Never underestimate this Kingdom's Morning Star, who has fought alongside the strongest warrior in human history!
Chapter 279 The Last Trump Card, the Realm of Time!!!
"Time is running out for those demons. The magic matrix has been operating non-stop since the blessing, and no demon can cross this sacred barrier in a short time."
"The blessing of the hero is now complete," Ota said, his tone filled with excitement.
He didn't have high hopes for Shana's strength; the key was that the fact that "the hero completed the blessing" was enough to inspire the entire kingdom!
From the watchtower, Ota casually smiled as he looked out of the city:
"Now, even the Demon King can't..."
His gaze suddenly froze, and his pupils gradually widened.
As a close friend who had shared life and death with Mino, he was also a qualified warrior, with a sense of perception even more acute than his sight.
At that moment, without any distinction of order, standing on the observation platform, his senses suddenly activated, and his gaze easily spotted a graceful figure in a rose dress standing quietly alone on a hill a hundred meters away, like a flower.
“Rose…Shadow Fiend?!” Ota’s pupils dilated in shock.
The next moment, an unprecedented unease welled up in his heart. Without hesitation, he connected the communication link and urgently commanded:
"Warning!!! The First Demon, the Scribe of the Demon King's Castle, the Shadow Demon Kleidina, has appeared!!!"
"Mage Matrix, full power deployment!!!"
Swish-!
Without any hesitation, the countless mages surrounding the magician's tower, like stars, truly shone with a dazzling light, a sign of their magic burning wildly.
A huge, pale blue cube-shaped barrier materialized, transforming the entire area around the Mage's Round Tower into a forbidden zone that isolated any living beings and forces!
The barrier of magic, flowing with concentrated power and inscriptions, is a hundred times stronger than the barrier of divine prohibition and is extremely difficult to penetrate.
In return, when the magic power within these mages is completely exhausted, the magic matrix will also completely collapse, leaving behind only a pile of mages whose magic power has been completely drained, and the time limit is only ten minutes.
That's right, ten minutes.
This was Ota's decision. He only needed the magic matrix to operate at full power for another ten minutes, and the blessing of the hero would be more than enough.
“There is absolutely plenty of time!” Ota’s eyes gradually became calm and composed.
The appearance of the Rose Shadow Demon near the Mage's Round Tower is not a bad thing. It means that even she will be blocked outside the Mage's Round Tower for at least ten minutes!
The dust settles!
At this moment, Ota even had the exhilarating feeling of wanting to pop champagne on the spot, but years ago his best friend had already listed popping champagne and going back to his hometown to get married as taboos, although he didn't understand why.
However, on the watchtower, Ota was carefully observing the Shadow Fiend's location when his eyes suddenly froze.
"...gone?"
Ota's expression tensed up again. He was certain that his eyes had not left the Shadow Fiend that had appeared in the distance for a single moment, even when he was giving the order.
But the other person seemed to have completely disappeared from his sight in an instant, and the next moment there was no trace of the other person left in his retina.
"Where did she go? How did she disappear?!"
Ota immediately checked with the magician's matrix, but the result was the same: there was no sign of any magical infiltration.
"What's going on... that Shadow Fiend gave up? No, that's impossible."
Countless speculations flashed through Ota's mind, but his unease grew stronger. The devils' plot seemed to be more complicated than it appeared. If Pope Brad's tragedy were to repeat itself, the capital, and even the human kingdoms... would not be able to withstand any greater disaster!
"No! We absolutely cannot be careless!!!"
A sudden flash of determination crossed his eyes. Ota jumped down from the city wall, pressed a switch on the wall, and the ground rustled. Two well-equipped paladins emerged from what was originally a basement set up as a refuge: "Your Highness Ota!"
With a majestic look in his eyes, Ota entered the secret space. Under the awe-inspiring gazes of the two paladins, he lifted the red cloth covering the ancient objects in the basement.
This was his ultimate trump card to deal with those great demons.
The Sacred Round Table!
"Round Table, I need your guidance!"
Without any hesitation, Ota immediately activated the power that this supreme artifact of the kingdom had accumulated over the past month!
He asked urgently:
"Where are those demons who sought to wreak havoc on the kingdom and humanity now?!"
A hazy light suddenly projected into the basement, carrying the decisiveness and efficiency of a king—a map of the capital appeared before their eyes, with three dark points of light scattered outside three sections of the city wall.
"The demons that attacked from the other three city walls are all here, and there's also... a demon wandering in the void, which should be a backup plan in case we counterattack."
Ota's gaze swept quickly across the map, and soon it landed on the last dot: "That last demon should be the Shadow Fiend. She really is still at the East Gate... No!!!"
