The Scroll

The Flame Demon Phantasm swung one hand, and meteors formed one after another in the sky, each transformed from flame.

As the meteors fell, they passed through a magic array, and their descent speed abruptly increased dramatically.

Silver flames illuminated the surroundings, carrying fierce winds that scattered the rain around them.

Facing several enormous meteors, Diarmuid showed no intention of defending himself.

Instead, he simply continued waving the brush in his hand.

Wherever the brush passed, ink remained suspended in midair.

It was at that moment that the meteors came crashing down.

There was no shockwave, no explosion, and not even a sound.

Like a red-hot sword, they vanished without a trace.

In the scroll beneath Diarmuid's feet, several meteors appeared.

The explosion that should have taken place in the Material World occurred within the scroll instead.

The mountains in the ink-wash painting were blasted apart by the meteors, flames burning across them.

Yet no matter how much damage was inflicted upon the painting, it did not affect the Material World in the slightest.

Chen Yi fell into thought at the sight.

The scroll should have been a space-system treasure, and it worked remarkably well with Diarmuid's abilities.

When Chen Yi had fought Diarmuid on the Tech Side before, Diarmuid had needed to keep spreading ink in order to erode the surrounding space.

Once the erosion of an area formed a closed loop, that region became Diarmuid's domain.

If Chen Yi did not enter the scroll, all attacks
