Ross laughed and said, "Yes, that's how this ruin works. It borrows a lot of Alina's power to operate. In fact, it's not a low-level ruin, but one that works for all levels. When a high-level player comes, it becomes a high-level ruin, and when a low-level player comes, it becomes a low-level ruin."

Celia was shocked: "Is Miss Alina's power really that great?"

Ross said calmly, "The only difference between the tenth rank and a god is the divine status."

Celia immediately understood.

The tenth and final step of the Ascension to Godhood grants one power comparable to that of a god, even without achieving godhood.

"So here's the question: how do we deal with these two guards?"

Celia fell into deep thought.

She let the puppets join the battlefield and fight freely, while she watched them carefully and silently, trying to find their weaknesses.

Pamisa came to her side, also looking intently, and asked in a low voice, "Do these two guards have any natural enemies?"

Celia countered, "Do humans have natural enemies?"

Pamisa shook her head.

As humans, they were unaware of humanity's natural enemies.

Could it be a god? Or a demon?

Obviously not.

Just then, Anthony, who hadn't joined the battle, suddenly said, "Pamisa, perhaps we can pretend to be guests of the 'Queen' they're talking about."

Pamisa was taken aback, then immediately called out to the guards, "We are the Queen's guests, let us in."

The guards didn't answer, but instead, relying on the protection of the dream, they beat their puppets mercilessly.

Pamisa shook her head: "It seems that won't work."

“No, perhaps, but we need to disengage from the battle,” Celia said.

As she spoke, she manipulated the puppet to quickly move away from the guards and arrive at the edge of Rainbow Road.

Seeing this, Pamisa also commanded the puppet to return. Griff had long since given up on fighting, and seeing that the two of them had retreated, he quickly took the opportunity to escape the battle as well.

After the group left, the two ice sculpture guards did not chase after them, but instead returned to stand on either side of the gate, turning into ice sculptures.

Celia moved forward again.

"The Queen's sleeping place is off-limits without permission."

The voice came again.

Celia began, "Hello, we are the Queen's guests and wish to see her."

A guard said, "To see the Queen, please show her insignia."

"The Queen's emblem?" Pamisa frowned, puzzled. "Where do you get something like that?"

Celia had a vague idea of ​​what the so-called Queen's Emblem was.

It is highly likely that it is a pass for the heretics to return to their stronghold.

Can't enter without the badge?

Celia might not agree.

She began, "We have no badges, but we have important matters to discuss with the Queen."

Another guard spoke up: "Without a badge, you need to pass our test."

After saying this, the two guards trembled again, then stepped forward and assumed a fighting stance.

Celia stepped forward, and the guards immediately rushed over.

Celia raised her staff, and a large amount of icy rain turned into ice needles that flew towards the guards, exploding upon contact.

The numerous explosions quickly blasted craters into the guards' bodies.

When they rushed to within three meters of Celia, their entire bodies were reduced to skeletons.

The next moment, the skeleton was also blown to pieces, and the two guards fell in front of him, well... they died with their eyes wide open?

The two guards, who were previously impenetrable no matter how hard they were attacked, were easily killed after the "test" was presented.

It looks quite interesting.

If it were someone else facing this, Celia would find it very interesting, just like Rose is doing now.

Celia saw Ross watching with a smile as they fought off the guards.

She tried several times to ask Ross directly what the weaknesses of these guards were, but in the end she didn't ask.

Celia is also very strong-willed.

She also understood Ross's mindset.

Watching others play is indeed very enjoyable.

If I were to do it myself...

She just felt disgusted.

Chapter 372 The Pleasurable Rose

It's not just the guards at the city gate who are quirky.

Upon entering the ice-sculpted castle, they encountered numerous wandering guards. These guards, constructed of ice sculptures, would stop them and question them upon discovering them.

Each guard's question begins with the Queen's Emblem; if no emblem is found, the questioning method changes.

I originally thought that these people would need to be 'tested' before they could be killed, but it turns out that this is not the case. You need to answer their questions and make corresponding responses in order to break the dream protection they are under.

As she fought her way to the castle gate, Celia felt even more exhausted than during Jonathan's castle maze.

"I'd rather face a bunch of traps in an ancient castle maze than solve puzzles with these idiot guards here!"

The girl let out a desperate scream.

She couldn't help but glance at Ross beside her.

Rose's expression became even more pleased.

After entering, there were no obstacles, and his mental energy had already scanned the ruins and the strongholds on the lower levels of the ruins many times over.

After numerous scans, he had long since figured out all the mechanisms.

But he didn't say.

Just like in Jonathan's castle ruins, he only intervened when Celia might be unable to fight.

