Rui stopped, even with the disguise of the Dark Wall Technique, she still didn't dare to force her way through the two rows of knights. "What are we going to do now? These knights don't look easy to deal with. ”

"Hmm......" Manfred stroked his beard, but didn't respond.

"You don't even know how to do hypnosis, do you?" Rui turned her head to glare at the Great Sage, thinking that the old man had already figured out how to deal with everything.

"I know how to hypnotize, but you see these six knights standing here like this, don't you doubt that the other party has already arranged an anti-magic enchantment? Since he knows that we are here, he will definitely take precautions, let me think about it again. Manfred simply sat cross-legged on the ground.

"You'd better hurry, I'm feeling tired again. "Rui's Dark Wall Technique has been going on for too long, and even if the Great Sage restores her mental strength, it still makes her very tired.

"Oops!" Manfred cried out suddenly, if it weren't for the Darkwall Technique to silence the sound, they must have been discovered. "We should have flown from outside the castle walls to the king's chambers, so why bother to find it?"

"You ......" Rui almost exploded. "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"I forgot, you see I'm so old. Manfred stood up in frustration and patted his ass. "But now that we're here, let's give it a try. ”

Rui looked at the great sage's slowly raised hands. "What to try, have you thought of a way?"

The Great Sage did not answer him, but chanted a spell in his mouth, and suddenly the torches on both sides were extinguished at the same time, and the originally bright aisle was suddenly plunged into darkness. The sound of the sword unsheathed sounded, and the knights did not shout out in panic, the knights who were qualified to guard the king's room must be one in a hundred, and they would not lose their composure in the face of any danger. But at this time, they missed the last chance to warn the others, and the six knights felt their surroundings suddenly become cold, even the air became clear, and the turbid smell in the walkway disappeared.

A few fires flew out of the Great Sage's hands, ready to hit the extinguished torches, and the aisle brightened again, to Rui's shock, the six knights who were still standing in front of him just now were gone, leaving only the empty corridor.

"Where did they go?What kind of magic did you use, could it be dark magic!?" Rui asked the Great Sage nervously.

Manfred slowly lowered his hands and exhaled softly. "Don't worry, they're all right, I just moved them out of the castle, oh no, I should say outside the castle, so that we have enough time to get the king done before they run back. ”

Rui frowned in confusion. "Why go to such great lengths to just use the Holy Spirit to summon you to stun you?"

"They all have anti-magic enchantments released on their bodies, and if they attack them directly, they will definitely be bounced back, and it will let the mage who cast the enchantment know that someone is attacking them, and the transfer magic just changes them and does not attack them, so it will not trigger the enchantment. Manfred said slowly, walking towards the dark green gate.

Rui stopped the dark wall technique, relaxed with relief, and the two of them emerged from the shadows and stood in front of the door.

"Are you ready? It could be a tough battle next, and I need your help, Rui, and if the other man's true body is here, I'm not sure if I can defeat him alone. Manfred looked up at the top of the door, which was almost as tall as three great sages, and the top of the door touched the ceiling.

Rui nodded nervously. "Couldn't have been better. ”

Manfred raised his right hand and pushed his palm slightly forward against the door, which slowly opened before his hand could touch it. Looking in from the outside, the room was pitch black, the fireplace was not lit, the moonlight shone through the windows, and a faint silver glow reflected on the ground.

Manfred hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on Ray's head and whispered in Ray's ear, "Cast a shield to protect yourself and follow me." ”

Rui felt a strange power from the hands of the great sage into her body, she didn't dare to slack off, the shield was quickly formed, in such a cold weather, there was no firewood in the room, and the window was open, she knew that something must be wrong. The Great Sage withdrew his hand and walked into the room vigilantly, Rui holding his wand in his right hand and following closely behind. When the two of them had just taken a few steps past the gate, a rustling sound sounded behind them, and the door closed itself. Rui didn't look back, trying her best to keep her composure, if it weren't for the great sage being here, she would have jumped up.

A gloomy voice came from the left side near the window, and although it was very different from what had been heard two days earlier, it was still audible that it was the king's voice. "You are really good at acting, even I was deceived by you, and it wasn't until you got close here that I realized that you had entered the castle. ”

Manfred didn't show much surprise, and the Grand Sage turned in the direction from which the voice came. "It seems that I still underestimated you, and I thought that the transfer technique would not trigger your enchantment. ”

"You really didn't trigger it, Manfred, how can this little trick of carving cause you trouble?" the king's voice felt like someone had choked him. "What exposes you is the Dark Wall Technique, as long as the shadow magic enters a certain range, I can clearly feel it, this familiar feeling, how intoxicating it is. ”

"Shadow magic!?" Manfred's voice suddenly raised, and his emotions became agitated. "Aloisius, it's you!"

