Witchcraft Counterattack

In just a few minutes, Zhang Ye and Lorelei had exchanged blows several times. Though both were wizards, neither was weak in close combat. The Winds of Calamity and corrosive curses continuously collided and canceled each other out, leaving crack after crack across the surrounding ground.

Magical energy dripped onto the ground, instantly hissing like sulfuric acid as it corroded the surface and released a stench unbearable to ordinary people.

Seizing an opening, Zhang Ye thrust his umbrella forward. The Winds of Calamity suddenly surged, shredding Lorelei’s body into pieces, yet there was not the slightest hint of joy on Zhang Ye’s face.

The sensation transmitted from the umbrella’s tip to his hand was wrong. Zhang Ye knew that his strike had not truly hit her.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Lorelei’s body glowed dark green before vanishing into nothingness right in front of him.

Zhang Ye reacted quickly as well. Sensing danger coming from behind, he swiftly turned and raised the Black Umbrella before him. Then a tremendous force struck, driving Zhang Ye back two steps.

"Witchcraft clone? I thought that was Loki’s usual magic." Zhang Ye sneered.

"Aren’t you curious who taught Loki his magic, darling?" Lorelei licked her lips and smiled seductively.

"Either way, it wasn’t you."

A laser suddenly shot from Zhang Ye’s umbrella tip, catching Lorelei completely off guard. As an Asgardian, her body was far tougher than that of ordinary creatures, but Zhang Ye’s technological umbrella was no ordinary item either. Its laser weaponry had been industry-certified by Batman.

The crimson laser struck Lorelei squarely in the shoulder, leaving an obvious burn on her smooth, pale skin.

Lorelei cried out in pain. Then she flicked her delicate hand, and an incomparably fierce burst of magical energy erupted. Dark-green energy streaked through the air, cracking the ground along its path as weeds growing from crevices in the stones rapidly withered beneath it.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye did not dare let his guard down. Gray Winds of Calamity swiftly formed a vortex around him, blocking all of the terrifying magic that devoured life force.

Two inexplicably terrifying energies gathered in the air and clashed without pause. The destructive force erupting from their collision sent everything nearby flying.

The area where Zhang Ye and Lorelei fought had become a vacuum zone across the battlefield. Forget interfering—no one else even dared approach it.

Whether it was the Winds of Calamity or corrosive witchcraft, neither was Black Magic that ordinary people could withstand. Anyone who rashly approached would have the life energy instantly drained from their body, becoming a dried corpse.

"I didn’t know you were interested in technology too, Black Wizard. You’ve made me angry now." Lorelei’s eyes flashed with frightening green light. Having her shoulder injured by Zhang Ye filled her with immense rage.

"Like it? I learned it from Doom," Zhang Ye replied calmly, though his movements to channel magic did not stop in the slightest.

Staring at Zhang Ye’s strange Bird-Beak Mask, Lorelei gritted her teeth in hatred. She knew that his magical skill was not much weaker than hers, and in the wasteland world, fighting a war of attrition through witchcraft was absolutely no easy task.

To end this battle as quickly as possible, she needed a decisive blow—she had to control a powerful being and crush him utterly.

With that thought, Lorelei steeled herself. She closed her eyes and rapidly chanted forbidden incantations that ordinary people could neither perceive nor comprehend.

Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. He could clearly sense the surrounding magical energy becoming solidified and uncontrollable. Though he did not know what Lorelei was preparing, it was obviously nothing good.

Powerful energy surged into the sky. Explosive dark-green light tore apart the thick, pitch-black clouds, and a powerful aura instantly poured out from within them, pressing down so heavily that everyone present struggled to breathe.

A markable transmission point is opening. Would you like to record it or force it shut down?

Miss Minutes’ voice sounded beside Zhang Ye’s ear, making him raise an eyebrow.

It could even be forcibly shut down?

Can you detect the strength of the creature on the other side of the transmission point?

Tearing open a dimensional passage in this world was no easy feat. Zhang Ye could hardly imagine how much Asgardian dark arcane energy Lorelei had needed to gather, but it was clearly good news for him.

The transmission point has not been recorded and cannot be archived. However, divine power and faith energy have been detected. There is a high probability that it is the "Divine Realm" of this timeline.

The Divine Realm?

Now Zhang Ye was fully awake. He truly wanted to see what legendary being Lorelei intended to summon after paying such a tremendous price.

At this moment, almost everyone on the battlefield had stopped moving. The terrifying phenomenon in the sky drew every gaze. Whether it was Zhang Ye’s side or the Villain Alliance, everyone stared fixedly at the heavens.

None of them had ever imagined that Lorelei possessed a trump card of this level. Though she had always been someone not to be provoked, they had never actually seen her fight with all her strength.

Dark-green energy filled the clouds, twisting and blending with the heavy black mass as it churned continuously. From within the clouds came peals of muffled thunder.

Yet no one looked at ease, because they knew that this so-called thunder had no corresponding lightning. Rather than thunder, it sounded more like the low roar of some unknown existence.

"Witch Raven, she looks like she’s about to release something. We can’t let her complete the spell!" Ashley shouted from afar when she saw Zhang Ye making no move at all.

But Zhang Ye ignored her. Likewise, after their initial confusion, Kara and Pietro immediately realized what was happening. They turned and caught their opponents off guard while they were still stunned.

"Hey! I’m talking to you! Did you hear me? Once that thing descends, we’re all finished! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Ashley felt the venom on her body begin to tremble, and she immediately shouted again.

Ashley continued yelling warnings at Zhang Ye, but Blood Baron beside her had begun to understand.

Didn’t she see that the wizard’s two subordinates were not worried at all? And that wizard himself was completely calm, without the slightest sign of panic? That clearly meant they were not afraid at all!

Since they were not afraid, why should he meddle in this? Taking this chance to deal with his opponent was the right thing to do.

Thus, while Wild Child was distracted, Blood Baron suddenly lunged forward. His sharp nails dug deeply into Wild Child’s eyes, instantly drawing a miserable scream from him.

"Don’t look around during a fight!"
