Kritonia, in his black suit, seemed to be a time traveler who wandered in different worlds. He passed through Lucien's frozen space after merely a stroll, as if the space barrier of such a level did not exist for him at all.
Like an old-fashioned gentleman, he took a step forward and crossed the distance made of monotonous black, white and grey. Then he flashed to the edge of Lucien's spiritual power field. In the silence, he created the feeling that time was fleeting, and it was impossible to stop it or stop it.
A simple slash had the effect of affecting the mind and spirit. That was the strength of an epic Knight!
After his attack, Lucien felt that everything around him was slowed down, like a slow-motion scene in a movie. Only the sword that flowed like water was as fast as lightning, washing and burying everything in the world.
Even a planet would reach the end of its life under time!
Kritonia was very satisfied with the attack. It had been a long time since he launched such a satisfying attack after his body began to age. However, faced with the deterrence of Hathaway, the coming rescue of Fernando, Douglas, and the rest of them, and Lucien's unbelievable advancement into legendary in advance and the changes of the Original Fire, the enormous pressure finally made him forget his body, his family, and his remaining lifespan. He burned all his body and mind again, returning to his peak state in the past.
He could not do anything to Winston last year partly because the gap between the levels of legendary was not as huge as the gap between the low, middle, and high levels, and partly because his body and mind were shaken, and he could only carry out the strength close to level three. Right now, he was "Heart of Time" again, who had slain two legendary sorcerers, a projection of a Demon Lord, a legendary sea monster, and a dark epic Knight!
From the War of Dawn to the expansion of the Congress of Magic, "Heart of Time" Kritonia was synonymous with myths and epics on this side of the Storm Strait!
With such satisfaction, the power of the attack seemed to have been improved again, and the mud on the black land turned into gray sand.
Tick, tock, tick. Kritonia suddenly heard the sound that was not affected by the power of time. The silver pocket watch in Lucien's right hand was still recording the time accurately under the corruption of black, white, grey, and Time Deceleration.
A black tailcoat, a bow tie of the same color, and a silver pocket watch … In Kritonia's eyes, Lucien did not seem to be in a battle of legends but a banquet of nobles. After the beautiful lady asked for the time, he took out his pocket watch leisurely and opened the cover, before he pressed it with his middle finger.
Crack!
A heavy pressure suddenly appeared, and the surrounding blackness became heavier. When the sword light that was about to destroy everything was about to hit Lucien, it was pulled by a huge gravitational force and changed from a straight line to a curve, tilting to the side.
"Hmph!"
The colors in Kritonia's eyes were gone, and they became hollow, as if a river of time was running inside. Exerting his strength, his longsword broke through the influence of the collapse of gravity and slashed at Lucien in a beautiful arc.
"Elemental Protection!" During the time gap created by the collapse of gravity, Lucien had already cast the spell. Countless spots of light of elements glowed on the Robe of Grand Arcanists, gold, silver, white, and black, congregating into a translucent shield that blocked "Heart of Time".
Hualala. As if running water were echoing, the legendary defense spell, 'Elemental Protection', suddenly changed into different parts. Under the influence of time, they contradicted themselves because of the different speeds and collapsed quickly under the sword.
However, it had fulfilled its destiny in history. It blocked Kritonia's attack that was close to his peak state, and Lucien took the opportunity to flash far away and lock onto him.
"Vengeful Gaze!" Lucien's voice was ragged. Also, compared to a regular spell, there seemed to be an ending syllable. It was because of the addition of 'Hand of Uncertainties'!
Although he had tricked the Original Fire by hiding his legendary strength and "Moon Timer", he was also affected by their cooperation with the World of Souls. The rescue of his teacher and the President would be dozens of seconds later than usual. During that time, it would be barely possible for him to stop Kritonia from escaping. He was directly immune to the space-time spells below legendary such as Maze. It was also why he chose the Original Fire of Yin instead of him.
Also, according to Winston's experience and intelligence, Kritonia was no longer as strong as level-three legendary due to old age, and it wouldn't be dangerous for him to stall him for dozens of seconds. However, it seemed that the guy was still vigorous and aggressive despite his age.
