Chapter 2910: Lips and Teeth, Entering the Giant Screen

————Still about half an hour left~~

————

Thinking this, Xia Duo continued to increase the projection equivalent of the Annihilation Light. Soon, the blue Giant Screen, which had remained motionless, suddenly rippled at the point of contact with the Annihilation Light.

It was somewhat like a churning sea surface, or perhaps an inflating balloon, as if an earth-shattering change would occur the next moment. If Xia Duo's goal were merely to break through the Domain Protection, he would only need to continue increasing the output equivalent of the Annihilation Light.

But his goal was not violent destruction, because behind the Domain Protection was a Time-Involving Ritual that had already passed its first critical point; destroying it rashly might trigger unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, he still had to seek a safe means to disable the opponent's protection.

In terms of spell offense and defense, Xia Duo wouldn't say he had reached the pinnacle, but he was at least well-versed. The Annihilation Light provoked the Domain Protection into an unconventional state; in such a state, it was difficult for any spell to guarantee not revealing the slightest flaw.

Not to mention that Xia Duo already knew the relevant elements of the Domain Protection in advance. At this moment, supported by a Spirit Thought Network composed of high-specification Mages, he found the flaw in the protection almost in a breath and issued corresponding Spellcasting instructions within the action group's Spirit Thought Network.

At the same time, the Thought Robe on his left hand was still under his control, continuously projecting Annihilation Light toward the Giant Screen, and it was not limited to one position, but allowed to move across the surface of the Giant Screen.

Although Xia Duo had not yet fully parsed the 【Domain Protection】, based on the spell details he currently understood and the memory of the Diviner Pafen, he could roughly judge that this spell existed in at least two states.

Essentially, it was a matter of perception; the prerequisite for communication was the ability to locate, even if it was only Fuzzy Positioning. This, to a certain extent, made the interior of the Domain Protection almost an independent space.

One group asked whether this blue sky screen could be dismantled and advised Xia Shao not to take risks; this part of the Mages accounted for the vast majority.

This also proved from the side that the hard power possessed by the Demon Descendants, or the Darkness Society, was far inferior to the various Elf nations. If they were even slightly closer, they wouldn't be hiding like this, but would be calling for independent state-building or some other means.

But regardless, it also explained the formidable nature of this kind of spell.

If one had to wait, one could wait at most for about half an hour, but for the sake of stability, there was actually only two or three minutes of consideration time. After two or three minutes, the chance of successfully disrupting the Demon Descendant ritual would become smaller the further it went.

In fact, it wasn't just Xia Shao who thought this way; if it were the various Elf nations, they would all rather pay a certain price to have a decisive battle with the Demon Descendants and completely annihilate the other side; it was just that the Demon Descendants had always been hiding and unwilling to engage in direct combat.

Correspondingly, after more than two or three minutes, the willingness of these Elves to enter the Giant Screen would also become weaker and weaker.

If Xia Shao hadn't brought the Thought Robe or other War Spell Platforms this time, he probably really wouldn't have had a way to deal with this spell, at least he wouldn't have been able to resolve this spell before the Time-Involving Ritual inside was complete.

"Found a Teleportation Link. Does anyone have the guts to break into the Demon Descendant's Midian with me?"

"Even if it's a trap, there's no need to worry. As long as the Time-Involving Ritual inside stops, or if there is no Time-Involving Ritual, the rest will have nothing to do with the Demon Descendants."

When Xia Shao was traveling in the Main Plane with Niya before, he had stayed at the edge of the Plane for a long time and thought of countless ways, but none could break through that layer of boundary to enter the Nothingness Between, only able to project his Perception inside.

One state was a state of near-infinite expansion of space used for protection. This was somewhat similar to the Time Barrier that Xia Shao had once created by drawing on the Time Deceleration spell; both used pure time or space to defend against potential attacks.

The result was nothing!

In fact, Xia Shao even hoped that the Darkness Society would concentrate more power to set a trap, so that he could deal a major blow to the Darkness Society at once. Otherwise, the opposite side always hiding in the dark like a mouse was even more of a headache.

Hearing Xia Shao say this, different thoughts immediately came from the Spirit Thought Network, but they were roughly divided into three categories. One category politely expressed resistance, or even lost confidence in this mission.

Xia Shao was not worried that this was a trap. First, he didn't come as an avatar, and even if he were an avatar, he still carried the Thought Robe with him. This thing that looked like a Mage Robe or could change into gloves was essentially a War Spell Platform with complete functions.

So, next, it all depended on these two or three minutes. Xia Shao did not persuade them further, fearing it would be counterproductive. Anyway, he had already said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done; how these Elves chose was up to them.

Xia Shao speculated that either the Demon Descendants were short-handed, or this spell was not directly controlled by a Spellcaster but was deployed through a Magic Artifact.

Unless the Demon Descendants had gathered all their people inside the blue sky screen to set up a world-destroying trap, but even so, Xia Shao was confident he could retreat unscathed, and even take these companions of the action group with him.

But the reality was that he had brought the Thought Robe, and by disrupting the spell, he forced it to reveal more flaws. In fact, he still really hoped that there would be a Spellcaster on the Demon Descendant side presiding over this spell!

But that was under the condition that the Main Plane was undefended. At present, this Domain Protection spell was not a natural phenomenon, but a spell deliberately shaped by the Demon Descendants. Not only could various entities and spells not enter, but even communication was blocked—

Demon-born Secret Base was just a private, casual term; the official name should be Midian, and its leader was the Secret Hall Guardian under the Apostle of the Darkness Society.

"Everyone, the signal here has been gone for more than 4 minutes. Please make a decision as soon as possible on whether to follow me into the blue Giant Screen to disrupt the Demon Descendant's ritual."

The theoretical effect should be close to that state at the edge of the Plane. It was almost impossible to break through from inside the Plane to enter the Nothingness Between. (It can also be called part of the Plane Barrier; further out is pure void—the Ether Interlayer, the two transition smoothly.)

In a sense, this Domain Protection spell created a reverse Plane Barrier, placing the target that needed protection in the Nothingness Between.

"Could it be a trap?" an Elf asked.

And the other state was roughly the isolated state seen at present. Perhaps it could be regarded as an advanced mode of the former state, compressing the expanded space to make this part of the space look like a layer of curtain.

The remaining category, of course, was very direct. They were willing to lead Xia Shao into the blue sky screen, but this part of the Mages was also the fewest, only two high-level Mages who had participated in the Metier Incident before, and coincidentally, both were from Ilfaren.

"The Demon Descendant's protective spell is indeed difficult to dismantle directly at the moment, but if we solve the Demon Descendants performing the Time-Involving Ritual inside, then there is no need to worry. I have full confidence in bringing you back safely."

Of course, this was using the situation of the Main Plane as an analogy; in reality, the interior of the Domain Protection was not the state outside the Main Plane itself.
