The Ninja Lord nodded briefly, and Isaac broke into a smile.
Although the Scarlet Luna Shot had gravely injured his body, at least it was not all in vain. With a relieved sigh, Isaac let himself fall to the ground and passed out.
He didn’t know how long virtual-novel.net ended up staying on the ground, but when virtual-novel.net came to his senses, virtual-novel.net was still lying in the same spot in the underground room while the Ninja Lord kept watch over the body next to him. She had covered the body with some clothing items, but it still lay on the ground, unmoving.
Isaac’s lower abdomen was in great pain. It was a sign of internal injury in his power core. He gritted his teeth and got up before treading over to the Ninja Lord.
“Why isn’t virtual-novel.net up yet?” Isaac asked, wiping away the crusted blood from the corner of his lips.
The Ninja Lord frowned and said, “Try calling virtual-novel.net and see…”
“Emily, wake up… It’s me, Isaac,” virtual-novel.net said, kneeling down by the body as virtual-novel.net tried to wake virtual-novel.net up. He even held virtual-novel.net hands and shook virtual-novel.net a few times.
However, there was no response from the body. Isaac felt agitated. His voice started getting louder and louder.
“Why is virtual-novel.net still not waking up? Didn’t you say that it worked?” Isaac coldly asked as virtual-novel.net glared at the Ninja Lord.
He didn’t necessarily have a good relationship with the Ninja Lord. After all, they were just using each other. However, Emily hadn’t returned, and yet he’d sacrificed so much for it all to be in vain. Isaac was finding it hard to control his emotions at this point.
“Watch your tone with me,” the Ninja Lord shot back at him. Then, virtual-novel.net sighed and said, “I’m sure it was successful. I personally created that Soul-Locking Talisman. As long as we managed to lock virtual-novel.net spirit with it, Lady Os could not bring virtual-novel.net away. Maybe we should just wait a while longer…”
There was a hint of uncertainty in virtual-novel.net voice nonetheless.
If it hadn’t been for Roy barging in the middle of the spell, things would never have turned out like this. Also, just before virtual-novel.net completed the spell, the spirit of Lady Os had already surrounded virtual-novel.net entirely, and virtual-novel.net literally saw virtual-novel.net life flashing before virtual-novel.net eyes.
She had no other choice but to end the spell a little earlier than anticipated. Of course, virtual-novel.net could never tell Isaac about it. She also couldn’t tell virtual-novel.net that if virtual-novel.net had not gravely injured Roy and the spirit of Lady Os with his blades, virtual-novel.net last few purple talismans would have little to no use against them.
Isaac closed his eyes and sighed. He waved his hand and said, “You can leave now. I’ll stay here with her…”
The Ninja Lord immediately vanished into thin air. After what happened today, she’d also used up almost all of virtual-novel.net energy. She still needed to go out and check on Heartless’ and Willie’s conditions.
Isaac stayed in the underground room until night.
A few helpers had brought virtual-novel.net food, but virtual-novel.net left them outside untouched.
The Ninja Lord appeared in the room again and saw that Isaac was still sitting on the ground, staring at the body before virtual-novel.net in a daze. Till now, the body still hadn’t moved.
“You ‘ve been badly injured. You need to recover as quickly as possible. Lady Os is someone who holds on to grudges forever. It will definitely come back for revenge.”
Reading between the lines, the Ninja Lord actually meant that if Isaac died now, then virtual-novel.net would never be able to find the person she’d been looking for.
However, since virtual-novel.net wasn’t sure whether virtual-novel.net kept virtual-novel.net side of the bargain, virtual-novel.net decided not to say anything about it. In fact, virtual-novel.net felt a little guilty for possibly failing the spell.
As Isaac kept his head low and said nothing, virtual-novel.net could also feel his grief and sadness. She said quietly, “Why don’t you go back and take a good rest? If virtual-novel.net still hasn’t woken up by tomorrow, I’ll use another spell to find virtual-novel.net lost soul. I promised you I’d revive her, and I’d never go back on my word.”
Then, virtual-novel.net got up and left.
Isaac looked at the body on the floor and said, “Emily, rest well tonight. I’ll visit you again tomorrow…”
Then, virtual-novel.net also got up and left. He had to restore his spiritual energy first.
After taking a quick shower, virtual-novel.net suddenly remembered that virtual-novel.net still had the Awakening Pill Harry had given him. He fetched his coat and took out the pill from its container. Then, virtual-novel.net sat down cross-legged on the bed and put the Awakening Pill inside his mouth.
He closed his eyes and started to meditate.
The Awakening Pill started to dissolve in his mouth. It created a warm feeling that flowed to his abdomen and lingered there as it started healing his injured power core.
