On the huge altar, two figures stood in front of the ancient magic circle, looking at the girl in red who had just been teleported and bound in the magic circle.
"Hi, seeing you again, what a surprise!"
The high priest was still wearing his platinum priest robe that symbolized his sacredness and inviolability, but his face no longer had any trace of holiness, only greed in his eyes.
Beside him, a man in a black robe and a hood revealed his face, a face that was half human, half skeleton. This was a necromancer.
"You surprised me even more." The high priest looked at Sijiu in the magic circle with burning eyes, "You can actually heal the wound on the black dragon.
That is a forbidden spell of divine level.
No wonder the Black Dragon treats you as a treasure."
"So the high priest has finally lost his temper? He wants to treat me like he treated Charles? Use me as a test subject? A petri dish?"
The high priest sighed, "Your Highness knows so much."
Suddenly his expression turned grim again, "But don't you understand that the more you know, the faster you die?"
Before Sijiu could say anything, he suddenly heard a loud dragon roar.
"It came quickly."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Let's make a deal. You want the heart, and I want the bones." A fanatical expression crossed the necromancer's terrifying face. "I want to refine him alive into my most powerful puppet."
The high priest stopped talking and chanted a spell quickly. The magic circle was activated, and magical elements filled with a cold aura surrounded Si Jiu. A small magic pattern array next to it gradually lit up. With a hum, a figure appeared in the magic circle on Si Jiu's left hand side.
Charles closed his eyes and appeared in the magic circle unconsciously, his whole body floating in an upright position.
A bond formed by magic extended from his forehead and connected to Sijiu's forehead.
Si Jiu only felt a pain in his fingertips, and blood dripped down and fell on the magic lines on the ground. More and more blood flowed slowly in the magic lines that formed a pattern.
Xiu was extremely fast and appeared above the altar in the blink of an eye. Seeing the scene in front of him, he roared angrily and rushed down.
"Buzz~"
The magic circle on Sijiu's right hand side also lit up, as if to pull Xiu over, but as soon as those magic elements reached Xiu, they disappeared completely like a drop of water merging into the sea.
The high priest's eyes flashed with surprise, "How is that possible?"
Magic immunity.
Xiu saw Sijiu who was bleeding profusely at a glance. He rushed into the magic circle without hesitation and hugged Sijiu around the waist. Because of his intervention, the bond connecting Sijiu and Charles broke, and Charles' body fell to the ground. He slowly opened his eyes.
The massive blood loss in a short period of time made Si Jiu's face paler and paler.
The most terrible thing is not the blood loss, but the sharp pain in the heart.
"Hurry!" shouted the necromancer.
The high priest's face turned pale and he cast a spell. Si Jiu felt as if her heart was instantly pinched by a hand. She groaned in pain and her pupils dilated.
A violent aura instantly exploded in Xiu's body. He held Sijiu and rushed towards the high priest. With a "buzz", a blood-red light lit up on the magic circle. As soon as his body touched the red light, Sijiu screamed. Xiu stopped moving instantly and looked down at her helplessly.
Charles was awakened from his dazed state, "Your Highness."
The magic circle that bound him was ineffective when he was awake. He took a few steps out of the magic circle and saw the high priest and the necromancer at a glance.
"It's you! What did you do to His Highness?"
"My child, don't get excited. If you want her to die faster, you can of course take off your gloves and attack me." The high priest said sinisterly.
"Stop it. What do you want?"
"I want the dragon's heart and flesh, I want power and immortality."
Xiu raised his eyes and looked over.
The high priest smirked, "But the black dragon's scales are too tough. No weapon in the world can break through them. I was planning to use a lost forbidden technique, but you are completely immune to magic. I'm really surprised."
Although it was a surprise, the displeasure on the high priest's face was clearly visible.
"But now, I have a better idea." He looked straight at Xiu, "You want to save her life? Then cut open your chest and take out your heart for me."
