Just as the witches were completely unguarded, a huge fireball suddenly appeared at close range behind Margaret.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded behind her.
The fireball blasted her straight off her broom.
"Margaret!"
The leading witch, Marin, shouted and was about to rush to her aid, but in the empty air, a whole string of fireballs suddenly appeared out of nowhere, launching consecutive attacks at her and the other witches.
"What's going on?"
Caught off guard by the attack, Marin was shocked and no longer had the time to save her sister.
She hurriedly waved her magic and cast a small protective shield, propping it up in front of her like an open umbrella.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of fireballs exploded instantly against Marin's shield.
But in that brief delay, Margaret had already fallen out of the shield's coverage.
Marin's shield was one directional. That meant attacks from the outside could not get in, but getting out from the inside was extremely easy.
And the moment Margaret passed through the shield, she was immediately sucked into the fire tornado outside.
"AHHH!"
Margaret let out a bloodcurdling scream.
But without the protection of the shield, she did not even have time to react before she was roasted alive by the fire tornado.
And even after Margaret had been burned to death, her body was still carried by the fire tornado, spinning nonstop. The effect was just like Brazilian barbecue… endless rotation, flipping on all sides, guaranteed cooked through and evenly done.
"Everyone be careful!"
"That damned bug is definitely using invisibility magic!"
"Everyone work together. Use wide range, large area attack skills now!"
The leading witch immediately shouted to the others, "Eira, use Flying Snow right now and force that bug to reveal his position!"
"And Serena, use Wind Blossom immediately. Surround everyone and handle the perimeter defense!"
"Lily, you use Focus Fire. The moment that bug shows himself, attack at once!"
"Yes, Sister Marin!"
The witches responded.
But just as they began chanting, preparing to release their skills…
"Meow!"
A cat suddenly leapt out of thin air and lunged straight at Eira on the outer edge.
In the next instant, Eira was slapped off her broom by Daji's claw.
"Sister Marin, save me!"
Eira screamed, but everything happened too fast.
At this moment, no one had the spare attention to help anyone else. Marin herself was still busy blocking the fireball attacks. How could she have the time to save anyone.
Fortunately, Eira reacted faster than Margaret.
When she had fallen about halfway down, she directly pulled out a scroll from her tail ring and tore it open through clenched teeth.
Immediately, a layer of blue protection formed around her body. Wrapped in this shield, Eira fell into the fire tornado without suffering any harm.
But just as she was feeling smug, summoning her broom and preparing to take off again, a ghostly claw suddenly appeared at the tail end of the broom.
Then… The claw grabbed the broom handle and yanked her violently down from midair.
"AHHH!"
This time, Eira completely lost control of her descent.
Her entire body, shield and all, slammed into the ground, dying as thoroughly as one could die.
After all, a shield could block attacks, but it could not block impact. Her outer body remained intact, but her internal organs had already been turned into mush by the collision.
"EIRA!"
Marin screamed.
She could no longer hold back. With her other hand, she pulled a very short magic wand from her hair and immediately began chanting a "Blade" spell at the suddenly appearing Daji.
This was a fast casting offensive spell.
"Blade!"
Marin barely needed to chant. She simply opened her mouth, and a blade formed of magic shot straight toward Daji.
At that moment, Daji had just knocked one witch off her broom and was about to leap onto another witch's broom, preparing to attack Serena, who was about to cast the Wind Blossom skill.
Whoosh!
The sudden attack forced Daji to halt her movement.
She instantly petrified the skin facing Marin in midair. When the blade struck Daji's petrified skin, sparks flew at once.
"Damn petrified pet!"
Marin roared in fury and cast several more blade spells in succession.
They kept slicing against Daji's petrified skin.
Under the continuous barrage, Daji was unable to revert to her flesh form at all, and could only watch helplessly as she fell from midair.
At this moment, Serena's Wind Blossom skill finally completed.
Petals filled the sky, appearing around the remaining three witches. Like a tornado, like a protective ring, they guarded the witches inside.
Countless pink petals drifted through the night sky, faintly outlining the shape of an eagle.
That was naturally, the white eagle, cloaked in Ethan's invisibility cloak.
When Ethan discovered that the invisibility cloak was actually fire resistant, he decisively put it on the white eagle, letting it vanish into the night sky. Then, using long range attacks like Fireball, he launched sneak attacks on the witches.
And because Daji could petrify parts of her skin, she was not afraid of getting burned by the white eagle either.
So Ethan simply sent her up into the sky as well, taking advantage of the witches' lack of attention to catch them completely off guard.
The results were pretty good.
It was just a pity that Daji took a beating.
"White Eagle, retreat immediately. Don't linger in the fight!"
Ethan shouted from below. At this point, the fire tornado outside the shield was also gradually fading away with time.
Only a witch, roasted crispy on the outside and tender inside, fell from midair to the ground.
And the white eagle at this moment, did not even need Ethan's reminder. It had already executed a turn in midair and rapidly flew toward Daji.
It intended to catch Daji in her petrified state.
"Screech!"
The white eagle let out a sharp cry in response to Ethan.
But while Ethan could see what the white eagle intended to do, Marin could see it just as clearly. She shouted to Lily, "Focus fire on that eagle! Don't let it escape!"
"Yes, Sister Marin!"
The tip of Lily's magic staff began gathering red light continuously.
As she chanted, the glow grew brighter and brighter, redder and redder, like a newly risen sun, dazzling to the extreme.
At a glance, its power was clearly terrifying.
"Meteor!"
Lily shouted, a beam of blazing red light shot straight toward the white eagle in midair.
And at that very moment, the white eagle caught Daji as she fell from the sky.
