The Reincarnation Room
Wounded

Laminamors was a little surprised to see Ryan grasping the tip of the Greatsword sword piercing through his shoulder. This caused blood to flow out of Ryan's palm.

Under such circumstances, the Laminamors who were holding his sword tightly became too late to retreat.

This delay instantly led to the defeat of the Laminamors.

"Flashing Sheath: Swift Wind (Males: Kyu Kaze)!"

A flash of cold blade light suddenly appeared beside the Laminamors, like a beautiful scythe.

Croots

The sound of blood spurting sounded very satisfying. 

Laminamors' wrists were cut very neatly, making a large amount of blood gush and litter the floor of the corridor.

Laminamors also have no power to withstand the pain they experience. "Ughhh!"

The severed palm of the hand seemed to still hold tightly to the handle of Lux Greatsword.

Ryan then forcefully pulled out Lux who stabbed her shoulder and immediately threw her aside. The Lux eventually shuts down on its own due to the loss of its Prana source.

Shortly after, Ryan lost his powers and fell to his knees on one leg. 

"Uhuk uhuk .." Ryan coughed with sputum full of blood.

"Ryan-san!" Sylvia quickly walked up to Ryan and immediately grabbed onto his body.

At the same time, Valda-Vaoth also approached Laminamors and held her shoulder. As soon as he saw the lost palm of Laminamors' right hand, Valda-Vaoth's heart was shivering.

"I didn't expect the result to be like this." murmured Valda-Vaoth.

Due to Ryan's mysteriousness, Laminamors and Valda-Vaoth are unwilling to take the plunge and choose to meet Ryan when his Prana is running out. 

They do all this to ascertain what information Ryan knows, and also the suspicion that Sylvia is an acquaintance of Valda-Vaoth's body.

And as a result, their guess is correct. Sylvia really knew the body that Valda-Vaoth used, even she was Master Sylvia.

In addition to successfully ensuring Sylvia's relationship with Valda-Vaoth's body, they also managed to injure Ryan. Although to do so, Laminamors have to pay a fairly expensive fee.

"This guy is very dangerous." Laminamors hugged her severed hand and grinned with a wry smile, "I didn't expect any disciple in this city to be able to treat me to this extent.'

"So how?" Valda-Vaoth calmly said, "Should we kill him now?"

"If we can kill him now, that's the best thing. But as you can see, he's like a beast. The more cornered he is, the more dangerous he is."

"To kill him, we'll definitely sacrifice a lot of things, and it's not worth it." Laminamors said without hesitation, “By the way, our goal has been fulfilled. The world-famous diva is indeed a relationship with your body." 

"Even though the boy knows too much, but he doesn't seem to know what our plan is like. For a while, he won't be a threat to us. So, let's back off first."

Valda-Vaoth was silent for a while, and finally agreed. "Okay, I get it."

Laminamors raised her head and stared deeply at the kneeling Ryan with one foot on the ground, as if she wanted to carve Ryan's face into her deepest memories.

Back then, if Laminamors was late one step back, then not only was Laminamors hand cut off, but also his head.

Of course that's not the point. At the heart of the problem is that Laminamors quickly turn Prana into a defensive force, but the hands of the Laminanors can still be cut off.

"It's very strange. It was clearly just an ordinary dagger. With my defensive power, it should be that ordinary daggers would not be able to break through it. But, he was able to pierce through it easily and managed to cut off my hand." murmured Laminanors.

Laminanors then followed Valda-Vaoth to retreat. However, just as he was walking a few steps, Laminanors turned to Ryan and said, "I hope you don't get in the way of our plan and are forced to consider you an enemy."

After saying so, Laminanors returned to walking while holding her severed hand. He has also taken back his Lux which Ryan had thrown away before.

"Wait!" Sylvia shouted, "Who are you?!"

This time it wasn't Laminamors who answered Sylvia, it was Valda-Vaoth. "You don't need to know that, little girl. So forget about us soon."

Leaving behind these words, Laminamors and Valda-Vaoth suddenly disappeared without leaving a trace.

It was not teleportation like Fan Xinglou had, but rather Valda-Vaoth's mind-manipulating ability, where he made Ryan and Sylvia think that they had disappeared.

In the end, there was only Ryan and Sylvia left, and traces of blood still dripping from Ryan's wounds.

"Wait, wait! Ursula!" shout Sylvia. He wanted to pursue his teacher immediately.

Suddenly, Ryan coughed up blood. "Uhuk uhuk …"

“Ryan-san!” Sylvia finally abandoned her intention to pursue Valda-Vaoth and instead helped Ryan.

"Calm down, I'm fine.” Ryan gritted his teeth and threw blood from his throat.

The Laminamors weapon was a kind of Greatsword with an extremely wide sword blade. Although the puncture is in the shoulder, but the puncture area is quite close to the heart, right to the left of Ryan's chest.

This kind of injury is certainly not mild. So, in order to cure him, Ryan immediately took out the Healing Crystal and immediately grasped it tightly.

Shiii

A dazzling warm light suddenly bloomed from his hands, illuminating Ryan's body.

Under such light, Ryan's bodily injury gradually healed quickly. This surprised Sylvia.

