"Whoosh, whoosh—"
A strange meteor emitting terrifying energy fluctuations broke through the clouds, trailing a golden-red tail flame, and headed straight for the Eye Demon.
As the meteor approached, sensing the bizarre red elemental energy on it, a chill of horror surged into its heart.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
If this meteor hits, its fate won't be much better than when it first emerged from the Abyss and got caught in the turmoil.
"Run! I must escape!" The Eye Demon didn't even consider attacking the meteor, it turned and fled towards the depths of the Endless Sea.
It was afraid.
At this moment, the other Fourth Ring Demons finally noticed the incoming meteor.
"Who sent out that meteor?"
"A meteor without the Power of Origin, why does it give me a fatal sense of threat?"
"Hmph, what is this? I'll blast it apart."
"I'm in too."
...
The Fourth Ring Demons reacted differently upon seeing the meteor.
Some demons chose to evade, while others unleashed various Abyssal Energy attacks, targeting the descending meteor.
"Whoosh, whoosh—"
More than twenty Abyssal Energy attacks simultaneously aimed at the meteor.
At this moment, the meteor abruptly turned, continuing to fall in the direction of the fleeing Eye Demon.
Only five of the twenty-plus Abyssal Energy attacks actually hit the meteor.
At the same time, the golden light on the meteor's surface shone brightly, forming part of a Golden Defense Shield on its surface.
"Boom, crack—"
Five Abyssal Energy attacks struck the Golden Defense Shield, breaking it instantly and heavily impacting the meteor's surface.
"Crack—"
The gold and red meteor split open with five fissures of varying lengths, ranging between three to five miles.
Compared to the meteor's diameter of over a hundred miles, it was merely a superficial wound.
"It's indestructible; this meteor's power is likely at the high-end of the Fourth Ring level."
"This meteor seems to be targeting Haral?"
"It's really strange; it can change its energy trajectory midway."
"I hope it won't cause any trouble."
"Let's follow and take a look."
"Alright."
The Fourth Ring Demons, with grave expressions, faced the receding meteor with a sense of helplessness.
Although the attacks of five Fourth Ring Demons caused some damage to the meteor, they all knew that damage was pointless.
Judging by the meteor's descending speed, even if all twenty-plus attacks hit it, at most they would peel off a layer of its surface.
If Haral truly encountered an accident, it meant they too would be threatened by this meteor lacking the Power of Origin.
Resolving their decision, the Fourth Ring Demons no longer attacked the continent, but flew towards the direction of Haral's escape.
...
"Why did these demons suddenly leave?"
"Did something happen?"
"Look quickly, what is that?!"
Inside the Defense Shield of the continent, neither Single Element Mage nor Multi-Element Mage initially understood the demons' actions.
Their perception was only over a thousand miles, unable to discover why the demons had left.
Until a mage, through the spaceship always in panoramic mode, looked up at the sky and saw with the naked eye that meteor trailing golden-red light rapidly falling into the Endless Sea.
"Is that... a meteor?"
"Could it be Meteor Witch... Legislator Lole is here?"
"That's impossible; Legislator Lole shouldn't have broken through to the Fourth Ring so quickly. Without that breakthrough, it's impossible to provoke such a strong reaction from those Fourth Ring Demons."
"Right, it's only been ten years since Legislator Lole teamed with Speaker Yasen to kill the Horned Demon, breaking through to the Fourth Ring isn't so easy."
"So how do we explain this meteor?"
Mages rapidly communicated through mental transmission but couldn't come to any conclusion, leaving them looking at each other in confusion.
...
Endless Sea.
The moment Eye Demon Haral noticed the meteor could turn, it initially wanted to try attacking.
However, seeing the five energy attacks from the other Fourth Ring Demons only caused superficial damage to the meteor, it abandoned the idea and chose defense instead.
It gritted its teeth, and dense Abyssal Energy surged in its large eye, combining with the Power of Origin to instantly form a dark barrier with blood-red streaks beside it.
It wasn't skilled in defense, and the strength of the barrier it created was generally at the initial Fourth Ring level.
But that's not the point, the point lay in the Power of Origin.
As long as the Power of Origin wasn't exhausted, it was confident this defense barrier could withstand Fifth Ring attacks without the Power of Origin.
After constructing a barrier, the Eye Demon looked at the strange meteor only two thousand miles away, still uneasy, and constructed two more barriers.
As the Eye Demon just finished constructing three defense barriers, the meteor simultaneously struck the third barrier.
"Sizzle—"
The Power of Annihilation on the meteor slightly radiated red light, instantly obliterating the large amount of Power of Origin on the barrier.
"Crack, crack—"
The meteor, bolstered by the War God List and Gravity Technique's dual overlap, reached an impact force of 4.6 rings, easily shattering the defense barrier without the Power of Origin.
"How is this possible?" Haral looked at the three barriers constructed with three-tenths of the Power of Origin, shattered by the meteor, and his eyes filled with despair and disbelief.
This meteor was entirely beyond his expectations; in the face of it, the Power of Origin was as fragile as paper.
"Bang—Splash—Boom—"
The meteor crashed heavily onto the Eye Demon's head, directly smashing it into the sea, causing an enormous wave, then violently exploding.
A massive amount of seawater was vaporized, as more water surged around, creating towering waves.
Amid these surging waves, many patches of sea stained red continuously churned.
"Haral's Power of Origin... is completely extinguished." Seven thousand miles away, a Bone Demon murmured in disbelief.
"It was merely a witchcraft without the aura of origin, how could it completely erase Haral?"
"Yes, it's clearly impossible, but Haral is indeed dead."
"These mages are far more bewildering than the recorded gods."
"Escape, we can't stay in this continent."
"Right, flee, let's seek other continents."
...
The Fourth Ring Demons were all frightened by this strange meteor; even without the Power of Origin, it managed to kill Haral, exceeding their comprehension.
After a brief exchange, they scattered in all directions.
This kind of strange event instilled more fear in them than a Five-Ring Mage.
When a Five-Ring Mage visits Betula Continent, they'll leave for a while, but dare to return to test the waters once the mage departs.
Once confirming the Five-Ring Mage's departure, they carry on as usual, for a true intent to annihilate them from a Five-Ring Mage would require a lot of time without wasting Power of Origin.
But having witnessed this Meteor Witchcraft, they didn't have the slightest thought of returning.
...
At the edge of Betula Continent, aboard an injured spaceship nestled within the Wood Element Legion.
"Everyone look, Legislator Lole's war achievements just suddenly increased by a billion!" A Spiritual Power voice suddenly resonated, covering the entire legion.
