In Arthur Liszt's cognitive system, [The Snake's Nest] can be called a quasi-forbidden spell because it has a devastating effect on the flesh and is extremely difficult to break if it is contaminated.

When the Lady of Secrecy folds the space and escapes, Arthur can almost be sure that she will be gnawed into a human skin skeleton by the golden-scaled snakes, and then die silently somewhere...... But sadly, things didn't go the way he imagined.

She just left for a while, then came back here.

Rose-red arrows of light pierced from the Lady of Concealment's palms and shot into Arthur's chest.

Arthur barely could resist before he was pierced through the chest, his body swelled slightly, and then exploded into countless small turquoise and purple snakes, and the snakes fled quickly in all directions.

The Lady of Secret raised her palm, and a rosy circle of light appeared above the snakes, which exploded and spread out, causing each little snake to become unusually sluggish, as if the ground under her feet had been pulled out.

The light bolt shoots at a small snake, and then the flight path turns around, stabbing at another small snake...... After more than ten refractions, a large area was immediately cleared out of the snake group, and the small snake carcasses that were broken into pieces could be seen everywhere.

One of the small snakes in the group of escaped snakes suddenly swelled, and its body twisted and deformed, revealing the appearance of Arthur.

It was a practical animal-based counter-magic [Body Disintegration], but it didn't help him escape any farther, and the Lady of Mystery had already crossed the circle of light to him, and her fingertips burst out with a rosy blade of light that stabbed coldly into his skull.

Before being cranialized, Arthur chanted a [Swamp Miasma] as fast as he could, and a cloud of yellow smoke erupted from his cuff and slammed into the Hidden Lady's face.

Immediately afterward, his head was split open by the rose light, his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a tender green branch bud flew out from the wound, which flew more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye, and quickly grew into a human shape in seconds.

On the other hand, the Lady of Secret, who had been hit by the miasma, pursued Arthur without stopping, her body flashing with a rosy light shield to keep the yellow miasma out.

As if intending to fight to the death, Arthur sang as he flew upside down, and on the ground he had just skimmed, a strange plant suddenly broke through the ground, its orange flower bones quickly bulged to the size of a hut, and then cracked a large jagged mouth, and the mouth was drooling with purple pus, swallowing the Lady of Secret into the "belly" in one gulp.

Plant-based high magic [Nepenthes serratus].

Arthur then quickly chanted an [ugly vine] and added it to the pitcher plant.

The moment she was swallowed, the Lady of Mystery put away her blade of light, increasing the number of folds of the space attached to the rose light to its peak, and replaced it with the lightsaber at the wrists of both arms.

The ugly plants didn't stop the Lady of Secrecy for long, and as the roses flickered, the pitcher plant's "cage" was torn apart, orange shards splattered with purple pus, and the thick scarred vines were easily cut into segments and fell limply to the ground.

The Lady of Mystery leaped out of the pig cage and vines, and a slender arm reached out to Arthur, who was more than ten meters away, and shot a rose light arrow from her palm, piercing the chest of the Poisonous Ring like lightning.

A large gash was torn open in Arthur's chest, revealing several pieces of internal organs and bones—his last counter-spell had been triggered and consumed as the blood flowed back and flesh reshaped in a matter of seconds.

Instead of using the aperture to traverse space, the Lady of Mystery chose to close the distance of the last ten meters by running and dashing, a length that was fleeting for a lithe Assassin.

Looking at the rapidly approaching Lady of Secret and the two flickering rosy lightsabers, Arthur Liszt's heart was enveloped by a great shadow of fear. As a supreme magus, he never thought that he would encounter a life-and-death dilemma in Ji Ling, nor did he think that his best poison would not be able to deal with his opponent cleanly as before.

"You pestering woman!"

He gritted his teeth in anger and chanted a high-level magic [Ragnar Cannibal Flower], a huge flower several people tall poked out in an instant, eight fat scarlet petals bloomed, and a closed mouth grew at the stamen.

At the sight of the Hidden Lady, the cannibal rolled up two petals in the shape of two tentacles, stabbing her limbs like lightning, and at the same time it opened its large round mouth, and a circle of spiky crooked teeth grew on the inside of its lips...... The most terrifying thing is that there are several layers of mouth in one of its mouths, and a long, soft red tongue coiled around the deepest ovule.

As if smelling a delicacy, the tongue bounced a hideous barb on the tongue and flew towards the body of the Hidden Lady, trying to wrap her around the waist.

