"Where are you from?"

Behind Levi, more than a dozen dark-skinned men and women asked in unison.

Levi's silver hair fluttered slightly, and he turned around, his gaze swept over the strange group of Ozers, and he didn't say a word, but raised his hand and chanted in a fast and fluent voice—

Dense [Queen's Spear] appeared in the air in front of him, and then stabbed out in unison, nailing all the Ozer people in the opera house to the seats and walls in a brutal scene.

With that, a gust of wind swept behind Levi's, and his figure scurried towards the top of the arc, and in the blink of an eye he flew out of the dark opera house into the sunny mid-air.

Terella ...... Not here, where did she go? Dragonheart and Terella's bodies weren't in the coffin either, what happened?

Looking at the Black City in front of him, Levi remembered Saladin's "surprise", but he didn't dare to rule out other possibilities.

He furrowed his eyebrows, urging the Whirring Cloak to fly high in the air, looking for Terella's tracks. According to Terella, although she has little actual combat power, she is not easily killed and has enough self-preservation ability.

Suddenly, Levi's figure stopped, and he reached out to some of the devastated streets, and a black cloak flew from the ground and landed in his hand.

There was a thumb-thin hole near the placket of the black cloak - the same garment he had given to Terella to play Nevemor, and since it was left here, Nevenmor had been attacked.

Levi was silent for a moment, then draped his black cloak over himself. As his face returned to the shadows, he felt that his whole body had become comfortable and natural, and he didn't have to continue to swagger through the market with the cold little face of Silver Ji.

His gaze swept a few blocks away, and with a raised eyebrow, he happened to spot two familiar figures—

Hill Manwenlin and Archer Blaze.

Hill didn't look very good, sitting in an alley with her back to the wall and her longbow on the ground to support herself. Since the chaos of the situation, a series of overly violent movements caused the wound on her chest to burst open, and the blood flowed profusely.

Archer crouched in front of Hill, looking at her pale face with a worried expression...... Along the way, they were chased by two Gustavs, one man and one demon, and encountered several dangerous situations, and it was entirely with the help of Hill that the two were able to escape here.

But it won't be long before they are caught up again.

"Athena, I can't walk." Ciel gasped and said calmly, "Do you remember the place Neven Morr said?" ”

Archer nodded and whispered, "It's the Secret Opera." ”

Ciel's lips were sickly dark blue, and her fingers clutching the longbow were slightly strained, whitening her knuckles, "How far are we from that place?" ”

Archer shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "In order to avoid pursuit, we have deviated from the direction we are heading, and we cannot even know our ...... What is the position. ”

"Is that so...... Hill looked up, her blue eyes staring at the blue sky, her expression still calm and indifferent, unable to tell what she was thinking.

Archer had mixed feelings. Since entering the tomb, she has not been able to act according to plan at all, and has almost completely fallen into the hands of Nevenmor.

This time, she was carrying out His Majesty's secret orders as "Athena", and although she never allowed herself to fail, she felt more and more that she could not complete the task.

She has always been a proud [Fire Rose] or [Duchess], but in the final analysis, she is under the age of twenty, just a girl who has not even experienced the rites of passage, no matter how talented she is, it is too early to blend into the troubled waters of Ji Ling.

Even if Hill didn't say it, Archer knew that when things got to this point, it was a question of whether he could leave Jiling alive.

The earth trembled, trembling more and more, and the sound of familiar footsteps could be heard not far away.

At one end of the alley appeared a massive figure—beneath the pair of bony wings and massive horns, demonized Gustav's blood-red eyes stared at Hill, who was leaning against the wall.

The alley was too narrow for the demon's size, and he stretched out his scorched hands and slammed into the walls on either side, his sharp nails digging into the walls, scratching at cracks, and then he dragged the dark walls to the ground.

The bricks turned into rubble and fell into the alley, and Archer hurriedly lifted Hill up from the wall and hugged her head to avoid being injured by the rubble.

Archer looked to the other side of the alley, trying to help Hill escape from that side, but before she could move, another figure was already blocking the other end of the alley: Grand Duke Gustav, armed with a burning knife, looked at Archer with a blank expression.

"You'll only be a little girl forever, Archer."

Archduke Gustav whispered.

Archer looked into his father's eyes, and the hands on Hill's cheeks trembled slightly.

Sensing Athena's uneasiness, Ciel weakly pushed her away and sat on her knees, holding her longbow in both hands, and muttered, "Archer...... You're Archer Blaze ......"

