Chapter 476 Dawn and Dusk
Diomedes didn't give Carl time to adjust.
At the moment when Carl was stunned, the time around him suddenly began to slow down.
The light receded again, and everything grew dim. The flames that had been engulfing everything around them gradually slowed down, nearly solidifying.
At the moment when the flow of time around him slowed down, Oswald's pupils simultaneously shone with bright golden light.
Like the morning light, there was a very faint scarlet glow in the platinum color.
——Advanced Divine Art: Acceleration of the Sand Clock!
The power from the sand clock comes upon me without any prayer.
In Diomedes' domain, his speed was not only not slowed down, but was even further increased.
Oswald instantly appeared in front of the Balrog and stopped instantly.
His fingertips were entwined with threads of light very similar to Diomedes's. Their colors differed slightly—Oswald's was white, while Diomedes's was more of a dim yellow. It was like the light emitted by two bulbs with different color temperatures.
He shone with brilliance again.
——Advanced Divine Art: Gray Silk!
The silk thread strengthened by the power of Hui Tiansi turned into a sharp blade.
Oswald suddenly raised his right hand, and the sharp light ray tore General Karl's body into pieces!
Like a glass-like blade, and also like the claws of a ferocious beast.
The spreading offensive even cut through the wall behind General Karl!
Carl was severely shocked the moment they met.
But no blood spurted out of his body. Instead, a dazzling incandescent light flashed, and a large number of golden-red sparks like electric welding shot out.
General Karl didn't panic at all. He just groaned, and a blazing fire burned in his pupils. His torn body was glued together by the flames, leaving only a deeper scar.
Shafiya remained silent, shaking the staff in her hand.
The silver-white triangle radiated a rainbow glow. Accompanied by the clanging sound of metal, countless silver-white chains emerged from the void, tightly binding General Karl's entire body!
As soon as Carl raised his right hand a little, he was trapped in the spot and couldn't move. But he didn't panic at all.
He just stood there motionless, and the scars on the front of his body turned into eyes full of malice.
——Ritual spell, evil eye!
If you look directly at it, you will be shocked by the strong malice and be frozen in place, unable to move.
The next moment, blazing flames burst out!
Like a volcanic eruption, golden-red magma accompanied by purple-red flames mixed with curses automatically counterattacked in the direction of Oswald's previous attack!
The automatic counterattack lava cannon instantly blasted a hole in the Temple of Silver and Tin that was reinforced by the preservation technique!
The wall couldn't hold out for even a moment before it was shattered by the flames that automatically counterattacked.
Extra bits of fire fell outside—a few sparks landed on the grass, igniting a poisonous purple-red fire. These flames, like thorns, twisted like snakes, and like living things, spread rapidly, steaming black smoke.
More flames fell into the lake of roiling yellow muddy water, which immediately rose into a billowing, pungent, light yellow steam, emitting a loud crackling sound.
This is completely different from the power of fire that Carl actively uses.
The flames he actively mobilized were drawn from the body of the Fire Demon within his body and controlled by reason.
——But when he was attacked and bled, it was the unrestrained fire of the demon that was aroused by the "Rage" mark!
Aiwass, who had extensive experience in building abilities, immediately concluded that General Carl was particularly adept at automatic counterattacks.
Unlike the succubus Emma, Carl didn't trust the demon within him. The demon within him was heavily sealed and suppressed, and only a small amount of power was released to withstand and control it.
When certain conditions are met, it can unleash its full power under controlled conditions.
Obviously, the condition set by Carl was "injured and bleeding."
He and the Flame Demon were not identical entities, so the Flame Demon within him could continuously heal him. Relying on the powerful vitality granted by the contracted Flame Demon... perhaps there were other Dao traits that enhanced his survival.
That's why he has the confidence to remain silent among the group.
Because he is the type who relies on "passive abilities" to fight, and the only condition for triggering the passive effect is being hit!
However, his extremely powerful counterattack cannon missed.
Because he had just been attacked and released from stagnation, he was slowed down again by Diomedes.
Oswald's speed was so fast that it was impossible to follow him with eyes.
The moment the malicious eye opened, Oswald had already appeared behind General Karl.
He didn't even look at Karl, and even turned his back to him.
But before he knew it, General Karl was already tightly wrapped with five white strings, the ends of which were entangled in Oswald's tightly clenched hands.
A red light ignited in Oswald's eyes again.
