A thousand years ago, Queen Terella Cleopatra gave the White Queen a bottle of poison called [Intimidation Essence], which forever deprived Mavis Aphrodite of her beauty.

A thousand years later, in Saladin's mausoleum for the Queen of Shadows, [Intimidation Essence] fell on Terella's body, and only this bottle of poison could free her soul from the dragon's heart.

Cracks appeared in the outer shell of the black metal vial, and an inky viscous liquid spilled out of the cracks—and in the countless metal fragments, the intimidating essence bloomed like a dark flower.

What will become of Terella?

Levi, who threw the poison with his own hands, had no way to witness this, his weak consciousness sinking into darkness, and a lingering scream of pain lingered in his ears...... His soul fell into the darkness, and the sound chased down, piercing his heart.

On the horizon of Ozer, the setting sun stopped falling and froze above the horizon. The blood-colored canopy was full of holes, revealing the void sea of stars behind the canopy, and thousands of strands of dark blue light slowly floated in the air, like a gorgeous aurora...... Over time, this scene of the overlapping void and reality has stabilized.

The city of obsidian was in shambles, the total area of the city had shrunk to two-thirds of its original size, countless halls and pavilions were floating in the air, and there was hardly a complete building to be found in the entire city.

The Eze people in the city are all reduced to cold corpses, and they are like millions of broken marionettes, floating around every corner of Eze along with broken bricks and all kinds of garbage.

The Void Tower and the eight stone statues also suffered the fate of disintegration: the body of the tower was broken into sections and pieced together in the middle of the sky, leaving only a section of the foundation stuck in the ground; Rudolph's stone head swirled slowly in the sky, and from time to time it was bumped by the great sword of the Mountain King, and Connellus was still holding the sword flat, but his head was missing......

"I really don't know how to control myself......"

Thorne hovered in midair, squinting at the ruins in front of him.

"I hope Ornos's iron sheet won't be damaged too badly."

Suddenly, he noticed a body that did not belong to Oze, showed a look of interest, and immediately flew towards it.

Archer Blaze closed her eyes tightly, her red hair spread out, her moon-white robe covered with dust, and her body fluttering slowly in midair. It is clear that she survived the rioting void, not missing arms or legs, but falling into a coma.

"It's weird." Thorne came to Archer and carefully examined her face, "Her body is obviously full of magic, but there is a hint of witchcraft...... Is she a magician or a wizard? ”

As if sensing something, Thorne suddenly reached out and unbuttoned Archer's neckline, tearing open the placket of his shirt, which was already torn. Archer's breasts were unabashedly exposed to the air, and Thorne's eyes were fixed on her left nipple, as if she was drawn to it, and she didn't want to move away for a moment.

What really interested him was not the woman's breasts, but the dark blue vertical eye pattern on the breasts, and the chaotic lines in the patterns.

"I can't imagine that there are still people in this world who have this forbidden witchcraft." Thorne's eyes flickered, his expression looking like he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time, "It's a stitching charm, right?" Let me think, is this coming for that dragon's heart? ”

As an ancient wizard who had lived for thousands of years, Thorne – or Conrad, who had taken possession of Thorne's body – had not seen witchcraft from other wizards for a long time.

Witchcraft has been the opposite of magic since ancient times. Magicians believe in knowledge and order, they borrow the power of the elements in nature and revere the natural order, but wizards have no faith, and the power they use comes from chaos, which itself is synonymous with irregularity, irregularity, and disorder, and has the same roots as the demons in hell.

In the Land of the Sun, Audric, the wizard is a heretic, an evil being to be burned at the stake, but Conrad from Saladin's time is not aware of this, and he is unlikely to know the court magician's robes worn by Archer...... At this point, Conrad was completely attracted by the stitching spell on Archer's chest, and an excited and bold idea arose in his mind.

He let out a somber laugh, grabbed the small red flower on Archer's shoulder, uprooted it, and then used the Chaos Arcane Technique to remove all the parasitic seeds from her body.

Conrad then retrieved a black cube, which was the [Shrine] that Levi had been searching for. He slipped the shrine into Archer's pocket and recited strange incantations that didn't belong to the Elemental Text, sometimes slow and low, sometimes high and crazy, and full of confusion.

Between the incantations, wisps of black smoke spilled from Thorne's eyes, nose and mouth, and the black smoke condensed in front of him the image of an ugly old man, with two long eyebrows hanging down from the corners of his eyes, a huge sarcoma growing on his nose, and a mouth full of crooked teeth.

