Chapter 32: Dawn and Dusk

Diomedes didn't give Carl time to adjust.

Just as Carl was stunned, time around him suddenly began to slow down.

The light retracted again, and everything dimmed. The tongue of fire that engulfed everything around it slowed down and almost froze.

And at the moment when the flow of time around him was slowed down, Oswald's pupils shone with a bright golden light.

Like the morning light, there is a faint vermilion glow in the white gold.

- High Divine Technique: Sand Hour Celebrity: Acceleration!

The power that comes from the sand timepiece comes to you without prayer.

In Diomedes' field, not only has his speed not been slowed down, but even further improved.

Oswald appeared in front of the fire demon in an instant, and stopped instantly.

His fingertips were wrapped around threads of light that closely resembled those of Diomedes. It's just that their colors are slightly different - Oswald is white, while Diomedes' is closer to dusk. It's like the light emitted by two light bulbs with different color temperatures.

He shone brightly again.

- High Divine Technique: Gray Silk!

The silk threads strengthened by the power of the Gray Celestial Division turned into sharp blades.

Oswald's right hand suddenly raised, and the sharp line of light directly tore General Karl's body apart!

Blades as sharp as glass, like minions of beasts.

The offensive that spread out even cut through the wall behind General Karl!

Carl was devastated just a moment when they met.

But there was no blood spilling from him. I saw that with the dazzling incandescent brilliance flickering, a large number of golden-red sparks like electric welding burst out—

General Karl did not panic in the slightest. He just snorted, and a raging fire burned in his pupils, and the torn body was glued together by the flames, only with a deeper scar.

Shafiya was silent, shaking the staff in her hand.

The silver-white triangle glows with an iridescent glow. With the clanging sound of metal colliding, countless silver-white chains emerged from the void, firmly binding General Karl's whole body!

As soon as Carl raised his right hand, he was trapped in place, unable to move. But he didn't panic in the slightest.

I saw him standing motionless, but the scars on the front of his body turned into eyes full of malice.

- Ritual Spells, Eyes of Malice!

If you look at it directly, you will be shocked by the strong malice and will not be able to move.

The next moment, blazing fire spewed out!

Like a volcanic eruption, the golden-red magma accompanied by purple-red flames mixed with curses automatically counterattacked in the direction of Oswald's previous attack!

The lava cannon that automatically counterattacked instantly blasted out a hole in the Temple of Silver and Tin, which was reinforced by the Preservation Technique!

The wall didn't hold up for even a moment, and it was shattered by the flames that automatically counterattacked.

Additional sparkling flames fell outside—a few sparks landed on the grass, igniting a poisonous fuchsia fire. These thorn-like and snake-like twisted creatures of fire spread rapidly, steaming black smoke.

More flames fell into the lake that was bubbling with earthy muddy water. Immediately, a pungent light yellow steam steam sparkled loudly.

This is completely different from the power of the fire that Carl actively used.

The flames he activated on his own initiative were drawn from the body of the fire demon in his body and controlled by reason.

- But when he was attacked and bleeding, it was the unrestrained fire of the fire inspired by the "Fury" brand!

Ivus, who has a lot of experience in building abilities, immediately judged that General Karl should be the type who is particularly good at automatic counterattacks.

Unlike Emma, the succubus, Carl doesn't believe that much in the demons within him. The demons in his body were heavily sealed and suppressed, and only a small amount of power was exported that could withstand and restrain them.

And when certain conditions are reached, they can burst out with full power under controlled conditions.

Obviously, Karl set the condition of "being wounded and bleeding".

He is not the same person as the Firedemon, so the Firedemon in his body is able to heal him in a steady stream. Relying on the powerful vitality given by the Contract Fire Demon...... There may be other path traits that enhance survival.

That's why he has the confidence to be silent in the group.

Because he is the type of battle that relies on "passive ability", and the condition for triggering the passive effect is only to take a hit!

However, his powerful counter-attack cannon was a failure.

As soon as he was attacked and released from stagnation, he was once again slowed down by Diomedes.

Oswald was so fast that his line of sight couldn't keep up with him.

