"It is said that this 'dragon' has the special ability to steal human time."

"Does that have anything to do with the curse?"

"Exactly, Adam." Ruth said, "During the battle with him, he tried to simulate this ability. Although it seemed that it only took away time on the surface."

Hai Lin nodded: "So, has Lady Ruth maintained this image since then?"

"Yes." Ruth continued to blow out the smoke and looked directly at Helene.

"If you want to fight him, be careful. Although I don't know if it is true, but if he is really a real 'ageless' 'traveler', then he should have power beyond our imagination."

Hailin looked back firmly, lowered her head and bowed: "Thank you very much for your advice."

Ruth looked at Helene and smiled softly: "Well, if you spank my stupid grandson, he will fight tooth and nail for you."

Ruth couldn't stop laughing as she spoke, and Helene could only respond with a wry smile: "What did you say about the actual situation?"

"......What's wrong?"

"About Ryan. That kid looks like the old man and turns into a good man. If you have an idea, do it now."

Hailin panicked after understanding: "You...what are you talking about! Ryan and I have a brotherly relationship, that kind of thing is impossible!"

"Oh, isn't that the kind of relationship you have? It's so boring." Ruth said with a bad smile, but then added, "I don't know if he is sincere."

"An also seems to have a crush on him. If you just stand by and watch, he might be snatched away, right?"

Helene froze in confusion at the answer. Looking at Helene, Ruth smiled softly.

"Then, if you don't regret it." She just said that and poured the ashes from the pipe into the stove.

When Helene responded with a wry smile, she saw that only ashes fell from the stove, not the pipe.

She blinked, frowned, and raised her gaze. There he saw Ruth's eyes wide and trembling.

Suddenly there was a strange atmosphere.

Hailin asked: "Lord Ruth?"

The next moment, Ruth suddenly vomited a large amount of blood and fell to the ground. The bright red blood splashed and fell into the stove, making the sound of sizzling evaporation.

"Lord Ruth!" Hailin stood up in a hurry and rushed towards Ruth.

She picked up Ruth, but Ruth’s eyes were still wide and trembling: “Is there anyone there! Someone come quickly!!”

Helene's shouts came as footsteps came from outside. Helene turned her eyes to Ruth again. Although she was panting, she could still breathe steadily.

Helene had time to think about what had happened to Ruth, who had strange patterns on her neck.

"What's going on with this thing?"

Hailin frowned and stared at it. After only watching it for a few seconds, she found that it spread slightly. At this time, the sliding door suddenly opened, and Ann and Maria rushed in.

"What's wrong?" The two were stunned when they saw Hailin holding Ruth.

"Lord Ruth suddenly felt uncomfortable!" After Helene said this, Maria ran over and squatted down. She touched Ruth's face and body, frowning.

"What is this..." Maria said with her eyes wide open, and Helene asked: "What's wrong?"

"Lord Ruth's magic is constantly disappearing from within. I have never seen anything like this."

At this time, Olivia showed her face. Followed closely by Ryan and Grim, the three of them looked around the room and understood the development process.

"Maria." Olivia calmly called Maria, but Maria shook her head: "I have never seen such symptoms. It's like the magic is being swallowed from the inside."

"From the inside?" Olivia knelt down next to Ruth and tried to touch her head gently. At this moment, Maria suddenly buried her face on Olivia's shoulder.

The sudden weight made Olivia hurriedly adjust her posture to support her: "Mary..." Just as he was about to call her name, Olivia noticed that her clothes were dyed red from her chest.

Olivia held Maria's shoulders in surprise, Maria lowered her head feebly, and a large amount of blood flowed from her mouth: "Maria!"

Confused. Ryan appeared shaken, while Grimm, who was standing next to him, whispered: "Magic infection..."

"No!" Grimm hurriedly grabbed Ruth from Helene. He laid her down on her back and then prompted Olivia to do the same.

Then, they all stared at the two people's necks. There were strange patterns there, and Grim bit his lip.

"Is this really the case?" He murmured to himself, with a hint of regret: "Listen carefully, don't let the magic power of these two people interfere with each other, even if you restore the magic power."

To the surprised Olivia, Grim said calmly: "This is a poison called a 'magic block'."

After Olivia showed an incomprehensible expression, Grim continued: "The venom used by snake-type monsters has a very high fatality rate and contagiousness. In this era, no monster can use such a venom." It’s poisonous, so it’s normal not to know.”

After listening to Grimm's words, An held on to his clothes tightly: "Are you two okay!?"

Grim looked embarrassed. Ryan, who was listening silently, suddenly let go of Ann's shoulder and took a step away from Grim: "Please answer directly. How are you two? And what should we do?"

Grim nodded and looked down at the two people: "If it is Ms. Ruth's magic power, the barrier can be lifted for about two days, but Miss Maria is afraid..."

He narrowed his eyes and said regretfully: "In the long run, eight hours is the limit."

An's lips trembled and she murmured: "That's it..."

"I'm not sure. It's just a rough guess..."

Grimm hesitated, and Ryan asked: "It might actually be faster, right?" Grimm nodded regretfully.

When Olivia heard this, she suddenly stood up: "Leave the matter of the barrier to me. In the meantime..."

Grim interrupted her: "No. Judging from the onset and current situation, the infection route is the barrier. Re-establishing the barrier will only make you infected."

"That's it, then what should we do..."

Even Olivia was lost in thought.

Besieged on all sides. Just then...

"Don't worry." Ruth said in a weak voice, "I will maintain the barrier. Compared with this, the most important thing is Maria..."

Grim shook his head: "You can't do that. Are you planning to let yourself die?"

"It's better to do this than let the children die."

Grimm covered his head helplessly. He raised his head and his eyes fell on Helene and Ryan. They stared back at him with firm eyes, as if telling him, "Figure it out."
