"Thea!!"

As soon as Simon reached the second basement floor, he immediately found Xia standing in the center of the circle. His usual cold expression flashed a momentary gaffe, and even the name he called out in a hurry carried a hint of anxiety.

But at this time, Sia couldn't hear it at all. She had poured all her spiritual power into the circle, constantly absorbing the power of the Heroic Spirit. That huge and vast power, even in terms of Thea's hero-level strength, felt that it was too much.

The power of the Heroic Spirit is too strong! Strong as the sea pouring into Sia, this is at best the body of a small stream. Shia had to keep venting this power from her body all the time to barely support this cycle, otherwise, this huge energy would be enough to cause great damage to her body even if it only stayed in her body for a second.

It can be said that the current Chia is a medium. The power of the Heroic Spirit was infused into her body through a circle, and then blessed the barrier that shrouded the chapel through her holy light spell. It's not that she doesn't understand that such a spell will inevitably cause a lot of burden and even damage to her body, but for the sake of those comrades who are still fighting outside, she is willing to make such a sacrifice.

However, Simon was unwilling.

"Stop! You have to stop!! ”

Simon hurried over to Thea's side and reached out to stop Thea. But before his hand could touch the golden pillar of light shrouded in the circle, it was bounced back.

"Tsk!"

If you can't stop it, it's better to destroy it at the root!

Simon's eyes flashed sharply, and after a moment calm, composure reappeared in his eyes.

He lowered his head to the formation of the circle. This time, though, he discovered something interesting.

- Someone has done something to this circle!

Simon's knowledge immediately made him judge this. The initial function of this circle may have been simply to ask for the help of the Heroic Spirits to increase their own Light power. I've seen many similar magic circles. However, the reason why he could definitely come to this conclusion was because the energy flow of the circle actually had a touch of blasphemy.

"Because of the extra strokes here?"

Simon's gaze fell on a corner on the edge of the circle. In the eyes of the connoisseur Simon, there were obviously a few more magic patterns that were added later.

"The Lich King?"

However, Simon had no intention of intervening in the Lich King's war with Silver Dawn in the first place, and even now he still had that in mind. Not to mention for him. The immediate priority now is to stop the near-suicidal behavior of Shia.

While he was glad that he had arrived in time, he was angry that things had changed again that he had not anticipated.

Thea didn't understand that Simon didn't ask her to stop using dark spells because the spells themselves were physically damaging. It's that her body can't bear too much power anymore!!

And the reason why she took a tacit attitude towards her use of the Holy Light Technique was because when the Holy Light Technique was used, although it would also increase the burden on the body, on the other hand, it would also repair the damage to the body. It's not like dark energy that's purely a force to destroy.

But even the Light, if any energy is too strong. After all, it will be a burden on the user, and Xia's current body simply can't bear such a burden.

"You're so willful!" Simon muttered to himself in a low and helpless voice. He didn't eavesdrop on Erigor and Thea's conversation, so he didn't expect Thea to delay the fate of the chapel again in such a way.

It's just that. In his eyes, whether the survival of the Silver Dawn or the change of ownership of the Plaguelands, none of this mattered to Sia's own safety.

Simon sighed helplessly. Reach out and flip your palm. A small golden hourglass appeared in his palm. The golden sands of time slowly floated out and flowed towards the circle.

Time is the law of the highest priority.

Although the golden sands of time were so subtle that they were invisible, they easily tore through the protection of the circle and slowly flowed into the circle, reversing the time of the circle...... Reverses to the state before being activated by Thea.

The vast strength of the body is gradually lost. Thea's tense nerves also relaxed for a moment. But she immediately spotted Simon standing at arm's length of hers.

"Simon, what are you doing!"

Simon didn't answer, just put away the hourglass in his hand.

See here. Xia, who already knew Simon well, almost subconsciously concluded that this magic circle did not stop by himself, but that Simon did it.

Thinking of the advantages that Silver Dawn would lose without this barrier of light and the consequences it would cause. Anger and fear caused Thea to lash out at Simon.

"You...... How can you do that!! Woo......"

Simon's blade interrupted her rebuke. He reached into the circle and struck Xia's neck lightly with his hand as a blade. Thea, who was overdrawn, immediately collapsed and was taken into Simon's arms.

At this moment, the circle has immediately ceased to function. The golden dome that enclosed the chapel lost its brilliant light and gradually dimmed, and the walls that were once as bright as gold were now like a thin veil, as if they would dissipate with a breath.

The corners of Darian's lips, who had been paying attention, finally drew a satisfied and cold arc. His hand raised slightly. The eyes of all the Scourge soldiers fell on his hands.

Holding the hand of a depraved ashbringer that exudes blasphemy.

When the green of the Fallen Ember Bringer falls, an army of the undead will engulf the rock-like chapel.

"Welcome, the victory of the master??"

Just as Darien sneered and prepared to attack. From behind him came the sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth.

Even louder was a heroic sound that resounded across the battlefield, forcing him to turn back in the direction from which it came.

"Lightless you! Arthas, you coward! No matter how many tricks you play, you still can't defeat justice!! I! Ferdin. Tirio!! It's back! Come back and crush your shameful plot!! ”

Ferdin. Tirio?

Darian's eyebrows gradually furrowed, why is this name so familiar?

Behind Darien, the cheers of the already desperate warriors of the Silver Dawn could be heard in the distance.

The High Lord of the Silver Dawn is back! Reinforcements are back!!

At this moment, all the persistence has meaning!

Now, victory belongs to the Silver Dawn!! (To be continued)
