Volume I, Chapter 62: An Unplanned Counterattack
I saw that the jade foot was a little in the air, and a red flame ignited out of thin air, and then the jade foot seemed to step on the flame ladder, kicked forward slightly, and a woman flew out of the portal.
The woman had a gorgeous face, her long fiery red hair was draped all the way to her waist, and the red dress on her body was of limited fabric, which only covered important parts, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
The side of the long skirt was split high, almost completely exposing her two long white jade legs to the air, and the perfect curve was like a work of art, which immediately made the blood of all the men present burst.
Behind the woman were clusters of crimson flames, which churned and changed, and finally turned into countless fire butterflies, flying up and down around the woman.
As soon as everyone saw the woman's appearance, she stepped forward slightly, and the figure suddenly disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of Mick.
"That's fast!" Mick's pupils shrank.
As early as when the woman appeared, he had already activated the Eye of Insight, and he clearly didn't see any magic fluctuations just now, which means that the woman came to him instantly, not with a magic similar to teleportation, but with her own speed.
Mick subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but before his body could react, the woman grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.
Mick held the woman's fingers with both hands, trying to struggle to get out of the predicament, but the woman's strength was beyond imagination, and the hand that pinched him was like an iron tong, unable to shake it at all.
It was as if a fire was burning on her hands, and a strange burning breath ran down her skin into Mick's body, flowing through her body in an instant.
All the power in Mick's body immediately froze, and he instantly lost control of Power Source One and the Insight Domain, and the effect of the Eye of Insight disappeared.
Mick was horrified, and a cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Seeing Mick's panicked appearance, a sneer hung on the corner of the woman's bright red lips: "I said, I want the first magic inscription!"
It was only a moment from the appearance of the woman to the time Mick was restrained, and everyone immediately let out a burst of exclamations when they saw this scene.
General Fritz's face changed, he let out a loud cry and bounced out of his chair. His fighting spirit suddenly burst out, and his ninth-level strength was unreserved, like a giant beast pounced on a woman.
"Hmph, I can't do it!" the woman snorted coldly, and a flame popped out of her backhand, and the flames turned into a large net in the air, accurately trapping Fritz in it.
Immediately afterward, the net of flames quickly tightened, turning into a crimson chain that burned with raging flames, and tied Fritz to the air.
The chain seemed to have the magic power to isolate everything, and immediately extinguished Fritz's strong fighting spirit, making him lose all resistance in an instant, like a flying insect falling into a spider's web.
At this time, more than a dozen portals lit up in the air of the press conference, and Master Thom hurried over with more than a dozen high-level magicians from the Wizards' Council.
As soon as Master Thom saw General Fritz's appearance, his pupils immediately shrank, and he exclaimed, "Twelfth level magic flame prison, you are the Flame Lady Kellysia!"
Hearing the words Celestia, the Flame Daughter, the press conference hall immediately fell silent, and a thick fear suddenly spread through the crowd.
The name Celestia, the Lady of Fire, is a thunderous name in all human nations.
She is a super powerful magister up to level fourteen, and she is only a thin line away from the legend. Originally, she was not famous for her strength that was not as legendary, but what was more famous than her strength was her cruel and crazy style of acting.
She could kill people and slaughter cities for any trivial reason, and the number of Holy Orders burned by her alone was no less than double digits, and there were even more powerful people and even civilians.
It is said that she killed an adult fire dragon more than ten years ago, and she is still being hunted by dragons to this day. But even so, it didn't make her restrain herself.
Even if it is a legendary powerhouse, it will be a headache to face such a guy who ignores everything, has no scruples, and does everything.
"Now that you know who I am, why don't you get out of here?" Kellysia didn't look at Master Tom, she snorted coldly, her red eyes flashed with a strange light, and she stared at Mick like a poisonous snake.
"Lord Kellysia" Thom said coldly, "Don't forget that this is the Ottoman Empire, Lord Storm Archmage Lawrenz, and Lord War Thunder Friedrich will never allow you to do whatever you want in Maltis!"
Kellysia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sneered: "Although those two old guys are legends, they won't be able to kill me for a while, as long as they can't kill me, I can make the whole of Maltis a dead city!"
Kellysia's vicious threat immediately caused the guests present to let out a burst of exclamations, and some of the timid ladies and ladies could not help but scream.
"What about the Church?" Master Thom snapped, "You can kill people and set fires under legendary powerhouses, but the Church will never allow you to make a big splash around the Holy City, do you want to be on the Night's Watch purification list?"
Hearing the church and the night watchman, Kellysia's indifferent face finally moved slightly, and she rarely did not answer immediately.
