Chapter 3797 "Unicorn" Knight

Shortly after Ellie destroyed the third of the thirteen seals, Mr. Mortis, Mr. Zarathustra, Katrin Schwartz, and "Father" also successively discovered seals located in different parts of the snow mountain.

This process is certainly not as simple as finding a location by braving the wind and snow and then directly breaking the seal. Different trials and tribulations await them at each seal.

Among them, Mr. Zarathustra was the fastest. With the help of the card player, he found a way out of a series of unstable spatial rifts and finally broke the fourth seal.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mortis and "Father" both found the serpentine rune and shattered it in the same round of the card game. The former encountered a humanoid relic sitting alone by a campfire on a snowy night, wanting to tell him a story, while the latter inexplicably stumbled into a cave and was forced to wager his soul in a dice game with a terrifying being who was not a relic.

Even with the "Puppet Master's Script," if it weren't for the player's assistance in using up points from the Fate Dice to gain a crucial stroke of good luck, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave that cave at all.

The events of the same round, when reflected in reality, resulted in the fifth and sixth seals shattering almost simultaneously.

Katrin Schwartz of the Order of Doom was the slowest because she encountered a stranger holding the Ring of Fate just one step away from the seal.

Although the players at the poker table could not see what was happening, according to the poker host, Ms. White, the stranger held a destiny called "Wasteland," which meant that life could not continue and all things would cease to grow.

The specific battle process seemed very simple in Ms. White's description. In the end, it was only because Ms. Erford continuously used the [Item - Shield], [Item - Cloak of Invisibility], and [Power - Speed ​​Spell], combined with the power of the threads of fate woven by the [Prophecy Spinning Wheel], that Katrin Schwartz was able to break the seventh seal first and escape while injured.

Ms. White described the entire battle in just fifteen sentences, but Shad could imagine how dangerous the situation was.

Mr. Snake's followers have begun their operation, proving that none of the five current candidates are a match for them in a direct confrontation. Shad is worried about both Stella and Ellie; he looks at the cards in his hand, hoping that Luvia and Bella have already found a way to influence the game.

However, this time Shad's hopes were dashed. The rapid pace of environmental change on Fatummister Island far exceeded the original plan. The breaking of each seal led to greater chaos in the Falling Star Bay area. The most obvious manifestation of this was the emergence of more enemies from the fog and the seabed. Furthermore, the more perceptive Ring Mages could sense, at the moment the seventh seal broke, that some colossal being beyond the imagination of mortals was gradually awakening from the ground.

The battles outside Time Wheel City and Kyle-Todd Town are relatively stable due to the terrain. However, on the snowy mountain, the battle between the Church and Academy's Ring Mages and the numerous enemies controlled by the apocalyptic fate is quite unfavorable for the Ring Mages.

The monsters tainted by the apocalyptic fate could affect the life rings of ring sorcerers simply by their existence. They could all directly attack the life rings, and only those holding arcs or circles were immune to their influence. This led to those among the various factions who held solidified fates becoming the main force in the vanguard skirmishes, and Vanessa, who had received the blessing of chaos, became the strongest fighter on this night.

The Chaos Blessing was originally meant to protect her from the effects of the apocalyptic environment, but when faced with attacks from fate, this power could actually directly dissolve the power of fate.

Although Vanessa became the second 13th-tier Archwitch after "Chairwoman" Isabella last year, she hadn't shown any particularly outstanding performance in past battles. But on this night, this witch, who could summon golems with the power of the earth and possessed the power of the Enchanted Earth, truly made a name for herself in the material world.

Of course, all of this still had nothing to do with Ellie and Leona. After leaving the twilight area again, the two little unicorns huddled together and discussed their plans, and finally consulted with Mia before deciding to head towards higher points on the snow mountain.

Although there were ring mages fighting all over Mount Fatumumster, Ellie and her party, riding little Leona, did not encounter a single person along the way. Even when they felt vibrations or heard sounds, they were from a relatively far distance.

Leona didn't dislike being ridden by Ellie, while Ellie decided to temporarily maintain her human form for the sake of convenience in future battles.

She clutched little Leona's mane, still contemplating the power she had gained as a Ring Sorcerer. The wind, carrying snowflakes, swept past them, casting pure white shadows behind Ellie and little Leona, while the flames on Mia's tail above Ellie's head continued to illuminate their path.

