Its eyes burned with subterranean fire, casting a fierce, scorching glow. In its massive hands, it gripped a warhammer made of solidified lava, and every swing sent waves of heat through the air, accompanied by billowing smoke.Even more astonishing was that its aura had reached the level of a Second Level Creature!The battle began almost instantly.The Underground Demon Elder didn't bother with words. It swung its enormous lava warhammer at the trio with earth-shattering force. Molten lava dripped from the weapon, scorching the rock walls and leaving blackened marks wherever it passed."Be careful!" Victor shouted.He quickly raised the Magic Staff in his hand, and a thick earthen wall rose from the ground to block the incoming attack.However, the warhammer carried such terrifying kinetic energy and fiery power that it smashed straight through the earthen wall. Victor was forced to retreat awkwardly as the defensive magic he had cast began to waver.Lily seized the opportunity to c

The Blood Angel was about to finish his prayer and launch his attack when Victor, whose arm had been severed moments earlier, suddenly stumbled forward and dropped to his knees with a thud."Spare me! Please, great Angel, spare me! I'm willing to betray the Wizards and join the ranks of the Gods!" Victor cried, his face filled with terror and despair.He pleaded so rapidly that his words nearly ran together. "I'll provide you with all kinds of intelligence about the Wizards! Their weaknesses, their strongholds, everything! I'll tell you anything you want to know! I'm even willing to kill these two heretics to prove my loyalty. Just please, spare my life!"He looked utterly pathetic, as though the pain of losing his arm and the threat of imminent death had completely broken his will. His face was deathly pale from the pain and blood loss, making his desperate plea seem all the more convincing.Seeing this, the Blood Angel sneered. He intended to mock the pitiful defector a little longe

Finally, Rayn removed the Flying Rune and transformed the bracelet into an entirely different type of Talisman Witchcraft.He strapped the metal bracelet tightly around his left wrist and commanded inwardly, "Acceleration!"An invisible surge of energy flowed through the bracelet and entered his body.Instantly, Rayn felt as though someone had pressed a slow-motion button on the world around him. The Blood Angel's four rapidly beating wings became clearly visible, and he could distinguish the movement of every feather. Even the Divine Power circulating around the Angel seemed to slow down, moving as though trapped in thick syrup.The dust floating through the air appeared almost frozen, drifting at a speed he could now perceive with ease. Time itself seemed to stretch several times longer, granting him an extraordinary increase in perception and reaction speed.This was the Accelerating Talisman Witchcraft, developed through his research into the technology behind the Five Elements Ra

A sudden, violent tremor shook the sky.The heavens above the Lingyuan Plane seemed to split apart under the force of an invisible giant hand, revealing a deep crevice that stretched across the sky once more.Phantoms of the gods reappeared within the opening, surrounded by a sacred and majestic aura as they reached toward the depths of the plane's crevice.It was time for the second update of the rankings.The external Wizards had once again forcibly torn through the barrier surrounding the Lingyuan Plane!Feeling the disturbance in the sky and sensing the familiar, powerful aura of his Divine Spirit, the Blood Angel, who had been tense and anxious moments earlier, finally relaxed a little.He instinctively raised his head and looked toward the heavens. Under the watchful gaze of his god, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.Rayn was also startled by the sudden development, but he quickly recovered and paid no further attention to what was happening above. He had no time to waste

The medical facilities in the camp were remarkably efficient. Under the effects of sophisticated medical sorcery and a precious regeneration potion, Victor's arm, which had been blasted into ashes during the earlier battle, began to regenerate. New flesh formed rapidly as bones grew and connected, gradually restoring the missing limb.Within just a few minutes, a completely new arm had grown in its place. Although the skin was still somewhat tender, the regeneration had been successful.After another day of rest, Victor had recovered enough to prepare for battle again.However, when Rayn extended another invitation to join him, both Victor and Lily hesitated.The three sat beside a training ground on the outskirts of the camp, where sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves overhead, casting scattered shadows across the ground."Rayn," Victor began, his voice calm but unable to conceal the disappointment and bitterness he felt, "this battle has made everything clear to us. Your stre
