Chapter 159 - A Vicious Spell
Seeing the anxious look on Irene's face, Master Maverick and Pauline knew that something serious had happened.
However, this kind of ritual could not be stopped midway. Otherwise, the spell would backfire. Of course, Master Maverick did not want such a thing to happen, so he pulled Lauren along and insisted that they had to complete this ritual.
Although Irene had an anxious look on her face, she also knew how serious this matter was. Therefore, she stood aside for the time being and did not speak.
Master Maverick sped up the progress of the ritual. He pulled Lauren's hand and took out a knife. He was about to cut Lauren's wrist.
Lauren would not submit obediently! Her blood was precious!
She grabbed Master Maverick's hand.
Lauren was very strong forcing Master Maverick to fall to his knees. The knife in his hand also fell to the ground.
Pauline and Irene were stunned, having no idea what had happened.
Master Maverick was shocked. He removed Lauren's mask with his free hand.
When he saw Lauren's face, he widened his eyes and asked, "Why is it you?"
"Of course it's me. Who else could it be?"
Irene and Pauline saw that Lauren could actually talk and that Master Maverick was subdued on the ground. They realized that something was wrong and immediately wanted to run away.
Lauren quickly shouted, "Quinn! Quickly stick the immobilizing talisman on their bodies!"
Lauren was busy dealing with Master Maverick, she had no time for the two women.
Fortunately, Quinn reacted quickly and caught up with Pauline and Irene in just two or three steps.
The moment Lauren made her move, Quinn had already taken out the talismans that Lauren had given him and held them tightly in his hands. He was waiting for the right time to make use of them.
These talismans had been with Quinn for so long, and finally, it was time to use them. He felt more than a little excited.
After hearing what Lauren said, Quinn immediately pasted two pieces of immobilizing talisman on the bodies of Irene and Pauline.
Master Maverick was also a person who knew spells, but now that Lauren's pocket dimension was not with her, she could only use brute force to twist Master Maverick's hands to the back and temporarily control him.
"Quinn, quickly go and bring me my clothes."
Quinn was holding a stack of talismans in his hand. Beside him stood Irene and Pauline, who were still motionless. They were still maintaining their escape posture and it was a little comical.
When he heard Lauren's instructions, Quinn was a little hesitant. "But this immobilizing talisman can only be used for one minute."
What if Irene and Pauline ran away?
Master Maverick was struggling non-stop. No matter how strong Lauren was, she had not eaten for the past two days and her body was already quite weak. Moreover, Master Maverick was a 1.8-meter-tall man. Lauren was worried that she would not be able to hold on any longer.
"If you put a few more immobilizing talismans on their bodies, the time can be increased."
This type of immobilizing talisman was modified by Lauren.
The effective immobilizing time of an ordinary immobilizing talisman could not be stacked. No matter how many talismans were put on them at the same time, the effect would only last for one minute.
However, the type of immobilizing talisman that Lauren had modified could stack their duration.
Back then, there were even quite a number of people in the church who wanted to buy Lauren's immobilizing talisman.
Upon hearing Lauren's words, Quinn nodded his head and quickly added a few more immobilizing talismans to the two of them.
However, Master Maverick could already feel Lauren's weakness. He could feel that Lauren's control over him was gradually weakening.
At this moment, Quinn had already gone to the corner to pick up Lauren's clothes, but it was still too late.
Master Maverick had already used brute force to break free from Lauren.
Lauren did not have anything on her body at the moment. It was precisely because of this that Master Maverick brandished his mahogany sword, intending to use some unorthodox methods to control Lauren.
Previously in the Torres family, he had already discovered that Lauren's energy was very pure. People like her were most afraid of losing her energy.
Master Maverick quickly took out a piece of paper from his clothes. He bit his finger and quickly wrote a talisman on it.
Lauren recognized the talisman.
This kind of talisman was extremely vicious. Once this kind of talisman was awakened by blood, it would quickly suck out a person's vital essence. The person whose vital essence was sucked out would quickly turn into a withered corpse, while the vital essence that was sucked out would be absorbed and used by the caster.
This type of charm that could harm lives was extremely evil and dark, so it had been banned for many years.
Lauren had only seen it in ancient books, but she had never seen anyone actually use such a spell.
