"No, this is just a monster in disguise..."

Nemo turned to look at Kylos.

"But why is it Ivy-sensei that's impersonating her? Did Ivy-sensei beat you up before?"

Kairos deflected the pursuing light gun and said, bewildered.

"How would I know! Come to think of it, does Ms. Ivy really have such a fierce side?"

After saying that, he suddenly leaped up from the spot and swung his sword at "Ivy".

"Clang!"

With a violent tremor, Kelos's greatsword became stuck in mid-air.

"Ivy" under the sword gently raised her hand, and a card floated in the air.

【Defense】

"What?"

Kairos stared at the card that had blocked his attack, his eyes narrowing sharply.

Before he could react, "Ivy" pulled out another card.

【destroy】

In an instant, an extremely terrifying destructive pressure enveloped Kelos.

Before he could make a move, his equipment began to gradually dissipate.

The aura of destruction not only destroyed his equipment, but also gradually spread to his body, peeling away his skin bit by bit.

"Keiros, come back!"

As soon as Nemo spoke, a chain appeared around Kelos's waist, pulling him back forcefully.

"Whoosh—!"

After returning to Nemo's side, Kelos was still somewhat shaken.

"Phew... Nemo, we definitely can't beat this monster! If we keep fighting, we'll probably really die here!"

Nemo nodded.

"That's true. Let's go back to the competition area first, and while we're at it, let's find Teacher Ivy. We'll come back to Tower when we're all ready."

As he spoke, he touched the academy badge on his chest, preparing to end this Tower Trial.

Suddenly, he froze on the spot.

"What's wrong, Nemo?"

Kelos looked at him with some confusion.

"Did something happen?"

Nemo turned his head in a daze when Kelos asked him the question.

"Kylos... the dome tower was shut down when the match started."

When Kelos heard the news, he was somewhat taken aback.

"What do you mean? The tower is already closed? No, if the tower was already closed, shouldn't we have been forced out by now?"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized a problem.

"Wait... that's not the key point. If the tower is already closed, then where did the monsters we've been fighting before, and those we're fighting now, come from?"

Thinking of this, Kelos stiffly turned his head and looked at "Ivy" not far away.

The other person's eyes shone brightly with gold as they slowly approached them.

With each step taken, a golden pattern lit up behind him, illuminating the space.

When they were less than ten meters away, a card appeared in Ivy's hand.

Under the watchful eyes of Kylos and Nemo, she held the card high.

【destiny】

……

"Achoo!"

Ivy covered her nose and rubbed it, looking somewhat confused.

"Strange, is someone talking about me?"

After thinking for a moment, all she could think of was that Kelos and the others might be talking about her.

"Speaking of which, are they still climbing the tower? But I remember the tower was closed, wasn't it?"

Ivy turned back and glanced at the distant domed tower.

"How about we go back to the tower and take a look?"

Just as she was about to get up, the two little ones beside her pulled her down.

"Sister Ivy, what are you doing? You can't run around like this!"

"Sister Xiaobai entrusted us with this: your life may be in danger recently, so you absolutely must not leave our sight!"

Faced with the two little ones' attempt to stop her, Ivy had no choice but to sit back down in the audience.

"Okay... but I'm a little worried about Kylos and the others. The game is more than halfway over, and they still haven't returned. I'm afraid something might have happened."

After hearing Ivy's explanation, the two little ones considered it seriously.

"That's true. They haven't come back for so long; they must have encountered some danger. But with the strength of Brother Kairos and the others, they shouldn't be in any real danger, right?"

"If you're really worried, Sister Ivy, we can go take a look for you! Don't worry, the two of us are quite capable!"

Seeing the two little ones patting their chests proudly, Ivy nodded.

"Alright then, thank you for your help."

As she spoke, she took two cards out of her pocket.

"If anything unexpected happens, you can also contact me through this."

When Ivy took out the cards, the two little ones waved their hands in refusal.

"No need for that! If anything unexpected happens, Sister Xiaobai will definitely be the first to notice and rush over!"

"Anyway, Sister Ivy, you can just sit here and watch the game. With Sister Xiaobai here to keep things under control, it'll be very safe!"

After saying that, the two little ones vanished in a flash.

Seeing the other person leave, Ivy felt a moment of relief.

"I hope Keros and the others are alright..."

Just then, a clear male voice rang out behind her.

"You're Professor Ivy? The only professor in the Department of Destiny at Dome Academy."

Upon hearing this, Ivy quickly turned around.

It's Galloster.

Upon seeing him, Ivy awkwardly greeted him.

"Hi, hi... It's Lord Gabriel! What brings you here?"

Without much formality, Galloster sat down next to Ivy.

"It's nothing. I just feel like I've seen you somewhere before. I think I've seen you before, it seems like a long time ago. But Teacher Ivy graduated from Dome Academy a few years ago, right? You shouldn't be very old."

When Ivy heard Gallust discussing her age, her lips twitched slightly, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Is that so? Lord Gaelost retired two hundred years ago, and I'm only in my early twenties. There's no way we could have met..."

"But what if you were an immortal being?"

Galloster's sudden remark instantly brought the atmosphere to a freezing point.

"In my hundreds of years of life, I have seen many long-lived beings. The most numerous are the demons of the far west, the elves of the southern continent, or humans like myself who have broken the constraints of conventional lifespan."

As Galloster recounted the story, Ivy stiffly echoed his words.

"Really? Lord Gabriel is truly knowledgeable. I wish I could have traveled to as many places as you."

Galloster ignored her and continued his sermon.

"Among them, I have also witnessed an extremely special kind of immortal species. It is very similar to humans, yet transcends them, mixed with some peculiar bloodlines, and possesses the ability to wield special authority."

He paused for a moment.

"As far as I know, these people are usually women, and they all have a common name."

Galloster looked at Ivy.

"That's the witch."

"Gulp."

Ivy's heartbeat slowed down a second.

She asked somewhat flusteredly.

"So, Lord Galost, do you think I'm some kind of witch?"

As she spoke, Ivy secretly reached for the Destiny cards in her bosom.

Upon hearing her question, Galloster shook his head in surprise.

"No, not at all. I just suddenly thought of this existence and mentioned it to you. Besides, you are very different from the witches I've ever met."

Galloster thought for a moment.

"To put it another way, their figures are generally more mature, or at the very least, they have some curves, while you..."

Galloster glanced at her.

He didn't say anything.
