Should I raise you too?

Lucius, carrying the old king's head, drew a magic circle beside her with his blood and chanted a dark and sinister incantation.

The six "finger bones" began to shake, and from the white joints, tiny black shadows wriggled and emerged—they were pitch-black soul worms. A large number of soul worms transformed into a pitch-black, writhing cloud, accompanied by eerie incantations, and roamed around the girl's body.

The incantation grew more and more intense, the cloud of soul insects became increasingly noisy, and the sound of their flapping wings resounded all around.

The incantation abruptly stopped, and Lucius pierced his own chest with his sword, plucked out his beating heart, and threw it into the swarm of insects.

The soul cloud devoured the heart, turning it into a dark red color.

“Mabel!” Lucius shouted.

The girl in the center of the magic circle raised her right hand, her fingernails scratching her forehead, blood flowing out. Responding to the heart being devoured by the soul cloud, she opened her mouth and emitted the same flapping sound.

The six "finger bones" suddenly shattered, and six wisps of dark blue matter floated out, drifting along with the sound of flapping wings, and entered Mabel's body.

Lucius's laughter drowned out the sound of flapping wings. He turned to Fred and said, "Your Majesty, there's only one last step."

Fred raised his hand, took a box from his pocket, and slowly opened it.

Inside the box were four "fingers," different from the pale white finger bones; they were fair, fleshy, and full of blood.

Four wisps of dark blue spirit emerged from her long, slender, white fingers and entered Mabel's forehead.

Lucius looked at the bloody hole in his chest, his earlier madness replaced by exhaustion. He said one last time, "Your Majesty, my daughter is gone, but your 'daughter' has returned. Please fulfill the long-cherished wish of our Augusta family."

After saying this, blood gushed from his body, and he instantly lost all life; he too was a sacrifice in the ritual.

Fred stepped over Lucius's corpse and walked to the center of the ceremony. The girl lay on the ground, fast asleep, her red hair scattered in the blood, shining brightly.

He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with expectation, confusion, and numbness.

The girl opened her amber eyes.

Chapter 87 is over, the disguise has been revealed.

"Watch out!" Eleanor jumped out of the window again, leaping towards a living dead man who was attacking the carriage from behind.

Elisa raised her hand, and a phantom of flame flashed in her palm, causing the undead to vanish instantly.

On the way here, Miss Elisa had been studying these creatures and had figured out how the "Fire Stealers" dealt with them: by briefly stealing fragments of their spirit, their structure would collapse.

Eleanor raised her hand and stared blankly at Elisa.

Elisa is also a superhuman!

“I sensed a threat; that fiery phantom was as terrifying as this thick fog,” Lady Necklace’s whisper roused Eleanor.

Miss Eleanor, who always deliberately acted confident and arrogant, was now lost in thought and remained silent for a long time.

“Eleanor,” Elisa turned to her friend, “this matter involves the power of a demigod. You stay home and don’t go out.”

Elisa then looked at Simon: "You stay with Eleanor."

The male servant hadn't advanced to the third rank yet, and even if he had, he would be powerless at this moment. Elisa decided to go to the palace herself to take a look.

Simon shook his head: "I have the power of the Sun Disk."

"And the vast amount of spiritual insight I captured when you used 'Miss's Late-Night Class'," he added mentally.

Elisa thought for a moment and nodded. Her "blood" spell had limited effectiveness against spirits; the "sun" domain was the true counter to spirits.

“I’ll go too,” Eleanor finally came to her senses, taking out the necklace from her chest. “The lady will help me.”

“Good evening, Miss Elisa,” Mrs. Necklace replied.

Elisa realized that this was Eleanor's teacher, the one who led Eleanor onto the path of the extraordinary.

She felt the sapphire necklace looked familiar, but didn't have time to think about it further.

Abandoning the carriage, they hurried toward the palace.

The royal palace in the capital has a history of thousands of years. When the old dynasty collapsed, the only building that was well preserved was the magnificent royal palace.

Over the centuries, the new dynasty made only minor repairs to the palace, replacing the garden in front of the palace with a courtyard and changing the furniture to fashionable styles; otherwise, it remained largely unchanged.

Simon, Elisa, and Eleanor arrived in the courtyard, where the green lawn was stained red with blood, and countless corpses lay on the ground.

These are the corpses of extraordinary individuals, powerful officials who came to the palace to obstruct the ceremony.

In the center of these corpses stood a figure with light brown hair, holding an ancient longsword.

"Prince Fred!"

Eleanor and Elisa recognized each other.

Fred had no interest in reminiscing. He raised his sword, blood dripping from the blade: "Leave, or die."

