Late at night, Li Wei was still awake.

He had not entered the Dream World.

His intuition told him that something was going to happen tonight.

Li Wei sat inside his tent, engaging in Cultivation and working to deduce the Tier Three Fireball Skill.

He was just one step away from advancing from Tier Two Perfection Level to Tier Three. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Immersed in his magical deductions, time passed without him noticing.

The color of the Fireball in Li Wei’s hand changed, shifting from red to orange, and then from orange to blue.

Finally, a blue Fireball appeared in his palm.

Li Wei opened his eyes, a smile spreading across his face as he looked at the blue Fireball.

"Success."

[Fireball Skill (Tier Three, Small Success)] 0/10000

This wasn’t a charged spell; the blue Fireball was the result of a normal Casting.

The Tier Three blue Fireball possessed an extremely high temperature.

Melting gold and liquifying iron would be a simple task.

Before this, the Fireball Skill’s power was focused more on its explosive aspect.

Now, the Fireball Skill’s power had returned to raw flame damage.

This change was consistent with the evolution from Bursting Fireball to Blast Flame Skill.

In the past, the Fireball had an explosion radius of five meters.

It would blast apart and scorch objects within that five-meter range.

As long as something was sturdy enough, it could withstand the Fireball Skill’s attack.

Now, the Fireball still had an explosion radius of five meters.

But everything within those five meters would be melted and vaporized.

Even the sturdiest objects could no longer resist the flames.

Li Wei was basking in the joy of his successful deduction.

His Shadow Attendant sent him a warning.

Li Wei reacted instantly, releasing his Spiritual Power to sense his surroundings.

He discovered an abnormal Elemental Fluctuation not far away.

Elemental Fluctuations spread out like ripples in water.

Although the range of Li Wei’s Spiritual Power couldn’t reach the source of the ripples,

he could still perceive the fluctuating Elements.

By detecting these abnormal Elemental Fluctuations, he could determine if someone was Casting Magic.

Or using Magic Items.

The Elemental Fluctuation was quite strong. Clearly, whoever was coming did not have good intentions.

Li Wei stood up and, with a wave of his hand, placed three layers of Invisible Armor on Melvin.

Then, he headed outside.

He threw his Invisibility Cloak over his shoulders and vanished into the darkness.

The Shadow Attendant had already gone ahead to scout the enemy.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The outermost Magic Puppets were struck down.

They appeared completely unable to fight back.

Li Wei discovered that the Magic Puppets had been tampered with.

When facing the enemy, they all stood motionless in place, like wooden dummies.

That was how the enemy had so easily broken through their defensive line.

’With a traitor in our midst, these Magic Puppets really can’t be trusted.’

’If they have a way to deal with the Magic Puppets, the Surveillance Demon Eyes are probably useless too.’

Li Wei looked up and could no longer see any trace of the Surveillance Demon Eyes.

’This traitor is quite capable. Their position probably isn’t low.’

He even suspected that the traitor was among those who had attended that meeting.

Otherwise, how could they have accessed something so critical?

Dark figures rapidly approached the altar.

As they drew closer, Li Wei got a clear look at the attackers.

It was the Iron-toothed Tiger that had attacked the escort team during the day and silenced the Mage.

Behind the Iron-toothed Tiger were more than a dozen other figures.

All of them were Tier Two and Above Magic Beasts.

A flicker of understanding crossed Li Wei’s eyes. He realized there was likely a team of Summoners behind this pack of Magic Beasts.

A single person would have difficulty controlling so many Magic Beasts.

They were using the Magic Beasts to attack and destroy the altar.

They were trying to make it look like an accident.

Before Li Wei had a chance to act,

the ground began to shake.

"Four-sided Rock Trapping Array!"

Four enormous Rock Pillars rose from the ground, encircling the Magic Beasts.

A wave of Power emanated from the Rock Pillars, forcing all the Magic Beasts inside the circle to the ground.

It was as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, their bodies incredibly heavy.

A few of the Magic Beasts managed to escape the encirclement before the Four-sided Rock Trapping Array fully formed.

