The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 531 Hound Suppression
David stared at the ring.

His brows were furrowed.

He slowly reached out and touched the inside of his chest.

A powerful resonance instantly coursed through my entire body.

"This is a provocation against me."

It’s also a reminder.

I must overcome my own limitations.

Otherwise, we will eventually be defeated by the past.

Torn apart by fate!

The air suddenly froze.

The earth seemed to hold its breath in anticipation of the impending war.

The night was heavy and oppressive.

Everything seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

In the void.

The figure of the Time Abyss Hound surged forward swiftly like a dark wave.

The dark gold cracks on their bodies shimmered with an eerie light.

Each movement seemed to distort the flow of time around them.

David felt the suffocating pressure in the air.

It felt as if every second was endlessly stretched and then instantly torn apart.

"Ready to fight."

David clenched his fists.

The crystallized placenta on the abdomen emitted a faint blue glow.

It was synchronized with the oscillation rhythm of the chaotic furnace within his body.

Lena has a lithe and agile figure.

Their steps were light and agile.

She quickly unfurled a trap woven from timelines.

The net was like fine yet incredibly strong silk threads.

They twist and intertwine freely in space.

Yet it also faintly exudes otherworldly energy.

This makes it even harder for the hunting dogs to get close.

The first hunting dog suddenly broke through the ripples.

The claws, trailing a silvery-white afterimage, slashed towards David.

David waved his arm.

An energy surge emanating from the Chaos Furnace rushed forward.

They were forcefully repelled.

The sound of the impact, like metal clashing, echoed in the void.

however.

The enormous hound, known as the "Seven-Ring Collar," was both calm and cunning.

It utilizes the ability to devour things that existed in the past.

Cause the surrounding time fragments to break and disappear.

It severed a portion of the trap net that Lena had woven, as if cut by a knife.

She was startled.

Forced to retreat.

Lena gritted her teeth: "They are creating a fault line between the past and the present."

We must speed things up.

Otherwise, space will collapse!

Cynthia quickly activated the mental link to assist.

Slightly adjust the frequency of everyone's consciousness.

This enables them to respond more quickly and synchronously to the ever-changing rhythms of time.

"This is a challenge to the limits of consciousness and the boundaries of rules!"

Any mistake could cost us our lives.

David activated the chaotic furnace within his body.

He guided the scorching, intense fire inside to the crystallized placenta in his abdomen.

The blue crystal suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.

It instantly expanded into a transparent shield.

Enveloped him.

This shield not only blocks physical attacks.

It also resisted the attempts of the Time Abyss Hound to devour his memory fragments and existence trajectory.

The large hunting dog wearing a seven-ring collar roared angrily.

He lunged forward.

It opened its enormous mouth.

A distorted spacetime storm swept out.

It pulls the surrounding area into an endless vortex—each absorption strips away the very foundation for survival.

This makes the swallowed-up beings seem to gradually evaporate and disappear from reality.

The situation suddenly became tense.

But at this moment, Lena's mind was resolute.

Her hands hovered in the air.

Like a conductor managing a large orchestra.

It cleverly folds and interweaves its complex and multi-layered timelines into a labyrinthine trap.

Lure those dark monsters, who have dissipated their past existence and are chasing their present goals, into gradually falling into it—

When the large hunting dogs attempt to attack again.

It is trapped in this complex, entangled, and repeatedly folded and reassembled labyrinth of time.

Every step involves confronting the uncertainties and conflicts arising from the entanglement of one's fragmented identity.

They had to slow down their offensive.

To prevent its own structure from collapsing and separating.

It was this strategy that turned the tide of the battle!

Cynthia used the telepathic link to transmit the command: "David."

Increase the output intensity of the Chaos Furnace.

I will simultaneously strengthen your cognitive protective layer!

As her voice fell.

David's body experienced a sudden surge in intense heat energy.

He felt the core that was giving birth to the new dimension begin to tremble.

It also actively releases strong dimensional fluctuations.

This force tore through the void barrier.

They gradually suppressed the pursuing dark forces.

It also repairs the damage caused by spatial faults and broken rules.

The large hunting dog finally showed signs of anxiety.

The seven-ring collar around its neck was flashing an abnormal signal.

It seems to be some kind of warning.

It also seems to be a kind of constraint.

Unwilling to be bound by this.

It roared and leaped up again.

It aimed a vicious bite at the pattern on the ring!

Right now.

David suddenly seized the opportunity and threw a punch.

The strong feedback from the placenta in the abdomen helps to multiply its strength.

He slammed his fist into the chest of the large hunting dog.

