Uriel was thrown out by the strong wind, the magic ice shield rotated, and Eze fell next to him. The druid's chest rose and fell slightly, and the apprentice tried his best to use his little basic medical knowledge to determine that his injuries did not seem to be life-threatening.

So Uriel turned and looked towards the hall——

Everything you can see is frosty white. The rockfall pits are attached to the ice layer, and the scorched ravines everywhere are hidden in the solid ice. The smooth and faceted appearance actually looks much more pleasing to the eye.

Joey stood in the cold air and looked down at the priest:

"I hate going around putting out fires."

Newell barely managed to stay awake in the mystery that froze his soul: "...You came really beyond my expectation, the messenger of the Sky Tower. Levi shouldn't be so fragile, he even has the strength of a high-level person."

"It's all the same," the messenger replied.

The pressure from the Sky Realm made it difficult for Gao Huan to move forward. In the center of the polar-like scene is a human figure wrapped in ice. No matter how much the magic power of the undead is layered upon one another, it cannot break through the ice and snow cage created by the ultra-low temperature.

The Necromancer is still struggling to break free: "Death is unstoppable! The Sky Realm will also come to an end!"



"Are you still alive"

Uriel was so exhausted that the writing in his field of vision was blurred: "... Sauron? Let me rest for a while."

"..."

"He asked me to apologize to you," the ring wrote, "Frostleaf Castle should not be the target of the Necromancer."

"No, I am very grateful to him for letting me come here. I will see with my own eyes that the murderer of Cecilia atoned for her." Uriel replied, "And I also contributed, which is the most important thing. .”

He told Sauron about his prophetic magic, and the ring paused for a moment: "For predicting magic, Croita is just right for you." You're in luck. 』

"But the path of mystery is not that easy. The profession must correspond to the attributes of magic... Wait, you have changed professions? 』

"Thanks to Gaia." The apprentice felt that this was absolutely true. "I found the Scroll of Oath in Frostleaf Castle, which made me a Knight of Proverbs. The Necromancer is also looking for it. About my profession and Scrolls, do you know anything more detailed?"

"..." Sauron was a little stuck, "Proverbs seem to be magical, knight?" This is a warrior type... I’m not sure.』

Uriel glanced at it in disbelief.

"Hey, what's that expression on your face!" I'm not a magic index, so don't ask me if you have anything! 』

Compared to the master's expression which remained calm, the ring was much different. It pushed back angrily: "It's just that you have no reputation at all in that lousy profession!" 』

"What Knight of Proverbs - are you going to use your sword to persuade people to do good?" ! 』

You are absolutely right...

Uriel thought about it and found that he was indeed like this: using the Scroll of Oath to realize the hymn of Gaia is simply the perfect interpretation of this professional name!

And prophecy-type magic can be considered within the scope of verbal magic, right? Probably the spell-free spellcasting of the Silent School has no chance with him.

"It's better than turning into a groundhog." The apprentice couldn't get rid of the image of Eze transforming into an animal. That was probably the druid's magic.

"That's a mage-type profession. If you want to learn it, you have to memorize a long spell." This period of time is enough for you to die several times during the battle, but you may not succeed in the end.』

"Can I turn into an animal?"

"If you can't understand the corresponding mysterious knowledge, you will never learn it in your life." Sauron sneered at his fantasy. "When changing jobs, fire will communicate with magic power. The relevant knowledge will be recorded in the magic power. This is the meaning of job change.』

"If you rely on self-study, you will have to learn the basic charge of a warrior for twenty or thirty years."

"Forget it then."

Looking at the one-sided situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but be a little curious: "What is Bai's profession?"

"Winter Guard, somewhere between a warrior and a mage, is as uncommon as your profession. There isn’t much information about this profession in Croita, which is really strange.』

"I heard that the mystics in the Sky Tower are mainly astrologers?" Uriel speculated.

"Maybe it's related"

Sauron was not keen on this topic.

Its body was still on Joey's hand, but the runes couldn't even withstand the magic power of the Sky Realm. The messenger couldn't control his strength during the battle, so Mr. Gessen just became a spectator.

Uriel wanted to ask about the Scroll of Oath again, but suddenly the lines on the ice shield were distorted, and Sauron wrote several symbols in extremely large sizes:

"Get down!" 』

In front of the skylight, the young man pressed his arm, and the surging magic power swept down like an avalanche, letting out a silent roar!

The sharp drop in temperature caused a blast of atmospheric flow and friction, squeezing together to form a white wave, and Uriel was pushed into the ice shield; the polar cold current ran through the hall, turning the entire main castle of Frostleaf Castle into a deep sea. Cold desperate situation.

"Pale Prison"!

Uriel felt the coldness that seemed to penetrate his soul, and his consciousness became blurred.

The ghost servants of the Necromancer fell from the air with crackling sounds, and their shadows became fainter and fainter in the ice until they disappeared.

Even the shadow behind the Necromancer froze for a moment.

"...!!"

Newell's face changed wildly. He ignored his body that was frozen on the ground. He gritted his teeth and covered his whole body with green flames. At the same time, the chains were intertwined into a web and his bones grew crazily, hoping to block the blow.

The wind and snow condensed into a giant hammer——

Falling suddenly!

The green fire curtain burst instantly, and the biting ice magic broke the chains, shattered the bones, and smashed the Necromancer into the frozen soil.

