Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Lilian's body was covered with a translucent golden shield, and her medium-length blond hair fluttered, revealing her jade-like soft pointed ears and slender neck.

The black mist surged and gathered, like a sharp sword, stabbing straight at her.

Colin and Aki had expressions of surprise on their faces at the same time.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Colin subconsciously pulled Lillian aside to dodge.

However, everything was too unexpected, and the sword-like black mist still hit Lilian's abdomen.

Whoosh!

The Ancient Tree Spring necklace flashed with light green, and a drop of clear spring water was sent into Lilian's mouth by Colin.

After doing this, Colin suddenly discovered that Lilian's injuries were much more minor than he thought.

Although it was considered a serious injury, the body was not cracked and there was no direct death. There was just a penetrating wound.

"Octavier..."

The black fog dissipated, but Aki, who was wearing a suit of pitch-black armor, did not pursue the victory. He stared at Lilian and murmured.

"What happened to your pointed ears?" he asked.

Lillian looked pale and did not answer.

Only then did Colin notice that there was a new change in her current appearance.

Perhaps because her bloodline was fully stimulated, Lilian's current appearance looks no different from that of a high elf.

His graceful pointed ears, pale but breakable skin, and exquisite facial features are considered top-notch even among the high elves.

If he remembered correctly, he had only seen Lilian in this girlish state a few times, and this was the first time he had looked at her so closely.

'Senior Lillian...seems to be more beautiful again?'

The change in appearance is just the appearance, the change in the bloodline in the body is the essence. Colin knew that this was the elf bloodline in Lilian's body that had been improved again.

On the other side, Yaxi naturally thought of this.

Seeing that Lilian didn't answer, he suddenly became disinterested and lost interest in talking.

He turned to look at Colin, but did not choose to take the opportunity to attack Colin, who seemed to be at the end of his strength.

Instead, it attacked towards the twisted trees again.

He has not forgotten his purpose. As long as he can interrupt Atbold's recovery, he will have plenty of time to deal with Colin and others.

At this time, the green light of the twisted trees had almost enveloped the entire tree.

Aki couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Colin, who had put down Lilian, blocked him again.

"Go away!" Yaxi was extremely angry.

boom!

The black mist was like a cone, shooting towards Colin!

The steel temperature-resistant force field persisted for a moment before breaking again, as did the knight's armor.

While Colin was flying upside down, the black mist cone drove straight in and struck another penetrating wound in his abdomen.

Fortunately, thanks to his super brain talent and strong physical control ability, Colin was able to survive without suffering any fatal injuries.

The talent of strengthening life is playing its role as usual, desperately repairing the wounds of the body.

It's just that the wounds caused by the black mist often have residual corrosive energy, which makes the healing slower every time when the injuries are not fully recovered.

However, Aki was already heading towards the twisted tree again.

Colin took a breath.

The cold air on the snowy night was refreshing, my heart was beating violently due to the battle, and my blood was still hot.

He stared at Aki's speeding figure and rushed forward to meet him again!

boom!

The next second, Colin flew back at an even faster speed.

At this time, the open space covered by the black mist barrier seemed to have been plowed by artillery, with holes one after another.

These are all marks left by his body.

The falling snow fell calmly, and they all treated it equally. Except for the newest potholes, the rest of the potholes were more or less stained with white traces.

"Cough...cough!"

Colin stood up unsteadily and coughed a few times. Through the wound on his abdomen, he could clearly see the white snow falling behind him.

"Give up, you have no way to take my attack anymore." Yaxi said calmly, "As long as you are willing to cooperate, wait until I get the black mist certificate from Atbold, and then sign a contract with me.

I am willing to spare your life."

Aki was not completely exhausted. The black mist armor on his body was visibly thinner, and his voice was breathless.

Although the Black Mist Armor is good, its physical strength is somewhat lagging behind.

Colin covered his mouth and coughed a few more times.

Aki waited patiently.

However, a few seconds later, Colin was still coughing quietly.

"I'll give you three more seconds to think!" Axi's eyes flashed coldly. "Three...two...one!"

However, what answered him was a flickering fire.

The orange fireball elongated and instantly formed a figure of the fire element.

"Shameless!" Yaxi snorted coldly.

The black stream of light went towards the twisted trees.

Colin subconsciously wanted to step forward to intercept again, and at the same time, he did not forget to summon a fire elemental again.

However, this time, Aki waved his hand and threw a cloud of black mist at him.

Colin quickly avoided it, but the black mist caught up with him again as if it was conscious.

If it had been a time when the injury was not so severe, this black mist would not be able to disturb him at all.

However, now, Colin clearly felt that his steps were being slowed down by the black mist.

Aki is getting closer and closer to the twisted tree.

Colin also felt that his heart was being squeezed tighter and tighter by invisible hands, making it almost difficult to breathe.

After all, he is only a first-level person. Although he can fight against the second-level Aki with his outstanding strength, when he has to resist his attack head-on, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and tried his best to catch up while summoning another fire elemental.

The two fire elements, under his control, went together to resist the black mist.

He was finally liberated, but it was too late.

The black figure was almost close to the twisted trees.

Aki stopped not far from the twisted tree, holding his right hand empty.

The black mist condensed into a bunch, and finally turned into a lightning-shaped spear.

He raised his right hand and made a javelin-throwing motion.

Whoosh!

The black spear drew a fatal arc!

"It's too late..." Colin looked ugly and stopped decisively.

He looked at the summoned fire element that had reached 99/100 on the gold paper, and waved his hand to actively disperse the summoned fire element.

Phew!

Just when Colin was about to summon a fire elemental again, he was suddenly stunned.

The black spear drew a fatal arc, but its final landing point did not reach the twisted tree where Atbold was.

Instead it fell to Marjorie.

Or--

At some point, Marjorie quietly touched the side of the twisted tree, and stepped forward at the most critical moment to block Aki's blow.

Teng!

The new fire element took shape in front of Colin.