Looking at this "amazing-looking" man-eating flower, the Hidden Lady raised her eyebrows and whispered sarcastically: "Haunting people? You overestimate your charisma. ”

A rosy thorn of light swirled across her visor, slicing the petals and tongue into pieces, and she swung her lightsaber on both wrists to cut off the roots of the Cannibal, then swept her twitching corpse over Arthur without looking back.

What awaited her were the last two spells of the Poison Ring: Arthur raised his hand, and a cloud of purple corrosive gas erupted from his sleeve, filling the Lady of Secret's sight.

Then, his five fingers stretched out, turning into five ferocious poisonous snakes, and under the cover of the poisonous mist, he opened his hideous mouth and tore away at the Hidden Lady.

Medium magic [Corrosive Mist], high magic [Arthur Liszt's Serpent Hand].

In the blink of an eye, the five venomous snakes turned into five severed fingers and fell to the ground, followed by a fingerless palm, then a bloody forearm, elbow, and half of the shoulder.

The Lady of Concealment stepped out of the purple mist, the rosy light shimmering a few times under the final corrosion, turning into petal-shaped spots of light that vanished.

"Don't be sad, aren't you very good at connecting severed limbs? This time, though, it might take a little more time to piece it together. ”

She put away her lightsaber and said with a slight sarcasm.

Arthur Liszt grabbed his throat with his left arm, a massive wound that tore his trachea and he fell to his knees in agony, breathing like a bellows.

From the appearance of the Lady of Concealment to the collapse of the Ring of Poison, the whole process was very short, and the Sage once again showed overwhelming strength.

Hill Manwenlin, who had been watching from the sidelines, clenched her longbow and prepared for a desperate battle - although she knew that her killer weapon had just been restrained by the Lady of Concealment, the situation was different from what she had just been, and the Lady of Concealment was a definite enemy.

But she had to admit that judging from the current situation, the lowly Athena and the seriously injured herself did not have much ability to resist, and the key to their survival should be on Nevenmor.

"The corrosive mist with its persistent effect seems to be able to quickly wear down her mask barriers."

Levi was quietly suspended in mid-air, and said in a low voice.

He didn't have to wait long for the Lady of Cryptology to deal with the Toxic Ring, and it looked like her next target was going to be her turn.

Just then, the Lady of Concealment turned and looked up at Levi.

"So, are you going to waste your time with a whole bunch of counter-magic?"

Levi replied calmly, "Don't worry, it will take some time for the tomb to completely collapse. ”

He paused and chuckled under his breath: "I'm a generous person, if you need a little time to heal, I can wait a while." ”

Obviously, even if the Lady of Concealment expelled the golden-scaled snake from her body, the devoured flesh would not be able to recover immediately.

Under the black veil, the Lady of Concealment stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked the little blood that had spilled from her lips, as if she was in no hurry to do anything.

"What do you call it?"

"Nevenmor."

Levi had to pronounce the name again.

The Lady of Secrecy walked slowly towards him, saying as she went, "This is the name of the devil. ”

"I don't want to deny that." Levi whispered, "Actually, I'm interested in the Temple of Nothingness. ”

"Your interest will cost you life, like the quietly vanished who have tried to pursue secrets that should not be known." The Lady of Secret's voice was as quiet as a whisper, "Maybe in Hell, you'll have more time to explore the nature of the world. ”

Hearing her words, Terella chuckled softly in Levi's ear.

"Hehe, it seems that she, like me, thinks you're better suited to be a necromancy."

Levi took a deep breath and said with a smile, "After talking nonsense for a long time, your refractive shield should almost be recharged, right?" ”

The Lady of Concealment narrowed her eyes slightly and replied, "That's right. ”

Her body re-lit up with a rosy shroud, and then she vanished in place. In the dark blue void behind Levi's, a dark pink circle of light suddenly lit up, and the Lady of Mystery emerged from the aperture, slashing down with her lightsabers in both arms.

The first to suffer was Levi's [Ripple Shield], which rippled on the surface of the water, and instantly bloomed, turning into countless sharp water arrows that stabbed in all directions.

Levi flew up quickly, escaping to the other side.

The Lady of Concealment's shield blocked the dense array of water arrows, and she raised her hand to flick an arrow of light that stabbed into Nevenmor's chest like lightning.

Surrounded by a large array of shields, Levi did not move any of his defensive magic, but instead resisted the blow with [Flesh Reshape].