The higher they went up the mountain, the stronger the snowstorm became. But for Ellie, who had been living with Chloe in the far north, this snowstorm was nothing.

Riding on little Leona's back, she cast a spell to create an icy light shield to protect everyone from the wind and snow. After defeating a snow leopard with two heads and obtaining the Miracle - [Split] rune, they officially crossed the mountainside.

The blizzard intensified at this altitude. Little Leona was walking on a steep snow slope, and Ellie's intuition told her that it would probably be another several tens of minutes before they found the next seal.

As they walked, little Leona suddenly let out a hostile hooves towards the front.

Ellie looked ahead and saw a human riding a black horse watching them from above the snowy slope in the snowy night. The person was dressed in heavy black knight's armor and held a longsword; it was standard knightly attire.

However, its horse had black eyes and its entire body was surrounded by black flame phantoms in the wind and snow, so the mount was clearly some kind of impure demon.

As for the "knight" itself, both Ellie and Leona could smell the stench unique to undead creatures emanating from it. The "demon-undead" combination before them was clearly the kind of creature that pure holy beasts loathed most, and the unicorn girl's pale silver-gray eyes also saw that the other party held the Ring of Fate.

【Ring of Fate - Evil】, this fate is actually completely countered by Iluna's "Punish Evil". But unfortunately Iluna is not here; only two unicorns and a cat are here.

Seeing that the other party was holding a weapon, the humanoid Ellie reached for her forehead. She broke off the phantom of the unicorn horn, and then with a flick of her wrist, a white "sword" appeared in her hand.

But it wasn't a sword at all. Although it had a hilt and a guard, the blade was an enlarged cone-shaped unicorn. Because it lacked a blade, this "sword" could only be used for "stabbing" with its tip.

As for how the sword appeared, Ellie didn't know. The [Unicorn] rune granted her this ability; in Ellie's understanding, it was a miraculous skill brought about by her bloodline talent, which only appeared after she transformed into human form. This also meant that she wasn't the first individual in the unicorn race to possess the ability to transform into a human, let alone have a transcendental professional level.

Thus, the undead demon knight above the snow slope and the unicorn knight below the snow slope launched a joint charge in this unknown corner.

The blackness formed by the evil power of demons and the undead, and the whiteness formed by the pure white light of the unicorn, collided head-on on the snow slope like two arrows. The completely opposite forces annihilated each other, creating a silent explosion. As Leona held her breath, pressing her white light shield against the filthy black light of the demon, Ellie's "Unicorn Sword" also clashed with the sword of the undead heavy-armored knight.

Unicorn bloodlines can pass on interesting magical arts, but not swordsmanship to Ellie. Fortunately, the little unicorn that had accompanied Chloe in countless battles had witnessed the petite witch empress riding a unicorn into battle.

Although most of the time she was protected by everyone and watched the battle from the sidelines, at least Ellie knew what she had to do at that moment.

As the black and white longswords clashed, the chill from Ellie's breath caused frost to condense on the heavy undead knight's armor. While the undead are impervious to cold, extreme cold can impair their agility.

The pure white light emanating from the "Unicorn Sword" further corroded the bodies of the demon mount and the undead knight, while the moonlight faintly attached to the longsword made Ellie's attacks increasingly fierce.

Suddenly, the black ring on the chest of the knight's heavy black armor lit up. A red light shone from the slits in the knight's helmet, and then the power surging from the black knight's longsword sent Ellie flying off Little Leona in a single blow.

The power bestowed by the evil fate completely suppressed the white light of the unicorns. As Ellie landed on the snow, little Leona was also knocked aside by the demonic mount.

The sound of hooves thundering on the snow echoed as the undead demon knight, giving Ellie no chance to catch her breath, galloped over on his mount and swung his weapon, which had transformed into a two-handed greatsword, at her.

"Meow?"

Ellie hugged the cat that was standing on the snow and rolled on the spot, barely dodging the black sword light that stung her skin even before it touched her, thus interrupting the small cat's preparation to breathe fire.

On the other side, little Leona, who had fallen on the snow, had already stood up and was rushing to her rescue, but the undead knight had already aimed his heavy sword at Ellie and the cat on the snow and swung it down once again.
