Dark clouds rolled up outside, and rumbling thunder sounded low.

With a sound of lightning falling, the Great Guardian with a layer of electric light rushed over with the griffin.

He asked in a deep voice to Shafiya, the Grand Inquisitor who had stopped outside the house, "Your Excellency Shafiya...... Am I late? ”

"Sort of."

Shafiya yawned, lacking interest: "But it's not a big problem. You just have to stay outside, you can't stand inside. ”

In her opinion, it is impossible for three transcendents of the same level with home field advantage to besiege a fifth-level transcendent who is about to die of old age and is not yet fighting at home.

She's only here because Meg lacks the ability to move at high speeds.

Whether it's the Great Guardian or Master Janis, they all have the ability to move instantaneously. Although Meg is extremely powerful, she, like the Grand Justice, does not have the mysterious skills to reach the battlefield quickly.

And compared to Grand Justice, Meg, who is the strongest in Avalon, can't even fly. When she was on the battlefield before, Meg was able to stop fighting for a day, and she also relied on Shafiya's assistance.

It's just that Shafiya doesn't like to be in the limelight - she is very conscious of being a supporter, that is, not to let the other side know that you are a supporter.

She wasn't going to make a move this time, she was just going to move her fingers a little and send Meg over, and then she was on the outside and watching.

As long as the bone carving didn't plan to run away or do something big, she wouldn't make a move. Otherwise......

As soon as she thought of this, she keenly felt that the power of the path had become more and more violent.

“…… You really like to get me in trouble. ”

Shafiya, who was completely too lazy to move, looked into the room in disgust and raised the staff in her hand.

- Spell Counter.

There is no need for chanting and no complicated movements. Shafiya just thought about it, and a white triangle symbol filled with a labyrinthine curve suddenly lit up in front of the staff.

It emits a sound as crisp and melodious as striking a triangle, and then instantly blurs and disperses into a ghosted tricolored rainbow light.

The huge mana fluctuations that had just risen in the room like a tsunami were wiped out the moment they just raised their heads. It's like seeing that the waves have risen up, but suddenly lose their form and fall directly into water.

It's as if everything just now was just an illusion.

“…… It's really giving me face. Or is Ivus's face so big? ”

While asking stupid words that want the other party to answer to distract the other party, the no-gesture and no-chanting spell that was secretly released was suddenly interrupted by the most inconspicuous of Shafiya.

The chaotic mana raged in his body, and the intense pain made the bone eagle couldn't help but gasp: "There are only four fifth-level transcendents loyal to the Avalon royal family, and now there are four ...... people who are crouching on me."

It's nothing more than him attacking Queen Sophia directly!

No, maybe there won't be so many people who will be able to make it to the queen in the first place......

"Hold it back, Master Graham."

The grave voice of the Great Guardian came from outside the house with rolling thunder: "You can't escape no matter what.

"Master Janis is familiar with the means of your path of beauty, and Lord Shafiya can counter your spells, and I can catch up with you no matter how fast you run. Not to mention, you couldn't beat Ms. Meg in the first place.

"If you surrender now, we can guarantee your safety. After all, it's not easy to be promoted to the fifth level, and we need your intelligence......"

"—too long-winded."

Meg interrupted the archguardian's voice of reason, "Don't bother talking so much. ”

She looked at the bone sculpture and narrowed her eyes: "I said you...... Kill my students, huh? ”

She resonated with the power of the path, her pupils radiating a majestic silver-white light, and her pupils turned into cold and merciless vertical pupils.

Silvery-white illusory scales appeared on Meg's body, emitting a ghostly rainbow light.

The old lady said unceremoniously: "Then, let's die first." ”

The power of majesty fluctuates in the void.

The next moment, without hesitation, the bone eagle reversed the bone staff in his hand, pierced its tip into his chest, and pierced his heart.

The power of dusk contained in the bone staff suddenly exploded. The bone staff, which had been white and eerie but with a slight sense of sacredness, suddenly lost its brilliance and became dirty, dull, and yellow like an ordinary backbone. Immediately, under the stabbing of the bone carving with all its might, it disintegrated directly.

All the power in it was channeled into the bone carving's heart, instantly petrifying his heart.

But even so, there was a broken bone in his chest and a petrified heart. But the bone carving still did not die.

I saw that his pupils suddenly became hollow, and his whole person became as stiff as a puppet.