Uriel, who was lying on the ground, heard a deafening roar. He felt the ground shaking violently, and the Frostleaf Castle was shaking!

The fence of the walkway on the second floor collapsed, and the iron rods became extremely brittle due to the frost, clanging against the ice. The heat was desperately escaping outwards, and even the sunlight shining into the castle was covered with a layer of white.

After the dizziness, Uriel was finally able to stick his head out and look at the battlefield.

There was a crash at this time.

The ice cracked and sank, and the ground in the center of the hall suddenly sank two feet. Large pieces of stone slabs fell and collapsed, and the scene was like a landslide.

"Goddess... on top!"

The apprentice was stunned, and the shock in his heart was simply indescribable.

However, just when he thought the Necromancer was certain to die, Joey jumped from the skylight. The young envoy approached the pit and looked at every crack, as if he didn't know whether the other party had turned into powder.

Uriel also discovered that the Necromancer's magic fluctuations disappeared. He knew that Joey could also feel the ripples of magic power, and couldn't help but wonder what the messenger was looking for.

"Soren, he's gone." Joey said.

The priest escaped? He's not dead?

Uriel couldn't help but get up. Where was the cunning necromancer?

"Potion ingredients detected. Also, it seems like he took something. 』

The apprentice quickly looked at the stone pillar, which turned into a slope full of cracks. Sure enough, the scroll of oath was missing!

"I thought you had it with you all the time?" 』The rune life was shocked by his fighting qualities. Would anyone lose his mysterious item in the battle?

Uriel wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. At that time, he hit a pillar and the parchment fell away! At that time, the Necromancer was about to kill him, and the apprentice was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he could not remember to pick up the ancient scroll.

"What's the use of that thing?"

"When I recite hymns to it, I can use magic...magic." The apprentice said frustratedly, "It can fulfill wishes and respond to people's oaths. The Necromancer is here to find it, my God, I actually lost it!”

Sauron didn't know how to comfort him. Now this guy had written a string of "..." on the ice, and Uriel thought it might be dying of laughter. But the apprentice was unable to respond to such a gloating reaction.

"Souls, potions, dead people." The messenger asked, "What did you think of?"

Wait, are you asking me?

Uriel subconsciously turned his head, thinking that Mr. Eze had woken up. But Druid was knocked unconscious and couldn't get up now.

"His fire is not right." Joey took a closer look, took off the ring and threw it on Ezz's face. A thin layer of frost covered the bar owner. The apprentice had no idea what this was doing until Sauron told him it would prevent the situation from getting worse.

The messenger turned and looked at Uriel: "I can see everything you say."

"What possibilities do you see?"

Uriel was stunned for a moment and answered carefully: "One was that Mr. Eez was attacked by a sneak attack, and the other was that I reminded him, but we were still killed by the Necromancer."

"This seems to be a future because the former is subsumed within the latter - I saw Mr Eads injured to be able to remind him."

Joey nodded, "Can you see where the Necromancer is?"

"H-Sorry, my magic power is exhausted."

The messenger didn't ask any more questions.

"He is the wizard of Gavash. He gave up his place of resurrection just to take the Scroll of Oath?" 』

Uriel suddenly remembered: "But I saw something in the previous possibility. The necromancer is not from Gavash, and his purpose is not to open the passage of Knox to the Kingdom of the Dead."

"What?" The apprentice felt a wave of Joey's magic power, and the young man was extremely shocked at this moment.

But even so, he only noticed a slight change in the other person's expression. "Yes, his purpose should only be the Scroll of Oath. The disaster in Yotsuba City was caused by the undead he controlled. Maybe he wanted to create chaos?"

"If he only wants the Scroll of Oath." The young man disagreed, "I won't care about Frostleaf Castle."

"You won't care?" Uriel suspected that he heard wrongly. What about Croita's agreed rules? "But the order for the Battle of Gavash——"

Sauron responded naturally: "Since the necromancer didn't create a place of resurrection and slaughter everywhere, who would think he came from Gavash?"

"If it's not the wizard of Gavash, we can't control it. Croita can't interfere in the internal affairs of the lord of the kingdom."

Is this okay? Is it really okay for the superior’s order to be so perfunctory? How much does the Sky Tower care about its own terrestrial country?

The apprentice finally understood why the queen sought asylum from other mysterious organizations. Anyone who encountered such an indifferent leader would probably rack his brains to find another way out.

"But he built a place of rebirth, making people think that he has the support of the entire Holy Land of the Undead." Joey felt that the Necromancer's plan was not just as simple as the scroll of oath, "This is asking for trouble."

"There are also alchemical potions" rings added.

"Potion... What is he doing by spreading the potion?" Uriel suddenly grasped the point, "He got the potion from Master Chester, and even the Holy Spirit Church started taking action because of the birth of the potion - —”

"Did you see the shadow behind him?" the young man reminded him.

The apprentice knew that Joey was referring to the gray-white shadow that allowed the Necromancer to increase his magic power and break free. If it weren't for it, Eze could have even taken down the opponent.

Of course, maybe the Necromancer is luring the enemy deeper.

"what is that?"

"Soul," Joey answered.

The soul burns and becomes fire.

Fire communicates magic and creates mystery.

The magic potion can ignite the fire - Uriel realized where that power came from, and he felt chilled to the bone:

"He...he is burning those souls and exchanging them for magic power?!"
