Chapter 539: Magic Ritual
There is no easy task in the world, and if you want to ensure that there are no accidents in the magic ceremony, you rely on the ability of the magician who presides over the ceremony. So Ummah had to make sure that every step, even every mantra, was not wrong. Mirna, on the other hand, carefully watched the candles, the magic array, and the snow tiger's head outside the magic circle to prevent them from appearing in any unusual situation at some point.
Uma pulled out the cork of the alchemy potion and slowly sprinkled the potion on Snow Tiger's head. After that, he looked up and winked at Mirna. The latter raised her right hand as soon as she received Uma's command, but she didn't use any magic for the time being, she was just prepared. Uma wasn't worried about Mirna's abilities, he was now more worried about whether Snow Tiger's head would be effective with alchemy potions.
"Say something, Mirna. Uma stood in the center of the magic circle, maintaining the posture of infusing the magic power into the magic circle, and spoke to Mirna.
"Really, can't you complete the ritual with peace of mind?" Mirna sighed.
"You know, it's going to be boring. ”
Milna really wanted to kick Uma in the ass, well, at least a few words with him she could still do it. "What do you want to hear?"
"Let's talk about something funny, I'm bored right now. Uma was talking to Mirna, but he was still focused on performing the ritual. As I said before, he can't afford to make a mistake.
"Funny thing, let me think about it, is it funny for Frederick to jump up and scream at a bunch of hornets in the forest?" Mirna couldn't help but laugh.
Uma shook her head with a wry smile, "I see, you just like to see that little ghost's jokes." ”
Mirna lifted her chin slightly, revealing a look of course. "If that guy knew how to respect me, maybe I wouldn't have made fun of him. However, it looks like he won't be able to do that for the time being. ”
The Snow Tiger's head in the center of the magic array suddenly twitched strangely, if it was someone else here, they might have thought that the Snow Tiger would turn into a demon for the first time. However, this phenomenon is not optimistic for Uma, as there is a high chance that the ritual will fail if the ritual offerings become unstable. He weakened the mana injection into the magic circle a little, and then tried to figure out what was affecting the stability of the offerings.
When Uma looked up, he had the answer. The reason for this is the magic of Skarsa in the cave, the magic of the ice dragon and the magic of Uma have a certain conflict, and the effects of this conflict are shown on the head of the snow tiger, which is used as a ritual offering. Uma immediately raised her other hand and tried to unleash a web of magic above the magic circle to block Skassar's magic.
But apparently that it would be difficult to do so, so he shouted to Mirna. "Mirna, anti-magic bomb!"
"Are you crazy? an explosion at such a close distance would affect you!" Mirna looked at Uma in surprise.
"Not at me!" Uma raised her left hand and extended her index finger, pointing upwards at herself. "Towards here. ”
"Well, hopefully it won't affect you. Mirna wasn't completely sure, but she figured that Uma had figured out what was affecting the ritual, and that she had better do what he said for now.
The anti-magic bomb exploded in a dull explosion over Uma's head, instantly blocking the flow of all magic in that small area. Luckily, Uma was only slightly affected, but despite this, he felt a slight disconnect in the mana supply in his body. But that didn't bother him, and he immediately held up a wall of ice to catch the metal chips that fell after the explosion of the anti-magic bomb, preventing them from falling into the ritual's magic circle and affecting the ritual.
But when Uma drew his gaze back to Snow Tiger's head, something he didn't want to see happened. A small portion of the ice dragon's magic had invaded the magic array, making the offerings more unstable and the flame of the candle that kept the ritual intact flickering, so Uma almost subconsciously cried out, "Mirna, Stability Charm!"
As soon as Uma finished speaking, the stabilization charm that came out of Mirna's fingertips wrapped around the entire ritual magic array. "I guessed maybe that would happen, so I was ready for it. ”
"How's the situation with the magic array?" asked Uma anxiously.
"Don't worry, the Stability Charm can maintain an unstable magic array, just continue. Milna said.
"Thanks, Mirna. Uma wiped his sweat, and if he had failed, then he thought that the group of guys hiding in the cave were really going to die without a place to bury. He must not be careless in matters concerning human life, this is a point that he must do.
The magic ritual continued as it stabilized, and Snow Tiger's head gradually turned into a skull under the influence of the alchemical potion. An ice crystal symbol representing the ice element also appeared in the center of the magic circle, and it was at this time that Uma crossed her arms and chanted a series of hurried incantations. The spell wasn't long, but Uma had to make sure she wouldn't make a single mistake.
Mirna's vision was gradually covered by a cloud of frost, and instead of a dazzling white light, the magic array emitted a frosty condensation like substance. Then she felt the temperature around her drop sharply, which made her subconsciously wrap the magic robe draped over her body. Although the effect of the magic addition was still there, the cold was like countless ice needles piercing every bone in her body.
After reciting the incantation, Uma picked up the magic container placed at his feet as quickly as he could, and then sprinkled the magic factor in it into the magic circle. Immediately after this, he felt a feeling of vertigo, which made him barely stand on his feet. But he still stabilized his physical state, and he knew that it was a side effect of the magic factor.
When the substantial frost is infused with the Mana Factor, their presence becomes less apparent. The temperature is slowly rising, and the biting frost slowly becomes an illusion when visible to the naked eye. It didn't last long, but it felt like a long time had passed for Uma.
The final silence was only for a moment, and it also made Uma feel like waking up from a dream. He had a blank look on his face, his eyes looked at Mirna vacantly, and he squirmed his lips as he spoke. "I ...... I think it should be done. ”
"Yes, you did. Mirna walked over to Uma and reached out to wipe away the cold shards of mana that remained on Umma's cheeks.
"Mirna, I ......" Umma's eyes rekindled with emotion, and the expression was no longer dazed.
Mirna raised her index finger and pressed it to her lips. "Shh......h I'm going to give you a gift. With a mischievous smile, she slowly walked to Uma's side, and kept warning him not to move. The latter did so, and his mood became more and more nervous for some reason. Mirna doesn't like others to be mysterious, but she likes to keep herself mysterious.
"That's it. Milna stood on tiptoe slightly, letting her lips touch Uma's cheek. At that moment, Uma felt cold ice crystals and scorching flames appear inside her at the same time. After that, they seemed to be eager to get entangled together. But strangely, all that permeates every corner of Uma's body is a seemingly endless warmth......