Among them was the leader, the Iron-toothed Tiger.

The Iron-toothed Tiger roared and lunged into the darkness.

A figure emerged.

"Earth Wall Skill!"

A wall of rock rose up, blocking the Iron-toothed Tiger’s path.

The Iron-toothed Tiger swiped its paw, shattering the rock wall.

But the figure behind it had already disappeared.

"Fossil into Mud!"

"Mire Skill!"

A large patch of ground beneath the Iron-toothed Tiger turned into a bog.

The Iron-toothed Tiger struggled continuously, trying to escape the mire.

But it only sank deeper and deeper into the bog.

Li Wei looked up to see Martin standing atop one of the Rock Pillars, looking down on the invading Magic Beasts.

It wasn’t just him; Komas, El, and the others had also appeared near the battlefield.

Quite a few people had sensed the Magic Beast attack.

But those who could react immediately were already on the scene.

With everyone working together, the dozen or so Magic Beasts were quickly on the verge of defeat,

and in the blink of an eye, only four or five remained alive.

Just then, a violent Magic Fluctuation suddenly erupted in the distant night sky.

Li Wei looked up, his eyes narrowing as he used the moonlight to get a clear view of the scene in mid-air.

A figure with wings sprouting from its back stood in the sky.

A terrifying spell was brewing before him.

Li Wei’s eyes widened. ’Tyr?’

’How could he be here?’

Li Wei was completely surprised.

He never expected Tyr to show up here.

A Tier Four Wind Magic spell!

Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin!

Countless Wind Elements gathered to form a long, azure dragon that swept toward them.

Even before it drew near, a powerful gale began to blow between heaven and earth.

Everyone struggled to keep their footing.

A grave expression appeared on Martin’s face.

"It’s a Tier Four Spell!"

Komas said calmly, "Don’t worry. I’ve already set up a Defense Barrier Array in advance."

"Activate the Defense Array."

VMMMM!

A vast expanse of Magic Patterns lit up on the ground.

A blue Barrier rose up, enveloping the entire altar.

BOOM!

The Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin, formed from coalesced Wind Elements, slammed into the Barrier.

The Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin rotated rapidly, like a giant drill continuously grinding away at the Barrier’s Power.

Komas’s expression changed, and he shouted, "The Barrier won’t hold! Everyone, attack now!"

The power of this Tier Four Spell was somewhat beyond his expectations.

It was far stronger than an ordinary Tier Four Spell.

In the distance, Tyr was still channeling the Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin, further enhancing its attack power.

It was just like Li Wei’s Charged Fireball Skill.

The connection between Tyr and the Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin had not been severed.

He was still continuously supplying Mana to augment the spell’s might.

This was the power of his Tier Four Extraordinary Traits.

The Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin grew more and more intense.

CRACK!

The Defense Barrier shattered.

Everyone unleashed their own spells, trying to stop the Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin from descending.

Suddenly, the Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin, which had been aimed straight at the altar, veered and shot toward the night sky instead.

Tyr glared furiously at the Armored Man who had suddenly appeared.

Without hesitation, he abandoned his attack on the altar and redirected his power to blast him.

Destroying the altar was just a mission.

But between him and Li Wei, it was a blood feud to the death.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The furious wind howled, making it difficult for even Li Wei to control his position in mid-air.

The Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin rushed toward him.

But Li Wei wasn’t the least bit worried.

He raised his hand and threw a blue Fireball.

The Fireball flew toward Tyr.

Tyr let out a cold laugh.

"Flying Object Reflection Technique!"

He pointed his Magic Staff.

The blue Fireball that was originally flying toward him reversed course and shot back at Li Wei.

This was a spell he had learned specifically for Li Wei.

It was meant to counter his astonishingly powerful Fireball Skill.

Tyr was going to make him taste his own medicine.

The blue Fireball and the Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin hit Li Wei one after the other.

The impacts were less than a second apart.

BOOM!

A fiery explosion erupted.

The Celestial Soaring Dragon Spin swept past, swallowing the flames.

Li Wei’s figure had vanished.

Not even bones remained?
