Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

East Borough, Black Palm Street.

The battle between demigods gradually intensified. Horamick stared intently at Bernadette's phantom. The air around her suddenly became thin, and a tremendous force was compressing her, rendering her immobile.

This was an attack launched by Horamick using his research into air and mechanics.

Selt raised a hand and said, "Execution!"

A phantom guillotine instantly appeared before Bernadette. Before she could react, Bernadette, immobilized by Horamick, had already appeared on the guillotine, her body secured by phantom ropes and instruments of torture.

The giant axe on the guillotine fell, severing her phantom head.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the stiff "Lady of Despair" finally retrieved her head from the "Invisible Servant" and reattached it to her neck.

Whoosh~

A beautiful flame suddenly enveloped Horamick and Selt. The phantom giant axe had struck nothing.

"The Little Match Girl"!

They had attacked a phantom created by Bernadette.

At this moment, a phantom spinning wheel appeared in mid-air. Without any external force, the spinning wheel was working on its own.

Especially its spindle, which looked very beautiful and eye-catching.

The next second, the spindle appeared in Selt's hand. He lowered his head and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Not only him, but also Coremonde, hanging on the giant beanstalk, and his two severely injured subordinates on the street, all fell into a deep sleep.

Even the rats on the street, the people in the surrounding houses, and even the giant beanstalk, immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The only ones who did not fall asleep were Audis and Horamick.

To be precise, Horamick also fell asleep for a moment, but it was not the Archpriest's main body, but a carefully crafted puppet, so he was awakened again.

Horamick stretched his neck, imitating the rooster's crow at dawn. The sound was very clear, as if it revived everything!

The instant this demigod crowed, Selt had already awakened and said to Bernadette's phantom, "Deprivation!"

Bernadette instantly felt that her abilities of "Foresight" and "Divination" were gone.

This made her realize that although she could still protect herself and Audis under the attacks of two demigods,

Horamick and Selt, both Sequence 3, would soon gain the upper hand as time passed.

So she stretched out her right hand, which then disappeared into the air.

When her right hand reappeared, it held a wooden box with intricate patterns. This was the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact she controlled, "Pale Death."

Upon donning the mask, Bernadette instantly lost any trace of being alive.

And Horamick and Selt both felt tremendous pressure!

Just then, Audis finally said, "That's enough, let's go!"

The spirituality in the spiritual materials forming the ritual array had been almost exhausted, and many symbols began to fall off. The strong wind was gradually diminishing.

Audis estimated that even if the "Lady of Despair" started to make the mist thicker again, only a few people would die.

Bernadette, wearing "Pale Death", raised a hand, and a tranquil river immediately appeared on the street. It seemed to be in reality, yet also in illusion, and even more like flowing alternately between reality and illusion.

The river did not appear wide at first, but under its obstruction, Bernadette and Audis, as well as Horamick and the others, seemed to be immediately separated by a great distance, as far as the gap between life and death.

Bernadette pulled Audis in front of her and grabbed his arm. At this moment, a figure with feminine grace was quickly outlined between them.

That figure wore a hood, a dark classical robe, and had a handsome face, but without the slightest expression. Her black eyes were dark and deep, like a pool without a bottom.

The river that the "Mysterious Queen" had just summoned instantly turned into bubbles, and the distance between the few people returned to the distance in reality.

Bernadette was "very unlucky" to have her "Foresight" ability deprived, otherwise she would have sensed something and left in advance.

At this moment, time seemed to suddenly freeze, and the demigods had even forgotten to escape.

Audis secretly said "Bad!" He was "too unlucky." His previous estimate was too optimistic, and as a result, he failed to escape.

At this moment, Audis wanted to remind Bernadette how powerful this "gentle woman" was, but he seemed to see the thing he feared most, and thus trembled all over, unable to move, unable to even say a single word.

The hooded female figure first looked at the "Lady of Despair", who had just recovered from Bernadette's "Reappearance".

She seemed to turn into a pencil drawing, quickly erased by a rubber, disappearing without resistance.

Bernadette, wearing the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, used the Sealed Artifact to resist the other party's tremendous pressure. She finally grabbed Audis's arm and was about to leave, when the two were also quickly erased and disappeared from the spot.

Next were Selt and Coremonde, and finally Horamick.

After the Beyonders here disappeared, the hooded figure instantly faded and disappeared from the spot.

… …

The underground of the Lever Church.

Sitting in the chair, the real Horamick suddenly opened his eyes: "The Church of the Night Goddess took Audis away?"

Then, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and activated another puppet in the office, ordering it to rush to Black Palm Street in the East Borough immediately.

… …

"Ah~"

Audis fell from the sky, and the mountains below were becoming clearer and clearer. His scream was purely an instinctive reaction.

In the sky, he saw a huge and towering snow mountain. The mountain was almost as steep as a right-angled cliff.

In the middle of this mountain, there was a thin and long canyon, as if it had been split out with an axe.

At the foot of the cliff-like mountain, there seemed to be something very terrifying, causing Audis to turn his head away, not daring to look closely.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ground, Audis quickly sprinkled a handful of transparent powder and used "Flight".

Although he was a bit embarrassed, he finally landed safely.

At this time, he was under the towering mountain, and the huge steep snow mountain gave him a huge sense of oppression.

So he simply stopped looking at the high mountain and looked at the sky instead.

The sky was full of stars, even very bright, able to illuminate everything on the ground!

As far as the eye could see, it was barren, without any vegetation, and seemingly without any human buildings or traces of human activity.

Then Audis came back to his senses: Is this another prison of the Goddess?

He originally thought that he would enter "Mist Town." According to the "information" he had, he could get out of there relatively easily with Bernadette's help, but he didn't expect to come to a place that was very unfamiliar to him.

