at the same time.

After defeating the blizzard, Zhou Huai controlled six clones, which, like a sharp knife, plunged straight into the mountaintop.

As the distance closed, the figure in the white suit became clearly visible.

There was no emotion in Zhou Huai's eyes, only a chilling killing intent.

There's no time to waste on this watchdog.

Kill them quickly!

Gandalf, positioned at the back of the group, didn't utter a single unnecessary word.

The moment he saw Koch, he had already raised his staff high.

At the top of the ancient staff, a dark green gem suddenly lit up, emitting a chilling, eerie light.

The obscure and rapid incantation was completed instantly on the spiritual level.

【Forbidden Spell: Meteor Shower】!

Rumble—!

The sky, which had just regained its clarity, was torn apart once again.

A dozen or so enormous meteorites, burning with dark green flames and trailing long tails, crashed down on Koch with an aura of utter destruction.

Despite the devastating power of the forbidden spell, Kochi, the man in the white suit, remained unfazed.

He didn't even move his feet, but slowly raised his right hand and made a "lifting" motion towards the void.

Buzz—!

An invisible wave spread out instantly.

Then, something astonishing happened.

Those meteorites, carrying immense force and capable of leveling a mountain, were abruptly suspended in mid-air less than ten meters above Koch's head!

It was as if an invisible hand was holding them all up steadily.

The dark green flames continued to burn fiercely, crackling and popping, but they could not advance even an inch further.

"Here you go."

Koch's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly waved his hand.

Whoosh whoosh!

Upon hearing the command, the stationary meteorites instantly changed direction and hurled back at Caesar and his men at an even greater speed than before.

Faced with the forbidden spell that turned against him, Zhou Huai reacted with lightning speed.

"Yasuo!"

A golden bolt of lightning instantly broke away from the group.

Yasuo, sword in hand, moved with lightning speed, charging towards the oncoming meteor shower.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sword light shimmered like silk, and thunder roared.

The dozen or so huge meteorites were sliced ​​into countless pieces in mid-air, with dark green flames scattering everywhere, but they couldn't harm Yasuo in the slightest.

Just as the last meteorite was shattered.

Yasuo didn't retract his longsword; instead, he suddenly pointed it at Koch in the distance.

【The Mark of Thor】!

Sizzle—!

Yasuo's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second.

A blinding bolt of lightning exploded right next to Koch!

Teleportation!

This is Yasuo's most domineering initiation skill; wherever his gaze falls, his sword will be aimed.

"cut!"

Yasuo's longsword, imbued with the power of raging lightning, swept towards Koch's neck.

This sword strike was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a thunderbolt.

Although Koch was somewhat surprised by the opponent's bizarre teleportation ability, as an SS-rank powerhouse of the Dawn Guild, his reaction speed was also astonishingly fast.

His skill is 【Object Manipulation】, which allows him to manipulate not only external objects but also himself.

Just as the sword was about to touch his skin, Koch's body lost gravity and shifted backward several meters at an extremely strange angle, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"That was close."

Koch's eyes turned slightly cold as he prepared to retaliate.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis rose up from my spine.

That's the smell of death!

Without anyone noticing, Moria, who should have been far away, appeared silently behind him using 【Shadow Jump】.

It was as if Koch's own shadow had suddenly come to life.

Moria's pale fingers had transformed into jet-black claws, which slashed viciously down towards Koch's back.

【Shadow Claw】!

This attack was too stealthy and too sudden.

Even with Koch's quick reflexes, he couldn't completely avoid this sneak attack from a blind spot.

Tear!

The sound of sharp claws tearing through cloth and flesh rang out.

Koch's once spotless white suit was instantly torn, and five deep, bone-revealing bloody gashes appeared on his left arm, with black blood splattering out.

"Get out of my way!"

A violent glint flashed in Koch's injured eyes.

He roared and suddenly spread his arms wide to the sides.

boom!

A terrifying repulsive force erupted from him, forcibly repelling Yasuo and Moria, who were preparing to give chase.

He clutched his bleeding arm, his face horribly grim.

He got injured.

Its noble body was injured by two ants.

"Since you all like close combat so much..."

"Then you can stay in the cage!"

Koch clasped his hands together abruptly, then pulled them outwards.

Buzz—!

The surrounding air froze instantly.

Countless transparent walls of air appeared out of nowhere, like invisible cages, trapping Yasuo and Moria inside.

【Air Cage】!

Yasuo swung his sword, and the sword energy struck the invisible wall, producing a metallic clang, leaving only a shallow white mark.

However, while he controlled Yasuo, he couldn't control Moria. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With a simple shadow leap, Moria could easily escape using the power of shadow and launch another attack on Koch.

Koch frowned, a sense of absurdity washing over him.

Something's not right!

This is really not right!

How come everyone here has SS-level strength?

Where did all these SS-rank rank items come from?

As a core member of the Dawn Guild, he has a thorough understanding of high-level combat forces worldwide.

Each of the SS-level powerhouses is a strategic-level nuclear weapon, and there are detailed records of them.

But these few people in front of me.

The one playing with shadows, the one playing with grenades, and the one shooting arrows in the distance...

Apart from the young man in the star-moon robe who looked somewhat like Gandalf, the newly promoted SS-level forbidden spellcaster of the Great Xia Kingdom, everyone else was a complete stranger!

How could so many wild SS-class ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) creatures suddenly appear in this world?

And they even appear in clusters like cabbages?

However, before he could figure it out...

Then they heard Gandalf's voice coming from the sky.

【Forbidden Spell: Gravity Field!】

The current gravitational field technology has undergone several rounds of upgrades.

The effect was 50 times greater.

Gandalf's staff slammed heavily into the air.

Buzz—!!!

A transparent ripple, visible to the naked eye, suddenly descended from the sky, centered on Koch.

That wasn't ordinary magical fluctuation; it was a distortion of the rules.

The space within a radius of 100 meters seemed to collapse instantly.

The snowflakes that were originally dancing in the air were suddenly slammed down as if by an invisible giant hand, crashing vertically to the ground at bullet speed.

"Hmm!"

Koch felt as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on his shoulders.

His once straight spine bent instantly, his knees made a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, and his exquisite and expensive white suit clung tightly to his skin under the terrifying pressure of gravity, leaving bloody marks.

Fifty times the force of gravity!

What does this mean?

This means that every drop of blood, every bone, and even his eyeballs in his body have to bear fifty times his own weight!

If it were an ordinary person, they would turn into a pile of minced meat the moment this spell took effect.

Even though he was an SS-level expert with a physique far exceeding that of ordinary people, he felt as if he had been thrown into the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters.

Koch gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

He tried to raise his arm, but the simple action felt as heavy as a mountain.

Zhou Huai looked down at him with a sneer: "You like manipulating objects? Let's see if you can still do that under fifty times gravity!"
