NOVEL NEXT Chapter454-The Reappearance of the Dark Tower
Seeing the weapon embedded in Wraith Marshal's chest, Caesar furrowed his brows.
If Raven were at his peak, he could confidently say that Leslie stood no chance.
No matter how outstanding Leslie's talent was, it could not compare to the power Raven had accumulated over countless epochs.
They were not even on the same level.
However, Raven had been outmaneuvered, not only suffering a critical injury but also experiencing significant emotional turmoil due to Elena's grievous and near-fatal injuries.
In this state, facing Leslie at her peak, even Caesar found himself losing his prior confidence and composure.
"To be safe, activate the God of Deities as soon as possible!"
Quickly, Caesar made his decision!
The celestial gods surrounding him exchanged glances and immediately began to act.
At the same time, within the Alchemy Guild.
The God of Alchemy gazed into the void.
The scene of Leslie facing off against Raven appeared before his eyes.
"Raven… after all these years, your power has indeed reached an unprecedented level, surpassing even what the God of Light and others dared to attempt. Fortunately, this time, we have Lady Leslie…"
When Raven first appeared, he had been deeply concerned about Leslie and their predicament.
After all, Raven's strength was already terrifying back then, requiring the combined efforts of the God of Light and others to counter.
Fortunately, Leslie had her own schemes, which weakened his power considerably. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how Leslie could defeat him.
Even so, eliminating Raven would not be an easy task.
...
Under the watchful eyes of countless powers, Raven took step after step toward Leslie. With each step, the cold aura emanating from him dissipated slightly. Even the dagger embedded in his chest was melting rapidly, its runes fading into oblivion!
At that moment, his aura suddenly surged!
Like a volcano suppressed for ages, it erupted with unbridled force!
Leslie fixed her gaze on Raven, her expression serious. "Your power is indeed formidable, but the era has changed. Relics of the old era should be replaced!"
"Heh, little girl, do you think injuring me with your schemes guarantees your victory? Even the God of Light and others weren't as arrogant as you!"
As Raven spoke, a torrent of wraith energy surged forth like billowing smoke, blanketing the heavens and earth!
The mana remaining in the vicinity was quickly assimilated into wraith energy. Screams and howls grew increasingly intense, resonating from within the wraith energy.
Witnessing this scene, the expressions of all present changed dramatically!
The void was not only devoid of mana but also forcefully twisted by Raven, becoming a realm of deathly revelry.
Most mages found themselves unable to approach, let alone intervene, as they would be killed instantly!
Even some Throne Celestials were overwhelmed, their senses assaulted by the maddening cries emanating from the wraith energy.
"Is this the legendary terror of the Wraith Marshal? Even in his injured state, he's utterly unstoppable!"
Many mages exclaimed in horror, their faces pale with fear.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the wraith energy, Leslie stood, her expression calm as she gazed at Raven.
"Your strength is undeniable. In that case, let's finish this quickly. Within three moves—either you die, or I do!"
Leslie's words caused Raven to burst into laughter.
"What an arrogant brat! Do you think you can defeat me in three moves?"
Raven's confidence in his strength was absolute. Although his injury had weakened him somewhat, the effects were minimal, reducing his power by only about thirty percent.
Yet even at this level, he was beyond the reach of any challenger!
"Miss Leslie's words are bold, but isn't she overconfident? Raven isn't just a Throne Celestial; he's beyond that!"
"Yet Miss Leslie has always done what she says. She must have some trump card or plan, or she wouldn't speak so boldly."
"What kind of trump card could possibly kill the Wraith Marshal?"
Many fell silent, their gazes fixed on Leslie.
Leslie's declaration wasn't born of arrogance. She could feel that the icy dagger had inflicted significant damage on Raven's wraith heart, but his recovery was progressing rapidly.
If he fully recovered, even Leslie had little confidence in defeating him. Her only chance was to strike while he was weakened!
The next moment, under countless astonished gazes, Leslie drew her bow and nocked an arrow. A chilling arrow, freezing the surrounding void, locked onto Raven.
As the arrow took form, Raven's chest caved slightly, and countless ice crystals spread across his skin, piercing deep into his organs.
Whoosh!

The air cracked with a deafening sound as the arrow tore through the void. It pierced the wraith energy, freezing and shattering it into a blizzard of icy shards.
Raven's expression grew grim as countless wraiths emerged from beneath his skin, coalescing into a sinister greatsword in his hands.
As the blade appeared, the wraith energy boiled over. Raven's aura surged once more as he gripped the greatsword and swung it down, shattering the stars!
Leslie's icy arrow collided with the turbulent shockwave from the greatsword!
Boom!
The heavens and earth quaked. Countless fragments of [Order] were scattered, and all sensory perception was obliterated.
The entire empire trembled, and an aurora visible throughout the Pure Land lingered for a long time!
Was this the terror of a power beyond Throne Celestial?
Many gasped in disbelief.
The shockwaves from this clash carried the scent of death. If they were caught in it, they would be annihilated without resistance!
And this was only the beginning.
The collision spread, turning everything around them into primordial chaos, utterly annihilated.
Leslie's power of dominion commanded countless fragments of [Order], resembling a meteor shower pressing down on the Wraith Marshal.
Wraith Marshal, shrouded in malevolent wraiths, emanated an unimaginably terrifying aura, struggling against the overwhelming [Order].
Their battle was one of mutual annihilation!
Sensing Leslie's extraordinary strength, Raven roared furiously.
"Infinite Wraiths, descend!"
At his hoarse and frenzied command, innumerable wraiths emerged from the wraith energy, turning the area into a realm of unrestrained wraiths.
These wraiths charged at Leslie with madness and despair.
Twisted!
Chaotic!
Deadly!
The tide of emotions threatened to engulf Leslie's mind, aiming to turn her into one of the wraiths!
At that moment, a towering Dark Tower appeared behind Leslie, like an ancient mountain descending upon the battlefield.
The wraiths rushing toward Leslie were absorbed and imprisoned by the Dark Tower the instant they approached.
"The Dark Tower… no! This is just its surface manifestation!"
Seeing the Dark Tower Leslie had summoned, Raven's pupils constricted. He seemed to realize something, exclaiming in shock!
"You! You're actually her!"
Leslie's expression remained indifferent. She had heard similar words from C'Thun before.
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not? Raven, your time is up!"
With that, Leslie rapidly formed an intricate series of hand seals. A blinding light erupted from her body, merging with the Dark Tower.
The ancient Dark Tower began to spin, grinding toward Raven like a colossal black millstone!
At that moment, the world fell silent.
The wraiths' howls ceased. Raven's turbulent aura seemed to vanish!
"What just happened? Who won?"
"No idea! Their battle is beyond perception!"
"Yet it must be nearing its conclusion. The victor will soon emerge!"
Countless minds were tense. In the midst of this chaotic and extreme battle, no one could discern anything clearly.
But they all knew one thing: this battle would determine the fate of the Pure Land.
Everyone awaited the final victor.