Silver Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, her silver hair fluttering on her shoulders, she looked at the demonized Gustav and said to Archer, "No wonder you, like me, have the deepest shadow in your heart as Duke Brilliant Duke. ”

Archer lowered her head and looked at Hill's side face, but couldn't make out her expression.

"General Hill, I'm sorry." She whispered, "But I didn't cheat on you other than that." ”

Hill said coldly, "How much do you know about your father?" ”

She took her eyes off the demonized Gustav and turned her head to glance at Archduke Gustav on the other side of the alley.

Compared to Gustav in demonic form, Gustav in human form looks much less powerful, and aside from his tall body and the heavy knife in his hand, his appearance and demeanor actually look a little mediocre.

Hill said slowly, "It seems that you don't know your father. ”

"General Hill......" Archer whispered, but she didn't know what to say, she subconsciously clenched her fists.

As they spoke, Gustav and the demonized Gustav took heavy steps, slowly approaching like a deadly Grim Reaper.

Looking at the two "fathers" walking on both sides of the alley at the same time, Archer's heart suddenly burned with a strong fighting spirit - she didn't want to deny Hill's words, in her heart, she was more afraid of her father than she understood, but she was unwilling and unwilling to bow her head to the mirror image of her fear.

I'm not that little girl anymore!

Archer stood sideways, pointing at the demon Gustav with one finger and the Grand Duke Gustav with the other, and the tips of his two index fingers became extremely hot, faintly revealing an orange glow.

This is her most familiar and powerful weapon: [Celea Barnes's mini-line of fire], but this time it seems to be different, the regular mini-line of fire is only the thickness of a finger, but Archer has increased the power of mana, and the quantitative change causes a qualitative change, and the line of fire faintly has the scale of a pillar of fire.

Feeling this unusual fluctuation of magical power, a look of surprise appeared on Ciel's weak face.

Even if she didn't know magic, she could tell that Archer was trying to raise the level of high magic to the level of forbidden spells, and she was planning to cast two forbidden spells at the same time!

"You're going to die." Hill said, narrowing his eyes.

A crimson fire ignited in the depths of Archer's pupils, and she didn't mean to stop, but instead injected more magic power, almost overdrawing the Demon Palace, and even pasting a large amount of life force upside down.

Because she didn't have a thorough analysis of [Grimmon Slash], she only imitated the forbidden spell in the form of energy, and this violation of the basic principles of magic caused her mental power to suffer tearing wounds.

Green tendons bulged from Archer's smooth forehead, and her gaze was determined, revealing a ferocious taste of wildness. As the chant ended, two pillars of white fire as thick as children's arms bounced and shot at the two Gustavs!

In the face of these two pillars of fire above the high magic and under the forbidden spell, the demon Gustav and the humanoid Gustav who had approached in front of them made a blocking action at the same time: the demon Gustav raised a large charred black hand and held the pillar of fire in the palm of his hand, and his fingertips overflowed with fragments of the pillar of fire, while the humanoid Gustav used a shattering heavy knife to cross in front of him, firmly blocking the white pillar of fire from the blade.

After the spell was cast, the flesh and blood on Archer's two palms were blurred, and the overloaded flames were devoured, and the palms burned to the flesh.

Compared to her, Gustav's charred palms became even more charred, and the hard shell of the claws opened a few cracks, and black demonic blood dripped down; On the other hand, the humanoid Gustav, who was defending with the help of a heavy knife, was unscathed, only pushed away by the impact of the pillar of fire a few steps, and the soles of his feet dragged two deep marks on the ground.

Archer is still too weak after all, so weak that even if he presses his life, he can't fight for a chance to survive.

Her body shook and she almost collapsed to the ground, but she still gritted her teeth and stood up.

But the enemy will not have compassion.

Gustav, the humanoid figure, raised his heavy knife and slashed it sideways, intending to slash Archer's head with a single blow, but Archer reached out to him and chanted a fire bomb, but her magic dried up, and two sparks flashed from her fingertips.

Surprisingly, the mighty Grand Duke Gustav slashed into the air, his blade swung over Archer's head and slashed through the air, only cutting off a few red hairs.

After the heavy slash, Archer sat down on the ground, she inexplicably escaped death, but completely lost the strength to fight or escape, and was almost faint.

That's really all it takes...... The last thought in her mind was simpler than she had imagined.

The demonic Gustav and the humanoid Gustav stood on either side of Hill and Archer, their claws and heavy knives raised at the same time, and they were about to fall down.

