Chapter 486: Dawn and Dusk

Chapter 476: Morning and Dusk

Diomedes didn’t leave Carl time to adjust.

The moment Karl froze, the time around him suddenly began to slow down.

The light closed in once again, and everything became dark. The tongues of fire that were gulping everything around them gradually decelerated and nearly solidified.

And the moment the flow of time around them was slowed down, a bright golden light shone in synchronization in Oswald’s pupils.

Like the morning sun, there was a hint of extremely light vermilion light in the white-gold color.

–High Divine Art – Sand Timer’s Acceleration!
The power from the Sand Timepiece came to me without prayer.

Not only was his speed not slowed down in Diomedes’ domain, it was even increased in turn.

Oswald appeared in front of Inferno in an instant and stopped instantly.

His fingertips were entwined with threads of light very similar to Diomides’. It was just that their colors were slightly different – Oswald was white, while Diomides’ was closer to a dim yellow. It was like the light emanating from two light bulbs with different color temperatures.

The light shone on him once again.

–Higher Divine Art – Silk of Gray!

The silk threads strengthened by the power of Grey Celestial Division transformed into sharp, sharp blades.

Oswald’s right hand was raised violently, and the sharp threads of light tore General Karl’s body apart!
It was like a glass-like blade or the claws and teeth of a beast.

The attack spread out and even sliced through the wall behind General Karl!

Carl was severely injured in just a moment of meeting.

But there was no blood erupting from within him. It was only accompanied by dazzling flashes of incandescent light, and a large number of golden-red sparks bursting outward like welding-

General Karl didn’t panic in the slightest either. He merely stifled a grunt as his pupils burned with a blazing fire, and the torn torso was glued together by the flames, only to have an even deeper scar added to it.

Shafia was silent, shaking the staff in her hand.

The silver-white triangle radiated an iridescent glow. Accompanied by clanking metal clashing sounds, countless silver-white chains emerged from the void, firmly binding General Karl’s entire body!
Just as Karl raised his right hand a little, he was trapped in place, unable to move. However, he did not panic in the slightest.

Only to see him standing still, those scars on the front of his body transformed into an eye full of malice.

–Ritual Spell, Eye of Malice!

If you look directly at it, you will be shocked by the intense malice and be fixed in place, unable to move.

In the next moment, fiery flames spewed out!

Like a volcano erupting, the golden-red magma accompanied by the purplish-red flames mixed with curses automatically counterattacked in the direction of Oswald’s previous attack!

The automatically counterattacking lava cannon instantly blasted a hole right through the Hall of Silver and Tin that had been reinforced by the Preservation Technique!
The walls didn’t even last a split second before they were shattered by the auto-reverse flames.

Extra stars of flame fell outside – the few sparks that landed on the grass ignited a purplish-red poisonous fire. These flames, like thorns and like snakes twisted like living creatures, spread rapidly, steaming with black smoke.

And more flames landed in the lake that was churning with earth-colored muddy water. A light yellow pungent steam rolled up immediately, emitting a loud, piercing sound.

This was completely different from the power of the flames that Carl had actively used.

The flames that he had mobilized on his own initiative were the flames drawn from the Inferno shell within his body and controlled by his reason.

–But when he was attacked and bled, it was the unchecked flame of the Inferno that was inspired by the brand of “rage”!

Ivars, who had a lot of experience in constructing abilities, could immediately tell that General Carl was a type that was particularly good at automatic counterattacks.

Unlike Phantom Demon Emma, Carl didn’t trust the demon inside him that much. The demon inside him was heavily sealed and suppressed, and only a small amount of power that could be withstood and restrained was exported.

And when a certain condition was reached, it was able to explode into full power under controlled conditions.

Apparently, the condition set by Karl was “to be wounded and to bleed”.

Since he and Inferno are not the same person, the Inferno in his body is able to constantly heal him. Relying on the strong life force given by the contracted Inferno, …… may have other characteristics that strengthen the path of survival.

That’s why he has the bottom of the group’s silence.

Because he himself is relying on the “passive ability” type of fighting, and the conditions for triggering the passive effect is only hit!

However, his incredibly powerful counterattack cannon fell short.

As soon as he was attacked and released from his stagnation, he was once again slowed down by Diomedes.

Oswald’s speed was so fast that his sight simply couldn’t keep up.

The moment that Eye of Malice opened, Oswald had already flashed to General Karl’s back.