The old man, turned into black smoke, pounced on Archer's face, dissipating into wisps of black air and pouring into Archer's mouth, while Thorne, who lost control, leaned back slightly, floating in the air like a dead corpse.

A hint of blue and black flashed on Archer's face, and when she opened her eyes, black smoke was in her pupils, which looked extremely evil.

"Not bad, not bad." She tugged at the placket of her chest, and then admired her slender white hands, although there were some scars on the body, Conrad was generally satisfied.

She glanced at Thorne, who was slowly floating in front of her, and pointed at him, and Thorne fell, his body slamming into several floating houses and several broken walls, and stumbling into the rubble below.

"Interesting, this suturing spell seems to have been treated with special treatment." Archer closed her eyes and felt the hidden traces of witchcraft on her body, and she whispered to herself, "If you are close to the distance of a hundred meters from the dragon's heart, can you replace it?" That's too short, so let me improve it. ”

She held out her fingers, and the tips of her index fingers turned black, and there were traces of liquid flowing in the blue.

Then, she reached into her garment, her fingertips gently scribbling on her left chest. In the dark blue vertical eyes, the messy lines became even more messy.

After about a few minutes, Archer withdrew his right hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a malicious arc: "It's done." ”

As soon as the words fell, she felt a sharp pain in her chest—

In this extremely brief moment, she could clearly perceive that the blood in her body had clotted, and the ventricle under her left chest had become empty, as if someone had taken her heart out of nowhere.

In the next second, her feeling was completely different, not only was her chest full of bulging, but also a strong and full strength emerged from her limbs, one breath seemed to be worth a hundred times before, and her heart beat as heavy and powerful as thunder.

On her left chest, all the dark blue lines moved, burrowing into her skin like small snakes, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"This is the heart of the dragon...... This is the superior relic......"

All the injuries on his body disappeared without a trace, and Archer closed his eyes in enjoyment, raised his chin slightly, and smiled faintly.

"With it, this body will soon be able to go to the next level, or even several levels."

She opened her arms, then slammed them into her chest, a frightening wind as she staggered.

"What a surprise, I didn't expect it to work, I should be grateful to the caster of this suturing spell." Archer clenched her fists, her red hair fluttering behind her, "That way, I don't need Ornos's body...... Relying on the consolidation of the dragon's heart, I was even able to absorb the full power of the spirit shrine, which was ten times better than the effect of the broken iron skin! ”

It took a few minutes for Archer to calm down from her excitement, and she looked in the direction of the Tower of Nothingness, her eyes glinting with thought.

"It seems that the toys left behind by Ornos can still come in handy." She muttered, "Then, I just need to prepare for the ceremony seriously......"

He had been waiting in the shrine for a whole thousand years.

Soul collector, the terrifying demon lord of hell, Nevinmor, let the great Lord Conrad laugh at your authority!

In the dusk somewhere in Oze, a broken street floated in the sky dozens of meters above the ground.

Flora was lying in the middle of the street, her appearance miserable, the small half of her body cut off by the dark blue light, and the left shoulder and the part of her left thigh that was missing.

There was a shocking pool of blood running from beneath her.

"Is Ornos dead......

Flo stretched out her remaining right hand, fingertips grasping at the stone floor in front of her, and she looked up with difficulty, looking at the ruined walls around her with a complicated expression.

During this trip to Jiling, she encountered a more dangerous predicament than expected, paid a much greater price than she imagined, and of course, learned some valuable historical secrets.

For the Secret Keeper, that's the biggest takeaway.

However, if Levi doesn't succeed in retrieving Terella's mind, she won't be able to learn the secrets of the Dome.

"I've done everything I can, Levi." She whispered.

Glancing at the miserable condition of her body, Flora couldn't help but laugh at herself, even with a lot of forbidden knowledge, she didn't dare to guarantee that she would be able to repair her body, reshape the Sage's rank, and maybe ask for the Temple's help.

And the Void Temple, as a strict and loosely organized organization, may not be able to give her strong support.

Flora barely crawled in front of a black broken wall and rested against it. Her mind still vividly reproduced the [Divine Slash] released by Levi, the blazing lightning that impressed her and filled her with suspicion.

Because Levi's mastery of many forbidden spells has violated the basic principle of magic - attributes.

At first, Flora thought that Levi was a natural earth magician, but this was not the case.