This relic created by the Polar Blood Alliance, when invoking the magic of dreams, directly unleashes the strongest function of dreams—allowing for the free adjustment of the attack and defense attributes of dream creations.

As long as the dreamer deems it reasonable, even ants can possess an indestructible defense.

However, there's no way to control attack power; how much damage you can inflict on a target in a dream depends on how much dream magic influences the target.

Perhaps because they discovered this problem, the relic creators set the defense of all guards and monsters to the maximum during the creation process, and then set up a mechanism that can only bring the defense of guards and monsters to normal levels by breaking this mechanism.

Rose made his assessment—

Even more disgusting than Jonathan.

Jonathan's ruins were at best malicious.

This is absolutely disgusting.

However, it's quite interesting to see others being disgusted.

Just like now, seeing Celia break down, Ross burst out laughing.

He laughed and said, "I think this level is acceptable. At least your team has Anthony, which is quite interesting. He broke through the mechanics of many enemies. If you were doing it yourself..."

Without hesitation, Celia replied, "I will choose to heed the oracle."

Ross asked with interest, "Oh? Why is it that only one person needs to hear the 'oracle,' but multiple people don't?"

Celia replied matter-of-factly, "I want to be a freeloader when there are a lot of people."

"So unambitious?" Ross chuckled.

"When I explored Jonathan's castle ruins with Elena before, I saw that she was having a great time, and I was so envious!"

Ross couldn't help but shake his head. "Then you're just going through the motions by listening to 'divine pronouncements,' so why not just go through the motions while simultaneously displaying your divine abilities in public?"

The phrase "playing the field while showing off in front of others" means following Rose, acting as his mouthpiece, and putting on airs in front of others.

Celia blinked. "I just want to lie down when I'm only with Lord Ross."

Ross: "..."

In reality, the team finally entered the interior of the ice sculpture castle.

The interior of this castle is much smaller than Jonathan's Castle Labyrinth, and it only has three floors.

Through the various inquiries and problem-solving methods employed by the guards outside, the entire team learned the key to clearing the ruins.

Find the Queen's sleeping place.

By this time, they had already entered the castle.

The interior of the ice castle is decorated much like other castles. The hall, which you enter through the main gate, is filled with a large number of ice-sculpted furniture, including sofas, chairs, long tables, fireplaces, chandeliers, and so on.

“Generally speaking, the Queen sleeps on the top floor, where she can overlook the entire castle,” Celia said. “We’ll find the stairs and just go up.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Celia's words.

However, just as they were about to move forward, the castle gates suddenly closed, and then everything in the hall suddenly changed.

Suddenly, all the ice-carved furniture began to move without wind, and a dark blue vortex appeared in the middle of the long table. All the ice-carved furniture flew into the vortex and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, polar bears, seals, dire wolves, and other monsters appeared in the vortex.

These monsters all exuded a powerful aura.

If they were outside, Celia wouldn't be afraid at all.

But here it is.

Manica's face turned pale: "Do we need to answer questions correctly to harm these monsters?"

Goref shouted and charged forward: "You'll see when you try."

Bang!

With a sweeping motion of the greatsword, a seal was sent flying, and cracks appeared in the ice on its body.

Pamisa's eyes lit up: "These monsters seem to have normal defense, just a little stronger than ordinary monsters. They're fightable!"

After saying that, she rushed forward.

Seeing this, Celia also commanded the puppets to rush up and fight the ice sculpture monster.

The entire castle hall descended into chaos.

However, the situation was not very friendly to Celia and her companions.

"These ice sculpture monsters don't have super strong defenses and don't require any additional mechanisms to break through them, but... their defenses are still too strong."

The same icy rain could blast fist-sized craters into the guards outside, but it could only blast fingernail-sized craters into these monsters.

They can fight, but only a little bit.

It would be better to just order the puppet to charge up with the Myriad Lights Sword and engage in melee combat. At least one strike would create a large crack, and if they were lucky enough to hit the Ice Wolf's leg, they could even sever the leg.

"If only I could combine this with Doris's singularity fire," Celia muttered.

The Singularity Fire greatly enhances the Ice Rain spell; when combined, they act like a reactor, resulting in a violent explosion.

A pure Ice Rain spell combined with Ice Explosion can only create a crater the size of a fingernail, but with Singularity Fire, it can create a crater at least the size of a fist.

"I'll learn the Singularity Fire when I get back!" Celia thought to herself.

The monsters emerging from the dark blue vortex kept coming in, more and more, and the three of them couldn't keep up with the speed at which they appeared.

Sweat began to appear on the faces of the three people.

With her mind highly focused, Pamisa was the first to lose her focus, revealing a weakness.

An ice sculpture of a direwolf seized the opportunity and pounced.
