"What?" There was a gasp from the scene, and everyone looked at Zoe in unison - Camilla connected two souls, and since one side had disappeared, and the devil was unlikely to be able to speak as fast as he could, there was only one possibility left.

Elf's reaction was even quicker, and by the time the butler exclaimed, she had already acted. The main whisker, which was enough to crush the torso of the dinosaur, swept towards Zoe and pushed her to the ground, the force of which could be seen from the shattered stone slab behind the opponent's back, and it was obvious that the blow did not consider sparing her hand at all.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Zoe's mouth.

Then the hall fell into an eerie silence.

There is no doubt that Elf's move was to prevent the devil from taking possession of Zoe's body, and thus to erupt - the telepathic resonance made up for the lack of sensory control, and once the Divine Punishment Witch unleashed the forbidden realm, even a small gap could cause great damage.

In particular, most of the witches present were not ready to treat Zoe as an enemy.

I have to say that El, who was once the commander of the Holy Blessing Army, is indeed much higher than everyone else in terms of combat experience.

However, Zoe didn't make the final struggle as they imagined, or risk her life to the death. From the time the devil shouted the proclamation to the time she was pressed down by the Lord's beard, she was as motionless as a puppet, and there was no sign of being controlled.

"Has the devil's soul really transferred to this body?" said after a long pause.

"I've never been in a situation like this...... "Camilla's face is still palpitating, "although the resonance of the heart can be understood as a bridge, it is just another form of communication - how can it be possible to abandon the inherent body and directly invade the heart of the person who connects it?"

"Is there a way to confirm?" Tilly frowned.

"Unless it speaks. Elti loosened his beard, but remained imprisoned, "It's just that the possibility is really not small, the soul can't exist without the carrier, otherwise we wouldn't be so dependent on the underground civilization - self-annihilation of consciousness is absolutely impossible, and even if the devil does it, it won't do it any good, so we have to plan for the worst." 」

"I might have a way," Roland thought for a moment, "if I incorporated Zoe's pillar of light into the dream world......

"I don't agree!" Wendy immediately stopped, "any risk should be avoided for you. ”

"That's right, what if the enemy takes over your body?" Nightingale chimed in, "It's not a defeated soul battlefield, it's a real high-level devil!"

"The risk is not uncontrollable," Roland slowly thought about countermeasures, "If it can really enter the dream realm, the place of appearance must be fixed, as long as you arrange a team of divine punishment witches to dream together, it can completely destroy it before it can react." What's more, the dream world is not the same thing as the resonance of the soul at all, no matter what happens inside, it will not affect reality, as long as you wake up, the time in the dream will freeze, and any outsiders who do not belong to it will be forcibly expelled. So even in the worst-case scenario, where Zoe disappears and the devil replaces her, we can be confirmed. ”

"But......" Nightingale bit her lip and turned to look at Anna, "you should persuade him too." ”

"I'm not against him doing that. Anna said unexpectedly.

"Why?" Wendy and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

"Because that's how I was saved by him. She replied earnestly, "If someone had dissuaded him from making similar statements, I would have died on the gallows." Now let me be a dissuader, first of all I can't convince myself. Besides, I trust Roland's judgment - he must know that he is no longer single now. ”

While speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, their expressions full of tacit understanding and trust.

"......," Elti was silent for a long time, "Whatever the outcome, I'll thank you on behalf of Zoe. 」

"And I'd rather hear her say it herself. Roland nodded.

"I'm going to arrange for my most combat-capable companion to come over," Pasha said gratefully.

"Also, before you enter the dream realm, continue to be in a state of resonance," he said with a pretended relief, "Didn't Zoe say that as long as she didn't signal to stop, don't interrupt the resonance of the heart." If it's a contest of consciousness, it's not certain who will lose. ”

"Hey, female, guess what those bug buddies of yours are going to do right now?"

Zoe looked up at the high-ranking devil and turned her attention back to her body.

The chest was slightly raised, and although the amplitude was almost none, it was much more pleasing to the eye than the rough male body. The hands and feet are intact, the touch is clear, but the hair that has not been cut for a long time covers the forehead, just like in the dream world......

"Hah! They will surround you as if they were the enemy. The devil, who called himself Kabradabi, mocked, "By the time you figure things out, there's a 30 percent chance you'll be imprisoned, tied to an iron bed like a low-grade worm, and soaked in excrement all day long." Of course, there is a seventy percent chance of being put to death - after all, you used to do this four hundred years ago. ”

Zoe looked around and saw that it was pitch black everywhere and there was nothing. But it wasn't pure darkness—she wouldn't even be able to see herself if there wasn't light, but in her vision, both she and the devil, the details were clear.

"Hey, aren't you scared silly, do you think silence will get you away?" Cabradabi's voice became a little restless, "My patience is limited, you better understand your situation - we won't really die here, and if you use all your energy to please me, I may be able to make you suffer less!"

"I didn't think the devil would have said so much," Zoe tore a strip of cloth from her cuffs and tied her long hair up, "If it were me, I wouldn't be chattering in front of bugs all day, even if I learned the language of bugs." ”

"It's okay to be hard-mouthed, you'll just scream in no time anyway. The devil sneered, "I can feel the power in your soul, more vigorous than most bugs, and it would be a good choice to use you as my last opponent for Kabradabi." ”

"And then, how good can you be after I am put to death? Could it be that you are doing all this just to vent your anger at me?"

"What's wrong with this?Fight!kill!torture!promote!Worm, that's the attitude of a higher species!Is it possible that I still have to kneel on the ground and beg for your forgiveness?" Kabradabi let out a long roar, "What's so terrible about death? Our souls will be contained by the source of magical power, and when the day the race reaches the top, we will return to the world again!"

"Then you'd better hurry," Zoe said with a blank face, "maybe they'll be doing it soon." ”

"Don't worry," Cabradabi smirked, "you don't understand the mysteries of magic, and in the stream of consciousness, time can become slow and controllable. Even in the blink of an eye, it can be used for years - since it is the last killing, it naturally has to be satisfying. ”