The impact carried a strange, chilling flame, a mixture of intense heat and chaotic fire, and frigid frost.

It instantly burns and freezes the surface structure of the behemoth's body.

At the same time, it suppresses the core operation of its devouring ability.

The giant beast growled in pain.

He was forced back several steps.

But it has not yet completely collapsed.

But this duel has proven that brute force alone cannot win a victory.

We need wisdom and strategy to complement each other!
"Everyone, maintain formation."

Don't let them escape our trap!

Reina shouted sharply.

"Use this complex, ever-changing, and uncertain time structure to restrain the enemy."

Only then can we find an opportunity to counterattack!

Cynthia's eyes held a depth that transcended reason.

"I will build a second line of defense in the spiritual realm."

This is both shelter and protection.

It is also guidance; we must work together to weave a new chapter belonging to the will of life.

The battle entered a stalemate.

Every action, every thought.

All of these affect the delicate balance of the laws governing the entire universe.

And we move among them.

They did not only fight against external enemies.

It is also a struggle against the shadow of one's own destiny.

Fight against the undead spirits spawned by the choices you make!
Darkness swept in.

But it could not destroy their unwavering belief; the storm raged.

But that cannot extinguish their ambition to pave the way for the future stars.

Deep in the void.

The shadow of the Time Abyss Hound pierced the silence like countless black blades.

Their bodies were twisted and deformed.

It felt as if we were wandering between a crack in time and the real world.

Each step she took created a spatial and temporal fluctuation that shook the very soul.

David felt an invisible pressure constantly weighing on his will.

It was as if the entire existence was being gradually stripped away.

"They are not ordinary opponents."

David's voice was deep.

A solemn expression appeared between his brows.

"These hounds devoured my past."

It's like erasing the very foundation of my existence.

Lena clenched her fists.

Her aura condensed in the void into a faint but not negligible barrier of time flow.

"I have woven a web of time traps."

But the hounds are getting used to the trap.

We need to act quickly.

Cynthia's eyes gleamed with the light of data streams.

"The hounds used my time-capture model to constantly change their attack paths."

They seemed to have detected the weaknesses in our trap.

A huge hunting dog—wearing a seven-ring collar around its neck—roared and charged at David.

The runes on the collar shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

It resonates with the new dimensional parameters conceived in the chaotic furnace within David's body.

It opened its enormous mouth.

A distorted spacetime storm erupted from its mouth.

It sucked everything in its path into its belly. "Get out of the way!"

Lena shouted urgently.

She quickly wove her own timeline and space into a rotating vortex.

This will redirect and deflect some of the storm.

But this large hunting dog is extremely cunning.

It draws upon the residual power of the seven-ring necklace.

Continuously adjust the position of your body across multiple timelines.

Like a ghost, it moves between reality and illusion.

This makes the attack sharp and difficult to predict.

"They used my unchosen branch as a weapon."

This kind of pain

David gritted his teeth.

He focused his spiritual energy on the crystalline placenta in his abdomen.

The surface of that crystal suddenly shone with a dazzling light.

As if the portal to another dimension were slightly opening.

He pumped his fist.

A blazing chaotic flame, fused with icy dimensional energy, was released with a deafening roar.

It struck the chest of the charging hound with a powerful blow.

The impact erupted with a dazzling light.

The intense tremors tore through the surrounding void.

However, they were unable to completely drive away the large fanged beast.

at the same time.

Lena took a deep breath.

She closed her eyes.

Its entire body emitted a faint blue glow.

All the fragmented timelines are re-entangled and woven together to form a more complex and intricate web of traps.

This network is like a convergence of stars and the sea.

Countless fine threads intertwine.

They also seem to be distributed in various parallel universes.

This makes it even harder for those monsters that devour the past and try to erase the present to escape.

Cynthia controls the mental link to assist.

The countless data fluctuations on the holographic screen reminded her that everyone's consciousness frequency must be synchronized to the extreme.

"We only have one chance to cut off these henchmen."

Otherwise, the future will be completely torn apart!

As her voice fell.

A powerful mental fluctuation spread outwards.

It provided a solid shield for the team.

It also briefly disrupted the enemy's ability to absorb fragments of past memories.

This causes its actions to be delayed.

The large hunting dog with the seven-ring collar seemed to sense danger.

Make a decisive move and then leap.

At the same time, it releases a dark golden energy pulse in an attempt to shatter everything that is intertwined and tangled like a nightmare.

But it was this pulse that broke its already fragile and unstable structure, which was composed of multiple self-components.

This causes it to produce violent internal oscillations and traces of fault disintegration.

