"Have you found a way to open the gate to the Abyss?" With Luo Fan by her side, Caitlin wasn't so confused; she was more concerned about the Abyss.
"Of course. Tell me your decision now, or I'll take action!" Roy continued to pressure her; no matter what she chose, everyone here would die.
If we could also pinpoint the cause of Ellie's death to the royal family, then this hunt would be perfect.
"What method? You don't know either? You demon, you look like neither human nor ghost, and you want to become a god? Have you lost your mind?" Caitlin sneered and pulled out a scroll.
"A level 7 Water Dragon's Roar, in this environment, its power should be comparable to a low-level forbidden spell, right?"
"Heh, you want to take us all down with you? You're overthinking it. You think we weren't prepared? You're stalling for time, but so am I."
The surrounding enemies put down their array plates, and a simple magic circle slowly took shape.
"This is a simplified version of the Nightmare Sacrifice Array. As long as this array is in place, it can reduce most of the damage we suffer. Princess Caitlin, you'd better surrender quickly. If you do as I say, you might be able to save your life."
Suddenly, Caitlin felt a sense of despair; she hadn't expected the other side to have anticipated this. If a fight really broke out, they had absolutely no chance of winning.
"Luo Fan, what do we do now?"
"Fight! What else can we do? By the way, are there really aquatic magical beasts in this lake?" Luo Fan was examining the elemental changes around him. The formation still needed time to fully form.
If they were to actually use the scroll, they would also be affected. Moreover, the enemy had two archmages, plus the surrounding high-level demon warriors; they had to find another way to break the deadlock.
"Hmm~" As he was speaking, Roy became impatient, and someone whispered something in his ear.
"Move! Activate the formation. Since she disagrees, we'll force her to agree! Eliminate everyone except her and the two girls beside her!"
Several men in black rushed forward with weapons, while the remaining people gathered magic, and various magical elements rapidly condensed in the space.
At Lofan's request, Caitlin tore open the scroll in her hand and threw it in that direction.
Enormous water dragons instantly materialized and lunged towards their target. A surge of water elemental energy caused the dragons to grow larger and larger, eventually engulfing the people inside.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Fan took out a high-quality water spirit pearl, crushed it into powder, and threw half of it into the center of the lake, while letting Xianxian control the other half to splash it on the men in black.
Xuanwu's shield blocked the first wave of damage, and Toria and Freya led their men to quickly attack and intercept the approaching men in black.
The two mages didn't make a move, instead guarding Roy's side. Facing Caitlin's scroll attack, he also tore apart a defensive scroll to block the impact. Some people behind him were still severely injured by the water dragon, but they were showing signs of gradual recovery.
A large amount of water was drawn in, and almost half of the cave was washed over by waterspouts several times.
With Xuanwu's help, Ellie and the others managed to stabilize themselves and were not severely impacted. However, the entire lake level was raised significantly, completely submerging this area.
"Caitlyn, you're a fucking lunatic!" Roy roared, signaling everyone to launch an attack.
Luo Fan was observing the changes in the lake; a magical beast of around level 65 was charging towards the surface. At the same time, he took the opportunity to command Xuanwu to seek shelter in the shallower waters.
Suddenly, a violent surge of dark magic erupted, and a massive black dragon hurtled towards them with ferocious momentum.
A dark magician? This is getting a bit tricky. Luo Fan quickly had Ai Li tear open the protective scroll.
As a result, the shield of Xuanwu, along with the newly added protection, was broken one after another, finally stopping this round of attacks.
Toria led her squad to fight against the men in black, but their underwater array prevented them from stabilizing the situation and they were unable to achieve any effective kills.
Freya rode on the Thunderbird, maneuvering in the air against a wind mage. Relying on her speed advantage, she fought back and forth, but her opponent was clearly not using his full strength.
Caitlin, along with Ellie and the others, charged at the approaching men in black while simultaneously guarding against sneak attacks from the shadows, resulting in several guards being caught in the crossfire.
Xuanwu's shield was broken, and the situation immediately became extremely tense. If the attack had come a few more times, they might have been killed.
Luo Fan kept an eye on the hidden dark magic master and slipped away with his clone.
Meanwhile, the lake became increasingly turbulent, and a gigantic octopus-like demonic fish burst forth, creating even more splashes. Several men in black were unable to escape and were swallowed whole by the giant creature.
The enormous tentacles spread through the space, constantly squeezing the remaining space. Toria and the others quickly retreated to their positions and hid near the rock wall to guard against the tentacles' engulfment. The Xuanwu even extended an earthen wall.
"Quick, kill that giant octopus first!" Roy shouted, and the wind blades he conjured in his hand rushed towards it.
The injured octopus retaliated by spraying out a large amount of ink, and a strong, fishy stench hit the water, almost turning the entire surface black, and it was even highly corrosive.
The situation on the field changed instantly. Roy and his team started attacking the octopus, while Caitlin and the rest of the team huddled in a corner, trying to conceal their presence.
"Luo Fan, what should we do now? The giant octopus won't last much longer, and Freya is also in a downward spiral." Looking at the still dim Resonance Stone in her hand, Caitlin asked anxiously.
Toria and Ellie were much calmer, and even Daisy, with Snow, froze the surrounding water to reduce the ink's erosion.
"I'm going to kill that dark mage. You all just focus on defense."
After saying that, Luo Fan's clone disappeared.
The dark magic mage sensed that someone was watching him, but couldn't pinpoint the other person's location. He was currently flying in the shadows, carefully attacking the giant octopus below.
The other wind mage continued to chase Freya through the air, constantly shifting his position in the confined space.
Countless sparks flashed, and every now and then, the fleeing men in black were subjected to electric shocks. Freya was also able to use her lightning escape technique to evade the wind blades pursuing her; she truly lived up to the reputation of being a talent nurtured by a powerful family.
Roy also summoned a Gale Eagle and came into the air, but was instead met with Freya's relentless pursuit.
"Quick, let's take down that woman together first, then kill the giant octopus!" Roy was getting a little frantic as he hid behind the wind mage.
The plan, which was originally foolproof, turned out to be full of loopholes. In order to deal with Caitlin's reinforcements, he left his main fighting force outside and only brought two mages with him.
I thought that with the array plate, there was almost no chance of failure. But what's with that giant octopus? Even if the digested demon recovers, it will only be corroded again.
The girls in the corner were still alive and had even organized a defense.
Where did I go wrong? This shouldn't be happening! With this kind of strength, we could absolutely crush them! No, I have to kill the men below immediately. The situation outside is not optimistic; we must finish this quickly.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a scroll filled with a large amount of wind energy.
