Curt shuddered violently, obviously not yet in shape, but felt a tingling sensation around him as if he had received a slight electric shock.

The wheel of ancient words gradually accelerated, and the words embedded in it had changed into indistinguishable streamers, and finally only continuous lines remained. They collect the magic of the moonlight and infuse it with the surrounding silver mist, coating the mist with a metallic glow.

They had lost their ethereal form, and looked like an iron cone hanging high in the sky, about to be nailed under the black cocoon in the middle of the town. This is where the soul-piercing sensation comes from, and the magic that Liki has concentrated can be observed with the naked eye.

If someone is standing on a tall building and looking up at the sky at this time. You may be able to see a cloud of different colors accumulating in the sky overhead, shimmering like moonlight. They tossed gently like the waves, but the color of dead ash was as sickly as Lizzie's.

Ordinary people can observe the brilliance of magical power, and the mage can naturally detect that there is some abnormal magical power gathering in the sky above the city. However, the city's growing number of spell artifacts had clouded their senses, and Lizzie's pale magic stood out in the bright lights of the city.

No mage would like to observe the magic around them in the Metropolis, as they will be dazzled by the glow of the spell products that dot the streets.

While all substances in the world contain magical powers, the amount in magic artifacts far exceeds that of natural objects. If you have to compare, the difference between the two is roughly equivalent to a candle flickering in the wind and a light bulb lit with electricity, which cannot be compared.

With the development of technology. The various technologies used in magic are also changing rapidly, but new things are interfering with people's perception of magic. This can be inconvenient. But it may also be the inevitable result of the development of the times, so the mages can only choose to adapt to this change.

The flowing black mud contains some magic though. It's just that that the amount of mana is much less than the magic that Lizzie has gathered now, and it will only be hidden in the magic network. Sain Democlera took advantage of this, hiding his spells in the light of the city's various spell artifacts.

The same is true for Curt and Lizzie, who at least don't have to worry about their location being discovered by the mages stationed in the city under the lights of the high-rise buildings. But Lizzie's condensing magic power continued to rise, and the barely concealed magic could not last forever.

"That's enough to tear down a building. ”

Curt observed that the surrounding area was almost condensed into physical magic, and smiled a little awkwardly: "Even if they can't find the 'cocoon' that Sain Democlera made, I don't think it's only a matter of time before those guys from the staffing agency are blind and we are discovered." ”

If you look at it with the naked eye, the magic around the two of them is still loose and misty. Like the silver mist that escapes on the outside. They are also elusive, but most of them have coalesced into a shell to protect the two of them under Liqi's control.

Liqi's eyebrows moved slightly, but she remained silent, devoting all her energy to controlling the spell. The magic that surged in the moonlight slowly focused on the silvery mist around her, changing shape as thin lines stretched out.

"No problem, there's plenty of time left – and it's best to leave a little time for them to know that someone has done something in the city. Well, if they could really trace the path of our movements, it would be thanks to them. ”

Weaving all the remaining blank parts of the Rubik's Cube, Lizzie was finally able to spare the energy to answer Curt. She silently raised her hand to fill in the lines of the last few ancient characters on the ring of words that surrounded the outside. The angular words instantly become a flowing light.

The basics of the Rubik's Cube's operation have been completed, and the rest of the work only needs to let it absorb enough moonlight magic to start running. The magic circuit that absorbed a large amount of moonlight shimmered with a silver glow, as if the moonlight was sprinkled and pulled countless silk threads in the Rubik's Cube.

The accumulated magic grew stronger and stronger, and Curt felt like an electric current was running all over his body. Constantly attacked by a stinging sensation. Not only him, but Liqi who was shrinking in his arms was also affected by the overflowing magic, and the relaxed smile just now could only grit his teeth and barely hold on.

The glow in the Rubik's cube became blinding. The ring of ancient words that swirled around it suddenly shrank, clinging to a position less than half a meter away from the two of them. Draw a blurred line. The vague mist suddenly turned into a solid solid, reflecting a sharp metallic sheen in the moonlight.