Not far away, the Lady of Mystery vanished again, and then leaped out of the aura that suddenly appeared in front of Nevenmor, and the lightsaber was pointed directly at Levi's eyes.

Facing the Hidden Lady who was close at hand, Levi's left hand cast [Jet Air] on her, and his right hand hooked the [Ninefold Guardian] on the side, and his body flew out upside down in the opposite direction.

The jet didn't do much to the Lady of Concealment, and the Nine-Rock Shield was pierced by a lightsaber and exploded in a strange form of energy, the rubble shooting out like projectiles, only to be bounced off by the shimmering rosy glow.

The Lady of Concealment was about to throw a bolt of light in pursuit of Nevenmor, only to see a cherub holding a shield fly towards her side, slamming into the shield as if it were suicidal, bursting into a dazzling blazing light.

"These spells against magic have been altered! They don't simply collapse, they explode in various forms of energy......"

Archer's eyes widened as he looked at the two rapidly staggering figures in the distance.

"Neven Morr...... She's really good at tampering with spells. ”

Listening to Athena's muttering to herself, Ciel took a deep look at her and planted a seed of doubt in his heart.

In the burst of rose-red light, the Lady of Mystery broke through to Levi's closeness again, but her light was not effective in slowing Levi's speed, as he used storm magic to increase his mobility to the extreme, often avoiding the light at the edge of the aperture.

But the Lady of Secret's two lightsabers were still unstoppable weapons - she easily tore through the flashing [Lightning Shield], blocked the rampage with the Rose Light Shield, and stabbed the lightsaber into Nevenmor's skull.

Before his head could be pierced through the hole, Levi quickly finished chanting, reached out his hands, and unleashed [Corrosive Mist] and [Poisonous Swamp Miasma], respectively, and a cloud of yellow and purple mist spread out, engulfing the figure of the Hidden Lady.

That's exactly what the Ring of Poison used against her.

Levi himself turned into shards of glass, breaking through the air dozens of meters away in the form of [mirror escape].

To Levi's surprise, no sooner had he emerged from the mirror than a rose-colored glow bloomed in front of him—the light had stretched every inch of space around him so exaggerated and distorted that it would take him a long time to summon a shield.

The Lady of Concealment poked her arms out of the aperture, and the rosy lightsaber slashed neatly, slicing his body into four petals!

The last counter spell is triggered, and Levi dissolves into a cloud of melted snow and reappears as a snowflake ten meters away.

"I was able to capture where I appeared by following the light and shadow fluctuations of the mirror......," Levi said, "and it seems that I can't use [Mirror Escape] or [Fission Escape] in front of her." ”

It would take a while to cast another counter-spell spell, but apparently the Lady of Concealment wouldn't give him that chance.

"It's not a wise choice to imitate that viper's tricks." The Lady of Concealment said coldly.

Obviously, she also knew that poisonous mist-like magic could quickly erase the layers of her light mask, and when Neven Mor cast two clouds of poisonous smoke, she directly chose to enter the folding space to dodge, and took the opportunity to chase the light and shadow of the mirror world in front of him.

Seeing that Nevenmor had lost the protection of the three layers of counter-magic, she reached out and threw a bolt of light, and then entered the folding space again, instantly shuttling to the top of Nevenmor's head, and then jumping down from the aperture.

Wrapped in [Whirring Cloak], Levi flew vertically downward, facing the Hidden Lady in front of him, holding out ten fingers in turn.

The crystal clear [Crystal Shield] slammed into her lightsaber head-on, briefly blocking the lightsaber as it turned into a cloud of exploding ice crystals and stabbed against the rosy light shield.

This was followed by cheap [Triple Guardian] bombarding the mask in the form of rubble blocks.

Then a glossy mirror appeared between the two, and the [Funny Mirror] was shattered by a lightsaber as soon as it appeared, and the scattered mirror fragments pierced into the light mask and turned into a cloud of powder.

"Seven floors."

Levi said in a voice that only he could hear.

As if in response to him, the rosy mask around the Lady of Concealment vanished.

At any given moment, these jumbled self-detonation attacks are like a joke, and Lady Cryptic can easily dodge them without the need for a mask shield. But if she is to pursue Nevenmor, who is fleeing like a loach, she must break these stumbling blocks around him...... She seemed to be vaguely aware of Nevenmore's intentions.

And on the other hand, from the beginning of the battle to the present, except for the two plant-based poisonous mist magic, Neven Mor doesn't seem to have chanted or released any new spells-

At this point, Levi's chant ended.

