"Painting Magic, Wall of Biting Frost."
Ice formed into a wall in front of Rill, and the flames collided with the ice wall. The ice wall melted with a sizzling sound, and white mist drifted in the air. The extremely high temperature had decreased somewhat due to the mist, but it remained incredibly stuffy.
After Rill blocked Fana, Thor didn't idly stand by. He led the Aqua Deer Squad towards the already open treasury door.
The Demon God was about to break free on the Bronze Fertile Plains... The treasury door being open clearly meant someone had already entered. If their goal was the ultimate magic that sealed the Demon God, that would be quite bad... Time waits for no one.
Just as they were about to enter the treasury door, the man with dead fish eyes appeared as if teleporting, blocking their way. He held a katana in his hand. Without any hesitation, the man swung the katana, and dark magic attached to the blade.
"Imitation Magic, Dark Entanglement: Nameless Slash."
A dark slash flew out, cutting horizontally towards the members of the Aqua Deer Squad.
Thor's golden pupils glowed faintly, and his blue grimoire began to turn pages. He reached out and touched a grimoire page, and gauntlet gloves with flickering blue electric arcs appeared in his hands.
At the forefront, he met the slash with a punch. Lightning danced on the dark slash, dust surged, leaving only blue electric arcs.
"Excuse me, everyone, this way is closed off." Raia said lazily, declaring his obstruction. But it was at this moment... he sensed an unusual magic appearing around him, and he swung his katana backwards.
Vaguely, those golden eyes, due to the rapid speed, pulled out a thin golden line.
It was Thor who appeared behind him. "Lightning Magic, Four Phases: Thunder Phantasm Square."
Blue lightning condensed into four rotating phantasm squares. Raia's swinging motion seemed to freeze in place. One lightning phantasm square dissipated, and several winding blue lights, like snakes, wrapped around his gauntlet. The second phantasm square dissipated.
A punch gathered with lightning struck the katana, shattering the blade and scattering it into the air, until Thor's fist landed on Raia's body, and the derailed world began to function normally.
Winding lightning bloomed. Raia, feeling an intense pain in his face, his eyes hazy, spat out a large mouthful of blood and was uncontrollably sent flying backwards, rolling repeatedly on the ground, kicking up dust.
"You all go first, he's mine."
Seeing the Vice-Captain Thor displaying his prowess, the remaining members of the Aqua Deer Squad didn't hesitate and ran towards the treasury. Bai En passed by Thor. He tried hard to recall what he had perceived with his magic in the dust earlier.
Rotating squares formed by lightning... was it fast speed... or was time temporarily slowed down?
But undoubtedly, this Vice-Captain was incredibly strong, probably already on par with a Magic Knights Squad Captain.
Bai En didn't think further and followed the others ahead, speeding up until they disappeared into the treasury's passage.
"Raia!"
Fana, sitting on the Salamander, roared as she watched her companion fly backwards. Her vast magic power trembled uncontrollably, and the surrounding temperature continuously climbed.
"Painting Magic, Sickle Weasel's Wind Blades!"
Several galloping wind blades cut towards Fana from all directions. The Salamander automatically protected its master, spitting fire. The wind blades were incredibly fast, breaking through the defense range before the scorching breath arrived.
The wind blades were meant to land directly on Fana's head, but their position shifted, only scratching her cheek, creating a long bloody mark, with three or four similar blood marks spurting blood.
The shift in the wind blades' position wasn't Rill holding back, but rather the immense magic power distorting their trajectory.
"Miss, you shouldn't be distracted when fighting me. I really hope you can give me more inspiration." Rill waved his paintbrush, greeting Fana.
But Fana glared at him with a contorted face. A vertical eye grew on her forehead where a magic crest was etched. Gloomy, evil, disdainful magic rose from her. "Again... and again, you hurt my companions. I will definitely kill you all!"
"Flame Spirit Magic, Salamander's Hook Claws."
The giant Salamander swung its powerful claws. A concentrated flame claw attack descended from the air. Rill ran on the ground, agile and fast, as if gliding on an ice-free surface. He nimbly dodged the range of the claw attack. The fiery talons missed, leaving only scorched earth on the ground.
Rill waved his paintbrush, and ice cones shot up from the ground, piercing directly towards the Flame Spirit.
But the scorching breath instantly burned the entire ice cone into mist, evaporating completely.
"Again, again!" Rill shouted as he ran, a joyful smile on his face. His paintbrush fell again. "Painting Magic, Torrential Water Snake Swarm!"
Snakes formed by water rushed towards Fana, biting at her, their sharp water fangs glinting coldly.
But, as expected, the Flame Spirit, renowned as the strongest in attack among the four spirits, instantly turned the water snakes into scorching steam. The air was humid and extremely hot.
--------------------
Raia, who was sent flying by Thor's punch, had not lost his fighting power. As one of the Three Eyes, capable of rivaling a Magic Knights Squad Captain, how could he be defeated so easily?
He got up from the ground and twisted his neck. His gaze, which had been diffused due to his dead fish eyes, became somewhat sharp when he concentrated.
Although he was somewhat puzzled by Thor's strange attack, Raia was quite confident that he would win.
"Imitation Magic, Healing Light Particles."
His grimoire, emitting a faint glow, silently turned a page. Golden light particles fell on his injured face, and the wound began to heal. Without any exchange, Raia flipped his grimoire again, and several golden light swords condensed behind him.
"Let's try this first."
"Imitation Magic, Judgment Light Sword."
Raia waved his hand, and several light swords thrust out. The Judgment Light Swords moving swiftly through the air were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!
Thor's gauntlet had three phantasm squares. One had recovered in the brief moment just now. The rotating Thunder Phantasm Square dissipated, and the light swords moved slowly like golden threads in the derailed world.
He charged towards Raia. Two phantasm squares on his gauntlet dissipated, and lightning, more violent and rampant than the previous punch, seemed to roar!
The direction of the gauntlet's powerful punch was still Raia's face.
Just as the lightning was about to land.
Raia sidestepped, dodging the punch. "Hey, hey, hey, little brother, can you please not always hit my face?"
"I really value this face of mine!"
"How could this be..." Thor's face showed a hint of surprise. "He moved... and dodged?"
"Oh, oh~ what amazing magic, it almost scared me to death." Raia smiled, placing his hand on the grimoire floating beside Thor. "However, next, I'll be able to do it too~"
The Judgment Light Swords, from their linear form, disappeared into the air again, exploding on the stone wall behind the two of them. The world returned to its clamor.
The winding lightning on the gauntlet exploded to the side. Raia appeared in the distance as if teleporting, dodging the lightning that had changed its attack trajectory.
"This speed... is it Light Magic?"