He looked around, guessing the "Night Goddess's" intention.

This fellow townsman's many arrangements have always been far-sighted. She definitely didn't bring herself here for sightseeing, nor would she let herself starve to death here.

For the "Night Goddess", killing a Sequence 7 is a very easy thing, there is no need to go to such great lengths.

At this time, Audis saw a black dot moving in the distance.

He immediately became alert. After distinguishing it by the starlight, he determined that it should be a person, and not Bernadette.

Then Audis sighed: This place is too big! This snow mountain has no visible boundaries, and the wasteland in front of the snow mountain also seems to extend very, very far.

The other party also discovered Audis, so they stopped moving and began to carefully observe.

The two stood like this for more than ten seconds, and the other party started moving again, cautiously approaching Audis.

Audis suddenly became a little nervous, guessing whether that guy was a creature here? Or a prisoner here?

After half a minute, Audis recognized the other party, it was actually Coremonde!

No mistake, the first one to send is one inside, one tolerating, one looking!

He actually came in too!

Wouldn't the demigod of "Military Intelligence Section 9" also come in?

Coremonde obviously also recognized Audis. After a pause, he continued forward, because Audis was just a Sequence 7, while he was a Sequence 6.

Audis took a step back, pretending to flee in panic.

But his hand quietly reached into the cloth bag he carried with him.

"Imprisonment!" Coremonde ran faster and quickly caught up, using his Beyonder ability to "imprison" Audis.

Finally caught this guy!

But Coremonde then smiled bitterly. Now he didn't know where he was? Nor did he know how to leave here?

Catching Audis was no longer of much significance. The only significance might be to kill him and avenge his younger brother.

But at this time, Coremonde hesitated again, because when he was falling just now, he also felt the terrifying aura from the snow mountain.

What if his power couldn't leave here? What if he needed Audis's ability later?

While he was thinking, he approached Audis.

Suddenly, Coremonde noticed that the corner of Audis's mouth curled up, revealing a smile.

The alarm bells rang loudly in his heart!

He saw Audis take out his hand from the cloth bag. There was an extra black glove on his hand: "Imprisonment!"

That was the "Hand of Judgment", a Sealed Artifact that matched the Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight". Coremonde was instantly "imprisoned" in place?

"Death!" Odyss had been waiting for the opponent to approach. At this moment, the distance between the two was just right. Odyss threw a punch, and it looked like it was about to hit Raymond.

"Deprivation!" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, "depriving" Odyss of the power to declare Raymond's "death." The voice came from Selt, the demigod of "Military Intelligence Division Nine."

Odyss's attack turned into an ordinary punch, causing almost no damage to Raymond.

Raymond immediately revealed a relaxed smile. Chief Selt had also arrived, so he didn't have to worry about being trapped here.

Selt hadn't forgotten his mission. He was about to "interrogate" Odyss when suddenly, a layer of illusory fence appeared in front of Odyss.

On this fence, morning glory flowers were blooming.

It completely blocked the enemy outside, giving Odyss a great sense of security, even a sense of leisure, as if he were in his own yard, looking out.

Selt looked at the distant illusory figure for a while: "Withdraw."

Raymond immediately moved away from the fence wall at the fastest speed.

Selt was very cautious and did not immediately engage in conflict, but chose to retreat.

Bernadette was also very restrained, because she had already taken off "The Pale Death." Obviously, in an unknown environment, they were unwilling to continue the previous battle.

After the other party had gone far away, Odyss also breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope Horamick hasn't been sent here."

That would turn into a three-on-two situation. If Bernadette won, she would have to pay a certain price.

"Where is this place? I can't even sense the Spirit World or the Astral World?" Bernadette didn't remove the fences, still letting that circle of fence walls surround the two.

Odyss told the truth: "I don't know either."

Bernadette asked again: "Was the one who sent us here an angel? An angel from the Church of the Night Goddess?"

"It seems so," Odyss followed up, "but the other party's expression didn't look like a living person."

After all, this was the "Night Goddess's" divine kingdom. If he were to reveal the origin of that sealed artifact so easily, there might really be no chance to get out.

"I saw in an ancient document that the 'Night Goddess' seems to have a prison-like place. I wonder if this is it," Odyss thought that this information didn't need to be concealed.

Bernadette looked at the desolate plain and then at the snow-capped mountains that stretched out of sight: "This place does indeed seem like a prison."

Then she asked: "How do we get out?"

Odyss spread his hands: "I don't know either."

This was the truth. If it were in "Mist Town," "escaping from prison" would only be a matter of time, but this place was different, making Odyss feel a little at a loss.

Bernadette looked towards the snow-capped mountains: "The exit is likely to be over there, but it must be very dangerous."

Or rather, precisely because it was dangerous there, there was hope of getting out.

Odyss said: "We can wait a while."

Bernadette smiled slightly: "I think so too."

What they were waiting for was for Selt and the others to search or try first. It wouldn't be too late to go over if they heard any movement.

So the two of them stayed inside the illusory fence, looking at the majestic snow-capped mountains.

"If we ignore the dangers and strangeness here," Bernadette said, "the scenery here is still very good."

"Indeed, building a small building here and looking at the mountains in your spare time," Odyss also followed up, "Alas, what a pity, I have a busy life, and I don't have this kind of leisure time at the moment."

Bernadette didn't say anything, because she found that she also seemed to have a lot of things to be busy with and hadn't taken a vacation to relax for a long time.

Odyss then changed the subject: "Such a good starry sky, let's talk about something… Hey, why is the starry sky gone?"

The light of the stars suddenly dimmed rapidly, and a terrifying force suddenly enveloped this land.
