Another trick!
Almost losing control of his entire body except his face, sweat immediately began to pour down Luo Wei's forehead.
Gritting his teeth, he struggled to move his eyeballs, trying to shift his gaze towards Tilis.
"You..."
"Are truly beyond reason..."
Tilis gently caressed Luo Wei's face.
"Don't worry, Luo Wei."
"I will definitely succeed. How could I bear to see you truly die?"
"Let's talk probabilities!" Luo Wei said coldly, "What if I really die?"
Tilis shook her head violently, "No! No! You won't die!"
"Heh." Luo Wei had grown used to her behavior, "Keep deluding yourself."
Sooner or later, I'll wake you up, and see how regretful you'll be then.
As anger filled his thoughts, Luo Wei continued to struggle.
His eyeballs moved painfully, shifting towards the ring on his finger.
The ring remained unresponsive.
"Are you wondering why Ophelia hasn't appeared yet?"
Luo Wei's heart jolted, and he immediately stared at her.
"Don't think about it~" Tilis giggled, "No matter how loudly you scream, she won't show up~"
Luo Wei's eyes filled with shock.
"Remember how I've been taking time to teach her teleportation magic these past few days?"
Immediately, Luo Wei frowned, "You've interfered? What have you done?"
Tilis's smile slowly faded, "You're so worried about her, huh?"
Seeing Luo Wei staring at her expressionlessly, determined to get an answer, Tilis let out a cold laugh.
"It seems I was right."
"Hehehe, someone who hasn't even passed the apprentice mage certification dares to learn the hidden society's profound and sophisticated teleportation magic?"
"No need for too much intervention!"
The massive energy explosion caused by magical loss of control will be enough to annihilate everyone in that tomb.
"Of course, she might get lucky, but it doesn't matter, even if she survives, she won't be able to help you..."
After hearing her out, Luo Wei's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Did you plan all this from the start?"
"Plan?" Tilis sneered, "What role did she have in the plan? I did this only because she angered me that day!"
"She dared to call me selfish?"
"Hehehe, how could I possibly be selfish!"
"I love you so much that I'm willing to give up my body, willing to endure the excruciating soul extraction under the most primitive conditions, until I lost my voice!"
"Ophelia should have died long ago! That haughty, hypocritical noblewoman deserved to perish along with her monstrous family and the Vigna Empire!"
Tilis's once beautiful face became horribly distorted.
Suddenly, she seemed to recall something.
"Wait... there's one more?"
Tilis glared at Luo Wei with a darkened expression, "The vampire, right?"
"Your vampire teacher, huh??"
"Why didn't I notice? She didn't come with you? Where is she?"
Luo Wei stared at her expressionlessly.
Tilis laughed maniacally.
"Tsk, what a pity..."
"I wanted to kill her too, but she managed to escape?"
Seeing Tilis’s horrifying expression, filled with undisguised murderous intent, Luo Wei remained expressionless.
But inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew Tilis had ulterior motives, that’s why he had his teacher leave early…
However, unexpectedly, Tilis suddenly burst into crazy laughter.
"Luo Wei!"
"You really do care about them!"
"But do you think she’s safe just because she’s gone?"
"Do you think there are only my people in this town?" She roared with laughter, "I'll tell you, every step of the way from here to the first city outside is under the surveillance of our mages, even a senior elder! That formidable warrior mage has lived for two hundred years! Killing a vampire is as easy as squashing an ant!"
After her excitement subsided, perhaps seeing Luo Wei’s increasingly terrible expression, Tilis finally revealed a satisfied smile.
She leaned close to Luo Wei’s dreadfully dark face, her laughter echoing like a devil.
"All I need is a single order."
"And your teacher, will die~"
Then.
Feeling that this wasn't enough to plunge Luo Wei into despair, Tilis even activated a magical communication.
A blue aura materialized in the air, through which Luo Wei saw a view of someone surveying Evelyn dashing through the forest, still unaware of the impending danger.
When the communication ended, Tilis leaned close to Luo Wei’s ear, delivering a threatening whisper.
"Luo Wei, I'm sure you don't want your vampire teacher to die, right?"
Luo Wei looked coldly at her, "I don't."
"Really don't?"
"Tilis." Luo Wei sighed, "There's no need to say more, I agree."
"Good, that's honest!" Tilis laughed.
With all obstacles now gone, Tilis seemed to relax, no longer so agitated.
She gazed tenderly at Luo Wei, "If you had agreed from the start, we wouldn’t have argued."
Luo Wei averted his gaze, "Tilis, I truly underestimated you."
He had thought of her madness before, but not her ruthlessness.
Time truly changes people. The Tilis in his heart now seemed to gradually align with the "Calamity Sorceress" on the church’s wanted list...
"The me now is no longer the same as before."
Tilis smiled faintly, "The frail me has already been killed by myself."
"Is it worth it?" Luo Wei asked.
"Without hesitation."
"Fine." Luo Wei nodded, "Let's do it."
Even with a 10% failure rate, what are the odds I’m that unlucky anyway?
Heh, I once won a scratch-off after all!
After Tilis finished setting up the relevant equipment, mysterious magical halos enveloped the two of them.
She slowly eased the motionless Luo Wei down, laying him flat. Tilis fastened a complex, metal-looking helmet onto his head, then inserted a thin needle into his vein.
Throughout the process, Tilis remained calm, as she had practiced countless times before.
This calmed Luo Wei’s tense nerves somewhat.
"This elixir is very potent, anyone who takes it will fall asleep peacefully, without feeling any discomfort~"
Tilis noticed Luo Wei’s tension and smiled to soothe him.
"Don’t worry~"
"The soul extraction has been tested countless times, 90% is just a theoretical probability. Under my personal supervision, success is the only possible outcome."
As the transparent liquid in the infusion tube was slowly injected into Luo Wei’s veins, his eyes gradually closed.
The world turned pitch black, his thoughts becoming blurred.
‘Only success is the outcome.’
That was the last thought lingering in his mind.
Then.
