At this moment, with the strange changes in the Central Tower, even the ground under their feet was shaking violently and falling apart.
Amidst the violent tremors, the land bulged and floated in the air. They collided with each other and began to rise under the gravity of the tower.
Countless bridges extended from the top of the tower as if they were growing, connecting the massive buildings and plots of land that came from all directions.
The long warm-up had begun.
Not long after, the Eternal Frost Core would reveal its true appearance.
In a moment of shock, Huai Shi and Ogyust quickly retreated and reorganized their formation, trying to prevent their side from being separated in this violent turbulence.
But then, they found that the ground they were on seemed to be being pulled … to the tower.
What was going on?
Taking the elevator?
Or directly?
But just by looking at the invisible gravitational force emitted by the crown on the dome giant's head and the lightning guide rope that fell from the sky of the Underworld, they knew that this situation was not accidental.
The people from both sides scattered everywhere were being continuously thrown into the Central Tower by the miraculous carvings above their heads in order to gain the upper hand.
When they noticed this situation, the members of the Iron Crystal Constellation and the Ivory Tower looked at each other with unfriendly gazes.
Although according to the technical ability of both sides, as long as they did not die on the spot, they could always be pulled back.
But people could make mistakes, just like horses could stumble.
In an emergency situation, the emergency rune that could instantly freeze the vital organs would also fail, let alone the large group of people who were used as tools by both sides.
The battle that stopped abruptly broke out again at this moment.
Just before the two armies, Huai Shi's movements suddenly stopped.
As if hit by something invisible, he flew into the air and landed awkwardly.
He flew into the air inexplicably and fell into the dust inexplicably.
It was hard to understand.
It was as if he was shot by a sniper rifle.
After a brief numbness on his back, there was a sharp pain. Something penetrated Huai Shi's lungs.
But when he looked down at his chest in a daze, he could not see the wound.
There was not even blood —
Dizziness came suddenly.
Huai Shi's vision suddenly turned black.
.
.
In the distance, under the thick clouds, an aircraft seemed to be nailed to the air, hovering precisely in the storm.
No matter how the torrential rain and bloody wind blew, he did not waver in the slightest.
The gun, which was more than two meters long, was still aimed straight at Huai Shi's position. The colonel was crouching in the cabin. Through the scope, he could not see the scene clearly.
Relying on Ivy's superb material science foundation and extreme shooting ability, he created an experimental product and completed a super long-range sniper attack of 26 kilometers.
The error did not exceed ten centimeters. It was perfect!
The troupe member beside the colonel, the 'Doctor', was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a complicated telescope in his hand and constantly adjusting the parameters. When he clearly saw the figure lying on the ground in a sorry state, he was immediately overjoyed.
"It hit!"
"Can you really hit him?" The colonel was in disbelief.
"As expected, we've been misled all along."
The professor smiled and said, "He has some kind of instinctive intuition towards death. It's so sensitive that he can detect anything that can hurt him, regardless of whether it's a killing intent or not … I've seen such a record in the history of the Ivy League, but it's not impossible to verify."
The doctor said, "No matter how keen his intuition is, as long as it can't kill him, or even make him bleed or hurt, it won't be within his sensing range!"
This was the gift they had prepared for Huai Shi's death premonition, the gift that the Ivy League had prepared.
"Can it really work?" The colonel was skeptical.
"It was originally prepared for the two old guys, Simon and Forster. It's not a bad thing to use it on him."
The doctor explained, "Have you heard of the Faceless Man's antidote?"
The colonel pondered for a long time before he reacted. "I always thought it was just a legend …"
"Yes." The doctor sighed. "I thought so too before I saw it."
Antidote.
The alchemy potion that had once appeared in the markets of the border and Hell was not so much a poison or a curse, but an unfinished blessing.
It was originally created for the sublimator who had chosen the wrong path during the advancement. It could allow a person's Stigmata to roll back to the previous stage without any repercussions — just like the legendary White Wolf Hook of the Middle East, the American Solar Calendar, the Russian Federation's Cross of Repentance, and other authoritative relics.
