What is the strongest defense?

Is it the Miracle of Earth Magic, forming unity with the earth?

Is it the Miracle of Water Magic, soft yet firm?

Is it the Miracle of Fire Technique, meeting offense with offense, burning everything?

Or is it the Miracle of Space, severing space completely to isolate? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Or perhaps, is it the Miracle of Time that can decay all forces, ravaging all that’s beautiful?

The answer Vidoria gives is—Fate!

If Fate wants to keep me, the world will naturally explain for me!

When Sonia exerted herself showing respect to her elders, the other operators were not idle. Vishi quietly initiated an infrasound Soul Scream, far below human hearing range, Diya’s gaze turned into substance binding Vidoria’s limbs, and Weiser’s silver light enveloped Vidoria’s entire body first!

Even if Vidoria activated the Holy Domain, it would be pointless. Aside from blocking the Blood Tide Sword Light, the Soul Scream, gaze threads, and silver light penetrate through sound, light, and even air. Unless Vidoria can instantly construct an absolute prohibition Holy Domain that repels all external information, her defense will certainly be breached!

In fact, Vidoria had no time to react. This type of high-intensity close-range encounter is her weakest situation. She is a typical Academic School mage with solid foundation, advancing step-by-step, with customary tactics of reconnaissance from afar by unleashing a Fish-Slicing Dragon, then bombarding the enemy from out of sight, leaving them to die in frustration wondering "who’s attacking me" and "who should I attack."

So when a mage like her faces a close-range surprise attack, only one outcome happens—

Miracle: Fate’s Promised Land!

With Vidoria’s thoughts arising, the space ring on her left hand emitted a scroll ten meters long, featuring an apocalyptic scene: a demon with double horns stirring up a sea of molten lava and meteor storm, ramparts and towers collapsing one after another, streets and roads shattering continuously, their numbers more than grains of sand, impossible to count even in three days and nights. For every second watched, another demon emerges... yet in this desolate apocalypse, at the scroll’s center bares a piece of serene land, untouched by any flame or demon, adorned with flowers, sunshine, and a vague silhouette. This silhouette has now transformed into Vidoria’s likeness.

In an instant, in front of painter appeared a Void Realm passage, flowing with waters from the Flowing Gold River, the earth began trembling, and space suddenly distorted and collapsed... she stood there not moving, but all of the evil mage squad’s attacks were canceled by various sudden natural phenomena, even the ceiling above and the ground below collapsed together, attempting to bury them alive!

This is the power of the Miracle of Fate, you don’t need to study how to defend against attacks. Just wish, and all things in the world, even enemies, will fulfill your desires!

As a legendary painter, Vidoria naturally has ample "anti-surprise attack plans." Beyond her vision is Vidoria’s most adept attack range, within five steps is Vidoria’s most intense burst area!

"Truly worthy of a principal."

The red-haired girl wielding a ruby longsword stepped on the Blood Tide Sword Light, carving out an unbeatable path amidst the collapsing rubble. She donned a storm gown woven from Sword Qi, where any material touching her was instantly ground to powder by the sword qi. Falling debris dissipated like raindrops upon her form, swirling at high speed upon the gown, bending and reflecting external light, making the Sword Maiden appear cloaked in an aura of dark silk, with only her blood-red eyes remaining distinct and bright, leading Vidoria to imagine seeing a bloodthirsty fiend crawling from the Abyss!

Wonder: Sword Blade Storm: Dark Silk Form!

Genius, Vidoria thought. This girl seems not yet twenty, yet so attuned to the battlefield as if a seasoned warrior, completely devoid of any trace of human sentiment... truly a born monster.

"Not being able to heed your teachings may be my greatest regret in my student days."

Her words brimmed with regret and respect, yet her Killing Intent was so fiery it almost became tangible!

"Using up the Fate Map that took me 450 days to paint upon meeting... you’re a student I cannot teach." Vidoria hurriedly retreated, pulling out two scrolls without the slightest intention of fighting desperately, only wishing to delay their actions.

Two scrolls, one illustrating mountain and sea phenomena, the other depicting the flow of sun and moon!

Vidoria spared not a bit of reluctance, directly taking out the precious "Universal Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire Scroll" alongside the "Universal Time and Space Scroll!" These two scrolls have no fixed effects, they evolve according to Vidoria’s demands, deriving the legendary powers she requires!

Scrolls quietly melted into the air like paint, unleashing the extreme power of miracles, converting space into a viscous mire, even time turned sluggish. In the slowly streaming moments, Vidoria looked up, witnessing this underground city crafted as a fortress, like disassembling blocks collapsing, feature meant to stand for a millennia becoming ruins within half a month’s construction.

This is the power of legendary scrolls, instantly capable of destroying an entire Abyss hall!

Vidoria’s thinking was exceptionally clear; she could not possibly hinder this team of sorcerers surpassing legendary level. Thus, she decisively employed time-space mire to slow their actions, then buried them with All Things Collapse, ensuring the timely arrival of other Dazzling Star legendary Holy Domains!
