He knew he was witnessing an extremely precious historical fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the image, Erica was crafting something, each of her movements precise to an awe-inspiring degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various rare materials flowed and fused in her hands as if they were alive, while the clock shadows precisely controlled the timing of each step in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron could see that she was forging the very pocket watch he held in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the crafting process was far more complex than imagined, requiring not only top-tier alchemy techniques but also a profound understanding of the laws of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The picture suddenly shifted, and Ron’s perspective came to a bizarre temporal fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, there was no fixed ground or sky; there were only numerous twisted time streams intertwined, forming a chaotic and dangerous hunting ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica stood in the center of this perilous area, surrounded by at least seven or eight time hounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They constantly shuttled between different time flows, launching attacks from different angles and temporal points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this... the time hounds’ lair?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron watched in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica was not fighting the time hounds in conventional space but had actively entered their home ground — the temporal fissure itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time hound launched an attack from the side, its maw darting toward Erica’s head like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just at the moment of impact, Erica’s figure suddenly vanished, appearing the next second behind the hound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time Jump?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron observed Erica’s techniques intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that she was not simply instantaneously moving but fine-tuning along the timeline, temporarily jumping out of the current moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second and third time hounds immediately joined the fray, with the encirclement from three directions putting Erica in a dangerous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her way of coping was even more astounding — she simultaneously released three spiritual shocks, hitting the three hounds respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three-Phase Shock Burst!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s eyes lit up; it was the advanced skill Uther had mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused intently on observing Erica’s casting process, trying to understand the mysteries within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key to Three-Phase Shock Burst was not simple consciousness splitting but learning to exist simultaneously at multiple temporal points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica, through a special time perception ability, anchored her consciousness at three temporal points — past, present, and future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she released spiritual shock at these three points, forming a continuous attack across time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attack method was almost impossible to defend against, as the target needed to repel impacts from three different times simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time hounds were clearly thrown off balance by this attack, but they quickly demonstrated the terrifying nature of group cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining hounds began to methodically adjust their attack rhythm, attempting to form an inescapable attack cycle through time reset cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica realized the danger, her expression becoming intensely focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands rapidly wove signs, and the surrounding time streams suddenly became thick, like the air turning into gel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time Anchoring!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron recognized the technique, precisely the magic Uther had mentioned that could confine the time hounds’ resetting ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the effect of Time Anchoring, the time hounds lost their greatest advantage, unable to reset their states anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica seized this opportunity to launch a truly meaningful slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her attack skills far surpassed Ron’s imagination, with each shock precisely hitting the time hound’s weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she seemed able to predict each hound’s movement trajectory, always responding optimally ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the strength of a top-tier combat wizard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was shaken in heart, the battle before his eyes granting him a direct understanding of higher realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica’s every move demonstrated perfect mastery over her power, with no waste; each attack was executed just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle quickly approached its end, most of the time hounds had already been defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the last one remained — the largest among them, presumably the so-called Hound King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hound King evidently realized the defeat was certain, beginning to unleash an ability Ron had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire temporal fissure started to shake violently, countless time fragments raining down like raindrops, each containing formidable twisting power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Erica did not panic; she slowly raised her right hand, revealing a beautiful silver pocket watch in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron suddenly understood; the pocket watch in Erica’s hand was the very one he now possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole hunt itself was to complete the final forging step of the pocket watch — integrating the Hound King’s time core into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the pocket watch activated, the surrounding time fragments converged upon it like rivers returning to the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hound King struggled desperately, but before the powerful time attraction of the pocket watch, its resistance seemed so futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pocket watch emitted a dazzling light, like a newly born star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica looked at the finished product in her hand with satisfaction, her eyes revealing the pride of a creator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at that moment, she suddenly lifted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her indigo eyes pierced through space-time, directly staring at Ron who was observing all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was extremely eerie as if she had long known that a future observer would study this experience through historical research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica’s lips slowly curved into a meaningful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile contained wisdom transcending time and a certain indescribable expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A curious little fellow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erica’s voice clearly entered Ron’s consciousness, despite the long river of time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being able to glimpse these memories, it seems you have already mastered quite good historical research techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her image began to blur, indicating the memory was about to end:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use it well, it’s the crystallization of my life’s work.
