Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a string of explosions.

In the forest, Osiris used his burly body to force his way through.

Oh, am I back to the original spot? Interesting! Osiris looked at the place and couldn’t help but praise his opponent.

This area didn’t seem too big from the outside, but once inside, it was extremely vast. He circled it many times but felt like he just couldn’t get to the end.

“However, your application isn’t skilled enough. You didn’t completely hide the Mana structure!”

As he spoke, a gust of wind blew from Osiris’ gaping mouth. He blew a gust of dragon breath to the air in this area.

Crack! Something seemed to break. The surrounding air didn’t change, but one second later, something strange happened.

The dragon breath that Osiris blew out turned in the air and blasted back onto his face. It was scalding hot and strongly corrosive. One breath could basically melt a regular person. However, to a dragon, this was just a mouthful of saliva. It wouldn’t cause any damage but getting covered by one’s own spit was just embarrassing.

Osiris knew that he’d fallen for the other’s tricks and was frustrated. “Dammit!”

Shaking his head, he got rid of the burning dragon breath. Osiris began to investigate closely. After around five seconds, he finally found the true Mana structure.

He blew out dragon breath, and there were violent Mana waves. Then, a misty ripple faded in the surrounding air, and the Spatial Closed Loop disappeared. The strangely vast space inside the forest went back to normal, but there was still no sign of his opponent.

“Little thing, where are you hiding?” Osiris paced through the tight space.

Splat! His left foot stepped on something, and there was a noise. A huge spatial ripple appeared, enveloping him.

It was the spatial restraint! Osiris instantly felt his movements slow considerably.

Roar! His body shook, and the fiery dragon power shone. He burst through the spatial restraint within one-tenth of a second.

“You’re so annoying! Little thing, I don’t have time to play hide and seek with you!” Osiris turned around. “Olisa…huh? Olisa, where are you?”

Olisa had been right beside him, but now she was gone. Her little Red Dragon was gone too.

On the other hand, Olisa’s face was full of doubt. She had seen the duke walk into the forest in the distance and then…there was nothing else. He didn’t come back. Helpless, she could only take Felina and pursue in the direction of Osiris.

However, more than ten seconds later, she’d run 300 feet, but the situation seemed even more wrong. Duke Osiris was still nowhere to be found. Even his aura had disappeared.

She looked around and found that there was nothing here except for the dense trees and vegetation. It was frighteningly quiet.

This eeriness terrified Olisa. After being hit in the back of the head, she still had a pounding headache. It greatly affected her spell casting. If she didn’t have the duke’s protection, she’d definitely die if the enemy acted.

Now, her only lifesaver was the gravely wounded dragon. Pressing her wand against the dragon’s forehead, Olisa looked around with caution. She didn’t dare make any moves.

The seconds ticked by. For some reason, the enemy still didn’t act. Her action technically shouldn’t be able to stop the enemy’s sneak attack, right?

Olisa was suspicious, but she had a good brain. Even injured, her reaction was still fast, and she quickly understood everything. I see. The duke must be close to me, but I just can’t see him. The opponent fears his power, so he doesn’t dare reveal himself to attack me!

Thinking of this, she was reassured. She stayed in place rather than wandering around. Just in case, she activated a Level-7 defensive spell for herself.

In the Folded Spatial Sphere under the tree, Link was entirely focused on controlling the entire scene.

His goal wasn’t to kill the Red Dragon duke because he didn’t have the ability. He was just delaying him. If Link could survive until the dragons of the Holy Mountain arrived, he would be safe.

In the distorted space, the Red Dragon took advantage of his aggressive power and charged without caution. He broke through Link’s traps one after another. He had fewer and fewer tricks left.

Elin didn’t understand spatial magic, but she could tell that things were getting more dangerous. The Red Dragon duke was getting closer to where they were hidden.

Her small hand gripped her wand tightly, preparing for the final battle. If Link’s spatial barrier was broken, she would attack. She wouldn’t be able to block the enemy, but she could at least delay him for one or two seconds.

Nana took out her weapon, on guard.

Faced with the tensing atmosphere, Link’s expression was still calm. He continued to pour his Mana into the magic seal, modifying the remaining spatial spells’ parameters to stop the Red Dragon for a bit longer.

Time flowed slowly; sweat beaded on Link’s forehead. He had to put a lot of effort into dealing with someone at the pinnacle of Level-9. He used up his Mana at the high rate of 100 points per second. It felt uncomfortable like a spoon emptying his insides.

One second, two seconds…five seconds, ten seconds…30 seconds…At one minute, Link only had two barriers left.

One was the folded space. It stopped Elemental Magician Olisa and protected Felina.
