“Strange, I’ve been chasing for so long, why haven’t I found any trace of that guy? Is he really that fast?”
Flapping her snow-white wings continuously, the girl flew over the desolate, boundless land, voicing her confusion in self-talk.
The Illusionary Realm lacks sun, moon, and stars, and there is no distinction between day and night. It always seems to maintain a twilight-like state, neither dark nor bright.
The light illuminating the land and sky is not from dayti but from the imnse, almost overwhelming elental forces.
As noted in that journal, the concentration of magic here is terrifyingly high, even more outrageous than the night when Novia awakened with the tri-moon alignnt. It far exceeds the magic density of the present world by a hundredfold, forming a massive, almost sky-pervading magic tide visible to the naked eye.
Regarding the perilous environnt, the higher one goes, the more intense the magic storms beco. Ordinary beings would die instantly upon contact, forcing even those capable of flight to move along the ground.
Thus, they inevitably encounter the native creatures of the Illusionary Realm, such as...
“Oh?”
As she flew, the priestess suddenly raised her arm, using a golden shield that ford on her forearm to block a dark beam coming from afar. She halted and shook her head helplessly.
“Why again...?”
After leaving the protected area of the 【Sanctuary】 guarded by Tiyelu, Violet soon encountered various native creatures of the Illusionary Realm.
Unlike the present world, the creatures here are of two types: those that are barely perceptible, existing in a spiritual form as higher-dinsional spirits, and the elental spirits ford by various condensed elents.
Typically, the forr are very cunning, knowing how to seek advantage and avoid harm. They pose little threat to individuals with strong wills or powerful souls. Although they need to be detected through SP perception, Violet, who often maintains a small-scale scan, can generally ignore them.
Elental spirits are a bit more troubleso.
As described in the information previously obtained, the elents in the Illusionary Realm are not only dense but also exceptionally violent.
Consequently, the elental life forms naturally ford from them beco highly aggressive. These beings possess only the most basic level of intelligence, so upon seeing outsiders, they imdiately charge and attack fearlessly.
Combat has always been one of the priestess’s weak points. Handling one or two waves is simple enough, but if enemies keep erging continuously, she becos quite annoyed.
After clearing out a dozen or so waves of attacks, Violet decided to tough it out against the magic storm and ascended into the sky. In this terrifying turbulence, which even rips apart ordinary elental beings, the harassnt indeed lessened significantly.
As long as she didn’t ascend to an excessively high altitude, the passive defense of 【Feather Robe Graria】 was enough to withstand the conditions.
That said, the creatures of the Illusionary Realm lived up to their formidable reputation. After a brief period of peace, Violet soon discovered that enemies were hiding even within the elental storms in the sky.
Compared to the third to fifth-tier elental spirits or elite elental spirits on the ground, the elental beings spawned by the raging magic here were much more terrifying. These beings were at least ten ters tall and appeared in large groups!
In the outside world, such powerful beings—usually over sixth-tier and considered mighty—rarely appeared. Here, they popped up like cabbages, continuously erging, just like now.
Revealing themselves from the turbulent elents, the ones that had just attacked Violet with beams of light were a dozen tall figures, resembling pitch-black clouds condensed into semi-humanoid shapes. They had an upper body but a chaotic lower half.
Their forms were indistinct, with faces showing only dark, hollow sockets instead of eyes. Swirling dark magic enveloped their bodies like floating clouds, rising from their surface and surrounding Violet from all directions.
Elental beings above the sixth tier, although still lacking the intelligence for communication, have mastered so tactics and combat skills. Their current encirclent is clearly sothing that those lower-tier elental spirits, which only know how to swarm, could not accomplish.
“Tsk, how troubleso. I don’t have ti to passionately brawl with a bunch of idiots... One, two, three, four, five... twelve dark large elental beings...”
To the average person, this would be a disastrous situation, but for the priestess, it was not a big deal. If she wanted to, she could finish the fight in less than half a minute.
The problem, however, was that there were too many elental beings here. No matter how many she killed, there were always more. Since entering the Illusionary Realm just half a day ago, Violet had already eliminated at least ten waves of such attackers just after ascending to the sky.
The priestess had long detected these beings with her SP, but at that ti, there were similar large elental beings gathering all around her. This direction had the fewest, yet still more than ten sixth-tier enemies comparable to transcendent beings appeared.
And this was just shortly after she had entered the Illusionary Realm. According to the information obtained from Tiyelu, the outer regions of the Illusionary Realm usually didn’t contain many powerful beings. No wonder the explorer team, even with a strong figure like Minchen, ended up with a crushing defeat and had to flee.
The dark large elental beings ambushing the priestess showed no rcy. The mont they revealed themselves, they launched a storm-like barrage of attacks.
Destructive death rays, dark flas, decay and rot, chains of despair—familiar yet slightly different dark attribute skills were hurled relentlessly by the large elental beings, rcilessly bombarding the small figure of the white-robed girl in the center, seemingly about to completely engulf her in the next mont.
Miss Violet frowned slightly.
Although these attacks were not particularly powerful, she honestly hated dark-type enemies the most, a near-instinctive aversion.
“【I say, let there be light】”
A golden, sacred girl appeared as if born from light itself. Her body expanded with the wind, swiftly growing to a size equivalent to the ten-ter-tall elental beings. The radiant spear in her hand drew an arc in the air, turning the incoming dark elental skills into bursts of black fla.
Then, the holy spear in the girl’s hand extended, growing to hundreds of ters in length, with its blade reaching skyward!
“Swish!”
A flash of golden light, and all the dark large elental beings surrounding the white-robed girl were suddenly paralyzed. In the next mont, like pages of paper sliced by a sharp blade, they were cleanly severed into two pieces from various angles.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!”
Several massive explosions of black fla erupted in the air, unleashing a torrential wave of dark elental magic. However, Violet had already deployed 【Light Protection】 to block the aftermath of these elental beings’ destruction.
With one move, she wiped out the enemies. The priestess mockingly wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead, and the three-ter-tall holy spirit of light behind her mimicked the action, looking particularly odd.
“Phew, that was close. Good thing my skills are top-notch.”
