Chapter 3305

This time was enough. During the period when the shields were breaking one after another, the ancient elven secret technique was woven into shape in Emilia's hands. This also incorporated the insights she gained from watching Xia De cast spells many times; she really liked watching Xia De's handsome sword-dancing appearance:

"Spell Reversal!"

The sword strike slashed out by the ancient evil spirit using an Angel-level magic sword was deflected upward, until it split the large ice sheet above the canyon, letting the warm sunshine that hadn't directly shone on this area for thousands of years spill down.

It just looked like it was already approaching dusk at this time.

Emilia and the unicorn Ellie also crashed into the ground with a "Boom" because of this, but just by relying on a Ninth-Ring level to catch an all-out strike from an ancient evil spirit barehanded, she had indeed become a myth of this era.

The pitch-black chains ejected upward, but this time the black figure just swung its sword and easily severed the chains; having learned from the last time, it would not let 【Sin】 attach itself to its body again.

"Ten more seconds—Sunfire Explosion!"

Centered on the demon in the air, a scorching ball of fire exploded with a roar. Immediately, a lightning spear shot into the center of the exploded fire, but the ink-colored sword mark in the firelight just swept toward the surroundings, and the firelight and thunder were swept away.

It naturally also noticed that many troublesome figures were approaching, and with a light flick of the great sword in its hand, it transformed back into eleven 【Sword-Progeny Hives】.

The Angel-level relic aimed at the four people below from high in the sky; the massive whisper elements resonated with the demon's power, and even the sunset at this moment became somewhat dim.

No longer swinging the sword, and certainly not firing any energy. The essence of the evil spirit demon assimilated the eleven magic swords, and then the sword rain transformed from the Angel-level relic's main body shot toward the four of Xia De from top to bottom.

At this moment, three of them chose almost identical defensive means at the same time.

Emilia was carried by the unicorn back to high altitude, Xia De's hand rested on her shoulder, and Miss Sabeier's hand on the side unexpectedly rested on Xia De's shoulder.

The Chosen One of Time no longer hid her true power. Although she did not grow up to enter her prime state, the life ring behind her had already turned into a dark golden clock face at this moment, and the three people in front of the clock face said that phrase simultaneously:

"Time Stop!"

Click~

The sound of clock hands turning came from the void, and thus the eleven flying swords were frozen in front of the castle, and even the demon felt a sudden trance.

And when it looked around again, the Thirteen-Ring Sorceress 【Sun Emblem】 Ms. Camille Eden with shimmering blonde hair, the Thirteen-Ring Sorceress 【Red Moon Witch】 Danister with long red hair flying in the wind, and the Thirteenth-Tier Earth Witch Vanessa Bernice wearing a moonlight ring had already surrounded it from three directions.

Behind these ladies floating with Thirteen-Ring life rings, the church's demon-extermination squad, witch followers, and even Sylvia and the twin-state Megan/Audrey were already prepared to cast spells.

Claire looked at the dark golden clock face behind Emilia, then looked at the colleagues who had suddenly appeared, feeling as if she had suddenly understood something incredible; although she had never seen a Chosen One, she also knew the uniqueness of the Chosen One;

And "Miss Sabeier" didn't care about the little elf whose identity she had already discovered. Her gaze passed over Danister Gustav and looked at "Earth," who should have been vacationing in Randall Valley, "Space," who should have been teaching the princess in Willendale, and "Wisdom," who had just parted ways with her yesterday claiming to be going back to her hometown to take a look:

"You guys actually had the guts to do this..."

The demon, of course, didn't know that several of the ladies around had such complex feelings. The moment it recovered from the time stop, the various miracles fired from above, below, and all around immediately submerged it in that brilliant light.

The crowd's miracle bombardment lasted for a full half-minute, and the storm formed by the twisting of powerful spirits and elements caused the ice layer around the large hole in the ice sheet above to peel off further.

Dong~

A distant bell sound came from the center of the miracle bombardment at this moment, and immediately a translucent brass-colored large bell appeared. The surging surface blocked all attacks, but the surface of the bronze bell was also showing cracks.

The black figure inside the bronze bell was unscathed. Before the bronze bell completely shattered, the darkness spreading from its feet to the surroundings announced the formation of the demon domain. The doctor had said this was a power similar to a Lost-Lock:

"Duel Domain, Rule: One-on-one duel!"

"Lost-Lock—Golden Stage Singing Glory!"

Vanessa, who had discussed the countermeasure with Xia De in advance, tried to use the Lost-Lock she unfolded to cover the demon's power, but unfortunately, as someone who had just entered the Thirteenth Tier, she could not suppress the essence of the evil spirit demon in its prime with the power of the Lost-Lock.

The Lost-Lock failed to unfold instead. After the bronze bell protecting the demon shattered, the attacks of the sorcerers just passed through the demon's body and failed to cause it any damage.

