"Pfft!"
The next second, a blazing flame cut through the air like a whiplash, slashing the girlâs body as if bisecting her from shoulder to abdomen, showing no mercy as it sliced through.
Instantly, the searing black blade cut through the girlâs skin, flesh, and body, causing a burst of blood light from her shoulder to her abdomen.
"ââââ"
The girl widened her ice-blue eyes that shimmered with light, staring fixedly at the blaze coming from ahead.
However, Reigerâs figure had already vanished from there.
Reiger had already teleported behind the girl, his back facing her, as he sheathed his sword.
The two stood back to back, one facing the wind, the other covered in blood light, motionless.
Only after a long while did the girlâs body fall from mid-air, directly plunging into the magma below.
The red in Reigerâs eyes and the glow of the Dragonâs Secret Treasure on his fingers gradually faded, until it completely disappeared.
"Phew..."
Exhaling softly, Reiger glanced at the Magma Sea below.
"To make me use Fierce Demon Spear, you can be proud."
Leaving these words, Reiger activated the teleportation magic, vanishing from the spot.
This Magma World suddenly returned to silence.
After an indefinite amount of time, a block of ice sculpture suddenly emerged from beneath the Magma Sea.
The ice sculpture flowed out with the lava, its destination unknown.
As for the ancient fire dragon on the Rock Platform, it remained entirely still.
Of course, for now.
If a third party had been watching this ancient dragon when Reiger activated the Origin Ring, using the power of the Dragonâs Secret Treasure, they would have noticed, for an instant, the dragonâs eyelid twitched slightly.
And as the dragonâs eyelid moved, the surrounding lava on the Rock Platform also boiled slightly.
Unfortunately, due to the fierce battle between Reiger and the girl that kept the Magma Sea turbulent, this anomaly went unnoticed.
The ancient fire dragon ultimately didnât awaken, and in that moment when its eyelid twitched, the rune-covered gold pillar suddenly lit up, causing its twitching eyelid to return to stillness.
This scene went unnoticed by everyone.
Including Reiger.
Including the girl.
Naturally, including those magical puppets and Sgranot.
...
Deep in the ruins, the stone hall.
When Reiger activated the teleportation magic and returned to the stone hall, Liz also happened to be pursuing her own enemies, bursting out from the passage in the far right corner.
"Clangâ Clangâ Clangâ"
In the crisp clashing sounds, Liz seemed to have caught up to the few magical puppets, fighting fiercely with them as she dashed out from the passage.
"Triple Enhancement Maximum Enhance·Instant Break."
Seeing this scene, Reiger, without a second thought, launched magic at the few fleeing and fighting magical puppets.
"Whoosh whoosh whooshâ"
Three blades of spatial magic instantly tore through the air, reaching the front of the magical puppets in a flash.
"...!"
Realizing something was amiss, the magical puppetsâ movements hesitated just as they tried to react, but Liz seized this flaw in their movements.
"Haah!"
Lizâs eyes flickered with a transparent gleam as she charged forward, shouting.
"Huh?"
Reiger faintly sensed something, looking at the transient transparent gleam in Lizâs eyes, and could not help expressing his surprise.
Liz then teleported in front of those magical puppets, her Mosloâs Sword slashing fiercely, emitting streaks of sword light.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...
In an instant, each of the magical puppets were relentlessly struck by the sharp Mosloâs Sword, with either a burst of blood light across their chests or appearing on some part of their bodies, as if struck by Thunder Strike, their figures trembling violently as they were thrown back.
Yet, in their retreat, they happened to fly into the path of the three blades of spatial magic.
Consequently, the three blades of spatial magic sequentially struck them.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...
In the tearing sound, each of the magical puppets were successively split open, cut in half without exception, and each lost part of their bodies, creating a gruesomely bloody scene.
""Maximum Enhance·Crimson Nova.""
Reiger ruthlessly attacked the vulnerable foes, seeing these dismembered magical puppets still struggling to move as if they did not know pain, trying to escape with their severed limbs, he immediately launched his attack magic, allowing the fiery red array to expand on the stone hall floor.
"Boom!"
The next moment, surging flames erupted from the array, shooting up to the ceiling of the stone hall, not only causing the ceiling to violently shake but also piercing and charring it, engulfing the limbless magical puppets and forcing them to struggle within the fierce flames.
After a while, the shadows in the flames ceased to move, as if they had been completely burned away, disappearing into the ash.
The flames that had shot up then gradually dissipated, leaving only a large gaping, charred hole in the ceiling as a testament to what had occurred here.
"Master!"
Liz breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves seemed to relax as well, causing the young girl to hurriedly run towards Reiger.
"Are you all right?"
Reiger went to meet her, sizing up Liz with a look.
"Iâm fine."
Liz quickly shook her head, subconsciously puffing out her proud chest, showing that she was unharmed.
Reigerâs gaze uncontrollably dropped slightly, and it was a while before he quickly redirected it.
Seeing that Liz really seemed unharmed, Reiger finally felt relieved.
"Good, youâre not hurt," Reiger said, "I thought you wouldnât be able to handle the pressure."
Reiger knew all too well how troublesome the magical puppets were.
Therefore, he was genuinely worried, worried that Liz might not be a match for those magical puppets.
Even though he had previously fortified Liz with dozens of spells for enhancement, faced with those magical puppets, Reiger still lacked confidence in Liz.
Thankfully, Liz had not disappointed Reiger.
Yet, it seemed it wasnât just luck.
"Those...uh, magical puppets? They were indeed formidable, I absolutely couldnât have handled them without your magic,"
Liz tilted her head, looking troubled.
"But I donât know why, as we fought, their movements suddenly slowed down, and my perception of the world seemed to undergo bizarre changes, allowing me to effortlessly notice their movements and match their speed."
"It was as if...my mind suddenly became clear?"
"Itâs so strange."
Hearing Lizâs words, Reiger blinked.
"Your mind suddenly became clear?"
Reiger looked at Liz, his expression turning strange.
Could it be?
Could it be that?
Could it be... Liz had awakened?
Awakened the ability to see through the world?
This...
"Can you still see anything now?"
Reiger stared at Liz, asking.
"Now?"
Lizâs expression instantly became more perplexed.
Seeing this, Reiger simply spoke up to guide her.
"Focus your mind, clear your thoughts, concentrate your consciousness at the deepest part of your mind..."
Under Reigerâs guidance, Liz nodded while staring intently at Reiger.
"Ah..."
Soon, Liz let out a small exclamation.
"I, I can see it again!"
As she spoke, a slight transparent luster emerged in Lizâs eyes.
The luster was very faint, almost imperceptible if one didnât look closely, incomparable to the state Reiger normally used to see through the world.
But seeing this, Reiger confirmed that the little princess had indeed awakened the ability to see through the world.
This left Reiger somewhat lost for words.
"How can this be?"
He was completely speechless.
