Chapter 372 The Pleasurable Rose

It's not just the guards at the city gate who are quirky.

Upon entering the ice-sculpted castle, they encountered numerous wandering guards. These guards, constructed of ice sculptures, would stop them and question them upon discovering them.

Each guard's question begins with the Queen's Emblem; if no emblem is found, the questioning method changes.

I originally thought that these people would need to be 'tested' before they could be killed, but it turns out that this is not the case. You need to answer their questions and make corresponding responses in order to break the dream protection they are under.

As she fought her way to the castle gate, Celia felt even more exhausted than during Jonathan's castle maze.

"I'd rather face a bunch of traps in an ancient castle maze than solve puzzles with these idiot guards here!"

The girl let out a desperate scream.

She couldn't help but glance at Ross beside her.

Rose's expression became even more pleased.

After entering, there were no obstacles, and his mental energy had already scanned the ruins and the strongholds on the lower levels of the ruins many times over.

After numerous scans, he had long since figured out all the mechanisms.

But he didn't say.

Just like in Jonathan's castle ruins, he only intervened when Celia might be unable to fight.

This relic created by the Polar Blood Alliance, when invoking the magic of dreams, directly unleashes the strongest function of dreams—allowing for the free adjustment of the attack and defense attributes of dream creations.

As long as the dreamer deems it reasonable, even ants can possess an indestructible defense.

However, there's no way to control attack power; how much damage you can inflict on a target in a dream depends on how much dream magic influences the target.

Perhaps because they discovered this problem, the relic creators set the defense of all guards and monsters to the maximum during the creation process, and then set up a mechanism that can only bring the defense of guards and monsters to normal levels by breaking this mechanism.

Rose made his assessment—

Even more disgusting than Jonathan.

Jonathan's ruins were at best malicious.

This is absolutely disgusting.

However, it's quite interesting to see others being disgusted.

Just like now, seeing Celia break down, Ross burst out laughing.

He laughed and said, "I think this level is acceptable. At least your team has Anthony, which is quite interesting. He broke through the mechanics of many enemies. If you were doing it yourself..."

Without hesitation, Celia replied, "I will choose to heed the oracle."

Ross asked with interest, "Oh? Why is it that only one person needs to hear the 'oracle,' but multiple people don't?"

Celia replied matter-of-factly, "I want to be a freeloader when there are a lot of people."

"So unambitious?" Ross chuckled.

"When I explored Jonathan's castle ruins with Elena before, I saw that she was having a great time, and I was so envious!"

Ross couldn't help but shake his head. "Then you're just going through the motions by listening to 'divine pronouncements,' so why not just go through the motions while simultaneously displaying your divine abilities in public?"

The phrase "playing the field while showing off in front of others" means following Rose, acting as his mouthpiece, and putting on airs in front of others.

Celia blinked. "I just want to lie down when I'm only with Lord Ross."

Ross: "..."

In reality, the team finally entered the interior of the ice sculpture castle.

The interior of this castle is much smaller than Jonathan's Castle Labyrinth, and it only has three floors.

Through the various inquiries and problem-solving methods employed by the guards outside, the entire team learned the key to clearing the ruins.

Find the Queen's sleeping place.

By this time, they had already entered the castle.

The interior of the ice castle is decorated much like other castles. The hall leading through the main gate is filled with a large amount of ice-sculpted furniture: sofas, chairs, long tables, fireplaces, chandeliers, and so on—everything imaginable. "Generally, the Queen sleeps on the top floor, overlooking the entire castle," Celia said. "Let's find the stairs and go up."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Celia's words.

However, just as they were about to move forward, the castle gates suddenly closed, and then everything in the hall suddenly changed.

Suddenly, all the ice-carved furniture began to move without wind, and a dark blue vortex appeared in the middle of the long table. All the ice-carved furniture flew into the vortex and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, polar bears, seals, dire wolves, and other monsters appeared in the vortex.

These monsters all exuded a powerful aura.

If they were outside, Celia wouldn't be afraid at all.

But here it is.

Manica's face turned pale: "Do we need to answer questions correctly to harm these monsters?"

Goref shouted and charged forward: "You'll see when you try."

Bang!
With a sweeping motion of the greatsword, a seal was sent flying, and cracks appeared in the ice on its body.

Pamisa's eyes lit up: "These monsters seem to have normal defense, just a little stronger than ordinary monsters. They're fightable!"

After saying that, she rushed forward.

Seeing this, Celia also commanded the puppets to rush up and fight the ice sculpture monster.

The entire castle hall descended into chaos.

However, the situation was not very friendly to Celia and her companions.

"These ice sculpture monsters don't have super strong defenses and don't require any additional mechanisms to break through them, but... their defenses are still too strong."

The same icy rain could blast fist-sized craters into the guards outside, but it could only blast fingernail-sized craters into these monsters.

They can fight, but only a little bit.

It would be better to just order the puppet to charge up with the Myriad Lights Sword and engage in melee combat. At least one strike would create a large crack, and if they were lucky enough to hit the Ice Wolf's leg, they could even sever the leg.

"If only I could combine this with Doris's singularity fire," Celia muttered.

The Singularity Fire greatly enhances the Ice Rain spell; when combined, they act like a reactor, resulting in a violent explosion.

A pure Ice Rain spell combined with Ice Explosion can only create a crater the size of a fingernail, but with Singularity Fire, it can create a crater at least the size of a fist.

"I'll learn the Singularity Fire when I get back!" Celia thought to herself.

The monsters emerging from the dark blue vortex kept coming in, more and more, and the three of them couldn't keep up with the speed at which they appeared.

Sweat began to appear on the faces of the three people.

With her mind highly focused, Pamisa was the first to lose her focus, revealing a weakness.

An ice sculpture of a direwolf seized the opportunity and pounced.

"careful!"

Anthony cried out in alarm and rushed to Pamisa without hesitation. He turned his back to Pamisa, picked her up, and held her with his back to the monster.

Celia raised her hand, hastily conjuring a simple ice shield in front of the two of them.

boom!
The ice shield shattered with a crash, and the direwolf slammed into Anthony's back.

The two were sent flying backward, crashed into a pillar, and fell to the ground.

"Anthony!"

Pamisa panicked and shook Anthony repeatedly while holding him.

"You bastard! Who let you up here?! You...you bastard, don't die! I promise I won't bully you anymore..."

Celia glanced behind her and couldn't help but say, "Miss Pamisa, stop shaking him, or he'll really die."
