It was impossible for ordinary runes to block his attack. The rune that was able to block his attack for a breath was definitely the original rune of Rune.
Moreover, even ordinary runes became incomparably terrifying in her hands. She only drew three runes, and then the three runes crazily multiplied. She didn't need to do anything, and these runes formed a barrier that protected her inside.
Ryuga didn't know what these runes meant, but he guessed that they were runes that represented 'crafting'.
In other words, she was using runes to create runes.
The turtle-shell-like rune that could multiply infinitely was not easy to break. Even if Ryuga attacked it personally, it would take him a few seconds. But before he could break the barrier, Aoqi Orange would probably run away again like last time.
Aoqi Orange's research on runes had reached an extremely terrifying level.
"But it still can't block your attack, right?"
Aoqi Orange threw a rune stone in her hand on the ground. The stone had already broken into several pieces. She shrugged. "I prepared this rune stone with the original rune of Rune to guard against you, but it couldn't even last three seconds …"
It should be a rune stone with an automatic defense effect.
From what Ryuga saw through Future Vision, even if he didn't care about the automaton fighting Grey and attacked Aoqi Orange directly, his attack would be blocked by the rune stone. Therefore, he first destroyed the automaton fighting Grey and then attacked Aoqi Orange.
By the way, to prevent exposing the cloaked man's true identity, he had already turned off Future Vision.
"Master!"
Grey abandoned the automaton that had been cut in half by Liuxia. She held her scythe and hurriedly rushed to the rune barrier that trapped King II and Lainice. She placed the scythe on the barrier.
The Mana Absorption effect worked on the barrier, causing the runes on the barrier to quickly collapse, allowing King II and Lainice to escape unscathed.
"Phew … I thought I was really going to die this time."
After Lenise walked out of the barrier, she let out a sigh of relief. She looked as if she had just survived a disaster.
"Hmm … I have to thank Yin-yang properly this time …"
Seigo II barely supported his legs so that he wouldn't fall to the ground. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Ryuga and Aoqi Orange who were confronting each other not far away.
"In this way, we should be able to speak on equal terms, right, Ms. Aoqi?"
Although he still looked uneasy, he finally felt that he could speak with confidence now. "My previous promise still stands. I will pay you a satisfactory reward, but the premise is that you must cooperate with us and solve this case."
This case involved the power struggle of the Clock Tower. If he didn't find a way to solve it, Ermero's situation would become even more difficult in the future. Therefore, he had to solve the mystery of Huang Jinji's death no matter what.
"Oh … Alright."
Aoqi Orange muttered to herself for a moment, but she had no choice but to agree. "I really don't have the confidence to deal with both of them at the same time, so I'll listen to your reasoning for the time being."
If it was only Ryuga, she was confident that she could deal with one or two of them. In the worst case, she could run away.
But with Grey, especially with the magic dress in her hands that could absorb magic, she was afraid that she would be beaten to death under the combination of the two.
Although death was nothing to her, and she had long been used to it, she didn't intend to die before the doubts in her heart were solved.
"That's good."
Seigo II finally breathed a sigh of relief. The wrinkles on his face visibly relaxed. "Then, I have a few questions to ask you …"
Seigo II asked all the doubts in his heart.
Aoqi Orange couldn't answer some of the questions, but she answered all the questions that she knew the answer to.
"Thank you for your cooperation. With this, all the puzzles have been solved."
Even though she had tried to kill them, Edith II still thanked her. There was nothing he could do about it. Edith II was much stronger than Ermero. Even if he could temporarily gain the upper hand by relying on Yin Yang Yi and Grai, his students were not something he could do as he pleased.
"Next, I'll have to ask Lady Aoqi to inform everyone to gather at the Moon Tower. I already have a rough idea of the truth of this matter." Seigo II said confidently.
Ryuga's eyes flashed several times, but in the end, she didn't choose to take action.
… …
Moon Tower. Last night, Huang Jinji and Bai Yinji's debut party was held in the hall.
After Aoqi Orange's announcement, the people who were still in the Twin Mask Tower came one by one. Even Balon brought the leader of the invaders, Astram Gariastar, over.
Half an hour later, the monarch of the Baruyeret Tower, the master of the Twin Mask Tower, Balon, Potion Master Mayo, Bai Yinji and her maid Regina, Lainice and Grey, Crown Magician Aoqi Orange, and many other related people were all gathered here.
Ermero II stood in the center of the hall, his face regaining the calm demeanor of a monarch.
"As per your request, everyone else is here."
Aoqi Orange looked around. When she saw that everyone was present, she said to Seigo II, "You should be able to explain the truth of this matter, right?"
"Oh? I've heard that Monarch Ermero II is very good at solving cases. Have you already figured out the truth behind the deaths of Huang Jinji and her maid? "
A mocking smile appeared on Sovereign Baruyereta's face as he spoke to His Majesty the Second.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Madame. I have indeed figured out the entire matter."
Seigo II nodded to the old woman as a form of greeting. "In this case, Lainice was undoubtedly wronged."
"Monarch, are you siding with her just because she is your sister?"
Balon questioned without changing his expression. "In that situation, isn't your sister's magic dress the most likely culprit?"
"At first glance, that is the case. But in reality, Huang Jinji's first death was not there."
Henry II took out a cigar from the pocket of his coat. After cutting off the head, he began to puff again. "Besides, Huang Jinji didn't die because her body was dismembered. She was already dead before her body was dismembered. It's just that her body was dismembered artificially to frame Lenise."
"Hmph, do you have any proof?" Balon looked at Seigo II in disbelief.
"You should know this better than anyone else, right, Lord Balon?"
However, a cold and solemn expression appeared on the second king's face, and the words that came out of his mouth made everyone in the hall fall into a state of astonishment.
"After all, wasn't it you who killed Huang Jinji?"
