Some time ago.

"Randolph?" Leon, who returned to the prison "hall", saw that there was only one person guarding here, "Where is the old man Gebu?" ”

"The old man said that there was no change in the people outside, and that there might be some other conspiracy," replied Randolph, "and that he would walk around the prison." ”

Leon shook his head: "That's it." Randolph, you and the others go and negotiate with the outside first. I'll go find the old man. ”

But he didn't know it...... Ghobhat, whom he trusted, was already locked in a bitter battle.

------------------------

The girl sighed secretly in her heart. Old Gebu's tiredness only appeared for a moment before disappearing. His strategy did drain his physical strength, but this alone was not enough to defeat the famous Gebhardt. His chances of victory are still less than one percent.

"Mr. Gobhardt."

Old Ge Bu held his breath and didn't pay attention to the girl.

"I confess, as a warrior," the girl said calmly, "that you are stronger than I am. Therefore, I will stop at nothing to win. Forgive me, Mr. Gobhardt. ”

Old Ge Bu still didn't bother to pay attention to her. Anyway, this is just a ploy by the little girl to disturb people's hearts. Long prison life dulled your instincts? Whatever!

But in the next second, Old Ge Bu showed a surprised expression.

The girl's body suddenly disappeared.

Stealth?

It's some kind of secret instrument for manipulating light! Old Ge Bu instantly made a judgment. The Legend of the "Bright World" is able to exert the dual powers of "light" and "fire", and it is not surprising that she can master the secret rituals of light.

"Breaking the Firm", moved.

Since the opponent took the lead in launching the secret ritual to launch an offensive, then he should also use the secret instrument to deal with it. I thought that the girl was too young and the number of secret rituals she mastered might be very small, so she gave priority to using brute force to decide the winner, but now it seems that she is too light on the enemy.

Old Gebu didn't even have the distraction to judge the girl's position. The secret ritual of manipulating the elemental soil was activated, and the old warrior instantly used the earth element to build a "wall" to protect himself.

The fire elemental storm unleashed by the girl crashed into the earthy yellow wall summoned by Old Gebu. The flames dissipated, but the walls of earth trembled slightly.

In the Plane Prison, the concentration of the earth element far exceeds that of the fire element. Although the girl's flames were violent, there was nothing they could do in the face of Lao Gebu's impregnable defense.

Wings of Fire is the first of kind. The Unknown Secret Ritual of Defense is the second type. Manipulating light is the third. Summoning a firestorm is the fourth. There are only a maximum of six types of secret rituals that a Blue Sky level mystical ritual warrior can control. It is likely that the girl also has a secret ritual to heal her own injuries, that is, there should only be one hole card left that she has not yet lifted.

"Disintegrate." Old Gebu didn't want to waste extra energy to maintain the earthen wall that surrounded him. Nor is he like Leon, who can manipulate both elemental winds and elemental earth.

Dust fills the air.

"Where?"

At the same time that the girl in the invisible state stabbed out the "bright world", Lao Gebu noticed her traces. "Breaking Jian" and "Bright World" collided again, Lao Ge Bu took two steps back again, and the girl involuntarily retreated more than ten steps in a row to stabilize her body.

"Your strength has weakened, too, Mr. Gobhardt." The girl said.

"Lie," Old Gebu sneered, "that's all your strength? ”

Without waiting for the girl to react, old Ge Buru stepped forward. He knew that his strength had not weakened, and that it was the girl who no longer hid her strength. This little girl, want to fight psychological warfare with herself? It's not even close! If the ears are deaf, plug the ears. If you are blind, close your eyes. If your intuition gets dull, discard it. With the fighting instinct cultivated over the years, he fought with her in a dignified manner!

In the vast sand, the two secret warriors fought fiercely. In the face of the pressure of the old Gebu, the girl retreated step by step.

While!

In the face of the "broken strength" that was waved again, the girl had no choice but to open the umbrella of the "Bright World" to defend against this blow. She took a few more steps back, her vest pressed against the wall.

"Die!" Old Ge Bu roared, "Breaking Jian" attacked the girl's head-

"'Light Shadow Spirit'!" The girl who couldn't bear it anymore finally used the new secret ritual she had secretly practiced in the territory. She had only read about it in books and had never used it in front of anyone......

The girl's speed suddenly became faster. Her whole person emitted a pale golden light, although she was wearing heavy armor, but it was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and while dodging the inevitable blow of old Ge Bu, the whole person turned into an afterimage, and instantly flashed behind Lao Ge Bu, attacking the dead corner of his sight-

However......