Sonor!

A loud metallic sound echoed all around. Curt felt like his body was being hit by a roar. In the next moment, the "shell" that enveloped them suddenly rushed out from under the cover of the silver mist, and they left a bleak trail in the night sky as they moved quickly.

The speed is still increasing, and the rings of ancient words wrapped around the outside will disengage after turning at an angle, allowing the falling spell to accelerate again. Curt and Lizzie were encased in spell shells that were falling like ammunition, and could only watch as they fell faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, the silver glow slammed into the large black cocoon standing in the phantom of the city, unleashing all its power on the target. The light flickered, and the silver that had accelerated many times pierced the shell enveloped in darkness, erupting with a roar even more piercing than when it was fired.

The accumulated mana drifted around, and both the dispatch agency and other mages would notice the unusual change in mana. If in the past it was possible to hinder cognition with the complex magical brilliance of the city, now I am afraid that most people will find the abnormality.

Almost instantly, Curt could feel that several locations in the city were beginning to emit different magical powers, leaving several unrecognizable trails in the air. There was no doubt that the mages stationed in the city followed Lizzie's movements to investigate this abnormal burst of magic.

"It would be nice if they could also find the 'root of the anomaly', so I'd be happy. Curt released Lizzie from his arms and began to look left and right at the world covered in darkness, "It's a tiring project to eradicate this with just the two of us." ”

The scenery before me was disgusting—the sky was black and purple in layers that looked like clouds about to engulf the world, and the outlines of the buildings were covered with heavy flocculents, clinging together like a web of poisonous insects.

It still looks like an image of the city, but it is fundamentally different from the hazy phantoms of the outer world, all of which are eroded by black. Their appearance became steady, and the half-solidified black slime slowly trickled down from the heights like tar, dripping into the shadows of the corners.

A chill suddenly rose from Curt's feet, and the area centered on the central plaza had been eroded by the darkness, and the once elusive apparition had become solid under the influence of the sludge. Although these sludges have not yet shown a specific danger, they are only precipitated on the back of the world.

"Hmph, I don't want to admit it, but that old man's level is much better than I thought. ”

Lizzie touched the black slime around her with her hand, but before she could touch it, it crumbled into countless fragments, "These things are really inanimate - if they were the things we saw in the Eye of Truth stronghold, they would have pounced on them. ”

Curt took a closer look at the silent black mud in the direction she was pointing, they were inactive, and even if Curt tried to touch it, they would only be avoided. In just a few minutes, Curt was already crumbling in the darkness that made up the building in several places.

If it was with Liqi's ability, it would not be impossible to construct a Rubik's cube with the same Cheng dù, but it would be difficult for her to drive it with her own strength. The magic in her body far surpassed that of the average human, even more than most mages - but she couldn't go any further.

Like Curt, their bodies are affected by the same curse, locked in a fixed period of time. Even if you use all kinds of methods to train or refine your magic power, when the "phenomenon" of state return occurs, all the achievements you have achieved before will be lost.

Eventually, exercising hard will be reduced to futility, and for them, not only will death be meaningless, but the body will soon become a prison for them. Although the physical ability is above the average person, if you can't grow, you can only helplessly watch others surpass yourself.

Sain Democlera may have been one of those men, and he had heard from the female archer, who had been a mere researcher. The pitch-black sun changed him, and after absorbing the life force of several Slots, he possessed a great deal of magical power.

He used his magic to set up the Rubik's Cube, and also made it work independently. If you only consider the ability to cast spells and the total amount of mana, he is already above Lizzie - and he has mastered new techniques that have been developed independently on top of ancient spells, which alone surpasses the vast majority of people who use ancient spells.

If it weren't for the fact that they were at odds with each other, Lizzie would have asked Sain Democra about the problems that had plagued her for so long. However, now that they had become enemies, that encounter in the Eye of Truth stronghold meant hostility between the two sides.

In that case, let's just do things to the last minute. (To be continued......)
