Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

The ascetic Snowman, facing the stone wall, turned his head and looked at Audis with some surprise: "Do you know the great 'Sage'?"

The "Iceberg Vice Admiral" instantly recalled the information about the "Sage" that he and Audis had heard in the "Ruins of the Gods War."

Klein frowned, however, as it was the first time he had heard of a being called "Sage."

Audis smiled and said, "Do you find it strange that I know this?"

Snowman simply turned around, faced the fire, and pointed to the man wearing asymmetrical clothes, saying, "He said he had heard of the 'Sage' in some stories."

Then he looked at the young man who was sleeping: "He has never heard of the 'Sage's' name at all."

Edwina continued to introduce, "This is Mobert Zoroaster of the Solomon Empire, a gentleman who can take away other people's ideals and dreams."

"No need to be so euphemistic," Mobert said with a chuckle. "Hello, I am a 'Dream Thief.'"

He looked very approachable: "Let me introduce the remaining companion, Ronzel. He says he comes from Backlund, but the Backlund he speaks of is completely different from the Backlund in my memory."

"Ronzel, wake up, there are new companions."

The sleeping Ronzel slowly woke up, glanced at Audis and the others, and finally focused his gaze on Klein: "A Ruen person?"

Audis's attire was basically a mix of Intis and Ruen styles, while only Klein's clothing had a distinct Ruen style.

Klein frankly said, "Yes."

Ronzel showed obvious confusion, but quickly restrained his expression: "Do you know the Edwards family in Backlund?"

Klein replied, "There are many Edwards in Backlund."

Ronzel eagerly asked, "The Edwards family who live at 18 Delahair Street in the Northwest District."

Klein shook his head and said, "There is no Northwest District anymore."

"No Northwest District anymore…" Ronzel's voice gradually faded, then he sighed: "I don't know how many years have passed outside, but it should have been many years…"

At this time, Audis said to Snowman, "I learned about the existence of the 'Sage' in some ruins and from the mouths of ancient people, but I have never heard of this being anywhere else."

"What is certain is that in your era, many people knew the 'Sage,' but I don't know why. In our era, no one knows this being anymore."

Snowman said hoarsely, "When the light of the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord' shines on every piece of land, the 'Sage' is the only god who can be on par with the Lord."

"It was through the cooperation of these two gods that the era with humans as the main body was created."

"Every ascetic, while believing in the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord,' also receives the teachings and enlightenment of the 'Sage.'"

"'Wall-facing Meditation' is a cultivation method advocated by the 'Sage.' We use it to resist the madness and distortion within the extraordinary."

When Klein heard halfway, he was somewhat surprised: A god on par with the "Ancient Sun God"? Then He is also a being at the level of "Above the Gods"?

Then he realized another strange thing: For most ordinary people today, few people know the "Ancient Sun God," and even extraordinary people rarely know the difference between the "Ancient Sun God" and the "Eternal Blazing Sun."

But after all, there are people who know this powerful god of the Third Epoch, but why don't even the extraordinary know the "Sage" anymore? Not even the vague descriptions of the other party.

He glanced at Audis: No wonder "Mr. Gehrman" would be so concerned. He must have also noticed that this was very wrong.

Just as they were talking about this, the entire cave suddenly shook, and that familiar, crazy, and violent aura rapidly descended!

Shataz, who was on guard outside, shouted, "'King of the North' Yurisian is here!"

Audis and the others were slightly stunned, and immediately rushed out, just in time to see a huge figure descending from the sky and landing on the huge rock covered with thick ice nearby.

The membranous wings did not retract, but continued to spread, almost obscuring the surrounding light.

Then everyone clearly saw the dreamy armor plates condensed from ice crystals, and the extremely crazy, dark blue dragon eyes.

As everyone rushed out, "King of the North" Yurisian opened his mouth and spat a distorted, ice-blue flame towards the cave's location. Everything it passed through was frozen, rushing towards Audis and the others like a tide.

