"What's that......"

Ordinary people are fine. At the moment when Nicholas cast "Soul Return", the casters felt a shudder from the heart.

Soul - Beside the "Obsidian Falcon", countless souls appeared. A large number of souls are flying, and they are entering the body of the "obsidian falcon".

……

"Chains of Loyalty".

The "seed" planted by the ancestor of Okade.

Generations of "seeds" obey his commands, living silently in Elrios and even in the clouds, waiting for the time when the Okad bloodline will re-emerge and take revenge on Elrios.

Time has passed, and many "seeds" have disappeared into the long river of history, but there are still some inheritors who have persevered in their mission for thousands of years, and finally waited for the day when Nicholas came.

Even after absorbing the power of many souls and turning them into himself, Nicholas still couldn't suppress the girl who became the "guardian of the sea of clouds".

So...... Let's go forward.

From now on, we will go back to an even more ancient time.

The "chain of loyalty" has been passed down from generation to generation. There are not enough people in the current era who are trapped in chains, so it is enough to bring their ancestors in.

If the number of one generation is not enough, then the past ten generations will be used to compensate.

For the legendary mages of the Age of the Sea of Clouds, the casting of "time magic" has always been a difficult problem. But by desperately studying the time scale, Nicholas eventually wants to control part of the power of time, just like Elrios in the past and Goth in the future.

It's not "freezing" or "swimming against the current".

Nicholas's "Soul Returning to Oneness" can pull objects that have no mass and are connected with themselves from the ancient past to the present.

For Nicholas, it was the soul of the ancestors who executed the "chains of loyalty" for Okade.

Isn't it enough to be a soul slave in this era? Never mind. It would be good to carry the souls of all those who have performed the "chains of loyalty" throughout the ages for their own use.

Even though most of them are decaying souls on the verge of death, they are determined to carry out Okad's mission, and their strength is the best nourishment for their own Okadian masters.

With the "Chain of Loyalty" as a bridge, a total of more than a thousand souls surround the "Obsidian Falcon".

All souls cheered and were willing to burn themselves to Nicholas.

For these souls, who have carried out a lifetime of lurking missions in the darkness with no end in sight, it is the supreme glory they have been looking forward to for a lifetime to travel through the ages and be used by Nicholas before the soul is about to dissipate.

……

This timeless traction is so terrifying that even those who are not affected by the "Chains of Loyalty", but still have the mark of the "Chains of Loyalty" in their souls, are affected a little.

"Hmm." Victor in the Imperial camp knelt down in pain, the memories of his ancestors devouring him like a tidal wave, wanting to make this descendant who betrayed Okard give up on himself, as long as Victor did not give in, those ancient souls could not be loyal to Nicholas.

"Really powerful...... Bevier, who has elemental biological blood, is less affected by the "Chains of Loyalty", and Rao must also use the power of the "Guardian of the Sea of Clouds" to keep her sanity.

"What the hell is going on......?"

……

"Not good."

Realizing that something was wrong, the girl spat out three-color dragon breath to Nicholas.

The dragon breath of the "Three Glass Dragons" is originally three different powers: "light", "fire" and "rainbow".

But now, relying on the advanced arcane magic of the blue ocean, each of the three "fusion breaths" emitted by the girl has three different powers, and its power is far stronger than the three breaths combined in the past.

"Huh."

Nicholas let out a disdainful laugh.

The large and small wounds on the body of the "obsidian falcon" are sprinkling black-gray obsidian dust.

The black-gray dust shimmered, and the girl's dragon breath was enough to flatten the mountain, but it dissolved directly out of thin air in front of this dust.

Blue Ocean Advanced Arcane - Suppression Wall!

The difference between less than a hundred souls and thousands of souls is a qualitative change.

Under the pressure of being suppressed at the intermediate level of the blue ocean, Nicholas simply raised his strength back to the limit of the advanced level of the blue ocean! Infinitely close to his peak form.

"With this pressure, I want to suppress Lonely. You're not far from it, little girl......! ”

On the claws of the "obsidian falcon", there is a faint blue-purple thunderbolt rising.

From beginning to end, Nicholas, who tested the girl's strength, did not use the thunder and lightning spell he was best at to the maximum. And now, he doesn't care.

"Not good!"

In front of the girl, the figure of the "obsidian falcon" suddenly split into three, and pounced on the girl from three different directions. Each "obsidian falcon" exudes the same aura, and the thunder and lightning on their claws are just as terrifying.

"An improved version of Sham's doppelganger spell...... No, it's an illusion ...... with the power of shadows? ”

The girl's dragon claw a little, and one of the phantoms dissipated directly.

"Beautiful solution. Unfortunately, it was not enough. ”

Legendary Spell of Change - Ride the Electricity!

The entire "Obsidian Falcon" deity turned into a bluish purple thunderbolt. At the same time, the remaining one also turned into a black curtain, interfering with the girl's vision-

"Shadow Spirit of Light!"

Rumble!

Dragon's blood swayed. Nicholas's blow directly tore apart the girl's small half of the dragon wings.

