Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Bernadette and Audis carefully discussed the upcoming plan and, after confirming there were no major loopholes, Bernadette dispelled the isolated communication space.

At this moment, the voice of the "Nether Emperor" echoed in their ears again, but this time His voice was somewhat stern: "You were so close to the magic circle just now, why didn't you destroy it?"

Audis was taken aback. In order not to alert the enemy, he could only continue to stabilize the "Nether Emperor": "There's a demigod from the Church of the Night Goddess beside the magic circle. If I act rashly, I'll die."

"You don't need to worry about him. He won't dare to take any action now," the "Nether Emperor" said.

"Then I'm relieved," Audis lied without hesitation. "I'll go to the magic circle later and definitely destroy it."

The voice said, "Actually, you can go now."

"No," Audis said seriously. "If I walk a few steps in the water, I'll sink into the river. My personal death is nothing, but you'll have to continue waiting."

He didn't give the other party a chance to bargain: "Does that 'Chaos Hunter,' Selt, also know that he needs to destroy the magic circle to release you?"

"Yes."

Audis thought to himself: No wonder they didn't suspect anything when I mentioned there was a magic circle there.

But he said aloud: "Those two people are not trustworthy. They clearly know that destroying the magic circle will release you, but they didn't even approach the magic circle to explore just now."

In fact, it was because the "Mysterious Queen" was guarding there that they didn't dare to approach.

"They are indeed not as trustworthy as you," the "Nether Emperor" said, not knowing whether He really thought so or was just dealing with Audis.

Audis asked again: "Besides the 'Witch Sect' supporting the Bayam Empire back then, which other families or organizations supported you?"

"The Blood Sect," the "Nether Emperor" replied. "Also, Tolzna and the 'Moss Ascetics,' the 'Redemption Rose' also sent an angel, as well as descendants of the Tudor family, and several angels not recognized by the Six Gods.

"Some of them are of the 'Hunter' pathway, some are of the 'Fate' pathway, and some are of the 'Black Emperor' pathway."

Audis recalled that Tolzna was the "God of Bound," the one who created the Rose School.

And that angel of the "Fate" pathway, could it be the "Serpent of Fate" currently "restarting" in Backlund?

But now it seems that the alliance formed by the "Nether Emperor" at that time was all the evil gods and their evil organizations of today.

This is also a manifestation of "the winner is king and the loser is bandit" in the extraordinary world.

Bernadette asked: "Why did the 'Moss Ascetics' participate in your alliance?"

In the information she collected, the "Pale Era" didn't seem to have the presence of the "Moss Ascetics," and this organization rarely participated in the disputes of the extraordinary world.

The "Nether Emperor" said: "Because the 'Hidden Sage' has a deep animosity towards the 'God of Craftsmen.' To a certain extent, the 'God of Craftsmen' was forced to become a god early due to the pressure from the 'Hidden Sage.'"

Audis slowly nodded. He remembered that the process of the "God of Craftsmen" advancing to a deity was indeed a bit rushed. It seemed that He had forcibly advanced before fully digesting the Sequence 1 "Enlightener" potion.

Therefore, until the Fifth Epoch, the "Church of the God of Craftsmen" was the weakest of the seven orthodox churches.

More than a hundred years ago, after Rosell began to rule, the "God of Craftsmen" boarded the fast train of the "Industrial Revolution" and changed His name to "God of Steam and Machinery." His state improved and became as powerful as the other six orthodox gods.

It's just that Audis didn't expect that the "Hidden Sage" gave the "God of Steam and Machinery" so much pressure back then.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, during the Fourth Epoch, the "God of Steam and Machinery" was still a Sequence 1, while the "Hidden Sage" was an activated Uniqueness, and may have even absorbed a Sequence 1 characteristic.

An Angel King fighting a Grand Angel naturally has a considerable advantage.

Audis wanted to ask some other questions, but the "Nether Emperor" said: "This time, I will actively cooperate with the power of the seal to bring the starry sky back a little earlier.

"Come and destroy the magic circle as soon as possible!"

Audis agreed, but thought in his heart: I will indeed go as soon as possible, but to repair the magic circle and try to completely seal you.

