Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 556 - 268 Escape and Shock_3

Gazing into the mirror at Alka’s Mirror Surface, he remarked with some surprise, "And to think you’ve mastered two Treasures, achieving what I have now. At your age and level, that’s truly commendable."

"If I were your age, I would only be able to look up to your shadow. Given a bit more time, your achievements would surely surpass mine. What a pity."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand and clenched his palm. Alka felt the restraints on his body tighten further, even beginning to crush him.

But now, he couldn’t even control his facial expressions.

"Watch how I capture your friends one by one. This is the consequence of defying me."

With a forceful wave of his hand, the surrounding mist was completely swept away, dispersing outwards.

Slight Magic Power trickled from his hand, transforming into a faint pink hue that settled upon the nearby soldiers, awakening all of them, including Balazs.

Balazs, who was amidst the shattered space, quickly ran out upon seeing the situation.

Seeing the surrounding mirrors and the imprisoned Alka, he shook his head with some regret.

"General, we..." The soldiers who had just awakened immediately gathered around, wanting to apologize.

The General simply waved his hand. "It’s alright; I don’t blame you. Let’s leave this place."

Having said that, he gently raised his hand.

The restrained Alka and the two others immediately floated into the air.

Seeing this, Balazs quickly stepped forward, opened his mouth, and said, "General, could you spare their lives?"

He felt somewhat guilty towards Alka and his companions.

"Spare their lives? I have no intention of taking their lives for now. I want to capture all of his teammates."

As he spoke, he clenched his hand again. The pressure on the restrained individuals suddenly increased, causing them to frown deeply.

"Such a fine young team. One only needs to capture one of them, and it’s akin to capturing them all. Their passion and emotions will always compel them to rush to the rescue, one after another, even knowing they are no match for us."

Looking at the surrounding mirrors, the General just waved his hand, and an invisible force shattered all the mirrors before him.

This is the Mirror Maze’s weakness: a large-area attack. As long as its power is even slightly adequate, it can be cleared away in an instant.

No matter how strong or numerous the mirrors are, they cannot withstand a moment of widespread destruction.

Not to mention, the attack came from a Fourth Stage powerhouse.

They were lifted into the air and pulled outside, with the soldiers and Balazs following behind.

With a gentle wave, the Magic Power attached to the spatial fracture dissipated instantly. The fractured opening, now like a vortex, began to absorb the surrounding materials.

In an instant, the entire house collapsed completely. The fallen wood and bricks were all sucked into the fractured opening.

However, this opening appeared and vanished quickly, closing completely in less than half a minute.

"A few of you, go to the beach and find their ship. Tell those still on board that if they don’t come by daytime tomorrow, these two will meet their end."

"Yes!"

Several soldiers immediately hurried out.

"They should already know these two have been captured, shouldn’t they? Why still bother notifying them?"

"There will always be cowards who try to flee, perhaps claiming these two are already dead. We can’t let the words of such cowards sway the passionate young ones."

Balazs listened and silently thought, So ruthless. He then sighed.

The diffused pink mist didn’t disappear but vibrated subtly with the Magic Power in the air.

Alka, restrained in mid-air, could feel these changes.

He was no longer controlling the pink mist, yet it persisted and seemed to grow more active.

It no longer required his energy supply to exist in the air.

This phenomenon only occurs in the Dream World.

A large amount of pink mist gushed out once again.

Seeing the incoming pink mist, the General frowned and waved gently, causing it all to scatter into the distance.

"Still not giving up? Do you want to die now?"

Facing his threat, Alka, tightly constricted in mid-air, felt the pressure around him intensify, as if his bones were about to be crushed.

But even so, he continued to emit pink Magic Power relentlessly, showing no sign of stopping.

The surge of pink mist caused strange changes in the surroundings.

No, not just in the immediate vicinity; the changes were spreading across the entire Island.

Some abandoned wooden houses seemed to start twisting, and the sky began to darken.

The once unchanging sky also seemed to twist and transform.

Light and shadow twisted and emerged all around, like oil paints and pigments.

It made the entire world seem abstract.

Stones became twisted, great trees were elongated, and rubble and dust were compressed into flat, disc-like shapes.

Even their original colors changed.

Green vegetation became multicolored—elongated, twisted, and spiraled.

Gravel started to float up and down, extending and deforming.

Some wooden houses floated up in their entirety, transforming from small cabins into colossal, twisted oil paintings.

The entire space seemed to be deforming, dragging the surrounding reality along with it, twisting and changing as if space itself were being kneaded like dough.

These changes continued to spread until the entire Island was transformed in this manner; even the surrounding waters began to twist and change color.

The Sound of Dawn, docked at the coast, was also enveloped, emitting an ominous music.

"Everyone, stay calm! Remain vigilant of your surroundings!"

Ling, standing on the deck, shouted loudly, steadying the emotions of the Puppet Girls on deck.

By this time, Jason and the others, who had scattered and fled, had also regrouped in small clusters.

The changes around them made them stop in their tracks, momentarily unsure of what was causing such a transformation.