The only thing the demon blocked was Emilia's miracle; black shackles had already connected to Emilia's shadow. No one knew what thought it had to choose the little elf as the target of the duel... it probably had something to do with the unicorn.

The surrounding space did not change because of the demon's domain, but in this area in front of the castle, except for Emilia, no one could cause it any damage according to the rules.

Therefore, that thin black figure ignored the attacks of others present and rushed directly toward the little elf riding the unicorn at the highest point.

The eleven magic swords were not retrieved but shot toward the unicorn's belly and head a step ahead of it. But in the twisting space, Xia De's figure appeared beside Emilia, and he swung his lightning spear to deflect those long swords.

The demon waved its hand to take one of the swords and collided with the spiritual weapon—the lightning spear—in the air. The moment before it tried to control that spiritual weapon, Xia De immediately liberated his weapon:

"Miracle—Lightning Spear!"

The spiritual weapon transformed into bursting thunder. The unicorn neighed and carried Emilia to avoid the thunder ball exploding in the air. In the electric light, Xia De and the black figure flew toward the sides simultaneously.

Xia De looked like he was fine; the drop of Titan's blood gave him powerful lightning resistance, and this was him casting the spell himself, so he naturally had resistance.

And the demon clutched its right arm; it was injured in its own duel domain. Even if it was just a minor injury caused by lightning splash, it meant that Xia De was not affected by the domain.

It looked at the black ring on Xia De's finger:

"Hunter... whose help did you get?" (Demon language)

Xia De, of course, would not answer it. Instead, he asked a sentence in demon language that he had specifically asked the doctor to teach him:

"Black Hand-Tifron, you escaped from my hands last time; you wouldn't be wanting to escape again this time, would you?" (Demon language)

It spoke no more. With a point of the long sword in its hand, the ten magic swords flew toward Xia De.

Vanessa, who had already received Xia De's instructions through telepathy, reached out and pressed down. Under the influence of huge gravity, the height of the ten long swords dropped sharply, and the Earth Witch's voice reached everyone's ears:

"In the demon's duel domain, it only stipulates that it faces one enemy at a time, but this magic sword is not part of it; the magic sword-Sword-Progeny Hive itself is a life with a soul!"

Now everyone present understood. Continuous attacks flew toward the ten magic swords, and they were indeed affected by the sorcerers' attacks. The demon wanted to take them back temporarily, but the church's demon-extermination squad, which had made full preparations to face this ancient evil spirit, would not let this opportunity go.

The holy emblem of the True God 【Mr. Dawn】 and a complex ancient ritual appeared on the ice surface together. The "Light-Sealing Sword," blessed by divine rituals and the power of ancient demon hunters, was used by more than ten people together, half of whom had the "Hunter's Seal" familiar to Xia De on their fingers; they were truly professional.

Those ten magic swords, which were already falling toward the ground due to gravity, were immediately trapped within it. Except for the three Thirteenth-Ring ladies, Emilia, and Miss Sabeier, everyone else headed toward those magic swords.

Even if they couldn't attack the demon for the time being, leaving this dangerous Angel-level weapon behind today was also a merit.

The magic swords affected by the "Light-Sealing Sword" were not only unable to escape for the time being, but the resonance between the swords also temporarily disappeared.

This greatly reduced the pressure on Xia De, who was facing the demon. The power of the single magic sword held by the demon could not be considered standard Angel-level.

Pitch-black chains rustled and wrapped around Xia De's left and right palms, winding around his left and right arms. Xia De in the air transformed into a swarm of butterflies, and the crimson stream of light collided with the black stream of light turned into by the demon in the air with a roar.

More and more ice fragments from the broken ice layer above fell amidst the vibration of the collision, and at the center where black and red intertwined, Xia De's two hands, wrapped in chains, held the blade of the 【Sword-Progeny Hive】 firmly. The ends of the chains wanted to pierce toward the black figure in front, but were immediately blocked by the ghostly light emerging from its body surface.

It was indeed prepared for the 【Chains of Sin】, but that didn't matter. Xia De in the air expanded out of thin air, and the strength advantage brought by the increase in body size made the demon retreat in the air.

Thus, the demon also began to grow larger in the seven-colored light penetrating through the ice layer, and its strength immediately began to catch up to Xia De's.

At this moment, neither of them could retreat first. This was not only because of competitiveness, but also because whoever retreated first would be actively admitting that they had fallen into a disadvantage in this duel.

The naturally aggressive demon seemed to have its ferocity triggered by Xia De, and in just a few seconds, its body size exceeded Xia De's, but Xia De, who continued to grow, also caught up to its size.

People who did not join the battle to encircle the magic swords quickly scattered to the surroundings and then watched the two existences in the air grow larger and larger, until their feet stepped on the ice surface in front of the castle, and the height of the demon and Xia De was already almost the same as that ice castle nearby.

But at least Xia De was right at the beginning; such a spacious terrain in the canyon was indeed meant for a duel.
