Chapter 99

Jelal did not respond to Eruša and the others nearby.

His gaze locked onto Aizen Sōsuke as he roared loudly, his furious roar echoing through the heavens; immense magical power surged into a crimson column that shot toward the sky-blue column.

In the next instant, red and blue collided.

Boom!

Boom boom!

With the collision, everyone present clearly felt everything around them trembling.

The Gao Ta, previously reinforced by Xiao Nan's defensive talisman technique, began to crack piece by piece under the impact; seeing this, Xiao Nan furrowed her brow once more.

To prevent the battlefield from being destroyed, Xiao Nan could only expend vast amounts of chakra to repeatedly reinforce the Gao Ta.

Only because of the infinitely enduring energy core could the Gao Ta withstand this attack at all.

At this moment, Eruša and the others were utterly speechless.

Their field of vision was completely filled with red and blue light; they could only stare dumbly at the red and blue radiance, which seemed to move both swiftly and slowly.

This moment felt like it lasted for a long time, yet also like only a single instant.

"Boom!!!!!!"

The crimson light symbolizing Jelal's ultimate technique shattered violently.

The sky-blue light had barely been consumed at all, still surging forward toward Jelal's position with unrelenting residual force.

Jelal stared at his ultimate technique, which had shattered in an instant; his pupils widened slightly, his face filled with disbelief—he never imagined his strongest killing technique.

Starfall, whose power rivaled a meteor strike, had been shattered so easily.

Jelal opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found he could not produce a sound.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Just as everyone believed Jelal was doomed, an unprecedented cold voice suddenly rang out.

There, standing beside Xiao Nan, was a man with wine-red hair, dressed in the same black cloak with red clouds as Xiao Nan, his right hand outstretched.

An unimaginably terrifying repulsive force erupted, meeting the sky-blue column head-on.

"Boom!!!"

The seemingly indestructible sky-blue light exploded the moment it met the invisible repulsive force.

A circular explosion emitted terrifying, blinding Bai Guang, spreading with a heart-stopping force in all directions; wherever it passed, the ground was utterly overturned.

Eruša and the others were spared due to plot necessity—they were among the few live spectators, preserved by Aizen Sōsuke's binding technique.

Otherwise, even though Eruša and the others were the weakest among them, they were A-grade magicians—they would have been blown away or grievously wounded without question.
