“Great Spirit of Fire, your grace grants us the warm blessing of light. In the pitch-black night sky, bestow the flames that guide our pathโฆ”
Liya recited the incantation.
Though she was far from practiced, her delivery remained fluid as she constructed the mana circuits for high-level magic in mid-air.
A booming voice echoed in the minds of everyone present.
Monsterโฆ
“Darkness, O Darkness, why do you always blind the eyes of the lostโฆ”
“The black flames will sweep away all the sins of this world. Step with me intoโฆ the abyss of hellโฆ”
The moment the incantation ended, a massive meteor of black fire plummeted from the heavens, slowly crushing down toward Avelinaโs central square.
She can use it after seeing it only onceโฆ
This was the most world-shattering thing Isabella had ever witnessed in her life.
A secret family art, passed down for generations and requiring immense talent to control, was like a mere plaything in her hands.
She had looked at it once and mastered it.
But what Isabella didn’t know was that Liya hadn’t even watched the whole thing at the time; she had only spared it a single glance before running off to chase a stone.
“We have to retreatโฆ”
The youth took out a divine staff with a hint of panic, seemingly possessing his own method of escape.
This was the body he used as his second primary form; it absolutely could not be destroyed!
“Too lateโฆ”
Liyaโs expression turned cold.
Her left hand made a cutting motion, forcefully thrusting the black flames from the sky into a spatial rift.
In the next second, the black flames flickered in mid-air like ghosts.
After shifting positions three times, they smashed into the ground at high speed.
This speed was several times faster than a normal descent.
Liya could have easily used spatial laws to twist their necks, but she would never allow these people to find peace so easily.
She was incensed, and the consequences would be severe.
They had to die in agony amidst the scorching flames.
The moment the Dark Freya flames exploded, Liya used spatial laws to teleport Isabella outside the domain.
She locked the full force of the high-level magic explosion inside the ใDivine Domainใ, forcing the domain to shatter under the pressure.
Thing!
Like shattering glass, the interior of the Divine Domain was far more fragile than its outer shell.
It was blown to pieces by the exploding meteor.
“โฆ”
Liya placed Isabella on a high tower.
The flames in the square gradually spread, like the baleful fires of hell, incinerating several bodies until not even ash remained.
Isabellaโs worldview had been thoroughly compromised as she stared blankly at the scene in the square.
Even as calm as she usually was, her heart was deeply shaken at this moment.
She suddenly felt that her so-called talent was insignificantโnot even worth a speck of dustโbefore this young sixth-tier archmage.
They were simply from different dimensions.
While Liyaโs side looked like a scene of the apocalypse, thunder and lightning suddenly struck the main gate of Avelina nearby, raining down like divine punishment.
“High-level magic againโฆ”
Liya crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, but she didn’t pay it much mind.
Her attention was mostly focused on Airella, who was floating in mid-air.
Was it the Forbidden Demonic Beast that Airella had awakened?
Loseph had told her: Never disturb the demonic beast beneath the ground, and never let it escape.
If it intended to emerge in its peak form, then she must give everything to slay it.
If it only released its physical body, then it could choose its own path.
However, even the least impactful breaking of the seal could destroy half of Avelina.
To minimize losses, she had to start suppressing the power of the Forbidden Demonic Beast immediately.
“Isabellaโฆ thank you for your hard work.”
Leaving behind those words, she didn’t wait for Isabella to react.
With a flash of teleportation, she was floating in mid-air.
Roar!
The moment she reached out to touch Airella, a massive figure suddenly flew out from the rear of Avelina, crashing straight toward Liya.
“โฆ”
The last time the Forbidden Demonic Beast had gone on a rampage, she had been an infant in swaddling clothes.
Now that she finally had a chance to contend with such a legendary creature, even the world-renowned Liya couldn’t help but feel a flicker of excitement.
“Itโs fine if things get a little loud this timeโฆ”
She intended to use her full power!
Lin Yue suddenly lurched to the side.
A long blade grazed his cheek as he dodged the knight’s counterattack in an extreme defensive posture.
