Volume 1 The Mystery of the Shadows Chapter 58 Black Magic

At the empty side, Levi's fingers were gripping a piece of his neck.

A short, rickety old man appeared in the air, dressed in an ancient wizard-style black robe, and grabbed Levi's wrists with two arms like dry branches, trying to inhale with his mouth open, revealing a mouthful of crooked yellow teeth.

"You-"

"These are some interesting dreams, do you think these memories are delicious, Conrad?" Levi said calmly, "However, now that you have learned that I am of the blood of the night god, it should be clear that I will not be lost in the dream. ”

As he spoke, the two Levis in front of him and behind him disappeared at the same time, as if they had never appeared.

"Where did you come from...... It really blew my mind. Conrad glared at Levi, the sarcoma on his nose and his lips trembling together, "In a thousand years...... There are quite a few new things happening on the mainland. ”

He suddenly laughed, hoarse and harsh, "So that's why you're working with Terella...... It doesn't matter, what you want to know, Terella can tell you, and I can tell you too. ”

"You know the Fire of Destruction?" Levi asked.

"Of course, as long as you don't interfere with my ritual and give me the rest of Terella's soul, I'll tell you these secret things, okay?" Conrad laughed.

Levi raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I'm a man who keeps his promises, or rather...... The chips you gave me weren't enough to make me apostatize. ”

His five fingers pressed harder, causing Conrad's neck to make an unpleasant "crunch" sound.

Conrad's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you strangle me, it will only kill me as a wisp of distraction...... Hey, hey, stupid and naïve young man, you're not even a real magician! ”

Levi nodded and said lightly: "After talking so much nonsense, you are just stalling for time." The speed of time in this dream is one hundred and twenty to one compared to the outside world, which means that you have delayed for a total of thirteen seconds, and in those thirteen seconds, my real body is defenseless, right? ”

Levi's mind clearly remembered the time he spent in all his dreams, a total of twenty-six minutes - dreams are also part of the night, and staying awake in dreams is a gift of the blood of the god of the night, and as Prince Shamel, Levi can easily distinguish between dreams and reality.

"You're smart, and it seems you know a bit about witchcraft, but so what? You are about to die in the outside world, and the consciousness in the dream will naturally be shattered. Conrad looked at Levi sneeringly, "And your knowledge and memory are accepted by me, Lord Conrad." ”

Levi shook his head, and he said unhurriedly, "I have little to no knowledge of witchcraft, and it seems that you haven't read my memory carefully enough. ”

He paused and said, "I didn't like to study when I was in Chamel, and although I read a lot of books since I came to Odryk, witchcraft is absolutely forbidden in the land of the sun, and I have not had the opportunity to contact it. ”

Listening to Levi's words, Conrad's heart suddenly had a bad premonition.

"You are a wonderful wizard, no, in your time, you should be called a black magician." Levi smiled gloomily as he stared into Conrad's eyes, "The name of this dark magic is [Dream Eater]?" Yes, yes, your knowledge and memory are laughed at by me, Lord Levi. ”

He returned Conrad's words as they were, then pinched Conrad's neck, causing it to shatter into a cloud of cyan smoke and flee in all directions, but Levi was not fooled, he reached out and re-clutched the dissipated smoke into a ball and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.

[Dream Eating Spell] is a slow cast of spiritual sorcery, once invaded by the Dream Eating Spell, the spell sufferer will fall into a dream without knowing it, and all the memories in the mind will be displayed in front of the caster, and the caster will not lose control of the body in reality when browsing the memories of the spell caster, and the speed of time between the dream and the reality is inconsistent, the ratio is one hundred and twenty to one.

In other words, while Levi was dreaming, Conrad was still manipulating Archer's body and was able to drive the reflection of consciousness to kill the sleeping Levi.

However, Conrad was unaware of the Night's Bloodline's talents, and when he skimmed Levi's memories, Levi quickly sensed the nature of the dream and used his talent to reverse his memory.

Thirteen seconds ago.

Rudolph hits Levi with Storm Medium Magic [Compressed Air]. Levi, who had already consumed three layers of counter-control magic, was directly hit, flew a distance of nearly 100 meters in the blast of air, and crashed into countless ruins floating in the air.

In a violent concussion, he fell into a semi-comatose state.

And Conrad in Archer's body played the [Dream Eating Curse] that had been prepared for a long time, invading Levi's consciousness, causing his memories to be displayed in the form of dreams, supplemented by fragments.

Under the protection of the blood of the night god, Levi sensed bystanders as soon as he entered the dream realm, and he pretended not to know, manipulated the authority of the dream world, and quietly invaded Conrad's consciousness in reverse.

At the same time, he did not lose control of his body in reality, but was stimulated by the [Dream Eating Spell] and woke up faster than usual, in a subtle state of being half conscious and half conscious.