After a long time, she suddenly sneered: "I forgot about that group of sanctimonious scum, so since it is something that I can't get, others can't think of it!"
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and Mick inexplicably felt a murderous intent that made him creep.
"She's going to kill me, she's really going to kill me, she's not kidding!" Mick screamed in his heart, trembling violently and uncontrollably.
Hall of the Sages.
Just as Peggy was introducing the finale, a riot broke out in the venue.
First, the veteran alchemists and magicians left one after another, and then the big nobles, big businessmen, and gold medal reporters and editors-in-chief of major newspapers and magazines left in a hurry.
Less than three sentences later, the middle and low-ranking magicians, officials, and minor nobles also left.
In the end, the handful of ordinary people who had come to pay their respects to Master Frank were not left behind.
They walked in such a hurry that in order to get out of the venue a second earlier, the gentlemen even had a quarrel and pushing, and the sound of swearing was incessant, and they had no regard for the decency of Pecy and Master Frank.
The magnificent Hall of the Sages was empty and in shambles. This was in stark contrast to the unprecedented pomp and circumstance at the beginning of the launch.
Peggy remained in the position of introducing the work, standing in place as if it were a statue that had suddenly frozen.
In his heart, he felt that everything in front of him was like a dream, so illusory. His chaotic mind gradually realized a terrible thing, that is, the first press conference of his life was a complete failure.
"What will I be talking about tomorrow?, a joke I've never seen before?" Fear slowly pierced into his heart, making him afraid to open his eyes to the world again.
Peggy slowly lowered her stiff hand and closed her eyes tightly.
In the box, Frank stared blankly at the empty venue, his face gloomy and terrifying. In his decades of alchemy, he had never encountered such an embarrassing scene.
No, not embarrassment. Maybe such a scene is embarrassing to others, but he is the chief alchemist of Ottoman, the alchemy leader and legend here, such a scene is an absolute shame for him, even worse than slapping him in the face.
He was accustomed to standing in the clouds, overlooking the vast array of beings at this interface, and to using the gaze of the superior to despise all those who pursued him.
In the beginning, he did, as evidenced by his decades of being the chief alchemist of the Ottoman Empire.
However, under the continuous impact of the juniors, he became more and more powerless.
Especially when his research came to a standstill, the desire for status and the fear of loss led him to deviate from his original path and become an academic dictator who suppressed new ideas, the person he once hated and despised the most.
He was also deeply shocked when he learned the real reason for the audience's departure, and when he heard about Mick's three epoch-making works.
Along with this, there is also an inextricable fear and an irrepressible jealousy.
"Why not me?" Frank grabbed the coffee pot in his hand and smashed it to pieces: "In Ottoman, only I am qualified to lead the way, and only I have the ability to create a new era!"
He let out a low roar of rage, and then collapsed on the couch as if all his strength had been drained.
"Is a new era coming?" he muttered, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The sharp eyes become cloudy.
Anyone who sees his eyes will be very surprised, because the most important thing for alchemists is insight, and their eyes must be kept sharp at all times, so that they can see all the mysteries of this world and create new works.
"Am I really wrong?" Frank buried his face under his hands, painfully recalling the gains and losses of all these years. Perhaps only such a blow could sober him up a little from the intoxication of authority.
When he came to his senses, he was surprised to find that he had gone far on another road over the years, and there was no alchemy on that road, only conspiracy and power.
"Hey......" he let out a long sigh and said to himself, "I don't know if it's too late to turn back now......"
At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, and Lord Bach rushed in in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Teacher, it's not good. Kellysia, the Daughter of Flames, captures Mick and forces him to hand over the first magical inscription!"
"What?" Frank was stunned, the astonishing news instantly dispelled all the gloom in his heart, and those boring and weak reflections suddenly came to naught.
"You mean Kellysia?!"
"Yes, Teacher, Master Thom, they have rushed over, but I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to solve, after all, the other party is Kellysia!"
Frank's eyes sharpened again, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It's really an endless road...... Hahahaha"
Frank suddenly laughed wildly, and it looked like a demon from hell had descended on the earth.
"Teacher ......"
Frank's old face gradually became distorted, as if he had been under some spell, hideous and crazy, causing Bach to retreat in fear, until his back hit something, and then he realized that he had retreated to the door.
"Hylicia is moody and kills without blinking, and you go and provoke her to slaughter that hateful little reptile. Frank growled.
"But, teacher, this is too obvious, and we will be spurned by everyone. Bach said fearfully.
"We have no way back, Bach. Frank gradually withdrew his smile and said in a deep voice: "It's too late to turn back now, only by killing him, we will have a better future!"
