We’ll never forgive anyone who hurts Semiris!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merkphis, we’ll definitely stop you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on, Semiris—we’re coming to rescue you soon......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up on the World Tree,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Semiris seemed to hear their calls and slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw her companions fighting desperately below, striving to free her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone is fighting for Semiris......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......Semiris has to try too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Semiris struggled, trying to break free from her bonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her power was completely sealed. Struggling with just her body was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Semiris, Hulim stood quietly in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to reach out to Semiris,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but couldn’t touch anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was a fixed past—unchangeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, she was merely an observer of memories. She could move freely and see everything, but none of it had anything to do with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had always been this way. Even if she acted on her own will, the direction of the memories never changed......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive beast tide led by Rank S Calamity Beasts easily blocked the Seven Sages’ attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was already covered with the bodies of low-rank Calamity Beasts, but they kept charging forward relentlessly. For Merkphis, these cheap lives served only one purpose: to waste the Seven Sages’ attacks with their deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many times do I have to say it? This is a futile struggle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merkphis stared coldly at the Seven Sages,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>spreading his hands to conjure a magic circle in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you think this Sacrificial ritual circle beneath your feet was just this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum——!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic circle covering the land blazed with an unprecedentedly intense red light. The ground seemed to be completely eroded by an ominous aura. Countless pitch-black tentacles erupted from the earth, lashing out at the Seven Sages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!? What is this thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pitch-black tentacles seemed to negate magic, piercing through their defensive barriers. The moment they touched their bodies, they bound them tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good—they’re absorbing our power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group frantically attacked the ominous pitch-black tentacles, but the tentacles were extremely resilient. Ordinary attacks barely affected them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they concentrated their power to destroy the ones in front, more surged forward—leaving their numbers untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation grew critical in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avery suddenly shouted to Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora understood immediately, unleashing one of her magics with all her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light, dispel them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling white light almost overwhelmed the red glow of the magic circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, useless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merkphis sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light faded, Aurora stared in disbelief. The pitch-black tentacles hadn’t been dispelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be——? Why isn’t it working?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merkphis laughed loudly in mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it won’t work. Did you really think I’d leave such a simple weakness?~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This circle beneath you now incorporates the power of the World Tree! And the World Tree’s power has no weaknesses!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Has the World Tree’s power been usurped by these things?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more tentacles swarmed the group. Coupled with the hordes of Calamity Beasts assisting, they gradually struggled to hold on, getting hit by the tentacles from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rate at which their internal power drained accelerated continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it—how can we be stopped by these things——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Seven Sages refused to give up, still fighting desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give up. At this point, no one can stop me~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merkphis sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give up......?\" Sylph shouted. \"You’re dreaming! Lady Terra will definitely stop you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Merkphis laughed as if he’d heard something hilarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Lady Terra will stop me? How ridiculous~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so funny! Someone like you, a circle like this—Lady Terra could destroy it all with one strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true~!\" Merkphis’s laughter gradually died down, but the amusement in his eyes remained. \"Lady Terra could indeed do that. But——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only if she knows what’s happening here! Haven’t you wondered why Lady Terra hasn’t appeared until now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Could it be that......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Merkphis suddenly pulled out a crystal ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly what you’re thinking~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be...... That’s Lady Terra’s magic tool! Why do you have it in your hands!? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why~? Because Lady Terra entrusted it to me to safeguard, of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merkphis stroked the crystal ball in his hand, a sickly, mad look appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should understand now~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without this magic tool, Lady Terra can’t sense the abnormality with the World Tree immediately. As long as I lure her to a place extremely far away, my greatest obstacle will be gone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the northernmost region of Himmler,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>on an endless icefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terra wandered slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was fixed firmly ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the horizon of the icefield, a black line surged toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beast tide composed of countless Calamity Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terra raised one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white wave of light spread across the entire icefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming beast tide collapsed in unison the moment it touched the light wave, then turned to ashes and dissipated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the beast tide was wiped out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terra’s brows remained furrowed. Her gaze was still locked on the depths of the icefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her figure reappeared, she was already at the innermost part of the icefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold here could freeze a creature’s blood in an instant. Even the air had condensed into ice crystals due to the extreme cold, covering the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in such an environment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a colossal beast shrouded in black mist resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist beast detected the figure approaching, and without hesitation, turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment it fled, a light wave spread out behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist beast was swept by the light wave and instantly turned to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Terra’s brows still didn’t relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at the icefield below, her gaze seemingly piercing through the thick layers of ice to the depths far beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down there, a black shadow sensed danger and immediately burrowed deeper into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the true form......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terra raised her right hand and clenched her fist toward the icefield below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire northernmost icefield trembled violently at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shadow fleeing frantically in the depths of the earth suddenly felt a powerful force seize its body. It began to rise uncontrollably upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In panic, it frantically extended countless tentacles, stabbing into the surrounding rocks to anchor itself firmly. While resisting the force, it struggled desperately to burrow into the mantle deeper beneath the rock layers......\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","cdcd3b91603fc5803e7592be4cad76f5d4bce88c44a6521da3713de791e5508f","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-270","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-268",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