"Now!"

David seized the opportunity.

Fully unleash the new spatial core nucleus gestating within the Chaos Furnace.

His crystallized placenta suddenly burst open.

Countless blue chips fell like stars in a galaxy.

It splattered in all directions from his abdomen.

These chips carry the energy of dimensional reconstruction.

In an instant, it spread out and formed a huge dimensional magic array.

All the Time Abyss Hounds were trapped inside.

Each attempt to escape is met with new rules and forced feedback.

They struggle in agony but cannot truly escape.

Lena quickly adjusted the formation structure.

She spun lightly.

Each energy thread that bursts forth from the fingertips precisely blocks the enemy's key pathways.

"You can only be trapped in this web woven by the future!"

Cynthia continued to strengthen the field of consciousness.

Achieve multi-layer filtration and suppression.

"Their consumption of too many fragments of the past will lead to their self-destruction."

This is precisely our chance to win!

On the battlefield.

Multiple intertwined and unpredictable timelines are like a raging torrent.

It evolves in an orderly yet chaotic alternation.

at this moment.

Fate and free will begin to clash.

And those undead spirits from the unchosen branch of the world.

And it will eventually crumble and disappear under the web of the future!
finally.

After more than ten consecutive explosive collisions.

The large Time Abyss Hound, adorned with a seven-ringed collar, let out a mournful howl that echoed through the void.

Cracks began to appear on its massive body.

Like stars burning out and turning to ashes, it gradually disintegrated and collapsed.

Meanwhile, the smaller tentacles also retreated.

Trapped in a complex and meticulously woven labyrinth of new rules.

It is no longer possible to launch an effective attack.

Silence fell.

Only the aftershocks from before and after the battle slowly spread out.

The air was still cold.

But a glimmer of dawn appeared—

Lena looked ahead, weary but determined.

"Victory is only temporary."

We must continue to strengthen this cage woven by our own destiny.

Otherwise, they will attack again sooner or later.

David slowly straightened up.

He knew that this battle was not just a contest of strength.

It is also a questioning of the meaning of its own existence and the possibilities of its future.

He lightly touched the seven-ring symbol on his chest that was faintly resonating.

Fate will test you repeatedly.

But only you can decide where you will ultimately end up.

Cynthia nodded approvingly: "The real change begins now."

Every choice is a new fork in the road.

We must learn to take control of our own path.

Let's not let any shadow steal our present and future!

under night.

They supported each other.

Write your own chapter with perseverance and resilience.

And in the shadows in the distance.

A necklace with a cold, dark blue glow and inlaid with seven rings floated silently.

That dark power has not been completely extinguished.

An even bigger storm is brewing.
In the void.

The shadow of the Shiyuan Hound darted forward like a sharp blade.

It stirred up gusts of wind that distorted space and time.

Their bodies wander through the fractured flow of time.

The dark gold cracks on the surface of the body shimmered with an eerie light.

Each swing of its claws seemed to tear reality apart.

David stood in the center of the formation.

His face was solemn.

The chaotic furnace within his body was operating at full heat.

It complements the crystallized placenta on the abdomen.

"They are not just hunters."

More like a judge of time.

David clenched his fists.

His eyes were cold.

"Devouring past existence."

It's about erasing my traces from this world.

Lena stood beside her, her expression focused.

Her deep blue eyes were as calm as the deep sea.

She waved her hands gently.

It weaves a dense, layered web of time traps around the body.

The mesh shimmered with a faint yet resilient luster.

It extends slowly through the space.

Like an invisible sword, it cuts the enemy across different timelines.

"These hunting dogs have begun to adapt to the traps."

"Rena said in a deep voice."

"We must constantly reorganize the timeline."

Let them get lost in the labyrinth they've created.

Cynthia stepped forward.

She was manipulating the mental link support system.

Complex data fluctuations flashed continuously on the holographic floating screen.

"The large hound is unleashing a spacetime-distorting storm."

We must use this moment to disrupt their ability to absorb the past.

A huge hunting dog lunged at David.

Around her neck was a necklace with a faint blue sheen and engraved with seven rings.

In the darkness.

The necklace was as dazzling as the core of a star.

As it leaped into the air, it opened its mouth and spewed out a vortex-shaped spacetime vortex—violently and mercilessly devouring everything around it.

"retreat!"

"Rena called out urgently."

She quickly adjusted the trap net structure.

Folding parts of the timeline into a rotating barrier in an attempt to deflect the vortex's path.

Sharp cracks were torn open in the void.

However, they were unable to stop the tearing force wave from spreading, and the situation instantly became dangerous.
