Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 503: What the hell is this power…?

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The ground not far off suddenly split open with a deafening rumble.

A massive creature, looking like some kind of monstrous turtle, slowly emerged from the shattered earth.

"Damn it, I’m too late!"

The beast let out a guttural growl as it crawled out, then immediately collapsed over the remains of The Infernal Flame Crawler, Vulkrith.

From the way it mourned, it was clear—they were close. Maybe even allies.

"You pathetic worms... You’ll pay for this today!"

"Ahhh!"

BOOOOOOMMMM—

A terrifying wave of power exploded outward.

Everything nearby began to turn to stone.

Ethan stumbled back several steps, eyes wide with alarm. He quickly pulled up his system interface.

"..."

"What the hell..."

Ethan’s pupils dilated.

This thing was a walking fortress.

Even if he and all his subordinates attacked together, they might not even scratch its defenses.

And its power... was off the charts.

It didn’t seem to have a single weakness.

"Fall back!" Ethan barked the order, already turning to retreat. This thing was way too overpowered.

But just as they were about to make their escape, they realized the space around them had been sealed off. Every exit was blocked by massive slabs of stone—there was no way out.

"You insects think you can run?" Karnok’s voice thundered.

BOOM!

The energy radiating from Karnok didn’t look flashy, but it was crushingly heavy—like entire mountain ranges were bearing down from above.

"Master, go! I’ll hold him off!" Cicero shouted, then charged forward without hesitation.

A surge of raw power burst from him as he collided with Karnok, the impact ringing out like a massive bell.

But it wasn’t enough.

Cicero was thrown back, his body skidding across the ground.

Ethan’s brow furrowed. He quickly ran another scan with the system, but still—no weaknesses. Nothing.

Just as panic started to creep in, Seraphina suddenly rose into the air, her body glowing with a radiant, unfamiliar energy.

BZZZZZZT—

The power surrounding her was divine—holy, even.

It made you want to kneel.

Ethan’s heart skipped a beat. He’d never seen anything like this.

And then, one by one, his other companions began to glow with the same light. It was spreading.

Looking closer, Ethan realized it wasn’t just any magic—it was some kind of strange Light Force, pure and sacred.

Even Karnok’s petrifying aura was being pushed back, unable to spread.

Some of the stone barriers were even starting to melt.

"This... this is impossible!" Karnok roared, eyes wide with disbelief. "You’re nothing but insects! How could you wield this kind of power?!"

His stone magic—his pride—had never been countered like this.

In a frenzy, Karnok leapt into the air, unleashing a burst of berserk energy as he dove straight at Seraphina.

WHAM!

Cicero saw it coming and rushed in to intercept.

But Karnok’s force was overwhelming.

Cicero was blasted away like a ragdoll, crashing hard into the ground.

"Watch out!"

Ethan’s heart nearly stopped.

He rushed forward and caught Cicero just in time, barely keeping him from hitting the ground too hard. Then, without hesitation, he began gathering energy, ready to intercept Karnok himself.

But—

Just as he was about to charge in, Karnok suddenly slammed into an invisible wall of divine energy radiating from Seraphina. He couldn’t move forward an inch.

Ethan froze in place, stunned.

"What the hell is this power...?"

He immediately pulled up Seraphina’s status window.

"...Holy shit."

Ethan’s jaw dropped.

No wonder. Seraphina had evolved—she was now a 14-Tier powerhouse, and she’d picked up some seriously terrifying new abilities.

And stat-wise? She was toe-to-toe with Karnok.

"All units—coordinate with Seraphina! Full assault!"

Ethan didn’t wait for a response. He charged forward, sword blazing with energy.

"Damn it! What’s happening?!" Karnok roared, panic creeping into his voice.

Among all the Dark Sovereign’s lieutenants, Karnok was considered one of the strongest. But now? His power was being suppressed—hard.

A huge chunk of his magic was being neutralized outright.

And that divine light pouring off Seraphina? It was like quicksand to him. Every movement felt sluggish, like he was dragging his limbs through cement. Forget attacking—he could barely move.
