The Resurrection Begins
The saint's robes, embroidered with special symbols of the Holy Church, appeared somewhat worn due to repeated washing.
But this dilapidated state did not affect Rosweisse's temperament; beneath her outward innocence lay a pride that ran deep in her bones and blood.
Only Rosweisse emerged; the puppet Aili did not appear.
Rosweisse was vigilant, carefully concealing Aili's presence... She didn't think her plan would fail; killing the two women wouldn't require much effort.
However, they still left an ambush, just in case.
Golden eyes swept over Ekaterina and Athena.
Athena was very weak. Seeing it with one's own eyes was more real than peering through Aili's eyes. There was almost no trace of Magic Power emanating from Athena.
For someone whose only means of combat is magic, without Magic Power, she is nothing but a useless person.
It seems this woman truly suffered severe harm while searching for Jello Geralt's last Soul Fragment.
Rather, Rosweisse was somewhat impressed by Athena's willpower.
Even with Ekaterina's help, having lost all his Magic Power, getting here might not be an easy task. The bumpy journey alone would be enough to kill an ordinary person.
Snort...
Rosweisse felt a surge of pride; she felt she had grasped Athena's true intentions... The more miserable and distressed she appeared, the more favor she would gain from Lord Jello.
That's definitely what that cunning woman planned.
Unfortunately, her plan was going to fall through.
The thought that crossed my mind was fleeting.
In less than a second, Rosweisse adjusted her expression, her face instantly spreading into a joyful smile. Like a little girl, she ran quickly to Athena and Ekaterina, grabbing their hands and gently shaking them. "Ekaterina, Sister Athena, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
"You two can at least keep each other company and rely on each other while staying in the Imperial City. But I'm in a terrible situation, wandering alone in the city. You have no idea how I've survived all this time, how scared I've been."
As she spoke, Rosweisse's eyes reddened.
It looks like tears could fall at any moment.
Ugh, disgusting.
Athena simply couldn't understand it; was Rosweisse addicted to pretending?
What's the point of putting on an act in front of someone who knows her true nature?
Of course, Athena wouldn't be foolish enough to completely sever ties. She reluctantly raised her hand and gently patted Rosweisse's shoulder. "Sister Rosweisse, you've suffered these past few days."
"But don't worry, all the suffering we've endured is worthwhile. As long as it brings Lord Jello back to life, it's all worth it."
"And now our suffering is about to end."
Rosweisse took a deep breath, seemingly calming herself down, and an excited expression bloomed on her little face. "By the way, Sister Athena, how are your injuries?"
As she spoke, Rosweisse released Athena's small hand.
Even with direct physical contact, no fluctuations of Magic Power can be felt.
At this point, Rosweisse was completely convinced that Athena was finished.
On the list of those who needed to be wary of and killed, Rosweisse had already crossed Athena's name off the list.
She was confident that with her current strength, if Athena was truly feigning this weakened state, she would definitely not escape her senses when she touched her.
On the contrary, it Ekaterina who deserves our attention.
Among the original ten members of the Hero's Party, Ekaterina was one of the strongest.
This encounter made Rosweisse realize that Ekaterina's strength had improved again, and she seemed to have broken through the shackles of level ninety.
What's going on with this woman? How did her strength increase so quickly?
Rosweisse was suspicious, but also somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, Athena was crippled; otherwise, with the combined strength of the Ekaterina and Athena, dealing with them would have been quite troublesome.
Athena seemed completely oblivious to Rosweisse's actions, and upon hearing this, simply smiled slightly, "It's alright."
"It's all my fault. If only we could have performed the Resurrection Spell right here in the Imperial City, Sister Athena, you wouldn't be so exhausted." Rosweisse expressed her apology. "It's all because of that bastard Qin Chu. If that scumbag hadn't interfered, I wouldn't be in this situation."
Qin Chu, that bastard? A piece of scum?
The title caused Ekaterina and Athena to narrow their eyes almost simultaneously, a cold glint seemingly flashing deep within them.
And Rosweisse clearly noticed this subtle change in expression.
But Rosweisse assumed it was simply a matter of resentment growing in Athena and Ekaterina's hearts from being violated by Qin Chu for so long, and didn't think much of it.
She simply let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he turned his gaze to Athena: "Sister Athena, where is Qin Chu's filthy blood, and the last Soul Fragment?"
Athena's lips curled into a smile, "Are you planning to perform Resurrection Spell here...? If not, I'll take it out when we get there."
Ha... a cunning woman.
Rosweisse thought to herself, but said nothing more.
She understood that Athena was not the kind of woman who would give in easily.
"Follow me."
She said it softly, then turned and walked away.
Athena and Ekaterina followed closely behind.
About an hour later, a cleared and clean area appeared in front of the three of them in the jungle.
Right in the middle of the field was a huge circular magic circle with a diameter of at least ten meters.
This... is the magic circle for Resurrection Spell!
Chapter 566 Resurrection Spell Begins
(Second update, 8,000 words)
The magic circle for Resurrection Spell.
This was the first time Ekaterina and Athena had seen it.
In the past, they would have been deeply shocked and excited upon seeing this enormous magic circle, but now only a slight mockery remained deep within their hearts.
Especially when she saw the smug look on Rosweisse's face next to her.
Of course, the mockery in their hearts wouldn't show on their faces; the two women even forced themselves to appear impatient.
This magic circle was clearly something that Rosweisse had meticulously prepared over a long period of time... To avoid any interference, Rosweisse even cleared away all the nearby trees, fallen leaves, and pebbles. She even specially cut out a huge, smooth stone slab, and all the lines of the magic circle were drawn on the stone slab, with not a single deviation in the lines.
