The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Ryan's mind raced, and he immediately said, "I think you must have learned about the stone tablet during your investigation."

Orina and Philin nodded, and then Ryan continued, "The inscription on the stone tablet might be the key to the sacrificial magic. Once the inscription is deciphered, we might be able to obtain some information about the mastermind behind it all."

However, after hearing this, Phil shook his head.

"In fact, the linguists of the Moonlit Knights had previously tried to decipher the cryptic text on the stone tablet. Unfortunately, they ultimately failed and only obtained very limited information."

Ryan nodded in agreement: "Deciphering the cipher is indeed more difficult than we imagined, but Freya has made some progress. The cipher evolved from the ancient script Luden."

Philin's eyes widened.

"You mean... Ludenwen?!"

Luden is the oldest language on the entire continent. Legend has it that it was the language used by the gods when they created the world, and the language itself contains extremely powerful magic.

Even the core of constructing the world is hidden in Ludenwen.

However, this script has long been lost, and even the pronunciation has not been preserved, leaving only an empty shell of a legend.

Even the linguists of the Knights of the Moon were unfamiliar with Ludenwen.

Unexpectedly, there was someone in the college who knew Lu Dengwen, and that person was even his mentor.

"So, where is that mentor named Freya now?" Orina asked Ryan.

Ryan thought for a moment and replied, "She's at home. Right now, she's probably still working on deciphering the cipher."

The three exchanged glances and immediately made a decision.

"Come on, let's go meet her."

------

late at night.

Everything was so quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

Freya has completed a small portion of the cipher deciphering work.

Although it's just some fragmented sentences, the deciphering method has been found, and soon she will be able to decipher most of the cryptic text.

Stretching, Freya stood up, ready to stretch her body.

But just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a fleeting light outside the window.

Ok?

what is that?

Freya went over and opened the window.

A gust of wind blew into the room through the window. Freya felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

Just as I was about to close the window, I found that everything in front of me was spinning rapidly, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Freya saw her body swaying before collapsing to the ground, large patches of blood staining the ground red.

Freya didn't understand what had happened; all she felt was darkness before her eyes, and everything vanished into nothingness.

Chapter Fifty-Four: A Highly Purposeful Assassination

Just when all was quiet, a light illuminated the darkness.

Then, Freya suddenly opened her eyes, panting heavily, her clothes soaked with sweat.

Freya touched her neck and felt a chill run down her spine.

What exactly were those scenes...?

Freya touched the crystal pendant on her chest, which was her magical tool.

The crystal pendant is covered with dense cracks.

Unlike other magical artifacts, this pendant does not provide any magical power boost, nor does it have any practical combat ability, but it has a very powerful characteristic: time reversal.

However, this magical tool can only be used three times.

Once the crystal pendant shatters completely, the magical artifact becomes completely ineffective.

Now that the crystal pendant has shattered, it proves that what just happened... was indeed true.

Someone wants to kill me!

Freya nervously looked out the window.

Just like before, a bright light flashed by.

If she did what she did before and went to open the window, her head would be chopped off!

Damn it, who wants to kill me?

Moreover, when did they do it? How come they didn't notice anything unusual?

Freya didn't have time to think about anything else. She used magic to collect all the documents on the table, got up, and headed straight for the door.

Just then, a sound of shattering glass rang out behind them, followed by a gust of cold wind!

Before Freya could escape, her body was cut in two.

In her last moments of consciousness, Freya looked out the window, thinking that she had to at least see the killer's face!

But... there was nothing outside the window, only pitch blackness.

Damn...

------

"what!"

Freya sat back down in her chair, and the time reversal was successful.

The pendant is already severely damaged; the next time will be the last time it can be rewound.

Freya wiped the sweat from her face, immediately used magic to collect the documents on the table, and rushed outside.

This time, Freya acted faster than before, leaving the room before the cold wind arrived.

Freya didn't know who the other party was or what method they used; she only knew that the other party was a wind-attribute mage.

As for the reason for his assassination attempt, perhaps it was the secret text he had deciphered...

With this thought in mind, Freya immediately tried to contact Tracy using magic, wanting to tell her the information she had obtained. However, her magic was interfered with, and she couldn't send the message out at all!

Freya's heart was completely broken.

At the same time, strange noises began to emanate from the room behind them, with the sound of strong winds tearing through objects constantly echoing through the room.

run!

This was Freya's only thought.

Freya activated her dark magic, slipping into the shadows and moving swiftly along the shadows of objects, eventually escaping the room!

Next, she needs to find her companions!

Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and shattered in front of her shadow.

It was a man whose face was obscured by a black cloak.

It turns out that more than one person killed her!

Without uttering a word, the man raised the dagger in his hand, channeled his lightning magic, and stabbed fiercely at Freya's shadow!

My disguise has been seen through!

Kofreya is, after all, a dark attribute mage with five circuits. With the attack right in front of her, she can't just sit here and wait to die!

Countless shadowy claws rose from the ground, grabbing the man and pulling him up. One hand swiftly reached the man's neck and then twisted it forcefully!

The expected cracking sound did not occur; instead, the Shadow Claw was directly dispersed by the lightning.

The opponent is stronger than me!

Freya made a quick judgment and used Shadow Leap to create distance between herself and the man, causing him to miss his attack.

Before the man could react, Freya activated all five magic circuits and leaped rapidly away from him.

The man looked at the dagger in his hand, then at the direction Freya had fled, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Lightning strikes again!

Meanwhile, in Freya's room, the man, having gained nothing, looked utterly disappointed.

Upon hearing the thunder, excitement gleamed in the man's eyes once more. He merged with the lightning amidst the raging wind and chased after Freya together.

It was the dead of night, and shadows were everywhere. Freya's shadow leaps were faster than the movement speed of a lightning mage!

After several leaps, her magic power was rapidly depleted, but she managed to create a safe enough distance between herself and her pursuers.

Suddenly, Freya saw a figure standing on the street not far ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Tracy!

Freya was overjoyed and was about to rush over when she noticed a strange smile on Tracy's lips.

No, she's not Tracy!

As if in response to Freya's guess, "Tracy's" appearance quickly changed, and she became a woman wearing a black bodysuit.

Although Freya did not approach rashly, her momentary hesitation still created an opportunity for the woman.

She suddenly raised her right hand and clenched it tightly!

A gigantic shadow claw emerged from the shadows where Freya was, forcing Freya's true form out!

It turns out that the woman, like Freya, is a dark-attribute mage.

Shadow Claw grabbed Freya tightly and lifted her in front of the woman.

Despite Freya's desperate struggle, her opponent was stronger than her, and with her magic suppressed, she was unable to break free.

At the same time, lightning and a gust of wind followed closely behind, and two men stood beside the woman.

"I didn't expect this woman to run so fast."

"But no matter how fast she ran, she was eventually caught."
