The sandbox was like a safe.
Knowing the distribution map of the Magic Power Nodes that formed the foundation of the sandbox, as well as the operating rules of its magic circuits, was no different from knowing the safe's combination. After a brief adjustment, Colmar revealed the true form of the bluestone slab beneath her feet. Tiny starlight flickered in rising and falling patterns across the pale azure-gold stone, like a real Starry Sky, glittering brilliantly.
This time, she did not hesitate further.
Magic power flowed from her fingertips, sliding back and forth among the tiny points of light and tracing a complex star chart, directly opening a passage between the Sandbox Small World and the outside world.
However, the instant the passage opened, before she could transform into a streak of rainbow light and enter the Small World, a flash of black light lunged at her head-on. The violent, evil aura wrapped within it instantly forced the North District Archwizard back.
Boom!
The black light swelled in the wind, turning in moments into a Big Crow the size of a small elephant. Its scarlet eyes were wide open, its beak parted in a hoarse, dry shriek. When it spread its wings, they easily blotted out the sky overhead, plunging the entire street into deep gloom. Its claws gleamed black, sharp and swift; with every opening and closing motion, the small buildings on either side of the street, protected by the formation, were like tofu cut by steel blades, carved with bottomless gashes.
"Where did this monster come from?!"
Fei Rui clutched the witch's silver-white hair tightly and let out a piercing sonic blast. Transparent sound waves spun through the air like cannonballs before crashing heavily into the Big Crow, sending it tumbling backward.
Almost at the same time.