"Hahahaha!" the king's eerie laughter was even more terrifying in the dark room. "You haven't forgotten me, Manfred. ”

Manfred calmed his emotions. "Speaking of shadow magic, how could I not think of you, Aloiseus, it seems that a great battle will not be avoided today. ”

"Do you think you can take Augusta from me? I serve the Lord of Darkness, and my power is beyond your reach. The figure of the king appeared in front of the window, and the moonlight shone behind him, casting shadows on the ground.

Manfred sneered. "Don't be obsessed, Aloiseus, the Lord of the Dark is just using you, how much do you think a mortal is worth to him?"

"Presumptuous!" a dark shockwave slammed into the shield, knocking Manfred and Ray back several yards. "I am a faithful servant of the Dark Lord, and when he comes, I will be the strongest human in Wallis, and Wallis will succumb to my power!"

"Wishful thinking!" Manfred exclaimed, the sound of loud incantations echoing through the room, chanting in a tone that was different from ordinary incantations, and Ray felt the tension and fear in his heart vanish.

Aloisius seemed to realize the danger, and hurriedly manipulated Augusta to raise his hands, a pair of black wings spread behind the king's strong body, and the king's body continued to emit black smoke outward.

"That's it, dark magic......" Rui recognized the magic that Aloiseus was working on. "I have to do something. She remembered what Manfred had told her at the door, and she knew she had to help the Great Sage. Rui channeled all her spiritual powers, the necklace around her neck also shimmered black, purple-black wings stretched out on either side of her shoulders, and black smoke came out of her eyes.

Aloisius noticed the change in Rui, and the king's movements were noticeably hesitant, but immediately the spell was cast and resumed, and the whole room was enveloped in a suffocating darkness, which was not the same as the darkness without light, but a breathless darkness, as if all hope had been lost, and the end had come.

Rui had already entered the shadow form, so he would not be affected by the other party's dark magic, but Manfred's chanting of the spell slowed down significantly, and his voice also lowered, and the shadow invaded his heart, and the great sage frowned in pain, fighting fiercely with the shadow in his heart. Rui still had some memories in her subconscious, she waved her wand and built a circular shadow shield around Manfred's body, the shield kept emitting a black aura towards the outside side, the face of the great sage in the shield soothed, and the spell sounded louder again.

"What!?" Aloisius apparently didn't expect Rui to be able to resist his shadow magic, and the king raised his hand towards Rui, an invisible force rushing towards her.

Rui's face was expressionless, her black eyes looked solemnly ahead, her wings flapped again, stretching to the fullest, and she raised her wand to resist the black power that was close at hand. Two invisible forces competed fiercely in the air, but the other party was another great sage after all, and after barely resisting for a while, Rui was obviously powerless and gradually fell below. Although she couldn't see anything between the two, the painful look on Rui's face explained the situation she was in now, and her upper body was also slightly tilted back, as if it had been suppressed by the powerful force of the other party.

At this moment, the sound of Manfred's spell beside him suddenly stopped, and immediately after, a dazzling light pierced through the black shield, illuminating the entire room. The golden light enveloped the king and Rui, who held his head in his hands and screamed in pain, falling to the ground and rolling on the ground. Rui fell to the ground weakly like a puppet with a broken string, unconscious.

"Manfred, I won't let you take him from the palm of my hand!" the king's gloomy voice became fierce, and he struggled to get to his feet on one knee as he clutched his head in pain.

Manfred pointed his wand at the king, who was kneeling on the ground, his long silver-white hair and beard fluttering. "Augusta, wake up from the shadows!Obey my call, follow the golden light, away from the darkness!Obey my call, Augusta!"

The golden light grew stronger again, and the whole room shone like a bright beacon at the top of the castle. The king fell again, and this time, he no longer had the strength to get up.

The king's feeble voice came from his lying body on the ground. "You've won this time, Manfred, but I'm not here, you've almost done your best, and you've barely saved Augusta with that helper, and I'm looking forward to another fight, a face-to-face fight, which will be even more interesting. ”

The king's body stopped struggling, the gloomy aura in the room disappeared completely, Manfred stopped casting spells, and the room returned to darkness. The great sage was exhausted and held on to the chair on the side, and sat down, the whole person fell deep into the chair, panting for breath.
