The sudden, violent collision immediately dealt Al'Dariss a serious blow. His eyes blackened, limbs splayed towards the sky, and he was thrown back in utter disarray, feeling as if his mouth had met the dirt; his face was smeared with grime, just as Fang Senyan had felt when struck in the Caribbean world.

Yet, a deep blue shield, flowing with substantial radiance, materialized across Al'Dariss’s body. Even Reef couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy hell, this idiot actually boosted his Mental Shield past LV4?"

Al'Dariss rolled up from the ground instantly, showing no sign of defeat; instead, his eyes burned with excitement. "GooD! Again!" he declared, even wiping a trickle of blood from his nose. This action drew a burst of laughter from the onlookers, and even the Colonizers began to shake their heads slightly. Prince Stallo completely closed his eyes, thinking he should never have listened to Ai’er’o’si and agreed to let such a fool take the stage. Ai’er’o’si was also a fool, perhaps making this recommendation after seeking solace in narcotics following his own defeat!

"Chirp," at that moment, Fang Senyan suddenly detected an indescribably sharp aura emanating from Al'Dariss’s body. Fang Senyan also noted that the blood Al'Dariss flicked to the ground landed on the grass, gathering like rubies on the blades, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

"Zi," who had seized the initiative, did not lower her guard. She swept her hand across the crystal ball again before looking into it. This time, even Zi’s expression shifted, for the crystal ball shockingly displayed an extremely bizarre scene: four distinct Al'Darisses charged towards her simultaneously from the southeast, west, and north! Furthermore, the northern charge was even more ferocious and resolute than the last time—the feeling was that of a man charging forward with his blade right behind him, possessing a desperate fervor for mutual destruction!

If Al'Dariss's first charge felt like a blend of speed and trickery, this second assault felt like the biting, relentless gale of the far north, rushing forward into a battlefield ignited by blood and fire!

Witnessing this bizarre spectacle, Zi’s demeanor instantly grew grave. A hexagonal Mental Energy Crystal floating near her burst apart, transforming into specks of crystalline light that fed back into her body. This time, Zi merely extended a single finger, pointing directly at the sky!

Immediately, infinite suction began to manifest in front of, behind, above, and below Zi, and precisely four Origin Force Barriers formed around her right, front, back, and left. At this moment, Al'Dariss was already charging directly at Zi—however, upon reaching about thirty meters away, three other Al'Darisses strangely appeared from the other three directions, joining the main body to form four attackers surging towards Zi!

Clearly, Al'Dariss could not be four entities; three of them must be illusions!

Thus, when most people face such a situation, they are forced to take a multiple-choice test: discerning the true body among the four Al'Darisses! And the time allowed to solve this problem was less than two seconds.

But Zi didn't take the test; her response was to simply rip up the entire examination paper handed to her by the test-setter!

Four transparent Origin Force Barriers slammed directly towards the four Al'Darisses. The result was that the northern Al'Dariss was violently thrown back again, his nose broken and bleeding, while the other three illusions naturally vanished instantly.

Origin Force Barrier, High-Frequency Oscillation!

Hark, standing next to Fang Senyan, suddenly remarked, "Zi is being very cautious today. She’d rather expend extra mental energy than let this guy get close. It seems this fellow is putting considerable pressure on her."

However, what occupied Fang Senyan’s mind was something else entirely: why would Al'Dariss want Zi to be at her peak condition? Fang Senyan absolutely did not believe in gentlemanly conduct or chivalric spirit; the chance of such an idiot appearing was one in ten thousand, and since he had already struck gold by encountering one (Reef glared furiously, "Damn, you again!"), he shouldn't encounter a second one!

From this, it could be inferred that Al'Dariss actually gained an advantage by facing the fully prepared "Zi"... This deduction sounded preposterous at first, but upon deeper thought, it wasn't entirely impossible...

Al'Dariss sighed, shaking his head as he stood up again, wryly wiping the blood from his nose and flicking it to the ground, appearing utterly dejected. He then prepared to attack again!