Unfortunately, for some reason that even the creator himself did not understand, when the reversal began, the original Stigmata did not disappear. Instead, it entered a virtual state that even the sublimator himself could not detect.
Once the effect of the potion was over for half an hour, it would quickly return to its original state.
The defects and pain that should have existed could not be avoided. During this process, no matter what was done, there would be no effect, and no change would be of any help.
After all, it was an unfinished product.
But soon, someone found other uses for it.
For example … assassination and poisoning.
It was rumored that the creator of the antidote disappeared because of this. Until today, no one had found his trace, and no one had found the complete formula of the antidote.
It could not be reproduced.
At the same time, it also meant that … its effect was incurable!
Sometimes, even without the need to make a move, the effect of the reversal was enough to cause serious damage to the sublimator … Just like now!
In the midst of the chaos, Huai Shi staggered and fell to the ground, bending over in pain.
He pulled off the small respirator hanging on his face and opened his mouth, but he could not breathe.
He felt that his Stigmata was rapidly shrinking … The sacred burial ground around him began to rapidly fade, but the source substance was scattered and began to riot.
His brain was buzzing.
It was difficult to control.
The reversal began.
Stigmata · Young Master of Life dissipated!
.

"What the hell?"
On the ruins of another plot of land, Raymond looked at the scene displayed on the screen from the truck, dumbfounded.
Huai Shi was sniped?
But where was the sniper?
No matter how he scanned and observed with his radar, he could not find the sniper's position. It was not until the search range was expanded to the maximum that he could distinguish the signal of a Griffin aircraft from the countless noises.
The distance … was 26.31 kilometers?
Raymond did not hesitate and waved his hand. Under the cracked armor of the truck, the heavy cannon suddenly rose, adjusted the angle, corrected the coordinates, and locked on to the aircraft far away in the sky.
The furnace of the 'Chariot of Fate' began to operate urgently, overdrive.
A blazing light brewed in the cannon, about to launch a retaliatory counterattack.
But before that, the ear-piercing threat alarm had already exploded in Raymond's ears. Instinctively, he turned the cannon and aimed behind him.
Fire!
A mighty stream of light gushed out, engulfing the figure that walked out of the ruins.
Then, the heat that was enough to burn an entire building was split in half — in front of an overly large heavy sword with a shield.
The blood-colored shadow of Asura rose into the air.
Immersed in blood and death, 'Not Heaven' raised his eyes and smashed the vajra in his hand forward.
In that instant, the cannon was actually split into two in the middle of the slash!
When the cannon made of pure heat slowly dissipated, the dull sound of lava flowing could be heard. On the ground that had been burned red, an armored figure slowly walked towards Raymond.
Raymond was already frozen on the spot.
He could not move as he was stared at by that pair of old eyes.
"Hey, isn't this too much …"
He swallowed his saliva dryly. "Didn't you say … that Tier Four can't participate in the war?"
"The contract, that's right."
The captain of the Eye of Nightmare, Silent Avery, raised his hand and took off his ferocious lion helmet, revealing his cold face.
"I didn't participate in the struggle between the Ivy League and the Ivory Tower."
He calmly told the man in front of him, "I came here only to purge the traitors under my sect and wash away the shame."
"…" Raymond did not say anything.
His fingers that were hanging by his waist twitched as if he was trying to hold something tightly, but he grabbed nothing.
He was slightly stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became bitter.
Ai Fuli stared at his waist and asked indifferently, "Why?
"Leonard, where's your sword?"
"… It's broken a long time ago, teacher."
Raymond sighed and slowly raised his hands. "Can I surrender? I can kneel down now, as long as you can keep me alive, even if I have to break my own hands and feet … As for money, we can discuss any amount. I've saved up a sum of money over the years, and it's not a small amount. As long as you can open the net … "
But his voice was interrupted.
Avery looked at him. There was no pity or gentleness in his eyes. There was only a cold calmness. "It seems that the bones are broken together with the sword?"
Raymond was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he lowered his head weakly.
"Yes, it's all broken … Why can't you let me go?"
