Night falls, and the stars twinkle on the deep curtain of the sky. As you approach the Angelicia Mountains, the temperature in the air begins to drop.
A black figure flies quickly in the night.
Minori had already changed out of his white priest's robe, into a black cloak, and was carrying the unconscious Quaiesse in his hand, flying towards the depths of the mountains.
From afar, a fiery red color could already be seen within the northern part of the Angelicia Mountains.
This was the seventh day after the death of the Gray Robe Mage, and also the third day that Minori had entered the Angelicia Mountains.
The magic power in his body had completely recovered, and even the magic power in the "Orb of Death" that had been completely consumed had been replenished somewhat.
Minori chose the interior of the mountains as the place to deal with Quaiesse. Since the Slane Theocracy could lock onto his location, the environment of the Great Swamp was not as complex as that within the Angelicia Mountains.
This could further serve to confuse the situation.
"It's been seven days, I wonder if the Slane Theocracy has noticed anything unusual over there," Minori muttered softly, feeling the cold wind in the air.
Whoosh!
A black shadow attacked rapidly from the air. It was a harpy, a monster with the same size as a normal human, but with eagle wings and claws.
It is one of the most dangerous monsters in the sky above the Angelicia Mountains.
Faced with this suddenly attacking harpy, Minori's flying motion did not stop at all. At the moment when the other party was about to come in front of him.
A magic greatsword appeared in his hand, drawing a cold light in the night.
The harpy was directly split in half!

[Experience bar: 82907/120000]
Minori's figure flew past quickly. The harpy, who didn't even let out a scream, continued to fly towards the north of the mountains, using the cover of the night.
Using physical means instead of magic, besides saving magic power, was to avoid attracting the attention of those existences in the Angelicia Mountains.
At this moment.
Even Minori himself didn't know which faction's territory he was currently in the sky above in the Angelicia Mountains.
Dwarves? Quagoa? Frost Dragons? Or Frost Giants and other forces.
If he didn't have the "Flight" magic and relied on walking to enter the Angelicia Mountains, he didn't know how long it would take.
These forces are definitely the top existences among humans, not to mention the powerful Frost Dragons and Frost Giants.
Don't think that dwarves are very weak in anime. For dwarves who are good at making weapons, randomly picking out a fully equipped unit can be stronger than the elite of humans.
The Quagoa, because of their racial characteristics, have great resistance to physical attacks, especially the level of the Quagoa King, which has reached the 38th level of the "Irregular" domain.
If the Slane Theocracy sends people into the Angelicia Mountains, unless they send out the [Black Scripture], otherwise the other Five Colors teams, if they rampage here.
Offending any side at random has the probability of being annihilated.
"Almost there, is this the Great Rift?" Minori looked down. With the help of the moonlight and starlight in the night sky, he could clearly see a huge, bottomless valley rift below.
The place he was going was the lava zone in the Angelicia Mountains, which was already located deep in the mountains.
With the high-altitude view, he could clearly observe it, so he was not afraid of flying in the wrong direction.
The location of the Great Rift is not far from the dwarves living in the Eastern Capital.
Minori was most interested in the runes mastered by the other party, but now he had more important things to do, so he only observed the bottom of his eyes and flew over the Great Rift.
Striking fiery red light began to come into view.
Waves of heat accompanied by the flow of air rushed towards him like waves on the sea.
Minori, who was flying in the sky, felt the temperature of the air rise sharply as soon as he entered this lava zone.
In particular, the hot air in this area collided with the cold air on the outer mountains, forming a rather chaotic airflow.
Minori, who was flying stably, was affected, and had to quickly descend from the air and land on the outer area of the lava zone.
Hiss ~ hiss ~
As soon as he landed, the soles of his feet came into contact with the hot rocks, making a "sizzling" sound.
"What an amazing amount of heat, and magic power, it seems to be more concentrated than other locations."
Minori felt the scorching air around him, grinned, and took a few steps back again. In just a short while, a layer of dense sweat had appeared on his forehead:
"Then let's just do it here."
First, he observed his surroundings and found that there were no other creatures in this area, then he nodded intentionally.
