A terrifying wave of scorching heat, so intense it burned his skin, suddenly rushed towards him!
"Again?!" Skala's heart pounded, his gaze sweeping towards the elf—only to see that the female elf, who had been curled on the ground, had quietly risen at some point, pushing her palms forward!
Between her palms, a mass of crimson, dazzling, and violently heart-pounding magic was frantically condensing and expanding!
So hot it almost ignited the air!
It was the core ultimate spell of fire mages—Combustion Blast!
Too fast!
The thought of shouting for Skala to dodge had just arisen when the supremely compressed ball of destructive fire was already unleashed!
A fire orb nearly a meter in diameter roared from her hands, transforming into a scorching meteor, tearing through the air, roaring directly towards the most densely packed area in the center of the plaza!
Siye's face was ashen, her mind cold—her [Protection Spell] was useless against this kind of area spell!
And there was no time to cast a new defensive divine spell!
Despair, like a cold tide, instantly engulfed all the trolls who witnessed this scene.
The fireball had not yet arrived, but Toka already felt his hair curling and charring from the terrifying heat wave!
Just as the destructive explosion was about to swallow everything—
The Divine Emissary KaIgnas moved.
His right claw casually lifted, aimed in the direction the explosion was coming from, his five fingers forming a loose grip, then pressing down.
No incantation, no dazzling light.
Only an invisible, absolute domain capable of freezing all energy flow, unfolded instantly at a speed beyond thought!
Eight-ring Divine Spell, Anti-Magic Field!
The roaring crimson fireball, the moment it rushed into this invisible field, vanished into thin air!
Its violent crimson glow suddenly extinguished! The churning flame structure silently disintegrated! The terrifying heat contained within it dissipated into nothingness!
The air, distorted by high temperatures, rapidly calmed, leaving only a faint scent of sulfur and char.
The explosion, which was world-destroying a second ago, had vanished into nothingness the next, as if it were merely a clumsy illusion.
The entire plaza fell into a dead silence.
The trolls, having survived, forgot to breathe, staring blankly at the empty air, then at the Divine Emissary, silent as a mountain.
As for the two elves, the moment the explosion was unleashed, they had already transformed into two blurred phantoms, sprinting with all their might towards the shadows on either side of the plaza!
Improved Invisibility Spell!
They had placed their last gamble on this desperate, feinting strike, only to gain a slim chance of survival.
In the Divine Emissary's cold, dark golden vertical pupils, a golden stream of light, almost mocking, flashed by.
His gently pressed right claw did not retract, but merely pointed very casually in the direction the female elf was fleeing, with a slight flick.
An invisible, strange fluctuation instantly crossed space, precisely hitting the rapidly moving invisible target!
Upranked [Command Spell]!
"Ngh?!"
The female elf, fleeing with all her might, suddenly stiffened!
As if instantly bound by invisible chains, unable to move!
The female elf's sprinting footsteps halted.
An invisible force pinned her in mid-stride, her entire body frozen in an extremely twisted posture on the spot!
The Improved Invisibility Spell instantly disintegrated due to the caster's violent mental shock, revealing her face, completely twisted by horror and restraint.
Her already damaged silk robe ripped open with larger gaps, her pale skin glaringly exposed in the moonlight.
A deeper fear gripped her—her body had completely betrayed her will!
A cold, brutal external will roughly took over her limbs!
She watched in despair as her hands, which had once formed spell-casting gestures, now stiffly rose, and her legs were forcibly twisted in direction.
She became a puppet on strings, pulled by invisible threads, moving awkwardly and eerily, step by step, shuffling towards the Divine Emissary!
"No! Stop! Damn it, stop!" She shrieked curses, trying to struggle, but the power of the divine spell far exceeded her will.
She could only watch helplessly as she drew closer and closer to those cold vertical pupils, tears of humiliation and fear, mixed with cold sweat, rolling down her pale cheeks.
Just as the Divine Emissary precisely controlled the female elf, the phantom formed by the male elf, seizing this fleeting gap, successfully rushed to the shadows at the edge of the plaza!
Without hesitation, he rapidly formed complex hand seals, uttering the final syllables:
"—Kar'ther!"
"Whoosh!"
A deep purple teleportation portal suddenly tore open before him!
The euphoria of survival flashed across his face, and he leaped in, more than half his body already swallowed by the distorted light and shadow—
But this was precisely the moment the Divine Emissary had been waiting for!
He swiftly determined the coordinates on the other side of the portal, raising his other front claw, and another six-ring divine spell silently activated:
Interdiction!
A barrier forbidding all spatial jumps forcefully unfolded over the portal, and the spatial structure instantly fractured!
"Crack—"
A subtle yet bone-chilling crisp sound!
The teleportation portal violently shrank under the impact of the Interdiction spell!
And the elf's body, half of it already gone to the other side, the other half remained here.
A terrifyingly smooth cut extended straight from the top of his head down to his crotch!
Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from the massive wound, instantly soaking the stone slabs beneath him!
The remaining half of the corpse in Ital'ruk convulsed violently, its eyes wide open, its face frozen in an extremely twisted expression of ecstasy and horror.
His lips slightly parted, as if wanting to utter a final curse or wail.
