The golden arrow automatically expanded the moment it was fired, taking on an extremely thick and massive form.
An intensely sharp aura filled the air, causing everything around it to shatter.
It shot forth with a violent force, plunging headlong into the elemental tide and forcibly tearing it apart.
Only then did Olivia choose to teleport, appearing directly behind Everett.
Having just completed her teleportation, she didn't attack but immediately expanded her domain.
"Within this range, no one is permitted to shoot."
Just as Olivia expanded her domain, Everett whipped around and tried to shoot her, but his attempt failed because of the domain's rule.
Because he had to deal with the elemental attack generated by Elemental Praise, he couldn't turn around immediately, making his shooting speed slower than the expansion of Olivia's domain.
This prompted him to instantly expand his own domain, attempting to neutralize Olivia's.
Regardless of the rules his domain might create, if two domains appeared in the same place, they would cancel each other out, and the rules would no longer matter.
Just as Everett was expanding his domain, Olivia teleported again, appearing right beside him.
If she had teleported next to him the first time, he would have simply swung his bow at her instead of trying to shoot, and her attack would have still been blocked.
So, she chose a more complex approach, successfully creating an opening where Everett was occupied with other measures while she closed in.
Caught in this gap, Everett had no time to react and was struck by Olivia's sword.
A sound like tearing leather rang out, followed immediately by a spray of Everett's blood.
"You're asking for death!"
The pain surging through him caused Everett's face to contort in rage.
He could hardly believe he had been wounded by Olivia; to him, this was an utter disgrace.
A Skywalker injured by a Domainist? If word of this got out, how could he ever show his face again?
To Everett, this situation was nothing more than a fluke.
He swung his longbow directly at Olivia, trying to strike her down.
Yet Olivia dodged the attack with a nimble twist and brought her sword down once more.
Normally, Everett's attacks wouldn't be so easy to evade. However, in his fury, he unconsciously overextended his strength, making it impossible to recover his stance quickly and creating a second opening.
Olivia had anticipated this long ago.
Thus, while evading the strike, she circled behind Everett and delivered another heavy slash.
Slash!
With the sound of tearing flesh, Olivia carved another bloody wound across Everett's back.
Almost the instant she inflicted the wound, Olivia teleported away from her position.
Just as she vanished, a dark iron bear trap appeared with a loud clang, snapping shut on the spot she had just occupied, catching only air.
This sight caused Everett's expression to darken instantly.
He had just dismissed the first wound as a fluke, only for a second one to happen.
Fortunately, he had acted quickly, using his ability to manifest a bear trap out of thin air in an attempt to restrain her.
He hadn't expected that even with the trap's incredible speed, she would still dodge it as if she had foreknowledge.
Something was wrong with this nun.
Everett stared gloomily at the retreating Olivia, his mind racing through her abilities, finding it increasingly difficult to determine just how many tricks she had up her sleeve.
This person seemed like an Arbiter, yet also resembled an elemental mage, and she appeared to possess numerous forbidden artifacts.
But how could a single transcendent dare to hold multiple forbidden artifacts at once? Wasn't she afraid of a backlash that would kill her?
Everett couldn't understand it.
However, he felt that the forbidden artifact granting her foreknowledge was the most terrifying, as it allowed her to anticipate his every move, leaving him at a loss for how to deal with her.
Yes, he was convinced Olivia held a forbidden artifact capable of predicting combat.
This was the judgment he had made as a Skywalker and an experienced transcendent.
It's a pity this is an underground passage and not the outside,
Everett thought irritably.
If they were outside, as a Skywalker, he could simply fly into the sky and use the advantage of distance to rain down arrows, which would be enough to suppress her completely.
But in this underground passage, the space was too cramped; there was nowhere for him to fly.
Perhaps he should find a way to leave first?
With that thought, Everett quickly ducked away and retreated at top speed.
As a Skywalker, needing to avoid the brunt of a Domainist's assault made Everett feel incredibly humiliated.
But there was no choice; the nun before him was simply too bizarre, shrouded in such a thick veil of mystery that he couldn't see through her at all.
Since he couldn't read her, caution had to be his priority.
But if Everett wanted to leave, how could Olivia let him?
She also knew how difficult he would be to handle once he reached the surface, so she had to finish him here in the passage.
She immediately channeled the power of Elemental Praise, causing the earth to rumble violently. The passage they had come through was instantly buried under surging soil, creating a dead end.
Everett's expression sank. With his power, he could certainly tear through the earth to reach the surface.
But that would take time and continuous attacks—would his opponent grant him that time?
Everett was forced to stop. He turned back to face Olivia, knowing he had to settle the score here; escaping to the outside was no longer realistic.
Before Everett could even strike, the surrounding soil continued to churn, surging toward him as if to bury him alive.
Unfazed, Everett calmly drew his bow. Magic power condensed upon it, forming a golden arrow as a sharp aura once again filled the passage.
Whoosh!
As Everett released his grip, the terrifying arrow shot toward Olivia with incredible speed.
This golden arrow was actually different from the previous one.
