Meanwhile, Deguro was lurking in the shadows, ready to strike with a lethal blow at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora appeared unaware of the danger and approached a massive tree stump in the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She soon noticed that the surrounding environment seemed… unusual. The area carried the residual energy of a fierce battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the dense vitality of the forest was a faint, disharmonious trace of curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora deduced that the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cult of Calamity's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>chosen participant must have been here before.

The dagger was about to strike when a crystalline shard of ice appeared behind Nora, intercepting the attack. The icy power exploded outward, freezing the dagger and the hand that held it in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew there'd be an ambush,\" Nora said calmly, turning to face her attacker. The icy shard from the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Field\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>floated protectively at her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shadows, a figure began to emerge, revealing himself: Deguro.

Everyone thought you specialized in necromancy, but your real strength lies in shadows,\" Nora remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else, they might have been caught off guard. But not Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to recognize me so quickly,\" Deguro said, his frozen hand turning into a shadowy mist.

Instantly, her icy shard scattered in all directions, freezing a massive shadowy fist that had appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Field's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ice shard was potent enough to freeze even shadows, illustrating the extreme focus of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5 Field's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, the frozen shadow fist dissipated, leaving only shattered ice on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freezing shadows? What a joke!\" Deguro sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows, by nature, were intangible. Only by imbuing them with power could they take form—whether as fists or something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a beast entirely made of shadows emerged in front of Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadows have no true form! Your ice is useless against me!\" Deguro's voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora's response was to pull out her harp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single stroke of her fingers across its strings, an invisible wave of power emanated from her, sweeping through the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deguro, hidden within the shadows, was instantly forced into visibility. His shadowy concealment had been disrupted, and the sonic attack caused visible damage to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His greatest advantage—his ability to meld into the shadows—was nullified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no way to hide, Deguro was forced into a direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning shadow beasts from the surrounding darkness, he sent them charging toward Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nora's expression remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She plucked her harp strings once more, unleashing a barrage of icy spikes from her shard, which froze the approaching beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, another wave of sound energy shattered the frozen forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deguro stood in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the shadow beasts he had summoned were completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, when frozen shadows could revert to their original form and regroup, these were utterly annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To summon more would now cost him a significant amount of energy—energy he no longer had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I've lost,\" Deguro muttered, lowering his head in resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unnoticed by everyone, a dagger embedded in a nearby tree began to drip with a faint, translucent liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The droplet fell silently, with no malice or killing intent to betray its presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And below, directly in its path, stood Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that drop landed on her, it would spell the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Fedrick's doing—a subtle and deadly curse, his\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rule-forged creation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the critical moment, Nora seemed to sense the danger. With a quick sidestep, she avoided the falling droplet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ice shard shot toward the tree, freezing it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The droplet froze mid-air, transforming into a green crystal before shattering on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a frozen crystal, the cursed droplet's power was evident: it drained the vitality from nearby plants and blackened the earth upon impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showcased the terrifying nature of Fedrick's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite its lethality, Nora had avoided it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined attacks of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deguro\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fedrick\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>left the spectators utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, despite this being their first collaboration, their tactics were flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using their mastery of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wood Field's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rule and their ambush setup, any intruder would have been caught in their trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fedrick, with his root network, could monitor every move within the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wood Field\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>, while Deguro lay hidden in the shadows, ready to strike with lethal precision.\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","50b544a363bde37acb50f573c3ebf50dbab6bf61c65a0d1101985f01bf975901","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-157","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-208",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