Conrad, who had no idea about this, browsed Levi's memories while continuing the soul sucking ritual that was coming to an end, controlling Rudolph and the others to take the opportunity to kill Levi's body.

Rudolph quickly approached Levi's, taking four seconds to get in front of him.

However, Conrad was attracted by Levi's memories and true identity during the dream-eating process, and instead of ordering Rudolph to kill Levi immediately, he waited on the sidelines.

Five seconds later, Mavis and the others also rushed to Levi's side, and Levi still pretended to be unconscious.

Then, at this moment, after the thirteenth second, Levi tore through the window paper and subdued the Conrad Split Soul in his dream. He didn't need to hide anymore, because all the conditions were ready.

In Conrad's memory, he found an interesting path of black magic.

In the ruins of Öze, the dying Benedict drooped his head, his consciousness infinitely close to dissipation.

Suddenly, he was awakened by a strong wave of energy in the sky, and he opened his tired eyes and barely raised his head to look high into the sky.

……

In a floating building, half of the house is missing, revealing a broken interior structure.

Harriet Lopez, dressed in Ozer costume, stood up and stared at the sky as Jack and Jenny hugged each other with a look of fear.

What's going on? Who the hell is the man in the black cloak? Why does everything smell weird? Why is there a false glimmer in the facts that are supposed to be revealed?

……

Everything looks extraordinary today.

In Leanne's opinion, Ozer had been peaceful and beautiful for ten years, but a devastating catastrophe had distorted the entire Ozer into what it is today.

The city she lived in became an ugly sphere; The sky she looked up at was in shambles......

"Who is she, Mr. Dorset?" Leanne's voice trembled slightly, "Where's Lady Ornos?" Who's going to tell me what's going on? ”

Gore's general Dorsett stood beside Leanne, his stiff face raised, his eagle-like brown eyes locked on the Gorean Emperor in the sky, and the depths of his pupils revealed confusion and struggle.

……

Thorne crawled out of the rubble, sat on the ground panting, and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

"Damn ......"

He pressed against the piercing wound in his abdomen, his expression hideous.

"My body became a little weird, this breath like a dead man...... What does it taste like? ”

A sonorous sound like a steel handover came from the air, and the blazing white light changed the color of the sky for a brief moment.

Thorne looked up, looked into the air in surprise, and then looked shocked.

……

"Nevenmor......

Cher Manvenlin leaned against a broken wall and stared at Nevenmor in the sky.

In the previous Void Rebellion, she had lost an arm, and the stitched wound on her chest had been torn and bleeding.

What annoyed her the most was that she didn't know where Archer Blaze was swept up in the turbulence, and without Archer as the key to the plan, she would not have been able to seize the dragon's heart and complete the deal with His Majesty.

But now, she saw Archer manipulating* the reflection of consciousness and going toe-to-toe with Nevenmor.

"Why are you there, Archer Blaze?"

What's going on?

At this point, Hill was powerless to change anything.

……

Winter Saint Anna Christer was watching the battle, her mood indescribable, and the only thoughts left in her mind about Nevenmoor's tactics were shocked and incredulous.

Nevenmor's strength is unfathomable, she has shown herself to be stronger than Lord Rudolph, and Lord Icarus cannot be her opponent...... Anna even suspects that the founder of the Elemental Text, the Grand Magister Arsenal, is not at the level of Nevenmor.

Who the hell is she?

Like Anna, all the outsiders who were stranded in Öze for various reasons and circumstances watched the battle of Nevenmor and witnessed the miracles of the mysterious archmage.

Killing seven Sages alone, can Nevenmor really do it?

The answer is being revealed in the air -

A thick dark red chain shot out of Nevenmor's cuffs, and Rudolph and the others were caught off guard by the sudden attack of "her".

The chains were covered with hideously shaped and strange handwriting, which shimmered with a dark red and menacing light, and it was more like the claw marks of a beast scratching at with its sharp claws, revealing a primordial chaotic aura.

The chains pierced Rudolph's nearest body and wrapped tightly around Rudolph's body. The chain did not trigger the counter magic, and it did not seem to have any damage attached, but the effect of the spell did not stop there, it still flew in the air at a rapid speed, stabbing directly at Mayvis behind Rudolph, no matter how the reflection of the White Queen struggled, it could not dodge, and then Emperor Gole and Archduke Gustav were also pierced and restrained by the dark red chains.

The reflection of the four consciousnesses is like four grasshoppers on a rope, shrouded in a rich destiny characteristic.

Chains have no actual form, and neither swords nor magic strikes can deal any damage to them.

"It's ...... Shackles of Fate! ”

Looking at this witchcraft, Archer's face was shocked, and the black smoke in his eyes rolled even more violently. No matter how stupid Conrad is, he understands that Levi has stolen a lot of things from his own brain!

But how could he remember the knowledge he had read once and put it into use immediately?

There was no one to answer for him.

