On the other hand, Sharon was still in shock, but she did not lose her mind.
She knew that Dorcas and Angor would definitely attack her now that the space seal was broken and they were no longer bound by the contract. So …
When Dorcas turned into a streak of red light and rushed at her, she reacted immediately.
Witch Sharon created a Spatial Telekinesis Membrane around herself.
It was a level-3 cantrip. Even though it was far inferior to spells like the Light Shield, the fact that she was able to create a Willpower Membrane in such a hurry was more than enough to show how fast Witch Sharon's reactions were.
In Witch Sharon's mind, there was no way the Telekinesis Membrane could completely block Dorcas's attack. However …
Dorcas was a Prophet, so his attacks were not that strong. Even if Dorcas had a powerful Bloodline spell, he would not be able to use much of his power under the influence of the curse.
Even if the barrier could not be the decisive factor, it should be able to block Dorcas' attack for two or three seconds.
These few seconds were enough for her to safely cover herself with a Light Space Light Shield.
At that time, it would be very difficult for Dorcas to break through her defenses.
It was precisely because Witch Sharon had such a meticulous plan that she wasn't too afraid of Dorcas. Compared to Dorcas, she was more wary of Angor.
As an adept of the same element, Witch Sharon knew very well just how powerful spatial spells were. Besides, he was also a space manipulator with a powerful heritage. In the face of such an enemy, the slightest carelessness could lead to a disastrous outcome.
Most of Sharon's attention was on Angor.
However, Angor's actions were puzzling her.
He didn't seem to have unleashed any spatial spell techniques, nor did he use any spatial abilities to launch a sneak attack. Instead, he created a large number of green patterns of light that were filled with a peculiar aura.
She had never seen these green runes before.
Witch Sharon had never seen such a thing before. Moreover, there was no energy connection between the light patterns and the spatial rifts that she had unleashed.
There was no common energy, which meant the green runes were not a space spell.
If it was not a space spell, then what could it be? And why did Angor spread the green runes around the space gate?
Before Witch Sharon could come up with anything, she was forced to interrupt.
Dorcas' attack had arrived.
Witch Sharon followed the original plan. She used her Telekinesis Membrane to block Dorcas's attack and took the opportunity to cast a Light Shield. However, her plans couldn't keep up with the changes. The strength of the spatial membrane wasn't as strong as she had imagined … Or rather, Dorcas' attacks had exceeded the limits of what the membrane could withstand.
It could not even hold for half a second, let alone two or three seconds.
Dorcas's fist, which was wrapped in blood energy, had only lightly touched the membrane. The membrane was like an ice cube that had been burned by a raging fire. It didn't struggle at all and instantly melted away.
The sudden turn of events forced Witch Sharon to change her strategy.
She immediately stopped the energy gathering for the Light Shield.
Using the talent of "Quick Change" she inherited from her cheap teacher, she turned the energy she gathered into another cantrip with less energy consumption — the Air Curtain.
When Dorcas's fist, which was infused with blood energy, hit the air curtain, it was as if he had hit a curtain woven from the air. There was a feeling of being unable to exert any force.
However, Dorcas' blood completely exceeded the Air Curtain's limit. In less than a second, the Air Curtain.
Following the distortion of the light and a confused cry, the area fell into silence again.
Sharon seemed to have taken advantage of the gap created by the Air Curtain to disappear.
Dorcas was not disappointed by his failure. Instead, he became even more excited. He let out a strange cry, and the bloody light around him suddenly became thicker and thicker. It seemed like the light was about to radiate out.
It was as if Dorcas had suddenly turned into a man made of blood with a blood-red halo around his head.
Witch Sharon felt a sense of danger the moment this crimson halo appeared. She did not even have time to analyze what the halo was before she was exposed by the halo effect.
Witch Sharon had been hiding behind Dorcas through the light and shadow, hoping to buy herself some time with the blind spots of her vision. However, the aura had exposed her position. Witch Sharon had no choice but to interrupt the spell and use a substitution spell.
Substitution was a Grade 3 spatial spell. It allowed one to use a spatial item prepared beforehand to replace the damage taken by the caster.
