Boom! ...
Finally, a tremendous roar originating from the depths of her soul exploded within Ellen's body!
The violent and out-of-control energy fluctuations around her suddenly subsided, like all rivers flowing into the sea, all contained within.
The figure sitting cross-legged at the core of the magic array exuded a completely new aura.
Vast and profound, it possesses a timeless and majestic quality, much like the movement of stars.
She slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, and in the depths of her eyes, it seemed as if countless stars were being born and dying, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at them.
The shackles of mortal existence that once bound Elaine have been completely broken.
The legendary realm is complete!
Almost at the same time, the intense fluctuations in Mark's team of four finally subsided.
They were soaking wet, as if they had been pulled out of the water, and panting heavily, but everyone's eyes had become incredibly bright and sharp, and their aura was several times stronger than before!
Mark's holy light protection became more refined and profound, with a faint seven-colored glow flowing within it. Even the cross necklace was no longer simply black, but also faintly revealed a seven-colored light.
Monica's shadowy aura became even more elusive and mysterious, as if she could blend into the shadows without using any skills.
Enzo's muscles contained explosive power, the runes on the forging hammer seemed to come alive, and even with just a breath, one could see dark elemental magic flowing around him.
Anna felt as if the bow in her hand was weightless. With a thought, the arrow seemed ready to be released. Her natural magic was now completely hidden in shadow magic, but the magical properties were not lost.
Even Little Mu quieted down, its body seemed to solidify, its seven-colored light restrained, exuding a harmonious spirituality, and the three pairs of wings on its back, regardless of their element, were all wrapped in seven-colored light.
...
At the edge of the Demon Realm Rift, like an unhealed scar, lies across the very fabric of the Holy Dragon Continent.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles around the rift, the magical energy was chaotic and the space was fragile, making it a breeding ground for abyssal monsters to lurk and infiltrate.
They had just experienced a thrilling battle with Andromarius, the high-ranking demon god of the abyss.
Not only did Mark's squad survive, but under the protection of Ellen's successful ascension to Legendary status, they embarked on a sweeping expedition along the outer edge of the Rift.
During this training battle, Ellen did not directly crush the opponent.
As a newly ascended legendary mage, Ellen remains lazy, but now possesses an aura of restrained power, much like a black hole in the universe.
She was more like an experienced mentor to Mark's team, trailing behind and guiding Mark, Monica, Enzo, Anna, and the increasingly spiritual M, leading them to confront the monster threat emanating from the rift.
These monsters, lurking from the abyss rifts, come in all shapes and sizes and possess unpredictable abilities.
The fact that they were still not under Andromarius's control within a few hundred miles of the valley where the previous battle took place is enough to prove that they are either high-level monsters or beings with some special abilities.
These monsters include high-level swamp beasts that resemble giant lizards and spew corrosive poisonous mist.
There is a Shadowblade Demon that can blend into the shadows and launch a deadly backstab.
There are also mind-bending demons that emit sharp mental screams in an attempt to disturb the mind.
Compared to the monsters in the Monster Mountain Range, these monsters from the abyss are likely several times stronger in terms of base stats.
Just like the vast difference between Mark and his fellow special professionals and the ordinary professionals in the Adventurers' Guild.
In the past, any one of them would have been enough to put Mark's squad in a tough fight.
However, Mark's squad is no longer what it used to be.
Mark's "Holy Light Protection" light became more condensed and profound, and while carrying the power of purification and protection, it also had the effect of reflecting damage.
Facing the swamp beast charging head-on, he didn't need to dodge. The cross shone brightly, and a solid seven-colored light shield instantly condensed, blocking all the poisonous breath.
Immediately, the light shield automatically transformed into a spear, piercing through the terrified swamp beast's tough scales without the control of Mark's will. Before the foul blood could even splatter, it was purified and evaporated by the power attached to it.
Monica's figure was almost indistinguishable from the shadows.
Her "Shadow Affinity" has been elevated to a new level; she can move with afterimages without needing to deliberately activate the skill.
The Shadowblade Demon's prized stealth abilities were child's play in front of her.
Just as it thought it had seized the opportunity to leap out from the shadows behind Monica, it was met with a condensed, almost tangible, shadow spike that suddenly rose from the ground, easily pinning it to the ground.
The power of shadow spread along the wound, rapidly stripping the monster of its life force.
Enzo's muscles, nourished by divine power, became even more explosive, and the runic hammer felt as light as a feather in his hands.
Each swing produced a whistling sound as it cut through the air, and the ancient runes on the hammer seemed to come alive, shimmering with a deep, dark luster.
The pure physical attack contains brute force capable of tearing through space. Combined with the dark magic binding the target, even a tough and thick-skinned giant demon would have its skull smashed by his hammer and then softened into a puddle of flesh under the influence of the dark magic.
The longbow in Anna's hands seemed to be an extension of her limbs; even after exiting the extreme mutation state, it seemed unable to revert to the shape of an elven longbow.
But her essence remains that of an elf, the dexterity and vitality of natural magic completely integrated into the concealment and penetration of shadows.
The action of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow is as fast as lightning. There is no need to aim deliberately. As soon as the mind locks on the point, an arrow that combines the power of shadow and nature is released from the bow.
Before the mind-bending demon's mental scream could fully spread, it was pierced through to its core by a silent, seemingly indiscriminate shadow arrow, bringing the mental fluctuations to an abrupt halt.
Little Mu, on the other hand, is like a lively, colorful star, roaming the battlefield.
It doesn't actually like its Angelic form very much.
Although the slime's size has not increased dramatically, it now appears more solid and sturdy.
Three pairs of miniature elemental wings gently fluttered behind its round body, with the elemental light of darkness and holy light, necromancy, and stars flowing endlessly on the surface of the wings, each enveloped in a thin layer of seven-colored halo.
It still prefers to transform into Mark's accessory armor, carrying Mark around the battlefield during battles.
However, wherever it goes, any monster will be whipped around like a top by its tentacles.
Along the way, countless demons were slain at the edge of the hundreds of miles of rift.
Through constant battles and practice, the four and one became increasingly adept at using their surging power, and their teamwork became even more seamless.
Ellen's guidance was often to the point, and a few words from her could enlighten them.
Unbeknownst to them, the power within them, supported by their divine foundation, had naturally broken through that invisible threshold.
Everyone has stepped into the realm of ninth-tier professionals!
This is a height that countless ordinary professionals can hardly reach in their entire lives.
However, not all monsters choose to fight Mark's team head-on in the wilderness.