Lucien's right eye suddenly turned red like the most beautiful ruby. Then, a red, frozen ray of light darted out of it so fast that there was no time for anybody to react.
However, after the red ray hit Kritonia, it seemed to have 'transmigrated' to another world. It slightly deviated in the water-like time and bypassed Kritonia, piercing through the messy mountains behind him and darting to the horizon!
How inconceivable was this?!
Kritonia put on a cold smile. How could it be so easy to break his defense? If it could be done so easily, he would've perished in the legendary battles in the past!
Also, you have just advanced into legendary. Your magic is far from powerful enough!
Instead of teleporting, he began to turn into light and melted with his longsword.
In the gloomy black, white, and gray, a flickering bright light shone, like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, illuminating the world and driving away the monotony. The light slashed at Lucien as if it was not affected by the distance.
"Undead Rampart!" Because the Robe of Grand Arcanists was still buffering, Lucien used the Congus Ring.
Wu, wu, wu. In the World of Souls, the magic seemed to be enhanced. Countless ghosts and ghosts gathered from all directions, and countless pieces of flesh flew out of the mud and condensed into a wall of intertwined limbs. The faces of souls inside the wall revealed painful expressions.
However, the sword turned and slashed at Natasha on the other side in a beautiful arc!
Even with the power of time, it would take time to kill a sorcerer who had a lot of life-saving methods. However, it was much easier to deal with a gold Knight who could only use a legendary item three times!
Even though the Shield of Truth was used passively, she couldn't raise it more than three times!
Kritonia, who had tricked Lucien into casting time, slashed his longsword at Natasha who couldn't move because of the Shield of Truth brutally.
Natasha slightly bowed and raised the small, black Shield of Truth diagonally above her head. Her face was determined, and her eyes were filled with fighting will. The white lace on her wedding dress shivered softly.
Clang!
In the dull noise, Natasha, who was covered by the Shield of Truth, was stained with the color of nothingness. She seemed to be in a different world that could not be touched or hurt!
The shield was claimed to be the ultimate defense of space-time. According to Lucien's observation, it seemed to be of the same origin as "God's Guard".
After blocking Kritonia's attack, Natasha's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She gritted her teeth so hard that the silver-purple blood made her lips even more glamorous. If one observed more carefully, they would notice that her legs and hands were shivering slightly. She seemed to be struggling.
She wouldn't be able to resist two more similar attacks!
In order not to give Lucien a chance to lock onto him, Kritonia changed his direction with "Time Walk" after the attack and attacked Natasha again.
At this moment, he heard the ticking sound again.
In the complicated silver pocket watch, the black second hand was moving happily, pointing at the mysterious symbols made of all kinds of gems. Lucien pressed the second hand with his thumb, and the second hand froze on the spot, as if it was broken.
Greyness drove away the blackness again. The area seemed to have entered another time and space. Everything was so quiet that there was no color at all, except for Hathaway's bright blue and silver.
The greyness of Kritonia did not stand still but slashed his longsword down in slow motion, which would help him avoid the attack after the effect of Time Stop was gone.
Lucien's eyes were deep and gloomy as he chanted,
"Vengeful Gaze!"
Just like before, 'Hand of Uncertainties' was attached, and his eyes shot out red rays like beautiful rubies, except that the rays could not affect Kritonia who was in another "time and space" for now.
After the cooldown, Lucien cast the spell again:
"Vengeful Gaze!"
Hand of Uncertainties and red rays again. Because of the prolonged casting time, the effect of Time Stop did not allow Lucien to cast a third spell.
Hardly had Kritonia seen the monotonous World of Souls reappear when he witnessed two red rays coming at him almost at the same time!
However, having dodged slightly, he had enough time to react. Time rippled around him like water. Then, the two rays of 'Vengeful Gaze' traveled to another world and bypassed Kritonia's body, just like their 'predecessors', before they returned and pierced through the mountains that reflected the outside world in chaos.
You're two levels higher than me. How can you break my defense when you've just advanced and learned a spell?