Cir gritted his teeth and stood up and raised the longbow above his head, protecting Archer beneath him.

At this moment, the surface of the dragon's horn bow suddenly rippled with a dark blue cold, and a dragon power emanated from the dragon head carving at the bow.

The demon Gustav and the humanoid Gustav stopped what they were doing at the same time, and although they were only a few centimeters away from killing Ciel and Archer, their eyes invariably showed a look of confusion.

The heavy knife fell, and the claws were taken away.

Ciel lowered his head and held the dragonhorn bow aloft, a look of surprise on his face, and then fell into confusion.

What happened?

……

High in the air, Levi withdrew one of his palms and looked at the dragon horn bow in Hill's hand with the same puzzled gaze.

Just now, he saw that Archer was about to be beheaded, so he changed the trajectory of the heavy knife with [Telekinesis].

Now, it seems that [Touch] played a vital role in shaking the demons and Gustav Blaze, and for a moment forgetting the intention of hunting the outsiders to death.

Why is that? Could it be related to the Dragon Soul of the Frost King in the Dead Touch?

Levi's brows furrowed, and he couldn't get an answer for a while.

At first, when he saw Gustav Blaze, he inevitably felt a little impetuousness and impulsiveness in his heart, but fortunately he had seen the eight statues beforehand and made relevant assumptions, and he was not too surprised to see the brilliant Duke with his own eyes.

He could see that Gustav's first goal was to kill Archer, and the unidentified demon had his first goal to kill Silver Hime, so it could be assumed that Gustav was related to Archer, and the demon was related to Ciel.

Just, what's the principle here?

Just as Levi's brain was racing, a scream of pain came from afar.

He felt a familiar force, what seemed to be the breath of [refraction].

The Lady of Secret has encountered an enemy?

Which of the eight statues would that enemy be?

Like Levi, the humanoid Gustav and the demon Gustav are equally attracted to the battle fluctuations in the distance. Without hesitation, they left Ciel and Archer behind, their eyes suddenly no longer confused, and they walked in the direction where the screams came.

In order not to be noticed by Gustav and the demons, Levi casts a light-based medium magic [Invisibility]. Compared to Eze's peerless [Hidden Step], this magic can only optically hide the body, but cannot hide other factors such as sound and breath, but it is enough to deal with the situation in front of you.

He glanced at Ciel and Archer, with no intention of showing up in front of them.

Since you can't find Terella, let's go to Flora to see what's going on.

"What's wrong with you, Terella?"

Flora looked at the Shadow Queen in front of her, a confused look.

She didn't know why Terella had launched a surprise attack on her, but she noticed a noticeable change in the Shadow Queen's appearance: not only did her hair turn black, but she even had a pair of extra wings.

Tyrella looked down at Flora, the three-pointed sword [Thorn of Pleasure] in her hand, a scarlet look of contempt flashing in her scarlet eyes.

"You are not welcome in Ozer, outsider." She smiled and said, "Besides, who gave you permission to call me by my first name?" ”

A rosy mask appeared around Flora's body, and she stared into Terella's eyes, reaffirming in her heart that the Shadow Queen's state was wrong, or that Terella in front of her was a mirror image at all.

But she didn't have time to think, as Terella's wings spread slightly, and the forked sword in her hand stabbed into the air.

The two short and long tips slashed through the shroud, failing to pierce the shroud, but Flora would not take the attack for granted, and she raised her right hand and threw a rose bolt of light with her one-arm, stabbing Terella's body.

Terella's figure suddenly blurred, turning into a dark red light and shadow behind Flora, and then opened her black lip gloss, and spat out a dark red sound wave from the tip of her tongue.

This solid dark red shadow struck at the speed of sound, and it was almost impossible to avoid it.

Hearing this scream of pain, Flora only felt that the soul in her body was trembling violently, although the physical impact of the sound wave could be blocked by the light mask, but the attached spiritual impact could not be resisted by the spatial barrier.

"Is this what the witch does?"

Flora frowned as she turned and waved her palm, the rose blade of light from her fingertips slashing at Terella's eyes, but Terella once again turned into a dark red light and flashed in the other direction.

This type of movement is not the same as displacement magic, nor is it a means of folding or tearing through space. The well-informed Flora remembered the secret of Ozer, which was even more difficult to learn than the Hidden Walk, allowing Ozer's Assassins to enter and exit the battlefield with ease, and their whereabouts were unpredictable.

Later, these two disciplines spread to the Curtain Forest along with the dead of Ozer, and became the symbol of Shamer in the Night Country.

