Chapter 177: Mushrooms, So Big (Request for Recommendation Votes, Request for Monthly Tickets)_4
As Elsa was being watched by Bailuo, she grew nervous, but luckily, Bailuo noticed this and said, "It's just a performance, Elsa, calm down and relax."
"Yes."
The girl cared so much about Bailuo's opinion, eager to show her best side, fearing that failure would disappoint Bailuo.
Lilith: "Let's begin."
"Okay."
"Crystal Refract, that's the name I've given this special magical substance."
Without any fuss, Elsa began by introducing the unique aspect of the substance: "Your Majesty and Master, please watch."
Elsa took out her magic wand and with a casual flick, a flame danced up into the air.
[Secret Technique: Crystalline Inner]
Suddenly, six glass surfaces appeared around the flame, binding it inside like a cube.
"My secret magic, Crystalline Inner, a special kind of sealing magic."
"It is not of the ice series, but of the crystallization series," Elsa said: "A sealing magic that encases all things by a special technique."

This was a very unique sealing skill, its essence not truly a sealing skill, but rather a slow passage of time.
She created a crystalline structure around the flame that decelerated its changes.
"Next is my secret technique."
Elsa raised her hand, and outside the cube that already bound the flame, another cube appeared.
[Secret Technique: Crystal Refract]
The first layer of sealing used time to slow down the changes in all things, while the second layer sealed away the first layer.
"This..."
Bailuo looked at Lilith, who said, "Little Elsa, take a rest."
Lilith saw how weary Elsa had become, the continuous use of her secret technique was putting quite the strain on the girl.
Therefore, Lilith casually tossed a glass of water from the table.
The glass turned into a cat mid-air, and upon landing, it instantly transformed into a soft, cat-shaped sofa.
"Have a seat, Little Elsa."
Lilith said: "The impressive thing about Crystal Refract is that it can seal nearly all abilities and does not care about the opponent's traits or type."
"Anything at all?"
Bailuo asked: "Even if it's unknown?"
"No need to understand it, that's its feature."
Lilith said: "Little Elsa's secret 'Crystalline Inner' can temporarily seal all things, but because it can't decipher, this seal wouldn't work."
"But what Crystal Refract seals is Crystalline Inner itself."
"It's like an unknown thing hitting a box; I don't need to know what's inside the box, just knowing the box is enough."
Lilith said: "Time, space, Greedy World Power, Rainbow Power, Fairy Power, demonic energy..."
"First, use Crystalline Inner to package it, then package Crystalline Inner again, perfectly solving the problem."
Of course, the consumption in between was massive.
Only someone like Lilith, a Miracle Entity with infinite mana, could package it so effortlessly.
As for Elsa...
She was so tired that she couldn't even speak.
"Crystal Refract involves some rule-related tricks," Lilith said: "Its strength doesn't depend on size. Even if it appears only palm-sized, it could be sealing something much larger."
"Master, please watch."
Lilith raised her hand and dozens of fireballs appeared simultaneously: "Next, I can release dozens of Crystalline Inners first."
Dozens of transparent crystalline cubes wrapped all of the fireballs.
"Crystal Refract!"
In a single move, dozens of small cubes were all packed into one larger cube, completely immobilizing them.
"This magic is quite impressive."
Bailuo thought for a moment: "But can it only seal unidirectionally?"
"It can be released, brother Bailuo."
Elsa lay weakly on the cat sofa, adding: "It can be used like the bombs you've mentioned before and the magic scrolls."
In other words, the greatest strength of Crystal Refract was its ability to store many things.
What's more fearsome is, the 'refract' in Crystal Refract doesn't mean twice, but rather, again and again!
"Crystal Refract: Tier Three Seal!"
Lilith raised her hand and proceeded to seal the cube that sealed the sealed box within another seal!
"Can it be infinitely nested?"
"As long as one understands deeply enough," Lilith said: "Yes."
A very powerful sealing skill, like layers and layers of password locks, each layer more complicated than the last.
Only by unlocking them all would you reach the ultimate secret.
This, is Crystal Refract.
"As a secret technique, it touches upon the laws of fairy magic," Lilith commented: "As long as you don't encounter those who can dominate various laws, this move is very strong."
"Once caught by it under the laws, it will be sealed?"
Rule Dominance was a power that only kings above the level of Master could wield.
While Elsa's secret technique was powerful, in the eyes of the kings, it wasn't much.
"It doesn't work on people."
Lilith said: "Heroes inherently possess higher-order passives, including superior temporal acuity and anti-spatial abilities."
The resistances and passives of Miracle Troop Type entities were too numerous; against them, one had to fight head-on.
Even now, Lilith as a master could not defeat a Heroic Level opponent in a single hit.
"But for countering certain secret techniques, or the enemy's attacks and moves, Crystal Refract will be incredibly 'buggy'."
After Lilith finished speaking, Bailuo understood: "Is this the legendary 'I might not know your move, but I can seal it' concept?"
Bailuo thought of Nors and Sheila, who labored hard over their secret techniques; just as they executed them and before achieving any results, having them sealed must be utterly frustrating.
"How is it released?"
"Like this."
Lilith raised her hand and conjured a miniature Fairy Garden within her other palm. She controlled the triple-sealed crystal and threw it inside.
