Chapter 107: Turnaround
Ness felt her life fading away, and slowly flowed through her hands towards the mercenary. "Great, Fern, you're going to wake up, I promise. ”
In the passage connecting the outside of the cave, two figures quickly ran into the cave filled with divine light, and one of them even flew into the cave, looking at everything in the cave in shock.
"It's ...... Bright! With the help of the healing of the elemental power, the magic that can save the dying is said to be able to save the dying!" Quiai made a blackout gesture between his eyebrows with his left hand, and looked at the shining light in disbelief.
"Yes, Elemental Oath, Ness, she has finally comprehended the highest level of elemental magic. The old voice replied to Quiai.
No one noticed them until the golden light began to fade and shrink. Eventually, the light vanished, and in the center of the original glow, Niss lay on the mercenary's chest with a faint smile on her face.
"Ness, are you alright?" Ray stepped forward and patted Ness, but there was no response.
Stan nervously reaches under Ness's nose and retracts it for several seconds, shaking his head with a stern face.
At this moment, there was a heavy snort of the mercenary, and Fern slowly opened his eyes, looking at everything in front of him in confusion. "......What? Why is it still alive. ”
Rui wept, unable to answer Fern's words, and she gently lifted Ness from the mercenary and held her in her arms.
"I distinctly remember that my heart was pierced, the pain filled my whole body, and I knew I was going to die. But...... Why ......" Fern struggled to sit up, touching his chest and blood-stained clothes, and then he found Niss lying in Ray's arms. Ness...... What's wrong with her?" Fern's inquiring tone trembled, praying that his guess wouldn't be true.
Rui pressed his mouth tightly to Ness's hair, tears lingering in his eyes, and without answering him, Fern turned to the knight, "Tell me! Ness, what's wrong with him!" Stan turned his head away, unable to speak.
"Nyss, answer me, Nice!" Fern shouted as he snatched the girl from Ray's arms, a wrinkled but broad hand placed on top of his head.
A soft glow shrouded the mercenary's forehead. "Fern, you see, if you will give up your life for Ness, she will also give up her life to save you. The old voice radiated pity.
Rui looked up sharply, the voice she knew all too well. "Moses, it's really you, why are you here?"
Moses looked at Ray and shook his head, and the mage didn't ask any more questions, but gently put Niss into Fern's arms.
Under Moses' spell, Fern was no longer excited, and he hugged Niss sadly, who was no longer breathing, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Ness, why are you so stupid, although you saved me like this, but it made me more uncomfortable than death, I can't imagine that I will have the courage to continue living in the future. ”
Rui wiped away her tears and punched Fern in the face. "You idiot, did Ness sacrifice her life to save you, just to make you cry cowardly here?"
Fern trembled and gently laid Ness flat on the ground, and stood up to face Adeline standing in front of the chair, his eyes burning with rage. "I don't care if you're a great sage or not, or if you're so strong that we can't defeat you together, but today, we'll do our best to get you down here. ”
Adeline raised an eyebrow in disdain. "Very well, Ness is dead, you have made my original plan impossible to realize, my mercy to you has reached the limit, I will let you all die here without your intervention. ”
Elonhan walked silently in front of everyone and stood in front of the great sage.
Moses turned his head to Quai and nodded, then looked at the Great Sage. "Adeline, although you are a great sage, it is not so easy to deal with three mages at the same time, and there is one of them who is much older than you. We still have two warriors, and you only have one escort. ”
Adeline snorted, her right hand unconsciously stroking the ring ring on her left hand. "If all battles can be won or lost by numbers, then there is no need to fight. ”
"Then let's try it. Moses' mouth was covered by a thick white beard, and he could not even speak with his mouth open or closed.
As soon as the words fell, Quiai quickly drew a five-pointed star on the ground with the magic dust that was already in his hand, the size of the circle was just enough to encircle the mage's whole person, and then Quiai squatted down, pressed his right hand the center of the five-pointed star, and recited the last part of the complex and lengthy incantation in his mouth, and she had already begun to recite the whole incantation when Moses sent her the code. The entire circle began to glow blue, and every speck of magical dust shone brightly, illuminating Quiai's face.
"It's ......," Adeline gave a rare look of surprise. "Elemental Enchantment!" the Great Sage raised his hands and began casting spells as well, trying to break the enchantment.