In this way, as the queen of the Shadow Country, it is not difficult to understand that Terella has mastered this technique, but her flickering seems to be dyed with the aura of chaos, and the technique is not pure.

However, the problem that really bothered Flora was that the movement of the two of them would reveal her location, and once the terrifying Spirit Lord descended here, she would really be doomed.

Thinking of this, Flora raised her remaining right hand and threw the light arrow again, the attack was much more fierce than before, as if she didn't want to waste time here.

But things didn't go her way.

Terella flew swiftly through the air with her wings, flickering in all directions, screaming at her in a continuous wave of screams.

Between the flickering of dark red light and shadow and the spatial folding of the rosy circle of light, the figures of Flora and Terella are constantly intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior for a while.

But only Flora herself knew that the Origin Power in her body was being rapidly depleted, and as time went on, the situation became more and more unfavorable for her.

Between the black wings, Terella played with the Thorn of Pleasure, squinted her eyes and said, "Your skin is beautiful, let me add a mark of love to you." ”

She threw a thorn of pleasure at her hand, her sword slamming into Flora's body, sending a dark red afterimage.

To Flora's shock, the sword ignored the shield of the rosy light and stabbed into her left shoulder, splashing a grim splash of blood.

"Hmmm......"

Flora was half-crouched on the ground, she drew the thorn of pleasure, but she felt as if the sword was still in her body, and was slowly sucking her own blood, making her weaker and weaker, and most strangely of all, she felt a trace of extreme pleasure in the pain, and she could not help but let out a soft moan.

"I like the way you struggle." Terrella landed in front of Flora and licked her lips, "Pain and pleasure always go hand in hand, don't they?" ”

She lifted her hand, and the thorn of pleasure flew out of Flora's hand and returned to Terella's palm.

"Don't be afraid, I'll let you enjoy it all." Terry stretched out his bright red tongue and licked* the blood-stained blade.

Then, she raised the Thorn of Pleasure and slammed it into Flora's head.

Flora endured the double torture of pain and pleasure, and her body fell backwards, falling into nothingness, and reappeared in a rosy circle of light dozens of meters away.

At this moment, a purple light and shadow shot out in the distance, it cracked the void, and in an instant, it came to Flora's body, and a purple spear of light pierced out of the light and shadow.

The tip of the spear of light poked into Flora's lower abdomen, and she let out a muffled grunt of pain, and the figure disappeared again, using the folded space to shuttle through the air into the street, falling and tumbling from the aperture of light in embarrassment.

The Eze people in the streets stopped and stared at Flora with a strange smile.

Flora covered her lower abdomen with one arm, pressed her forehead to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood. If it weren't for her quick reaction just now, it wouldn't have been a matter of being stabbed a few centimeters by a light spear, but she would have been pierced through the abdomen and dismembered on the spot.

Although she escaped, there was a strange Shadow Queen in front of her, and an unstoppable Void Spirit Lord in the back, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in Flora's heart. She had to admit that maybe she was really going to fall in the tomb of Ji this time.

Terrela didn't seem to know the identity of the Spirit Lord, she looked at the purple figure in mid-air, and said in disgust, "It's the smell of the void again, who are you, and why are you in my country?" ”

In response to the Shadow Queen's questioning, the Void Spirit Lord did not react. He just looked down at Flora not far away, brandished his short stick, and stabbed her body with a light spear.

Flora tried to get up from the ground, but before she could fully stand up, she saw a purple crack in the air in front of her, and the tip of the light spear pierced out of it, pointing straight at her brow.

At the same moment, a muffled chant came from behind her, and Flora felt her body be grasped by a pair of invisible hands, and then the streets around her sped forward and shrunk, and in a matter of seconds she flew into the air, being held in her arms.

Nevenmor's black robe fluttered in the wind, and Levi's, who suddenly appeared here, hugged Flora, his eyes staring at the shadow queen opposite:

She had wings on her back, her silky black hair combed back with silver chains, a blood ruby on her forehead, a small black breastplate wrapped around her full chest, and a palm-sized hip-hugging armor covering her private parts.

"Terella?" Levi frowned and said, "Did you succeed?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be her."

At the critical moment, Levi's life was saved, and Flora didn't have time to say words of thanks, but hurriedly said, "You have to be careful of the man in the purple robe, his strength is much stronger than mine." ”

Although holding Flora, Levi ignored her. He looked closely into Terella's eyes, and seemed to be able to catch an invisible hint of ice blue in those scarlet eyes.