More than a dozen thick turquoise vines burst out of the ground, half of them firmly wrapped around the Hidden Lady's legs, and the rest frantically whipped at her.

The Lady of Secrecy swung her twin swords to slash through the oncoming vines, but that was only the beginning, and before she could pull out of the vines, a rock gate covered with hideous spikes suddenly appeared in the air around her.

"You-"

She only had time to say a short note before she ushered in a hair-wrenching scene:

The dense rock gates surrounded the Lady of Secret, their spikes aimed at her, leaving no time to create suspense, and at the same time squeezed into the middle, one and two...... Until all fifty-six stone doors smashed together, a series of heavy muffled noises blasted and crushed the poor Hidden Lady in the airtight center, forming a terrifying sphere of rock.

Neven Mor floated in front of the massive stone ball, loose black cuffs hunting in the wind.

With a tooth-aching crunch, the stone ball in front of him continued to shrink, as if trying to squeeze the last inch of space inside.

In the distance of the street, after seeing the fate of the Hidden Lady, Archer couldn't help but glance at Silver Ji, Hill's face was very pale, I don't know if he was shocked by this bloody picture or if his skin color was like this.

Not long ago, Hill Manwenlin had been treated similarly to the Lady of Concealment - after being entangled in [Ugly Vines], a [Mousetrap] bit her to death......

It's just that compared to Hill, the Lady of Secret encountered dozens of spiked stone doors that were dismantled individually, and were constantly slapped and squeezed by more brutal means, and finally died in the center of the stone ball, I am afraid that even becoming minced meat is a more euphemistic imagination.

Archer couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

With a series of simple means, Nevenmore weaves a web that makes it difficult for the prey to break free from and is unaware, and when the prey is deep in it, it is mercilessly overwhelmed by the thunderous tactics that follow......

"You may be violent." After a moment of silence, Terrella said to Levi.

Before Levi could answer, the huge stone ball in front of him suddenly exploded.

Rubble flew everywhere, and a few rays of rose-red light emerged from the cracks in the rocks, and in an instant, the hidden lady protected by the light shield leaped out of the rubble with her arms waving, and she held out her palm to Levi in mid-air, and a bolt of light stabbed him in the chest with lightning speed.

The course of the attack was completed in an instant.

Blood splattered in the air, and this time, no counter-magic was triggered, and Levi's mouth spat out a large amount of blood, and he fell from mid-air and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The Lady of Secrecy descended from the sky, and she looked at Neven Mor who had fallen to the ground, her dark eyes glowing with mystical roses, and her eyes were as calm as a cold pool.

"I never said that the refractive shroud only has seven layers."

Her quiet voice was heard.

"And I'm sorry I didn't tell you yet...... I can expand or undo it at will. ”

All around her, the rose-red mask shimmered slightly, but it was still steady.

Levi supported the white slate with his hands, slowly propping up half of his body. He coughed up blood as he said, "It's a shame. ”

The placket of his chest was soaked with blood, and dark blood beads trickled down to the ground.

"With the secret, let's go to another world."

The Lady of Concealment whispered.

She lifted her fingertips, a flash of rose-red light revealing a cold glow.

At that moment, the Lady of Secret's eyes suddenly changed, as if someone had struck her head with a giant hammer, and she fell to her knees and let out a scream of pain.

A brown circle of light more than ten meters in diameter appeared around her body, and the lines of the aperture were composed of intricate elemental texts, encompassing Nevenmor along with her.

Levi supported his body with his left hand and sat up with great difficulty.

"I was going to ask you how many layers of folding space there are in the Refractive Shroud...... Ahem. He said slowly, coughing up another mouthful of blood, "But before this spell, the concept of space was basically meaningless. ”

While he was talking, the Lady Hidden could no longer bear the weight of her body, and the whole person was lying on the ground like a puppy, and it was difficult to even move her fingers.

"This is a forbidden ......curse," the Lady of Secret gritted her teeth, gasping hard.

Her face was pressed against the ground, and her eyes were staring at Nevanmor, a look of horror in her eyes.

"Didn't I introduce myself properly?" Nevenmor's deep voice came from under the black cloak, "You can call me ...... Archmage Nevan Morr. ”

Sage?

One from the past, one from the present, and one from the future...... Which of them is she?

