The instant that icy declaration, steeped in murderous hatred, fell, the magic power throughout the study boiled!
Cui Ciyou had no time to react before he saw "Roxy," who had come from the future, unleash a magical bombardment worthy of being called a work of art, with speed and precision he could not begin to comprehend.
