But this could not go on forever. Pumiluoxius drew a deep breath inside the crystal coffin.
Bang!
Suddenly, Pumiluoxius kicked the crystal coffin lid open. After the lid flew several hundred meters away, the nearly solidified elemental power within the coffin erupted in a piercing sonic boom, pouring forth in a torrential surge. Then Pumiluoxius's perfect three-meter-tall body stepped out in a single stride!
His slow, elegant movements did not diminish his domineering majesty. Amid Green and Little Eight's astonishment, Pumiluoxius said in a low voice, "I still have more than a dozen projections like this. Since my opponent is the King of Wizards, losing one for the Demon-Hunting Expedition plan is no great pity!"
As he spoke, Pumiluoxius extended his left palm and swept it aside.
After a burst of spacetime distortion, Pumiluoxius folded space as though it were a sheet of paper. The arcs of electricity that had not originally connected were brought together in pairs under his control of spacetime, colliding and canceling each other out. Green's crisis was effortlessly dissolved.
This showed that compared with pursuing sheer attacking force, pursuing the rules was the supreme choice.
Pumiluoxius's right hand, meanwhile, shot forward.
An unimaginable distortion occurred between the spacetime before him and Green. Ignoring the spacetime separating them, his arm seemed to enter a spatial tunnel, his palm appearing before Green out of thin air.
Even Green's Face of Truth could not accurately foresee it. That flawless arm cut through layer upon layer of force ripples, tearing apart Green's protective Wizard Shield as though it were paper. Its skin was also ripped apart and melted away, exposing the half-biological, half-mechanical structure beneath.
With a puff, the powerful arm seized Green by the throat.
"Fuck!"
Little Eight shrieked, having never expected Pumiluoxius's attack to be so startlingly