"It doesn't look like the heart is needed, Terrella is back in the body." Levi whispered, a faint uneasiness deep inside, "Looks like she doesn't remember you, Flora." ”

"I'm afraid she doesn't remember you either—don't say my name, Levi!" Flora glanced at Levi and said through gritted teeth.

Levi was not in the mood to argue with Flora, and he said to Terella, "Do you remember me?" It's me, I'm going to help you get back-"

He was greeted by a dark red sound wave.

"Don't call me by my name, outsider." Terrella said coldly, "Or do you want to get my attention and expect me to give you pain?" ”

Levi's and Flora's bodies turned into countless photons and flashed in another direction.

With a look of confusion on his face, he said to Terella, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Have you forgotten our agreement? ”

A purple crack emerged from behind him, and a spear of light pierced through it like lightning.

Levi hugged Flora tightly and quickly avoided it under the whizzing cloak, but then encountered the impact of dark red sound waves, although he used the [Crystal Shield] to resist physical damage, but his spirit was affected, and he was a little dizzy for a while.

Tyrella flashed in front of Levi and stabbed the thorn of pleasure in his face, as if intent on piercing Levi's head.

Levi stretched out his right hand and grabbed the Thorn of Pleasure, he didn't use counter-magic, his right hand was dripping with blood, and his palm was pierced by the spike in the middle of the forked sword.

He stared into Terella's eyes, "Who are you?" ”

Terrella looked at Levi and said lightly, "I'm the Shadow Queen, you ignorant and humble fellow. ”

Levi suddenly sneered, his tone full of anger: "Have you forgotten? You're not anyone's queen, you're the queen of the Shadow Country! ”

There was a mental shock in his voice.

Hearing Levi's words, Terella's red pupils suddenly spread, and an icy blue light appeared in the depths of the pupils. She furrowed her brows in confusion, and then her expression became very painful, and she covered her head, grabbed her hair, and muttered in pain and laughed pleasantly, contradictory and distorted.

The Void Lord would not wait for Levi to wake up Terella, he tore through the void and came behind Levi, raising his hand and stabbing a spear through Levi's head.

The mirror shattered, Levi's body shattered into countless pieces, and Flora fell downward.

Levi burst out of the air not far away, and as soon as he reappeared, he spread his fingers and grabbed Flora, who had remained where she was, and hugged her body again.

"Give up, Levi......" Flora said, grabbing Levi's shirt and biting her lip, "you can't defeat the Spirit Lord, and if you don't escape, you'll die here!" ”

"Terella!"

Levi still looked at Terella's figure, and shouted unrelentingly.

"Don't forget your original intention!"

"The original intention?" Terrella said confusedly.

"That's right." Levi took a deep breath and said, "I'm the one you chose." ”

Terella was even more puzzled, and she looked at Levi seriously, "You know me?" ”

She seemed to remember something, and her eyes gradually softened, but then she showed a hideous look, gritted her teeth and said, "No, how can I know such a small character as you?" ”

At the end of the street, the demonic Gustav and the humanoid Gustav had just arrived, and they gazed together at Levi and Flora in mid-air, as if they had found a new target to obliterate.

"There are more and more enemies, Levi." Flora said hurriedly, "You can't waste any more time!" ”

Under the cloak, Levi's face became extremely gloomy, and he shouted angrily:

"I pity you, stupid Shadow Queen, remember Mayvis? Still jealous of her beauty? ”

His voice resounded through the streets.

At this moment, the contradiction in Terella's heart seemed to have touched a certain limit, she suddenly raised her head, hugged her head, opened her mouth and let out an unprecedented scream of pain, dark red sound waves spread out from between her lips, smashing the surrounding streets and buildings to pieces, and the devastating energy was hidden in this sound wave, towards Levi and Flora—

At the same time, the Void Spirit Lord also tore through the space, stabbing out a spear of light through the air, piercing Levi's head-

Demonized Gustav stretched out his scorched black hand and aimed it at Levi, and a flame with black demon patterns erupted from his palm—

Archduke Gustav picked up the flaming heavy knife and threw it with all his might—

Houses collapsed, streets shattered, spears of light flickered, flames erupted, heavy knives swirled and crushed vast swaths of air...... A devastating attack surged at once, and the space around Levi suddenly distorted as Levi was about to be shattered to powder by the sound wave that came first.

Exactly a minute passed, and the figures of Levi and Flora disappeared into the chaotic and furious air.