Although Ryan is physically fine, but the amount of Prana in Ryan's body is very small. Ryan's breathing became stingy, even his face began to pale.

"Ryan-san, are you really okay?" sylvia asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just tired." Ryan replied in a weak voice. He then tried to ask Sylvia for help. "Can I trouble you?  I want to ask you to find me a place to rest."

"okay." Sylvia agreed and immediately carried Ryan's body.

To be honest, Sylvia did not really understand the current situation. Even so, he still had many questions. Acquired.

Finally, with Sylvia's help, Ryan is taken to the VIP lounge of Queenvail Girls' Academy in Sirius Dome. He then laid Ryan's body on the sofa.

"How's it?" Sylvia asked gently, "Now better?"

"If what you mean is my wound, then you don't have to worry about it." Ryan smiled and said, "The injuries I've been through have healed. Now I just have to recover Prana in my body." 

Even so, if the Prana in Ryan's body is completely depleted, the problem can be quite big. There are some cases of Strega or Dante who fell into a coma for up to 20 days due to excessive Prana consumption.

"Sorry ..." Sylvia said in a somewhat regretful tone, "If I could use the power of healing, I would definitely help you."

Sylvia's ability in theory is indeed all-round. He could control Mana into any power except the healing power. Whether energy recovery, or wound healing, Sylvia could not do so.

Therefore, Sylvia could not help Ryan's recovery at all. He then said to Ryan, "I'd better get you to the hospital."

The so-called hospital here is not a public hospital, but a Genestella-specific healing place and is equipped with many recovery facilities.

The hospital is also dedicated to treating Genestella who are following the Festa this season. Because Ryan is a Festa participant, so Ryan will definitely get the best treatment for free.

Ryan refused it.

"I'm just out of Prana. My body is fine." Ryan shook his head and said, "Let me rest for a while. Once I am able to move again, I will return to Jie Long and rest there."

"really?" Sylvia was relieved.

After Sylvia that Ryan's condition was not severe, the question that had been suppressed in the heart since then began to reappear.

"Ryan-san." Sylvia looked directly at Ryan and said with a more serious expression than before. "I don't know what's going on, but the thing I want to know the most is just one …"

"Is all this related to the Necklace that Ursula was wearing?" Sylvia asked with a hint of uneasiness as well as hope, "My intuition is saying that that person is Ursula, but it seems like something is different."

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Sylvia did not find an anomaly on Ursula's body.

"Please tell me." Sylvia even wore a voice with a vibrato tone when saying it.

Hearing Sylvia's request, Ryan became a little hesitant. Ryan was confused as to whether he should honestly tell Sylvia everything or not.

Looking at Ryan like that, Sylvia sighed and said with a smile, "It's okay, Ryan-san, just say it honestly. Even now, even though it's bad news, I'm able to handle it."

"So, I want to confirm this first, is Ursula still alive?"

Getting a question like this, Ryan looked towards Sylvia and clearly saw her facial expression 

It was a sincere, honest face, and also full of determination.

"All right." Ryan could only nod.

"Even though this doesn't go according to my plan, but I'll tell you everything I know. So, listen, Sylvia."

~***~

Ten minutes later, Sylvia who had known everything from Ryan's mouth, just sat in silence. Some complicated emotions appeared on his charming face.

"I don't know if Ursula did this voluntarily or not, but surely her body has been taken over by Valda-Vaoth. I suspect, losing control of the body is the cost to be paid to use the Orga Lux Valda-Vaoth" Ryan said.

Using Orga Lux Ability always comes with a fee to be paid by its users. The cost is different for each Orga Lux.

For example, Ryan's Seraph, the cost to use its power is Prana in large quantities. This also causes Ryan's condition to become weak and become an easy target for Laminamors.

Of course, that cost is already very cheap.

Like Pan-Dora, the fees to be paid make its users experience their own death in their dreams every day. That's really cruel.

But, the cost to be paid Valda-Vaoth users is the most extraordinary, which is to seize the body of its users. Even others would not be suspicious of it, except those closest to her, such as Sylvia who was aware that her Master was no longer herself.

“At first, I had made a plan to reclaim your Master's body from Valda-Vaoth after my first encounter with him." Ryan somewhat helplessly said, "But I didn't expect it, it turns out that they came to me first before my plan went ahead."

"Repossessing my Master's body?" Sylvia's eyes immediately turned bright. "Do you have any way to restore Master's consciousness and make him seize control over his body?"

"I actually have two plans. One of them is to fight Valda-Vaoth head-on and force her to return Ursula's body. But, that means I have to face the Organization behind Valda-Vaoth. It's getting pretty tough." Ryan explained.

Difficult is a natural thing. If it was too easy, then Sylvia would not need to spend years to find Ursula.

Facing this difficulty, Sylvia simply smiled and said, "Compared to the absence of previous information, this is already very good."

At the very least, Sylvia finally knew what to do to get her Master back.

"Thank you for helping me find Master, Ryan-san."

Sylvia expressed her sincere thanks to Ryan. After that, he said, "Furthermore, let me handle it myself. You just rest enough."
