Hearing Ryze's dejected voice, Huo Yuhao showed no sign of giving up. Instead, he immediately assumed a casting stance.
He pressed the middle and index fingers of both hands together, then crossed them. The Eye of Agamotto on his chest opened, and the Radiance of Time shone forth.
Green light swirled. With each movement of his hands, a ring of time formed around Huo Yuhao's arm, its intricate runes woven together in a dense pattern.
Kaecilius, who was not far away, immediately noticed. His expression changed, and he charged over with his followers. A Dimensional Spear appeared in his hand, and he hurled it at Huo Yuhao. At the same time, he used Dark Dimension Power to upheave the ground and throw off Huo Yuhao's balance!
But just as the Dimensional Spear reached Huo Yuhao, about to pierce those shining Ling Mou eyes, a vast, soundless force spread outward. In an instant, everything came to a standstill!
Huo Yuhao's gaze was calm as still water. He slowly turned his arm, and time began to flow backward!
The translucent Dimensional Spear flew backward into Kaecilius's hand. The upheaved ground settled back into place, and the figures rushing toward Huo Yuhao shot backward at a bizarre speed.
Shrek Academy, reduced to ruins, along with all of Shrek City and the lands beyond, began to rumble! It was as if they had come alive!
The shattered bricks and stones became whole again. Collapsed buildings began to rebuild, and the hearts of the dead began to beat once more!
Huo Yuhao turned his arm and aimed the Green Array in his hand at Ryze beside him and the other mages behind him.
A group of them immediately convulsed in place like they were having seizures, leaving afterimages before breaking free of time's backward flow.
