“What?” Everybody gasped in horror and simultaneously looked at Zooey. What Kabradhabi said did not sound like boasting. Since the God’s Punishment Witch was connected to the demon by Camilla, the demon’s soul that had disappeared must have sneaked into Zooey’s body.
Alethea was the first one to take action. Whilst Camilla was crying out in alarm, she swung her main tentacle, which was strong enough to crush a Devilbeast, at Zooey. She spared no effort to press Zooey down to the ground and even the slate floor where the God’s Punishment Witch landed got cracked.
Zooey spewed out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
The hall fell into silence.
Everyone in the hall understood that Alethea launched a sudden attack to prevent the God’s Punishment Witch from causing damage; since the demon might be able to control Zooey through the mind connection. Once it managed to make the God’s Punishment Witch spread an anti-magic area, no matter how small it was, it would cause significant harm.
This was particularly true for most of the witches, who were not prepared to treat Zooey as an enemy.
In comparison to those witches, Alethea, a former commander of the Blessed Army, was much more experienced in fighting.
She acted right after the demon blustered out its threat and did not give it any chance to react. Zooey was knocked down by Alethea’s main tentacle and appeared like a dummy during the whole process. She did not fight back or struggle as the other witches had expected. It seemed that the demon failed to control the God’s Punishment Witch successfully.
“Did the demon’s soul really sneak into Zooey’s body?” After a while, Roland broke the silence.
“I’ve never encountered such a situation…” Camilla still looked frightened. “Mind Resonance is just a communication method. How come Kabradhabi could get out of its own body and enter into Zooey’s body through the mind connection?”
“Are you sure?” Tilly frowned and asked.
“We can’t be sure until Zooey takes the initiative to speak to us.” Alethea loosened her grip on the God’s Punishment Witch but still pinned her to the ground. “Souls can’t survive without carriers, otherwise, we wouldn’t have had to rely on these things left by the underground civilization. Although wiping out its soul in the process is a possibility; it’s also possible that it was able to successfully transfer its soul into Zooey’s body. We have to prepare for the worst.”
“I think I’ve a way to figure it out.” Roland thought for a moment. “If I bring Zooey’s light beam into my Dream World…”
“I can’t agree to that!” Wendy immediately interrupted. “Your Majesty, you should avoid taking risks as much as possible. Your Majesty’s safety is of utmost importance!”
“Yes, I agree with Wendy. What if the demon manages to occupy your body?” Nightingale added. “It’s a real Senior Demon, not some loser on the Soul Battlefield!”
“I can control the risk.” Roland slowed down to consider his countermeasures. “If the demon goes into the Dreamland with Zooey, it’ll appear at a certain place. As long as we send a group of God’s Punishment Witches into the Dream World to help me, we’ll be able to kill it before it adapts to the new world. More importantly, the Dream World is different from the Mind Resonance. No matter what takes place in that world, it’ll never affect the real world. Once I wake up, the time in the Dream World will stop and all visitors will be forced out. Given that, even if Zooey’s soul is replaced by the demon’s, I’ll be able to get a clear idea of the current situation and come back safely.”
“But…” Nightingale bit her lips and turned to look at Anna. “Come on, say something to persuade him.”
“I agree with him,” Anna said, which was totally beyond the other witches’ expectations.