——Advanced divine art·Dawn Fire!
The moment the counterattack was launched, the sacred flame from Xi Tiansi ignited from Oswald's body, forming an invisible flame barrier around him. The sacred flame spread from his palm and ignited General Karl in the blink of an eye.
The sacred flame enveloped him, sizzling and burning his body—
For General Carl, who possessed a high level of fire affinity, this was not a fatal injury.
But at this moment, Oswald suddenly turned around.
Within one second, three high-level divine spells all took effect.
He raised his hand, and three dots of light appeared: bright yellow, gray, and golden red. They connected to form a triangle, converging into a white curtain of light in the center.
He stretched forward his right index finger and touched the light curtain that had just been generated.
As if being catapulted away, the triangle of light instantly expanded and flew forward, passing right through General Carl, who was slowed down again and whose body was burning with almost static flames.
The moment the triangle of light pierced General Karl, the flames on his body suddenly became more intense. An invisible storm swept over, extinguishing all the flames of the fire demons.
From the burning Cale, a seemingly endless white glow burst forth, instantly piercing the dark realm summoned by Diomedes.
The surroundings slowed down and returned to normal in an instant.
But the next moment, the whole world turned into nothingness, leaving only the pure and clean white area.
Oswald's unusual speed suddenly returned to normal.
All the benefits that each person bestowed upon themselves, and all the debuffs they inflicted upon their enemies, vanished and returned to zero within this pure white field. These unbalanced forces were all transformed into pure, balanced forces, condensed into the next attack.
Oswald chopped down vertically with a simple and unpretentious knife.
The hand blade, capable of tearing through steel and rock with ease, hadn't touched Carl's body. No rays of light emerged from his fingertips—perhaps none. After all, in this pure white world, "lines" simply couldn't be seen.
But even so, the pure white world was perfectly divided into two halves.
When the pure white area was cut open, General Carl, who was in the middle, had no power to resist and was directly split into two halves!
——This is the powerful blow that is sure to hit after being locked on by Oswald!
And that cold power of balance directly destroyed the seal in his body, making his body unable to be healed.
This made General Carl look like a soft-boiled egg yolk cut by a thread... After the surrounding "egg white" was cut, balls of colloidal flames burst out from his entire body, and the "scars" on his body surface twisted and spread. The whole person gradually broke and collapsed, almost melting into a pool of flowing golden lava.
These two elders, if taken alone, might not even be able to defeat the "Bone Sculptor" who was halfway to death, the fifth energy level. But if the two of them joined forces, even an elite like Carl would find it difficult to resist.
You know, after Shafiya was silenced, she couldn't use any powerful law spells except "Counter Spell" and "Forced Constraint".
Binding and immobilization were of no use to General Carl, who was mainly counterattacking. It was basically equivalent to only these two guardian elves attacking Carl tacitly.
Not only General Karl was cut in half, but even the red barrier above the sky was broken.
But at this moment, a stronger sense of crisis appeared in the hearts of everyone present.
“Run!”
Shafiya was the first to react.
Having regained her ability to cast spells, she unhesitatingly tapped her staff against the wall, her free hand reaching out into the void before her.
It's like I've found a certain node.
The next moment, a blue and white rune light gate was generated.
"Run, Aiwass!"
She maintained the portal, urging loudly.
Oswald had just unleashed a full-strength attack, and his entire body was still reeling from the backlash of the overloaded Balance Force. Aiwass pushed Diomedes, signaling him to quickly take Oswald, who was still frozen in place, and flee.
And Aiwass also picked up Sherlock, who was still unconscious, and jumped into the portal.
Shafiya was the last one to fall behind, and she could already see the wreckage of General Carl beginning to twist and burn.
The surging desire for "rage" continued to condense along with the roaring high temperature.
Without further hesitation, she removed the teleportation array. In the split second before the portal twisted and vanished, she flew forward at full speed and crashed into it.
Then, flames erupted.
From the ashes, the Flame Demon rose up—
Update completed!
I've been typing and haven't had lunch yet. I'll take a shower and get ready to go... I should be able to eat at 4:30.
I should have an update tomorrow, but I'm not sure about the day after tomorrow and the day after that. I have a 6:00 AM flight the day after tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early. After a busy day, I have to catch the high-speed train and then a four-hour, one-hour taxi ride home the next morning... But if I can't update, I'll let you know!
