The wall hadn’t been broken by them—it had suddenly crumbled on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they pondered, the shattered wall underwent another transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of falling to the ground, the broken rock fragments began to deform, turning into sharp rhombus-shaped stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three paled drastically, scrambling to defend themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could fully react, the sky full of rhombus-shaped rocks shot out in all directions like cannonballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bearing the brunt was the nearby attribute-less Rank B Powerhouse. The rock cannonballs pummeled his body, sending him flying back the way he’d come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boguna conjured a flame barrier to block the onslaught, but due to elemental incompatibility, his shield flickered unsteadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the remaining Earth Mage fared slightly better......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the hailstorm of rock cannonballs subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire hall was unrecognizable—its walls pockmarked with craters, and the dome above reduced to a sieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the battered building could no longer hold on, and large-scale collapse began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collapsing structure kicked up a thick cloud of dust, engulfing the entire area......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn her——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boguna climbed out of the rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, use the backup plan! We must take her down here!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two emerged from the debris. The Earth Mage was relatively unharmed, but the attribute-less leader was covered in dust and injured. His eyes glowed red with rage as he stared at Hulim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard! Bastard!

He crushed the cap, ignoring the shards of glass, and gulped down the potion inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, his body began to mutate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uaaaaaaaaah——!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body swelled abnormally, tearing his clothes apart.

Their transformations weren’t as complete as Morga’s—they still retained their human forms for the most part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the use of such a similar technique suggested a connection between them, didn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you with Gulos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim voiced her suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right!

At the tip of the water column, a figure could be seen......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful battle aura drew closer, eventually reaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?
