The darkness disintegrated and the sky became clear. The clear and crystalline waves of light seemed to have come from the ancient times and crossed over a long period of time to wash away all the dust.
In the face of time, everything was just dust!
And in this wave of light, a figure slithered through the ice wall made of aurora like a fish, escaping the heavy encirclement before the Fog of the Dead descended again.
The power of time was all-pervasive!
The figure was much dimmer than before. It no longer had the air of arrogance and pride. As soon as it escaped from the absolute darkness, it hurriedly turned into a hazy ray of light, opened the space-time barrier, and teleported to the distance.
At this moment, a huge black scythe, carrying the deepest and heaviest sense of death, suddenly fell from the sky, as if it had been waiting for this opportunity. It ruthlessly slashed at the center of the hazy light.
Ah!
The mournful screams seemed to come from the future, resounding in everyone's hearts, causing them to tremble all over.
"Time" cracked from the middle, breaking into two.
The first half of "it" simply jumped into the space-time gap without bothering about anything, and the second half exploded abruptly, making the scythe of death sink into the sticky ocean of time and become extremely slow.
Roar!
The dragon roared, and a streak of pale fire followed the shadow into the gap. Then, the gap was closed, and the "time and space" returned to normal, except for the vague, miserable moans echoing in the high sky.
"He's still alive?" Near the agreed meeting place, Priscilla felt that she could not close her mouth.
During her escape, she had been paying attention to the battle of the legendary experts. She knew how powerful the enemy was. One level-three legendary sorcerer, two level-one legendary sorcerers, one level-two legendary spectres, and two level-one legendary spectres. If it were the saint in the Radiance Church in Renstadt, he would've been killed too. However, Kritonia had escaped!
Even if he was heavily injured, just the fact that he was able to escape from such an ambush was enough to make him proud!
Around her, inside Congus' deep eye sockets, two needle-like red spots were bouncing intensely. "Is the power of time so powerful?"
He attributed the reason to the power of time and space, which was also at the highest level of magic. It must be noted that the former pope did not use God's Arrival when he "killed" the Liege of Death. At that time, nobody knew that the Church of Truth had such a terrifying divine power that seemed to surpass that of demigods. It was not until Avrora and her partner, Danisos, attacked Lance at the invitation of the Light of Stars, the consul of the Sylvanas Magic Empire, that the world finally witnessed the "power of gods" that seemed to surpass everything.
As a result, Avrora, the primordial dragon of time, who had never lowered her head and only retreated to the Dark Mountain Range during the peak of the three Magic Empires, perished, and Danisos was heavily wounded and had to flee.
Although it was an example of the power of God's Arrival, it also indirectly proved the magnificence of the power of time and space, which forced the former pope to use God's Arrival.
After that, the former pope and the current pope each used God's Arrival again. Their opponents were the god of the Church of the Sun and the Light of Stars, the consul of the Sylvanas Magic Empire. Both of them were experts in the field of astrology. The latter, in particular, had the help of the defense of Antiffler that had been deployed for ten thousand years. He was believed to be the one who was most likely to resist God's Arrival. However, after the attack, both of them were killed and the city was destroyed. Every surviving expert was shocked, and all the sorcerers began to feel fear from the bottom of their heart.
Looking at the space-time gap that was closed in midair, Amanata's body that had melted into the shadow was immediately highlighted, unable to hide perfectly anymore.
"This … This doesn't make sense …" Nielson, who was from the Asso Empire, found it hard to believe that the Liege of Death, who had recovered his level-three strength, failed to kill a level-two epic Knight, especially when he had the help of two legendary sorcerers!
While they were shocked, they were also deeply disappointed. They had thought that Kritonia's nightmare as a sorcerer in Holm would end today, but his combat ability was truly beyond their imagination!
Douglas, who was not far away from the meeting place, looked at the sky in confusion, finding it hard to accept either. Although he was prepared for Kritonia's escape, he still found it unreal when he saw it with his own eyes.
Fernando was even more shocked as he cried out, "He actually ran away? Who was the legend who led the research on the time-class bloodline? "
He was deeply impressed by the Legend back then. He was actually able to develop such a cheat-level bloodline.
