Meanwhile, on the other side...

Under the cover of night, Nemo carried Neferi at breakneck speed, with Cecilia hot on his heels.

Faced with Cecilia, who could easily send Kelos flying, Nemo knew he was no match for her and could only use all his skills to widen the gap between himself and Cecilia.

In his plan, if he could successfully get close to Gaelost's residence, he would be able to escape Cecilia's pursuit.

During the chase, Cecilia gradually noticed something was wrong.

"Strange, given the difference in strength between us, we shouldn't have been able to catch up for so long. Could it be that he has something protecting him?"

Cecilia was unaware that under the cover of night, there were more than just her and Nemo.

Besides Neferi and the others who were in the public eye, three other witches, including Ivy, were watching all of this from the shadows.

Whenever Cecilia and Nemo moved halfway between them, Ivy would secretly intervene and double the distance between them again.

Since the chosen ones are inherently part of the system of destiny, Cecilia was completely unaware of anything amiss. She could only feel that everything made sense, yet something seemed off.

Hilary followed behind Ivy and asked tentatively.

"Didn't you just say that your students could handle this problem? Why are you showing favoritism now...?"

"Shut up! This is my student. Don't I have the right to favor my student? Besides, do you think these two are evenly matched? If I didn't help, he would have been chopped into mincemeat in two seconds."

After refuting Hiti, Ivy continued to follow in the direction Nemo and the others were chasing.

At this moment, Cresos, who had been following at the back of the group, suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Ivy, didn't you say before that there was trouble hidden here that we needed to work together to deal with? But those people are clearly no match for you."

Upon hearing this, Ivy almost slammed on the brakes mid-air.

"What do you mean you can't even beat me? When did I become a unit of measurement for combat strength!?"

Before Ivy could continue criticizing Chrisos's inappropriate remarks, a faint sense of crisis suddenly swept through her mind, causing her body to subconsciously slow down.

Seeing this, the other two also stopped.

"What happened? Why did it suddenly stop..."

Just as Hiti opened her mouth to ask a question, a sudden change occurred, and the three of them instantly found themselves in a pitch-black space with no end in sight.

[The World of Shadows]

Crysos's pupils contracted sharply as she realized she had been unexpectedly swept into this pitch-black space.

Not only that, even the usually powerful Hiti was completely unaware of this, her bewilderment no less than that of Krysos.

Only Ivy sensed the danger a second before it happened, but it was too fast for her to call out to the other two.

Just like that, the three people who were secretly observing from the shadows were suddenly drawn into the heart of the crisis.

Although the incident happened somewhat suddenly, Ivy quickly calmed down.

As the one with the highest authority and power among the three, the Ruler of Fate and the Stars immediately learned what was trapping them.

"The Shadow World, the reflection of the entire world, is only slightly smaller in size than the real world."

"Those people chasing Nemo on the surface are just bait. Their real target is the three of us. Although we don't know why they want to trap us, it seems we have to try to break through here."

"As for Nemo... well, at least I gave him some of the favor of fate before I left. Whether he lives or dies is up to his destiny. I hope he doesn't suffer an immediate defeat."

After Ivy finished her analysis, she glanced back at Hilary a few times.

The other party immediately understood and pulled out the Destruction Blade from before.

At the same time, Ivy also took out her divine artifact, the Dome, and stood on the same side as Hiti.

Seeing this, Krysos, who was at the very back, looked around and then pointed to himself.

"Should I fight too?"

No one answered.

At this moment, the shadow world had already separated her from the other two, directly severing the connection between them.

Seeing this, Krysos nodded somewhat helplessly.

"Alright then, I'll try my best to protect myself for a while."

As she spoke, she made sure again that she was alone and that no one else was watching.

"Come out, Migel."

Krysos snapped his fingers.

The next second, a golden light suddenly appeared behind her.

In no time, the golden light condensed into a human form under Krysos's control.

【God of Wealth - Miguel lv.300】

After descending into the Shadow World, Migel looked around, then at Krysos, and finally spoke.

"Did you summon me here just for this?"

"What are you talking about? Do you think you can solve this problem directly?"

"No. The Shadow World is at least a world-level existence. To completely eliminate it, one would need the power to destroy an entire world. Those who could meet this requirement are probably forbidden beings that I cannot know about."

"Tsk...that settles it then."

Krysos looked at Miguel with utter disdain.

"Let's make it clear beforehand: after this matter is resolved, I can forgive you... one percent of your remaining debt. Of course, you can also choose to go back; it's up to you."

Faced with the conditions proposed by Krysos, Jamil sighed helplessly.

"All right…"

Having said that, he conjured a long spear in his hand.

[Divine Weapon: Golden Ear]

……

The instant after Ivy and the others were swept into the shadow world, Cecilia instantly felt the distance between herself and Nemo shrink considerably.

In no time, she caught up with Nemo and bound his ankles with a chain.

"Phew... Why are you running so fast? I never said I was going to kill you. If I really wanted to kill someone, I would have done it when we first met. Why would I have been playing with you guys until now? But it was my mistake. I didn't expect you to be so hard to catch. I should have known better than to hold back."

As she spoke, she raised the withered branch and pointed it at Neferi on Nemo's shoulder.

"Alright kid, it's time to give her back to me now."

"Or... do you want me to come and retrieve it myself?"
