The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

"So, let's fight to the death!"

"If you fail to master the domain's expansion under my domain attack, then we no longer deserve to be called brothers."

Stone Dragon formed a palm print, imbuing the sure-hit spell with the properties of released incantation power.

In an instant, two beams of light appeared in the void, first as faint bright spots, then rapidly expanding and solidifying into two blazing white pillars of light, beginning to accumulate energy.

As they looked at Fu Hei Hui and Lu Ziyun, a scorching heat filled the air, as if the temperature itself was rising.

Both of them responded instinctively due to their fighting instincts.

Lu Ziyun pressed his palms together, fingertips touching, assuming the stance of the Mixu Gelong. The ancient defensive technique took shape in his hands.

Fu Hei, on the other hand, clenched his fists, crossed his hands in front of him, and flipped his fingers and palms, striking his most classic pose—

"Furube..."

When he finally recited the incantation, Fukuro realized that everything had happened too smoothly.

His fighting instincts drove him to assume the hand seals of a subjugation ritual—the familiar rhythm, the familiar finger shapes, the familiar incantation—

I almost summoned Mo Xu Luo again.

Fortunately, at the last moment, reason prevailed over the Demonic Void personality.

"Use your domain against your domain, you bastard!"

Shi Liulong roared loudly, expressing his disappointment and frustration.

"No techniques other than barrier spells are allowed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of magical energy shot out. The light tore through the pure white space, carrying an overwhelming momentum, and rushed straight towards the two of them.

Fu Hei and Lu Ziyun also abandoned their classic stances and instead focused on building a barrier.

The palm prints of the domain unfolded on his hands, his hands came together, his fingertips interlocked, and he began to pour in magical power to form a barrier.

The power of the spell surged through his meridians and gathered in his palms, attempting to form a solid barrier in front of him. The barrier had just begun to take shape, and its edges were still trembling slightly.

boom!!!

Both of them were slapped hard in the face by the guaranteed hit of the cursed power, which sent them flying.

The blazing white light engulfed their vision, and the violent impact sent them flying backward, their bodies tumbling through the air before crashing heavily into the edge of the domain with a dull thud.

"Stone Flow Dragon, you'd better hold back a bit!"

Unable to successfully construct a complete barrier, Fukuro was unable to neutralize the attack and was nearly destroyed.

She turned around angrily, only to meet Shi Liulong's burning gaze.

There was no mockery or contempt in his eyes, only a pure, burning desire.

That look in his eyes revealed Shi Liulong's intense desire.

It's a longing for my brother's progress!

Under that intense gaze, Fukuro finally realized his shortcomings.

"Sorry, bro, my attitude wasn't right."

"We really need a fight to the death to spur our will on."

Fukuro was lost in memories.

In so many battles where one comprehends the core of spellcasting, what is the most important factor?

Is that what it is?

No!

It's death!

When a person is extremely close to death, they will unleash tremendous potential.

Fuhei has become too reliant on Moxuluo.

Since he stopped hunting wanderers in the second playthrough of Death's Return, his skill level as a sorcerer has not improved.

Megumi Fushiguro!

Put real pressure on yourself!

"We're already calling each other brothers, so what else is there to say? I'll increase the power of the next shot, and I guarantee you'll experience a near-death experience."

Shi Liulong's lips curled back into a pure love for battle.

"Come on, brother, shoot me hard!" Fu Hei puffed out his chest, his eyes burning with renewed fire.

"Come on!" Lu Ziyun also regained her footing.

Fuhei and Xiaolu rallied and got into position.

Their palm prints were formed again, and the power of the spell was poured in once more.

This time, the surrounding space instantly began to separate, breaking free from the control of the Stone Flow Dragon's barrier and resisting the domain.

Although it was only a slight fluctuation, and only a fleeting flash, it was indeed a sign that was different from before.

"Yes, that's it!" Shi Liulong's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Let's complete the barrier!"

"Ice Smoothie Shockwave!"

The second wave, imbued with a guaranteed hit of magical energy, was launched again, more solid and faster than before. It left a blazing white trail in the air as it shot towards Fu Hei Hui and Lu Ziyun.

Fukuro closed his eyes, merging with the darkness to enhance his perception and focus on the construction of the barrier's outer shell.

He cannot rely solely on the existing shell; he must create a shell of his own!

The barrier's outline reappeared, this time more solid and stable than before, with significantly reduced tremors at the edges.

He could even sense that the barrier was resonating with the Stone Dragon's domain, like two puzzle pieces trying to fit together.

boom!!!

The second wave of attacks crashed into the fragments of the barrier that rose around the two, attempting to stop the advance of the cursed energy beam.

However, the cursed energy was too powerful and too condensed, and those fragments were torn apart, pierced, and crushed like pieces of paper.

Fuhei and Xiaolu were defeated once again.

"Ice Sandblast Shockwave—"

Shi Liulong gave the two no chance to catch their breath and launched a third wave of attacks.

Time is of the essence; Shi Liulong must ensure his brothers evolve now. The longer they delay, the more prepared Lu Suo will become, and the more dangerous Gaozhuan's situation will be.

"Brother, only one Fushiguro Megumi can leave alive today—that is, the Fushiguro Megumi who has awakened her domain!"

"Increase the power!"

boom!!!

This time, the cursed energy was more concentrated and stronger, rushing straight towards the two people lying on the ground.

"Domain Expansion!"

Xiaolu and Fuhei fought again, straining their bodies to try and open the domain once more.

The blazing white light engulfed everything.

Fuhei could only rely on his senses to make adjustments, his cursed power surging throughout his body as he desperately tried to neutralize the attack that could blast him away.

He could feel the outer shell of the barrier that was about to take shape trembling, shattering, and reforming under the impact.

He desperately tried to neutralize the attack that could have blasted him away, pouring all his magical power into that fragile outer shell.

-

After the beam of light faded, Fu Hei slowly opened his eyes.

"I tested it, it's like a revolving lantern?!"

Fuhei stared in disbelief at everything before him.

Because at the last moment, Fukuro could feel that the outer shell of the domain he had created had been crushed again.

But now, being in this pure white space that doesn't belong to the Stone Flow Dragon's domain at all, I'm probably just experiencing a revolving lantern after being blasted unconscious.

"Didn't the domain allow adults to fully enjoy themselves?"

Fuhei tried to utter the Thunder God's Word to confirm whether he was actually under the bombardment of the Stone Flow Dragon's domain.

However, Lu Ziyun's clear voice answered Fu Hei's question:

"Of course you're not dead, because I neutralized all of Stone Dragon's attacks, so you weren't injured."

"This space is now my domain—"
