Bell can't see anything but Riley's eyes for some reason. No matter how much I scratched, Bell's body never moved.

Why can't I move my body freely if Arrosha didn't even wake me up? Bell was in a bad mood.

"You're an idiot. You can't possibly move, can you?

Riley fucking laughs when she sees Bell, who has stopped any movement. Bell can't even move his expression. Still, Riley was aware that he was desperately trying to move his body.

……………

Belle is desperately trying to scream, but she can't even speak. Exactly in good shape. Now Bell can't even resist if he can't activate Black Magic (Grimoire).

As it is, the purpose of revenge for Luna Guard will be achieved.

"I'll tell you. This is my black magic."

Riley's black magic (Grimoire) sealed the enemy's movement. Raleigh's black magic (Grimoire) was also quite troublesome, but Riley's black magic (Grimoire) was more troublesome than that.

………………

I had so much to say, Belle, but now I can't even utter a word. Bell was in a cold sweat in this desperate situation just waiting for his enemies to kill him.

"Heart-eye. That's my black magic (Grimoire). Unless I keep my eyes open, you will never regain your physical freedom. When there's only one enemy, it's the most powerful black magic."

Riley starts talking about his abilities in a way he's proud to win. The opponent cannot move unless the operator takes his eyes off him. The opponent, whose whole body cannot move, cannot escape surgery on his own because he cannot even move the eyeball. This black magic (Grimoire) cannot be solved without the surgeon's own distraction.

Moreover, the activation method is very simple. All you have to do is keep an eye on the opponent. If the operator and his opponent are in line of sight, then the conditions will be met. That way, they lose their physical freedom altogether. If you look closely at Riley's eyes activated by black magic (Grimoire), they look different than they were just now.

Its iris had a singular circle-like pattern floating, and its revenge-burning eyes also seemed to increase its red glow.

……………

Bell, unable to utter any voice, could only listen to Riley in silence.

On this occasion, there is not a single Bell ally - a three-on-one battle. Under such circumstances, the mind and eye are particularly effective.

All you have to do is launch an attack on the gap where Riley is sealing the enemy's movements. It is also possible for Riley himself to carry out the attack without even losing sight of it.

"Well done, Riley. Leave the rest to me."

Having confirmed that Riley had completely sealed Bell's movements, Benjamin finally moves with his sword.

It was just a desperate situation. If you are attacked in this state, you will surely die. It was a bell desperately trying to figure out a way out of this situation, but it didn't come up with any good ideas.

It is possible to open up this situation if even Riley's gaze can be diverted. However, there is nothing I can do in a situation where my body is not moving at all. If you have other people or even move your body a little, you have a chance.

Bell just didn't have either of those. Without company nearby, you can't move your body. Bell regretted not bringing Lili and Allen in.

When Benjamin sets up a great sword a short distance from the bell, he rushes all at once to pack the distance.

Bell didn't see much of the sight. Bell's eyes won't let go of Riley. I could only confirm Benjamin's coming this way by the corner of my sight.

A vengeful ghost is running this way. With a sword as huge as I've never seen it either.

“Am I going to die here..."

Bell seems to turn away by accident, but he can't do more than hang on to Riley's black magic (Grimoire). Surely Benjamin is approaching that point right away and will feed on that blade in a few moments. Bell swallowed his solids. Benjamin's sword is still trying to take Bell's life.

⁉ ︎

It is precisely at that moment when the cutting-edge of the Great Sword tries to touch Bell that suddenly Bell's physical freedom is restored. Bell's body, which had always focused on his whole body, suddenly moved out, avoiding Benjamin's attack on the brink. I had a really long hair.

"What?"

Benjamin stares at Riley's out-of-heart bell with a surprised face. For the first time, Benjamin has witnessed Riley's heart break, which is supposed to be absolutely binding.

……

Bell was immediately aware that something had popped into his sight. Something went between Riley and Bell's bumping gaze, and the effect of the mind and eye was lost.

Now both Bell's gaze and Riley's gaze are nailed to something of it.

"Reilly?"

"Belle............ sorry for everything"

What a Raleigh it was that suddenly appeared before Bell. Having already died, she appeared here as a ghost. Now she not only has hair and skin, but her whole body is glowing white. Still, those eyes were glowing red. Even if you look at it this way now, Raleigh and Riley look just like each other.

"Raleigh, will you stay out of my way?

Riley spoke for the first time in a long time of Raleigh's name, which he had not spoken for many years. No heart, she was trying to do something about it.

"I'm here to interrupt. Belle is my friend. I will never let you kill Bell."

Raleigh's eyes glowed red with a strong will. The tears she shed at death were not fake. She thought she was really friends with Belle.

"What can you do for the ghost? No use, you can't help him. Shut up and watch your friend die!

Riley turned into a maddening look again. She's right, the Ghost rarely comes in handy in the Battle of the Black Mage (Grigori).

"You were a dear family to me." That's when I finally got back together. I couldn't wait to be happy. Yet... "

Raleigh was in tears. Ghost tears. That was the first time Bell had ever seen it, too.

"You avoided me. I was at home, but I couldn't wait to be alone. Even if my parents stay home, they won't deal with me at all. I'm like a toy doll. When I stopped needing it, they dumped me."

⁉ ︎

Riley reacts unexpectedly to Raleigh's words. Raleigh was in the same pain as Riley. It's not Raleigh that's bad. Those words came to her head.

I just don't want to affirm that, Riley desperately shakes her head to the side and tries to erase that thought.

"It wasn't enough to take my place at home, and you tried to take it all the way to my place in the Moon Guard. He's not family or anything."

