This shockwave carried a terrifying hidden meaning. Unlike energy, it didn’t have an overly strong destructive power, but it bore a pressure akin to Law, ignoring all defenses and piercing directly through the illusionary realm that Angel had set up.
This illusionary realm, created by 03’s "Watermark Space," suddenly turned into foam at this moment.
The golden pool dissipated, the crystal area vanished, and the sofa seats all turned into mirages.
The disappearance of the illusionary realm directly dropped everyone into the mist.
Because the illusion vanished too suddenly, and coupled with the wave of pressure similar to the suppression of the Law still lingering around, everyone was initially caught off guard, including the Pioneer of the illusionary realm, Angel, who was also in a state of bewilderment.
After two or three seconds, the power of the wave began to weaken, and only then did everyone regain their senses.
The first thing Angel did upon regaining his senses was to look towards the previous location of 03.
also regained her clarity at this moment. Without the constraint of the illusionary realm, her eyes suddenly brightened, and water ripples began to appear around her.
Clearly, 03 was preparing to enter the real "Watermark" this time.
Before this, suppressed by Sanders’ strength, 03 had always dared not to act recklessly. But now, owing to the unexpected disappearance of the illusion, 03 naturally chose to leave.
Only by entering the Watermark, did 03 believe she could be completely safe.
"Don’t even think about running!" Nis and Ferro also saw 03’s actions and, without hesitation, launched attacks on 03 simultaneously.
Nis summoned a gigantic skeletal hand from the ground, aiming it towards 03.
Ferro crushed three fireball clusters, which turned into three fiercely burning blazing arrows, shooting towards 03.
Even Angel, hidden in the shadows, was manipulating the illusion nodes within the space, preparing to use the illusionary realm to control 03 once again.
However, just at this moment, the rumbling sound, once again accompanied by a wave imbued with the suppression of the Law, rushed into this mist.
Facing this totally unreasonable suppression of the Law, all attacks halted at this moment.
The skeletal hand froze mid-air, the blazing arrows skewed off their targets, and even Angel’s illusionary realm failed halfway through its formation.
Although their attacks were ineffective, the wave didn’t distinguish between friend or foe; it treated 03 the same way, shattering the water ripples around her in the process.
Since the wave continued to rumble and spread, everyone was momentarily frozen.
However, 03 could feel that everyone’s attention was focused on her, and once the wave’s constraint was lifted, she would certainly become the primary target.
For self-preservation, 03 knew very well that she had to dodge before everyone laid hands on her.
"The compensation I proposed earlier is still valid," 03 suddenly spoke, "My Watermark Space has movement limitations. Once I enter it, I can only operate within a hundred meters nearby. If you let me into the Watermark, I can’t leave from here."
"I will immediately deliver compensation as soon as 01 and 02 return."
Nis sneered, "Do you think we would believe you?"
Ferro added, "Without the Truism Spells, who knows if you’re telling the truth?"
Even if they could use the Truism Spells, they would have to wait until the wave’s constraint is lifted, and by the time they use the Truism Spells, it would be better to use other methods to restrict 03’s actions.
"I can swear by my True Knowledge barrier that everything I say is true," 03 attempted to show sincerity.
However, mere words could not truly touch people’s hearts.
Nis continued, "If you behave and don’t attempt to struggle, we may believe you, but if you make a move, don’t blame us."
Due to the wave, the originally stable two sides were disrupted as well.
And possessing the "freedom possibility," 03 was determined not to fall into another predicament.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the air fell into an unusual silence.
At this moment, Angel, hidden deep within the mist, relying on the fact that 03 hadn’t discovered him, once again used Sanders’ voice to bluff, "Do you think hiding within the Watermark guarantees your safety?"
Upon hearing Sanders’ voice, 03 instinctively pressed her lips tightly.
"Even if you think I can’t break the Watermark, do you believe these waves will tolerate the existence of your Watermark?"
Sanders’ words enlightened 03 sharply.
Yes, this bizarre wave could even rupture Sanders’ illusionary realm.
Would her Watermark really be able to break through the wave’s blockade?
Even though she didn’t know what this wave was, the overwhelming suppression of the Law within it made confronting it feel like facing the World’s Will.
Such magnificent and all-excluding force could not possibly allow the Watermark to exist peacefully.
Thinking of this, 03’s face involuntarily turned somber.
The rumbling sound still continued, and no one knew what was happening. Without resolving the issue of the wave, she seemed to have no other option but surrendering.
Another choice was returning to the lab.
However, not long ago, the lab had been infiltrated by outsiders. With 01 preparing to leave soon, the lab’s alert and defenses had reached their peak. Even if 03 wanted to enter the lab, she would have to go through the door filled with magical energy arrays, and opening that door, after several internal checks, would take at least five seconds. Within five seconds of delay, let alone Sanders, even Nis and Ferro could easily kill her.
So, returning to the lab was not an option either.
As 03’s heart sank into darkness, the surrounding wave finally began to dissipate.
Undoubtedly, at the moment the wave subsided, 03 felt the magic power fluctuations coming from nearby.
She gritted her teeth, choosing not to use the Watermark again. Instead, she turned her body into a streak of white water, rushing towards the nearby blazing fire area.
This burning fire area was, in fact, released by Ferro not long ago...
the Fire Field.
