Reina did not know much about magic, but she was certain of one thing. She knew that First Lich Nyx’s statement declaring their death once the clock’s minute hand made a full turn was true.

“Wake up, Mercil!!!”

The most ideal situation for Reina and her party was when Nyx’s seal had been left untouched. However, with that situation now impossible as one of the seals had already been lifted, they had to kill him before he could recover his full strength.

Even the Sword God had failed to kill Nyx, but Reina still had one method to kill the bastard in front of her. Of course, the method had a very low chance of success. This was why Reina needed the help of three people.

Mercil, however, was the most important part of her plan. With him unconscious and foaming at the mouth due to Nyx’s overwhelming power, he was out of commission. Now, the plan was flushed down the drain.

Reina released the black and white flames from her body and moved to attack Nyx. At the very least, she had to earn them enough time so that Mercil would be able to recover. In the first place, the gap between her and Nyx’s powers was so huge that she could only fight him with her final move. But if they collapsed right here and now, then everything would be over.

By now, Reina believed that Prince Davey had already exhausted most of his powers. There was also Grand Duchess Kathryn, who had left her trust in them, sacrificing herself by blocking the powerful enemies alone to allow them to go on ahead. These people had helped their cause.

The flames licking Reina’s body crackled fiercely and twisted together.

Bang!!!

At the same time, Reina shot forward like a cannonball. She struck down as if she wanted to split Nyx into two.

“Ho…”

Something black flashed, blocking Reina’s...