"Don't waste your efforts, Adeline, if you knew who this mage was taught by, you wouldn't have tried to break this barrier, and even you wouldn't have been able to break the barrier laid by the archmage who had been studying the magic of the barrier for thirty years. Moses' tone was flat, and his right hand slowly swung out, and several air currents flew towards the nearby guards.
The guards were instantly imprisoned, unable to move at all, just like Nessy and the others had been imprisoned by Adeline before. But Elonhan didn't lose his composure, nor did he ask Adeline for help, just staring at the enemy in front of him.
"Good, but don't forget, evil magic is far more powerful than your elementals. With that, a green glow flashed in Adeline's hand, summoning something unknown from another world. But suddenly, the Great Sage's eyes widened, and the movements in his hands stopped. "This enchantment...... It cut me off from the otherworld. ”
Moses laughed, stroking his beard a little smugly. "This enchantment has been improved by the Mage Tower's archmage who is the most authoritative in enchantment magic, and the purpose is to deal with your evil magic, so to speak, we have made the most adequate preparations for today's battle, which embodies the wisdom and energy of the three archmages. ”
"You mean Hussey? I really shouldn't have let him speak, but it so happened that he was guarding Doyle's tower. Adeline lowered her hands and regained her composure. "However, you still won't get the third seal, and Ness is dead, and the Mage Tower doesn't want to get the synthesized wand. ”
"Do you mean that?" Quiai stood up as he finished his enchantment magic and lifted his cloak on the left side of his body, revealing a dark red satin bag the color of Adeline's mage robes.
"How did you get it?" Adeline's eyes flashed with shock, which was almost the biggest reaction for her. "While my enchantment can't surpass Hessey, it won't be broken by other mages. ”
Quiai triumphantly lowered his cloak and covered the pouch. "As Moses said earlier, Hesse is my mentor, and he has already told me all the types of enchantments you might cast and how to crack them, and I just need to try them out according to his instructions. ”
"Okay. Adeline regained her composure, and nothing seemed to keep her surprised for long. "So what? Can you find a second person to synthesize the Seal? If I can't get it, you can't think of it. ”
"We have our own way, but not now. Moses raised his hands and waved them above his head. "The elementals have returned, responding to the call of the elementals, and even you, Adeline, should know that you cannot completely defeat one. The old mage's long silver hair and chest-length beard fluttered, and a whirlwind blew around his body. Quay and Rui can see the representative colors of various elements in the whirlwind, including the red of the fire element, the blue of the water element, the gray of the stone element, and the green of the wind element. All of these powers were accumulating and getting stronger, and the two young mages could not imagine how Moses could harness such a powerful force.
"Do you want to attack me, Moses, how dare you attack the Great Sage?" Adeline's tone was angry, and she simply stretched out her right hand and cast a barrier in front of her.
Moses directed all the elements towards Adeline, first with a red beam, then gray, then green, and finally blue. When all the attacks were over, Moses stopped casting, and the old hands trembled.
"Hmph, are you all there is to it, Moses, are you aware of the disparity in strength between you and the Great Sage now?" Adeline looked at the old mage with disdain. However, before she finished speaking, Adeline noticed that a crack appeared in the barrier in front of her eyes, and the gap grew larger and larger, spreading out in an irregular pattern, and the whole barrier was broken.
Old Moses' voice trembled, too. "Of course I can't hurt you with my strength, but these elements have been awakened by the Elemental Messengers, they can feel the death of the Elemental Messengers and our wrath, and they can make our magic stronger. ”
With a slight wave of Adeline's left hand, the restraint on the guard disappeared, and Elonhan raised his sword and made eye contact with the mercenaries and knights. The fury in the eyes of the mercenaries and knights made even the guards feel the pressure, and instead of attacking, he set up a defensive posture and waited for the two to attack. One-on-one is one thing, one-on-two is completely different, and the guard was also injured, and it was one of the two in front of him who caused these injuries. Elonhan correctly judged the situation and made him dare not attack rashly.
Moses began to cast spells again, and Quiai silently chanted the incantation, her cloak fluttering with the elemental wind that surrounded her. Rui's purple-black wings stretched out from her back, black aura emanated from her shoulders, the necklace around her neck shone with black light, and her clothes could no longer hide the light from the black gem. A whirlwind that was stronger than before swirled around the three mages, and this time, the four-colored elemental wind mixed with black and turned into five colors, and in the rapidly spinning wind, the long hair of the three mages floated upward.
