Since the tower formed a group and arrived at Iron Dragon Port first, Lord Mercury had no chance to arrange the battlefield. Uriel quickly confirmed that the main building of the dock was made of stone, cement and steel bars, and that it was located at a dock far away from residential buildings. This means that Lametta's magic will require fewer ingredients and consume more magic power than when searching for it in Six Finger Castle. But if it were him, it would be unwise to abandon this place based on these reasons alone.
The Nameless One thought so too. After seizing the core, the Society still used the unfavorable location as its base camp. It is precisely because of this that this place can now be said to be the place with the most steel and metal in Beacon Town - the broken body of the Black Heart is stored in the port by the wizards of the school. The "Black Heart" can be regarded as a trophy of the vampires, but it is obvious that Mercury Lord Lametta does not mind breaking the wreckage of this alliance warship into smaller pieces. The torrent of steel rolled in the docks of the port, and its sharp edges were enough to cut through the rocks and break apart the towers. But soon these wanton knives stopped.
The messenger's magic showed amazing changes with the addition of the confession. The magic expanded, compressed, and rotated continuously, and the mysteriously summoned wind and snow were also shattered. Uriel grabbed the nearest railing and caught the maid Nanna who was pushed off balance by the air current, but he could not stop everything in the factory that was not fixed from flying towards the corner. Even the messenger himself staggered and had to close the Gospel.
The witchcraft Lord Mercury used to hide was broken by "Snowy Call". She suddenly raised her voice and shouted a series of strange spells - she read them so fast and her voice was so sharp that Uriel didn't even hear the spell. Content. The witchcraft undoubtedly had an effect. The swirling airflow and various large and small objects crashed into a transparent witchcraft barrier in front of her eyes. It shattered like a battered mirror, but Lametta was already out of the corner.
Normally, there are strict rules on the syllables that cause magic spells, and they cannot be added or deleted at will. However, the caster can use tricks in the form of chanting the spell - raise the voice, emphasize certain pronunciations, or use a simplified version of the magic text. Replacing the original text is a very practical trick. It's just that these are topics that the wizards of the school have been pondering over. Although black magic may also require spells, their witchcraft has few restrictions and focuses more on the price paid to realize the mystery beyond one's own fire.
The witchcraft system of the Harp Witches emphasizes ancient sacrificial rituals for faith. This was the answer Uriel got when he asked Ms. Helen in his dream. The witchcraft she used to destroy the Tower of Wavesound Castle was a ritual magic that had gone through a lot of complicated preparations in advance.
There is essentially no distinction between different systems of witchcraft, because they are all manifestations of mystery. Demons have different abilities. Joey's magic and Confessional's power were blocked by a hasty hex, which either means Lametta used demonic magic or...
"High level of mystery." Although he escaped in a panic, Lord Mercury seemed to be full of excitement. She stood in front of a hole in the wall, and Uriel thought she might have planned to run away. Lord Mercury wears a feather mask on his face, a Bresse-style lace dress with a wide collar, a ribbon and a fluffy tie to tie the waist, and lady's jewelry on his forehead and hair. If the battlefield were a dining table, she would be a decorated cake mistakenly served at a barbecue feast.
Rameta, the mercury lord of the Silent School. Uriel met the demon lord for the first time, but they had clashed many times in the past. Her premeditation had always given the association the upper hand, but now it was always expected that the enemy plane would be Croita first. I'm afraid they don't understand why the messenger from the tower appeared in Tielong Port.
However, Lord Mercury did not show any surprise at the unexpected event. Perhaps she also took the astrology of the tower into consideration. The existence of the Red Prophecy remains a top secret to the mysterious beings outside of the Destiny Gathering, and the very existence of astrology can cause concern for others.
She seemed to have seen something from the previous blow. The cake lady gave up her plan to escape, and her eyes under the mask flashed with the fervor of impending revenge. "What did you leave behind in Six Fingers Castle?" Her long skirt fluttered in the sea breeze, and her voice trembled. Behind the dock and at the foot of the observation lighthouse, the Lord of the Flame Moon was manipulating the elements to rain down like fire. The Witch of Destiny used the "Dead Shadow" to fight, and lightning struck into the twisted crevices. The fire from the magic impact spread all the way to her feet. The woman was barefoot and had a scar on her bare calf.
Lametta noticed her apprentice's gaze. She lifted up her skirt and giggled to show him the traces of healing wounds. "This is what I left behind in that damn castle. Chloe's White Messenger, the Demon Hunter, you should have thrown away more at the Golden Bird River, what is it?"
She discovered, Uriel thought, that demonic fire makes us acutely aware of magic and mystery.
"Power." The messenger actually answered, "But only part of it. This time you either run away or die."
"Escape? Knox is not chaotic enough." Lord Mercury refused without any surprise.
