Countless magic bullets shredded the wooden branches and vines in the air, crashing toward the two figures.
Using the magic bullets as cover, Feanor Grey charged quickly into the sky.
At the same time, Olorine was enveloped in sword light, turning into a cyan phantom as she rushed upward.
With the support of the Angel's Halo, her speed was incredible. As she slashed down with her sword light, she activated the masterpiece grade magical artifact, Secret Garden, to lock the surrounding space.
Zeno raised her silver Staff of the Puppeteer and invoked the Collapsed Atmosphere.
In an instant, the locked space was forcibly released, and Zeno's group vanished from their spot.
All the attacks hit nothing but air.
Blink!
A spatial attribute magical artifact!
Flying at high speed in the air, Feanor Grey's pupils constricted as he activated a defensive spell without hesitation.
Mana rapidly constructed a magic barrier around his body.
However, the barrier was immediately engulfed in blazing flames.
This fiery power!
Feanor Grey gripped his staff, feeling the intense drain on his mana.
They had actually escaped the lockdown of the Secret Garden's spatial power.
Although it was hard to believe, that staff was...
"A treasure grade magical artifact!"
Cries of shock rang out simultaneously.
Having missed her strike, Olorine floated in the air using the power of the wind. Her body, though strengthened, had reached its limit, and a wave of exhaustion washed over her.
The Angel's Halo held the power of an angel, which was a massive burden for any being below that level.
Even Olorine, who stood at the peak of humanity, could not maintain it for long.
Furthermore, the spatial power of the Secret Garden was being suppressed by the other party's treasure grade spatial magical artifact.
The power of a treasure grade magical artifact went beyond just that.
Zeno gripped her staff. As she waved it, countless vines reached out from the void.
Each vine condensed a powerful spatial force, instantly binding Olorine tightly.
Simultaneously, Feiwan activated her ability. Nine condensed fire wyverns, bodies wreathed in scorching flames, pounced toward Olorine.
Olorine swung her sword to deploy a wind barrier. While defending against the flames, she turned into a phantom, piercing through two of the fire dragons in an instant.
However, Zeno's target had always been the formula copper plate in Olorine's hand.
She manipulated the Collapsed Atmosphere while the two Spatial Spider Queens beneath her shot out silk.
The Spatial Silk worked in tandem with the Collapsed Atmosphere, piercing through space to stick firmly to the formula copper plate.
"Oh no!"
As the Spatial Spider Queens pulled back, the formula copper plate was snatched away and transferred into Zeno's hands.
Feanor Grey was desperate. Without a word, he activated a magical artifact on his person.
A greater magic grade magical artifact, the Time-Keeping Deadwood.
The Time-Keeping Deadwood looked like a withered branch resembling an old man's arm, with five forks. Each fork could grow a tender leaf.
Consuming a leaf allowed one to skip the chanting time and directly cast spells below the fifth rank.
For an angelic mage, consuming a leaf could accelerate the chanting process.
The Time-Keeping Deadwood required cultivation. It took a week to grow one leaf, with a maximum capacity of five.
Currently, the Time-Keeping Deadwood had three leaves remaining.
As the effect activated, one of the three leaves quickly fell off.
"Fifth-rank magic, Misty Fire Cloud!"
A fire magic circle instantly expanded and activated.
In an instant, it was as if a massive cloud of fire had descended from the sky, covering the entire horizon.
The fifth-rank magic Misty Fire Cloud was a wide-area fire attack, but its single-target damage was weak.
Feanor Grey's choice to use this spell at this moment did not seem wise.
However, he hadn't cast it to deal direct damage, but rather...
Above him, Olorine, with the Angel's Halo over her head, raised her sword with her remaining strength as a massive wind tornado wrapped around the blade.
Turning her body into a phantom, she shot forward like a cannonball.
The flames filling the sky were gathered by her Sword Qi, forming a flaming spear of destruction that thrust toward Zeno.
Zeno had only ever displayed plant-based abilities.
Feanor Grey surmised that the price for such powerful plant abilities must be a weakness to fire.
Zeno raised her hand and pulled out a leaf-shaped shield.
The lesser magic grade magical artifact, the Leaf-Shaped Shield.
Special effect: it can block only one attack, but it can block the damage entirely.
The thin Leaf-Shaped Shield met the full-force strike from Olorine and Feanor Grey.
The terrifying power was absorbed by the unassuming thin shield. However, when the attack was mostly absorbed, the Leaf-Shaped Shield shattered prematurely.
This was the power of the Angel's Halo.
Power at the angelic level already exceeded the limits of the Leaf-Shaped Shield.
A mere lesser magic grade magical artifact could not possibly withstand an infinite amount of damage.
Anything below the angelic level was the limit for this lesser magic grade item.
The remaining fire attack slashed toward Zeno.
Yet, the moment the flames were about to scorch Zeno, they split to either side as if repelled by an invisible force.
The greater magic grade magical artifact, Fire-Extinguishing Light Armor.
Zeno took the opportunity to activate the Collapsed Atmosphere and performed another Blink.
Simultaneously, Feiwan controlled the remaining fire dragons to breathe fire, igniting the entire plant-filled area.
Having missed her attack again, Olorine felt her body protesting.
The power of the Angel's Halo was starting to destroy her body.
Her body, which had maintained its youth, began to show various signs of aging.
Feanor Grey's eyes widened as he activated the Time-Keeping Deadwood once more.
However, Zeno did not linger any longer. She activated the Collapsed Atmosphere and began a spatial teleportation.
"Bastard, don't you dare think of leaving!"
Feanor Grey shouted, casting another fifth-rank spell at the same time.
"Fifth-rank magic, Thunder God Tree!"
In an instant, thick purple lightning rose from the ground, disintegrating rocks and houses into dust. Countless chains of lightning spread out like a tree canopy, threatening to swallow the two who were teleporting away.
Zeno activated the Collapsed Atmosphere to fold space, but the purple lightning still spread through the folded space, striking toward the two in the air.
Seeing this, Feiwan quickly crouched down.
Scorching fire power erupted downward like an inverted volcano, crashing against the encroaching Thunder God Tree.
Meanwhile, the two Spatial Spider Queens moved their thick legs rapidly, scurrying through the void toward the high heavens.
As the only two Spatial Spider Queens left from the subordinate floor, their power was not lacking in the slightest.
With their spatial abilities, they made for quite excellent mounts at the very least.
"Olorine!"
Feanor Grey shouted.
But Olorine had reached her limit. Her once-smooth arms had aged, becoming wrinkled, withered, and covered in liver spots.
It was too late to stop them now. They could only watch as Zeno's group vanished through the high-altitude teleportation.
From the moment Zeno and the other woman appeared to snatch the prize to their teleported escape.
Everything had happened too quickly.
No one expected a third powerful force to suddenly cut in.
They had even deployed a treasure grade magical artifact.
Just who was that Zeno, and who was the woman beside her, whose power was no less than hers!
This was a humiliation for the Grey family.
And a double humiliation at that!
If they didn't kill these two, how could the Grey family maintain their footing in the Northern Territory?
Moreover, they had a treasure grade magical artifact, and they had stolen the Grey family's Life Casket.
This was already enough for the Grey family to go all out to find these two people!