Riley desperately squeezed out words to blame Raleigh. Riley may have suffered a great deal, but it was Raleigh who bore the price of being too big.

"Nonsense. I didn't do that. That's what you've been avoiding me for? You look like an idiot. But it's too late to tell the truth. You are not my family anymore. You've been by my side the whole time, and you've been ignoring me for seven years. Knowing that I was cursed of blood didn't do anything to me.

When my parents died, I thought you were the only family I had... and you've been spending a lot of time, like you don't know me. I really didn't want to hate you, but I just had to hate you. "

Raleigh had no heart or a soft look. Was it a pleasure to know the true feelings of my sister, who had never been able to know in her lifetime?

But she was never going to forgive Riley. Raleigh couldn't forgive Riley for giving up being a sister.

"Think of what you're gonna say......... you're here to interrupt, aren't you? You can't stop me with that nonsense."

Riley said so to deny the thoughts that roll within herself. Though strong, Raleigh's words were definitely echoing Riley's chest.

"You said Faust was my friend, but maybe you're the only one who thinks so."

…………

Raleigh gets silent when she hears that. She herself thought of Belle as a friend, but it was unlikely that Belle thought of her as a friend.

He kept hiding his true self and deceiving me. I'm sure Belle doesn't think we're friends. That's what Raleigh thought.

"... a friend. A guy who misses you may not have any friends, but a guy who laughs heartily like Raleigh can have friends!

Bell blew up such Raleigh's anxiety. Since Raleigh's death, Bell has noticed her state of affairs and true feelings. If he hadn't listened to Emilia, he would still have thought of Raleigh as just an enemy.

Raleigh, hearing it, wept quietly. She was never alone. I wasn't lonely. All in all, man cannot know enough while he is alive.

"I'm not here just to help Bell. You know why I'm still in this world as a ghost?

"Become ⁉ *"

Shortly after, Riley is struck by a strange sensation she has never tasted.

"What do you think? How does it feel that your body can't move freely?

Raleigh's voice somehow came from Riley's mouth. Raleigh is using Riley's mouth to talk. Ghost can be possessed by humans just like the devil. And without a contract.

"Ku...... SO......"

Riley, like Bell earlier, desperately tries to move her body. But just like a man with a heart and eye, his body is not even picky.

"I haven't finished clearing the blood curse. That's why Astarot kept me in this world. I can't go to the afterlife until I finish my blood reckoning."

There was another reason why Raleigh appeared before Bell. Ghost can't bleed. How does the Ghost settle for the missing blood?

"Riley, what are you doing? If you don't kill him, I'll kill him."

By then, Benjamin had cut his paralysis. Unlike the Black Sorcerer (Grigori), Benjamin doesn't see Raleigh's ghost, and Riley only looks wolfy on his own.

Instead of Riley, who never attacks, Benjamin advances with a great sword. The black magic of the mind and eyes (Grimoire) seems to have been solved, but now the bell was filled with gaps.

A little later, Bell realizes it and runs out to escape Benjamin. Let us not forget that there is not one enemy on this occasion.

But Benjamin's leg strength was beyond Bell's imagination. Benjamin's blade, packing the distance as he looked at it, was approaching just that far.

"Shit!

"The Pope's Vengeance"

Stuffed with distance at once, Benjamin protruded the great sword he could carry without hesitation. Bell remained defenseless and allowed Benjamin to strike.

Gussa!!

The large blade pierced with momentum. The sword pierces his chest, and a large amount of blood is blown out of his wound, dripping. Underneath the body, there was already blood.

Is it just not helpful to say that Bell, who has come through so many predicaments so far, suffers wounds so far?

"Gu Ha………………"

It wasn't Belle who gave him a painful voice, it was Riley. Raleigh, who took Riley's physical freedom, jumped between Benjamin and Bell and took that blow.

"Hey, what are you doing, Riley?"

Benjamin realizes he has stabbed Riley and is stunned. Riley appeared in front of him before his eyes. Is it true that Ghost's black magic (Grimoire) will also be performed on the body he has taken over?

"I was going to ask you to pay for the blood that was left."

That's when Raleigh opened Riley's mouth again and spoke. This is how the Ghost does the blood reckoning. Raleigh jumped into Benjamin's blade herself. Benjamin's blade was piercing Riley's heart. If you pierce your heart, you can spend all of your blood on the liquidation of the curse.

……………

Riley, pierced through his heart, was almost instant. A glowing orb popped out of her body. That orb flies away somewhere without ghosting.

"Now the blood curse has been liquidated"

As Raleigh exited Riley's body, she appeared before Bell again.

"Have you finished paying for the blood?

Bell was wondering if the blood curse was really over. Now the blood curse is not what one Raleigh carries. Because Emilia and Bart also carry it.

"Yeah. Both Emilia and Bart should be free from suffering. Now I can't be a ghost anymore."

The blood curse was liquidated. In other words, vampires (vampires) born in Renato are no longer alone. Now Emilia and Bart will have a peaceful routine back again.

"Good...... thanks for your help"

Bell thanked Raleigh for saving this predicament. If she hadn't shown up, she would have been killed then by the Lunar Guard (Luna Guard) driven by revenge. Raleigh was a benefactor to Bell's life.

"It's obvious if you're friends................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thanks for saying we're friends too!

Raleigh gave an extraordinary bright smile. Until Belle saw it, she smiled naturally. Even though the time for parting was approaching, somehow all Bell had left was warmth in his heart.

The soul, knowing that it was not lonely, disappeared in fine particle form. No more there, Raleigh's soul. Raleigh's orb, which became a particle of innumerable light, went straight up in the air as he glowed.

That was the moment when the soul that Bell saw for the first time was purified.