The effects of Substitution were undoubtedly very powerful. However, as a supermodel spell, it also had very strict restrictions. Firstly, it could not be used as a substitute. Secondly, the substitute had to be carried around at all times. The substitute could only be effective for half an hour. After that, a new substitute would have to be set up. Thirdly, the effects of consecutive substitutions would weaken with each level, and the damage taken would be slowly reflected back to the caster.
The restrictions were great, but as long as the spell was released, the substitute could buy some time for the caster to recover.
The substitute that Sharon had set up was a stone pillar with a human face.
Therefore, when Witch Sharon used the substitution spell, her body disappeared, and a stone pillar with a human face appeared in her place.
However, the stone pillar with a human face had just appeared when it was blasted into pieces by a single punch from Dorcas. Sharon was stunned at the sight. If she had released the spell a second later, she would definitely have been hit by Dorcas. If she had been hit, it would not have been a simple injury.
At this point, how could Witch Sharon not realize that she had underestimated her opponent?
This Adept called Dorcas not only had great achievements in the field of prophecy, but his research and development of bloodlines was also comparable to divination spells.
He was an all-rounder wizard!
Besides, Dorcas was still able to reach his current speed and strength despite the blood curse. He was even stronger than most Bloodline Wizards.
Yakee, who was on the stage earlier, was also a Bloodline Wizard. However, he was nothing compared to Dorcas.
After realizing that she had underestimated Dorcas, Sharon quickly changed her strategy.
She left a small part of her consciousness to monitor Angor and make sure that she could detect his attack immediately. Meanwhile, she focused all of her consciousness on Dorcas.
Dorcas was a big problem. His bloodline was too strong. She had to deal with him as soon as possible … or at least restrict him.
Sharon quickly changed her mind. Facing a powerful and all-rounder wizard like Dorcas, she did not back down. It did not matter if she could not defeat Dorcas. Her two companions were already here.
When the time came, she would regain control of the situation.
Witch Sharon, who had used the substitution spell, hid herself once again. She had already decided on her next target. She had to use the time that the substitution spell had bought her to find a way to activate her Light Shield. She had to start the counterattack!
…
At the same time, Angor, who was ignored by Sharon, was looking at the other side of the battlefield with eager eyes.
"Found it! I found Speedy's clone! "
Angor did not come here to fight against Sharon. He was here to find Speedy's clone.
His original plan was to use Elmi and Quickling to sneak up on Witch Sharon and look for Quickling's clone that was hiding inside her body.
But he didn't expect that before he even started, he would discover a clone of the Speed Spirit.
It was inside the stone pillar with a human face!
The Human Face Striped Stone Pillar contained spatial energy, so when it was broken, the energy inside would leak out. When Dorcas destroyed the pillar, Angor used Speedy's senses to sense a wisp of weak consciousness coming out of the stone pillar.
It was … one of Speedy's clones.
Angor thought of all kinds of places to hide Speedy's clone, but he did not expect Sharon to hide it inside a substitute.
But then again, it did make sense.
Angor obtained a lot of spatial knowledge from Dalmatian, which included information about substitutes.
The substitute item itself contained spatial energy, so it was entirely possible that the Swift Spirit Clone was hidden in the substitute item. Spatial energy blocked the clone's senses and prevented it from escaping.
This was why Angor could not sense the clone's location even after he brought Speedy to this place. It was because it was blocked by the spatial energy of the substitute.
Angor was happy to know where Speedy's clone was, but he also felt conflicted.
He was happy because he found Speedy's clone. He was conflicted because there were six Speedy's clones in Paradise, and only one of them showed up. The other five were still missing.
Judging from the situation of the first one, there was a good chance that the others were inside the substitute as well.
In other words, if Angor wanted to get the other five gusts of wind, he would have to ask Sharon to use Substitution five times in a row.
This was a bit difficult.
Angor knew the limitations of Substitution. If he used it too many times in a short period of time, the spell's effect would gradually weaken, and the damage would be inflicted on him. There was no way Sharon would keep using Substitution when she knew that the spell's effect was already weakened.
Even if Sharon wanted to use the substitution spell, she would only use it twice or thrice at most. She wouldn't be able to use it more than that.
