Ono spotted Kazuo’s return and asked hastily, “Mr. Kawaguchi, where should we house this woman?” Kazuo replied,
“Da*n it. This woman is incredibly powerful. Lock her in the Category A prison cell!”
Ono nodded and summoned some men to bring Evangeline to the prison cells. In the meantime, Kazuo whipped off
his shirt, revealing a ghastly wound across his shoulder. He stared at the wound, his gaze brimming with ferocity.
After cleaning up the wound, Kazuo headed to the prison cells. When he arrived, he waved Ono and the others
away, announcing, “Everyone, get out. I have something to say to her!”
Kazuo came to a stop before Evangeline’s jail cell, which was shrouded in an arcane array designed to suppress the
abilities of its prisoner. Still, Evangeline did not display the slightest hint of panic as she came face-to-face with
Kazuo.
“Who are you? Why do you know secret witchcraft from thousands of years ago? Did you reincarnate in a new
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbody? Or are you possessed by an ancient spirit?” demanded Kazuo.
Disdain flitted across Evangeline’s features as she returned, “I won’t tell you who I am. You can investigate my
background if you want to know more!”
Kazuo narrowed his eyes dangerously just as a cloud of spiritual sense enveloped Evangeline.
Just as the spiritual sense darted into Evangeline’s body, it was immediately shattered by some force within her
body. Stunned, Kazuo jumped backward and stammered, “W-Why isn’t your ability suppressed?”
Evangeline smirked and drawled, “These little tricks can hardly affect me.”
Her body housed the soul of the holy maiden from Lunarius Palace thousands of years ago. Kazuo’s attempt to
infiltrate Evangeline’s body with his spiritual sense was practically a joke.
The holy maiden’s ability was halved under the repression of the energy of heaven and earth. That was the only
reason Kazuo succeeded in catching Evangeline.
Still, she was not frightened. Even if Kazuo caught her, he would certainly have a tough time trying to kill her. Kazuo
glared at Evangeline for a moment longer before turning away in resignation.
He reminded Ono, “Keep a close eye on her. Do not let her escape. And no one is allowed near her. If anyone’s
stupid enough to disobey my orders, they’ll have it coming.”
Kazuo planned to return to Jetroina and seek out a Soul Searching Master. His interaction with Evangeline gave him
clues about the presence of a powerful spirit within her body.
The spirit had likely been around for thousands of years. He was no match for such a powerful” entity and would
need all the help he could get.
Soon, Kazuo left Chanaea with some backup and returned to Jetroina. Meanwhile, Lizbeth, Cecilia, and the others
began fretting over Evangeline’s disappearance.
They had not seen the hide or hair of Evangeline for days. Everyone in Deragon Sect joined the search efforts,

Alas, no one knew Evangeline’s true identity, which hampered their investigation. Only Fernando knew about the
holy maiden in Evangeline’s body, yet he dared not tell Chester about it.
I can only hope for Jared to solve this! At that moment, Jared was fervently absorbing the spiritual energy from the
blood demon statue on Encanta Island.
The initial resistance of the statue had inexplicably disappeared, and its seemingly unending pool of spiritual energy
had become a valuable resource for Jared and Deragon Sect’s members.
Almost a fortnight later, Jared had ascended to a Third Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis. However, no matter how
much time he devoted to cultivation afterward, he no longer felt an improvement in his abilities.
He opened his eyes slowly and muttered, “It seems the spiritual energy in this statue can no longer support my
cultivation.”
He froze in shock as his gaze landed on the blood demon statue. It was covered in a dense network of cracks, and it
looked as if it would crumble at any moment.
