Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 814 - 699: Old Acquaintance
As the voice sounded.
A tall figure over two meters tall, draped in a wizard's robe, suddenly appeared beside the immobilized twin sisters, holding the Snake-eyed Witch who was as limp as a rag doll.
Red magic spiritual light flickered from his fingertips, quickly spreading over both of them. Although each family's principles for producing immobilization effects differ, such abilities are invariably most afraid of a powerful magic impact.
As long as the internal balance is broken, the immobilization effect will be lifted.
"Ah!"
Finally regaining their freedom, Clareesa and Leonara, who could only watch helplessly as their teacher was tortured, couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
They hastily took their teacher, drenched in cold sweat and pale as a sheet, from Aiven's hands. Although they had never met this strange tall wizard, it was clear that he was a friend, not a foe.
"Here, try this."
Aiven casually handed them a bottle of [Purification Potion] made by the Magic Potion Master Leon.
Without needing a close inspection, he could see that the witch's symptoms were remarkably similar to when Leon was nearly fallen during an attack in the Spirit Realm.
After learning from past mistakes, the Master of Magic Potions accepted by the "Vitalist School" lived up to expectations, quickly producing multiple versions of [Purification Potion] combining existing knowledge and ancient formulas.
Even if its effect on Upper-Rank Wizards might not be immediate, it was still capable of preventing further deterioration.
Although Aiven had a [Moonstone] that could break convention and reverse loss of control, he couldn't just bring out his trump card whenever any spiritual problem arose, could he?
He would not do things where the gains and risks were clearly disproportionate.
However, the short time spent handing over the injured was enough for the enemies opposite to react.
ZZzzp—!
Two Tier 3 "Deceitful Dream Cultists", one Tier 3 "Insectoid", and two Tier 2 Peak "Blasphemous Cultists" did not waste time asking "who are you". Confirming the hostile relationship, they attacked without hesitation.
Invisible ripples spread in the air, forming a sharp spike at the forefront of the wave, both covert and swift.
[Divine Skill: Soul Needle Stabbing]
The two "Blasphemous Cultists" jointly spat a cone-shaped yellow-green toxic fog, enveloping a large area, and corroding the ground's gravel, sand, and grass into a dark, swampy sludge.
[Divine Skill: Foul Acid Fog]
Unhurriedly, Aiven took the three teacher and students into his [Witchcraft Garden], activating [King's Rook Castle] to step behind the group of Ancient God's Beloved.
Before they realized something was wrong, red light surged from his fingertips.
Rumble...
Giant earth-stone hands five meters high had already flipped the earth's surface, rapidly emerging from beneath their feet, crashing down like ocean waves.
"Dodge!"
Facing this all-directional offensive, following the witch's wide-ranging witchcraft, among the remaining five Transcendents present, the first reaction from those in magic professions was to ascend.
Yet they were easily swatted down by the abruptly rising giant hands, and then one layer of rocky hands after another tightly compressed them, suppressing them thoroughly.
Meanwhile, the sole transhuman on the physical side "Insectoid" exploded with a powerful blue-green Combat Qi Flame all over.
Wielding a well-forged Extraordinary Hand Half-Sword, he transformed into a meteor, charging swiftly upon the earth-stone waves towards Aiven who appeared behind him.
This was a Peak Grand Knight originally under Crown Prince Yellen. However, he was one of the strong knights once entitled to attempt breaking through Tier 4, none of them were ordinary individuals.
In the splendid Combat Qi Flame.
The Insectoid's facial bones protruded, eyes reduced to insect-like compound eyes, the entire body enveloped in a ghastly white exoskeleton, already transformed into a fusion of human and insect.
Moreover, after the distortion by [Corrupting Blood], his mind became more obsessive, and his Combat Qi strength rooted in willpower had also seen a significant enhancement. Though still unable to break through Tier 4 Title, both physical strength and Combat Qi intensity had surpassed all Tier 3 Great Knights.
Facing this bizarre figure charging over, Aiven seemed to spot something unbelievable and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Eh, an insect? And... Ilya's Military Swordsmanship?"
Pah—!
A snap of fingers, and the world around seemed to come to life.
The air transformed into chains, barring the Insectoid's charging steps, a cross current blowing fiercely from the sword's side, and a depression suddenly appeared on the ground beneath his feet...
[Creator's Blood: Enemy of the World]
A technique consuming minimal effort from Aiven, yet the opponent seemed to be caught by the Chain of Accidents Technique, with the entire world perpetually working against him, even a speck of dust striving to jab into his eyes.
A miss by a hair, a mistake by miles!
Before he even reached Aiven, the mighty Insectoid faltered, his extraordinary swordsmanship losing more than half of its power.
Lightning flashed beneath Aiven's feet, turning slightly to easily dodge the radiant Combat Qi Flame, the sharp longsword seemingly severing even the earth.
Subsequently.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Their shadows flickered all the way.
Using [Enemy of the World], like a skillful bullfighter, teasing an enraged ironclad wild bull, even as the corrupted Peak Grand Knight roared continuously, he couldn't touch even the hem of Aiven's garment.
