Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The eyeballs summoned by Vivian also burst forth with powerful energy, shooting towards Lucas, but they were all instantly blocked by the magic circle summoned by the forbidden spell pillar.

Tata remained silent upon seeing this, and slowly withdrew the four tentacles and the two towering giant hands behind her.

Lucas grew increasingly smug. His entire body was now covered in dark blue runes, making him look like a rune mage performing a mysterious ritual in a storybook. Except for his white beard, everything else had turned dark blue.

He spread his arms wide as if in a frenzy, laughing as he looked at Tata opposite him:

"Tata, just watch, watch how I destroy everything you love. I know you want to rush to the outer perimeter to stop those demon bats, but you can't. You can only helplessly watch as this city is completely reduced to nothingness, and the people you want to protect in the city gradually die."

"Just watch closely, I, Lucas, will be the ultimate winner!!!"

Upon hearing this, Vivian looked towards the sky in the distant outer city.

At this moment, the area was shrouded in darkness, just like the inner city. The only difference was that the darkness in the inner city came from the forbidden pillars cast by Lucas, while the darkness in the outer city came from the endless demon bats.

"I'll go."

She looked at Tata and spoke, her aged voice still relatively calm at this moment.

Tata can beat Lucas, but it will take time. Even if she is here, she can't help Tata much. It would be better to go and support the Demon Bat Cave now.

"Nobody's leaving!!"

Upon hearing this, Lucas smiled fiercely, dark blue magic surging in his hands as he clenched them tightly.

The forbidden spell pillar in the sky immediately projected a dark blue barrier, blocking Vivian's path.

He had made up his mind to stop the two of them at all costs.

With the forbidden spell pillar in place, he will not be in any danger for several hours.

After a few hours, once the situation in the outer city is completely resolved, the manor lord will naturally come to rescue him.

Both the large estate owner and the fifth-tier mushroom monster at the Gold-Earning Casino obeyed his commands.

“You finally got it right this time, Lucas.”

Tata's deep, hoarse voice rang out, and Lucas's heart sank for no apparent reason.

"You finally did the right thing this time, in angering me."

As soon as Tata finished speaking, the towering black mist that filled the sky vanished in an instant. It began to shrink from its vast and boundless form, and even after it had receded back to Tata's usual appearance, it did not stop. Instead, it split open in the middle like a curtain, revealing the true face of the person inside.

Lucas was shocked, Vivian was shocked.

Basil, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also shocked.

Lucas and Basil had never seen Tata's true face, and Vivian hadn't seen Tata's real appearance for decades.

I don’t know when it started, but he has always looked like this, shrouded in black mist.

Beneath the black mist stood a burly man, 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, with a robust physique and well-proportioned muscles. Most importantly, apart from his white hair and beard, there was not a single wrinkle on his face.

Because his face was completely rotten, covered in scars, only his eyes were visible and relatively intact.

It was as if something had cut it open, ripped it apart, leaving crisscrossing scars—it was horrifying.

The thick black mist now condensed on Tata's right hand, merging with the four weapons from before, as if they had all become part of Tata.

"Lucas, I must say, you're a beast."

The black mist in Tata's right hand suddenly transformed, as if his entire hand had turned into a gigantic axe, and he slowly approached Lucas.

"Since you're so eager to settle things, then I'll grant your wish."

Weapon Master Tier 5 Skill: [Axe Form - Sky Cleaver]

The giant axe continued to grow larger, even surpassing the forbidden pillar and penetrating deep into the clouds, and it showed no signs of stopping.

With each step Tata took, the axe seemed to slice through the sky, leaving a clear trail in the dark sky infected by the forbidden spell pillar.

Lucas felt a strange tremor run through him, but outwardly he continued to shout, his expression utterly ferocious:

"Come on!! Tata!!!"

He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe that the forbidden spell array he had prepared for so long would lose.

Tata didn't answer him again, but responded by waving her right arm.

"Shh-"

It was a crisp, clean sound, without any earth-shattering noise, without the sound of wind and thunder cutting through the air, or any deafening roar.

It was such a clean and decisive cut, as if it had severed everything.

Lucas looked up at the sky, his eyes churning with turmoil. He saw a neat scratch appear on the towering pillar of forbidden magic. Then, as if the flow of magic power had been blocked, the entire array began to roar, and the top section of the array collapsed and disintegrated with a crash.

A single strike, as if cleaving the heavens.

Without the slightest pause, as Tata's arm fell, the condensed gray mist instantly transformed, this time into a giant scythe like that worn by the Grim Reaper, carrying a chilling aura of death, which swung down towards Lucas.

Weapon Master Tier 5 Skill: [Scythe-Shaped Soul Slash]

This strike only severs the soul.

