"So who exactly destroyed the energy source of the Mage Capital?"
Thinking about it now is useless, Erica sighed helplessly.
There's no other way; we're going to die either way, so we have to unleash the Dark Archmage.
It is said that the Dark Archmage has been sealed here for hundreds of years, and the strength of the seal is precisely due to its special nature.
Because Exodia once pursued the ultimate in dark magic, he forcibly fused magic with his flesh and blood, eventually transforming into a three-headed giant.
This allows his limbs to be disassembled, making them easier to separate and handle during the sealing process.
The Grand Master sealed his left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot, and torso, while the three heads were attached to the torso.
This sealing method aims to sever his magical connection, thereby significantly weakening his power.
At the same time, even if Exodia unlocks a part of the seal, he cannot coordinate the movement of his whole body.
The three heads remaining on the body each possess their own consciousness, causing confusion and making it difficult for the body to regain its senses.
Therefore, to break Exodia's seal, his five separated body parts must be found and fused together.
Fortunately, Erica had a map.
Thinking of this, Erica pulled a brand new paper map out of her pocket.
The deep black above looks as if it has just been drawn, detailing the approximate location of Hyjal.
This is clearly a map that Viktor just drew.
Erica: "..."
I have no idea how Professor Victor knows so much, even where this thing is sealed.
According to the map, if Hyjal is viewed as a whole body, then the surrounding parts are like separate limbs.
Therefore, Erica quickly located the missing parts.
Each of their hands was buried in the floating dust, and when Erica dug them out, their surfaces were still covered with thick and complex magical locks.
Its feet were hidden among the tree roots, their surfaces also covered with dense magical locks.
Each part was exceptionally large; even half a hand was a head taller than Erica.
Erica pushed and pulled, struggling for a long time before finally managing to move these heavy, rock-like body parts over.
After completing this arduous task, Erica checked the map again.
The Dark Archmage's remaining body is buried beneath this sacred tree, saving him the trouble of digging.
Professor Victor told her that she only needed to place the four limbs in the appropriate positions and cast a specific spell to complete the task.
Erica watched as the limbs were correctly positioned one by one, forming a seemingly normal posture, and then nodded.
That should be about right.
Then, she closed her eyes, recalled the magic taught by Professor Victor, and began to chant softly.
"My soul wanders between darkness and nothingness, my thoughts drift in ambiguity and haze,"
"May the foolish soul leave its body, so that its ancient spirit may temporarily dwell in this world."
"Rotting flesh and blood, the dignity sculpted by time, lend me a helping hand."
Soul Transfer
The next second, a wisp of mist gently drifted out from Erica's body, seemingly taking away all her fatigue.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble silently, gradually becoming restless and agitated.
At that moment, Erica felt an unexpected surprise.
"It worked!?"
She gasped in surprise.
However, before he could finish speaking...
The next second, Erica felt everything go black, her body suddenly went limp, and she fell unconscious on the ground.
While unconscious, she seemed to hear a piercing alarm ringing in her ears.
Woo-woo-woo-woo
"[Level Zero Warning for the Magic City: The Dark Archmage has broken the seal and returned to the mortal realm]"
"[Non-combat mages, please maintain order and leave Endymion immediately!]"
"[Combat mages, proceed to Hyjal immediately to deal with level zero danger!]"
"Level Zero Warning for the Magic City..."
The sharp and piercing sound echoed in Erica's dazed consciousness, over and over again, several times in a row.
In a daze, Erica gradually woke up, supporting herself with one hand on the ground and covering her head with the other.
"Strange, why did I suddenly faint?"
Before she could even recall what had just happened, that sharp voice rang in her ears again.
At that moment, Erica was suddenly startled.
Now I remember, she was just breaking the seal on the Dark Archmage.
It seems the seal has been broken!?
"Could it be that the Dark Archmage has already escaped?!"
Erica was startled and hurriedly tried to stand up and run outside.
"Oh no, I have to tell Professor Victor right away!"
But the moment she stood up, she noticed something unusual about her surroundings.
The lush trees around suddenly became only as tall as shrubs.
Her gaze stretched endlessly, and shrouded in darkness, her eyes were filled with a lush forest.
Wait... how did her perspective become so high?
You didn't use levitation magic, did you?
Erica was a little confused.
However, as her gaze swept downwards, her sharp eyes landed on a woman lying unconscious on the ground.
The other person was wearing a black trench coat, with a golden ponytail swaying on her head, and her beautiful face was extremely similar to hers.
No, that's her!
Wait a moment?
She's Erica, so who am I?
Erica blinked, lowered her head, and stretched out her two enormous, giant hands to examine the object closely.
I felt a sense of unfamiliarity with these hands and fingers.
And then...
"ah?"
Am I the Dark Archmage?