He didn’t even look at Karl, and even had his back to him.

But at some point, General Karl’s body had been tightly entangled by five white threads. The ends of the threads were wrapped around Oswald’s tightly clenched hands. A red glow flared up again at the bottom of Oswald’s pupils.

–Higher Divine Art-Sunfire!
The moment the counter cannon was fired, the divine flames from the Hei Tianji ignited from within Oswald’s body, forming an invisible flame barrier around him. And the divine flames spread out from the center of his hand, igniting General Karl in the blink of an eye.

That sacred flame enveloped him, nourishing and searing his torso –

For General Karl, who possessed a high level of flame affinity, this was not quite a fatal injury.

And just then, Oswald suddenly turned back.

Within a second, all three High Divine Arts took effect.

He raised his hand and three points of light, bright yellow, gray, and gold-red, emerged. They connected together to form a triangle. And a white curtain of light condensed in the center.

The index finger of his right hand, which he extended forward, pointed right on top of the light curtain that had just been generated.

As if bounced off, the triangle of light instantly expanded and flew forward, right through General Karl, who had been slowed down again and whose body was burning with almost static flames.

The next moment the triangle of light penetrated General Karl, the flames on his body suddenly became intense. An invisible storm swept in, extinguishing all of those Inferno fires.

From the burning Karl, what seemed like an endless stream of white radiance burst out. In an instant, it pierced through the field of darkness summoned by Diomedes.

The speed that had been slowed down around them returned to normal in an instant.

But in the next moment, the entire world turned into nothingness, leaving only the pure and clean pure white field.

Oswald’s unusually swift speed suddenly returned to normal.

All of the gains that each person had put on themselves, and all of the reductions that they had applied to their enemies, all disappeared to zero within this pure white field. All of this imbalanced power was transformed into pure, clear, balanced power, which was condensed into the next strike.

Only to see Oswald vertically slash down with a simple, unadorned hand slash.

The hand blade that could easily tear through steel and rock did not touch Karl’s torso itself. Nor did threads of light well up from his fingertips – perhaps not. After all, in this pure white world, there was no “thread” to be seen.

But even so, the pure white world was perfectly divided into two halves.

When the pure white realm was sliced open, General Karl, who was in the center of the realm, did not have any power to resist, and was directly split into two halves!

–This was precisely the powerful strike that was bound to hit after being targeted by Oswald!
And that cold equalizing power directly destroyed the seal inside his body, making it impossible for his body to be healed.

It made General Karl look like a loose egg yolk cut by a thread……. After the “egg white” around him was cut, his whole body exploded into a mass of gelatinous flames, and the “scars” on his body surface twisted and spread, and his whole body was in a state of shock. The “scars” on the surface of the body twisted and spread, and the whole person gradually shattered and collapsed, almost melting into a flow of golden lava.

These two old men, alone, may not even be able to beat the “bone sculpture” kind of half-step death of the fifth level of energy. But if the two of them were to join forces, even an elite like Carl would find it difficult to fight.

After Shafia was banned, she could not use any powerful spells other than “Spell Counter” and “Forced Restraint”.

As for General Karl, the main counter-attacking general, the two guardian elves were basically the only ones attacking Karl silently.

It wasn’t just General Carl who was cut apart, even the red boundary in the sky was shattered as well.

But at that moment, a stronger sense of crisis appeared in the hearts of everyone present.

“Run!”

Shafiya was the first to react.

She, who had once again regained the ability to cast spells, did not hesitate to point her staff on top of the wall. The empty other hand reached out to the void in front of her.

It was as if she had groped for a certain node.

In the next moment, a blue-white runic light gate was generated.

“Run, Ivars!”

She maintained the portal and urged in a loud voice.

Oswald had just chopped out a full-strength blow, and his entire body was still in the midst of the backlash from the overload of Equilibrium Power. Aiwas pushed Diomedes, signaling him to hurry up and take Oswald, who was stagnant in place, and escape.

Aiwas also picked up Sherlock, who was still unconscious, and jumped into the portal.

Shafia landed in last place, having already seen the remains of General Karl begin to twist and burn.

The surging desire of “fury” continued to coalesce along with the roaring heat.

Without further hesitation, she withdrew the teleportation spell. In the instant before the portal twisted and disappeared, the whole person flew forward at full speed and crashed into it.

And then, the flames erupted.

From above the embers, the Inferno stood up-