Audis, who had already equipped his mystical items, immediately used the "Harvest Gauntlets" to summon several huge fireballs, which exploded towards the icy tide-like attack.

As several explosions rang out, part of the ice-blue tide vaporized, buying time for Klein and the others, and everyone dodged one after another.

Audis did not dare to directly face Yurisian's sharp edge. After releasing the fireballs, he quickly jumped aside to dodge.

Without the obstruction of the fireballs, the blue tide almost sealed the cave. If everyone had come out a little later, some of them might have been sealed in the cave.

After dodging in a flustered manner, everyone's counterattack began.

First, Shataz drew her bow and nocked an arrow in one smooth motion. An arrow flashing with lightning flew towards the "King of the North" with a piercing sound.

It was just that the dragon's scales were too thick, and this arrow was not very effective.

Grossel raised his exaggerated greatsword and, under the protection of the dawn's light, launched a charge towards the dragon.

Seeing that the "King of the North" was about to open his wings and fly again, Ronzel quickly extended his palm and said, "Flying is prohibited here!"

The "King of the North" flapped his wings, and his flight seemed to encounter great resistance. The wings could not make his huge body fly again.

The dragon Yurisian immediately let out an angry roar, and the huge sound waves instantly penetrated Ronzel's ears, causing him to sway involuntarily.

Yurisian once again flapped his sky-covering wings, stirring up the surrounding snow and frost, and finally struggled to fly up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audis had already used "Flight" to fly to Yurisian's flank. He took out a scroll: "Misfortune!"

The scroll exploded, and in the next three seconds, Yurisian would become very unlucky, while Audis would become very lucky.

This scroll was designed by Audis through studying the demigod-level spirituality materials provided by the "School of Life."

Only then did Audis dare to rush forward and use the "Harvest" ability. The dragon Yurisian stretched out his huge wings to block.

But what was relatively unlucky for him was that his attention was attracted by Audis, and he actually ignored that Grossel had already rushed to the front.

Grossel, with his exaggerated greatsword filled with the light of dawn, suddenly slashed down, wounding Yurisian's wings, making it unable to lift, so it failed to block Audis, who rushed to the front.

The metal gauntlet with the "Reaper" ability struck the dragon, and the defense-ignoring "Harvest" smashed a depression into Yurisian's back.

The dragon roared in anger and turned to bite Audis, but Audis immediately "Flashed" away after completing that punch, just in time to avoid the dragon's attack.

In the "Travel Notes," the "Travel" ability cannot be used, but "Flash" can be used.

Yurisian's "Unluckiness" had not ended, because he had just flown up, which gave Ronzel the opportunity to "Punish": "Those who violate shall be punished!"

As soon as the voice fell, the figure of this "Punishment Knight" suddenly rose, seeming to be even taller than the "Frost Dragon" Yurisian.

His black straight sword pierced out, creating a wound on the dragon's icy neck, and spraying out a lot of dragon blood.

The continuous damage caused Yurisian to roar, and he landed on the ground again, his thick hind limbs stomping heavily, and a violent storm centered on him, spraying towards the surroundings.

Grossel, who was more than four meters tall, was blown back repeatedly, almost falling down. Audis and Ronzel, who had completed the "Punishment," were even blown away.

Even the arrows shot by Shataz were blown off their intended trajectory.

The ascetic Snowman opened his arms in the howling wind and said in ancient Hermes language, "God says, invalid!"

As soon as the "Priest of Light" finished speaking, the violent blizzard suddenly weakened.

But at this time, Yurisian's snake-like tail whipped over, and Grossel, who had stabilized his figure, slammed the greatsword into the snow, and a dawn-like light descended and quickly condensed into a barrier, protecting himself and Ronzel, who were almost hit by the dragon's tail.

Yurisian turned his head and spewed out an ice-blue dragon breath, freezing Grossel and Ronzel in the ice layer.

The "King of the North" was about to continue attacking, but suddenly froze, seeming to have forgotten what he was going to do.

