"Fire all the shells—give them a little treat!" A disdainful smile played on Battle Empress Dimaria's lips as she raised a hand and gave the order. Her voice was crisp and cold, as if carrying endless mockery.
"Yes!!"
Upon receiving the order, the subordinates dared not delay in the slightest and immediately began operating the weapon system.
In the blink of an eye, countless missiles rained down on the people of the two unions.
Faced with this sudden attack, Kagura's expression changed slightly, but she did not panic.
"Gravity Slash - Flash Combo"
She snorted coldly, and with a sudden swing of her longsword, the blade flashed with a dazzling light.
Accompanied by light, her accumulated gravitational force swept towards the barrage of shells like a whirlwind.
In an instant, those originally ferocious shells seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, speeding back in the direction they came from at an astonishing speed.
Rumble~
Ah~
The deafening roar of exploding shells mingled with the screams of soldiers on the warships, creating a scene of utter chaos.
Battle Empress Dimaria frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on Kagura, silently pondering, "Gravity Magic, accumulating all power in the scabbard, and then releasing it all in an instant..."
"Nice technique!"
She murmured to herself, a glint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, she finally understood why she hadn't sensed anything unusual until Kagura swung that sword.
This discovery intrigued Battle Empress Dimaria, who couldn't help but smile slyly, muttering to herself, "Interesting, very interesting. Looks like I've found some very amusing prey."
Just then, Kagura's body jerked violently, and she instinctively slashed the sword in her hand backward with all her might.
A series of sharp, clanging metallic sounds rang out.
Kagura looked utterly astonished, because for a brief moment, she felt as if she had been frozen in place.
Moreover, she was certain that there was no one behind her originally.
"Wow, you reacted really fast!"
"The outfit is quite nice too~" Dimaria stood not far from Kagura, looking her up and down at her clothes, a hint of admiration in her eyes.
However, the next moment
Dimaria's expression changed, her gaze sharpened, and she coldly said, "Let me use my blood to set the scene!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful Magic Power instantly enveloped the entire area.
The entire space immediately became gloomy and oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.
This powerful Magic Power caused everyone on the battlefield to stop what they were doing and turn to look in the direction where Dimaria was.
Lyon, Sherria, and the others engaged in fierce combat were no exception; their faces all wore solemn expressions.
The oppressive feeling brought by this Magic Power made them feel suffocated and terrified, as if they were being suppressed by an invisible force and unable to move.
They had felt this Magic Power from Zorn before, but back then it carried a hint of warmth; now, only a chilling killing intent remained.
Kagura's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. He gripped the knife tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
However, they were not intimidated by this pressure; instead, it ignited their indomitable fighting spirit.
Kagura's Magic Power erupted instantly, like a powerful storm that distorted the surrounding air and created its own space.
Dimaria looked at Kagura with a greedy glint in her eyes; she seemed to have developed a strong interest in the girl.
A slight smirk played on her lips. "Oh, not bad. Looks like bullying you will be quite fun."
Kagura's gaze was firm and unyielding as he met Dimaria's provocation without flinching.
However, at that moment, time seemed to suddenly freeze.
Kagura's body stiffened, and his gaze froze for a moment, as if he had lost all vitality.
Dimaria smiled smugly as she slowly approached Kagura, the knife in her hand gleaming coldly.
His movements were elegant and composed, as if he were savoring the moment of victory.
Just as her knife was about to pierce Kagura's clothes, suddenly, a crystal ball flew over and smashed hard into Dimaria.
With a loud bang, Dimaria was sent flying backward by the crystal ball, crashing heavily to the ground. Her face showed shock and anger; she hadn't expected anyone to dare interrupt her.
"Luckily we arrived in time~" Ultear's voice suddenly rang out from the side, a smug smile on her face, holding a crystal ball in her hand that emitted a mysterious light.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless crystal balls scattered like fireworks, filling the entire space in an instant.
These crystal balls danced in the air like dazzling stars, instantly breaking through the space shrouded by the Time Wall.
"Huh? What's wrong!" Kagura snapped back to reality, blinked, and looked around blankly.
As she looked around, she saw Dimaria, who had angrily stood up from the ground.
Dimaria's face was contorted with rage, her eyes flashing with fury, as if she were about to explode at any moment.
Behind Dimaria, Ultear stood steadily, holding a crystal ball.
Her gaze was firm and confident. And in mid-air, there was an adorable little cat— Carla.
"Thank goodness, we made it in time!" Carla said with a sigh of relief.
"Are you all alright?" Wendy ran over from the side, her face full of concern.
It turned out that, in order to get here as quickly as possible, Ultear had Carla bring Wendy to fly over first to ensure they could provide timely support.
However, all of this enraged Dimaria.
She was already furious because Ultear had destroyed the Time Wall, and now seeing Ultear and the others arrive only fueled her anger.
She gritted her teeth and said, "You're asking for it!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Fiore East
"Yo~" God Serena's lips curled up slightly, letting out a contemptuous laugh. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the Three Heavenly Kings and Jura who were blocking his way with a mocking expression.
They greeted them with an undisguisedly defiant tone.
This move caused Wolfheim, ranked third in the Ten Wizard Saints, to frown.
He gritted his teeth in anger and couldn't help but curse, "Traitorous bastard, stop being so arrogant!" His eyes flashed with rage; if looks could kill, God Serena would have been Yomi long ago.
However, God Serena remained unperturbed by Wolfheim's insults, instead responding with a smile, "Don't say that. I've come to see you all, haven't I? After all, we're old acquaintances!"
He swung his arms casually, displaying a relaxed and carefree attitude, but the cold glint in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.
Just then, Hyberion suddenly spoke, his red eyes fixed on God Serena, his pupils contracting like thin lines, revealing a strong killing intent.
His voice was low and cold as he questioned, "Why defile this land that nurtured us, God Serena!" His words seemed to carry endless resentment, conveying the anger and discontent deep within him.
Upon hearing Hyberion's question, the smile on the face of the God Serena gradually disappeared, replaced by an icy expression.
An aura erupted instantly, and powerful Magic Power swept in like a whirlwind, making the surrounding air seem heavy.
He replied in a cold tone, "Not bad eye!"
At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense, and a fierce battle was about to unfold.
God Serena glanced at the group and said dismissively, "But you guys are far from good enough."
"This is Selene, the God of Magic, ranked first among the Ten Wizard Saints. Truly extraordinary!"
Jura finally understood why the top four were called the Four Heavenly Kings; their Magic Power was beyond measure.
The mere outward display of his aura startled him.
"Has the Magic Power increased this much?" Wolfheim's eyes flashed; it exceeded his expectations.
"Let me see if you've improved!" God Serena sneered.
He slammed his hands on the ground and shouted:
"The Cave Dragon's Earth Shatter's!"
"The Purgatory Dragon's Blazing Hell!"
Instantly, red and green Magic Power surged forth from the earth, causing it to tremble violently.
The four people were instantly thrown into the air.
Jura, who possessed rock Magic, was also utterly shocked. "What! Earth-based Dragon Slayer Magic!"
"Rock Spike Hell!" Jura clapped his hands, and the earth responded to his Magic.
Countless rock spikes suddenly shot up from the ground, forcing the God Serena to jump away to avoid the attack, but this interrupted Selene's Magic.
"Well done!"
"Looks like I've arrived just in time!"
Gildarts wore a cloak, his orange-red hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his thick beard covered his chin, but his eyes were bright and piercing.
He strode towards us.
He received Zorn's war notice while on his way to the next mission location, so he rushed over immediately.
