The "mysterious queen" Bernadette sat atop a warehouse, wearing black-rimmed glasses, leisurely watching the battle unfold before her.
Those glasses were a magical item; they functioned like a telescope and could even penetrate walls to see inside the warehouse.
The battle between the official extraordinary beings and the "Rose School" was extremely fierce. Shortly after the battle began, all the demigods of the "Rose School" had joined the fight.
Inside the warehouse, all the lifeless objects seemed to come alive at once, attacking the official extraordinary beings.
Fortunately, the official extraordinary individuals had cleared the area in advance, and apart from the stone and the metal platform, there was nothing else in the warehouse.
However, attacks from Sequence 4 "Puppet" and Sequence 3 "Silent Disciple" are still very troublesome.
Suddenly, the bricks on the wall seemed to come alive, squeezing down one by one and bouncing towards the official extraordinary individuals. The clothes of the official extraordinary individuals became their shackles, making it difficult for them to make any moves.
The metal platform holding the stones also came to life, raising its two metal legs and hopping and skipping towards the "silent disciple".
At this moment, the warehouse suddenly became unusually quiet, and everyone seemed to be about to fall asleep at any moment.
Those bricks and clothes that had come to life immediately fell into a deep sleep, no longer attacking or hindering the official extraordinary beings.
On the battlefield, the members of the "Rose School" were also in a semi-conscious state.
Archbishop Anthony Stevenson of the Church of the Goddess of Night joins the battle.
Then, Archbishop Horamik Hayden, dressed in an Intis-style knight's outfit, appeared on the roof beams of the warehouse.
He threw two metal balls with black occult symbols onto the ground. With a soft "pop," the metal balls exploded, spewing out two streams of colorful smoke.
The smoke seemed illusory yet also substantial, beginning to entangle the members of the "Rose School" from near to far.
The smoke was clearly a "gift" that Horamik had prepared specifically for the "Rose School," because neither the "Puppet" nor the "Silent Disciple" could control it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Anthony ordered, "Withdraw."
They had a plan in place. After Anthony gave the order, everyone except the two demigods withdrew and lay in ambush outside the warehouse.
The "Silent Disciple" opened his mouth and uttered a vicious curse at the two archbishops, while the members of the "Rose School" below the level of demigod began to retreat.
Their continued presence here will only be a hindrance.
Bernadette, who was watching from a distance, frowned slightly, her brows furrowing with a touch of heroic spirit. Why hadn't the "Morse Penitentiary" made a move yet?
Now is the perfect time!
When these four demigods are fighting, they only need to send out one demigod to easily obtain the stone.
Bernadette suddenly had a bad feeling. She looked sharply in the direction of Henri Street and realized that she had lost contact with the "invisible servants" that had been placed around Odis.
The "mysterious queen" realized: she'd been tricked!
...
51 Henry Street, the backyard of Gard Herbalist's Shop.
The fire walls burned brighter and brighter, even burning the flowerpots where herbs were planted. These fire walls would not go out until the spiritual energy of the spiritual materials in the magic array was exhausted.
The "astrologer" felt waves of heat rushing towards him, and the stardust in his hand once again produced star-like brilliance, but this time the stardust was blue.
A gust of extremely cold wind blew into the courtyard, causing the temperature inside to plummet and almost extinguishing the fire wall.
The cold wind reached Odis and Aria directly, making them feel icy cold and stiff.
But the wall of fire had bought Odis some time, and he arrived at the "control center" of the "composite magic circle" and infused it with spirituality.
A magic circle composed of illusory symbols and patterns suddenly appeared beneath the feet of the "astrologer." This magic circle severely affected the spirituality around the "astrologer," causing his extraordinary abilities to lose their target and giving him a feeling of insufficient extraordinary power.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Aria took out a scroll and threw it at the "astrologer".
The scroll shattered in mid-air, turning into specks of illusory blue light that enveloped the "astrologer" and instantly froze him into an ice sculpture.
With Odis's "composite magic circle" and Aria's help, holding off this "astrologer" shouldn't be a problem.
But just then, a cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and a light drizzle began to fall.
However, these raindrops were milky white, like milk, which clearly indicated that they were not normal rain.
Odis quickly took off his coat and ran into the house while trying to avoid the rain with Arya.
But after the two of them had only taken two steps, the fire in the courtyard went out completely, and they both felt a strong sense of drowsiness.
For a moment, they didn't want to walk anymore, didn't want to escape anymore, and just wanted to lie down on the ground and get some sleep.
The "prophet" who is sealing off the surrounding space and the spirit world knows very well that time is limited and he must capture Odis as soon as possible!