If it weren't for the fact that the girl not only used the "Light Shadow Spirit" to dodge when Nicholas attacked, but also used the "Sensory Bondage" to interfere with Nicholas's five senses, I am afraid that it would be her own three dragon heads that would have been cut off.

The girl who has been reserved and avoided using the secret ritual to fight directly in the dragon form finally couldn't help but exhaust all her means.

But even so, the girl, who had lost a small part of her wings, lost her balance and fell towards the lake outside the city.

"You're not really a legendary spellcaster yet. You are too inexperienced. The Obsidian Falcon waved its claws in the air.

Spell Legendary Spell • Sea of Trees is Born!

Both Dragons and Falcon are good at aerial combat. This means that it's better to tie your opponent to the ground!

In just a few breaths, the ancient lake, which is older than Phoenix, disappeared without a trace. Instead, a dense forest appeared in its place, and a towering giant tree with a trunk no less than the size of the "Three Glass Dragons" towered into the sky, standing in the middle of the woodland. And many trees centered on it are also growing wildly, turning into cages to restrain the "three glazed dragons".

But before the branches and vines could touch the girl, she regained her balance. The three dragon heads re-emitted blazing flames, sweeping away the dense forest in an instant.

"Even with thousands of souls, is it still a little bit ......?" Nicholas was a little anxious.

By burning those thousands of souls, Nicholas's strength returned to its peak. However, it is not enough to seal the girl who is the guardian of the sea of clouds. It is much more difficult to "seal" an opponent than to "kill" it directly.

And the girl lying on the ground, the six dragon eyes also have solemnity. She began to summon magic to repair her damaged dragon wings.

Nicholas was able to fight back in such a desperate situation.

Looks like it's time to use that hole card...... The girl's heart said.

Just now, Traynor used this hole card to kill Levi, who can be called the strongest life-saving in the entire cloud world.

The girl was very sure that as long as she could hit Nicholas directly with this blow, Nicholas would definitely be defeated!

However, this short cone melee weapon will only be effective if it hits the enemy itself in melee combat. And with Nicholas's strength and caution, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be able to hit Nicholas with a melee weapon.

Not to mention, in the form of a dragon, it would have been difficult to use this short cone, which was too small for a human.

"Lone won't give you a chance."

The falcon raised its spiky beak. This was his strongest weapon, and the most terrifying power of thunder and lightning in the cloud world began to condense on it.

The wounded wings of the three glazed dragons have not yet been repaired. Now, as long as this lightning can hit, the battle will be over!

And yet—

"Dimi!"

The girl noticed.

On the horizon, a golden dragon suddenly appeared, roaring towards the decisive battle. Sensing that the girl was in danger, he did not hesitate to spit out a fiery golden shockwave at Nicholas.

"Flawless Glow Dragon!" Nicholas let out an angry roar, and he turned slightly, resummoning the wall of anticipation to ward off the glorious dragon's breath. The glow dragon turned into an afterimage and struck the back of the "obsidian falcon".

Here's your chance! The girl's eyes lit up.

This may be my best chance in this battle.

"It's up to you—"

Nicholas jerked sideways, and the beak of lightning struck Dimi's wings. Nicholas's legendary power directly destroyed almost half of the left wing of the entire "Flawless Glow Dragon" and caused Dimi to fall to the ground.

And the "Three Glass Dragons" seized the time of these few seconds and disappeared from the same place-

"At a higher level." Without time to chase the injured Dimi, Nicholas raised his falcon head and looked coldly at the "three glass dragons" in the heights. Instead of climbing with her wings, she used a short-distance spatial teleportation technique to reach higher in the sky.

The "Three Glazed Dragons" glanced at the "Flawless Glowing Dragon" in the distance with concern.

And then—

Her wings stopped flapping.

"What......?" Nicholas was stunned.

The huge body of the glass dragon fell straight towards the giant falcon. She bared her teeth and claws, as if she was going to perform a powerful pounce, but she didn't even have a powerful arcane fluctuation on her body.

"Have you given up on yourself?" Nicholas sneered. He folded his wings and prepared to fend off the girl's sudden cold move, and he stepped back slightly, avoiding the path of the glass dragon's fall.

And yet—

The glazed dragon suddenly vanished.

Nicholas's pupils shrank.

Then......

"You're ......"

By the time Nicholas's arcane pupils finally discovered the girl's location, it was too late.

The girl was directly in the air and lifted her "deity advent". At the same time, another auxiliary class of arcane has begun to take shape.

Blue Ocean Advanced Arcane • Perfect Blanking!

This is an arcane that completely shields one's own presence from the opponent's five senses. At this time, the girl was shielding not the majestic glass dragon, but her own small human body, and even Nicholas was confused for more than a second.

Draped in the "Aurora" and holding the "Bright World" in her right hand, the girl landed directly on the folded wings of the giant falcon.

And the dark short cone that she hid in her left hand was also fiercely stabbed into the body of the "obsidian falcon".
