Chapter 2889: Dragon-Blooded Treant and Time Miasma

"The scene now reminds me of what happened during the Battle of Moon Bay this summer. At that time, it seemed like anyone could win a resurrection match."

On the deck of the floating giant ship in the distance, everyone looked at Xia De, who was speaking, while Xia De turned to look at the elf with pointed ears, who said very affirmatively:

"At least when we saw her last time, she relied on sublimation words to sneak attack but still lost to us. I am very sure of this point."

"Can you still obtain new qualifications after losing?"

"Luweiya's qualification was transferred to Emilia, so others might... The rules of the Time War seem to only say that non-candidates who have obtained qualifications cannot use them? It didn't say that original candidates cannot obtain new qualifications... However, the traces of leaf patterns on the back of her hand seem to be not as dense as I imagined."

Not only the people on the ship, but the church of course also recognized what those traces were. The woman who raised her right hand high did not explain how she obtained the qualifications again, but declared loudly:

"Yuri Aston of the Nature Church, in the name of holy time, I want to challenge you to a fair duel."

The "Blade of the Firmament" in the high sky flew in front of her and the dragon, but this time the Paladin was not riding his griffin:

"I am his assistant, where is your assistant? That halfling killer?"

He didn't agree immediately, so the "Clockmaker" put away her right hand and stepped on the dragon head of the dragon beast that was suppressing its anger:

"The seniors of the sect have returned to their own time. This time my helper is it!"

The space on both sides of the dragon beast shattered with the sound of glass breaking, and then two black dragon beasts from the past space bit toward the "Blade of the Firmament," who was also from the past, from left and right.

At the moment of contact, they disappeared into the air like bubbles. Then the "Clockmaker" soared into the sky, and several golden flashes hit her body, but these attacks from thirteenth-tier warlocks seemed to have no effect.

The life ring behind her and the leaf pattern on the back of her hand bloomed with light at the same time. Although she was only a newcomer to the thirteenth tier, the power of the tree made her stronger than imagined. The power of time was originally the most difficult power to resist. The life ring rotating behind her almost turned into a brass-colored dial, and the power of retrograde and static time was driving away those powers that did not belong to time.

But she didn't really think that she could beat so many thirteenth-tier warlocks by herself. While the crystal dragon was pouncing on her, the "Haste Spell" state of her broke through the blockade against the dragon beast by the "Behemoth Hunter" like a cannonball and flew toward the direction of Weisi City.

"She is going to find Yuri Aston!"

People who chased after her dodged hurriedly, but the female warlock flying at high speed turned around and threw a emerald green light toward the rear.

People who chased after her dodged hurriedly, but the light flew straight toward the dragon beast. When the light entered the pitch-black monster's body, amidst the tragic screams that almost shook the clouds above, a huge brown tree trunk grew out, piercing through its body, as if its body had been strung on that giant wood.

The wood and the deformed flesh of the dragon beast grew together, because the tree trunk clearly still had vitality.

Even if it was extravagant, no one would use the World Tree as a coffin, so the body of the dragon beast, which was already incomparably huge, expanded again, until the flesh completely wrapped the wood, and its original pitch-black eyes were also dyed with a touch of emerald green.

At this moment, the volume of this monster flying in the sky was enough to be called "covering the sky and blocking the sun." Its claws waved toward the ground, and those trees that had been stained with dragon blood and were on fire pulled out their tree roots under its command.

Dragon-blooded treants, this kind of blasphemous creature that could never appear, revived in large numbers in the forest, and then launched a fierce battle with the ritual team in the forest.

Roar!

The crystal dragon spat out white crystalline breath at it from above the dragon beast, but the black dragon raised its head and spat out a frost-white mist, forcing this thousand-year-old dragon to dodge.

It became even more terrifying. Besides the spiritual pressure that made high-tier warlocks unable to breathe at a glance, the huge body represented not slow movements, but stronger spellcasting ability and stronger physical fitness.

The dragon's lungs contracted and expanded, so the pitch-black lightning spat out shattered the wonder blockade of the "Behemoth Hunter" with one blow.

While golden light fell like raindrops in the night sky, the church crowd still wanted to counterattack, but the dragon emitted a deadly black light all over its body at this moment.

The light surrounded its body. At the moment when the accumulation of spirit reached its limit, from the gaps in its scales, thousands of black light beams erupted from the sky toward all directions.

The night sky, the earth, and even the Radiant Messenger floating in the distance encountered attacks, so the clouds shattered, and one fire after another lit up in the forest after the explosion.