At this point, Zi was not careless either. She continued to gaze into her crystal ball and saw that Al'Dariss was preparing to unleash that same ability again—dividing into three illusions for a four-pronged assault—charging forward wildly. Zi didn't find this brute-force approach troublesome; she had immense confidence in her abilities. How many Origin Force Barrier collisions could Al'Dariss withstand? Even with the strongest magic shield defense, she must have already depleted one and a half of his life bars. How much blood did he have left to spill?

For Fang Senyan, whose perception surpassed Al'Dariss’s, the data was precise: Al'Dariss could withstand, at most, two more Origin Force Barrier collisions; the third would inevitably plunge him into a weakened state!

However, Zi frowned at this moment. She vaguely sensed something was amiss, as the predictive window for the crystal ball this time was too short. It only showed the four Al'Darisses charging forward before cutting off. The time read from the crystal ball had bizarrely shrunk by at least a third.

But time was pressing, and Zi made up her mind to engage in a positional battle with Al'Dariss. She immediately pointed her finger towards the sky, charging up again: Origin Force Barrier, High-Frequency Oscillation!

Charge, unleash!

Four wide, invisible barriers swept out, crashing heavily against the Al'Darisses who continued to attack from all four directions. But—but! All four Al'Darisses simultaneously vanished into thin air—all four were illusions?!

Where was the real body?

The space in front of, behind, above, and below Zi had been swept by powerful Origin Force Barriers. Therefore, the only remaining threat... must be in the air!

Exactly! Al'Dariss descended like a predatory hawk, diving straight down!

His downward momentum was incredibly fierce, causing the wind rushing toward him to be intensely sharp and brutal, whipping his hair, outer garments, and cloak backward. At this moment, the man raised both arms, the muscle contours on his biceps clearly visible against the force of the wind. This made him exude a striking sharpness, as if flying against the very gale!

In Al'Dariss's hands, there now materialized a dagger about forty centimeters long. This dagger exuded an aura of profound seduction and wickedness, resembling the tusk of a great beast.

The center of the blade featured a shallow groove, and the cutting edge shone with a faint dark red, likely stained by blood from countless killings. The hilt was ivory-white, and the dagger as a whole shimmered with a faint green light—a glow Fang Senyan had never seen before.

Hark involuntarily gasped, "Could this be a growth-type pale green weapon?"

Al'Dariss's five fingers bent like hooks, gripping the dagger's hilt tightly. As Zi entered his attack range, a light flashed in his eyes. With a forceful squeeze, the dagger ignited with fierce blue flames, yet the edges of the flames were tinged with a soot-like gray-black, creating a bizarre, interwoven blue-black effect.

Some contractors with weaker mental fortitude and intelligence felt their minds begin to drown just by gazing at the flame, as if being deeply sucked into it!

Zi was currently in the recovery period after releasing her ability; she had no time to evade. Seeing the blue-black flaming dagger thrusting directly at her neck, she calmly closed her eyes.

The two hexagonal mental energy crystals floating beside her immediately drifted out, tracing arcane arcs to shield the vital area of her throat. Simultaneously, Zi activated her Mental Shield as well. A blue barrier instantly enveloped her body.

But at this moment, Al'Dariss suddenly twisted his wrist, slicing past Zi's neck, and drove the uncanny bone dagger, trailing blue-black flame, straight into the deep blue crystal ball.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze.

One could feel an indescribable clash of forces between the bone dagger and the crystal ball—an immensely violent impact. A blinding explosion erupted instantly, its dazzling light illuminating the entire area. The crystal-clear crystal ball shattered into thousands of fragments, scattering everywhere, looking as if an instant shower of ice rain had descended—dreamlike and unparalleled!

Al'Dariss's target was, astonishingly, that crystal ball item capable of predicting enemy movements!! This immediately explained why Zi could no longer see subsequent events; the crystal ball had foreseen its own demise and naturally could no longer make predictions.

Faced with this unexpected turn, Zi’s face instantly paled. A fierce rage flared in her eyes. Her left hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and specks of colorless light spilled from the gaps between her fingers. That light rapidly floated forward, gathering at Al'Dariss's feet.

At that moment, Al'Dariss swept his dagger across in a horizontal slash, but Zi waved her hand, causing Al'Dariss to be flung violently into the distance. The bone dagger carved a blue-black afterimage less than ten centimeters from Zi's face, only to fall into the distance with clear reluctance.

Origin Force Convergence Throw!