The next moment, Ota's calm gaze suddenly crumbled, his body trembled slightly, and he looked at the display in disbelief.
The shadow demon's point of light appeared in an absolutely impossible location, defying everyone's understanding... inside the city walls, at a circular marker.
Otta staggered and grabbed the round table for support, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"—That demon is now inside the Round Tower?!"
when? !
Ota's eyes were blank, then a flash of inspiration struck him, and a terrifying hypothesis suddenly popped into his head... the demons attacking in a scattered manner, the failure to stop the blessing from the beginning, the invisible infiltration...
An unprecedented alarm bell suddenly rang in his mind, and Otta left the basement as if in a frenzy, his voice urgent:
"Send rescue immediately!"
"Chief Lach is about to be assassinated!!!"
……
Kleidina was also surprised that when she entered the range of the human powerhouse's perception, she was greeted by the human king who was the most important to humanity.
For a moment, she even had the idea of changing her plans and assassinating the other party directly.
Kleidina quickly shook her head.
"Exceptional courage means having ample backup plans." Intense magical power emanated from her body like a waterfall, making her like a lighthouse, easily spotted by powerful human beings.
Even for her, this was a very dangerous thing in the human capital.
Then, in the next moment, she crushed the ultimate trump card of this plan, the terrifying creation of power belonging exclusively to Lady Mia.
"The Realm of Time".
A broken clock slipped from her fingertips, and at that moment, Kletina's magic was completely emptied.
Kleidina raised her head.
The prince of Ota was still watching him warily.
The resonance from the sky continued to descend.
The barrier of the Mage Matrix revolves around the Mage's Round Tower.
But it was all just a fleeting moment.
Time stood still—
Chapter 280 Time Stop Infiltration, Limit Breakthrough!
The world before my eyes seemed to have become a painting.
Only Clytena became the only color that could move in this static world.
“Although the activation of authority always comes at a price, Lady Mia’s authority is indeed more powerful than we imagined,” Kleinna exclaimed.
Unlike the time magic circle used to consume Minotaur, the creatures inside can move freely, but the flow of time within the time magic circle is accelerated by more than ten times... Within the Time Domain, her magic power was completely emptied, making her almost like an ordinary human.
However, there were still some differences. Kletina shook her body slightly and transformed into a dark shadow that swept across the ground.
Like a venomous snake winding through the night, it passed through the grass and trees, leaped through the gaps in the city wall, and finally arrived outside the magician's matrix. The shadow gently raised its "head" and lightly stabbed through the magic-filled shell.
"Without flowing magic, it's more like a wad of cotton. If it were just a shield made of mithril, I might be the one with a headache now."
Kleidina's body intertwined and took shape within the magic circle.
At this time, the remaining power of the Time Authority within his body was also nearly exhausted.
"The second time."
Kleidina looked up at the towering mage tower before her, a hint of emotion flickering in her cherry-pink eyes: "This is the second time in the last hundred years that I have borrowed Lady Mia's power... all because of that kingdom's morning star, and these heroes."
The power of time needs to be accumulated over time. Even after a thousand years, the remaining power is not much. Kletina is unwilling to use it unless it threatens the Demon King's castle and the Demon King.
"It should have been settled long ago."
The shadow beneath her feet writhed and peeled away, and Kletina fell to the ground like a black droplet of water.
Transforming into eight equal shadows, they seeped into the shadows of the magician's round tower, leaving behind Kletina's whispers on the empty ground:
"This will be the first time that the demons have... truly stepped into the sacred tower of humanity."
Time begins to flow.
Inside the round tower.
Eight shadowy figures climbed the steps to various parts of the round tower, silently entering the hidden magic stone storage room. The fragrance of roses gradually filled the air, outlining Kletina's rose-patterned dress.
"The shadow clones are in place everywhere, and the mana replenishment has been taken. The mana will be restored within a minute... The only thing left is the contamination of the divine power."
Kleidina glanced at the sacred magic stones piled on the energy transmission array in the storage room, and a slight smile finally appeared on her lips:
"I hope that holy archmage will like this gift I've brought—"
……
Altar for the consecration ceremony.
"It's going to explode! My body's going to explode!!!"
Shana is in a complete panic right now.
The dark power within her body seemed to grow endlessly with each ripple, completely filling the dark side of her body. Even the goddess mark, which served as the outlet, felt as if it was about to burst forth!
A strange flush rose to Shana's cheeks from the rapid beating of her heart. Every muscle in her body gradually tensed up, as if the dark power would leak out if she relaxed even slightly... just like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit.