The moment the malicious eye opened, Oswald had already flashed behind General Karl.

He didn't even look at Carl, he even turned his back to him.

But at some point, General Karl's body was already tightly wound with five white threads. The end of the thread was wrapped around Oswald's clenched hand.

Oswald's pupils glowed red again.

- High Divine Technique: Radiant Fire!

The moment the counter-attack cannon was fired, the divine flames from Xi Tiansi ignited from Oswald's body, forming an invisible flame barrier around him. The divine flame spread out of his palm, igniting General Karl in the blink of an eye.

The divine flame enveloped him, scorching his body—

For General Karl, who has a high-level flame affinity, this is not a fatal wound.

At that moment, Oswald suddenly turned around.

Within a second, all three high-level divine techniques took effect.

He raised his hand, and three points of light appeared: bright yellow, gray, and golden red. They are joined together to form a triangle. And condensed into a white curtain of light in the middle.

His right index finger stretched out forward was just above the light curtain that had just been generated.

As if being catapulted, the Triangle of Light instantly expanded and flew forward, passing through General Karl, who had been slowed down again and had almost static flames burning on his body.

The next moment the triangle of light penetrated General Karl, the fire on his body suddenly became intense. An invisible storm swept in, extinguishing all the fires of the demons.

From the burning Carl, an endless white glow burst out. In an instant, he pierced the dark realm summoned by Diomedes.

The speed around him was slowed down, and it returned to normal in an instant.

But in the next moment, the whole world turned into nothingness, and only the pure and pure white realm remained.

Oswald's unusually swift speed suddenly returned to normal.

All buffs that everyone has blessed themselves and all the debuffs they inflict on enemies will disappear and zero in this pure white realm. All of these unbalanced forces were transformed into pure balanced powers, condensed in the next blow.

I saw Oswald slash down an unpretentious hand knife.

The hand knife, which could easily tear through steel and rock, did not itself touch Carl's body. There were no rays of light from his fingertips—maybe not. After all, in this pure white world, there is no "line" at all.

But even so, the pure white world was perfectly divided into two halves because of this.

When the pure white realm was cut, General Karl, who was in the middle, had no power to resist and was directly split into two halves!

- This is exactly the powerful blow that must be hit after being locked by Oswald!

And that cold balance power directly broke the seal in his body, making his body unable to be healed.

This made General Karl feel like a soft-hearted egg yolk cut by a thread...... After the surrounding "proteins" were cut open, the whole body erupted into colloidal flames, and the "scars" on the surface of the body twisted and spread, and the whole person gradually shattered and collapsed, almost melting into a flowing golden lava.

These two old men, taken out alone, may not even be able to beat the fifth energy level of the half-step death of the "bone eagle". But if the two of them join forces, even an elite like Carl will be almost impossible to parry.

You know, after Shafiya was banned, she didn't need any powerful spells other than "magic countermeasures" and "forced restraints".

And the restraint is useless to General Karl, who is mainly fighting back, basically equivalent to only these two guardian elves attacking Carl tacitly.

It wasn't just General Karl who was sliced open, but even the red barrier in the sky was shattered.

But at this moment, a stronger sense of crisis appeared in the hearts of everyone present at the same time.

"Run!"

Shafiya was the first to react.

Regaining her ability to cast spells, she didn't hesitate to point her staff against the wall. The other empty hand reached out to the void in front of him.

It's like you've reached a point.

The next moment, a blue-white rune light gate spawns.

"Run, Aihuas!"

She maintained the portal, urging loudly.

Oswald had just struck a blow with all his might, and the whole person was still in the backlash of the overload of the power of equilibrium. Eivas shoved Diomedes and motioned for him to flee with Oswald, who was standing still.

And Ivus also picked up Sherlock, who was still unconscious, and jumped into the portal.

Shafiya fell last, already seeing the wreckage of General Karl begin to twist and burn.

The surging desire for "rage" continued to condense with the roaring heat.

She didn't hesitate any longer, and withdrew the teleportation circle. The moment before the portal twisted and vanished, the whole person flew forward at full speed and crashed into it.

Then, the flames erupted.

From above the embers, the Flame Demon stood up—