In this special area with extremely high temperatures, ordinary creatures cannot approach here except for some monsters that are naturally tolerant to high temperatures.
Minori did not have fire resistance and magic, so he could only stay in the outermost area where the temperature was relatively low.
Raising his head, he could see the sea of lava flowing with scorching light in the distance, which was the center of this lava zone.
Logically speaking, lava should not appear in the high mountain terrain of the Angelicia Mountains, which is covered in ice and snow all year round.
However,
This is a world influenced by magical power, and any strange and unusual places are more or less related to magic, such as the lava sea in front of you.
Below the lava sea, there seems to be a natural portal. The lava here is connected to the lava in the distant area, which is why this abnormal situation occurred.
Bang!
Minori threw the unconscious Quaiesse in his hand on the ground, and the hot ground woke Quaiesse up.
"We can discuss..."
Quaiesse jumped up from the ground reflexively, with a hint of fear in his red eyes, looking at Minori.
"Charm." Minori's eyes flashed with magic power.
Quaiesse's expression froze, and he stood there blankly.
"Tell me the ability of 'Thousand Leagues Astrologer' in its entirety." Minori asked indifferently.
"'Thousand Leagues Astrologer' is a member who is good at detection magic. Their innate ability is..." Quaiesse stammered, and a look of struggle and distortion began to appear on his face.
The other party had already answered Minori's two questions a few days ago, and now it was the third question.
Minori narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Quaiesse's introduction, his caution was indeed correct.
The innate ability of "Thousand Leagues Astrologer" can greatly enhance detection magic. Even ordinary detection magic can exert abilities far beyond the normal level.
"Ah!!"
Before Quaiesse could finish speaking, he let out a scream, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground and died.
[Gained experience: 13512]
[Experience bar: 96419/120000]
"This special magical method is really strange." Minori's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Quaiesse, who died directly after answering three questions.
Looking at the experience points, it was lower than the experience given by the Gray Robe Mage.
"Quaiesse's level is actually lower than the Gray Robe Mage's." Minori was a little surprised, and then thought that the other party was good at controlling magical beasts to fight.
"Revive Dead!"
Minori waved his hand and activated the magic.
At this moment!
On the other side, the Slane Theocracy.
As Quaiesse's hidden identity on the surface, in the "Earth Temple" where he served, the floor of the hall was paved with white marble.
On the surrounding walls, there were also carvings of sacred and ancient murals, with six figures fighting against various demi-human races, full of indescribable mystery.
The entire temple, except for the ground, was based on tea-brown, which clearly explained which one of the six gods was enshrined.
The candlelight flickered!
An old man in a tea-brown priest's robe was kneeling in front of the statue in the temple. The other party was the chief priest of the "Earth Temple".
Bang!
Suddenly, a burst of air exploded out of thin air.
A black-haired figure in simple armor appeared behind the Earth Chief Priest as if teleporting.
The Earth Chief Priest, who was praying with a pious face and closed eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. Before he could turn his head to look behind him.
A serious voice sounded.
"Quaiesse is dead!" The black-haired boy spoke.
The Earth Chief Priest's back stiffened first, then relaxed again. He got up unhurriedly, and said softly in an old voice: "Don't be impatient in anything, this will affect your judgment."
"It is not appropriate for you to appear here with your identity."
The Earth Chief Priest turned around, a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled cheeks, looking at the black-haired boy behind him, and at the same time bowed slightly, showing a respect, and then said gently:
"Although we have made some restrictions on your actions. But as the captain of the Black Scripture, there is no need to report to us about launching the 'Resurrection Magic'."
"The situation now is that Quaiesse cannot be resurrected!"
"Among the people who killed Quaiesse, there is a magic caster who also masters 'Resurrection Magic'."
There was a bit of anxiety in the boy's tone.
The Earth Chief Priest's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and even his half-squinted gentle eyes widened a bit, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Next, you don't need to do anything, I will notify the other chief priests and 'Divination of the Thousand Miles'."
As soon as the Earth Chief Priest finished speaking, he strode away.
