Safina and Ursula have indeed not traveled too far, they are near Weymouth. But now, they are in trouble.

This may be the first time Safina has encountered an opponent since she gained her current power - and it is still a very difficult one to deal with.

At this moment, in Preston, northeast of Weymouth, a bizarre battle is going on. And...in fact, it has been going on for several days and nights.

This battle originally originated from an "old man" that Safina discovered while patrolling around Weymouth.

"Ursula, are you okay? Can you still hold on?"

In an alley on the streets of Preston, Safina, half dragging and half supporting her sister Ursula, was walking step by step to the other end of the alley. She obviously didn't forget that she could still fly, but because she

Don't dare fly into the air easily now.

To be honest, Safina actually regretted it at the moment - she shouldn't have kept Ursula by her side just because she was worried. Facts have proved that when she was patrolling outside, her side was actually...

Far more dangerous than Weymouth's hideout!

If Safina was alone, she could have chosen to leave, but now that there was Ursula, the situation was completely different.

"It's okay," Ursula shook her head weakly, "It's just... Safina, I'm sorry, I think I shouldn't have stayed in the UK in the first place."

"Stop talking about this now."

As Safina said this, her attention was still shifting around every corner, always paying attention to the movements and changes everywhere.

The magic power in the entire area seemed to have become stagnant, which made her feel very uncomfortable. However, Ursula was definitely the one who felt the most uncomfortable at the moment.

In fact, even Safina could clearly feel at this time that there was an invisible force permeating the neighborhood. It was like a tide, involving every soul in the area.

Due to the power of soul rules obtained from the Bewitched Monument, even if it is only one branch, Safina can resist this kind of shock to the soul. But for Ursula, this is very scary.

As a person who has had her body replaced, Ursula's soul is not as stable as a normal person's at present, and coupled with this inexplicable force now, her soul seems to be "swung" out of the body at any time.

It seems to be drifting away with the tidal force.

For this reason, Safina, who can sense this situation, is not only unable to move her quickly, but also has to allocate her energy to help Ursula stabilize her soul at all times. In this situation, she even has to pay attention at all times.

Follow the enemy's elusiveness.

Yes, that "old man" is a very difficult enemy, there is no doubt about it. Even until now, Safina has not actually fought against him directly... No, maybe it is just like this that makes it even more difficult.

Safina felt deeply threatened.

Because from the seemingly ubiquitous fluctuations of magic power, we can know that the opponent's strength is quite strong - but for such a strong opponent, he only lingers around and does not take the initiative to attack for several days. This is the most terrible thing.

of.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Safina, who was supporting Ursula as she walked past a window, felt a chill in her heart. Because out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to have accidentally caught a glimpse of something in the windowpane.

Pass away.

"boom!"

"Wow--"

At that moment, Safina suddenly raised her hand, and black flames suddenly rolled past the window. The glass was directly shaken by the energy shock and exploded, shattering all over the floor, revealing the dark figure behind the glass.

indoor.

However, it was quiet inside. At first glance, it was just an ordinary Muggle living room.

Now that the fog has dissipated, the vision has become much clearer. However... this may not necessarily be a good thing. Sometimes, your eyes can be deceiving.

"Safina, behind."

Just when Safina was looking inside the window, Ursula suddenly reminded her, causing her to quickly turn around.

At that moment, she saw a large, oval-shaped dark hole in the brick wall on the other side of the alley. A thin black hand suddenly poked out of the hole, and was about to reach out to Ursula.

That fair and tender neck.

When Safina saw this, she subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and then her arm was caught.

"ah!"

The next moment, an indescribable suction force suddenly came from that hand, tugging at Safina's soul and will like a whale sucking a cow's drink.

This feeling is difficult to describe in words. What Safina can feel is that her consciousness is moving away from her, as if she will fall asleep at any time and become completely unconscious.

Almost subconsciously, a black flame suddenly swept up from beneath her body, wrapping her and that hand together. The black flame that also aimed at the soul kept churning, biting the skinny black arm, and even

Instead, he followed its hand and rushed towards the black hole in the wall.

"Roar--"

A low, hoarse roar came faintly from the dark hole, and the paw that was tightly clasping Safina's arm finally loosened and retracted like lightning.

The next second, spiral ripples appeared in the large oval hole, and suddenly shrunk and disappeared, returning to the original appearance of the brick wall. Even the dark green moss on the brick joints was still the same, making people feel like it was just now.

It was all a hallucination, as if nothing had happened.

"Safina, are you... okay?"

Safina had asked her this just now, but now, she was the one asking her instead.

"It's nothing, don't worry."

Safina shook her head and gently shook her arm that had just been grabbed. She felt a little weak. She casually picked up her sleeve and glanced at it. On her originally smooth forearm, there was a black handprint.

Somewhat shocking.

It seems that the opponent's catch just now was not only an attack on the soul, but also seemed to have caused considerable damage to the body. You must be more careful.

"this--"

When Ursula saw it, she couldn't help feeling distressed, but Safina just put down her sleeves indifferently, waved her hands casually and said:

"It's okay, it's just... you may have to keep the flame alive from now on."

Before she finished speaking, the black flames completely engulfed both of their bodies again, leaving no trace of them exposed. Although Safina could have maintained the soul flame for a long time, this was undoubtedly a waste. According to the enemy's

With that level of patience, it would be really troublesome if he continued to linger near the two of them for several days.

"We have to find a way to stay away from it first...even if it's just for a moment!"

Bathed in black flames, Safina said this.