He asked, "Why do you have to make things difficult for a 'knight' who doesn't even have a mount? You see, for a disgraceful person like me, even if you don't care about me, there will be a day when I die a horrible death, right? Why do you have to do it yourself? "
"It's useless to say more. Draw your weapon, Leonard, son of the Red Dragon."
Avery held the end of the heavy sword with both hands and announced indifferently, "Let me see how much you've improved since the battle at the Feuerbach Mansion. How far have you fallen after losing your Red Dragon? "
In the dead silence, Raymond sighed. "Is there no other choice?"
Ai Fuli nodded in understanding. "Are these your last words?"
"No, I'm just —"
Raymond opened his mouth to explain.
Then, the silent cannon beside him seemed to finally be unable to watch any longer. As a passerby, it spoke up to 'help' Leonard.
Unfortunately, it didn't say 'I'm telling you the truth' or 'Indeed.' What came out of the cannon was a terrifying light that was not inferior to the previous attack!
Avery sighed.
He wasn't stunned, wasn't shocked, and even couldn't help but want to laugh.
He raised the blade in his hand and slashed down again. He easily tore apart the cannon attack in front of him.
But Raymond's figure could no longer be seen on the spot.
The ruins were a mess. The truck and Raymond had disappeared without a trace.
In the distance, they could see a truck that had changed beyond recognition … It was like a spider that had grown eight legs and was carrying Raymond as it sped away.
The speed was unbelievably fast.
Ran away.
It was an expected result.
Avery didn't chase after him. Instead, he sat on a rock, supported himself with his sword, and began to take a short break.
"Run, Leonard. Before fate comes, how far can you run?"
He murmured softly as he stared at the resolute face reflected on the sword's spine. "This is the last bit of benevolence your teacher has for you …"
.
.
At this moment, on the countless pieces of land floating in the air, on the huge platform of one of the dozens of battlefields that were constantly splitting and merging …
As Huai Shi fell to the ground, everyone present on both sides noticed his abnormality.
The billowing darkness of the Bone Burying Sanctuary quickly dissipated, and the burning flag disappeared without a trace.
The figure that fell to the ground was revealed.
He tried to support his body with difficulty, but then, the face quickly disintegrated. Countless dark green colors emerged from the blood vessels and quickly spread, covering his entire body in an instant.
He looked at his hands in disbelief.
"This is …"
"Teacher!"
Yuan Yuan widened her eyes and wanted to rush over. However, Huai Shi raised his hand with all his might and shouted at her in panic, "Don't come over! I want to … "
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying explosion burst out from Huai Shi's body.
The turbulent dust and air waves swept through, engulfing the thin figure and spreading in all directions.
Not only did the Eye of Nightmare, who wanted to snatch the head, but even Yuan Yuan and the other members of the exploration team were sent flying backward, unable to get close.
Countless dark green things that looked like blood splashed out.
Amidst the violent explosion, only a broken sword blade flew out.
It stabbed into the ground diagonally.
It made a low sound.
"What the hell?!"
On the aircraft in the distance, the colonel and the doctor also looked at the scene through the telescope in shock, unable to accept it.
Even the two of them did not expect such an outcome.
What kind of hidden dangers did that guy plant when he leveled up? Now that the reversal medicine had taken effect, the source substance had immediately lost control and self-destructed?
Soon, countless crackling sounds tore through the lingering sound of the explosion and spread out from the scattered dust.
In the center of the explosion, a staggering figure walked out with difficulty.
However, as he walked, countless thorns, poisonous flowers, and ferocious giant trees broke out of the mud. Those sharp trees crazily stretched out in all directions, spreading, growing, and dying.
With a flick of the finger.
Countless lives and deaths gathered around him, forming a complicated and huge cycle.
A sudden gust of wind swept past, sweeping away the dancing dust, revealing Huai Shi's face. She was completely at a loss — she had no idea what had just happened!
Two intersecting dark green curse marks covered his face, but they did not show any ferociousness or gloominess. Instead, they looked holy and benevolent.
"I'm …"
He looked at his hands and was puzzled.
"… I advanced again?"