The light containing the power of time was almost irresistible. Ordinary ring warlocks would age and decay irreversibly as long as they were hit by the light beam. Even the thirteenth-tier warlocks could only struggle to resist the effects of those pitch-black light beams, but fortunately, Miss Yilaise raised her hand to make a transparent shield appear around the ship, and that light beam could not penetrate the ship girl's shield.

"This is the power of decaying time."

She said to Xia De with particular worry. Xia De nodded and was about to say that he wanted to borrow Little Liana, when he looked up at the sky again, watching large pieces of "snowflakes" falling from the depths of the deep night sky.

"Is it snowing?"

The witches also looked up after the fact, but the countess of Moon Bay immediately realized that this was not snow:

"Miss Yilaise, can you continue to support the shield? These things are not normal."

The spherical shield rose around the deck. Although they hadn't touched it yet, Xia De had already recognized what this was:

"I have seen similar things in the Ash Valley."

"Is it a manifestation of space-time collapse?"

The elf said in a low voice, but Xia De shook his head:

"The situation is not that bad yet. The Ash Valley has truly reached its end, but the current material world is not that bad... What kind of power does that dragon beast have?"

"Xia De, should we stay here or retreat? The barrier of time is rising."

Miss Yilaise reminded again. Xia De then looked in the direction of the stern of the ship along her finger. The thick fog was forming a fog wall in the "snowflakes." The fog wall today was not thick enough, and the scenery behind the fog wall could still be seen through, but that was not the forest sea under the moon in early winter, but the forest in the midsummer season in a rainstorm.

Some kind of power seemed to be dividing this chaotic battlefield from the normal time and space. This power was so strong that even Xia De couldn't find the source. So now, either leave here while the time barrier has not yet formed, or stay and find a way to leave after defeating that monster.

And the result of forcibly breaking through these fog walls is probably breaking into an unknown time and space. Everyone already knew the consequences when the "Illusion Dream Tree" invaded the city last week.

"The teleportation gate I established is becoming unstable."

Xierweiya, who sensed the change in space, also said:

"Probably in a while, even the teleportation gate won't be usable."

Xia De looked at everyone on the deck:

"Luweiya, Xierweiya, Xiwei, Miss Dannisite, you return to the inn. Something big will probably happen in the city too.

Bella, Granny Cassandra, Vannisha, Flora, Miss Jia Lin Na, Duoluoxi, you stay. Miss Yilaise, the big ship stays here, I'm afraid I'll need to use this ship in a while."

Both sides have diviners, and both sides have girls who are good at space ability, but most of the combat power is still left by Xia De on the ship.

So everyone acted quickly. Luweiya hugged Xia De before leaving. She originally wanted to take the little princess away, but the latter looked at the elf standing on the deck, and Duoluoxi didn't object, so she stayed.

The decaying time rays emitted by the dragon beast caused quite a lot of trouble for the church team on the ground, but while reorganizing the team to prepare for a counterattack, the ring warlocks of the church also saw the fog walls taking shape all around.

After the "Illusion Dream Tree" incident, everyone knew what this was, so the professors of the academy who were hiding in the forest took action to be responsible for temporarily blocking that dragon, and the church team was also splitting up. They already had a plan to deal with the split battlefield before taking action.

But that dragon beast would not give anyone a chance to breathe. The violent spirit and elements were drawn by it. No one knew what that green light

The burning Dragon-Blooded Tree People were charging in large numbers toward the ritual formation on the ground, so the Church's reserve team, acting as the secondary plan, flew up from the woods to cover the retreat of some of the people.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na held the dark gold scales in her hands, attempting to stabilize time again, but found it completely useless.

Everyone is equal under time. The pitch-black monster, which seemed to have entered a "Haste Spell" state itself, swung its tail to strike away the Crystal Dragon that had attempted a sneak attack, then immediately sprayed thick white fog at the glowing "little bug," Yin Yi Yi Lu Na.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's heterochromatic eyes flashed brightly. That white fog paused for a second as if it had solidified, giving her the chance to dodge from the side.

Then, a torrent of spell attacks, resembling a volcanic eruption, bombarded the back of the dragon beast from the clouds above that were about to dissipate completely. But this time, without the ritual to stabilize the power of time, most of the attacks had no effect at all.

It raised its head to spray again toward the sky, but just at this moment—

Boom!

The main cannon on the deck of the *Radiant Messenger* charged up. The sea-blue stream of light displayed a particle effect, leaving a long-lasting trail under the deep night sky, and hit the huge dragon beast's body with a single shot.
