680  The Dusk of the Bloody Invasion [10]


    Looking at the crimson sun, Zhao Tian''s gaze narrowed as a black glint passed through his eyes. ''Prime time.''


    Prime time - It is a technique using the laws of time by which he is able to go back in time 6 seconds within a radius of 10 meters.


    As the time flowed back, Zhao Tian took a deep breath and looked at Elvoria, who was about to unleash that Crimson Sun.


    ''I didn''t want to create a commotion by using this... but got no other choice.''


    *swoosh* He disappeared from his place, leaving a trail of dark energy and the next instant appeared in front of Elvoria.


    Elvoria''s gaze squinted as she felt something was off and instinctively raised her hand to block his slash.


    The moment her fingertip touched Zhao Tian''s blade, a burst of dark lightning surged through her veins, crawling through her body like a thousand tiny needles piercing into her flesh.


    ''Wha-''


    A violent tremor ran through her body, and for the first time, her Plurret-enhanced body faltered.


    The energy of dark lightning crackled along her limbs, disrupting the blood inscriptions on her skin.


    Zhao Tian teleported instantly, appearing beside Velnorah, who was still trapped in her suspended, half-existent state.


    Without hesitation, he grabbed her, pouring his own energy into her body, overriding the technique that had left her trapped between life and death.


    The moment their energies connected, Velnorah''s eyes flew open and she took sharp, desperate gasps as blood once again surged through her veins.


    Her body trembled as she instinctively reached for her scythe, feeling the weight of existence returning to her.


    "Haa.. Haa..." She had been mere seconds from dying... yet now she was back, alive, standing beside Zhao Tian.


    Zhao Tian lowered her gently onto the ground, his eyes filled with concern. "Velnorah, are you alright?"


    Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she swallowed hard, "Y-Yeah..."


    Above them, Elvoria''s eyes blazed in anger as the dark lightning crackled across her veins, but she quickly forced it out and regained control.


    "You..." she hissed, her voice dripping with anger and disbelief.


    "Darkness... how can a mere human wield that?"


    Zhao Tian turned to face her fully, his grip tightening on his sword ''I think I can get leverage in battle with Darkness...''


    A surge of black energy rippled from his body, merging with the lightning and fire that crackled along his limbs.


    Elvoria''s expression twisted in anger "You think your tricks will save you?"


    A thunderous explosion erupted as he reappeared directly in front of Elvoria with his sword coated in dark flames and his space domain expanded outward in a swirl, distorting the surroundings.


    The moment he slashed, his attack rippled through multiple layers, striking her body at different angles at once.


    Elvoria quickly reacted and her blood mist crown flared as she raised both her arms, forming a massive crimson barrier reinforced by thousands of vampiric sigils.


    *CLANG* The moment Zhao Tian''s blade connected, a shockwave tore through the air as the clash of dark flames and blood energy sent tremors through the domain.


    But Zhao Tian wasn''t done.


    The air howled as she reappeared instantly in front of them, her pale fingers coated in an aura of pulsating blood energy, shaped into razor-sharp claws.


    She lashed out at Zhao Tian first, her movement so fast that even his enhanced reflexes barely caught it in time.


    CLANG!


    His sword clashed against her claws, sparks exploding from the collision.


    The sheer force behind her attack sent a pain through his arms, his grip tightening on his blade as he pushed back, struggling to hold his ground.


    Velnorah lunged from the side, her scythe spinning in a wide arc, aiming to carve through her mother''s waist...


    But Elvoria twisted mid-air, her entire body liquefying into a swirl of crimson mist, effortlessly dodging the attack before reforming behind Velnorah in an instant.


    Before Velnorah could react, a solid knee smashed into her back.


    A loud CRACK echoed as she was sent hurtling downward, crashing into the ruined battlefield below.


    Zhao Tian''s blue eyes narrowed.


    The moment Elvoria turned to face him again, he teleported.


    A flicker of space distortion... then he reappeared directly above her.


    With a ferocious swing, he brought his sword down, infused with ''spatial compression'', aiming to carve straight through her shoulder.


    Elvoria raised her arm, blocking the blade with her forearm, and for a split second, time seemed to freeze as their powers clashed.


    A sudden, violent shockwave erupted between them, warping the air, and in that instant, Elvoria struck back.


    With inhuman speed, her free hand shot forward...


    Her clawed fingers pierced straight into Zhao Tian''s ribs.


    SHKKK!


    "Grghh..." Blood splattered through the air as her fingers dug into his side, stopping just before they could pierce into his organs.


    Zhao Tian gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain, and activated his teleportation again, shifting several meters away.


    But Elvoria wasn''t done.


    She whirled around mid-air, her leg slicing through the space between them, sending a blade of condensed blood energy slashing toward him.


    Zhao Tian''s reflexes kicked in and raised his sword just in time to deflect the attack, but the sheer power behind it still sent him skidding backward, his boots grinding against the fractured battlefield.


    Before she could press her advantage, Velnorah rejoined the fight.
