This was Collei's first time to Starsnatch Cliff, and also her first time to stand at such a high place. She looked at Cyno standing at the top, then looked at Bai Luo beside her, and cast a questioning look at the latter.
"Now is the time when the demon's aura is at its weakest. Let me confirm with you again. After the seal, you can no longer use the demon's power, otherwise you will be devoured by the demon's remnants that react. Even if you stay next to him, it will be useless."
Cyno was not trying to scare Collei, he was just telling the truth.
This kind of thing is like the remnants of the demon god eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly being robbed by bandits. Not only has a strange man been suppressing it, but the boy who suddenly appeared has also sealed it.
If Collei gave it another chance to come out and make trouble, it would probably devour Collei without mercy. Not to mention Bai Luo's suppression, even if the Ice Queen took action herself, it would fight to the death.
Anyway, there are only remnants left, so those with bare feet are not afraid of those wearing shoes.
"..."
Collei was silent.
The fact that she has been able to survive these years of wandering is also related to the power of these demons. Although this thing once tortured her, to Collei, isn't it just another form of Vision?
The reason why I agreed so readily last night was that I heard that it was sealed, so I wondered if there was still a chance to release it.
If we seal it completely...
"Collei."
Bai Luo gently placed his hand on Collei's body and said softly, "Make your own decision and don't let it affect you."
"it?"
Collei was stunned for a moment, then the expression on her face began to change, because she had realized who Bai Luo was talking about.
Demon residue.
Collei's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the seal had made the remaining demon in her body aware of it and even had some impact on her thinking.
"Please help me seal it!"
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all.
The past days are just the past, and she no longer needs to rely on this thing to survive.
She now has a new faith.
BK201.
The perennial wind of Mondstadt blew on Cyno's cloak, puffing it up gently.
He raised his hands, made a praying gesture (refer to the gesture made by the character when changing relics), and began to mutter to himself.
The gentle wind began to become violent and restless, and this place, which was originally closest to the sky, began to be shrouded in dark clouds.
"hiss--"
The black and purple flame-shaped object was pulled out from the back of Collei's neck and peeled off.
"Oooooh…Aaaaah!"
Collei fell to her knees in agony. All the bones in her body were creaking and her limbs were cramping.
Bai Luo once described to her the feeling of having the demon's remnants extracted, saying it was like riding a roller coaster? She didn't know what a roller coaster was, but compared to the feeling Bai Luo described, it was much more painful now.
She felt that something had taken root in her body, and what Cyno was doing now was to pull it out of her body.
The purple-black flames above Collei gradually condensed into the shape of a cobra. It stared fiercely at Cyno in front of it, as if it wanted to swallow this guy in one bite.
But at the moment it solidified, the spell in Cyno's mouth stopped.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang--"
Four walls of light appeared around the snake-shaped flame and formed the shape of a pyramid, completely enveloping it.
"Aaaaaaah——!"
The serpentine flames were roaring and continuously hitting the light walls around them. Collei below was also wailing in pain. Every impact of the snake seemed to hit her body. Black and purple substances seeped out from her bandages and sank into the underground magic circle.
Cyno's hands, which were originally loosely clasped together, slowly moved closer and closed, and the pyramid that trapped the giant snake also gradually shrank.
Amid the snake's painful roar, the pyramid finally shrank to the size of a sunset fruit and sank into the back of Colle's neck.
And Collei also shook her body and fell on the grass.
However, the magic circle above the grass, which was originally light golden, has now turned purple-black.
"Huhu... The seal has been placed. I will report back to Mondstadt first."
Slightly panting, Cyno said.
It is not an easy task to seal the demon, especially when it is a demon that has been entrenched in Colle's body for many years.
Even though it is a residue, after being nurtured in the human body for many years, its power is far stronger than that of ordinary demon residue.
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain. The remnants of the demon were successfully sealed, and he had more material for his academic research.
"Thanks a lot."
"It's my duty."
Cyno did not stay long, he still had a lot of things to do and also needed to rest. Bai Luo offered to lend him the slime, but he declined.
After sending Cyno away, Bai Luo helped Collei up, but did not rush to wake her up. Instead, he checked her body.
All her vital signs were normal. Cyno's seal was only aimed at the demon. Although she screamed miserably just now, she was not actually hurt much. The pain was mostly fed back to her by the big snake.
He lifted her arm and peeled off the bandage wrapped around her arm. The originally hideous wound had disappeared, and the pink skin with a hint of red replaced the disgusting dark red muscle tissue.
It's not just the arms.
Her cheeks, neck, chest, and abdomen below the mouth were affected by the epidemic, and the scars that were originally there have basically healed.
"Is it the effect of the magic circle?"
Bai Luo looked at the charred magic circle again and recalled that something seemed to have been absorbed into the magic circle. He originally thought that it was a sealing magic circle to help seal the remnants of the demon god, but he didn't expect it to be a healing magic circle to suppress Collei's injuries.
Looking at Collei who was resting her head on his legs, Bai Luo reached out to remove the grass leaves on her face, and at the same time tidied her slightly messy hair.
Having lived with this child for so long, he knew exactly what she went through every night.
Pain, suffering, anxiety...
Bai Luo once teased her, saying that she had a nightmare and cried and wanted to sleep with him. This was not a joke. Bai Luo saw the pain of this child at night.
It was only last night that he borrowed the potion from Cyno and turned her into a cat, which allowed her to have a good night's sleep for the first time.
He did this not only because he didn't want the missionaries to notice her presence, but also to allow her to perform the sealing work in a fully alert state of mind.
It's not that Bai Luo is afraid of missionaries. In his plan, the missionary cannot discover Collei's existence too early, otherwise it will affect his plan.
Now, Collei was sleeping soundly than ever before. Curled up like a little baby, her face no longer had the previous fatigue and alertness.
Go to sleep, sleep well. When she wakes up, there is still a fight waiting for her.