Would three times be enough to get all the Speedy's clones? That is, unless Witch Sharon had placed multiple clones of herself in the same substitute item.
But was that even possible?
Angor did not think so.
A question had occurred to him before this. Why would Witch Sharon collect Swift Clones?
She must not have found Speedy's clones because she found them. She must have had other ideas, or perhaps plans.
Speedy's clones were wisps of wind with weak consciousness. What did they look like?
Earlier, when Angor asked Sea Eagle, he described Speedy's clones as "wind elemental spirits". But in fact, Speedy's clones did not look like wind elemental spirits.
They were more like the first step of a wind elemental spirit, which was the beginning of an elemental life form. They were also known as embryos, larvae, newborn, and so on.
There was a certain amount of consciousness in them, but they were all pure elements.
As long as they were lucky enough to gather more elements, they could evolve into elemental spirits.
Elementium creatures were extremely rare in the natural world. Perhaps Witch Sharon had taken a fancy to the faint consciousness of the clone and thought that it could evolve into an elementium spirit. That was why she had collected the clone.
If that was the case, then Sharon's goal was to acquire elemental spirits. She probably would not put the wisps of wind together.
If all six of them evolved together, the chances of that happening were higher. If they were put together, they would probably devour each other, which would reduce the chances of evolution.
Therefore, Sharon's most likely choice was to store all six wisps of wind separately to maximize the benefits.
Maybe one of the clones corresponded to one wisp of wind. This was the truth.
In other words, to get all of Speedy's clones, Angor had to destroy the other five clones. That was too difficult.
Asking Sharon to cast clones five times in a row was a bit unrealistic. There was only one other way.
Where were the clones?
Clones could not be stored in space storage, so they must be carried around. But Sharon's entire body was covered by her cloak, so Angor could not see what was under it.
Maybe the first thing he should do now was to destroy Sharon's cloak?
That was what Angor thought, but he didn't actually do it. Dorcas had already turned into a streak of red light that could hardly be seen by the naked eye. The more he fought, the more excited he became. If Angor got involved now, he would only be a hindrance.
Angor decided to observe the situation first.
Besides, he did not really have to fight Sharon right now. In truth, all he had to do was force Witch Sharon to use a substitution spell.
Of course, Sharon still knew how to use clones now. It was hard to say what would happen later.
But there was another way. For now, he needed to release as many of Speedy's clones as possible from the clones.
…
After Witch Sharon used Substitution to sneak away, Dorcas immediately released a crimson halo in an attempt to use the halo effect from before to force Witch Sharon out.
However, Witch Sharon had learned her lesson this time.
Earlier, she used Curtain Cantrip to hide behind Dorcas's back to make it easier for her to fight back. The crimson aura easily swept her away.
Witch Sharon had learned her lesson. At this moment, she was only a hundred meters away from Dorcas. She did not have to worry about being swept away by the aura. She could still quietly create a light shield.
When the light shield reached its final stage, it might cause some noise and attract Dorcas's attention. But when that happened, the light shield would be completed, and it would be almost impossible to interrupt.
As long as she had the light shield, Sharon would not have to worry about a cursed Dorcas at all.
While Witch Sharon was secretly accumulating her power, she didn't notice that some of the green runes around the arena were slowly approaching Dorcas.
Actually, even Dorcas himself didn't notice it. It was only when those green lines were close to his eyes that he suddenly realized.
However, even though he had discovered them, Dorcas didn't do anything.
He recognized them as Angor's illusion nodes. They did not have the same aura as normal illusion nodes, but the final effect was similar.
The green runes jumped and merged into Dorcas's right eye.
Dorcas did not feel any discomfort. His right eye only felt a little wet.
But why would Angor do that to his eye?
Dorcas raised his head to take a look, puzzled … Then, he discovered several thick and large green arrowheads.
He blinked and realized that he could only see the arrows with his right eye. His left eye could not see anything.
So Angor made these green arrows on purpose?
Dorcas looked in the direction of the arrows and saw that they were pointing at a corner about a hundred meters away.
There was a green silhouette of a person there. Above her head, there was an even thicker arrow pointing at her as if it was afraid that Dorcas would not see it.
