The roar of Xingyue was like a spark thrown into a pot of oil, instantly igniting the deathly silent battlefield!
"The Time Witch?!"
"It's her?!"
"It's over..."
Exclamations and gasps of surprise rose and fell.
Thranduil and the other elven hunters' expressions changed drastically, and they suddenly accelerated their retreat, their emerald light almost bursting into flames.
Kyle and Ruby were even more pale. The forbidden being ranked at the top of the Holy Light Church's wanted list was right in front of them. The impact of this was even greater than when Little M devoured the Seraph's clone!
Mark, Enzo, Monica, Anna, and the Archangel M, who had just completed her metamorphosis and was radiating a seven-colored black light, instantly went into a state of high alert.
Monica glanced at Rita with a complicated expression.
She recognized the mysterious man who had revealed the cause of her father's death, but at this moment, his target was clearly her little M and the entire team, whom she considered family!
Without any hesitation, the power of shadow surged around her, the curved blade gleaming with an eerie light, her stance perfectly clear.
Protect your comrades and fight off the threat!
"The Time Witch?! She's an Epic-level being! If she makes a move here, isn't she afraid of attracting the 'Earth Dragon's' punishment?! Damn it! Turu, block her! Block her!!"
The most exaggerated reaction came from the eldest prince, who was living in Grom.
He was already extremely weak from having his necromantic power forcibly dispelled, and upon hearing this name, he was terrified out of his wits, his last vestige of beast king's dignity vanishing completely.
He let out a terrified, incoherent roar, his massive body unleashing its final survival potential.
Even disregarding the remaining members of the Rotten Vine Alliance, they scrambled and stumbled as they desperately fled towards the shadows at the edge of the battlefield.
Only Turu and a few die-hards remained, desperately trying to form a flimsy defensive line in an attempt to stop the relentless pursuit that was impossible to stop.
In his confused mind, only the legendary "Earth Dragon" that guarded the order of the central continent might be a faint straw to cling to.
The silver spear thrust out by Xingyue tore through the air, crashing into the void in front of Rita with resolute starlight!
However, where the spear tip touched, it only stirred up a circle of fine, pale golden ripples, which easily and silently dissolved and swallowed the starlight spear light.
Xingyue's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her wine-red eyes.
Something's not right!
This is definitely not a defensive stance of epic proportions!
If the opponent is truly the legendary Time Witch in her true form, her naturally emanating pressure alone would be enough to render her all-out attack futile, or even cause it to backfire on her.
The ripples before us, though mysterious, seem to contain an energy level that does not exceed the legendary limit!
It could even be said that this level of strength seems to have only just entered the legendary tier.
"She's not the real thing! Just an avatar! At most, she's only a legendary-level expert!" Xingyue shouted sharply, her voice piercing through the chaotic battlefield, carrying an undeniable warning, "There's still a chance to surround and kill her!"
Before she finished speaking, the star-patterned silver spear in her hand erupted with dazzling light once more, and an even more concentrated shockwave of starlight blasted out. At the same time, she retreated rapidly, creating some distance between herself and the enemy.
Xingyue's judgment was like a stimulant.
Thranduil's emerald green figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, a cold glint flashing in his blue eyes, and he decisively changed direction.
The longbow in her hand burst forth with dazzling natural magical light, and several emerald green tracking arrows tore through space, heading straight for Rita's vital points!
She was proud, but not stupid; she knew perfectly well that if one of them were to fall, the other would be in grave danger.
On the other side, Little Mu, whose aura was still fluctuating after completing her transformation, emitted a strange buzzing sound at Mark's call.
With a sudden flap of its wings, which were shimmering with seven-colored black light, its body transformed into a streak of light interwoven with four colors, carrying a powerful and strange magical fluctuation, and charged fiercely toward Rita!
Its speed was so great that it created a brief spatial distortion behind it.
Faced with the sudden attack, Rita's red lips curled slightly, her lazy smile showing no fear, but rather a hint of playful appreciation.
"Heh, your reaction isn't slow, little girl." She chuckled and lightly tapped the air with her bare feet.
Buzz!
The enormous golden magic circle below, which covered the entire battlefield, suddenly lit up!
As the array diagram shifted, countless pale golden phantoms materialized out of thin air.
It was none other than Thranduil's newly fired emerald tracking arrow, Starshine Shockwave cast by Starmoon earlier, and even the remnants of the necromantic curse hastily released by Tulsaman!
These attacks, reproduced by the time-space array, are like reversed images, precisely meeting the incoming physical attacks.
Boom! Boom!
The emerald arrow collided with and annihilated its own illusory image. The starlight shockwave was mostly neutralized by the clone of the same origin. Even Little Mu's charge was blocked by several copied star and moon spear beams and natural magic, causing his momentum to stall.
"Damn it! She can even copy our moves!"
Thranduil gritted his teeth, his rage burning even brighter in his blue eyes.
However, he had to be distracted by dealing with those pale golden phantoms that appeared out of nowhere and whose attacks were exactly the same as his own.
Every time she blocked or dodged, she felt incredibly frustrated.
The battlefield became even more chaotic.
Everyone must not only attack the red-haired witch in the center, but also be constantly on guard against their own or their companions' "shadows" suddenly attacking from some corner of the magic circle.
The battle between Kyle's squad and the silver-armored knights was forced to a halt, with both sides scrambling to dodge the copying magic flying everywhere, creating a perilous situation.
However, Rita's gaze lingered more on M.
When Little M flaps its four wings, the four magical powers of darkness and holy light, necromancy and starlight, harmonized by the seven-colored black light, form a violent yet harmonious whirlwind of mixed magic.
When they tried to trap her, Rita not only didn't dodge, but instead went to meet them.
The chaotic yet self-contained turbulent flow of magic impacted her protective golden light, emitting hissing sounds.
Despite being in the eye of the storm, Rita showed no anger; instead, she once again displayed the same look of surprise and delight as if she had discovered a new toy.
Golden light swirled deep within his eyes, as if greedily analyzing the composition of this unprecedented magic.
"Interesting, really interesting..."
She even reached out her finger, trying to touch the seven-colored black light flowing in the whirlwind. The golden light at her fingertip briefly touched the seven-colored halo, producing a faint crackling sound.
Unfortunately, no matter how she activated the magic circle, the pale golden phantoms could never successfully reproduce any of Xiao Mu's skills.
It was even impossible to reproduce the strange "abnormal state" attack that Mark, Enzo, Monica, and Anna had when they were empowered by the seven-colored black light.
The distinct magical attributes of the members of Mark's squad seem to be the only "variable" in this time magic circle.
A fleeting hint of displeasure crossed Rita's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a surge of interest.