Immediately afterward, a layer of stone luster appeared on his skin. It was as if it was not a bone sculpture standing here, but a statue he had made for himself.

His steps were unusually nimble, and in an instant, he had taken dozens of steps, wrapped in a hurricane, and smashed the second-floor wall like tofu.

The bone carving did not retreat, but advanced, and rushed directly at Shafiya.

His steps are so strange that if you keep staring at him, you will hallucinate that he is further back from the ground than he really is. It's about a second or so slower than his actual position, which in turn is tantamount to hiding his true position and movements.

This is an assassination technique that comes from adapting to the path!

The bone carving is very clear. If he didn't kill or repel Shafiya, who was proficient in spell countermeasures, he probably wouldn't be able to cast even a spell.

Whether it is the path of beauty or the path of twilight, it is a pure path of magic. And his greatest strength is the path of beauty.

He had just tried to awaken the statues in the city and cause chaos, but the spell had just been generated and was countered.

It was an unpleasant feeling—chaotic mana running through his body, not only losing the mana he used to cast spells, but even causing damage to his own body.

But in the face of his charge, Shafiya was not panicked.

It's not so much calmness as "no sorrow and no joy".

- Ah, I knew it.

As long as I go out, I will definitely work overtime......

The Great Guardian raised his voice, "Be careful! ”

His griffon suddenly led him to the middle of Shafiya and the bone eagle, intending to block the blow for her.

However, Shafiya just stood there and shook her staff, and the silver-white chains emerged from the void, tightly wrapping the bone sculpture that had been turned into a stone statue.

- Choke!

The chains tightened immediately, pulling the charging bone eagle to a sudden halt.

And a black halo suddenly appeared on the body of the bone carving stone—it was the color of steel.

His joints cracked, and scorching steam spewed out of them with flames.

First the smoke and then the smoke mixed with the flames. It only took a moment for the flames to stabilize and turn into tiny blue beams of fire.

The chains tightened to the limit, then snapped.

The Great Guardian took Philip to block the blow, but only snorted. Philip took a half-step back.

He was about to fight back, but more chains were wrapped in dense, layer after layer. He didn't dare to break Shafiya's control, so he held the crackling thunder spear and stopped there.

And Meg's voice also came from behind: "[De-petrify], [Give up resistance]." ”

The power of authority spreads like the roar of a dragon—it is the dragon's blood law, the power Meg has gained from the ritual of bathing in dragon blood.

In an instant, the taut silver chains tightened suddenly.

The enemy that had been fighting so hard suddenly became weak, and blood burst out from the cracks of the chains.

And as the chains made a sharp grinding sound and gradually turned, the body of the bone carving was directly ground by Shafiya's chains!

The chains spun like this for more than ten seconds before finally stopping.

By the time they had dispersed, some of the chains had turned scarlet. And the bone carving in the middle has turned into a puddle of rotten meat.

“…… Is it over? ”

The Great Guardian asked cautiously, holding the Thunder Spear.

"Not yet."

Janis's voice rang out, "He's fled—but not far, he's still nearby."

"One of all the statues he made held a backup of his soul, and a third of his soul was inside. But strictly speaking, that's not actually him.、It's just a backup from a week ago......"

"Master Janis, how can we tell the difference?"

The Great Guardian asked solemnly and politely.

Meg said angrily: "Just hit it all once!" He's the one who dares to fight back - I'll have something to do in a while, move faster! ”

"That's not necessary, and he can't do it yet. Just smash the statue and you're good to go. ”

Janis's smiling voice came, "Because I found it a week ago." ”

“…… You already knew it was him? ”

Meg raised an eyebrow and asked at the elf in the painting, "That's why Your Majesty asked us to protect Ivas tonight?" ”

"There must be proof, after all, he is also a big man in Iris...... And I, as the spirit of the church, cannot help any party with a clear attitude. It's something that's internal to the human race - but when he comes to the door himself, it's different. Janis said with a smile.

She always knew a lot, but she didn't want to say anything. Or maybe it can't be said.

"So where is his statue?"

—the same statue he had made for Sophia a few years earlier. The statue to be placed in the Chapel of St. Genevele. ”

Janis said.

On the other side, in Isabel's bedroom.

Under the teacher's reminder, she had already dressed and was very energetic and waiting for the arrival of Ehuas.