A blow that exceeded the limit of ordinary people's reaction speed still did not bypass the impregnable defense of old Gebu. Old Ge Bu just turned sideways slightly, and with a ding, this blow stabbed Old Ge Bu's intact left hand, and then left a dent on his left hand, but it couldn't be pierced-

Secret ritual "Perseverance of the Earth". In a very short period of time, the body's defenses are extremely enhanced. The "perseverance of the earth" of the ordinary secret warrior hardens to the point of rock at most, but the "perseverance of the earth" of Lao Gebu surpasses the steel-

"Sure enough, it's the 'Shadow Spirit of Light,'" said Old Gebu, "and your secret rituals have finally been used." ”

Old Ge Bu has been on guard, and the girl took advantage of the sneak attack of the last secret ritual. At critical moments, take the lead in unleashing "Earth Fortitude" at all costs, and be able to completely defend against no matter what kind of attack the enemy uses.

As long as the opponent's tricks are fully exposed before their own, their victory is already doomed.

"Uh-huh......!"

In the face of Lao Gebu's hammer again, the girl resisted with the umbrella of the "Bright World" and jumped back again.

"Looks like you're the first to reach the limit, little girl." Old Ge Bu said coldly.

Looking at the old Ge Bu approaching step by step, the girl couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a secret warrior, the level of himself and Lao Ge Bu is really far away. This is a gap like a trench, and no amount of small tricks can make up for it.

"I won't give you another chance to use the 'Light Shadow Spirit'," Old Gebu held up "Breaking Strong", "No matter how fast you are, I will crush it with my self-created secret ritual." Now, take it, listen to the earth—"

“……？！”

The winner will be decided.

……

It was, a dark blade that suddenly shot out at the feet of old Gebu. Old Gebu, who was preoccupied with guarding the girl from a frontal attack, did not expect that the attack would flash coldly from the shadows under his feet. Two blades pierced the soles of his feet, and the other two, even though Old Gebu was already trying to dodge, stabbed into his forearms. If it weren't for the "perseverance of the soil" at the last moment, I was afraid that the left arm would be directly penetrated.

[Ah, I forgot, his right hand is a prosthetic.] Xiao Wei, who took over the body, said.

[Aim well!] 】

[Who made you make your body in tatters!] It would be nice to be able to cast spells! Vicky protested. In fact, the girl didn't have any major injuries on her body at this time, but she still gasped in pain for Xiaowei, who was temporarily controlling her body.

"Darkness."

Whew, and all the magic torches in the room went out. Old Gebu was plunged into endless darkness.

"Night vision. Breath-holding. Then, the Weakness Spell. Dark Spell. Forbidden ...... the Heart"

[Don't use up all spells in one go just because your opponent is terrible!] 】

[Got it.] Here's the finale. 】

"Poison Mist."

"Uh......" Even if Old Gebu has been in battle for a long time, he was stunned by this series of debilitating spells. He felt the strength running away from him, his feet already bloodied, but they were firmly bound by a few black ropes. He began to gasp heavily, but he brought something worse into his lungs.

"Poison ...... cough ......" Old Gebu coughed up a mouthful of blood. He swayed, bracing his body with his hammer. Ordinary people would have died long ago if they inhaled a mouthful of this poison, but Lao Ge Bu could barely hold on.

By the standards of the Secret Ritual Warriors, the number of Secret Rites used by the girl has long exceeded the upper limit.

"That's not right. No, Mystery. Profound...... Mage. ......"

[Also、I can still speak.] He, his lungs should have been burned by the poisonous mist. 】

[Try it with offensive spells.] 】

"Missile Storm."

"You really ...... Not! ”

Old Ge Bu desperately waved "Breaking Hard". But an endless rain of condensed elemental energy missiles came from all directions, and his body was instantly submerged......

……

The darkness and the poisonous fog were gone. The black rope that had wrapped around the old Gebu was gone. In case old Gebu still had the physical strength to use the "Perseverance of the Earth", Xiaowei cast two missile storms in a row before returning control of her body to the girl.

Old Gebu stood in place. He maintained the posture of supporting himself with "broken strength". The prison uniform on the upper half of the old man's body had been torn apart, revealing his bruised body.

Is he still alive......? 】

[No ......]

But the girl clearly knows-

[I'm not breathing anymore.] He's dead. 】

[Even if it's dead...... Still standing. There was a shock in Xiaowei's voice, [just like those ...... Legendary warriors. 】

Gebhardt's motionless body stood at the exit of the room. His skin was burned black, the "broken strength" of his right hand was placed on the ground, his left hand drooped, his eyes were slightly closed, and the whole person seemed very quiet, like an insurmountable mountain.