If you have the time to attack, you might as well transfer your wife away with magic!
Kritonia sniffed and continued attacking Natasha. He estimated that Natasha must've reached her limits after the attack!
However, he also felt deeply exhausted. His strength was fading fast, and he could not maintain the strength of level-three legendary anymore.
Although he had mastered the power of time, time did not spare him.
"Elemental Protection!"
Suddenly, Hathaway's cold and clean voice came over.
She took the attacks of the Primordial Mummy and the Lich King and freed her hands to enhance Natasha's defense.
Light splashed out, and Hathaway was suppressed by the two legendary spectres. However, they were heavily wounded too. Under 'Luxury Cracking', all the magic items except for the golden crown and the 'gem' around their head were broken. Even the brown 'cloth' on the mummy was partly damaged, revealing the rotten flesh that was as black as iron.
Such a battle could not be described as heartache.
Kritonia smiled and was much more reassured. Before, he was worried that Hathaway was merely tricking him into stopping at the critical moment so that he could not escape and would be hunted down by the reinforcements. But now, after attacking Natasha, Hathaway was finally stalled!
The slow-flowing time seemed to be sharpened all of a sudden, displaying its feature of washing and destroying everything. Kritonia continued attacking Natasha while Lucien was buffering.
The speed of the sword was different, and the changes were different. The different light spots in the Elemental Protection Light Shield were entangled with each other, twisting and distorting. It seemed that one more attack would break it.
"Vengeful Gaze!"
The voice that was so calm that it was cold entered Kritonia's ears, which made him rather confused. Was Lucien out of his mind? Was he still going to attack? He was confident that he could transfer Natasha away in time!
Lucien's right eye turned crimson, like the legendary ruby eye of Alterna of the Silver Moon. A ray of light was shot to Kritonia's side.
Rippling and untouchable, Kritonia was surrounded by 'time' that looked like water again. The familiar feeling of defense made him put on a smile.
But all of a sudden, his smile was frozen. The crimson ray did not pass through! It was not bent! It hit his chest directly! Sizzle!
After a slight noise, Kritonia's chest was completely pierced through by the ray. An irremediable and shocking blank appeared.
How is it possible?
He's only level-one legendary. How can he break my defense?
Even though I've regressed to level-two legendary, I can't have been pierced through so easily!
At the very least, I have to be 'washed' by Luxury Cracking in order to use 'Vengeful Gaze'!
The paralysis that came with 'Vengeful Gaze' froze Kritonia in midair. His eyes were filled with uncanny shock.
At this moment, Hathaway, who had noticed the change, abandoned her defense and simply allowed the Primordial Mummy and the Lich King to attack her. Then, not knowing that Lucien's spell could cause such an effect, she chanted a spell tacitly:
"Luxury Cracking!"
Crack, crack, crack. The light on Kritonia collapsed, and the longsword "Heart of Time" had tiny cracks too.
After Hathaway was hit by the two level-three legendary spectres, the passive spells such as Spell Trigger, Spell Order, Spell Sequencer, and Hathaway's conditioned reactions were all triggered. She got rid of the lock-on and disappeared, reappearing in another direction.
Because of 'Luxury Cracking', the paralysis on Kritonia's body was quickly gone, but a tall and straight shadow was suddenly reflected in his pupils.
Natasha, who was wearing a white wedding dress and was "sacred and beautiful", abandoned the Shield of Truth and the Thorny Crown with intense fighting will and devoted herself to the silver longsword in her hands.
After this attack, I will have no defense at all!
After this sword strike, it's either you die, or I die!
Her determination to march forward and never retreat was so concrete that Kritonia, who was half freed from the paralysis, was in a trance, as if he saw himself years ago.
Yes, he used to be so tough and full of the spirit of a Knight, but since when did he become a decayed old man who was scared of death?
The silver sword flashed, and Kritonia had no time to resist it. Then, he saw that Natasha's white wedding dress was stained with red, like a bloody rose.
"Is this my blood?" Kritonia suddenly had an amazing sense of relief, and he fell into the deepest and heaviest darkness.
