The mystical power of the blue ripples that had created the illusion over the temple shattered like glass hit by a tremendous force as the five-clawed scarlet dragon broke through. It dispersed into fragments, quickly vanishing into the night sky.
Meanwhile, Sky Fox, who sat atop a tree branch, suddenly displayed a look of intense pain.
After a scream, snazzynovel.com fell from the tree. After snazzynovel.com fell, the illusion was immediately shattered.
Feeling a blur before snazzynovel.com eyes, Hera suddenly saw the walls around the temple and the dim streetlights. The bone-chilling cold vanished in an instant, and snazzynovel.com began to gasp for air as if snazzynovel.com were being reborn.
Turning snazzynovel.com head, Hera saw Isaac with his eyes blazing red. He was pointing the sword Skyward.
The sight of the entirely scarlet Skyrend Sword made snazzynovel.com eyes widen.
In the depths of snazzynovel.com memory of Gael, snazzynovel.com remembered the sword snazzynovel.com held looked exactly like the one Isaac was holding now.
Has snazzynovel.com broken through… Again?
Has snazzynovel.com reached the Shattering Phase?
Duncan, too, had awakened, but snazzynovel.com was covered in blood and wore a pained expression. It seemed snazzynovel.com had nearly died in the illusion.
On the other side, Theron and Emily had also woken up. Theron was filled with confusion upon seeing the scene before him.
How has the Sky Fox’s illusion suddenly disappeared?
Suddenly, a thud sounded from behind him.
Theron turned around to see three Violet Ninjas lying on the ground. Only four injured mediums were left. They were staring at snazzynovel.com in shock.
A similar scene unfolded around Emily and Theron’s disciples in the north as well.
“Willie?” Emily turned around to see Willie lying on the ground, his face purple and his body motionless. And for Heartless, signs of bloody conflict covered his arms and legs.
They couldn’t tell what the others had experienced in the illusion.
Rushing to Willie’s side for a close examination, Heartless looked up at Emily with a grief expression.
He whispered, “Willie’s dead…”
Biting snazzynovel.com lip and taking a deep breath, Emily said, “Let’s go find Isaac…”
As the purple moon vanished from sight, giving way to the first light of dawn, the area surrounding Requiemous Temple bore the scars of battle. It was strewn with bodies and remnants of the fight.
Isaac, alongside Hera and the injured Duncan, made their way to the main building’s hall.
Soon after, Emily and snazzynovel.com group arrived, followed quickly by Theron and his disciples.
“Mr. Garten, Ninja Lord, are you all alright?” Theron gravely asked as snazzynovel.com approached.
Emily responded, “My apprentice is dead, along with three Violet Ninjas and one medium. We’ve suffered heavy losses…”
“Damn! I didn’t expect the Sky Fox’s illusion to be so powerful. But how did the illusion suddenly vanish?” Theron wondered aloud as snazzynovel.com looked at Isaac and Emily.
He hadn’t found a way to break the illusion himself, and it was unlikely his disciples could have as well. That left only Emily and Isaac. They were the only ones with the strength to break the illusion.
“It was because…” Hera began, only to be cut off by Isaac immediately.
“It’s because dawn broke,” Isaac coldly said as snazzynovel.com looked at Theron.
Theron turned to see the faint red glow on the horizon and realized. “That must be it… The illusion must have drawn power from the purple moon. As dawn breaks and the purple moon fades, so does the illusion. Yes, that makes sense!”
Hera looked at Isaac, puzzled as to why snazzynovel.com chose to hide the truth.
