"Return!"
I unhesitatingly returned from my personal bug-like world. I had already torn all pretense of cordiality with Conservation. If I stayed here any longer, I would only be waiting to be surrounded and attacked. That wouldn't even be foolish anymore. It would be suicidal.
The next instant, I appeared in the sky above Yellow Sand City by myself. Countless aerial Knight and mages were around me, confused as to what was going on.
They had received an emergency alarm and flew into the sky. However, the culprit had suddenly vanished. The young Knight that appeared before them seemed to be a friend, not an enemy. The leading aerial Knight tried to ask what had happened.
"Your Excellency …"
"Back off! It's not over yet!"
His cautious question was met with an angry reprimand. The yellow-crowned Aerial Knight's face showed anger, but before he could say anything dissatisfied, he lost the ability to speak.
The leading aerial Knight clutched his own throat as his eyes rolled back into his head and he started foaming at the mouth. He didn't even have the chance to scream before he was directly killed by himself.
The other mages and aerial Knight had the same fate. They either pulled out their swords and committed suicide, or crushed their vitals. All of them died pitiful deaths as they mysteriously fell from the sky.
"What kind of curse is this?"
"Who knows? Curses aren't the elves' specialty in magic. Perhaps it's just the remnant power of a domain. They don't have magic resistance like you do. "
I suddenly understood. The aura of the curse was still lingering in the sky. Although Lasnina's cursed creatures had been dragged into that world, just the remnant power left behind would be far beyond what these novice tieflings could deal with.
This was just like fighting against an ice mage or the Water Elemental God. Perhaps the two would be fine, but the people affected would either freeze to death, die from water disasters, or die from exhaustion.
The city below was now in a panic. Large numbers of people abandoned everything and madly ran out of the city. In the eyes of an experienced elderly person, this city was hopeless since two powerful existences from the mortal plane had chosen it as their battlefield.
"Tsk."
I was quite displeased as I flapped my wings and flew into the clouds.
"Roland!"
As expected, Lasnina's reaction appeared behind me the very next moment. That world didn't have the ability to trap anyone. Lasnina only needed about ten seconds to find her way.
Originally, I only wanted to change the battlefield, but when I stepped into the clouds, a sudden thought made me pause.
"Ice Magic is an advanced form of Water Magic. In the magic theories of the Aichy World, although there is no Cloud Magic, dark clouds are indeed an extension of Water Magic. Perhaps …"
He stepped into the clouds, condensed the water vapor into ice, and casually shot backwards.
"Roland!"
The roar behind me seemed to indicate that I had hit something.
Hence …
I specifically traveled through the clouds. Wherever I passed by, it was as if flowers were blooming. There was a rain of ice, ice needles, and ice bullets.
The ice crystals that I could summon at any time wouldn't have much killing power. However, I had never hoped that I would be able to kill Lasnina so easily.
What I need is just …
"Ro … Lan, coward."
Lasnina herself didn't seem to notice anything at all. Doubtlessly, my freezing aura had already been effective. Her sense of time had been slowed down.
Still, just this alone wasn't enough to make up for the absolute difference in power levels between us.
I had left my ice magic in the clouds. Every time I pierced through Lasnina, the freezing aura would bring her closer to death.
Perhaps I had found a new battle tactic that would be quite effective.
The slowing down of time naturally greatly reduced Lasnina's speed. Meanwhile, I intentionally slowed down and maintained some distance between us. This was the most basic kiting tactic that Lasnina couldn't catch up to.
"I … I can't catch up. Has … my speed … been slowed down?"
Lasnina dripped a drop of blood into the air. Seeing that it was falling down faster than she expected, she was certain that her sense of time had been slowed down.
Her stuttering words were rather comical, but they revealed astonishing information. Did she know about my abilities? That was impossible. My combat characteristics and abilities were all top-secret. Anyone who had ever seen my freezing aura should be dead. No, there were still some who were alive and well.
"Conservation!"
There was no need to think too much about it. Even though I hadn't revealed my abilities yet, I had already revealed many of my abilities during my two fights against Conservation.
The loss of information put me on the defensive. My plan to set up a trap to kill Lasnina was now ruined. Lasnina now had the initiative.
What would Lasnina do if she knew that her sense of time had been messed up?
Would she charge up and attack me? That would be a huge disadvantage.
Would she dodge and wait for the effects to wear off? Then, I would have long since fled.
My senses were constantly locked onto the person following me. At that moment, Lasnina's aura suddenly weakened and vanished without a trace. She then reappeared, but this time, she seemed to be much weaker.
"… Suicide? Or did she tear off a part of herself? "
I couldn't tell. Lasnina seemed to have broken free from the freezing aura's influence. But no matter what, it was always best to keep my distance. If she wanted to catch up to me, she would have to suffer another slowing down of time.
Suddenly, Lasnina turned around and flew back in the direction she had come from. Was she going back to find Sand City?
"Ha, who do you think I am? Would Yongye care about the lives of these small fries? "
"… That woman said that you know how to! Yongye is far weaker than an ordinary Undead Emperor. I can't believe that he would actually sympathize and like mortals. "
At this moment, I finally understood the saying that the person who understood you the most would always be your enemy.
"Damn it!"
Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly tumbled three times in a row. A magic sword that reached out from the clouds almost pierced through my heart.
A blood-red venomous snake reached out from the clouds. Her sudden attack was swift and accurate, as if … it was as if she had long since locked onto my location and was waiting to ambush me!
As I glanced around, I saw Lasnina's figure in the clouds.
The bone fire skull in her hand had a cross-shaped hellfire that was locked onto me. This was a magical compass that had locked onto my life aura.
"Conservation … does she really have to hate me so much?"
It was obvious that Conservation knew that I could leave this world at any moment. It would be quite difficult for her to take me down with her. From the very start, she had hoped that I would ask for her help if I met a powerful enemy. She had prepared a method to "help" me.
Of course, she would help my enemy, even if she had to die with her.
"Information, small tools, and what else?"
This time, I had shot myself in the foot. I had underestimated Conservation's hatred for me. Women were truly mystical creatures that didn't have any sense of reason.
"Let's go all out."
Harloys flew up by herself. She also knew that the current situation was quite bad. Was she intending to attack?
Not only were we facing Lasnina, we were also facing Conservation's abilities. It would be impossible to not be careful.
"Roland, Little Red's balls are moving."
