Ferde Port, under the lighthouse

“Die!” Ravenna yelled behind Link.

At the same time, Link felt the space behind him shake. Then there was an indescribable feeling of solidification. He knew immediately that the space around him was now sealed by some force.

The space was like a block of ice now. It was completely stiff and hard as well. There was no way to do anything.

“You’re trying to seal off my escape routes?” Link moved. Dragon Power burst within him and his figure blurred. He turned to face Ravenna.

He saw Ravenna hold a ball of dark red light in her right hand. More accurately, the light was coming from her forearm. It cast spidery threads in the air. At a glance, it looked as if a bunch of blood vessels were in the air.

The light brightened quickly, emanating an ineffable mightiness.

With the space locked up, Link couldn’t use the Dimensional Jump. All spatial magic was sealed as well—Instant Flash, Spatial Sphere, Despair… Wait, Despair seemed usable still.

Link quickly activated the special effects of the Assassin’s Robe. He instantaneously cast the Despair spell. A ball of light containing a black whirlpool floated in the air.

After that, Link took out the Burning Wrath of Heavens wand to use the Demon Slayer Whip, but something unexpected occurred. A red thread flashed in the air and then scattered uncontrollably.

His Demon Slayer Whip had lost effectiveness!

All my power has been cracked. It is dark red and chaotic. This is the God of Destruction’s divine spell! Link’s thoughts whirred and immediately processed everything.

“Ha, you can’t do anything. Destruction!” Ravenna yelled.

The dark red ball of light flashed in her hand. A bloody beam shot out towards Link’s head. In that moment, Link really felt death coming.

He was sure that if he was hit, both his body and soul would be destroyed. Being between life and death, Link was extremely focused. Everything slowed down in his vision.

He controlled the Despair Ball with his mind, preemptively moving it into the path of the bloody beam. At the same time, he directed the reappearance location to be at Ravenna’s arm.

Poof! The bloody beam buried into the Despair Ball. Another ball appeared beside Ravenna’s body, and the bloody beam shot out.

Poof! The beam burrowed into Ravenna’s raised arm.

Its strength was indescribable. Ravenna’s right arm wasn’t protected at all. With a sizzle, it dropped to the ground. The dark red glow on the arm also extinguished.

“Ah, how can this be? Ah, my arm!” Ravenna cried in pain. She covered her wound with her left hand as she rolled on the ground, curling into a ball.

“How can this be? Ah, it hurts! Ah, it lied, it lied. It said it could lock all power! It lied!”

Ravenna was entirely shaken. She cried out in pain, swore and cursed. She was in utter disbelief.

Link let out a long sigh. Just then, less than one-tenth of a second earlier, he had been a step away from death. If the Despair Ball had been ineffective, it would have been impossible for him to avoid a Level-9 Magician’s attack with just physical movement in that tight of a space.

Perhaps he could avoid getting hit in a vital organ using his predictions, but he could feel that no matter where he was hit, it would greatly damage his soul.

This is definitely the God of Destruction’s scheme. He’s seen me before and knows my powers, so he sealed it all. If I didn’t learn this new spell, I definitely would have died!

A gust of ocean wind blew by, and Link felt the coolness on his forehead. He touched it, and his hand pulled away with a thin layer of cold sweat.

This event involved the God of Destruction. He’d once again blocked the senses of the God of Light. The game system stopped working again. It didn’t remind Link at all when faced with this fatal situation.

It’ll probably always be like this in the future. In a war between gods, a mortal like me is just a throwaway.

In the distance, Ravenna was still crying in pain. Link’s fear subsided. From 65 feet away, he cast a Spatial Rend and pulverized Ravenna’s arm that contained the God of Destruction’s power. Then he cast a Spatial Restraint, keeping her to the ground.

“You betrayed the High Elves?” Link asked.

“Human, you dirty and lowly human, you should have died. You can’t live!” Ravenna yelled, glaring at Link.