Odis mustered her strength, reached into the inside pocket of her clothes, dabbed some red powder, and while she was still conscious, stuck out her tongue and licked her middle finger.
Instantly, Odis was sweating profusely from the spiciness, and felt as if her entire mouth was numb from the heat.
What he just put in his mouth was a powder used in conjunction with witchcraft, one of the ingredients of which was powdered "red chili peppers," which was extremely spicy.
At this moment, Odis was torn between drowsiness and intense spiciness.
Then he smeared the powder on his index finger into Aya's mouth, and both of them were sweating profusely and their faces turned bright red from the spiciness.
However, such stimulation only prevented them from falling asleep immediately. They remained in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, slowly sitting on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
The "astrologer" finally broke free from the ice and glared angrily at Odis and Aria.
Before the demigod Alvis, he was actually trapped by a Sequence 6 and a Sequence 7. Although Odis and Aria could hardly harm him, it was still a disgrace to him.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The milky-white rain had stopped, and the "astrologer" only dared to enter the courtyard after smelling a pre-prepared potion.
The stardust in the "astrologer's" hand disappeared, and the order on it was to capture Odis alive, so the "astrologer" dared not use his most powerful abilities.
He took out a magical item he had prepared beforehand—a delicate little mirror—and casually tossed it toward Odis.
The small mirror, suspended in mid-air, suddenly extended several thick strands of hair, instantly wrapping Odis into a black "cocoon" with only her head showing.
Odis still retained a sliver of consciousness. He planned to wait until the enemy was off guard and then pray to the Fool to see if that could solve the problem.
If all else fails, one can only pray to the god of steam and machinery for help, for the god of steam and machinery will never allow the "Hidden Sage" to capture him.
However, if that were the case, the god of steam and machinery would have the opportunity to influence Odis, so Odis would try to avoid taking that step unless absolutely necessary.
The Astrologer grabbed Odis, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and emitted a red glow from his other hand, preparing to kill Arya.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the roof: "This 'secret technique' to seal the spirit world should not be so widespread, so the one hiding in mid-air must be Alvis."
The surrounding spirit world and space trembled slightly, and Bernadette, dressed in a lace shirt and trousers with pale yellow leather boots, appeared in this enclosed space.
Upon hearing that voice, the "astrologer" turned and ran away with Odis on his back!
Hidden in mid-air, Alvis had no idea that the "mysterious queen" would value Odis so much and would notice the blockade so quickly.
His figure appeared, and immediately a phantom, mysterious shadow "reappeared" behind him. It was an angel from the Fourth Age. Alvis had a deep understanding of this angel, so he was able to reproduce him.
Bernadette then took a small box from the void and put on the pale, metallic mask that was inside the box.
After putting on this mask, all of Bernadette's "life" was concealed, and a sense of oppression and suffocation belonging to "death" spread around her.
This was the Level 0 sealed artifact "Pale Death" that Bernadette obtained from her father. Alvis and his "reappeared" figure turned pale white, and an immense pressure caused the demigod to retreat repeatedly.
The "astrologer" who was carrying Odis away from the battlefield suddenly collapsed to his knees as soon as he reached the road outside. His flesh and blood quickly began to turn yellow and rot. In the blink of an eye, a Sequence 5 was reduced to a skeleton and extraordinary traits, without even having time to leave a last word.
Unable to withstand the pressure of "Pale Death" while in mid-air, Alvis immediately jumped into the spirit world. The phantom he summoned disappeared before it could even take effect.
Bernadette did not give chase, but quickly put away her mask. Although the power of a level 0 sealed artifact was terrifying, its negative effects were also terrifying.
Then she waved her hand, and a drop of milky white water emerged from the foreheads of Odis and Aria, instantly waking them up from their drowsiness.
But the spiciness in their mouths started to make them feel excruciatingly uncomfortable!
The black hair that had been tangling around Odis returned to the exquisite little mirror. He put away the mirror and the extraordinary properties of the "astrologer," rushed into the apothecary, got a refreshing and cool potion, drank two mouthfuls, and then used it to rinse his mouth.
Aria rushed in to find medicine, and after a minute or two, they finally felt a little better.
Bernadette sat leisurely on the table and laughed, "Using 'explosive powder' to stay awake, how did you even come up with that idea?"
"There's no other way," Odis said in a hoarse voice. "There aren't many ways to save yourself in front of a demigod."
As he spoke, he handed Bernadette the extraordinary qualities of the "astrologer," but left behind the seal in the form of an exquisite mirror.
