"--This is!"
The temperament of the female swordsman who was confronting him in front of him was undergoing a huge change. The originally sharp and ice-like feeling also became more tingling as the blood energy rose, and the increasingly tight pressure also became stronger. As the color of Xue Ling Huan Bing's long hair changed as she gradually straightened her waist and chest, she rushed towards Raval with her eyes filled with murderous intent: "You, you are...are you Emperor Frey? No, no! This is impossible!"
"I used to think this was impossible, but this is the fact." Amid the soaring blood energy, Snow Spirit Huan Bing, who stretched out her long sword, spoke again with a somewhat hollow echo in her voice: "The former Fu Emperor Lei has never truly died. She lives in my body. As long as I am willing, I can call her to appear and act on her behalf."
"Don't try to deceive me with such clumsy means! That empress is dead a long time ago!" Against the approaching blood energy that was constantly eroding his magic shield, Raval's hoarse voice could not help but contain a bit of trembling: " She died in front of everyone, everyone saw it! There is no way she is still alive!"
"That's because you don't know how powerful the power of blood is, and how many secrets are hidden in it." The Snow Spirit Huanbing, which was still approaching, no longer concealed its boiling blood-red aura, and raised the Luoyang sword. It also began to be stained with scarlet that was as eye-catching as the dark sun: "You also don't know how persistent this blood, which represents the power of revenge, can be."
The raised long sword slashed down in the vomiting of blood flames, easily tearing apart all the magic defenses gathered in front of Raval. The old magician, who was furious with his face, finally had to use the remaining magic energy on his own. Behind him, a mysterious traction force pulled him out from the wailing blood flames so close at hand: "——Wall of the Earth!"
"No matter how strong a magic wall is, as long as it is a magical creation, it cannot become an 'obstacle." "
The huge wall rising from the space where Raval retreated instantly collapsed under the slashing of the bloody sword, and the figure of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, which had turned into long red hair and was filled with murderous intent, was revealed again: "How? , think that the "Earth Wall" can delay a little time for you? As a councilor of the Magic Empire, it’s impossible that you don’t know this common sense about magic, right? "
"A little is enough!" Without answering the sarcasm of the woman in front of him, Raval kept holding the metal staff in his hand, and the gem on the staff also flashed a black light that was completely different from the magic elements in common sense: "Gravity attraction! "
"——Useless!" Immediately he discovered the change in magic power caused by the opponent's casting action. Xueling Huanbing dispelled the traction force surrounding himself with a backhand sword: "Even if it's gravity——"
The body that wanted to continue to approach suddenly tilted, and the body of Xueling Huanbing that continued to float forward also showed a bit of sluggishness. She looked back at the direction where the sluggish force appeared, and collected the other force that appeared there. A bunch of black energy came into his eyes: "...What is this?"
"Reverse gravity to form a hollow, and quickly empty all the surrounding air." The shaky body gradually became stable in front, and Raval's answer gradually came: "Not all gravity magic is used to pull the target. Not all winds require the use of wind magic, adventurer."
"Oh? You no longer think that I am Emperor Frey?" A glimmer of light flashed in his blood-filled eyes, and he swung his sword to cut off the snow spirit phantom ice in the gravity field and stabilized his figure again: "It seems You have regained some sense."
"I admit, at that moment just now, I did feel a little panicked. It's really embarrassing." Raval took a deep breath and then replied in a low voice: "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen such a strong one in a long time. The power of blood, so it feels like something went wrong. "
"It seems that you have indeed met the famous person who personally ruined the Magic Empire." Xueling Huanbing gently wiped his long sword: "If you are willing to cooperate with our actions and provide me with some information about Emperor Frey If you give me the information, I can promise to let you go."
"Let me go? You are not qualified to say this now." He said his answer in a deep voice. Raval, who placed the staff in front of him, cast his eyes behind Xueling Huanbing.
: "This is my territory, our territory."
"Even if magic can't deal with you, we still have others who can deal with you."
Without looking back at the opponent's gaze, Xue Ling Huan Bing could still feel that more and more people were appearing. They gathered in the weightless space at the other end of the spherical magic device, and then at a certain moment, they were stopped by a certain figure. They stopped together: "Okay! Come here everyone!"
"Very good! I'm very pleased to see so many people with lofty ideals willing to go out with me!" He held up his long sword in a leader's posture and turned his back to the young swordsman on the other side of the ball device. Tokiya was facing everyone else, attracting the attention of the Magic Empire players who came with him who had drifted behind the ball: "We are about to face a vicious enemy! It's Lian La This existence gives Master Wall a headache! Without indomitable determination and unity, it will be difficult for us to win!"
"Mr. Crab, what do we need to do?" I don't know if he was shocked by his call at this time. A player who followed him asked: "Do we need to make any more preparations? It seems like this We’re about to get there—”
"Because the war is about to begin, the final preparations are very important!" After stopping the opponent's words with a stern expression, the young swordsman continued with a stern face: "Although I very much want to believe that everyone is willing to follow the aspiring people who are coming. The soldiers are all the pillars of our magic empire, but if a bunch of loose sand rushes forward, we might be wiped out immediately and become the laughing stock of everyone!"
