Wizard: Starting from Escape from the Thorn Garden

Kate listened silently, the Seed of Origin spinning rapidly in her mental sea, quickly constructing the target model by combining Elena's prophecy and the descriptions of the others.

[Target: Voidwalker (Descendant of the Astral Wanderer)]

[Level: Peak Level 4]

[characteristic:

1. Spatial Affinity: Proficient in short-distance spatial jumps (advanced Shadow Jump), able to ignore most physical obstacles and energy barriers, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

2. Astral Claws: The claw blades contain a faint astral energy, possessing spatial cutting properties and extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities.

3. Shadow Clone: ​​Can create several astral shadow clones with some of the original's attack power to confuse the enemy.

4. Environmental Adaptation: In the purified environment of the Garden of Life, spatial abilities are slightly suppressed, but perceptual acuity is enhanced.

5. Keen perception: Extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations and mental lock-on.

[Threat Assessment: High! Extremely mobile, attacks involve spatial cutting, making them difficult to lock onto, and they have a huge destructive impact on team formations.]

[Tactical suggestion: Limit its spatial mobility and focus fire on its main body.]

"Space jump is the core," Kate said, her voice steady. "We must limit its mobility, otherwise we'll be led by the nose and defeated one by one."

"Restricted space?" Sophia frowned. "This thing can jump even higher than Kyle, how can you restrict it?"

All eyes were on Kate.

He just emerged from the Crystal Source Cave, his spiritual power underwent a qualitative change, and he even mentioned spatial baptism, perhaps...

Kate felt the essence of moonlight flowing through her body and the Void Serenity Lotus that had not yet merged with her but had already formed a close connection with her, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"I can try," Kate said calmly.

"My spatial awareness has been enhanced in the secret cave, and the new abilities may be able to interfere with or even temporarily anchor its jump trajectory. But it requires time to prepare and precise timing."

He looked at Evan: "I need Senior Sophia to make a big enough commotion to force it to jump at a high frequency or expose its true form."

Senior Elena, we need your star prediction to pinpoint its landing point or core.

Kayle and Serena, launch a deadly attack the moment it is interrupted or reveals itself. Senior Avenger, you provide support from the center; Wind Binding is ready to provide additional control at any time.

"Okay!" Evan replied without hesitation.

"Do as Kate says! Your spatial abilities are crucial now! Sophia, prepare for a strong attack."

Elena, anticipate with all your might! Kyle, Serena, listen for Kate's signal!

Sophia let out a low shout, and her gray-white rock armor instantly covered her entire body. Her fists clenched, and a heavy, steady power, as if it could bear the weight of mountains, spread out.

Elena sat cross-legged, with the Nebula Crystal floating above her head. Her silver eyes were closed, and starlight swirled around her, as if connected to the celestial trajectories of the entire Garden of Life.

Kyle and Serena's figures silently blended into the shadows of the surrounding glowing ferns, their presence completely vanishing, like the most patient hunters.

Kate took a deep breath, her mind becoming clearer and more stable than ever before.

The spiritual power flowed like a raging river, surging under the precise control of the Seed of Origin.

With a thought, the illusory image of the silver-blue Void Lotus of Tranquility slowly rotated in his mental sea, emitting a cool and vast spatial fluctuation.

"Seed of Origin, activate enhanced spatial awareness! Lunar essence at full power! Lock onto environmental spatial folds and weak points!"

hum!

A pale silver halo, shimmering with subtle spatial ripples, enveloped Kate's entire body, as if his eyes were veiled in silver light, instantly transforming the world he perceived.

It is no longer a simple scene, but countless interwoven, flowing, folded, and trembling lines of spatial energy.

The stable spatial structure of the Garden of Life was clearly visible to him; the subtle folds, nodes, and energy flow patterns were all clearly discernible.

"Thorn Shadow, Reconnaissance Mode, Spread out!" Kate whispered.

The dimensional bag shimmered, and the twelve repaired thorn shadows shot silently toward the border of the withered royal court like arrows. They dispersed, like moving sensors, continuously transmitting back the energy fluctuations and environmental information they sensed.

Guided by the shadow of thorns, the group advanced rapidly.

The stench of corruption emanating from the direction of the Withered Royal Court grew stronger, a stark contrast to the purity of the Court of Life.

Soon, a huge, twisted "wall" made up of countless pale skeletons and living roots flowing with filthy slime appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

Before a massive rift in the wall of bones, in the center of a relatively empty area covered with dark red fungal carpet, lurked a chilling shadow.

Void Shadow Beast!

It is over five meters long and resembles an enlarged cheetah covered in dark purple scales, but is more elegant and dangerous.

Beneath its sleek lines lies an explosive sense of power; its limbs are long and strong, and its claws gleam with a cold, eerie blue light, as if capable of tearing through space.

The most striking feature is its head, which has no eyes, only a massive mouth filled with serrated fangs, with specks of eerie blue starlight swirling around its snout. From either side of its head extend two dark purple antennae, their tips shimmering with a ghostly light, constantly sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding space.

Its body was not covered with hair, but with dark purple scales that flowed like liquid shadows. Wisps of dark blue astral energy seeped out from between the scales, but under the purifying field of the Garden of Life, this energy seemed to be slightly suppressed, making it appear unusually vigilant.

It seemed to have sensed the intruder, crouching low and emitting a deep, trembling sound from its throat, like a spatial tremor. Its antenna-like tendrils vibrated at a high frequency, locking onto the direction of the Green-Top Alliance!

"Buzz—!"

A loud, alarming buzzing sound rang out!

The Void Shadow Beast's figure blurred instantly!

It didn't move at high speed; it simply disappeared from the spot.

"They're here!" Evan shouted.

Almost at the same time it disappeared, Sofia erupted.

"Major Earthquake Wave - Rift Abyss!"

Sofia slammed her fists into the ground, sending terrifying shockwaves spreading forward in a fan shape.

The ground undulated and cracked like waves, as powerful physical impacts and energy shocks swept out.

Rumble—!!!

Shockwaves have an extremely wide coverage area.

Just as the energy was about to explode, space distorted.

The Void Shadow Beast's figure appeared in a disheveled state.

It clearly hadn't expected the opponent's attack to be so ferocious and wide-ranging. One jump failed to completely escape the attack range, and it was hit by the edge of the shockwave!

Its shadow scales, already weakened by the purification environment, were flung about by Sophia's shockwave, emitting a painful hiss.

His body also became slightly unsteady.

"Locked!" Elena's cool voice rang out.

The Nebula Crystal shot out a condensed beam of starlight, not as an attack, but as a precise probe, instantly locking onto a node on the Shadow Beast's body surface where energy fluctuations were relatively intense—a hub for the flow of its core energy!

"Kate!" Evan shouted.

"Now!"
