In Zone 5...
Shen Yao was forcefully pushed aside as she endured the relentless assault of the Poisonous Vine and Spatial Whisperer. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"Huff...!"
Her breaths were labored as she quickly surveyed the ground battlefield. While she didn't have all the details, the warriors below were engaged in a desperate struggle.
"I have to do this... I can't afford to hesitate any longer."
Determined, Shen Yao steeled herself and retreated several hundred ters from her opponents.
"Also..."
Shen Yao gazed in a particular direction, sensing the presence of the Clan Leader of the thal Clan. It appeared that he was preparing to engage soone of equal standing. Both of their energies continued to surge without pause. They clearly intended to give it their all right from the outset.
"Don't tell ..."
She widened her eyes, suddenly realizing sothing. The thal Clan Leader must have discovered the traitor. Additionally, there was a faint aura of the Windi Clan Leader, but it was steadily fading away.
Whoosh!!
Poisonous Vine and Spatial Whisperer froze in their tracks. A sudden sense of danger gripped their hearts, prompting extre caution.
In the next mont, the entire area quivered as Shen Yao's energy burst forth, flooding the surroundings like a raging tide.
Boom!!
Li Guan, who lay on the ground, gazed upward and muttered, "Shen Yao... She's going to use it. She's going to risk everything."
Shen Yao floated in the air, her energy radiating wildly. Her hair danced in the wind, gradually turning white.
[Earth Ascending Transformation: Golden Arhat]!
Her pupils emanated a white glow, and golden tattoos erged all over her body.
Poisonous Vine and Spatial Whisperer exchanged grim glances. They keenly sensed the impending danger emanating from Shen Yao at this very mont.
Shen Yao locked her gaze on her two opponents. One of them had already been wounded by Li Guan, and it was a sufficient cue for her. She intended to take on both of them single-handedly.
"Since the Blood Lightning Monster went all out and took one of you down, perhaps it's ti for to do the sa."
Her words resonated as she slowly raised her hand.
[Thousand Desolation Palm]!!
In an instant, a colossal golden palm, spanning a thousand ters, materialized in the air. It descended upon Poisonous Vine and Spatial Whisperer, who braced themselves as the palm lood overhead.
"Since you've chosen to stand in the way, you shall perish along with the rest!" Shen Yao's voice echoed.
The intense energy radiated throughout the entire landscape. The golden palm in the sky cast its shadow over every corner of the land.
Poisonous Vine and Spatial Whisperer inhaled deeply. Their energies surged as they unleashed their techniques in unison.
[Space Divine Slash]!!
[Omni Poison Strike]!!
Their attacks clashed with the colossal golden palm, generating intense friction in the air and causing the space to tremble violently.
Boom!!
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Souta halted in his tracks, sensing the intense energy fluctuations in the atmosphere.
"Shen Yao..." Souta murmured as he directed his gaze toward the source of the energy surges.
Red Mist also turned her attention in that direction, a grin forming on her lips. "They're taking it up a notch. What about you? Are you still going to hold back, or is it ti to go all out? Maybe, your battle with Boulder Jack really took a toll on your body."
Souta stepped back, scrutinizing his opponent. His aura remained as potent as ever, and the injuries on his body seed to have boosted his strength. He could have healed those wounds, but he chose not to, in exchange for enhanced stats.
"Well, I'm not entirely sure about that," Souta replied before he slashed his sword horizontally. A burst of crimson energy radiated from the blade, but Red Mist skillfully evaded it. Souta then retreated while twenty black spheres spun on his back.
With a resounding shout, Souta gestured with his hand, unleashing a powerful gravitational force.
Bang!!
The gravitational pull was so incredibly strong that it suddenly inverted the entire field. In an instant, light and particles were forcibly pushed away, and various structures and trees were uprooted from the ground.
Red Mist continued to float in the air, though a hint of frustration crossed her face. The gravitational force was formidable, but it wasn't sufficient to completely immobilize her.
She glanced downward, observing the ground that had been thoroughly cleared. Even the warriors engaged in battle had been affected by the pervasive gravity. Only those experts who had reached the Four Shackles or higher could withstand the gravitational onslaught from every direction.