It turned out that the "Dream Thief" Mobert took the opportunity to steal the dragon's next thought.

Audis in mid-air took this opportunity to throw out another scroll: "Arbitration!"

The scroll with black light exploded, and in the next three seconds, he entered the "Arbitration Moment." Audis's figure became very tall, and he swung his fist wearing black gloves: "Death!"

Yurisian raised his head and roared, and the violent roar caused a wave of spiritual energy around him, and at the same time, like "Appealing with Force," the effect of the "Arbitration Scroll" was greatly reduced.

The "King of the North" looked at Audis, who was rushing towards him again, with his blue eyes. The attack of "Death" was unavoidable, but he planned to freeze the approaching human and then bite him to death.

Audis punched the dragon Yurisian, but the effect of this round of attack was not as good as the previous round, only making a small piece of the dragon's ice-crystal-like scales stained with a layer of black.

The instant the attack ended, Audis was frozen into an ice sculpture.

However, Uriel hadn't bitten down yet, because it realized its movements were becoming sluggish, and even its thoughts seemed to slow down.

Klein finally found a suitable opportunity to temporarily control Uriel's "Spirit Body Threads."

However, the opponent's struggle made Klein's control very difficult.

The "Gustav Staff" in Audis's hand flashed with dazzling starlight, and the ice around him shattered instantly. Taking advantage of this gap, he threw a scroll into the "King of the North's" mouth.

Originally, his plan was to throw the scroll into the dragon's mouth when it bit at him.

With Klein's help, his actions were more composed.

Just as Uriel's "Spirit Body Threads" were about to break free, Audis tried hard to imagine that in the next instant, the dragon's head would turn into a piece of wood.

This piece of wood looked like it had just been cut down, and seemed to still have some moisture, and the extended branches and leaves were still green.

But strangely, it grew on the neck of a giant dragon.

This was the "Imagination Scroll" that Audis designed using the fruit he obtained from the giant tree in the "God War Ruins."

For the next three seconds, the "King of the North's" head would turn into wood according to Audis's "Imagination," losing all ability to react.

Audis could also "Imagine" the "King of the North" dying or being injured, but if he "Imagined" the opponent dying, it would have little effect on its attack, and as time went on, the effect of the "Imagination" would disappear, and Uriel would eventually come back to life.

In fact, the dragon in front of everyone was also "Imagined" from the "Grosella Travelogue." Compared to the "Travelogue," Audis's scroll level was still too low. If it was high enough, he could actually change the "Travelogue's" Imagination and make this dragon disappear directly.

At this time, the others were stunned by the scene, mainly because they rarely saw such a bizarre ability.

But Audis seized every second, raised his staff high, and the head of the staff shone brightly. A huge beam of light fell on the scales that had been dyed black by the "Death" ability just now.

Audis used all his strength, and pieces of scales were stirred, torn apart, and finally broke through the dragon's defense, revealing a large hole in the dragon's body, revealing the ice crystal-like skin and internal organs inside.

The other members also reacted. Grosella used the light of dawn to shatter the ice that had frozen him, and rushed to the "King of the North" again, using an exaggerated giant sword dyed with the light of dawn to slash the ice crystal-like scales, sending them flying in all directions.

Longze's and others' attacks also arrived one after another, and each person had at least two abilities that hit the giant dragon.

Three seconds passed, and the wood on Uriel's neck turned back into a head. It seemed a little surprised, not understanding why it was covered in wounds after a moment of distraction.

Audis threw an "Explosion Scroll" into the huge wound created by the "Light Beam" just now.

Puff~

With a muffled sound, as if the explosion was covered by layers of cotton, a large stream of ice crystals immediately spewed out from the "King of the North's" wound, which were the shattered flesh and internal organs.

The dragon's roar sounded much weaker, and it was clear that the attack had seriously injured it.

Audis was about to fly away to avoid Uriel's counterattack.

