The ice spears striking her crashed into the flame shield, immediately emitting a violent "hissing" sound. Ice and fire clashed intensely, the ice spears quickly melting and vaporizing, while the flame shield's light dimmed slightly, yet it ultimately held firm against this wave of rebound attacks.
Meanwhile, Kevin, facing the ice spears attacking him, showed no ripples in his icy blue eyes.
He didn't even look at the attacks, but subconsciously shifted his thoughts, attempting to summon the weapon that had accompanied him through countless battles—Judgment of Shamash.
However, the moment this thought arose, two lines of clear white light-characters appeared abruptly in the void before him:
[Warning: Destructive energy reaction detected exceeding the load limit of this training space.]
[Command: Judgment of Shamash—Call forbidden.]
Immediately after, another line of text appeared almost simultaneously:
[Warning: High-risk life form transformation tendency detected.]
[Command: Artificial Collapse (Karma Demon form)—Activation forbidden.]
Kevin's movements paused for a moment.
He frowned slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping over these two "bans" that clearly came from the space administrator.
The power of Judgment of Shamash might destroy this already strange training space structure; that was understandable.
But even "Artificial Collapse" was pre-emptively forbidden? This administrator's understanding of them was deeper than he had anticipated.
In that split second of delay, the swarm of ice spears was already inches away!
Kevin no longer attempted to invoke those forbidden powers.
He simply lowered his center of gravity slightly, then stepped forward with his right foot, appearing to take a casual step.
"Thud!"
A dull sound, like the heartbeat of a giant beast, exploded from the center of where he stepped!
A visible ring of air pressure blasted outwards from him in all directions!
Wherever the air wave passed, the alloy floor plates groaned under the strain. The ground, which hadn't even shown visible marks from the ice spear attacks or fire, was actually scraped away by a layer!
Those incoming ice spears, under the impact of this incomparably brutal and pure force, were like sandcastles in a gale, instantly blown to pieces and dissipated into smoke!
Even the flame shield on Stelle's side was buffeted violently by this air wave, the flames flickering unsteadily, scaring Stelle inside into reinforcing her power a bit more.
"Phew... scared the heck out of me."
Stelle dispelled the flame shield, wiped away non-existent cold sweat, and looked at the way Kevin had casually resolved the crisis, clicking her tongue in secret. "What kind of build is this... no weapons, no transformation, and just one stomp is this fierce?"
However, before Stelle could fully catch her breath, and before Kevin could make his next move, an even greater pressure descended from mid-air!
Sirin floated even higher; in her golden cross-shaped pupils, the previous flicker of anger caused by her attacks being easily neutralized had vanished, replaced by a cold rage and absolute arrogance after being thoroughly "offended."
She spread her arms slightly, her luxurious Herrscher dress fluttering without wind, and the purple-black Imaginary energy around her surged like a boiling ocean!
Behind her, above her, and even in every corner of the vast space of the training room, like the birth of star clusters, countless dense purple-black points of light rapidly ignited and took shape!
One hundred... five hundred... one thousand...
That was the Spear of the Void!
Hundreds, perhaps even over two thousand Spears of the Void, each flowing with purple-black light that tore through space, their tips gleaming with a cold light that made the soul tremble, floated in the air in formation like a death legion awaiting review. Every single spear tip was locked precisely onto Kevin and Stelle in the arena below!
The dense spear tips formed an endless, despair-inducing purple-black "firmament," almost blocking out all the light above the training room, casting shadows that completely enveloped Kevin and Stelle.
The energy contained in each Spear of the Void might not be as great as the two probing ones from earlier, but the sheer terrifying quantity added up to create a destructive sense of oppression sufficient to break anyone with an insufficiently firm mind instantly.
The low hum produced by the resonance of Imaginary energy converged into a background noise that crushed the spirit.
Stelle looked up, watching this astronomical array of Spears of the Void, and the little bit of pride she had felt from blocking the previous attack instantly froze and then shattered.
She was very certain that her Path power, which had just been significantly depleted, definitely could not withstand a saturation strike of this scale.
"..."
Stelle swallowed hard, feeling her throat go dry and her palms holding the Flame Lance sweating slightly. In her golden eyes reflected the sky full of purple-black death starlight, and she bitterly spat out two syllables:
"Uh, this..."
