The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 705 - The Purified Spell

The island burning in flames, the dark sky is tainted with crimson and orange color the sight is terrifying but beautiful at the same time, meanwhile, the dark miasma has mixed with the gray smoke raised to the sky, Lory doesn't know what Lao Min Na has done to make the whole island overwhelmed with dark magic or perhaps it's not because Lao Min Na knows….perhaps is all Lazarus doing.

The small boat moves slowly against the current as the shadow guards rowed the boat against the water. Zhao Li Xin made her sit on his lap and embraces her from behind, Lory's eyes fixed on the island, if they can't see what she saw, they would see the dark smoke hover above the island.

Girsha emerged from her chest and floated to the air, he could feel the strong black magic on every tip of his feathers [We have to purify the island before it spread further] beyond people understanding, dark magic is highly contagious and it can spread quite far if not handled properly.

Lory knows the grave of the situation, as the only 'Gifted' people in this world, she have obligation to purged the dark magic [It's gonna used up all my mana…] Lory said with a thoughtful gaze, alas she has no other ways.

[It could be dangerous with your current condition...] He didn't forget to remind her even though he knows it was useless.

A mischievous smile bloom on her face "Did that ever stop me before?"

Girsha clicked his tongues in annoyance, unfortunately, a purified spell can only create by human and not only human able to cast that spell, for all he knows only a high priest and the Lucient heir who was able to purify black magic some people might able to contain it for a while but to completely dispersed the black magic they need people who are able to cast holy magic.

Lory wasn't sure if her body will be able to withstand the holy magic, still…what choice that she has, she suppressed a mirthless smile as look ahead of her. Lory's slight change expression didn't escape Zhao Li Xin's discerning eyes. He pinched her chin lightly and shited  it to his direction "Are you going to do something crazy?"

Lory's big eyes widen in surprise "How did you know?"

"You make that 'face' again…" he squinted his eyes.

"What face?" Lory chuckles.

"The same face whenever you want to do something 'bad'…" he poked the tip of her nose.

Lory pursed her lips, she didn't want to believe she was making a 'face', she wondered if that was the reason she never won a poker game against Fred and the others?

"Is not a bad thing though, it only make me exhausted…..I might fall asleep for a while" she muttered while leaned her head on his shoulder and let out a long exhales she already imagine the long sleep she needed to recover.

"Is it necessary?" He worriedly asked, he never like the idea of her being hurt.

Lory pointed at the island and say: "The island reek with black miasma, soon or later it will contagious other places if I don't stop it, a lot of people might get hurt because of this and I can't let this happen"

"So you will endanger yourself to safe other people who might never know or appreciated your sacrifices" Zhao Li Xin scoffed in anger, he knows more than anyone how selfish humans could be.

Lory knew he's not angry to her but for her instead, and he's not wrong even in her world some people didn't appreciate what their family had sacrificed for the world, many people have taken them for granted as if it was normal for her family sacrifices themselves for them. Lory once asked her father why they keep doing this when a lot of people didn't appreciate what they had done?

At that time Marcus patted her head and smile at her, and Lory never forgets what her father told her.

"Just because of few rotten fruits, will the tree stop bearing the fruits, I will not stop doing the right things just because few people didn't know how to be grateful, this is who I am…always was – always will be" she smiles solemnly.

When he looked into her eyes, there was no self-righteousness, contentment, or pride, what he saw was acceptance, sincerity, and faith to herself and the world, Zhao Li Xin never saw the strength and gentleness inside someone's eyes. He finally understands what make her special was not her power or lineage but it was her resilience.

Love….

A simple word was not enough to describe his feeling for her, he realized why he loved her so much. She made him believe that the world is still good, and worth fighting for despite the ugliness, heartache, betrayal, and the killing there still hope left as long she was here, there still hope for the light to shine even on the darkest day.

He planted his lips softly on her, he nibbled her sweet lips gently as if he afraid he would break her if he pushed her to hard, the sweetness from his lips make her heart beating like a drum she almost forgot to breathe until he stopped, his black onyx eyes stare at her deeply and she feel like her soul sucked into his gaze.

"How do I help you?" he said in low voice.

Lory struggles to calm her heart, it's not fair how she becomes weak with a single kiss even after the long years.

"tell them to retreated…" what Lory means is the Hei Shen people who still left on the island including Bei Li Yan and Mong Yi.

Zhao Li Xin raised his sign as a sign, the two shadow guards who pretended they weren't there since their Lord and madam flirting nodded their heads and let out a yellow flare to the sky.

There are two types of flare, the red one is a sign to attacked while the yellow one means to retreat, when the yellow light bright up the sky all Hei Shen people retreated consecutively after they speed up the clean up the whole pirates on the island. They jump to the boat and drive out to the sea.

They arrived at the black ship, Zhao Li Xin carries her and jumps inside the deck in one swift move as he helps her down Lory saw a few small boats drive towards them, Lory waits until they all arrived safely on the black ship.

After she make sure no one left on the island, she stands on the ship deck, she closes her eyes and begins to chant as she begins to chant her iris color change and gleamed with purple light at the same time the wind start to howl and the water beneath them suddenly ripple.

They know despite Lory lack of Qi and unable to cultivated she had mysterious power a very powerful one that no one can't explain, for Hei Shen members who didn't know about Lory origin accept her oddity easily because it finally make sense why their Lord adored the madam so much, turn out she is special.

They all run to the deck and look down below the ship, Bei Li Yan and Mong Yi look at each other with flickering eyes, they're tightening their grip on the railing feeling excited to see what Lory would do. Girsha glides in the sky and made a loud squawk and the sky begin to rumble.

Oh silent mother of sea hear my plead

From beneath the darkness, you should rise

Cleansed this world from evil and malice

The ripple turns to drops and sucked to the sky, drop by drop the water merged on the sky as it turns to the giant flat sphere above the island, it's like a transparent veil made by water. They hold their breath as they watch the indescribable scene, many times they pinch themselves to make sure they are not dreaming.

The moon from the highest heaven

Pour your gentle light

And all it rays shall gathers

From the darkness let it be light

All of a sudden the flat sphere shone into a bright purple light then break into a tiny light and pour down on the island like rain made of tiny purple light, is like massive fireworks only better.

The next unbelievable thing happened as the light touch the ground not only swallow the black miasma it also heals the scorched land and burned plant, it also healed the wounded animal on the island, instantly the whole island was rejuvenated.

As the light disappeared at the same time Lory lost her consciousness, Zhao Li Xin has expected this would happen he swiftly catches her before she touches the ground, she used up all her mana it can even maintain her shapeshifter spell, gradually her disguised disappeared and her origin appearance appear.