When the power of the starry sky returned again, the river receded, and the desert reappeared, Bernadette smiled and said: "This 'Nether Emperor' is very persistent, and perhaps because of His incomplete sanity, He seems to lack wisdom."

Audis said: "Perhaps so.

"I guess as soon as I approach the magic circle and reach out to destroy it, He will be able to completely break free from the seal by using me as a medium."

The platform made of pea vines quickly lowered, sending the two people to the ground.

Bernadette nodded: "That's very possible."

When evil gods make requests, they will definitely not explain their true purpose. Generally speaking, as long as you do what the evil god tells you to do, you will definitely fall into His trap.

The two people reunited with Selt and Coremonde, and Audis said: "Time is tight, let's start taking action quickly, shall we?"

Coremonde on the opposite side thought: Why did you look like you weren't in a hurry at all just now?

According to the previous negotiation, Audis came to Selt's side, while Selt took out the two sealed artifacts on his body and asked Coremonde to hand them over to Bernadette for temporary safekeeping.

These two sealed artifacts, one corresponds to the Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl" of the "Lawyer" pathway, and the other corresponds to the Sequence 5 "Traveler" of the "Apprentice" pathway.

The former is a sealed artifact that the royal family temporarily allowed him to use, and the latter is Selt's personal collection.

When Selt rushed to Chaplin's villa before, he used this sealed artifact that corresponds to the "Traveler." Later, when Coremonde captured Audis, Selt specially lent this sealed artifact to him for use.

Of course, as the head of "Military Intelligence 9," and also a duke, he certainly has more than two sealed artifacts.

However, among his collections, these two sealed artifacts are the most practical and have the smallest negative effects.

For Selt, these two sealed artifacts are currently not very useful. First of all, there is no connection to the spirit world here, so the sealed artifact with the "Traveler" ability is useless.

In addition, he is very clear that even with the sealed artifact that corresponds to the "Fallen Earl," he cannot defeat the "Mysterious Queen." In order to leave here as soon as possible, it is better to use this sealed artifact to gain the trust of the "Mysterious Queen" first.

He can suddenly change his mind later and take back the sealed artifact by threatening Audis when Audis's magic circle is half drawn.

If the "Mysterious Queen" has set up any traps, he will immediately grab Audis as a threat.

However, Selt never imagined that he himself was part of the new magic circle.

The three people slowly moved forward. When they saw the corpse wearing the robes of the Church of the Night Goddess, Selt made a gesture to let the other two people wait.

This "Chaos Hunter" used his ability to turn a large area around him into his own "domain."

After learning that the corpse was harmless, they continued forward.

Coming to the magic circle again, Audis and Coremonde tried hard to resist the leaking "aura of death," while Selt was relatively calm, as if he was not greatly affected.

When they were still some distance away from the magic circle, Selt stopped Audis again: "Explain it here."

"Okay," Audis faced Selt: "See over there? The magic circle over there has basically lost its effectiveness. I will add a small magic circle outside later to temporarily replace the leakage of the power of the regional cemetery on the entire left side of the magic circle.

"Then you need to inject a large amount of spirituality into that magic circle…"

Selt listened to Audis's explanation, appearing very serious on the surface, and occasionally seeming to think about it, making it seem quite plausible.

But he basically didn't understand what Audis was talking about, so he could only look at the magic circle drawn by Audis first.

At the end, Audis smiled and said to Selt: "I'll borrow something from you for a while."

Selt looked at the old magic circle and casually asked: "What thing?"

"You'll know in a while."

At this time, Selt's attention was on the magic circle, so he didn't take it too seriously.

After Audis "explained clearly," their plan officially began.

Audis took out the spiritual materials and pen he carried with him and drew a small magic circle: "Please put your hands or feet in these two places, and then inject spirituality."

Selt carefully looked at the magic circle and saw that it did seem to have the appearance of preventing the "unextinguished whispers" from descending on part of the magic circle.

He had seen the magic circle provided by the military and knew that the magic circle was not the original diagram, so it was difficult to use it again.

Seeing that Audis seemed to have solved the problem of the magic circle without much effort, this made Selt also have a certain interest in the original diagram of the magic circle.