He suddenly realized that Klein hadn't retreated. Looking at the dragon in front of him, its reaction was sluggish.

Audis probably understood that Klein had taken the opportunity to control a part of the dragon's "Spirit Body Threads" again.

So Audis turned back and threw a few fireballs and a flock of fire crows into the hole he had just smashed out, and finally summoned layers of fire walls in the dragon's belly.

In this way, a burst of fire suddenly flashed on Uriel's ice crystal-like scales.

The severe damage caused the giant dragon to break free from Klein's control over the "Spirit Body Threads" and staggeringly try to escape from here.

How could everyone let it go? They immediately chased after it.

The "King of the North" suddenly raised its head and roared, and the surrounding frost was swept by the cold wind, creating a storm with extremely low visibility.

When the storm ended and the frost fell to the ground, Audis and others had been frozen in ice crystals. This layer of ice crystals was different from the previous ice sculpture. Audis and others' abilities were difficult to break for a while.

Also frozen in the ice crystals was the "King of the North," except that in the ice crystals, its wounds began to heal rapidly.

Audis thought to himself: This ability is the last struggle of this giant dragon.

While the injuries of the "Frost Dragon" Uriel were healing rapidly, its size was also shrinking, and it was clear that this ability also brought a lot of burden to itself.

The "Gustav Staff" in Audis's hand once again emitted a dazzling starlight, and on the crystal ball at the head of the staff, "Gael Runes" appeared in a regular arrangement.

A dazzling ray of light fell from the sky and shone on the ice crystals that trapped them. In the reflection of the ice crystals on the light, Audis couldn't open his eyes at all, and could only try to maintain the pure white light, so that the ice crystals would melt a gap as soon as possible.

Four or five seconds later, the pure white light finally penetrated the ice crystals in front of Audis, and a small hole the thickness of a finger appeared.

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one capacity, one in, one look!

At this time, the "Frost Dragon," which had shrunk by half, witnessed all this, and didn't have time to wait for a complete recovery. It broke free from the shackles of the ice crystals and tried to fly into the sky.

Audis took a deep breath and turned his body into a wisp of "Star Sand," drilled out of the small hole the thickness of a finger, and re-condensed above the ice crystals.

The others were still trying to break free from the shackles of the ice crystals, and none of them had been able to get out yet.

At this time, Uriel, who was very weak, did not love to fight, but tried to flap his wings and finally flew up.

Audis didn't have time to wait for the others. He took out a black scroll and threw it at Uriel: "Gravity!"

This was the "Gravity Scroll" he had just designed in the past two days using the black crystal obtained from Whale Island. For a while, Uriel's weight increased by more than ten times. Just as he flew up, he fell to the ground again.

It struggled desperately and roared, but not only could it not fly, but now it couldn't even stand still. Its two thick hind limbs softened, and it fell to the ground with a "thud."

Audis first used a "Scale Armor Scroll" on himself, took off his glasses and looked at the "Frost Dragon." Then, while rushing towards Uriel, he injected spirituality into the "Harvest Gauntlets" and summoned layers of fire walls around the dragon.

The intense flames caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly, melting the surrounding frost.

Although these flames could not cause too much damage to the "King of the North," they made it very uncomfortable, as if the flames that had appeared in its body just now were burning again, making it particularly anxious, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't get up.

The others who were still in the ice crystals were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Audis would rush to the "King of the North" by himself, and that one person would suppress this giant dragon.

Audis's actions were not reckless, because he had just used the "Eye of Peeking" to see that the strength of the "King of the North" at this time was not as strong as it was at the beginning, probably similar to a relatively powerful Sequence 5.

Audis, who could already skillfully use the "Gustav Staff," was confident that he could kill such a weak dragon.

At this time, the effect of the "Gravity Scroll" was almost over, and Uriel could already raise his head and spew dragon breath at Audis.

The reason why Audis rushed over instead of using "Flash" was to attract the other party's dragon breath. He had just noticed that when the giant dragon was conducting a dragon breath attack, it would stop other extraordinary attacks.

