Adeline glanced at Ness, who was lying on the ground, lifeless, and sighed unwillingly. "I didn't expect it to come to this point today, and there is no point in continuing any longer. With that, she closed her eyes and began to chant the incantation in her mouth.

Elonhan stared at Fern and Stan warily as they slowly retreated to Adeline's side, and their figures began to become transparent. "I'll leave the Sacred Seals to the Mage Tower for the time being, but Moses, even you can't guarantee that the Mage Tower won't abuse them, and maybe you'll regret not giving them to me in the future. ”

"Don't run!" Fern rushed forward in a few steps, raising his sword and slashing at Adeline, the sword slashing through her already translucent body without any resistance.

"Mercenary, don't be so anxious, we'll meet again in the future, I promise. The corners of Adeline's mouth curled slightly, and the figures of the Great Sage and the Guardian disappeared completely.

Fern continued to slash into the empty air until he ran out of strength and fell to his knees. Ness...... I'm sorry. ”

The whirlwind behind him gradually subsided, and the tired voice of Moses was heard. "Fern, you don't have to be so sad, you have all forgotten one thing, but Hussey has not, and he has asked Queai to tell me. “

"What's the matter?" Fern didn't even stand up, knelt on the ground and quickly turned to look at Moses.

Moses chuckled smugly. "As I said before, our three archmages have been preparing to deal with Adeline for a long time, and one of our archmages has a very deep relationship with Ness, and he sensed in advance that Ness was going to be mortally threatened, but he couldn't leave the mage tower because of some other arrangements, so he had to ask Hessey to cast a life ring on Ness. ”

Speaking of this, Rui's eyes rekindled a light of hope, and Queai on the side snorted unconsciously. Moses smiled and touched her head. "Don't be angry, kid, Fabioso promised Hessey that he would also impose a Circle of Life on you. ”

"Circle of Life, what's the use of that?" Fern stood up, walked quickly over to Ness, who was lying on the ground, and bent down to take her in his arms.

"It can seal the last part of a person's life in a circular enchantment when he is about to die, and this enchantment will hide in his body until it is awakened, thus releasing the last bit of life that is preserved inside. Moses placed the palm of his right hand on Ness's forehead, and the old mage's brow gradually relaxed. "That's it, Hessey once told me how to awaken this barrier, and now I can feel it. I have to admit that Hesey was the most gifted mage of the last fifty years, and he even had the prospect of becoming a great sage, but he said he was not interested, he liked to burrow into his pile of tattered books. ”

"He's the kind of guy he is, I know that best. Quiai pouted, as if still angry at Hussey for casting the Ring of Life on Nessy.

"That's why you're a student who doesn't play cards according to common sense. Moses smiled slightly, and his hands began to glow with gold. "The Circle of Life should be the ultimate in enchantment magic, and the enchantment is directly distributed into the human body, even Fabioso, it was only learned under Hessey's repeated explanations and corrections, and I have not tried to learn it. ”

"But Master, I'm sure you'll be able to learn it too. His most beloved mentor was right in front of him, and Rui, who had not spoken, couldn't help it anymore.

Moses looked up at his disciple with pity. "Rui, I only had a few words with you for a short time last time as a teacher, and we have a lot of time today, and when I finish dealing with this matter, we will have a good talk. ”

"Hmm!" Rui nodded vigorously.

The glow from Moses' right hand lasted for a minute, and Ray and Quiai seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, though Fern and Stan didn't hear any sound. Then a golden aura burst out of Ness's forehead and spread out in all directions, forming a ring that grew larger and larger until it crashed into the cave wall and disappeared in the collision.

Moses withdrew his hand and exhaled with difficulty, the beard on his chin shaking. "It's done, she should wake up shortly after, and then, all she needs is rest. ”

Fern's trembling right hand was placed under Niss's nose, and the faint aura that appeared again made the mercenary ecstatic, and he hugged Niss tightly. A noticeable twitch flashed across Quiai's face, and she quickly turned her head away, not wanting to look again.

"Little, Fern, Ness, she's too weak to stand up to your push. Moses squinted at Fern and sat down on the ground. "I'm breaking up my old bones today, and I need a good rest. ”

Rui crouched down in front of Moses, his hands on his master's temples, and the tightening of his skin made Rui feel distressed.

Moses didn't refuse, closing his eyes and letting Rui help him regain his mental strength.

"Master, judging from the situation just now, the Great Sage is not invincible, and she also flinched in front of the three of us. "Ray was incredulous that he could knock Adeline back.

"No, Rui, you underestimated the strength of the Great Sage, she never showed thirty percent of her true strength. She will retreat for two reasons. Moses' voice seemed a little more energetic than it had just been. "First of all, her evil magic has been completely sealed by Queai's elemental barrier, so she can only use light magic or elemental magic against us, as far as I know, Adeline is best at light magic, and elemental magic is just the right thing to restrain light magic, but even if the elementals are on our side because of Ness's relationship, we are still no match for her. ”

"What? Is the Great Sage so strong? even the elementals can't defeat her?" Rui asked, casting his magic.

"There are only five Great Sages in the entire Wallis, and there are no less than fifty Archmages like me, how can you defeat her with just the three of us. Moses sighed, as if he was also troubled by his own powerlessness. "The second reason, and the key to her retreat, is because she thinks that Ness is dead, so there is no need for her to stay here if no one can synthesize three holy seals in this cave. If at first she wanted to kill you because you ruined her plan, but then after Quiai and I appeared, she found that although she could still kill us all, she couldn't get out of it all, and she would definitely lose a lot of mental energy, and there was a high chance that she would lose her guards, so she didn't think it was necessary at all. ”

"So she retreated?or, let us go?" Stan licked his lips and summed up what Moses had said.

"That's right, so to speak, she let us go. Moses shook his head helplessly. "Magic does require talent, and some people will never become great sages. ”

Rui finished his treatment and watched as Moses slowly opened his eyes. "Master, in my heart, you are a hundred times stronger than the Great Sage. ”

Moses touched his disciple's head and laughed.
