and started running towards Wendy again.
Kavala is a spirit now and probably can't do anything to himself. Without being able to use divine magic, the gods are no threat at all and are no better than the three prophets.
But there was nothing I could do about Kavala.
But since Anna asked her to find a place where magic is forbidden, it means that she can temporarily delay Kavala!
With the support of the Horned Viper Vanguards, Maltis finally chopped down the undead around her. Seeing that Ulric had fallen, she ran back directly protecting Leon.
Roland, Wendy and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing had happened to Leon. They were indeed scared just now.
"Wendy, bring the guards to surround me, don't leave my side..."
"Roland, you will be in charge of the troops. Kill all the undead here."
"Klose, the Silver Hand will temporarily obey Sir Roland's orders... After the battle, destroy all the statues of Kavala in the city. Don't leave any!"
"Ramon, take your people and follow me..."
After making some arrangements, Leon took Wendy and rode quickly towards White Deer Castle.
