But while enduring the severe pain, Ella also felt a little fortunate. Without the gains from the previous experiment, it would take at least half a year for her to understand this old seal.

Its drawing material is also different from other old seals, requiring the ashes and decayed body fluids of at least three creatures, but fortunately, she successfully drew one during the journey, which gave her a certain ability to resist.

The howling dead soul stretched out the bone palm, a large number of bones spewed out, and quickly took shape. Those monsters made up of the bones of different creatures have good magic resistance and a natural curse. It should also cause a lot of trouble.

But the court mage still maintained his posture, appearing very calm. When the sea of ​​death formed by skeletons was about to engulf her, the sea suddenly separated a passage in the middle.

"The third commandment, all things are mortal, and the souls of the dead must not remain in the world."

In an instant, the sea of ​​death that might have destroyed a small town disappeared.

The skeleton monsters were judged as dead souls by the ring, and quickly disintegrated and scattered. They seemed to have experienced a thousand years, quickly dried up and shattered, and weathered into off-white powder.

Chapter 26 The Ten Commandments of Christians

Ella can hardly move now, using the Unclean has put a great burden on her body, and she can't chant spells. Silent spells are difficult to have an effect on enemies of this level.

What do I need to do to win?

The nameless court mage didn't make any other moves for the time being, she seemed to be able to do a job with ease, as if she was waiting for her opponent's next move.

In fact, as long as the unnamed court mage uses "Siegel" one more time, Ayla loses. She doesn't have a second "Unclean", and even if she does, she doesn't have the energy to use it again.

It's too early to use the Star Ring now. Ella judged that the other party should be able to use the ring ten times. The court mage only needs to use the ring's ability to prevent the illusion from being established, and he can easily get rid of the bondage, right?

Could there be a loophole in such a powerful alchemy item?It must exist. If the court mage sets the rule of [no magic items], Ella will lose all ability to resist, but that will also conflict with the ring itself.

At the same time, it should have some kind of side effect unknown to Ella, but waiting for the onset of side effects is tantamount to resigning to fate.

The brain was running fast, and two paths to victory gradually took shape.

The first is to use more methods to force the court mage to use the ring, until the limit of this alchemy item.This is a bit unrealistic, Ella doesn't have that many cards in hand, and it takes too much time to pray to Yafum, and the opponent who notices the abnormality will inevitably react.

In this way, there is only one method left - a method that is close to gambling!

"give up?"

The nameless court mage smiled, allowing her to use the ring three times was beyond expectations, but after all, it was only to this extent——

Ella moved suddenly, and she took out a piece of parchment again, which was one of her few cards left - the old seal called "Chaos".

In Yusuf's notes, the second type of hieroglyphs recorded is annotated as follows:

[Power comes from rules, we are born with rules, use rules, and fear rules——chaos is the shadow in the cracks of order, but it may itself be part of the rules. 】

As the parchment burned, the space around Ella became blurred and distorted, and the chaos brought by the old seal made this space break away from the power of the ring in a short moment.

Ella quickly chanted some kind of incantation that sent chills down her spine, and took out a copper whistle from her pocket, and blew it vigorously!

After that, the effect of the old seal ends and her mouth is sealed again.

The copper whistle actually made no sound that could be heard by human ears. A prepared meteorite quickly glowed and turned into powder.

There was an ear-piercing roar like iron scraping in the sky, the huge Byakhee fell from the sky, and the shadow covered the two people in the center of the square!

Now she is quite familiar with the first type of talisman recorded in the secret scriptures, and the time required to summon Baiaki has been greatly shortened.

Ella struggled to move her body and lay on the monster's broad back. Byakhe started to run and charged towards the court mage!

The nameless man showed a slightly surprised expression, and the fourth ring began to flash,

"The fourth commandment——"

But only halfway through her words, Ella suddenly opened the five fingers of her left hand, and a dim starlight shone from the inside of the dark ring!

Star Ring!

At this moment, the nameless court mage stopped all movements, as if turned into a stone statue.Ella's plan was successful, and the illusion created by the Star Ring interrupted the other party's proclamation of the fourth commandment. Although she only needed a moment to get out of this state, the court mage is indeed in a defenseless state now!

The outcome has become a complete gamble. If the nameless person leaves the illusory space first, Ayla will lose.

She must be defeated before that!

The girl screamed. She rarely made such a loud noise, but she felt like she was burning. Silence would make the smoldering fire burn away her internal organs!

The last bit of reason made her order Bayaki to put away her claws and just knock her away. This duel should not end with the death of one party.

The dull eyes of the court mage suddenly regained clarity, and a shield made of ice appeared in front of her.

Amidst the tooth-piercing sound, the ice layer shattered, and the body of the nameless person was thrown backwards!