Lametta absorbed alchemical raw materials from all over the place, melted and recast the metal, and held it in her hands. The magic spell crawled onto the skin of her shoulders and neck like spiders. Uriel felt the strange magic again, but could not retroactively sense her fire.
If I use "spiritual vision" in front of her, will she notice anything unusual about me? Uriel thought he knew the answer. When he used magic before, he never thought about the possibility of being discovered. This kind of induction is more like a mysterious addition... It is the ability of the Oath Scroll to identify lies. Now it has become a high ring. It allows me to see through the "lies" of demonic power. He remembered the Black Knight placing his sword on Gunther's shoulder and blessing the Button Worker. These two demon lords give people completely different feelings, but they also value the unknown and are full of hostility to the mysterious realm.
Uriel was pulled down by a tug, and the wire scraped his nose and hit the wall. It took him a few seconds to feel scared. The messenger loosened his collar and swung open another iron chain with his spear. The ice lost its mystery and was broken under the tremendous force. The apprentice immediately got rid of the impact of the mistake, and the golden sword intercepted the subsequent steel rope not far from the maid Nanna.
The messenger stirred up a storm again.
"Call of the Snow" rushed left and right in the drafty building, causing wanton destruction. This is not just ice crystals and snow flakes, but a part of the mystery that can exist in the world from the most dark and desolate place in Knox and in the harshest season of the Frost Moon. Uriel placed the sword of frost horizontally to resist the aftermath and prevent the mentor from accidentally injuring Ms. Helen's maid.
But Lord Mercury's response was beyond expectations. Instead of avoiding magic, she faced it head on. The wind and snow tore apart the witchcraft of the mirror and the layers of metal barriers, but the demon tried its best to squeeze out the magic power and control the alchemy raw materials more carefully and deeply. The strange mystery is like boiling water meeting ice.
Lametta's purpose is clear - the attack on the wizards of the school has not made the Silent School determined to invest troops in Eastman. They are worried that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tower will interfere with it. And once the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is weakened, the wizards will have free rein. Temptation is ahead of them, and even if they know that there is a demonic presence in the war, they will probably take the bait.
A large filament of silver light rushed into the wind and snow, and the messenger took a step back silently. Uriel expected him to fly up and avoid it, but as Lametta's magic power gradually increased, a strange look passed over the messenger's pale face, even bringing him a trace of life. The apprentice chopped down a puppet with a wave of his hand and began to feel that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Joey took a step forward despite the pressure. The blizzard around him expanded crazily under the infusion of magic power, roaring across the room. There was a creaking sound, and the upper half of the stairs was caught by the air current, flew out of the dock in a circle, and fell into the sea. Lametta's steel filaments trembled and twisted in the storm, their edges shattering into tiny shards.
She shouted loudly, the spell crawling on her cheeks, and the air seemed to become thinner with the mysterious arrival. But the messenger didn't retreat at all, and the increase in chill was simply daunting. Uriel understood that no matter what he said now, the messenger would insist on continuing the struggle to the end. This was not the situation he expected, but accidents are always inevitable. He could only watch in fear as the power of the blizzard was not unleashed and kept accumulating in this confrontation...
...A group of violent fireworks fell from the sky like a meteorite, suddenly crashing into the wind and snow.
Uriel's vision suddenly changed, and he realized that he was blown away by the air current like a fallen leaf. The explosion ended the tug of war, the blizzard collapsed, and the witchcraft and metal magic suddenly ceased. In the apprentice's perception, the huge sky mysteriously disappeared in an instant. Ms. Helen failed to stop Lord Flame Moon? Or was it just an accidental fallout? They may not be able to distract themselves from the battlefield here... Whatever the reason, Uriel must take countermeasures. He had already seen a tiny silver thread running through the flames and blizzard, approaching the messenger's body.
"Praise to Loneliness"
Before he could take out the charter, the White Envoy had skillfully created a hexagonal shield in front of him to block the mysterious aftermath that was coming back. Compared to Ms. Helen, Joey's fighting qualities even enabled him to survive a sudden disadvantage.
On the other side, Lametta flew out of the building irresistibly. She doesn't have the emergency response driven by the fighting instinct of the White Envoy, but she has the will of a warrior. The metal filament deflected on the solid ice, but it did not return in vain. The spikes ripped open the old thief's squirrel skin pocket, and the platform parts housing the alchemy core were scattered on the floor.
This small achievement showed her weakness. Uriel confirmed that Lord Mercury's condition was actually not much better, just like in a dream. Lametta fell into the Sea of Song. It's over, the apprentice thought. Before she climbed up, the messenger reached out to pick up the alchemy parts...
At this moment, Uriel saw the parts disintegrating into soft and fine silver threads in the air. They suddenly stretched straight—sharp, razor-sharp, slender metal spines. The instructor's movements paused, and he watched as the blood slid over the trembling end and slowly dripped onto the floor.