The rosy mask could not resist the terrifying pressure, and countless thoughts flashed through the Lady of Secret's mind, but she could not think of an answer, nor could she carve out an aperture to escape the forbidden spell trap here.

The battle has developed to this point, and most of the direction is basically within Levi's control.

When fighting the Lady of Secret, the route he chose ended up within the range of the brown aperture, precisely because he had been preparing the forbidden spell as a last resort.

The Nature's Earth Forbidden Spell [Earth's Touch] causes enemies within the cast area to be oppressed by unimaginable gravity, with no effect on the caster.

As an Origin warrior who is not known for her physical strength, Lady Secret's body simply cannot withstand the pressure of this forbidden spell, and she cannot avoid gravity through the collapsed spatial barrier.

After analyzing [Eternal Resonance Worm], Levi has been trying to parse a forbidden spell that can form a kill, and the Natural, as his earliest practical theoretical branch, has become the first choice for [Earth's Caressing], which can ignore spatial barriers.

Looking at the Hidden Lady whose body was already on the verge of collapse, the corners of Levi's mouth curled slightly.

"She's really...... Sage. Archer stared at Nevenmor's figure and muttered.

Ciel nodded, still choosing to remain silent. Witnessing the battle between the Sages was also a rare experience for her, whether it was the strange abilities of the Lady of Concealment or the calculating and insidious methods of Nevenmor, she felt a deep chill in her form.

"Nevenmor......

The Lady of Secret clenched her fists, and she felt the bones in her body creak, and some of the fragile joints had even cracked, causing her to die of pain.

But she is by no means a person to be slaughtered.

Levi was about to try to stand up when he noticed something unusual. There was a faint fluctuation in the air, and the space around it suddenly stretched out under the twisted pull, then quickly shortened, and so on, and the frequency became faster and faster.

"Be careful!"

Terella's hurried voice was heard.

"She's trying to introduce the power of the void outside the Ji Ling into her body!"

There was a hint of surprise in Levi's eyes, and then his expression darkened. He looked out at the deformed streets, the pale, pale buildings around him becoming like abstract paintings in strange folds and pulls, and everything in the environment seemed eerie.

"How is that possible?" He muttered, "Even a Sage who combines the power of the void can't do this......"

"It's possible, unless she's going to give up her rank." Terella's tone wasn't quite sure.

Levi's heart beat violently, and he felt that the curve of space around him had become extremely manic and chaotic, and the visible sight was that large cracks began to appear in the houses and ground of the entire street, and they were cracking one by one, and where he could not see, there might be more streets being destroyed by the riot void.

The rosy light completely occupied the Hidden Lady's eyes, and the whole part of her body overflowed with sprinkling roses like a leaky pot, and these chaotic and disordered rays of light flickered wildly, refracted onto the mask, and then shot out in all directions with the rosy mask as a carrier—

Each ray of rosy light is like a blade of infinite length, slicing everything that sweeps through it, such as corpses lying on the ground and houses lining the streets, or survivors not far away!

Silver Gihir hugged Archer, and the two of them fell together on the flipped, sloping ground, narrowly dodging a burst of roselight.

There is no doubt that these uncontrolled rose-red rays will cause horrific damage.

"If you're lucky, you won't be chopped into pieces by the infinitely folded rose, but you'll be crushed to death by the chaotic Jiling."

Terella said weakly, but Levi still heard a hint of sarcasm.

The pale buildings lining the streets are in tatters, and the walls that were once straight are bent into comically rounded arcs that threaten to collapse at any moment. They began to roll into the middle of the street, and the solid houses rolled up like liquid waves, and Levi felt the dark blue void above his head shrink and narrow, and finally there was only a line left.

"Ahh

The Lady of Secrecy was still lying on the ground, and she let out a miserable cry, but with astonishing perseverance, she slowly and struggled to get up from the ground. Around her, within the range of the rose-red reticle, a small area of white stone floor tiles remained intact.

The square inch where she stood was like a pure land in a frenzied tsunami, but under the weight of the earth's caresses, Levi could even hear her bones snapping.

Without further hesitation, he quickly chanted a spell, and at the same time, his body suddenly became a blur, and in an instant, it turned into countless luminous particles, flickering and disappearing in place, and then appeared in the rosy light shield.

The space of the rosy light mask only accommodated one person, and he barely managed to get inside, inevitably entangled with the body of the Hidden Lady—

The wreckage of countless houses tumbled down from the sky, tumbling and submerging the place, a scene of destruction that resembled the end of the world, but also looked grotesque.
