Chapter 40: Chapter 40. Regret
Reflexively he again tried to attack the old woman blindly and to no avail, Mana in his body it was like being shackled by something. It lasted a few seconds as several chains of fire wrapped around his hands, feet, and neck. Each chain originating from the end of the line on the foot of the five masked men.
"Want to trick me?" the old woman spoke again.
"Tsskk, it's not that easy to use mana once the spell is active. Want to know why your power isn't working? That's because the souls of beings that have been absorbed by this rune circle have cut the mana chains in your body that are in direct contact with your strength, and thousands of lives have become victims, isn't that great? and next is your turn, young man, Hahahahahaha."
"Mom, quickly leave this place!" shouted Wan Lie trying to turn his head and found Fu Xie Lan's weak gaze.
"Enough for playing, young people," the atmosphere was getting tense and very dark like at night.
The woman then opened her mouth very wide like a wild animal that wanted to prey on something.
Wan Lie felt his body slowly weaken, the pain he felt began to radiate from his feet to his head. The pain was getting more and more intense and made him unable to endure.
While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan with her breath weakening watched everything very clearly, the ground that supported her head was already wet with tears. She did not think that hee ridiculous, selfish deal would end in bad luck for others. Feeling unwilling and hurt to see that young man in pain made her inflamed. The light that was in the form of tiny stars evaporated into the air and entered the old woman's mouth, it was the natural mana that resided in Wan Lie's body. Fu Xie Lan panicked but couldn't do much. Even though Wan Lie did not make the slightest sound, she knew that the young man was holding back with all her might just because she didn't want to worry her.
She couldn't watch this any longer.
"Someone, please help me," she wailed to herself.
"I am sorry mom, "whispered Wan Lie, but she could still hear his voice clearly.
"Noooooo," shouted Fu Xie Lan when she saw the young man now passed out .
"Noooo, please let him live, I beg you," Fu Xie Lan shouted hysterically, she struggled to approach the old woman's existence by dragging her body.
The changes that could be seen with the naked eye occurred in the woman, her body no longer bent over, the wrinkles on her skin also disappeared.
"Stop," shouted Fu Xie Lan again, this time she had already reached the old woman and managed to push her away.
"I don't like it when someone interrupts my pleasure."
Succeeded, the old woman stopped her activities, and turned towards Fu Xie lan, holding her chin so firmly that Fu Xie Lan grimaced in pain.
"Little bitch, how about I eat you before consuming the Mana on that young man's body?" said the old woman then tightened her grip on Fu Xie Lan's chin.
Fu Xie Lan wanted to rebel but couldn't move at all and could only surrender. Maybe her life end here? How is her revenge on the Zu kingdom? What is the fate of the other soul sealed within her body?
Green and brown life energy slowly started coming out of Fu Xie Lan's mouth towards the old woman's palm, she was planning to make the little girl's mana into her reserve mana in the future, so that when her body started to age, she could use that mana to prevent it
"huh? She said in surprise when she felt the mana coming from Fu Xie Lan's body
"Interesting, I should have eaten you first," she added, as if she regretted her actions.

Two men entered the borders of the Magician race at the same time. They flew side by side against the direction of the blowing wind. From above they could see the buildings of the residents that were neatly lined up, several grasslands filled with weeds also entered the scenery, the meandering river currents and dense forests with several barren hills that seemed to separate themselves clearly visible below. .
"Momo, don't you think you want to rest for a moment? My wings are very tired," said the man in black. Yes, they are the bodyguards of Bai, Bai Mo, and Bai Xue.
Bai Mo just glanced over without any intention of responding. Their task had just been completed and they should report as soon as possible.
"Momo, can't you hear me? My wings are very tired," Bai Xue repeated.
"Stop acting like a child, this isn't your first time after all."
Received an unwanted response made him not give up, he then flew to the right side of Bai Mo then to the left side, he did it for some minutes to tease his friend.
"I thought maybe you could still fly hundreds of miles away," said Bai Mo irritably.
"Just a moment, can I?"
"Not!" refused Bai Mo for the umpteenth time.
Suddenly from the opposite direction, a crow approached them. Perched on Bai Mo's index finger. The bird was silent for a while as if it was conveying something to him then it flew into the air and disappeared. it was not a real bird but a dense black smog that resembled a bird.
"What did he say? Was there anything?" Bai Xue asked curiously
"I guess we need to rest for a while," said Bai Mo without turning to Bai Xue.
"Eh? Why suddenly? What did the bird say?" He knew that it was Lord Gu's creation.
"Nothing so important,"
"Okay, I hope so,"
"Look! Isn't that downtown Phillony?" Bai Xue pointed at the building of the phoenix academy.
"I think so."
"Why is it so busy?"
Bai Mo only shrugged his shoulders as a sign that he didn't know either. Slowly they flew low to make it easier for them to land on the ground.
"Momo, this is Phillony City, right? Why do I feel like I am in Kanca?" said Bai Xue when he saw several people going in and out of the gate of the Phoenix Academy.
Hearing the conversation of people passing by, it didn't take them long to find out that a pury test was being carried out today. They then look for a suitable place to relax and unwind.

"Interesting, I should have eaten you first," added the old woman again as if she was regretting her actions.
The pain like of being skinned alive made Fu Xie Lan scream in resignation. Her breathing was heavy, cold sweat started pouring down her body, her neck veins also appeared on the surface. It hurt so much like something had been forcibly snatched away inside her. It happened for a few seconds making Fu Xie Lan's body weaker even more with fading consciousness as well.
When she felt that she was at the end of her consciousness, she felt her whole body very hot, dizziness with nausea contributed to her suffering before the darkness actually took her away.
An enormous mana wave suddenly appeared and managed to startle the old woman
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?" The young girl who she was sure had lost consciousness, now opened her eyes and glared at her. Reflex she let go and stop all activities.
The girl's violet pupil had now turned sapphire blue and was glaring at him with the corners of her lips curved, grinning.
"LONG TIME NO SEE, BLACK WITCH."
