Whoosh!
Suddenly.
A figure, its light and shadow twisting, flashed toward them.
By the standards of higher lifeforms, Reilo wasn't particularly fast—in fact, he was rather clumsy. But to lower lifeforms, he moved like a blur. By the time the three of them reacted, the figure had already crossed the thousand meters between them and appeared near the White-robed Phantom.
Roar!
The human-head lantern of the Fire Fox Master struck back at once.
It took the form of a lifelike fiery serpent, blazing with incredible heat as it shot toward them.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
As the serpent entered the distorted light and shadow surrounding the figure, it was affected as well. Its speed plummeted, and it lost its ballistic force. Gradually, it turned into a vortex, drawn toward the black sphere at the tip of the figure's index finger.
Pfft!
As for the newly born knight's head, it tried to charge in with sheer force, but the moment it touched the pitch-black sphere, the Singularity Technique destroyed its structure, twisted it to pieces, and sucked it inside without a trace.
"Level 3 Singularity Technique."
A Level 3 Singularity Technique was more than enough to deal with a creature of this caliber.
The black singularity wasn't particularly fast, and the White-robed Phantom could clearly have evaded it. But the tremendous gravitational pull trapped it as if it were mired in mud, leaving it to watch helplessly as the black sphere inexorably drew closer.
Unlike the White-robed Phantom, which had been plunged into immediate peril, the Fallen Bone Centipede hadn't sensed the figure's strength. The Gravity Law's power was subtle, and it assumed the figure was simply a human scholar who excelled at speed. It grinned coldly.
It undulated forward like a slithering snake.
Poison coiled around its body as hundreds