Because he felt that the magic circle was a bit familiar, Selt did not suspect anything and stood in the position designated by Audis, and began to inject spirituality into the magic circle.

Audis and Coremonde suddenly felt relieved, because the "aura of death" suddenly weakened a lot.

Selt also immediately felt that he was fighting against a huge force. If he were not a demigod, it would indeed be difficult to resist such an impact.

Until this time, Selt had put down most of his guard and even winked at Coremonde, asking him to keep a close eye on Audis.

Just then, Audis very naturally took two steps back, and then coughed twice as if clearing his throat.

Then, the "aura of death" in front of them suddenly became fierce, Audis no longer concealed it, sprinkled "flying powder" and used "Flight."

Sert's eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to attack Audis, he felt as if he were facing a torrent of "death aura." The slightest distraction would cause his entire body to stiffen, as if his own body no longer belonged to him.

At that moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: Destroy the magic circle! Revive myself!

Before Sert entered the magic circle, it was as if he was standing on the riverbank, able to advance or retreat freely, but now that he had waded into the torrent, he could no longer escape whenever he wanted.

One careless move and he would be swept away by the torrent, submerged in the fierce "death aura."

This was an important step in Audis's plan, using the power leaking from the tomb to temporarily trap Sert; otherwise, even if Bernadette could defeat Sert, it would be difficult to completely kill him in this vast wilderness.

"Exile!" Sert "exiled" that strange thought, and a phantom figure floated out of his body. He appeared to have the facial features of a Southern Continent male, covered in dark green scales, looking quite hideous and terrifying.

This was the power formed by the aura of the "Nether Emperor," which could only exist for a short time.

With this delay, Audis had already flown a distance away.

His goal was also very clear: to fly to the side of that corpse, as the following battle was not something a Sequence 7 could participate in.

At this time, Sert had to use most of his energy to deal with the "death aura" surging from the magic circle, but he still had the strength to attack. Just as he reached out his hand towards Audis, he suddenly felt a huge pressure coming from behind.

He turned his head slightly, glancing with his peripheral vision. Bernadette had already put on her metal mask again, and she seemed to have lost any trace of a living person's aura.

The person formed by the aura of the "Nether Emperor," who had just been driven out, suddenly became very docile under the Sequence 1 level of pressure displayed by Bernadette.

His body suddenly grew larger and longer. In an instant, his upper body was still a human covered in scales, but his lower body had turned into a snake body several meters long.

The scales on the snake body were dark and shiny. Korey Monde only glanced at it and his whole body stiffened, unable to move.

After receiving Bernadette's order, the "Snake Man" immediately went to entangle Sert, once again blocking his attack.

"Imprison!" Sert immediately imprisoned the "Snake Man" in front of him, and then prepared to exert force, temporarily blocking the torrent of "death aura," breaking free from the magic circle and immediately escaping from here. He had no time to care about his subordinates.

Just then, a winding path leading to the depths of the forest appeared in front of Sert.

He immediately turned in a different direction, but the same path was still in front of him, as if the road would always be in front of him unless he stepped onto it.

Sert took a deep breath. With a wave of his hand, he "separated" himself from the "small path" "reproduced" by Bernadette. When he turned again, the wilderness finally returned to what it was before.

However, because of this delay, the "Snake Man" had already entangled Sert.

Sert grabbed the big snake tightly with both hands and threw it over his shoulder, sending it flying.

But at this moment, Bernadette, who had no aura of a living person, had already arrived. She stared coldly at Sert, her body emitting a pale light.

The fleeing Sert suddenly felt his whole body stiffen, and the spiritual body of this demigod had been severely damaged.

As Bernadette with the pale light approached, Sert felt all the vitality and spirituality in his body rapidly withering, his life sprinting towards death at a hundred meters per second.

No, I must save myself, Sert thought to himself, wanting to create "chaos" and "separate" again from Bernadette, but found that the "chaos" he created was also rapidly withering.

Bernadette was getting closer and closer to him, and Sert's muscles were rapidly decaying, like a corpse that had been dead for several days.

At this moment, Audis suddenly smiled and said: "I'll borrow your head for a moment."