"欻——"

Another seemingly insignificant blow.

At the last moment, the forbidden pillar forcibly appeared despite the blockage of magic, blocking Lucas's way. Lucas looked at the scythe blade, which was only a few centimeters from the tip of his nose, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Did they stop them?

He felt a sense of relief.

But then, he roared like a madman, the pain piercing to the bone. It was as if a huge crack had appeared in his mind, causing him unbearable agony. He clutched his head and screamed incessantly, his eyes bulging and bloodshot.

Tata's attack was not over yet. His right arm materialized again, this time into an enormous crystal ball, on which all things evolved, following the cycle of summer, autumn, and winter.

【Spherical - Time Passes By】

As if it involved the passage of time, a strange magical power erupted from it, spreading and accelerating everything in its path.

The destruction of the forbidden pillar was also accelerated, and the magic flowing on it began to dissipate at twice the original speed, causing the entire pillar to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Tata watched the pillar perish silently, without launching another attack.

After screaming, Lucas suddenly raised his head in the distance, looking at Tata with eyes filled with venomous resentment, his crimson eyes seeming to weep blood.

"Weapon Master, you damn guy, your profession is Weapon Master!"

Before Tata could speak, he burst into wild laughter again, as if he had been stunned by the blow from the giant scythe and was starting to lose his senses.

"Weapon Master, you must switch weapon skills for each attack, and you can only use the next skill after you have used the previous one."

"It will take at least thirty minutes for your crystal ball to completely destroy the Forbidden Pillar!!! Hahaha!!! In thirty minutes, the Demon Bats will have already reduced Kanriel to ruins."

"I won in the end!! It was me!!!"

Tata remained silent as he listened to Lucas's words.

He hadn't expected that Lucas would know about such an obscure profession as Weapon Master.

But Lucas was right.

The higher the level of the Weapon Master profession, the greater the limitations. At his level, he must use all four weapons in sequence.

His final weapon, the iron hammer named "Blazing Cold Light," was the first weapon he ever crafted.

At that time, he only knew how to show off his talents and did not understand what it meant to control his power.

This means that once he uses this final weapon, his consciousness will go out of control and he will go berserk.

That's why he crafted the crystal ball called "Four Seasons".

Its purpose is to be sufficiently mild, allowing it to be canceled immediately after use, without having to use up the last bit of power.

Under the influence of the Four Seasons, it will take thirty minutes to destroy the Forbidden Spell Pillar.

So now it's just a matter of... whether Sheke and Luo Xiu can hold out for 30 minutes.

He looked towards the outer city in the distance, where swarms of demonic bats roamed, dark as clouds that blotted out the sun, and their sharp roars could be heard even from there.

Will it succeed...? Luo Xiu.

He sighed inwardly, wondering how to ensure Luo Xiu's safe departure should he ultimately fail.

Luo Xiu had done a good enough job in this battle. He believed that no one he knew before would have done as well as Luo Xiu.

In truth, no more could be asked of Luo Xiu, but Tata had a strange confidence that her student could shine brightly in this battle and turn the tide of the war.

That was his best student, and also his only student.

Trust your students; no reason is needed.

This was what his teacher told him.

I'm taking the day off today due to health reasons.

Guys, I have a question. My eyes are probably exposed to too much organic solvents like dichloromethane and petroleum ether every day, which caused dry eye syndrome. Then, after rubbing them, it turned into bacterial conjunctivitis.

I took levofloxacin drips all day yesterday, but there's no improvement today, so I have to take a day off. Sorry.

See you tomorrow.

Wishing you happiness every day!

Chapter 203 Decisive Battle 3

In the outer city, in the Forest of Illusions.

The scene at that moment could only be described as utterly dark and gloomy.

The swarms of black, swarming bats danced wildly in the air like a swarm of bees, squeaking and buzzing in a chaotic mess. Shek could easily sweep up a swarm with a single sweep of his thick thorns, and after crushing one, a large swarm of bats would rush to take its place in an instant.

The towering wall of thorns acts as a dividing line, separating the two ends of light and shadow. On one side is a ferocious and stinking battlefield, and on the other is a peaceful and tranquil mushroom forest.

However, this barrier is now nearing its limit.

Countless thorns stretched out from the high wall, killing the low-level demon bats before retreating to draw energy from the soil and the crimson magic circle. However, there were simply too many enemies in the air, and the thorns' hunting speed could not keep up with the speed of the demon bats' attack. The demon bat army continued to advance.

Shek sat on the throne of thorns, his face somewhat pale.

His hands rested lightly on the armrests on either side of the throne. With a slight movement of his fingers, countless scarlet magic circles appeared, and a torrent of elements surged forth, as if the rainbow light that makes up the world was flowing backward, bursting into the swarm of demonic bats.