After all, this is all for the sake of resurrecting Lord Jello; no matter what, Rosweisse will do her utmost to achieve the best possible result.
Who can guarantee that even the slightest deviation won't affect Jello's resurrection?
Judging from the intricate lines within the magic circle, drawing this magic circle must have taken Rosweisse a great deal of time.
As she looked at her masterpiece, Rosweisse's throat moved slightly, and her lips trembled from time to time.
"Phew... I've already finished drawing the magic circle..."
"I've already prepared the Soul-Returning Grass and the Mermaid Heart in advance."
"Now, all we need to do is fuse it with Qin Chu's blood, and then activate the magic circle with Magic Power, and we can revive Lord Jello."
"Sister Athena, this was something you should have done." Rosweisse turned to Athena and said apologetically, "After all, your skill in magic is greater than mine, and your control over Magic Power is also better."
Athena simply smiled wryly and said, "It's alright, you can do it."
"I no longer have the ability to activate this magic circle."
Rosweisse nodded vigorously, took a few more steps forward, and reached the edge of the magic circle, just one step away from stepping onto the stone slab.
Athena and Ekaterina followed closely behind.
Rosweisse sensed the movement behind her and glanced at the two figures out of the corner of her eye.
Where Athena and Ekaterina couldn't see, a smug, sinister smile crept across his face.
The trap was set up on the outer edge of the magic circle, but it was covered by a layer of dust.
As expected, Athena had now completely lost her Magic Power, did not sense the existence of the magical trap... As for Ekaterina, that rude woman who was as big as a gorilla, she was even less likely to notice it.
A layer of intense heat had even begun to burn within her chest cavity.
The moment these two women stepped into the trap, they were already half dead.
After adjusting her facial expression, Rosweisse turned around gracefully. "Sister Athena, can you now give me the Hero's Blood and the last Soul Fragment?"
Athena nodded, no longer hesitating, and took out a Soul Fragment from her bosom, handing it to Rosweisse.
Looking at the small crystal in her hand, Rosweisse carefully took it. Overwhelmed with excitement, a blush even appeared on her face.
Ekaterina also took a bottle out of her pocket and handed it to Rosweisse.
It contained a scarlet liquid.
It is truly the Hero's Blood.
Qin Chu specifically extracted it from his own body... because Qin Chu was also very curious about what kind of monster Rosweisse's Resurrection Spell would revive while the First-Generation Hero was still alive.
What kind of impact will this have on Jello, who has already merged with the Demon King?
For these precious experimental results, Qin Chu felt that sacrificing a little blood was entirely worthwhile.
After taking the item from her hands, a flash of murderous intent instantly appeared deep in Rosweisse's eyes.
These two women have now fallen into a trap... If we act now, we'll most likely be able to kill Ekaterina and Athena.
The murderous intent in his heart also became stronger than ever before.
However, Rosweisse quickly controlled her emotions... Now was not the best time to kill these two women.
Based on her understanding of Resurrection Spell, the entire magic circle should take about a few minutes to activate... Ekaterina clearly still somewhat wary of her.
Although Rosweisse didn't think Ekaterina could be so shrewd, Athena was right beside her.
If we act now, the moment the magic trap is activated, Ekaterina might notice and escape from it.
However, once the Resurrection Spell's magic circle is fully activated, Athena and Ekaterina's attention will be completely drawn to the Resurrection Spell.
By then, the two women will be completely unaware that I've activated the magical trap, making my attack much more secure.
She wouldn't let either of those women live, not one of them. Rosweisse wouldn't allow any stain on her reputation; in Jello Geralt's eyes, she had to maintain the most perfect and beautiful image.
With this in mind, Rosweisse temporarily suppressed the urge to take action, took a deep breath, and calmed her mind.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Ekaterina and Athena, he fused Qin Chu's blood with the potion he had previously concocted, which contained the Mermaid Heart and the Soul-Returning Grass.
The originally dark green potion had turned a dark red, faintly revealing an ominous hue.
A strong, fishy smell wafted from the mouth of the glass bottle.
The smell was nauseating.
The sight of the corpse, which seemed to have been rotting for an unknown amount of time, made both Ekaterina and Athena feel nauseous. Even though there was some distance between them, the stench wafting over made them want to vomit.
But to Rosweisse, the scent seemed exceptionally fragrant.
Rosweisse was completely unaffected by the nauseating odor emanating from the bottle; in fact, her face showed pure ecstasy as she breathed heavily through her nostrils.
This is the liquid that can save Jello.
Whatever the smell, it was all wonderful to Rosweisse.
Rosweisse seemed completely absorbed in the moment; her body was even trembling with excitement.
His beautiful eyes were wide open in an almost exaggerated way, a sight that could even send chills down one's spine.
Its long neck creaked and groaned with subtle movements.
Seeing that, Ekaterina and Athena exchanged a glance, both feeling a chilling fear... Rosweisse seemed... to have gone mad.
This state is not much better than when Wadsworth was corrupted by the aura of the Evil God.
"Rosweisse, can we begin?" Athena took a deep breath and urged from behind.
Rosweisse was jolted awake from her reverie, for now that all of Jello's Soul Fragment and the Hero's blood had been retrieved, Athena and Ekaterina had no way to control themselves, and the two were now trapped.
Rosweisse's attitude towards the two also changed accordingly. She was no longer as intimate as before, and even felt resentful that Athena had interrupted her reverie. However, Athena was right; it was time to begin.
