The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

Indeed, the thick cage pillars began to twist and deform, and continued to expand to both sides.

Good heavens, if that punch really hit me, wouldn't I be sent flying and turned into a star in the sky?

Thankfully, I didn't have a serious, all-out fight with her, otherwise, I don't know what the outcome would have been.

After about half a minute, the two thick iron bars of the cage were finally pulled apart.

However, the gap was not wide enough for Barbiefen to escape from inside.

So she grabbed the other two iron pillars and began to pull them with the same force.

At this moment, I could see that the black cloth on her forehead was covered with blue veins, and the black cloth wrapped around her arms burst open when she pulled it a second time.

Sure enough, this thing wasn't so easy to pull apart.

Pulling apart two strands is fine, but pulling apart two more... well, that's quite difficult.

Then, a patch of red skin was directly exposed in front of me.

Hey, this skin color looks so familiar. Where have I seen it before?

Anyway, we're allies now, and she's even gone to great lengths to help me save William's daughter, Barbiefen, which proves she's not a bad person.

In that case, I should trust her completely.

However, at that moment, I seemed to sense a terrifying yet powerful magic.

Yes, this magical feeling is just like the appearance of an evil god...

Although it's far inferior to the Demon King, it's still better than him.

"I never expected that two little mice would sneak in."

At that moment, a loud and quite steady voice suddenly reached my ears from a distance.

Then, this powerful magic began to spread towards us at an extremely fast speed.

"How is it? Is it done?"

"Just a little bit more..."

At this moment, the female thief gritted her teeth and exerted considerable effort to pull on the very sturdy and thick cage pillars.

Then, a black beam of light shot over from a distance, intending to hit the phantom thief who was still binding me tightly.

Of course, I couldn't let this guy who had sneaked in from afar interfere with her rescuing Barbiefen, so without saying a word, I once again gathered my magic power into my Aurora Blade.

"Blade of Annihilation!"

In an instant, my Aurora Blade burst into flames once more.

Then I continued to gather my strength, unleashing a full-force slash at the black beam cannon rushing towards me.

Then, my Flame Annihilation Flying Slash directly crashed into the black light cannon.

However, to my utter surprise, my Flame Annihilation Flying Slash failed to shatter the black light cannon. It merely deflected it, and both of them began to slowly fly upwards.

Then, with a loud "boom," our attacks crashed directly into the massive rock on this ancient ruin, which was tens of meters high.

I never expected that it could be evenly matched with my Flame Annihilation Blade's Flame Annihilation Flying Slash. It seems that this enemy is quite troublesome.

Therefore, I need to find a way to deal with this properly.

Chapter 105 Showdown with Duke Harman

Sure enough, the stones on this ancient ruin were quite sturdy.

After our powerful attack, only some rubble fell...

It seems a battle is inevitable this time, and escape is unlikely.

However, at that moment, a series of crisp metallic sounds, like metal hitting the ground, suddenly reached my ears from behind.

I immediately turned my head to look, only to find that this time... the phantom thief had not only bent the thick cage pillar, but had also broken it.

Good heavens, this is really good heavens, this is just too strong.

Honestly, this is the first time in the world I have ever seen a woman with such great strength.

If there were any world records, she would definitely be... the number one candidate.

At this moment, she collapsed onto the ground, and her once thick arms began to slowly return to their original size.

Then, large beads of sweat soaked her headscarf and began to drip onto the ground.

It seems that the phantom thief is unable to move for the time being.

As expected, I have to face this sudden enemy attack alone, and it's impossible for her to come to my aid.

However, that makes sense. To be able to bend and break those two thick cage pillars requires an immense amount of strength. It's already quite an achievement that she didn't collapse from exhaustion and faint... Moreover, the fact that she could sit on the ground, panting heavily, proves that she still has some strength left and can recover.

If the enemy is truly incredibly powerful, then I'll be buying her time. Once she's able to move, I'll take Barbiefen and escape first, and then I'll figure out how to escape myself.

