The Wizarding Age

The wall in front of me was shaking violently.

In the dark corridor, groups of nightmare creatures rushed past and ran towards the battlefield.

In the shadow above the corridor, which was out of their sight, a palm-sized, inconspicuous black shadow was crawling forward slowly and firmly.

Its body was covered with furry hairs, and its sharp claws gently grasped the gaps between the rocks, and it moved forward silently along the shadow angle on the ceiling.

The battle outside the castle was still very fierce, which could be detected from the trembling of the wall and the speed of the consumption of nightmare creatures.

This was already the fourth floor of the nightmare castle, and the nightmare creatures that emerged from various secret rooms and secret passages had all reached level 3. They were all terrifying monsters that abused one side outside. But here, they were just consumables of a high-level war.

Mary was not as powerful as Grimm, and could not fight Keslin head-on. Therefore, once exposed, what awaits her must be the siege of powerful 3rd-order nightmare creatures.

However, what surprised Mary was that after sneaking in from the third floor of the castle, her actions were unprecedentedly smooth. Although the castle was filled with an astonishing number of nightmare creatures and terrifying magic traps, there seemed to be an invisible god silently instructing her in her brain.

What route should be taken, where are the traps, when should I wait quietly, and when can I pass safely? Under the guidance of that tiny voice, Mary broke through the levels and obstacles, bypassed the lurking sentinels and traps, and actually reached the fourth floor of the castle.

And if she sensed correctly, the rising consciousness core that was fighting a brutal soul battle with Grimm was extending from here.

Not daring to let her spiritual consciousness escape from her body, and not daring to use spiritual perception to scan everything around her, Mary made full use of her bat demon transformation characteristics, hiding all the way, carefully exploring all the way, and finally crawled into a tall and majestic witchcraft hall along the long corridor.

The predecessor of this place may be the core hall of Keslin Castle. There are dense crystal clusters on the central platform, and a black light ball with a diameter of ten meters is suspended on it, connecting itself with various areas of the castle through dark and deep magic light bands.

On the surface of the black ball, there are hundreds of strange magic images floating, all of which are real-time images sent back from various places in the nightmare castle. Among them, the number of battle images in front of the castle is the largest, accounting for almost more than 70% of the magic images.

At this moment, there is a hazy and illusory human-shaped light and shadow standing in front of the central platform.

He looked up at the constantly changing images on the black ball, and his hands danced quickly like dancing. Under his control, the attacks and defenses in various parts of the castle, as well as the flow of huge life energy, were all well-organized and orderly.

Although the human-shaped light and shadow were illusory, a particularly bright halo was flashing on his chest, faintly transmitting a soul fluctuation unique to life.

Keslin's soul core

Mary's heart was hot, and she wanted to climb over from the dome.

But as soon as her mind moved, the strange voice in her mind came out.

"Be careful, the human-shaped phantom is a fake. There are witchcraft traps here. Don't get close!"

Mary's body trembled slightly and stopped immediately.

Being so far away, she would not be able to actively sense the soul breath of the other party, so it was really hard to judge its authenticity.

However, along the way, the voice in her mind had helped her a lot, so Mary chose to believe the other party without hesitation.

"Then what should I do? Time is running out." Mary asked silently in her heart: "Alice, if you know how to do it, just tell me directly, don't play tricks on me!"

The voice in her mind paused for a moment, and finally removed the neutral and low voice, replaced by Alice's sweet and crisp voice.

"Hehe, I'm just afraid that you will hesitate whether I will hurt you!"

"Humph, I don't know whether you will hurt me. But I just need to know that you will never hurt Grimm. So I believe you!" Mary said firmly.

Alice paused slightly, sighed quietly: "You and Grimm meet, and I don't know who is luckier! Ahem, you should..."

Mary didn't want to spend time thinking about and analyzing the other party's complicated psychological changes, but closed her eyes and listened to her plan. In front of the powerful witch of fate, no one can keep or hide their secrets.

Even the newly born Keslin is the same!

As long as she wants, there is no secret that she can't find out. The only difference is whether she is willing to pay the high price to obtain these secrets.

With Alice, the cheating artifact, Mary, who turned into a petite bat, was like a god, shuttling between the dense witchcraft traps and psychic threads. And her target was no longer the human-shaped phantom in the center of the hall, but a small secret room blocked by a tall pillar behind the hall.

The small secret room was only a dozen square meters in size, and the furnishings inside were extremely simple, with only a table and a chair.