"You guys definitely don't want to be the laughing stock of the Magic Empire, right? You've seen enough jokes about Wings of Liberty!" After saying this, he raised his arms again and shouted, his clenched fists echoing in the air together with his plausive words. : "Devil Paradise even chose to betray because it looked down on our Magic Empire! And the 'betrayers' didn't even get the punishment they deserved! This is simply unheard of! "
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense." A magician player in the crowd immediately became upset and looked like a member of Wings of Freedom: "Those two-faced guys in Devil's Paradise will betray, This was something we had expected, and we had already made a plan for 'punishment'. Don't try to accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air. "
"Oh? Then tell me, how do Wings of Freedom plan to punish Devil's Paradise? Kill that Mephisto by blocking the spring water thirty or forty times? Or go kill them in the principality they fled to, and let them see what we have done? Awesome?" The young swordsman facing the crowd lowered his arms, his eyes full of disdain and contempt: "Are you going to take the artifacts that those people kept here as your own and give them away?" Let the things that come show off in front of them, right? Don’t you think you’re embarrassed enough? "
"You, what did you say?" The player's face turned red as expected, and it seemed that he had been hit by the young swordsman's words: "How do you know - No, not everyone wants to confiscate the collateral they deposited here. Do you know the truth? Otherwise, what else can you do?"
"How about it? Of course, teach them a positive lesson!"
Holding a fist in front of him, the young swordsman named Crab Soup Bun clenched his teeth angrily: "We are the Magic Empire! We should be more powerful than that Frey Empire! Have you ever heard of anyone bullying you? Who killed the Frey Empire and ended up with a good ending? Of course we should do the same!"
"We should arm ourselves with swords and shields! Prove our strength with blood and fire! Use the corpses and flesh of our enemies to pay for the crimes they committed!" The young swordsman who said this waved his arms and looked at He went up like a speaker who had already entered the state: "Right away! Now! You have a chance to prove this! Use the blood of those invaders who dare to ride on our heads to prove our strength and inviolability!"
"Um...Mr. Crab, we already understand what you mean." Another player gathered here then smiled dryly and raised his hand: "But isn't Master Raval still waiting for us? Again If you continue to waste time——"
"Stupid! How stupid!" The anger seemed to rise a few percent more, and the tone of the young swordsman's interruption also rose a few degrees: "It's because of Raval
The master is waiting for us, I’m just here to wander around... ahem, I’m just here to teach you a lesson! Because in this rescue operation, we can only succeed and not fail! "
"You! The one called 'Grumpy Bear'!" Which section—oh no, which guild—are you in? You were the one looking around the most just now! For a while, you can stand in the front row for me and use your fat body as a human shield! "
"That 'Sophora Ghost Wood' guy over there!" Is that what you questioned me just now? You follow him for a while, and the two of you are responsible for attracting the firepower of the guy called Lin... Lin, what's the matter, what's the end! "
"You, you, and you! You three magicians form a team and follow behind! And then you! The weapon is a magic book? Are you a professional healer? You follow the three of them!"
"The rest of the people are all scattered left and right! You shouldn't need me to divide them after you disperse, right? Hey, forget it, look at the stupid looks on your faces, I'd better divide them for you one by one... Remotely go back Stand! Come forward in melee combat! Those two shield bearers, one on the left and one on the right. Remember to stand on a horizontal line with the grumpy bear. Don't be too far forward or too far back..."
The feeling of anxiety gradually disappeared in the chattering words one after another. The players then looked at the young swordsmen in front of them and began to arrange their formations like skilled battlefield commanders. His serious attitude and incomparable proficiency His commanding style also made them temporarily forget the sense of disharmony in their hearts, and let time pass by as they performed pre-war formations like puppets on strings.
*******************************
"In other words, you have defeated two 'onee-sama' here before?" "
After a brief exchange, Duan Qing learned from Freya's mouth the general story of how she fought here. He continued to patrol the surrounding layer of ice mist that had not dispersed, as if he wanted to find out what he wanted. Clue: "Will there be a third one next?"
"I don't know." Freya, who was also on guard, replied subconsciously: "It should be possible."
"This layer of extremely cold frost most likely represents the existence of 'her'. ” Carefully feeling the flow of energy passing through the gaps between his fingertips, Duan Qing closed his eyes: “But since Ms. Freya herself has confirmed it, it’s probably not wrong.”
"That's not her." Freya's answer was as concise as ever, accompanied by her serious expression as she tried to recover her magic power while still looking at Violet: "Your Highness, Lord of Violet, what do you think? "
"Before I tell you my theory, I want to hear your conclusion first."
Without answering the question immediately, Violet, who was dressed in white, also showed a playful smile: "Since you think the Christine in front of you is definitely not you, what do you think she is?"
"If it's just an illusion, she shouldn't have the strength to compete with sister...Christine herself." Freya still looked back at the beautiful face with black hair seriously: "In addition, before you What you said——Do you think it’s my problem?”
"First of all, the conclusion that can reassure you is: the real Christine should still be in the Void Library." Nodding as a response, Violet then raised her head and looked around the ice mist: " Shana and I have never stopped caring for and studying her during this period, even though she may have been tortured and driven by the Magic Empire, becoming their puppet, covered with scars from continuous battles, she is in the void The dormant 'body' in the library should have already recovered. "
"Yes, I think it's just a body." The girl in white smiled at Freya and repeated a word from what she just said: "She lacks a soul, so she has been unable to wake up."
"..."
After falling into silence for a period of time, Freya's appearance became as cold as the surrounding ice fog: "Where is her soul...?"
"Originally, I thought that letting you stay with her would have a little bit of a 'retrieval' effect, but now it seems... I can't
Determine where she is. Violet replied calmly: "But we can look for this answer from another angle: What can the trapped soul of a great magician be used for?"
"..."
"The Magic Empire has endless methods. Perhaps it is for this reason that they have never been anxious because they lost control of Christine."
Facing Freya's silence again, Violet shook her head and continued: "Regardless of the methods we don't know, there is at least one method we know."
"That's the Emerald Tower."