Seeing an opening, Isabena countered by firing fire dragon bullets and vine magic as follow-up attacks, preventing the knight from distracting himself to handle Lin Yueโs close-quarters harassment.
Both sides were already wounded, though Lin Yue had only suffered minor injuries while the knight was nearly burned to death.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
He cursed through gritted teeth, unwilling to be defeated by this brat once again.
“Lin Yue Hawke!”
Watching the man chase him frantically, Lin Yueโs excellent dynamic vision and gaming experience worked in tandem, ensuring the knight couldn’t land a single blow.
Instead, Lin Yue managed to sneak in two stabs of his own to draw more blood.
He was at the end of his rope, no longer a threat.
Boom!
A massive commotion suddenly erupted outside the council hall.
The three of them looked up, realizing it wasn’t the Forbidden Demonic Beast causing trouble again, but rather the aura of high-level magic.
“Is thatโฆ Dark Freya’s Flame?”
Isabena, who was most familiar with it, was stunned.
Out of everyone present, only she and Isabella were capable of casting that spell, but Isabella wasn’t a fire specialist.
She had studied a different high-level magic.
Had she learned it in just a few short weeks?
โฆ
“Liyaโฆ”
Lin Yue looked up at the meteor, which was even more spectacular than the one Isabena had summoned, and felt a surge of excitement.
Liyaโs combat style was usually extremely elegant and efficient.
Unless she was truly angry, she would never use such a convoluted method to finish someone off.
In the game, there were many grand spectacles that only she could pull off, but because of Liyaโs personal habits, he hadn’t seen them often.
It was a real pity.
Being able to see it with his own eyes now was like a dream come true.
At the same time, he felt lucky.
It was a relief that the girl hadn’t sought revenge against him for eating her pet back at the start.
This was truly terrifying.
“Is that lord about to fail?”
The knight also sensed that the ใDivine Domainใ had been destroyed, and a hint of madness leaked into his eyes.
“Watch out!”โฆ
Suddenly, a violent burst of Holy Light erupted from within the knightโs body, sweeping through the entire council hall like a blade.
Tโฆ
Isabena suddenly tackled Lin Yue to the ground, allowing them both to narrowly avoid the attack.
“.. “
“What are you dazing for!”
“Sorryโฆ I got a bit distracted.”
Seeing the two of them cooperating with such seamless chemistry, the knight knew deep down that if he couldn’t separate these two troublesome pests, all his plans would go down the drainโฆ
Was heโฆ going to be defeated again?
“Noโฆ it can’t end like this!”
He howled, no longer caring about his rank or power.
He only wanted Lin Yue dead!
“Hahaโฆ hahaha!”
Even if he turned into Mordecaiโs puppet, he didn’t care!
Lin Yue pulled Isabena up as they both stood slowly, looking at the knight with serious expressions.
Seeing Lin Yue acting as if he were facing a great enemy, Isabenaโs expression also turned grave.
“Advent!”
In a flash, Lin Yue suddenly felt isolated.
Just as he was about to turn and check the situation, he found that Isabena had vanished from his side.
Everything around him had turned into black spheres.
Was he pulled into a ใDivine Domainใโฆ
Lin Yue instantly felt all five of his senses vanish.
Only the mana inside his body continued to flow; he could no longer feel even a trace of external power.
This was the first time since coming to this world that he felt this kind of isolation.
It was truly uncomfortable.
It felt a bit like having your phone snatched away in the real world.
Fortunately, his mana capacity was low to begin with, so being restricted didn’t make a huge difference.
“Alreadyโฆ”
Lin Yue frowned slightly as a longsword suddenly slashed past his eyes, leaving a wound on his eyebrow.
“Tchโฆ”
The knight’s movements had suddenly become impossibly fast, making it hard for him to adjust.
“Third-tierโฆ”
He knew exactly why this was happening.
It was because the man had started to cross tiers.
“This feels badโฆ”
Because of the Advent, had he forcibly increased his tier?