In ancient times, magicians and wizards were not completely distinguished, they both relied on the magic palace to store mana, but magicians used magic power, wizards used chaos mana, but no matter what kind of mana, in the final analysis, it was transformed from attributeless energy.

Sorcerering was once called a black magician, and witchcraft was once called black magic.

Levi's mana does not come from the Demon Palace, but from the abundant attributeless energy in the tomb, and for him, as long as he masters the method, it makes no difference between magic and witchcraft.

Here's his answer—

Nevenmor used sorcery to string the four of them around a chain, and then turned to magic:

The white-hot lightning that [Divine Slash] had turned into burst out of his palm, slashing at the nearest Rudolph.

Rudolph sings [Mirror of Greed], but an indifferent voice rings in his ears: "Quiet! ”

The chant is interrupted, and white lightning strikes Rudolph's body, triggering the counter-magic [Mirror Escape], but that's not all, Rudolph still has a dark red shackle of fate hanging from the mirror not far away.

Although he escaped with counter-magic, white lightning shot along the dark red shackles towards Mavis on the other end, erupting with a blinding glare—

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Ascomani of Gole was also forced to suffer the damage of [Imitation of God Slash], and finally it was Gustav Blaze's turn.

A forbidden spell hits four enemies at the same time, this is the terror and horror of witchcraft [Chains of Fate], and Nevenmor's attack has just begun, he uses the killer weapon of interrupting magic to use Rudolph as a living target that cannot be resisted, and all kinds of magic rains down like a storm:

Under the effect of [Double Caster], release [Divine Slash] again; [Clusters of Heavenly Punishment] burst out, and thick lightning converged into pillars of thunder and fell on top of Rudolph's head; [The Great Shockwave] erupted, turning into a hammer of twisted ripples and striking Rudolph's body; [Zuth's Lightning Spear] stabbed mercilessly, piercing Rudolph's chest; [Siraya Barnes's Fire Phoenix] split into four and roared and pounced on the four enemies......

As a magician, Rudolph was severely suppressed as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and without magic means, he was just an ordinary old man, unable to defend or dodge, let alone fight back, and every blow he ate fell on the other three at the same time.

In just five seconds, the archmage was dissipated in aggrieved by the magic bombardment.

And although Mayvis and Gustav and the others were able to use their own means to defend, they only lasted one or two breaths longer than Rudolph.

Under the tandem of [Shackles of Fate], the two options of dodging and fleeing are invisibly restrained, and the three of them can only resist the overwhelming high magic encyclopedia...... Surprisingly, the White Queen Mavis turned out to be the one who has been supporting the longest among the three.

But it's just a little more time to live.

As Mayvis's charred snake shattered into char pieces, the dark red shackles disappeared into thin air, and in front of Nevenmor, only Archer Blaze was left in a cloud of black smoke.

In Nevenmor's indiscriminate bombardment performance, it's not that Conrad doesn't want to escape, but that he can't escape...... Half of his consciousness was still in Levi's dream, half of Levi's consciousness was also stuck in his dream, [Dream Eating Spell] was still continuing, and the two couldn't separate each other for too long.

This one-way spell has evolved into a two-way spell under the intervention of the night god's protection, Levi and Conrad restrict each other's movements, and no one can do without the other, and the current situation has become a little funny.

However, by the time Levi wiped out the four Sages in one go, freeing his hand, the situation was not comical for Conrad, but somewhat tragic.

He was on the verge of absorbing all the properties of the shrine, just a little, a little......

"No—"

Looking at Levi's outstretched palm, Archer let out a terrible shout, and his voice was full of pain and unwillingness.

After a thousand years of rebirth, the last image he saw was Levi's's cold, gloomy black eyes.

At the end of it all, an absurd idea arose in his head.

Perhaps, for the title "Nevenmor", the cunning and despicable Levi Hammurabi is the most suitable candidate.

In the dim light of the setting sun, Archer closed his eyes and a sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his body, bathed in the warm glow of the sunset.

He stood on a high platform, holding a majestic skeletal scepter, dressed in the black robe of the bishop, his face was young and cold, his teeth were neat and snow-white, and he grinned with a cold light.

At his feet, thousands of Ozers knelt in the dark streets, each with their bodies crouched on the ground, each praising the majesty of the Queen.

He turned, and behind him were the ninety-nine black stone steps, and at the end of the stone steps was a towering throne—the Queen of the Shadow Realm, Tyrella Akasha Cleopatra, who had just completed her coronation, and she sat on the highest point of Öze, overlooking thousands of subjects.

Her black hair was combed back to her head, her horns had been cut off, and a golden earring that covered her pointed ears extended from the back of her head and hung from the bridge of her nose, and under the golden hoop was a thin black veil with a pair of beautiful scarlet pupils.

Conrad gripped the skull scepter tightly, and he raised his head slightly, staring at Tyrella high above him, and let out a soft grunt of admiration.

"My Queen......"
