The holy flame runes on the armor of the reserve knights around Kyle had long since faded, and each of them was wounded, gritting their teeth and enduring the pain.
Each time their weapons parried a copied attack, their arms went numb and their blood surged.
Cracks have begun to appear at the edges of the fortress, and the cold shadow of death looms over it.
Just as Kyle's squad was about to run out of energy and the Holy Light Barrier was on the verge of collapse.
boom!
In the distance, a pure and vast beam of blazing white holy light, seemingly capable of cleansing all the filth of the world, suddenly erupted like a bursting dam of stars!
With unstoppable force, it tore apart the perennial gray-green miasma above the Lor Swamp.
Like a towering, sacred wall of light, it rapidly crushed towards the chaotic heart of the battlefield!
Wherever the wall of light passed, the pervasive necrotic stench, the chaotic energy turbulence, and even the pale golden radiance emanating from Rita's golden magic circle all melted and dissipated instantly, like snow meeting the blazing sun!
The holy light was so pure and magnificent, carrying with it a chilling will that intertwined judgment and redemption.
It instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and also caused Rita to temporarily stop the endless copying attack of the golden magic circle.
Rita's languid, playful smile froze slightly for the first time.
The golden magic circle beneath her bare feet shone brightly, attempting to stabilize the spacetime domain she controlled.
But the overwhelming wall of holy light carried a power of absolute purification and order, which subtly rivaled her power of time, causing the entire golden magic circle to emit a low hum that could not bear the burden.
Rita's languid expression suddenly hardened, and her ruby-like eyes instantly sharpened like knives, piercing through layers of space and locking onto the holy light rushing towards her like a blazing white torrent in the distant sky.
“Tsk, ‘Chosen Ones’…” Rita’s red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible annoyance and… an indescribable sense of dread, “What unreasonable monsters! They throw their power out like it’s free!”
Her gaze swept over Xingyue and the others below, whose momentum had surged and whose attacks had intensified due to Alfonso's approach.
It lingered for a moment on the Archangel Mum, who radiated a strange seven-colored black light, before transforming into a deeper gloom and rage.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Rita cursed under her breath, clearly venting her anger on those who had failed to hold off Alfonso. "You couldn't even stop a 'Chosen One' who hasn't even truly stepped into the realm of legend? What use are you!"
The blazing white holy light tore through the miasma, its speed increasing rapidly.
The overwhelming pressure caused the entire golden magic circle to emit a low, strained hum, and the last trace of amusement in Rita's eyes vanished completely.
"There's no time."
Her voice was icy, and she stomped her bare foot hard in the air.
Buzz—!
The massive golden magic circle covering the entire battlefield suddenly contracted!
Countless flowing golden runes instantly detached from the ground, frantically converging and weaving upwards as if they were alive!
In the blink of an eye, a giant birdcage made of pure golden time magic appeared out of thin air.
Suddenly, it enveloped both Little M and Mark, who had just completed their transformation!
The golden bars of the birdcage flowed with the power of the laws that freeze time and space, exuding a suffocating aura of confinement.
"Little Mu! Mark!" Xingyue's pupils shrank sharply as she shouted.
She tried to tear through space to rush to the rescue, but Rita lightly tapped her fingertip, and the golden magic circle shone again!
Boom! Boom!
Two enormous and distorted phantoms instantly coalesced in front of the stars and moon.
It was the gray-clad giant and the seraph's clone that had been defeated earlier!
Although it is only a remnant of time, its power is less than one-tenth of the original.
But the giant's filthy fist and the seraph's dim holy flames still posed a deadly threat, firmly blocking Xingyue's path!
The Star Moon Silver Spear swept furiously, its starlight exploding, yet it was forced to be held back by this sudden obstruction!
"Hmph, come with me, little ones."
Rita's lips curled into a cold smile as she reached out with her slender hand to grab the golden birdcage from a distance!
The birdcage instantly contracted, intending to completely imprison Mark and Little M and take them away!
Alfonso's torrent of holy light was fast, but the distance was still far, and it was clear that it could not arrive before the birdcage closed!
At this critical moment—
"Little Black!"
The clear, crisp shouts of Xingyue pierced through the battlefield with a deafening roar!
BOOM!!!
In the center of the battlefield, a mudflat near Mark suddenly exploded!
Mud and gravel flew everywhere like cannonballs!
A massive, suffocating shadow burst forth from the ground!
Accompanied by a dragon roar that shook the entire region, filled with boundless majesty and ferocity!
That was a pure-blooded black dragon that was over tens of meters long!
Its entire body is covered in dark, deep scales that seem to absorb all light, each scale flowing with a cold, hard metallic luster.
On its ferocious head, two golden vertical pupils, like burning lava, were locked on Rita in the air!
A powerful dragon might, though somewhat immature, had definitely reached the threshold of legendary status. It swept out like a tsunami, causing the air on the battlefield to freeze!
This is the little black dog that Xingyue entrusted to Mark to look after!
Unbeknownst to us, it had been hiding here quietly, and now it has revealed its true form.
A genuine purebred baby dragon!
A young dragon that has already stepped one foot into the legendary realm!
"roar--!!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the young dragon Xiao Hei suddenly opened its massive mouth, which was filled with fangs!
A dark dragon breath, seemingly pure and extreme, emanating from the deepest abyss, erupted like a torrent of ink bursting its banks, violently spewing onto the golden birdcage that was about to close completely!
*Sizzle*—*Zzzzz*!
The golden cage, imbued with the laws of time, seemed to have met its nemesis in the face of the primordial dark dragon breath that was capable of annihilating all things!
The golden runes and chains of law that make up the birdcage are being corroded and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Almost the instant the dragon's breath touched it, the seemingly indestructible birdcage was melted through, creating a huge gap!
The binding force dissipated by more than half in an instant!
"What?!"
For the first time, genuine astonishment appeared on Rita's stunningly beautiful face.
However, Xiao Hei's attacks did not stop!
Its massive dragon body displayed astonishing agility that belied its size.
The thick, barbed dragon tail, like a giant black whip tearing through space, lashed out fiercely at Rita, who was slightly dazed by the broken birdcage, with a terrifying shriek that seemed to tear through the air!
Wherever the dragon's tail passed, even the phantom of the golden magic circle was easily shattered!
Rita's pupils contracted slightly, and her figure instantly transformed into a pale golden streak, retreating rapidly to narrowly avoid the tail strike that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Even so, the gale-force winds stirred up by the dragon's tail caused her red hair to dance wildly, and the golden light protecting her body fluctuated violently.
She hovered in the distance, watching the pure-blooded black dragon exuding a ferocious aura, and its protective stance in front of Mark and Little M. A look of unbelievable absurdity and deep mockery flashed in her eyes:
"Heh... How interesting! A noble pure-blooded dragon, actually willing to be someone's watchdog? Little girl from the Star Moon Church, you've got some skills!"
