Mirajane slowly released her praying hands, her pretty face turning deathly pale, because in that fading roar, Elfman's voice had completely disappeared, leaving only the Beast King's voice.
What this means is self-evident.
Elfman's purple eyes looked down at Mirajane, devoid of any emotion, and he stepped forward.
Mirajane didn't choose to run away. Although she was now powerless to fight back, she stood firmly in the open space, tears welling in her eyes, looking at 'Elfman' and shouting, "Elfman, pull yourself together!!!"
"Sister Mirajane."
Just then, a bluebird flew down from the sky, its body flashing with blue light. It transformed into Lisanna and landed beside Mirajane. glanced at the enormous 'Elfman' and asked, "Sister Mira, what happened? Where is Brother Elfman?"
"Run, Lisanna!" Mirajane cried, tears streaming down her face as she looked at 'Elfman.' " It's all my fault for being so careless. Elfman used all the magic he received to fight the Beast King in order to protect me..."
"So that means…" Lisanna looked at 'Elfman's' enormous body in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"The Beast King's magic is too strong. Elfman can't suppress it at all. He has completely lost his mind now!" Mirajane said.
"How could this happen?" Lisanna said in disbelief, supporting the weak Mirajane. "How could Brother Elfman have become like this?"
"We need to wake him up quickly, otherwise he'll suffer a backlash and be taken over by the Beast King!" Mirajane said.
When receiving magic, especially the soul of a monster, the magic is bidirectional. If you can suppress the monster's soul, you can absorb it and make it the soul of the monster that you receive magic from, providing you with assistance. However, if you cannot suppress it and it turns against you, it can also absorb you.
Therefore, spellcasters who receive magic are extremely cautious when choosing to receive the soul of a monster. In addition to considering whether the monster's attributes are compatible with their own, they also need to consider the strength of the monster.
A situation like Elfman's would not happen unless absolutely necessary.
"Brother Elfman…" Looking at the 'Elfman' who had lost his mind, Lisanna suddenly put Mirajane down and slowly walked towards him, her expression calm and indifferent.
"Lisanna, what are you doing!" Mirajane exclaimed in shock.
When Lisanna reached Elfman, the latter stopped, head bowed, seemingly puzzled as to what the tiny 'ant' at his feet was trying to do...
"Brother Elfman, what's wrong?" Lisanna blinked her clear and pure eyes, looked up at 'Elfman', her voice as clear as ever, showing no fear of the enormous beast king's body before her, as if this was still the Elfman brother she knew.
"I'm Lisanna, don't you remember me? And Mirajane too!" Lisanna tilted her head, revealing her sweet smile. "I believe Brother Elfman would never forget us, right? Because Lisanna and Mirajane both love Brother Elfman the most!"
Lisanna wanted to use the unbreakable bond between the three of them to awaken the irrational Elfman, but the real Elfman had completely lost consciousness. At this moment, Elfman was completely controlled by the Beast King, and he could not understand the emotions between humans.
Therefore, Lisanna's naive behavior is no different from courting death.
As expected, the Beast King showed no mercy and raised his arm, lashing it out at Lisanna.
"No!"
Seeing this, Mirajane's eyes widened in horror, and tears streamed down her face. At that moment, Zeros's words before she left echoed in her mind once again.
Especially those last four words, which seemed to be engraved in her mind—'People will die'.
Zeros's words seemed to have come true.
But why?!
Mirajane felt a deep sense of regret. Why?
Why should her beloved younger siblings have to bear the consequences of her mistakes? If time could be turned back, she would definitely choose to listen to Zeros and not contact the Beast King.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world, and time cannot be reversed... Well, no, time could possibly reverse, but not here...
Elfman's fist had already landed, and Mirajane didn't even dare to look at what was about to happen. But then, the situation suddenly changed!