However, Red Mist noticed sothing peculiar. She turned her head, and her eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, the scenery around her underwent a dramatic transformation. A massive platform materialized beneath her feet, and towering pillars graced every corner, supporting a grand and imposing ceiling. Dark and light energies perated every part of this structure, and she felt the elental suppression inherent in this place.
"You...?!"
Souta grinned and declared, "[Undead Colosseum Party]..."
"Boulder Jack's spell... You've mastered it?" Red Mist squinted her eyes. She was well-acquainted with this spell and understood its danger, as she could feel her elental power being suppressed within the field. She shook her head and smiled, remarking, "You, with the gravity earlier, that's quite the strategy."
Souta wasted no ti and dashed toward her, wielding the vajra sword. "The gravity won't resolve everything, but it'll aid my allies, even though so of them will be affected."
"Good," Red Mist smirked as flas enveloped both her hands.
She retracted her fist and launched it at the opportune mont. anwhile, Souta slashed his sword, sending a massive blade of crimson energy.
Boom!!
Following the collision of their attacks, Souta quickly distanced himself from Red Mist, closely observing her every move.
Suddenly, he widened his eyes as the entire ground crumbled into pieces.
"This is..."
Souta quickly grasped what was unfolding.
Red Mist also halted, her attention fixed on the surroundings. The suppression that had been diminishing her elental powers was gradually fading away. She had a notion of what had occurred.
She glanced at Souta and comnted, "It appears he took a drastic asure to counter your gravity sche. You created a gravitational field to propel every object in this nation toward the device, and he simply annulled it. It's still a spell, after all."
In various regions of the country, nurous experts paused in their tracks, gazing skyward. Even top-tier experts like Naruse, Shen Yao, Kasci, and those affiliated with the Deadly Sins detected the shift in the atmosphere.
"This...? My spells are restricted!" Naruse squinted her eyes.
"The spells have dissipated..." Kasci muttered.
In the space above Zone 7, Adel stood facing a man clad in a black robe, who wore a grave expression.
Adel opened and closed his fist, realizing that most of his buff spells were rapidly vanishing.
"I knew this wouldn't be an easy battle. But I never anticipated encountering soone with this kind of ability here," Adel muttered in a subdued tone.
The man standing before him was Anti-Mage, the nesis of all spellcasters throughout the world. His appearance had also undergone a significant transformation, as the deceptive spell he had been using had dissipated.
His red hair billowed in the wind, and his cold, red eyes bore into Adel. His features were chiseled, and a nacing scar marred his left cheek. Anti-Mage was, in fact, a pure-blooded barbarian.
Anti-Mage's fingers began forming a peculiar gesture, causing bluish dots of light to coalesce around his body.
[Nullified Area: Dead Spell]!!
At this mont, all spells within the country were nullified. No one could use them in Anti-Mage's presence. Magic circles disintegrated into pieces as the effects of every spell were negated.
This ability transford the entire country into a dead zone, rendering the use of spells impossible. Anti-Mage's unique ability provided him a significant advantage over any experts reliant on spells.
"You aid to destroy the device, didn't you? Even the Blood Lightning Monster attempted it, but with my presence in this country, no spells can damage the device," Anti-Mage's voice resounded.
Adel looked down and observed the vanishing gravitational force. Even the vast platform in Zone 6 was crumbling.
"Hmm..." Adel shifted his gaze to Anti-Mage and declared, "I never expected this turn of events. But if you think that disabling all spells in this country will secure your victory, let demonstrate sothing."
A smile crept across Anti-Mage's face. "Give it a try, then."
"Your ability couldn't even stop Shen Yao's rampage! She doesn't rely on spells, so I'll simply employ abilities other than spells!" Adel's grin widened, and a potent surge of bloodlust radiated from his body.
Ohm!
A marble materialized in Adel's hand, morphing into a three-ter-long greatsword. His forehead emitted a bluish fla that extended to coat his armor. Instead of heat, a potent frigid energy emanated from him, sharply lowering the temperature.
[Heavenly Formation: Frost Fla]!!
