Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Chapter 376: Perception and Understanding! (2/2)
But all struggles were futile, as the intangible force, like a sharp blade, pierced through the giant dragon’s scales and disregarded its formidable flesh. In a deafening roar, the body of the black dragon was forcefully torn into two halves, its blood mingling with dark breath, transforming into a rain of blood that fell across the vast land.
This scene shocked everyone!
The massive body of the dragon slowly fell, its terrifying impact causing the surrounding land to tremble, while the intangible force, having fulfilled its mission, quietly dissipated into nothingness.
“Ao!”
Prince Conrad couldn’t help but cry out in grief, his voice thunderous and earth-shaking, completely unable to comprehend why Fischer’s boy was so powerful.
Byrne, however, understood something instantly. So that was it; it was a power related to space, essentially an extension of his own “Instantaneous Transfer” and other spatial abilities.
“Not confined to the original use of power, making changes and extensions on an extremely fine level…”
“I can actually do so many things…”
“But it’s only in this state that I can perform these acts; otherwise, merely understanding them is meaningless.”
He had just used up most of his Spiritual Power in an instant, but Byrne quickly recovered within a few breaths, also clearly feeling his lifespan diminishing and his soul burning.
Prince Conrad frantically converted his spiritual power into life force. His magic word technique was made from the Power of Despair, which could not be used for restoration.
“I will not die!”
He was truly unable to comprehend what that red stone just now was, why an Extraordinary Exponent of low-level Monarch could suddenly become so powerful! Even more powerful than his brother, the King of Carnia!
Could it be some sort of forbidden rare artifact with a single-digit number?
But if one used that level of forbidden rare artifact, the user would surely die! Perhaps even suffer a fate worse than death, and his relatives and friends might also be afflicted!
And how could the Fischer family possibly possess a forbidden rare artifact with a single-digit number?
Suddenly, the Star Society’s Array acted again, and deep, boundless black clouds emerged in the sky. They seemed to rise silently from the Netherworld and were abruptly shoved into existence by an intangible force.
These black clouds were dense and thick, their edges very blurred, like the deepest ink of the night sky magnified infinitely, covering the sun and swallowing the original azure sky in an instant.
With the rapid approach of the black clouds, the light gradually dimmed, and the air was filled with an oppressive and dull atmosphere, making breathing heavy.
Eventually, the black clouds engulfed Byrne and the others, wrapping everyone in a dark, sealed world where the light was completely blocked, barely able to make out vague shapes and contours around them.
Moreover, these black clouds contained powerful evil forces, capable of eroding everything they touched. However, Byrne and the others were all protected by an invisible barrier.
That was an extended use of “Mirror Deflection.” Originally, it could only protect one side of extraordinary power, but now it allowed Byrne to successfully create a spherical protective mirror, covering several people nearby.
Although those black clouds had terrible corrosive properties, they lacked strong impact force and destructive power. The “mirror” actually didn’t have very strong protective power, but it completely isolated them.
In the darkness, Byrne could still perceive everything clearly, once again pulled the invisible threads, and with an extension of “Deconstructive Perspective” and “Speed Sketching,” he drew a flaw on the Array that trapped them out of thin air with his fingertips.
The Wordless Elder continuously watched from a distance, sensing the positions of Aldrich and Zayne. Subsequently, his body vanished like a specter, voluntarily heading to confront those two.
“Byrne Fischer… Is that the Philosopher’s Stone…?”
Left alone, Black Starlight spoke in a low tone, having performed a prayer ritual once again, quickly condensing a dense mass of dark energy in his palm, transforming into a terrifying black meteor that rapidly struck Byrne inside the black clouds!
It was an almost certain and deadly strike!
Seeing the Wordless Elder leave, Ariel, planning to again summon starlight for a long-range bombardment, couldn’t help but shout when she saw this scene.
“Byrne!”
She recalled Amos, who had just been killed, and her heart was very uneasy, unsure if Byrne would end up with the same fate.
Chris remained expressionless. He almost lacked the ability for long-range combat, trapped in the Array he could only build up and observe, always waiting for an opportunity.
However, a surprising scene occurred!
The struck Byrne’s body immediately shattered, but it quickly dissolved into light points and disappeared.
That was actually a “Byrne” stacked with “Body Double” and “Summoning Ancient Projection,” while the real Byrne, having swapped places, left the Array with Chris and Ariel through “Instantaneous Transfer.”
“War… Link!”
Arriving in the air outside, Byrne took a deep breath, quickly raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers at the six members of the Stars Embrace Order.
“Shua!”
A visible yet immaterial chain emerged from Isabel of the Stars Embrace Order, and one after another, it linked all six Monarch powerful experts of the Stars Embrace Order together!
