Chapter 325
325~ Cursed!~
If this dragged on any longer, the Little Princess would truly be in danger. In comparison, demolishing the Glaze Royal Palace wasn't a big deal.
It wasn't that she couldn't defeat the two of them. It was just that despite clearly crushing them with magic, for some unknown reason they could instantly recover.
However, she felt this was absolutely related to divine power.
When Scarlet Phoenix Nation's army had previously deployed, she'd also encountered a person who couldn't be killed no matter what. Later, that person was only stopped from resurrecting again by being permanently sealed with "Eternal Frozen Coffin."
Although she hadn't been there at that time and couldn't properly research it, now she had a specimen but no way to capture it...
She was roughly this kind of magic research fanatic, trying every possible method to research various strange and unusual, or some practical magic.
Having encountered roughly the same type now, she'd already decided that once she figured out the conditions for these people's recovery, she absolutely had to keep one alive to bring back for research. With such strong recovery ability, presumably no matter how she dissected them, they could recover completely, right?
"Princess Mo..."
However, the Little Princess's safety still came first at the moment. She didn't want to be held accountable by the Empress.
"Calamitous beast that incinerates the world, bestow upon the world a baptism of flame... Burn! Flame Emperor!"
A super-grade magic in the form of a super-condensed fire-attribute magic sphere fell to the ground, then ultra-high temperatures corroded everything around it. Magic power uncontrollably expanded madly outward, instantly engulfing everything nearby.
To prevent the super-grade magic from affecting other people in the Glaze Royal Palace, Cecilia deliberately created a magic wall to prevent the flames and explosion from spreading.
After finishing everything, she released Heaven's Resonance. The terrifying fire-attribute energy instantly destroyed the man and imposter princess who'd just recovered again.
"......"
"Cecilia...?"
The Little Princess's hands trembled wildly, unable to believe that her body was actually stained with so much blood!
"Mm, I'm here, Princess Mo. Everything's fine now. I'll immediately take you to eliminate these two ghostly things."
She only needed a few more times making their bodies explode, and after observing carefully from this point, she'd be done.
The reason she didn't directly use "Eternal Frozen Coffin" was because she didn't know how the two recovered. Unlike last time when the Empress personally described Scarlet Phoenix Nation's deployment, this one recovered instantly in the blink of an eye.
She wasn't certain whether "Eternal Frozen Coffin" would be effective. Moreover, Heaven's Resonance's magic power consumption was indeed quite large. Her own magic power couldn't support multiple uses.
"Pulverize!"
......
......
"What did you say? Mo's bedroom exploded!?"
"Yes... Your Majesty, Princess's bedroom suffered an explosion, suspected to be an attack!"
"Immediately mobilize all Archmages who can get there!"
"Yes."
......
"Princess!"
"Xiao Xi? What are you doing here?"
"You're alright?"
Maid Xiao Xi was somewhat surprised.
"Did you actually want something to happen to me?"
"No... I was just concerned about Princess."
The imposter princess straightened her hair and looked toward mid-air.
Her body had already exploded and recovered several times. She could also tell Cecilia was testing her, but she dared say that even if Cecilia figured something out, there was nothing she could do about it. This wasn't simply possessing terrifying recovery ability through divine power. Normal recovery couldn't possibly restore her to perfect condition in an instant, and it definitely couldn't recover her clothes along with her body.
Without divine power attacks, to her, it was just wasting magic power. And according to what she knew, although the Little Princess had mastered divine power, she couldn't use it freely. Her strongest attack method was nothing more than directly releasing divine power to disperse magic power.
The only thing on her body that could pose a threat was that God-Slaying Dagger, but with the Little Princess's combat ability, it was completely useless against her.
More importantly, Cecilia still couldn't use it!
"Step back. I'm going to knock these two down."
"Princess Mo, your maid seems to be beside that imposter?"
Looking over, she saw Maid Xiao Xi gazing at herself with a worried expression.
"Don't harm her."
"Understood!"
Thus, based on the two people's characteristics, she began releasing magic:
"Sound the bell at time's end, corrode heaven and earth's time to nothing... Heaven's Death Knell!"
Selecting coordinates... setting the number of space fold layers and the distance of each layer, finally injecting magic power to open the folded space tunnel between two locations, Folding Space Magic!
She planned to directly send the two directly to the seabed, and moreover to the deep seabed in the middle of the ocean, the kind tens of thousands of miles from the surface. Even if she couldn't kill them, it would be enough to make them suffer.
And they definitely couldn't return in a short time. By the time they returned, everything would already be too late, and she'd also be able to replenish all her consumed magic power.
"Sleep in eternal frozen slumber... Eternal Frozen Coffin!"
Locking the two people in ice coffins and sending them to the seabed through Folding Space Magic, she released all magic and descended to the ground with the Little Princess.
"Princess?"
Maid Xiao Xi asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Xiao Xi... you silly Xiao Xi!"
The Little Princess's mouth turned down, and she forcefully smacked Maid Xiao Xi's head.
"That person was an imposter. It was so obvious, you silly Xiao Xi, couldn't you tell!?"
"Princess... of course I could tell..."
As she spoke, tears welled from Maid Xiao Xi's eyes, leaving the Little Princess at a loss for a moment.
She'd always known the Princess beside her was fake, seeing through it from the very beginning.
Having stayed by her own Princess's side since childhood, could she not know whether Princess was real or fake?
"Eh eh? Don't cry! I wasn't scolding you..."
"It's fine... I'm just too happy. Princess, you've finally returned!"
Maid Xiao Xi wiped the tears from her face and grabbed the Little Princess's hand.
As long as Princess returned, then there was a way to solve everything!
"Princess, please save His Majesty!"
"Father the King... what happened to Father the King!?"
"His Majesty, he was cursed! Earlier, after His Majesty discovered that Princess beside him was an imposter, he immediately assembled Archmages preparing to execute that imposter on the spot. But... that imposter actually cursed His Majesty first, directly taking control of His Majesty."
"Damn it!"
Don't let her have the chance to catch that imposter. If she caught her, she'd absolutely execute her with death by a thousand cuts, letting that imposter know what the most terrifying punishment in the world was! She'd personally wield the blade!
Cutting the flesh down piece by piece, making dumplings and feeding them back to that imposter.
You're so familiar with your own body, can't you taste the flavor of your own flesh!?
She absolutely had to make that imposter experience all the most vicious punishments in the world!
To actually dare put the family member she'd worked so hard to save in danger!