After the dragon breath, which was much weaker than before, was spewed out, Audis immediately used the ability of "Flash" and came to the top of the dragon's head, hitting the dragon with the hand wearing the gauntlets.

"Harvest!"

Uriel's head was immediately hit on the ground, and the dragon's breath was interrupted.

Like the last attack, "Harvest" successfully created a collapse on the dragon's head.

One by one, "Gael Runes" appeared again on the "Gustav Staff" in Audis's hand. The light of dawn suddenly appeared around Audis, and finally condensed into a sharp straight sword on the "Gustav Staff" in his hand.

Taking advantage of the dragon's head falling on the ground, Audis stabbed the straight sword fiercely into the collapsed area on the dragon's head just now.

The severe pain caused the "King of the North" to let out an angry roar. The desire to survive made it break through the "Gravity Shackles" and stand up abruptly.

And with a flick of its head, it flung Audis on its head out.

Audis, who was flying in the air, thought to himself: This guy is too resistant to beatings. After stabbing his brain, he can still stand up!

At this time, the tail of the "Frost Dragon" whipped towards Audis. He dodged with the ability of "Flash," and then threw out a scroll: "Chaos!"

The "Chaos Scroll" caused Uriel's already injured brain to become "Chaotic." It wanted to escape, but its body was out of control, and it always staggered and couldn't fly.

This time, Audis did not take the opportunity to get close, but raised the "Gustav Staff" high. One by one, "Gael Runes" emerged in the starlight. The next second, a bolt of lightning fell and hit the wound on the head of the "King of the North" that he had just stabbed.

Uriel's head suddenly drooped, and then a burst of black smoke emerged.

But it actually slowly raised its head again. At this time, the effect of the "Chaos Scroll" was coming to an end. It flapped its wings, and ice crystal spears pierced towards Audis.

While Audis dodged the ice crystal spears, the "King of the North" finally flew up. Although it was already seriously injured at this time, the nourishment of the frost in this ice and snow never-melting kingdom would make it better.

Just as it flew higher and higher, farther and farther away, that nightmare-like human caught up again. He threw out another scroll, and the spell on this scroll was: “Art!”

Boom!

The last sight that “Frost Dragon” Yurisian saw was a crimson blur.

Audis had just used a “Blood Explosion Scroll.” This scroll was developed by studying the spiritual materials from the black spider obtained from the “Ancient Sun God” temple.

The explosive power it produced was far less than that of an “Explosion Scroll,” but it could cause flesh and blood to explode, inflicting tremendous trauma on the target.

If the “King of the North” had been in his prime, this scroll would not have caused much damage to him, or rather, he could have used his abilities to quickly turn his flesh and blood into ice crystals, preventing his flesh and blood from exploding on a large scale.

But now, the “Frost Dragon” had suffered successive and violent blows and was unable to react quickly.

As a result, the “King of the North’s” brain exploded, spraying a lot of blood and ice crystals from the wound, and his blue eyes also turned blood red.

The “Frost Dragon” didn't even have time to let out a wail before plummeting straight to the ground.

Floating in mid-air, Audis breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, internally summarizing his strength: Invincible below demigod level.

In addition, Audis examined his special scrolls, and the final conclusion was: If he really encountered a demigod, these scrolls could buy him time to escape.

At this moment, Klein and the others also broke free from the ice crystals and chased after him one after another. They witnessed the dragon's fall, seeing the “Frost Dragon’s” body crash to the ground, with bursts of faint blue light erupting from within.

These rays of light moved and quickly transformed the huge dragon corpse into a thick, double-opening door covered with white snow.

Without any reminders, all the Extraordinary individuals present knew that this was the door leading to the outside world.

Grosel opened his mouth wide and laughed, “Haha, we succeeded.”

Xiatas had tears in the corners of her eyes, revealing a gratified smile.

Mobert from the Solomon Empire whistled, as if relieved of some worry.