That's definitely a very good idea.

Anyway, there's no one in this world who can trap me, so all I need to do now is fight with all my might.

Sigh, it's a bit of a waste that my noble attire, which cost thirty silver coins, is going to be ruined in battle.

Just as I was lost in thought, a middle-aged man, emanating black energy, slowly drifted in from the sky.

That's right, this guy is none other than the dwarf duke Harman, whom I saw in the banquet hall celebrating his daughter's birthday.

The Duke of Harman's current appearance is clearly not that of a normal person. If I'm not mistaken, he should know that our opponent this time is us, and he must have used some special means to achieve this.

"I never expected that you two rats would dare to trespass into my research area. Heh, since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Today, it's either you die or I die. Prepare to die."

As he spoke, he raised his arm.

In an instant, a scepter resembling that of the Lich King appeared in his hand.

Then she aimed at me and fired another black magic beam, just as powerful as the first one.

Good grief, this guy doesn't even need to chant to cast spells...

Since that's the case, I have no choice but to avoid it.

Because I wanted to unleash the same Flame Annihilation Blade as before, which required charging up, but she didn't even chant or charge up before launching it directly at me.

Sure enough, there was no way I could dodge it.

Left with no other choice, I instantly gathered my magic on my back, summoned the Wings of Light, and then "whoosh," I flew into the sky.

Then, Duke Harman's attack missed its mark and exploded directly onto the hard floor.

However, the power of its attack was almost the same as before, instantly creating a crater in the solid ground of the ancient ruins...

Seriously, if that hit someone, they would be blown to bits in an instant.

Just thinking about it makes me tremble a little, and I start to shudder a little.

"You little mouse, you can even fly! Looks like I'll have to get serious with you."

At this moment, he released the magic staff in his hand, and miraculously, it floated into the air.

Then it took out a bottle of medicine from its waist and swallowed it all at once.

Sure enough, I knew something was off. It turns out he must have taken some kind of forbidden medicine.

Otherwise, it's truly rare to find someone with similar strength to me, who is practically a goddess.

"I thought this place was hidden so perfectly, but I never expected that someone would actually be able to open it. You are not interested in the treasures outside, but instead came into my research area. Since that's the case, I don't care about anything else. You can all die!"

He knew for certain that researching monster cores was a highly taboo subject, and that the Adventurers' Guild had the right to investigate it.

No matter how noble or high his status is, if he has violated taboos that should not be touched, he must be investigated.

This is probably the legacy of our ancestors.

Therefore, even if a beggar claims that Duke Harman's mansion contains forbidden research on magical cores, the Adventurers' Guild would still investigate directly.

If the investigation finds out, Duke Harman's entire family will be implicated and executed; if the investigation fails, the informant will be handed over to the accused for processing.

As for how it will be handled, well, you can imagine. I don't even dare to think about that kind of scene.

However, having these wings of light is incredibly convenient for me. If it weren't for them, I really would have been hit.

"It can even fly?"

Upon seeing that I could fly, Duke Harman seemed somewhat disheartened, perhaps knowing that I might not be as simple as an ordinary person.

However, with this guy around, the dwarf kingdom is bound to be in turmoil.

Perhaps next time it won't be as simple as a giant black lizard; perhaps there will be a giant red dragon, or even a berserker dwarf.

But why was he studying this fall...?

Honestly, I'm really curious.

However, I didn't have time to think anymore, because it was muttering ancient incantations, as if it wanted to cast a very powerful high-level spell on me.

Sure enough, I couldn't just sit and wait to die, so I extinguished the smoke blade of my Aurora Blade and then unleashed my light-attribute ultimate move.

At that moment, I closed my eyes and began to gather my magic power.

That's right, this is one of my most useful tricks, but I haven't used it until now. It seems that today I'll use you, you scoundrel, to test the power of this trick.
