Chapter 240
240~ Got Away!
"Your Majesty, next we should capture the mastermind~"
"I know."
The Empress casually put on a mask. For a moment, Cecilia actually couldn't discern the Empress's mood at this time.
"Your Majesty?"
"I'm fine, just consumed a bit too much Magic Power. Need to recover a bit."
Do you even believe those words yourself...?
And shouldn't recovering mean relaxing? With this mask on, breathing isn't even smooth. Where's the appearance of recovering!?
Cecilia didn't say it to her face, but she kept an eye out.
"Your Majesty, can you sense it? That portion of Divine Power in the air is flowing back. That must be where the mastermind is."
Cecilia looked toward the distant city wall. By virtue of Magic Power's enhancement of her physical body, she could clearly see a person wearing a cloak concealing their physique, wearing a mask so their appearance couldn't be seen clearly, frantically absorbing the Divine Power in the air.
"...Let's go meet them."
Before her Magic Power runs out, deal with this guy, then bring the little Princess back to Scarlet Phoenix Nation and properly demand the "fee" for taking back Glaze Nation.
Mo will definitely agree, right?
Thinking this, she didn't know where the strength came from as she gripped the scepter in her hand tightly.
"Cecilia, trap them!"
"Understood!"
Next is to continue using magic to seal off their escape routes!
"Pitiful one sunk in the old world... fall into eternal slumber!"
Countless hands extended upward from the ground. After one hand reached its limit, another hand grew from the original hand. Countless hands emerged from the earth, densely packed hands continuously approaching, finally making contact with the target, constantly dragging.
This is... one of the Forbidden Magics!
"Absolute Zero, Absolute Zero: Judgment!"
A giant sword formed of ice once again pierced the earth, splitting the city wall in half. Under the dragging of countless hands, that proxy had no possibility of escape and forcibly took this strike!
"Phew..."
The Empress clutched her chest. After landing on the ground, she stumbled and fell.
"Your Majesty!"
Cecilia hurriedly went to support the Empress.
She roughly understood what was going on. The Empress most likely overextended herself now!
Looking at the ice giant sword hundreds of zhang tall in the distance, she had already roughly guessed. The massive amount of Magic Power remaining at the military camp was because the Empress had released the same magic there!
Around the ice giant sword, everything had already been completely covered with a layer of frost by the extreme temperature.
"Your Majesty..."
Come to think of it, the Empress has released this kind of super-large scale magic more than once. No matter how large the Magic Power storage is, it can't withstand such torment!
Including herself, actually the Magic Power she has left isn't much either.
A large number of Great Mage and Archmage-level Alchemy Golems had already consumed nearly a quarter of her Magic Power, plus subsequently using super-large scale magic three times in a row...
She estimated the Empress must have released it at least five times or more. The total Magic Power consumed was already enough to restore all the Magic Power of ten Archmages.
"Your Majesty, rest a bit. Leave the rest to me."
"Mm."
The Empress lightly responded, then sat down leaning against the wall.
"The army's people should come soon. Your Majesty, you should go back first. I know what to do."
Repeatedly flog the corpse, prevent resurrection!
On the way over, the Empress had told her that people possessing this Divine Power all have extremely tenacious vitality. Even if she blasted them into mush, they still haven't completely died.
In her original world, there was such a saying: The consequence of not finishing them off is GG!
"Phew..."
Coming beneath the hundred-zhang ice giant sword, Cecilia condensed Magic Power in her eyes, looking through the giant sword at the situation below.
Pulled into the old world by her Abyss Magic, and before that smashed by the Empress's ice giant sword, theoretically no one could possibly survive under this kind of attack.
But...
Cecilia gripped her skirt tightly.
Gone! That proxy disappeared!
In the traces left by her Abyss Magic, there was no blood, nor was there any Divine Power residue left behind from attempting to resist the attack.
Damn it!
She was careless! With that scale of Divine Power, even if diluted, how could it possibly be weaker than a Great Archmage! She actually didn't notice this point!
Thinking this, Cecilia immediately used Magic Power to lift herself up and quickly flew toward the Empress's direction.
Please don't let it be what she's imagining!
Since they didn't die and dodged these two super-large scale magics, they'll definitely seek an opportunity to try to deal with them!
"Your Majesty!"
"Cecilia?"
The Empress, who had already mounted her horse preparing to return to the military encampment with the army, frowned.
For Cecilia to come find her in such a hurry, there's only one possibility!
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Empress: "......"
Cecilia: "......"
After the two were silent for a while, they suddenly thought of something.
"Mo!?"
"Damn it! It's Princess Mo!"
Forcibly squeezing out a trace of Magic Power to maintain her flight, the Empress immediately followed Cecilia, rushing at high speed toward the military encampment.
She should have thought of it earlier! This was a trap set up for the little Princess from the start. It's just that their intervention caused things to exceed the other party's control range.
They don't know what use that deity of theirs wants the little Princess for, don't know if there will be any danger to her life, but no matter what, they must rush over immediately!
......
A moment later, rapidly landing in the military encampment, she tremblingly reached out to push open the tent flap.
"Mo?"
"Fei? What's wrong?"
The little Princess tilted her head somewhat confused.
Before she could react to what exactly had happened, she was embraced by the Empress.
"It's good that Mo is fine..."
"What..."
What exactly is going on!?
Not figuring out what the situation is, in any case, just don't move around!
"Princess Mo, are you alright?"
"Wait! Are you all hoping something happened to me?"
The corner of the little Princess's mouth twitched slightly. She no longer knew how to comment.
"No, it's just that an accident occurred. We were afraid something happened to you and rushed back immediately."
"An accident?"
"...Mm, we let a proxy get away. We couldn't deal with them. I'm sorry."
A proxy got away?
A proxy who had been lurking in Glaze Nation for who knows how long got away under the combined attack of two Great Archmages! Doesn't this mean that proxy's level is already at Great Archmage level!?
However, very quickly, the little Princess calmed down.
"It's fine... at least it's temporarily safe!"
Since that proxy didn't continue doing anything after escaping, perhaps they're injured?
She doesn't know what exactly that proxy's objective is, but at least there's no movement now. Perhaps for a period of time, she doesn't need to worry about that proxy making any major moves?
