At this moment, Irelias suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of Selena as she let out a punch toward the latter's face.
But sadly for her, just as her punch was about to land, Irelia suddenly stopped and fell to the ground.
"It looks like I made the seal a little bit too tight," mumbled Selena as she took out a potion from her robe and fed it to Irelia, leaving the latter lying on the floor.
"Teacher, Isn't it a little bit wasteful to simply kill Ighor?" asked Beatrice, causing Selena to let out a chuckle.
"Don't worry, I have a use for him," said Selena, causing Beatrice to feel a slight chill in his heart.
After making sure that Irelia was fine, Selena got up from the ground and stared at Daniel, who was sitting on the ground in his cell, a blank look on his face.
"Now, my little disciple, we can continue," mumbled Selena, causing Beatrice to suddenly feel a tiny amount of pity for this group.
...
Three days later,
"Teacher, he should have already been completely destroyed, was this even necessary?" asked Beatrice as she looked with disgust at Nicholas who was lying unconscious on the ground without his pants, as well as at the troll who had just vented it's desires.
"You shouldn't underestimate the willpower of mages, you would be shocked to see what someone can recover from," said Selena as she shook her head.
Hearing her teacher's words, a chill couldn't help but appear in Beatrice's heart.
"Well, since you don't want to watch anymore, how about you help me look after some children," said Selena, causing some doubts to appear on Beatrice's face.
...
A few hours later,
As Selena walked through the halls of her underground home, a small smile couldn't help but appear on her face as she felt the extremely familiar smell of blood which was emanating from beyond a particular door.
Right now, a simple coffin was floating behind Selena, keeping up with her as she walked towards the door.
...
As Selena opened the door, and stared inside of the room, at the over two hundred children, which were standing obediently in their seats, she couldn't help but click her teeth.
"Maybe you are suitable for becoming a teacher," mumbled Selena as she walked into the room and looked at Beatrice, who had a little boy and a little girl sitting on her lap.
Hearing that, Beatrice let out a slight chuckle.
"It's nothing teacher, these kids were really obedient," said Beatrice as she watched Selena walk into the room with a coffin behind her.
"Alright you obedient little guys go back to your seats," said Beatrice causing the two kids to quickly run away from her and sit down in a corner.
In the middle of the room, right in the center of where the children were placed, stood an extremely complicated spell circle, sadly though, the circle had a tiny imperfection, a small handprint, which completely shattered the perfect circle.
As Selena placed the coffin in the middle of this circle, she couldn't help but shake her head and begin fixing it.
"It looks like one little guy wasn't obedient, but it seems as though you took good care nof him," mumbled Selena as she smelled the faint smell of blood in the room.
Hearing that, Beatrice couldn't help but chuckle.
"Things really are that much more convenient when you have such a good helper like you," mumbled Selena after fixing the spell circle, now staring at the two hundred and forty-nine children in front of her with a smile on her face.
Without any warning, the coffin, as well as the large spell circle surrounding it, began glowing as Selena began pouring her mana into it.
A moment later, a young girl, the child closest to the coffin, suddenly fell to the ground, her body suddenly dissolving into nothing.
After that, the pure soul of the young girl slowly but surely traveled throw the spell circle, being ground to dust in the process.
An excruciating minute later, the soul of the little girl had successfully become part of the ritual, causing another child to fall to the ground, continuing the cycle.
Four hours later,
After four hours, all of the children had been successfully sacrificed, causing a faint, yet stable breathing to be heard from the coffin in the middle of the room.
"It seems as though we succeeded on our first attempt," mumbled Selena as she stared at the coffin in front of her with a smile on her face.
Although destroying souls was something extremely easy for Selena, and something she could even do back when she was a Mage, using the Rank 4 Dark Revival Spell was not that simple, as Selena had to use the energy from these souls to actually drag Ighor back from the dead.
As such, after four hours of doing this, even Selena had become somewhat tired.
Staring at the scene in front of her, especially at the now living being sleeping inside of the coffin, a somewhat blank look couldn't help but appear on Beatrice's face.
At the same time, Selena suddenly opened the coffin, revealing Ighor, who was sleeping inside of it.
Although Selena was uite happy that she had managed to bring Ighor back from the dead, as she stared at the latter, she couldn't help but silently let out a sigh.
'As expected, it's not perfect,' thought Selena, feeling Ighor's life slowly but surely dissipate.
"One soul every two months, since it doesn't need to be a pure soul like this time, it shouldn't be too bad," mumbled Selena, causing Beatrice's eyes to suddenly widen.
'I still need to do more research on a more perfect method, she will surely refuse to devour souls to survive,' thought Selena as she let out another sigh.
How good would it be if her sister was like Archmage Withered Soul, not caring that he had to devour souls to live.
After a few more moments, Selena broke out of her thoughts before turning her attention back to Ighor.
Only a moment later, Selena's lips landed on Ighor's forehead, forever branding both his body and soul as her mana quickly entrenched herself in him.