But Ella's heart sank. The opponent adjusted his posture in mid-air and stretched his body. That's not something a seriously injured person can do.

The court mage landed on the ground and suddenly made an action that Ella couldn't understand. She smiled and stretched her hands forward, with her palms facing forward and her five fingers pointing upward.

"I surrender."

Ella was stunned, the other party obviously still had more energy, that is to say——she let the water go.

The audience fell into a dead silence. The magic duel just now was far beyond imagination, which almost subverted their understanding of magic, causing everyone to fall into complete shock.After a long time, Jazz came back to his senses and announced:

"The winner is, Ella Williams Bell!"

After a few short seconds of suppression, warm cheers came from all around.

"Unbelievable, Ella actually did it!"

Lily exclaimed, and hugged the dumbfounded Ashley. The latter blushed from being strangled by the neck, and sighed blankly for a long time,

"She defeated the legendary court mage!"

Ella in the square resisted the dizziness coming from her head, dispelled the magic that summoned Byakhe, and she walked forward to shake hands with him.

"...why let me win?"

The gentle lady smiled helplessly, spread her hands and answered,

"The side effects will get worse every time you use a ring, I really don't plan to use it after the fifth ring."

This is obviously an excuse. Even without using the ring, she can easily win against Ella who cannot chant spells.

"What kind of alchemy item is that? What is its name, and what are its side effects?"

Ayla asked, regardless of the power of the shadow itself, the improvement brought by this alchemy item even surpassed the Eye of Hermes, which was the legacy of the prophet Sibylla.

"It's called the 'Ten Commandments of Christians'. The ten rings are considered as a whole. Every time you use a rule, you will be bound by a certain rule within a day. For example, now I [do not drink alcohol], [do not sleep] ,【Not to be deceived】...If you use the next few rings, the rules you have to bear are even more unbearable."

The court mage showed a distressed expression as he spoke, which was not considered deception, at most it was concealing part of the content.

"And you seem to have some reason to win?"

After quickly drinking a few bottles of medicine to relieve the pain, Ella bowed and said,

"Well - anyway, I want to thank you... Also, I want to know, what do you really know about Glamis?"

This is what she cares most about.

Chapter 27 Celebration

"Actually, I don't know much—I saw this word in my notes. It should be a place I've been to, that's all."

Said the nameless court mage.She didn't show any emotional fluctuations, and the name Kraft was as light as a feather to her.

Ella was taken aback for a moment, she couldn't accept the other party's attitude at all, and asked in amazement,

"Didn't you lose your memory? There may be a name you forgot, maybe it was the hometown you once lived in?"

Not very likely, Ella can almost conclude that the court mage in front of her must be a wizard from Kraft, and the magic she uses is fundamentally different from that of the people of Snow Country.

"so what."

The lady also couldn't understand Ella's persistence.

"The Land of Snow is also my hometown."

"But your friends, family, or lover may be there, right? You don't want to go back?!"

"Why should I go back? The memory of the past has long been blurred. I have lived in this country for at least hundreds of years. You also have friends or acquaintances in the Snow Country—don't those people have any value to you? "

She looked at the hysterical girl in front of her, her expression unchanged, and then she suddenly smiled.

"At least you have confirmed one thing for me. Kraft is a real place, not just a wild fantasy after my memory is blurred. For me, this is enough."

Ella was speechless, she could not refute what the court mage said.

At this time, salutes were fired, the dark sky was lit up by fireworks of various colors, and the orchestra played cheerful celebration music again.

The duel as the opening ceremony was over, and the smooth ice lake square was restored, and the attendants and maids quickly carried the long table to the square, with flowers and rich food and wine on the white cloth.

What was once a gladiatorial arena quickly became the center of a grand dinner party.

"Winner please go to the terrace."

Looking at the court mage who took a step back and showed a calm smile, Ella already understood that the other party is different from herself. She reported her last hope and asked,

"Then...if you win, what wish do you plan to make?"

"I don't have anything in particular. I just saw something familiar and wanted to reminisce about it—if I have to say it, maybe I want to ask His Majesty for a few days of vacation?"

-

Ella was silent for a long time, finally nodded, and followed the overly fancy-dressed envoy to the balcony of the palace.

This is the highest place in the snow country, and you can enjoy the scenery of the whole city.

She stepped forward and knelt down on one knee alongside the knight in full-face armor.

pop, pop

The Snow King clapped his hands, and with a smile on his face, he sincerely praised,

"Two fantastic duels, the best celebration in 300 years."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"So, first of all, Hearst, [you] haven't participated in this kind of activity for a long time, right?"

"Yes, we just found a very good knight... It's just an itchy hand for a while."