And the long-missing wizard Fried sat silently on the wooden chair, with a black dagger stuck in his head, his eyes rolled back, his body trembling, and his mouth still making hoarse dry howls.

Obviously, that Keslin is still in the intense soul fusion with this Fried. If it weren't for the desire to obtain the complete knowledge and memory in Fried's soul, I'm afraid this soul war would have ended long ago.

Mary carefully climbed to the door of the secret room, but was blocked by a thin energy light film here. Although the light film is thin, it has extremely amazing energy intensity. It is quite difficult for an assassin like Mary who relies mainly on agility to break it with one blow.

And with it blocking the door, Mary has no chance to sneak in silently.

Just when Mary was at a loss, Alice's voice sounded again.

"Be prepared! I have communicated with Grimm, and he will launch the most violent attack in 7 seconds. That attack will trigger the energy operation of the Nightmare Castle, making this light film disappear in a flash. You must grasp this time, and use your soul mark to control the other party the first moment you rush in"

"Got it!"

The connection of thoughts is undoubtedly the fastest. Even the most complex and tangled ideas can be communicated with others hundreds or thousands of times in an instant.

So, when the blow that shook the entire castle came, Mary instantly transformed into a human form and rushed into it at the moment when the light film dissipated.

Although her movements were swift, this was after all Keslin's nightmare territory. With the advantage of home court, the blood-colored energy was captured by Keslin who was close at hand as soon as it fluctuated.

The witchcraft hall outside immediately roared with energy, and a terrible mental pressure pushed over like a hill, with the intention of crushing this place into pieces.

In the secret room, Fried's body suddenly shook, and he instantly suppressed all the struggles. He raised his head, and two dazzling strong lights lit up in the depths of his turbid and dim eyes.

Mary didn't have much time to respond!

For top powerhouses like them, it's almost an instant thing to think about it, and the instant reaction when encountering an enemy suddenly is also an indispensable part of instinctive defense. These things don't need to be thought about or hesitated at all. Almost at the moment when Mary's breath leaked, the entire nightmare castle and Keslin's counterattack were ready to go.

The energy film that disappeared for a moment because the aftermath of the war affected the energy transmission reappeared. They spread out from the wall of the door and quickly closed in the center. Perhaps it only takes half a moment for them to reseal the door of the secret room.

At that time, the only way for the invader to attack Keslin is to break this energy film first.

Unfortunately, half a moment is also time.

For Mary, who has super agility, the opponent's quick reaction is still just a funny slow motion in her eyes.

The blood-colored energy that was still at the door of the secret room with a bang last moment, transformed from a small bat demon form to a normal human form. The next moment, Mary's blood-colored figure has passed through the door of the secret room and appeared beside Fried.

Two small tornadoes instantly appeared between the two people and turned into terrible wind vortex blades that wrapped around Mary's body. The wind blades, thin as scales and fast as knives, raged on the surface of her body like a drum knife array. Even with the blood-colored energy protecting her body, Mary's body still had countless tiny wounds, as if she was tortured in an instant.

The wind vortex blades were still expanding and spreading, trying to block all of Mary's attack routes.

Fried's idea was very simple. He used this terrible instantaneous witchcraft to force Mary back and try to buy himself a certain amount of reaction time. With just a flick of his finger, no, just half a flick of his finger, he could mobilize the powerful power of the castle core to protect this body and let his core consciousness escape back to the central crystal smoothly.

Of course, this means that it has to give up this advanced wizard soul of level 4, and it also means that it has also given up the opportunity to impact that terrible threshold in the short term.

Although it is a pity, it did not hesitate at all.

Therefore, the soul is subject to the pain of people, and it is unwilling to try again!

It's just a pity that the enemy it faces today, in addition to the legendary fire witch who is making trouble outside the castle, is also the super-sensitive blood witch of the same level 4. However, the one who really determines its fate is the initiator behind the scenes, the fate witch leader Alice!

Mary had no intention of retreating or dodging, and she actually withstood the opponent's terrible witchcraft that instantly counterattacked, broke through the stranglehold of the wind vortex blade, pounced on Fried's body, and bit his neck fiercely.

At the same time, a strange colorful light poured into Fried's body, and actually forced the newly born Keslin to stay in this body.

No

Fried screamed in shock, and there were obviously two sounds in his hoarse roar.

But no matter how it struggled and roared, the powerful vampire instinct still covered its body consciousness