Levi's initial use of the [Earth's Touch] against her was the Natural's magic-earth-based forbidden spell, and the final release of the [G-God Slash] was the Heat-Clan's magic-fire forbidden spell, coupled with the all-attribute counterspell that was cast during the process, which made it impossible for Flora to identify Levi's major magic attribute.

Even Rudolph, the most arrogant archmage since Arsenal, could not master the forbidden spell that spanned two magic clans at the same time. He can only copy forbidden spells cast by his opponents, and cannot chant them with his own magical powers, as this violates the mage's principle of natural affinity.

Never before in history has there been a magician with a natural affinity covering the entire lineage, and even the Arsenal, the pioneer of the Elemental Text, lacks the affinity of the tide, animal, and plant systems.

Aside from the Arsenal, which has been active for a long time and has unfathomable strength, it is the consensus of the wizarding academic community that magicians cannot use forbidden spells across systems and advanced magic across clans.

"If you're not a genius who has never been seen before, there's only one answer...... Are you relying on an external force, Levi? ”

Flora muttered.

Based on her erudition and personal observation, Levi's rank exudes a strong sense of flaw, like ...... Rapid results.

She couldn't help but think of the prophetic book Aorako's answer: In the tomb, she will meet three sages. Assuming that the Sage referred to by Aorako is a real person, then all the reflections of consciousness created by the Crown of the Cracks cannot be counted, and of all the people she meets, only Levi is of the Sage rank, plus the Dragon and the Frost King, two Sages have already appeared.

"One from the past, one from the present, one from the future......" Flora frowned and whispered to herself.

One person missing.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and she subconsciously raised her head, only to see a cold and awe-inspiring figure suspended in mid-air.

Anna, the Winter Maiden, looked down at Flora, her eyes calm and gentle, but that didn't mean she didn't distinguish between friend and foe, and there was no guarantee that she wouldn't kill...... What's more, Flora had "killed" her with her own hands.

"See you again."

Anna's body fell to the ground, and the snow-white cloak fluttered gently.

"This time, would you like to report your name?"

Her tone was flat, and her blue eyes showed a chill like winter ice.

Flora didn't answer, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I didn't expect that you have been promoted to a saint after a day." ”

The Winter Saintess nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Thanks to Your Excellency, I have captured a wisp of extremely cold qi in the frozen time. ”

"Frozen time...... I see. Flora's eyes flickered, as if she understood something.

The Winter Maiden is a Sage from the past, and the other two Sages become clear as the mystery is revealed: when Flora receives the prophecy, the Winter Maiden's time is frozen in the "past"; Ornos has always existed in the Hall of the Rulers of Öze, for the "now"; And Levi probably mastered the forbidden spell after this, so it came from the "future".

"You're not from Gole, and you don't belong to Odelik." Anna stared into Flora's eyes, "I've heard that you've killed many Guards soldiers and court magicians. ”

"What a good girl who loves and hates." Flora said calmly, "Yes, I am your enemy. ”

Anna nodded, and she raised a hand, a small white chill condensed from her fingertips.

"I don't need to inquire into your identity, may you have eternal peace after being transformed into an ice sculpture."

Hearing the Winter Maiden's words, Flora raised her eyebrows and did not speak.

On Anna's fingertips, frost-white cold air rolled towards Flora's body, and at the moment when the frost was about to touch her, the space around her suddenly distorted—

She vanished.

……

Under the deep blue starry sky, wisps of yellow sunlight shine through the void night, which looks strange and magnificent.

Somewhere in the pale complex, Flora leaned against the corner, playing with a beautiful hourglass in her right hand.

"I'm sorry, Levi." The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she whispered, "I'm not just a secret keeper, I can be considered a thief. ”

Öze.

Under the huge sunset on the horizon, a small house that is still intact floats in the warm sunlight.

On the dark wooden floor of the house was a large black body, curled up in the corner, with only a long tail peeking out of the shadows, making it impossible to see its appearance.

On the other side of the room was a crystal clear ice coffin, and the lid of the coffin overflowed with wisps of cold air. Levi's eyes were closed lightly, his hands folded on his chest, and he lay in the coffin, looking extraordinarily peaceful.

A golden sun shines through the round window of the room, reflecting the reflection of the person sitting on the window on the floor.

Her long hair was soft and flowing, her figure was plump and graceful, she wore a twisted crown on her head, and she held half a mutilated dragon head in her hand.

On the lower left side of her lips, there is a shallow beauty mole.
