" Squeak!" The sound of the wooden door being pushed open echoed in the laboratory. Then, a tall figure walked out. When he walked out of the shadows, the appearance of the Seven Sages appeared.
The Seven Sages walked toward the magic array that was emitting a strong red light, and they seemed to be talking to someone.
"Didn't I tell you that I needed to adjust the activation time of the magic array? Look, this place has been flipped over. It's obvious that the kid doesn't completely believe us. However, as long as the magic array was not activated immediately, he would definitely let down his guard and be trapped.”
"What is that? If I hadn't suggested offering sacrifices to the demons, you wouldn't have thought of doing this. There wouldn't even be a magic array.”
"Wrong! The most useful one is me! If I hadn't invented this delayed activation magic array, I'd like to see how you'd carry out this plan!”
"No! It's me…"
" It's me!..."
"I…"
“……”
The souls of the Seven Sages, who could only say a few words, started arguing with the mouths of the Seven Sages.
The Seven Sages arrived before the magic array. Because the red light was so dense that they could not see the situation inside the magic array clearly, the Seven Sages could only judge through their perception.
"Come out! Although he didn't know who was inside the magic array, he still didn't know how they had managed to split the power of Holy Light into two. However, the aura is obviously the same person, so there's no point in hiding it!”
As soon as the Seven Sages finished speaking, Phoenix jumped from the iron cage to the ground.
"Are you planning to use White Snow, who has the power of Holy Light, as a sacrifice to please the demons in exchange for something?”Phoenix pointed at the Seven Sages and shouted.
"That's right! We're taller now, taller than anyone. Therefore, we only need to truly fuse. That's right, a true fusion."
"Oh? You guys with such strong personalities are actually willing to fuse together?”Phoenix asked.
"Brat, don't deliberately sow discord. I know very well what you're thinking. They just want to use our dissatisfaction to create chaos. However, it's useless because we've decided to fuse from the beginning!”
"From the beginning?" Phoenix was truly surprised this time.
"We are all geniuses. What if our geniuses gather together? Even the gods would be jealous of us!”
"Tsk! As expected of a fairy tale, it was a classic villain line.”Phoenix said unhappily.
"When did you start suspecting us?”
"When I was looking at that seal. Although you said that the seal itself has the effect of absorbing external energy, because I'm training my skills, I'm very sensitive to the control and perception of energy, so I can feel that the seal is being manipulated. If it was you, why did you hide the fact that you could still use magic? Then, I thought about how you prepared dinner in your house. Why did you go out to do things after preparing dinner? Did they discover our arrival and want to destroy any evidence or prepare something? How much of what you said after that was true? In the end, it seems that my feeling was right." Phoenix purposely said a lot to stall for time.
"Haha! Good job, kid. He was probably trying to get information to save the little girl. Unfortunately, we are also stalling for time. Did you know? The advantage of having many souls was that they could secretly chant spells! Heed my call and descend into this world, demons from the endless abyss!”The Seven Sages opened their arms wide in front of the magic array and called out to the demons from the abyss.
In order to prevent the Seven Sages from noticing Snow White, who was quietly advancing from the other side, Phoenix rushed toward the Seven Sages.
" % ￥ @#..." The Seven Sages were indeed once powerful. They chanted spells while releasing lightning bolts, easily slowing down Phoenix's attack.
Phoenix, who was constantly dodging left and right, finally came to a place five meters away from the Seven Sages. However, at this time, the Seven Sages had also finished their incantation.
The magic array emitted a terrifying evil power, and at the same time, it issued a question full of violence and chaos." Puny mage, what do you want to do!”
The Seven Sages raised their hands to create an ice wall, blocking Phoenix's advance.
"Powerful demon, I have prepared a sacrifice filled with divine power for you. Please give me the power to resist God after tasting it!”As they spoke, the Seven Sages pointed at the magic array.
"Yes, there is indeed divine power. But it was too weak! This kind of sacrifice is completely insufficient!" Suddenly, a black mist appeared above the magic array. Then, a wisp of the black mist entered the magic array.
Phoenix smashed the ice wall with her fists and charged at the Seven Sages again.
The Seven Sages waved their hands, and a bolt of lightning struck Phoenix, who was very close to them, paralyzing her on the spot. Then, the Seven Sages waved their hands again, and the surrounding wind tied Phoenix up like a rope.
