Even though she knew that her desperate struggle was highly likely to fail, she didn’t have much of a choice now.
At this moment, the only option she had was to plunge into danger and fight for survival, putting herself on the line and hoping for a comeback!
"..."
The man in the black robe had anticipated her actions and was prepared. He waves his sleeve and a giant black chain, seemingly predicting Sigrid’s action, quickly lashes out towards her.
She tried to evade it, but the chain followed her like a shadow, entangling her arms and torso in an instant. The shock jolted her body as she struggled to break away, but the more she struggled, the tighter the chain bound her.
At this moment, Asksan had finished preparing his round of magic.
He extended his finger and pointed in Sigrid’s direction, condensing hundreds of magic circles that nearly covered the entire ruins of Bandera City. The cold light radiating from the circles seemed to freeze everything in sight.
Sigrid felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, tightly bound by the chains and unable to move.
"Huff..."
She took a deep breath, which seemed to be her last sigh. The silver glow on her body once again lit up, more radiant than ever before. Anyway, this was her last fight. Her vitality was immediately ignited and turned into a blazing silver flame.
The flames fiercely burnt the chains, trying to melt them. A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black, but it was soon replaced by a sense of certainty -
Sigrid was finally forced into making her last desperate move.
No matter how strong Sigrid’s burst was, she was at the end of her tether. As long as they were prepared, neither he nor Asksan had any chance of being hit by her!
However.
Just as they were about to clash.
From far away, a streak of silver light seized this temporal rift and fell at the edge of the Abyss Black Worm like a shooting star.
After Sigrid made every effort to shift the battlefield, the Abyss Black Worm had long been some distance from Asksan and the man in the black robe!
The long-standing intruder finally grasped this rare opportunity to get here.
After the Silver Glow Doll had put down Lanci, he stood alone at the edge of the Abyss Black Worm. Under such heavy pressure, Cat Boss was frightened, finding it difficult to breathe, and his heart ached.
Lanci’s gaze was resolute, his target clear. The devastating energy fluctuations in the battlefield, the thunderous roar, everything around him seemed irrelevant to him.
In his eyes, there was only this eighth-order epic summon that had forced Sigrid into a bitter battle.
"Hiss —"
The disc-shaped Abyss Black Worm floating in the air was the expanding twisted crack in the battlefield. The cold void-air it fills the air with made people uncomfortable, and the bone-chilling cold seemed as if it was the gateway to an unknown destructive land that humans have never seen or even imagined.
Lanci’s steps felt like he was walking on marshland, and when he was this close, the numerous eyes on the Abyss Black Worm were all staring at Lanci.
In its perception, Lanci was just an insignificant little bug, not even an invader.
However, Lanci paid no heed to the eerie air and malicious intent radiating from the Abyss Black Worm, his eyes only showed love.
On the other side of the battlefield.
A faint smile of relief appeared on Sigrid’s face.
She knew that her Saint Heir is not a person lacking courage. He could maintain his usual calm demeanor at this moment and fight the final battle against the enemy with her.
"..."
Seeing that it was Sigrid’s [Mind Power Doll] that had returned, Asksan and the man in the black robe reached a consensus on the battle tactics in an instant. They just need to focus on Sigrid, who was on the verge of defeat. They must not be distracted by any feint tactics and give Sigrid an opportunity to exploit!
No one would worry that an Abyss Black Worm, an epic summoner of the eighth-order, would be influenced by a simple Saint of Hegemony and a Mind Power Doll through spells or tools.
Only an top-ranked sealer like Asksan could unlock the Abyss Black Worm without paying a painful price!
Even the Saint of Nirvana of the sixth-order doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance at sealing an eighth-order epic summon. Mortals of the seventh-order and below seemed too insignificant in front of the Abyss Black Worm.
Beneath the Abyss Black Worm.
Lanci raised his hand, revealing a slight glow. That was a small magic item, emitting a strange light.
It was an orange semi-transparent card, not the usual solid texture, the entire card looked elusive, between physical and non-physical. The magic runes on it circulated on the card like a beating heart, flickering with unstable luster. It was trembling slightly, as if its frequency was different from this world.
Until Lanci let it go.
That magic card glowed brighter and brighter. It was unlike the regular magic cards, more like intertwined spirals, emanating an ancient and mysterious power.
The released magic card broke into spirals separating from each other, forming a large vortex. The surrounding light was bent, attracted, and torn apart until it accelerated and stabilized into shape. A crack was cut open in the whirlpool, revealing its true form - a gigantic wolf. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Red runes that appeared and moved around like a space-time fault layer, were wandering on its dark, profound body.
In this gloomy ruined city abyss, it was radiating heaven-opening red lines, each line was flickering and breathing, like a rift from another dimension.
At the changes on the Abyss Black Worm’s side, the man in the black robe and Asksan only had contempt in their eyes.
Although there was no way to identify and no spare energy to try to identify the property of this Epic Orange card for the time being, a tiny Saint of Hegemony was not a big deal.
The next second.
When the wolf’s claw heavily struck the body of the Abyss Black Worm, the Abyss Black Worm, which had never budged, actually made a piercing, earth-shaking scream.
"!"
Almost simultaneously, Asksan and the man in the black robe turned their heads with a touch of shock in their eyes.
They have never felt that the Abyss Black Worm could be so painful and fearful!
Only Lanci understood the capability of this Nuclear Fusion Wolf.
[Nuclear Fusion Wolf]
[Category: Summon Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Rank: 4]
[Effect: When attacking a summon or equipment, it can seal it back into the magic card state and devour it for 10 seconds. Cooldown 10 minutes.

After explosion all magic cards cannot be used again for 30 days.]
[Note: I am now the Death God, the destroyer of the world.]
The Abyss Black Worm struggles to escape, but after being successfully hunted by the Nuclear Fusion Wolf, it’s like an ant and an elephant have exchanged roles. The moment the Nuclear Fusion Wolf opened its mouth, the black worm was forcibly twisted and sealed until it turned back into the flickering cocoon-like magic card!
The instant the Nuclear Fusion Wolf devoured it, the Abyss Black Worm’s screams and noisy noises completely disappeared from the battlefield.
The oppressive feeling on Sigrid disappeared instantly, she seemed also astonished that Lanci could temporarily erase the [Abyss Black Worm] from the battlefield.
At that moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!
At this moment, Lanci, like a puppet master with his hands raised, proudly displayed his grand sealing skill to the other side of the battlefield as if telling Asksan and the man in the black robe: I am the Super Removal Saint.
