Andrew said he would let Hoggoth take the lead, but in truth, he attacked as well. A Time Machine appeared in the sky, and as Andrew poured magic into it, Chthon's time froze.
Mechanical Ability constructed the Time Machine, while Technology Magic amplified its power. Together, they struck at Chthon.
Clearly, this was no probing attack. The five of them had joined forces to unleash a killing blow.
Balthazar, Veronica, and Maxim watched the battle within the Magic Array, clicking their tongues in amazement. Even their teacher Merlin might not have been a match for combat at this level.
"Boss is even stronger than I imagined."
Balthazar secretly sighed. As for the other mages, they could not see what was happening inside the prison. The three of them controlled the array cores, so they had slightly greater authority.
"These bastards are putting on quite a convincing act."
Chthon cursed and activated her ability, sacrificing everything she could sacrifice—including the hundreds of thousands of souls she had collected over nearly a year.
If she did not, Chthon would not even have a chance to fight back.
As Chthon carried out the sacrifice, vast amounts of black mist erupted from her body. The mist could even corrode time itself. Time Stop was shattered, and time in the surrounding area returned to normal.
Then, Chthon's body exploded, and the black mist fled in every direction. That was not all—each wisp of black mist formed a human face that wailed like a ghost. Everyone present, including Andrew and Hoggoth, felt a wave of dizziness strike their minds.
The dizziness caused their attacks to deviate somewhat. As a result, although they destroyed most of the black mist, some still managed to escape to the side.
The black mist then fused together and re-formed into Chthon.