"Look, is it enough with this human?”The Seven Sages pointed at Phoenix, who was lying on the ground.
" Well, in that case..." The demon was about to agree with the Seven Sages when Snow White, who had finally sneaked up to the Seven Sages, interrupted him.
"Go to hell! You evil mage who summons demons!”Snow White jumped behind the Seven Sages, raised her scepter, and smashed it at their heads.
"Wha!" As a mage, the Seven Sages had barely managed to dodge the attack when Snow White's scepter landed on his back.
"Pfft!" The Seven Sages, who had been hit by the heavy scepter, vomited blood and fainted on the ground. The magic that was no longer under his control also disappeared. Phoenix took the opportunity to get up.
"Hahaha! Useless mage, let me help you catch them! These two little fellows filled with divine power would be the best sacrifices!”The demon laughed loudly. The black fog slowly solidified into a demon with wings on its back and horns on its head.
The demon waved his hand, and the heavily injured Seven Sages floated beside him. Then, the demon pointed his hand at the magic array. The two surviving goblins were dragged to the demon by a strange force.
"Let me quench my thirst before the battle!”As the demon spoke, it stabbed the goblins 'chests one by one and began to absorb the power of Holy Light in their bodies.
Seeing this, Phoenix immediately fired two mini Holy Light Cannons at the two goblins. The two goblins that were hit were blasted into pieces by the Holy Light.
"Ahhhh!" The demons that bore the brunt of the attack were severely injured. Even though the demon was so powerful that he wasn't afraid of Phoenix's little Holy Light, he was intoxicated by the Holy Light and subconsciously weakened his resistance. Moreover, the explosion happened on the food that he thought would no longer resist. His hands that were stabbed into the goblin's chest were bleeding from the explosion. The Seven Sages beside him lost control of the magic array, and they fell onto the magic array, which was no longer effective.
Seeing this, Snow White, who had been waiting for an opportunity, rushed towards the Seven Sages. The Seven Sages, who did not react at all, had their heads smashed by the heavy scepter.
The injured demon realized that his summoner was also dead. Now, he had to return to the Abyss without a sacrifice. This time, the response to the summoning could be considered a complete failure. The power of crossing worlds was wasted. He could not help but roar angrily,"Damn you! I want you dead! All of you must die!"
After saying that, the demon rushed towards the corpse of the Seven Sages, intending to use its summoner as a sacrifice to prolong its existence.
Realizing the demons 'intentions, Phoenix immediately rushed towards the corpses. At the same time, she fired a small Holy Light Cannon to block them. At the same time, he shouted to Snow White,"Blow the corpse away!"”
Snow White reacted and also let out a "Ha!”With a loud thud, he slammed the corpse in the direction of the laboratory door and finally landed on the empty space where the spider had been crawling.
Realizing that his last chance had been destroyed, the demon was stunned for a moment. Then, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and rushed towards Snow White, ready to give her a fierce blow.
Because she had used all her strength to send the corpse flying, Snow White was unable to adjust her posture. She could only watch as the attack landed on her.
At that moment, Phoenix had arrived as well. She flew up and used her leg that was wrapped in holy light to kick away the demon that was only paying attention to Snow White.
The Demon crashed into the wall. A magic array suddenly appeared beneath its feet, and its figure slowly faded.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! The next time I see you, I'll definitely kill you!”After saying this, the demon completely disappeared from the magic array.
"This is?" Phoenix asked Snow White while panting.
"It should be because the summoner died and was summoned back to the Abyss.”Snow White said with a pale face.
Even though she did not use much of her strength, she was still worried about Phoenix. She could not waste the opportunity that Phoenix had created. She could only slowly move forward, causing Snow White to expend a lot of her mental energy.
"Forget it, it's more important to find the key first.”Phoenix said.
Then, the two of them entered the room to search.
In the end, not only did the two of them find the key, but they also found a few magic books that should belong to the Seven Sages. Even though it was only basic magic knowledge, it was enough for Phoenix, who had no knowledge of magic at all.
However, when they returned to the laboratory hall, they found the Undead Knight that they hadn't seen for a long time. They were dumbfounded to see that the Undead Knight, who should have been very weak, was stabbing his sword into the corpses of the Seven Sages and continuously absorbing the spiritual power of the Seven Sages.