“My wife and I will stop him,” Eleanor decided quickly. “Elisa and Mr. Simon, hurry to the palace and stop the ceremony.”

She gripped the necklace tightly and met Fred's charge. A flash of eerie blue light, and they vanished together.

“It’s the power of the spirit world. That lady pulled them into the spirit world.” Elisa was surprised. “This is the power of a demigod. They should be fine.”

Upon meeting Fred, she became even more puzzled. What exactly was going on in the palace? Why was Fred working so hard? Was his relationship with the old king really that good?

I hope Eleanor and he will both be alright, sigh.

“Let’s go quickly,” Elisa said to Simon.

“Yes, Ms. Elisa.” Simon followed behind her.

Elisa took more than ten steps before she realized what was happening. What, "Teacher Elisa"? Shouldn't it be "Miss Elisa"?

Oh no, my most important secret identity has been exposed!

Putting other things aside, what will he do to me after he discovers that the teacher with the majestic Mount Ru is actually a poor young lady?

Hehe, luckily the news that Miss Elisa cares about her breast size has already spread throughout the manor. It's better to have more than you have.

Without responding to the servant's address, Miss Elisa strode into the palace to find the venue for the ceremony.

……

Between the spirit world and reality, Eleanor floats in the pitch-black space, the necklace on her chest floating.

Not far from her sight, Fred, holding a longsword, was blind and disoriented, darting about in the pitch-black space, searching for an exit.

Whenever he approached the edge of the dark space, Eleanor would tighten her grip on the necklace, shifting the dark space behind him to the front of him.

Whenever Fred approached her, she would silently drift away.

This is the power of the spirit world, called "exile".

"Pay attention," Lady Necklace reminded Eleanor, who was lost in thought.

Fred was already close, and Eleanor drifted away once more.

"What are you thinking about?" Lady Necklace asked, puzzled as to why Eleanor was distracted at such an important moment. "You've been acting strangely ever since you met Elisa."

"It's nothing," Eleanor said softly.

“He’s in very bad shape; he’ll collapse on his own soon,” the necklace lady encouraged the girl.

There is no medium for sound to travel in the spirit world, so Fred would not be able to hear their conversation.

Time passed slowly, and Fred reached the edge once again. Eleanor once again used the power of the necklace to move space.

She bit her lip and said, "I originally thought that Alyssa wasn't part of our circle."

The statement was abrupt and seemingly unrelated, but Lady Necklace quickly grasped Eleanor's meaning.

The word 'we' is important; it refers to Eleanor and the manservant.

The male servant previously openly stated his feelings for Elisa. Alas, if Elisa weren't a superhuman, the chances between them would be slim, while Eleanor's chances would be much greater. Now, Elisa is also a superhuman, and a very powerful one at that…

Lady Necklace didn't know how to comfort Eleanor, so she changed the subject: "I think I remember who I am."

"Really?" Eleanor asked with a pleasant surprise.

"It's true, my memories are being pieced together. Once this is all over, I should be able to fully recover. I'll tell you all about it then. Hehe, you can't call me 'Madam' anymore, I'm not married yet," the Necklace Lady said with a smile.

“Then let’s finish this quickly,” Eleanor said playfully, glancing at the exhausted Fred. “Can we attack now, Miss Necklace? Let’s kill him quickly and see if Elisa and Mr. Simon need any backup.”

Lady Necklace paused for a moment: "No, wait a little longer. He will collapse from his injuries and fall into a deep sleep."

……

After parting ways with Eleanor, Elisa sighed, never expecting that Eleanor also possessed such powerful extraordinary items, capable of unleashing demigod-level power. She had originally thought that Eleanor was just a novice who had just entered the realm of the extraordinary!

So, of the three of us sisters, only Mabel is a truly ordinary person. I wonder how Mabel is doing now; her estate is far from the palace, so she should be alright.

Together with Simon, they dealt with the guards Fred had left behind, and Elisa deduced that the center of the ritual was underground.

She raised her hand, and the blood in the palace, summoned by her, transformed into a giant spear high in the sky, crashing down and piercing the ground to reveal a vast underground space.

A pitch-black cloud flew out from underground, enveloping Elisa and Simon. From within the cloud came the sound of flapping wings—the sound of death-symbolizing dead soul worms.

Simon used the power of the "Sun Disk" to intercept the Soul Insect Cloud: "You go down first, Teacher Elisa."

Elisa thought for a moment, then raised her hand and tossed out a pile of items.

That was the "Return" pocket watch, and a bunch of talismans.

I originally planned to reward the male servant after he performed meritorious service, but now the time has come.

After briefly introducing the pocket watch's capabilities, Elisa entered the underground space, passed through layers of curtains, and met the person in the center of the ceremony.