"It's said that Mr. Viken, the King of Calamities, is one of the top three legendary sorcerers who study blood power fusion in the three empires. Of course, it is said that he is not very good at the power of time. He worked on it together with Mr. Maskelyne, the Prophet. However, the result of the time-class bloodline was not remarkable, and he never showed any noteworthy strength. It was not until the mutation of Kritonia's bloodline that people realized the preciousness of the time-class bloodline …" Arnold explained Fernando's question casually, not at all surprised by Kritonia's breakout of the siege.
"So, it's' King of Calamities' Viken and 'Prophet' Maskelyne …" Fernando repeated. Before he added the honorific, he looked at Arnold suspiciously. "Old fox, you don't seem nervous or disappointed at all?"
"I'm very disappointed and nervous," Arnold replied with a smile.
"I don't see it." Staring at Arnold, Fernando speculated, "Actually, you let him go on purpose, didn't you? Or did something else happen in the darkness earlier? "
"Haha. How would I know? I wasn't there. "Arnold put on a look of" I'm innocent. Don't stare at me ".
Douglas nodded, deep in thought. "In any case, Kritonia was a member of the nobles. Killing him directly would've raised the panic and backlash of the nobles. Why don't we …"
"Hehe." Arnold smiled but did not say anything. Pointing at Priscilla who was at the entrance of the cave far away, he said, "Let's talk to them first."
At this moment, Priscilla saw Arnold too. Immediately, scorching fireballs popped up and danced around her. Then, she smiled wickedly. "Old fox, come here and explain what's going on. I promise that I won't beat you up!"
"We can communicate well at such a distance." Arnold scratched his white beard and stepped back.
"You owe us an explanation." Congus flew close. It was hard to guess what he was thinking because there were only bones.
Arnold's smile was gone. He repeated the explanation that he gave to Douglas and Fernando solemnly and sincerely.
"So to speak, the legends are willing to cooperate? To what extent exactly? " Priscilla, as the leader of an organization, had recovered from the fury of being deceived. She considered the current situation carefully.
Arnold looked at them. "That will have to be negotiated. It will also depend on the Church's response. However, the preliminary cooperation will not be a problem."
"Yes. Now that a level-nine bishop has been killed, the Church will certainly step up the hunting. Two Grand Cardinals and a few legendary Knights will be on the move. We have to stay away for now." For the first time since the meeting in Allyn, Nielson spoke in a rather nice tone and attitude.
Now that the Liege of Death was willing to stand out and participate in the cooperation, it did not seem necessary for him to be too "resentful".
Hardly had he finished his sentence when the darkness around was split open, and a necromancer with a long black scythe floating above his head walked out. He was covered in a black robe, with only two spots of redness revealed in the shadow of the cape.
Around him, blurry souls surrounded him. They screamed, wailed, and cried, as if expressing their fear and submission.
"You are the dominator of death and the immortal will." Arnold, Nielson, Priscilla, Douglas, and the other sorcerers all pressed their chests with their left hand and their right hand on their forehead, reciting the salutation for the Liege of Death.
Memorizing the salutation for every legendary sorcerer was one of the compulsory subjects for the magic apprentices. Thankfully, there were not many legendary sorcerers.
"'Escape' is better than death …" The Liege of Death's voice seemed to be from the distant past. It was gloomy, gloomy, and lifeless. However, before he finished his sentence, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, before he said vaguely, "It has begun …"
It has begun? All the sorcerers, including the old fox Arnold, looked at the sky in confusion.
The originally dark and gloomy sky, without a single star in sight, had unknowingly become clear and bright. A bright and dreamy silver moon with a clear and cold radiance streaked across the horizon.
Then, the boundless light drowned it.
"What's this?" All the illusions were gone, and the sky was dark again. Arnold vaguely sensed something and asked, half in fear and half in expectation.
As if he had returned to the nightmare of the past, Douglas asked in confusion, "God's Arrival?"
As far as he knew, God's Arrival could not be seen by people in other places unless it was targeted at a very high location. According to the records, the other demigods, such as the Lord of Hell and the Will of Abyss, did not have the phenomenon of crossing continents when they attacked. However, one demigod was an exception. Her phenomenon could be seen wherever she could see the Silver Moon, and whoever fought her would show it by the way. She was Alterna, the God of the Silver Moon.
"Has the demigod finally taken action?" Priscilla felt that too many things had happened tonight, too many to be a coincidence!
"Mr. Tannanois, has the Silver Moon blocked God's Arrival?" asked the fat Nielson in a hurry.
The Liege of Death heaved a long sigh. "The moon has set …"
