Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 177 The past, right and wrong, right and wrong, and the freezing of the end (Part )
  This should be able to counterattack, and can we save Rigel, right?
  Feeling that the suction on her body had weakened, Qiaoceline couldn't help but secretly rejoice. She turned around without looking at the changes on her body, and swung a slender slash in an attempt to destroy the magic circle that was trying to kill her.

However, before her attack had time to touch the magic circle itself, several ice picks flying from the other direction blocked these menacing attacks at the right time.

"you…"

Seeing that the blow she had measured for strength was frozen without any chance of retaliation, Qiaoceline could not help but let out a cry of surprise. But soon, she put away this unseemly emotion and turned all the shock and anger into a more powerful [Water Knife].

Facing this attack that was bluer and deeper than before, the Water Sage still maintained a calm and calm look. Without looking at the direction of the opponent's attack, he once again gathered a magic circle at his hand. Attacks from students were easily defused.

"Why, why do you use ice magic!"

Finally, after countless failed attempts, Qiaocelin, who was originally just suspicious, blurted out her doubts without any hesitation after confirming that every time the magic was used up, enough ice crystals were left.

"It's only temporary."

The Water Sage glanced at the girl who was gradually approaching him, and replied concisely but softly.

"For now?" Jocelyn jokingly grabbed some small translucent fragments that had not had time to dissipate and displayed them, "Oh, don't be ridiculous. Such an impeccable arrangement of magic elements and the ability to freeze everything. How can the effect be at the level that a magic wand and other auxiliary props can achieve!"

"Ugh……"

Feeling the determination and aggression in the student's words, the Water Sage could not help but sigh pitifully again, without replying, and once again blocked the powerful attack directed in the direction of the door.

"Answer me, why do you know how to use ice magic? Why do you hide the fact that you know ice magic from everyone!"

Realizing that the blocking power on the other side was increasing, Qiaocelin did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly mobilized more water elements in the surrounding area to try to compete.

"I said everything will be answered soon."

Sensing a change in the aura on Qiaoceline's body, the Water Sage hurriedly tightened his seal on the living room door, and looked warily at the figure in the center who had broken through the shackles of the magic circle.

"Then how can we remove the abnormality on Rigel!"

After trying to ask a few more questions, seeing that the old figure standing peacefully at the door still had no idea of ​​further answers, Qiaocelin sighed almost inaudibly, and then asked about another thing that concerned her very much. .

"There is no need to lift it." While defending against the various attacks released by the students one after another, while maintaining the seal at the door, he added, "As long as you are willing to give up resistance, you and him will have a brand new one in the near future... "

"Liar!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Qiaoceline changed her previous wavering and rejected it. "Calm down, Lifford. If I really want to kill you, I can end everything before you leave the Water North District."

After slowly adapting to the intensity of the student's attack, the Water Sage couldn't help but relax his guard a little, and responded kindly without changing his expression.

"No, that's not the case. If you really wanted to help me, you wouldn't have secretly tampered with Rigel's scroll. You wouldn't have followed us all the way here and taken Rigel's life. Come threaten me!"

Qiaoceline stubbornly shook her head and denied any answer that conflicted with her thoughts. The desire in her heart to destroy everything and tear everything into pieces gradually became stronger as she continued to deny it.

【Hate? Desperate? It's obvious that he took advantage of you and your friends, yet your family still wants to claim justice that is not real. 】

In her mind, Xiela continued to strengthen the hatred in Qiaoceline's heart, shaking her increasingly fragile defense step by step.

Almost at the same time, Qiaoceline found that several more scenes suddenly appeared in her mind.

There is the admiration of seeing the sage of water for the first time, and there is also the teacher’s patient guidance in the subsequent learning process...

This is…?
  Qiaoceline stared blankly as she savored these warm or fulfilling pictures. For a moment, she forgot her original purpose and began to think about whether what she had done during this period was right or wrong.

[Be clear and don’t be deceived by him. These memories are just what he wants you to see! Have you forgotten the companions who were forcibly sealed by him, the people of your tribe who died tragically at his hands, and the caution that he hid even the most basic magic attributes from you? 】

No, I have not forgotten, I also want to know the truth, and I also want to know why things developed to this situation!
  While Qiaoceline continued to fight off the attacks, she tried her best to deny the screams in her heart.

[Then give your body to me, and I will help you get out of trouble and help you get the truth of the matter! 】

"But…"

【Do you want to be sealed? Do you want your companion's efforts to be worthless? No time to hesitate! 】

"okay, I get it……"

Pictures of either panic or unwillingness flashed by. Qiaocelin took a deep breath and finally gave up her last struggle, letting her consciousness sink into the endless darkness...

　The chapter has been revised. Although I am not very satisfied yet, it is slightly better than last night. Anyway, let’s read it first...
