The Sunlight Sanctuary would ward off external evils, but it would not stop Dox from leaving.
Once Dox had shaken off the curse and returned to the peak of his strength, with even his inspiration talent reaching its utmost height, he stepped out from the sanctuary's protection once more. Though that all-over sense of comfort vanished, his confidence soared to its peak.
At that moment, Dox even felt that he could challenge Gray Merchant.
In truth, merely "challenging" Gray Merchant was certainly possible; whether he would win or lose in the end was another matter. Still, with Dox's inspiration talent strengthened across the board, he did have the faintest sliver of a chance if he truly fought Gray Merchant. Even if he lost, he would certainly last far longer than before.
After all, Gray Merchant's bloodline naturally restrained Dox's. One was an earth dragon, the other a sandworm. This degree of suppression could leave Dox unable to bring out even half his strength after activating his bloodline.
But Wicked Woman was different. Without bloodline suppression, and with his condition at its peak, Dox feared her not at all.
Swept along by countless stabbing swords, Dox charged straight at Wicked Woman.
"He came out of that barrier. Does that mean Lady Wicked Woman has a chance to win now?" On the other side, Fen Mo's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Dox leave the Sunlight Sanctuary.
In her mind, it was the appearance of that light barrier that had thrown a wrench into the battle. Otherwise, Lady Wicked Woman would have won long ago. Now that Dox had left the barrier, it was tantamount to cutting off his own retreat. Lady Wicked Woman should be able to win... right?
Gray Merchant pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
