“Regardless of who’s right or wrong, her appearance is indeed somewhat related to you. Perhaps you should agree to help Isabella, after all, clearing these undead should be to your benefit as well,” Isabel said, looking back at Angel with an implied meaning in her words.
Angel could tell that Isabel had figured out that the White Light Bullets needed to be gathered by killing undead.
Indeed, when Angel had used the ‘Samsara Overture’ to slaughter the undead in Black Castle, Isabel must have noticed. With a little more deduction, she would have arrived at the truth.
Angel fell silent, and Isabel did not hurry him, simply sitting on the sofa, silently watching Angel.
Not just Isabel, but Kimberly and Isabella also fixed their gaze on Angel. Their thoughts might have been different, but their final actions were the same.
Sanders leisurely lifted his teacup to drink. He hadn’t expected the situation to become so complicated, with the focus eventually falling on Angel.
The silence lingered for a long time, and when the steam from the teacup was almost gone, Angel finally spoke:
“I really want to know, what exactly did she do that caused such a catastrophe to befall Black Castle?”
King Gumman’s thirteenth daughter indeed harbored the greatest hatred for Black Castle before her death, but she hadn’t been an undead for long; surely she hadn’t become powerful enough in such a short time to influence Black Castle to such a degree?
“Have you ever heard of a ‘Special Soul’?” Isabel asked instead of answering.
“Special Soul? Are you referring to a soul with special abilities?” If that was the answer, not only had Angel seen it, but he himself actually counted as one.
“You could say that,” Isabel nodded, “There are many reasons for the formation of Special Souls. Some inherit abilities from their living days, some were ordinary in life but activated certain abilities after death, and others become Special Souls through external forces.”
“And she, in fact, is a Special Soul who developed a particular ability after death.”
Angel: “What ability?”
“What can be confirmed so far is control over undead and the ability to hide.”
Isabel briefly described the events that had befallen Black Castle, which was, in essence, a simple tale of an undead’s revenge.
She harbored deep resentment against Black Castle, and so she launched an attack on it by manipulating a vast number of undead.
To ‘control undead’ refers not just to manipulating them, but also granting them abilities, and even activating some of their energy for kamikaze-style attacks.
There were simply too many undead in Black Castle; without targeted Purification abilities, they were exceedingly difficult to eliminate.
Moreover, Official Wizards, who are mostly capable of purifying undead, had to be urgently recalled from their various stations to Black Castle for this reason.
Yet, even after more than half a year, there was still no success, and the main body of Black Castle had even been occupied by the undead.
In such a predicament, they had an idea: since they couldn’t kill all the undead, they might as well take action against the prime culprit.
Then they discovered that they couldn’t find where the culprit was hiding at all.
Even Isabel couldn’t find the culprit’s location. That was when they deduced the thirteenth daughter of King Gumman’s second ability – to hide.
At this point, Angel became somewhat puzzled: “If you can’t find her location, how do you know what she looks like?”
