Mariana felt the changes gradually taking place in her body, and painful wails filled her ears.
This assassination seemed to have been planned for a long time. Not only did a special person lure away most of the guards brought today, but they also trapped them here, unable to call for help from other people attending the banquet.
This was inside the Lehua Manor. These assassins were able to come in, and even now no one had come to save them, which made her unable to help but have some bad guesses.
She didn't know how long she could hold on, after all, the person opposite was stronger than her. She was just a "physician" when she left the church. After so many years of living a comfortable life, she was not very good at fighting.
The opponent is a mid-level warrior in the "Hunter" category, and his combat power is obviously stronger than his own.
He could only rely on the "Ring of Thorns" that Lorenzo gave him back then to survive.
But the price she had to pay for this extraordinary item was not small. She could clearly feel some kind of change occurring in her body and mind. She knew very well that this was some kind of pollution from an unknown source.
If he were still in the church, he would definitely stop using this item immediately and ask for purification from the church.
No, it's too late now, she has already undergone a mutation... Lorenzo and Aurelio are behind her, she can't retreat no matter what, only by relying on this item can she be here persevere in the battle.
She could no longer see the enemy's face clearly, her vision was gray, and everything she could see was strangely distorted. But inexplicably, she could feel all the breaths, or emotions, in this room? She could feel the enemy's pleasure as if teasing his prey, as well as the feeling that made her extremely disgusted. She could feel Aurelio's anxiety and powerlessness, and she could feel the anger and...sadness in Lorenzo's heart?
Aurelio was injured before, and she wanted to help him see and treat him. But no, she could feel that Aurelio was still alive. As long as he was still alive, if she could persist until others discovered it and until the church's support arrived, then the church would naturally be able to heal him no matter how serious the injury was. But if... there is no if!
Just now, she could vaguely feel a person standing at the door. The smell seemed familiar, but also strange.
Is it someone from the church?
There was some hope in Mariana's heart, but she was not sure.
She tried hard to block the enemy's fire crow, but her eyes subconsciously turned to the door.
"What are you looking at?" the enemy asked with a smile, but did not turn his head.
"No one will come in. This house has been sealed." The enemy said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but felt his neck being pinched.
He felt like he was being thrown far away, and the bones in his body seemed to make a crisp sound.
He was thrown to the ground so hard that his internal organs seemed to shift position.
A white shadow instantly appeared in front of him, it was a "werewolf"!
How could a "werewolf" appear here? Moreover, the eyes of this "werewolf" were blood red, and he was obviously in an irrational state...
"you......"
For a moment, many thoughts went through his mind. He wanted to open his mouth and try to say something to delay time, but he saw his arms flying out, and then the pain from the fracture filled his brain. He couldn't help it. A howl came out.
The "werewolf" ignored him and casually tore off his right leg.
A large amount of blood flowed out from the three places where his wound was broken. He only felt that the heat in his body was losing rapidly, and the strength in his body was disappearing.
The redness in the "werewolf's" eyes seemed to have weakened a bit.
"Who asked you to assassinate?" A hoarse female voice came from the "werewolf"'s mouth.
He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
"Guess! If you guess it, I'll tell you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his consciousness blurred for a moment.
He saw his headless body and his limbs scattered everywhere.
The "werewolf" didn't look at him again, turned around and walked towards the countess.
...
Agnes reached out and slowly picked up her mother who fell to the ground after stopping fighting.
Her mother seemed to be unconscious. Agnes knew very well the reason why her mother was like this. This knowledge existed in her mind, but she would rather not know.
"Ring of Thorns", or should be called "Beacon of Thorns", activate it to get the power you want, but at the same time it will also gradually transform the user into a "soul sender", which is an irreversible process , the longer the activation time, the deeper the degree of transformation.
As for what the "sender" sent, Agnes had a rough guess, which made her feel powerless and painful.
It had been too long since my mother had turned on the "Thorn Beacon". The transformation was almost complete, and she had no choice.
If I had come earlier...
"Agnès?" Aurelio looked at the white figure in front of him in surprise.
This white figure fits the image of the legendary "werewolf" very well. It has sharp claws and sharp fangs in its mouth. Its body is covered with white hair, and only its figure still has some shadow of Agnes.
He staggered and tried to stand.
Agnes ignored him and looked a little dazed. She hugged her mother without making any movement.
"Kill me! Kill me!"
Mariana couldn't see clearly who was holding her, but the aura had a sense of familiarity, and she could also feel the enemy's aura disappearing under this person's hand. The other person should not be an enemy.
There was no movement from the person holding her, and she couldn't help but become anxious. Her palms tightly grasped the other person's collar.
"......good."
Some familiar voices sounded above her head, but she couldn't remember who the voices belonged to.
She understood the meaning of the word and suddenly felt relaxed.
"Agnès, you?" Aurelio was a little frightened. His body that had just stood up fell to the ground again. He saw that the blood-stained white hair on Agnes's body disappeared and she returned to her normal human form.
He saw Agnes pull out a dagger from her leg, stab it straight into his mother's heart, and speak eight syllables in a language he didn't understand.
"Agnès!" Aurelio's eyes turned red. He saw Agnes slowly pull out the dagger and throw it on the ground. She took off a ring from her mother's hand and stood up slowly. .
She slowly walked up to Aurelio, but he didn't make any move.
Agnes slowly squatted down and placed a potion in his hand.
"Healing Potion."
Agnes said softly, her voice a little hoarse. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.
She ignored her father the whole time.
On this day that belongs to the Mother Earth, a new round of prosperity and decline begins.
