The Sealed Demon God
Trelawney stared at the Death Ta Lo in front of her, a silver light seemingly swirling in her eyes.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, she cried out in pain and covered her eyes with her hands.
"What's wrong?" Xiwen was startled by Trelawney's sudden cry and quickly stood up to check on her.
Trelawney covered her eyes, shook her head gently, and said to Xiwen, "It's nothing. I think I saw something that's not easy to see."
"This Death card doesn't represent the end of the original event or a new beginning; rather, it should signify its literal meaning—death and destruction," she explained weakly.
"I just saw an evil creature lurking in a space, surrounded by a membrane. But this membrane doesn't seem very strong; some black mist keeps seeping through the gaps and being absorbed by the black creature, which then grows stronger."
"I was trying to get a closer look and figure out what kind of creature it was when I saw the black creature turn around and suddenly look at me with a pair of eerie scarlet eyes. Then my vision went completely blank."
Xiwen listened to Trelawney's account, he grew increasingly alarmed.
"Was what you just saw a Prophecy?" he asked solemnly.
"This isn't exactly Prophecy. I simply used the Death Ta Lo Divination for you as a link to see real-time images connected to that link," Trelawney said. "This should be considered my innate ability of the Third Eye."
Xiwen, Strange had brought about regarding the Demon God of this world.
'So, the creature Trelawney saw was the Strange that Strange mentioned, a Demon God no weaker than the Eye Demon?' He pondered this information, looking up at Trelawney.
However, Xiwen suddenly noticed a drop of blood flowing from between her fingers, which were covering her eyes, and dripping onto the table in front of her.
"Trelawney, your eyes are bleeding!" Xiwen warned.
Trelawney moved her hand away in bewilderment, only to find her vision blocked by the blood-red color, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
In Xiwen's eyes, he saw blood constantly flowing from her eyes. The flowing blood was like two lines of red tears, running down her cheeks and dripping from her chin onto the table, making a dripping sound.
A shallow puddle quickly formed on the table.
With a grim expression, Xiwen drew his wand, pointed it at Trelawney's eyes, and uttered a spell:
"Episkey (Episkey)."
The healing spell slowed the bleeding from her eyes slightly, but it still continued to flow out.
"This won't do; we must find a deeper healing spell." Seeing the blood still flowing without any sign of stopping, Xiwen said anxiously.
Because of his many experiences over the past two years, he had actually taught himself some commonly used healing magic and always carried healing Potions and herbs with him, such as Dittany Essence.
However, it was clear that simple healing magic wouldn't be very effective for Trelawney's injured eyes, and Potions were inconvenient to apply directly to her eyes.
So, Xiwen took out the second edition of the Book of Spells written by Miranda and began searching for more healing spells using the search spell on the title page.
"You don't need to be in such a hurry," Trelawney said calmly, seemingly unconcerned, maintaining her aloof demeanor. "I can see that my eyes will be healed in a few minutes, and I won't see who will treat me."
"The only person I can't see clearly in this world is you, so the person who can heal my eyes must be you. You don't need to be in such a hurry."
As Xiwen flipped through the Book of Spells, he looked at Trelawney with amusement and asked, "Are you so sure I'm the one who healed you? What if I stop caring about you after hearing that? Will your eyes still be healed as you see them?"
Trelawney paused for a moment, then said, "You can try."
"What?" Xiwen looked up at her in astonishment and asked.
"You can try ignoring me," Trelawney said casually, as if experimenting with her own life were a trivial matter. "I also want to know if I can change my premonition."
"Forget it, I have no interest in experimenting with my life," Xiwen said, shaking his head.
"So the Prophecy also encompassed your character, knowing that you wouldn't stand idly by," Trelawney said.
"Alright, you can shut up now..." Xiwen immediately interrupted the girl, who was too deeply affected by the Prophecy, and said.
He finally found a high-level healing spell that could heal deep wounds, and somewhat reluctantly interrupted her, beginning the next treatment according to the Book of Spells.
"Vulnera Sanentur... Vulnera Sanentur (Vulnera Sanentur... Vulnera Sanentur)..."
Xiwen waved his wand gently, chanting the spell repeatedly as if to himself, sounding almost like a low song.
As Xiwen recited, the shallow pool of blood that Trelawney had dripped onto the table miraculously floated upwards and flowed back into her eyes. The blood on her face also flowed back into her eyes, leaving no trace of crimson outside.
Trelawney's complexion returned to its previous pale and aloof state.
"How are you feeling?" Xiwen slowly stopped reciting and looked up to ask.
Trelawney slowly opened her strange silver eyes, looked at Xiwen and nodded gently.
"Thanks."
Her tone remained indifferent, but it carried a hint of warmth compared to her previous coldness.
On the other side, beside the Space-Time Rift in the clouds, Xiwen looked at Strange, whose expression was solemn.
"I think I know what the Demon God here looks like." He had already sensed the message from the Young Wizard Xiwen and said in a deep voice, "A pitch-black creature sealed in a black space, with a pair of scarlet eyes, right?"
"I don't actually know what that Demon God looks like," Strange said, glancing at Xiwen with surprise. "But I can sense that his power is indeed sealed in another dimension."
"Because of this loosening of the cosmic constraints, he could break free of the seal at any time and cause enormous damage to your world."
"So, get ready this morning, Xiwen!" he said sternly.
Xiwen was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly remembered something, and a malicious smile appeared on his face.
"Wait a minute, I remember you're the Sorcerer Supreme." Xiwen crossed his arms and chuckled. "Isn't protecting Earth and resolving the threat of the Dimensional Demon God your responsibility?"
"This is Earth, Strange!"
