If it were a type of healing magic that existed within the bounds of human ethics, then it would indeed be helpless against a situation where the body’s vital signs had completely vanished—a hopeless case.
However, Fei’ouna’s spell was an extreme healing secret technique that combined “Dark Magic.”
And dark magic did not originate from the demon race either.
Rather, some human mages with extremely high magical attainment—either to satisfy their own desires or out of obsession with magic—created this dark magic that stood outside the conventional magic system, characterized by sacrifice and cruelty.
When she was still a hero, Fei’ouna only had a relatively superficial understanding of it and had not delved deeper.
Because this was a field that could not be touched.
A naive fool like her would certainly follow the rules and be a law-abiding good person.
But now she wasn’t even human anymore, so what was there to say about those restrictions formed by rules and regulations?
In the demon realm, as long as one understood the strict hierarchical concept of superior and subordinate, there was basically no constraint except in cities with relatively strict systems.
So, because of lax management, many humans who had fallen to become witches were attracted and voluntarily came to live in the demon realm.
After all, most of these people were fanatical magic researchers.
If they stayed in the Holmud Empire, once discovered, they would be wanted by the Inquisition’s enforcement.
Thus, a large number of witches and priestesses chose to leave their homeland and come to this land full of wildness and freedom.
And Yilisi also introduced related support policies.
As long as one was on the Church’s wanted list and intended to cooperate with the demons, they could not only receive protection but also, if they performed well, be specially recruited to serve in the allied forces.
Now, the secret technique Fei’ouna used to save her beloved disciple was a skill developed based on the “Dark Magic Forbidden Scroll” compiled by those witches.
Of course, her approach was relatively restrained.
She only seized the life breath and magic power from the plants, not making it too bloody or cruel.
But don’t underestimate the flowers blooming in the side hall.
They were all rare special varieties imbued with magic.
The main reason these flowers were planted here was to provide magical energy for the operation of the ritual.
Today, they happened to catch Fei’ouna’s eye and became sacrificial materials for saving someone.
And the secret technique she unleashed, “Life and Death Taking,” perfectly matched the high-efficiency characteristics of dark magic.
As large swaths of surrounding flowers withered and died 🥀, Linka, whose cheeks had been bloodless, whose heartbeat and pulse had disappeared, whose lips were dry and features haggard, now showed clear improvement.
Although she was still unconscious in a coma, at least she had a faint heartbeat, which showed that Fei’ouna had snatched her life back from the hands of death.
And Kaxiya, who witnessed the miracle with her own eyes, now had even greater admiration for Fei’ouna.
She had originally maintained some doubt about the resurrection secret technique her mother had mentioned, but facts speak louder than words.
The human woman who had been a corpse just a second ago was now alive, so she had completely underestimated her mother’s strength.
But to be fair, Kaxiya still didn’t understand why her mother would go to such trouble to save this purple-haired woman.
Although she was an opponent worthy of admiration, in terms of stance, she was still a life-and-death enemy.
So when it came time to strike, our princess would show no mercy.
If it was to obtain information, then she could have just handed her over to the Demon King to handle.
But for her mother to disagree with Yilisi on one of the rare occasions, she chose to do so at this moment.
‘Could it be that her mother had a saint complex? Had she taken pity on humans?’
‘It seems… this really is something the old lady would do…’
If Kaxiya thought that way, then she really had a serious misunderstanding of Fei’ouna.
Although she had indeed almost become the Church’s saint, Fei’ouna’s stance was absolutely solid.
She would never do anything that harmed the interests of the demon race.
As for everything that had happened now, it was also completely following Yilisi’s orders.
It’s just that the Demon King had taken a sudden interest in the human who had infiltrated and wanted to intervene.
But how to put this…
After all, she was a disciple she had personally trained, and they also got along very well.
Both of them had straightforward personalities that weren’t very popular in imperial society.
So if she could give her a hand, she would.
Consider it a final bit of help from her, the teacher, to her disciple.
Moreover, Fei’ouna, having regained her confidence, was quite confident that she could pull Linka over to her own camp.
That way, it would be the perfect outcome.
And according to the plan, after she became the “Shield Hero” again, she would have many opportunities to accomplish this incidentally.
Of course, Fei’ouna also noticed the puzzled expression in her daughter’s big eyes.
It was right not to understand.
Before Yilisi told her, Fei’ouna also couldn’t guess the Demon King’s intentions at all.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t lay out the whole plan to her daughter.
After all, Kaxiya had grown up and had the capital and strength to stand on her own.
But what Fei’ouna worried about was that her daughter was too curious.
Once she started, she would burst out with the tenacious perseverance to get to the bottom of things and keep asking.
Plus, the secrets involved were too complicated and intricate.
So she had to simply assign her out before Kaxiya showed signs of this.
“Kaxiya, go lock these two humans up in the Black Prison Dungeon.”
“Choose a good cell and don’t let anything happen to them.”
“After all, they can be considered our honored guests.”
Although no notification documents had been issued, Kaxiya at present was effectively relieved of all her duties, acting as her mother’s bodyguard and secretary.
If someone else arranged such a low-level task, Kaxiya would definitely resist and refuse immediately.
After all, she was the dignified demon princess and legion commander.
How could she do such menial work that any demon soldier could do?
But when it came to Mother’s words, she had to listen.
Not only did she listen without any discontent, but Kaxiya didn’t even say an extra word.
She transformed into her winged form and carried the two humans, flying back along the same route toward the “Black Prison Dungeon.”
Before leaving, she only nodded and said, “As you command, Mother.”
Rather than worrying about her mother being alone after she left.
If not for Fei’ouna showing off some impressive feats in front of her daughter today, then even in the demon race’s stronghold, the Old Demon City, in the heavily guarded Demon King’s palace, Kaxiya would not have been completely at ease.
Because ever since Kaxiya could remember, her mother had been a pure housewife who rarely even left the castle.
Combined with Yilisi’s almost obsessive protective power, it had formed a mindset in her that her mother was very fragile and needed strict protection.