Snowman made the sign of the cross on his chest and whispered a prayer: “Father of all things, great source…”

The young Ronzel was already eager to leave through that door.

The female elf Xiatas quickly adjusted her state: “We must get out as soon as possible; no one knows how long that door will last.”

Everyone came back to their senses from their relief and emotion and were about to move forward, but Audis said, “Wait a moment!”

Everyone was a little puzzled and looked at this powerful Extraordinary individual.

Audis smiled and said, “I just want to ask, what are your plans after you go out?”

Xiatas looked at the door and said, “This question can be discussed after we go out.”

“Dream Thief” Mobert realized that Audis wouldn't ask such a boring question at this time.

He was the first to answer: “I will first accompany Xiatas to find the elf tribe, and then see if I can find my clansmen.”

Snowman answered second: “Although you say that the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord' has fallen, I will still build a church belonging to the Lord and continue to cultivate diligently.”

Audis nodded with a smile: “Very good plans.”

Ronzel then said, “I want to return to Backlund and find my family.”

Then he smiled wryly and said, “Or rather, find the descendants of my family.”

Grosel said loudly, “I hope to go back to the 'Giant Court' and take a look.”

As they spoke about their plans, Audis walked past them and came to the double-opening door: “Everyone, this is the situation. Ronzel, who has spent the shortest time in the book, has already disappeared from the outside world for more than a hundred years.

“The others have been here for thousands of years.

“After you go out, the real world will correct the 'fantasy,' so you will age rapidly and eventually die outside in an instant.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

The scrolls Audis had used just now and the strength he had displayed made everyone take his words seriously.

After a few seconds of silence, Edwina asked, “Then what should we do?”

Although she had only been in this team for a little over a day, she liked the atmosphere of this team very much, so she was also more worried about the situation of Grosel and others.

“Please wait for me to go out and think of a way.” Audis spread his hands and said, “Since people from different eras can appear in a book at the same time, there must be a way to get you back to the real world.

“However, this requires me to do some research.”

Xiatas said with some worry, “What if this door doesn't appear again?”

“I have already thought about this question.” Audis said, “This book is related to the authority of 'fantasy,' and I happen to have some spiritual materials of a higher level on this pathway.

“I am confident that I can perform certain rituals or make certain arrangements to summon this door again.”

Everyone fell silent again. They had been waiting for a long, long time, just waiting for this moment when they could go out, but suddenly they were told that they couldn't go out at this time, which made it a little difficult for them to accept for a while.

“Hahaha, I believe you, my friend.” The giant Grosel was the first to say, “I am willing to wait here for you to come and pick us up.”

Audis was stunned by the other party's phrase “my friend.” Originally, he didn't plan to remind these people. In that case, he could divide up their Extraordinary characteristics after they went out.

But after feeling that they were real people through the conversation in the cave just now, Audis felt a sense of compassion. Finally, after hearing their plans, it was like a group of wanderers embarking on the road home.

At this time, Audis made up his mind to try to rescue them.

But at this moment, the giant in front of him said “my friend,” which made Audis suddenly smile. He had forgotten when was the last time he was trusted so inexplicably.

Even his subordinates didn't trust him so much from the beginning. They also established a relationship of trust after repeated tests.

It was the same with Klein. This guy was very wary. The two of them also established a relationship of mutual trust after going through many things together.

Audis promised, “Leave this to me; I won’t let you wait too long.”

Mobert raised his hand slightly and said, “I will also stay.”

Then he said to Xiatas, “We have already waited so long; a few more days won’t make a difference.”

Xiatas took a deep breath: “Alright then.”

Then Snowman also expressed his willingness to stay, and Ronzel hesitated for a while, but finally decided to stay.

So Audis and Klein pushed open the door, and the four “modern people” returned from 《Travel Notes》 to Edwina’s study. It was already evening outside.

When they looked back, the people inside the door were looking forward to it, but Audis smiled and said, “Don’t worry; I’ll give you news in the next few days.”
