The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 364 The overall situation has been decided
With their strength, they might be able to go several hours without breathing under normal circumstances, but now they are in a fierce combat state, and every movement consumes a lot of oxygen, which puts a heavy burden on the body.

After just a few minutes, their movements began to distort. Their originally fierce attacks became slow and weak, and loopholes appeared in their defense. The Seraphim took advantage of the opportunity to gain the upper hand and beat them back step by step.

Relying on their unique way of communicating with each other, the Five Elders quickly reached a consensus - to capture the leader first.

The root cause of the chaotic and extremely unfavorable battle situation in front of them lies in Weiss's endless and unpredictable powerful abilities. As long as they can subdue him, they can turn the tide and regain the initiative in the battle.

The five people moved almost at the same time, and a pentagram magic circle slowly emerged under their feet.

With the appearance of the pentagram magic circle, the five people adjusted their positions tacitly and linked their respective magic circles to each other. In the blink of an eye, a huge magic circle emitting powerful energy fluctuations was formed.

The center of this magic circle is exactly where Weiss is. It is like a huge net emitting the breath of death, covering Weiss.

Black flames shot up into the sky and gushed out from the magic circle. The temperature of the black flames was extremely high. Wherever they passed, everything around them seemed to be like fragile paper, and they were instantly vaporized and disappeared without a trace.

No matter whether it was the huge rocks and broken walls on the ground or some debris floating in the air, as long as they came into contact with the black flames, they would instantly turn into a wisp of green smoke and dissipate into the air.

The entire Ghost Island was illuminated in darkness by the black flames. The scorching heat caused the surrounding air to distort, forming strange ripples.

The power of the black flames that shot up into the sky was so astonishing that even the vast sea water near Ghost Island was affected.

The sea water began to boil and roll at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large amount of water vapor rose up, like white clouds, surging towards the sky.

Under the continuous scorching of the black flames, the seawater evaporated rapidly, the water level dropped sharply, and large areas of underwater reefs gradually emerged from the water.

As the seawater evaporated in large quantities, the steam in the air became more and more. When it encountered cold air in the high altitude, it began to condense into water droplets rapidly, and then gathered into rain clouds.

Soon, raindrops as big as beans began to pour down from the sky. At first they were sparse, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into a heavy downpour.

The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if the entire sky was torn open. Endless rain poured towards Ghost Island, as if it would submerge the entire island.

The raindrops hit the ground, splashing water, which gathered into streams and rushed towards the low-lying areas.

The ground on Onigashima, which had already become bumpy and scarred due to the fierce fighting, was now rapidly filled with rainwater, forming puddles of various sizes. In some places, water had even begun to accumulate and form lakes.

In the pouring rain, the entire Ghost Island looked like an isolated island about to be swallowed by the flood, with a sense of desolation and danger everywhere.

The Five Elders didn't care about the severe weather changes around them at this time. Their eyes were fixed on the center of the magic circle.

They placed all their hopes on this joint attack. As long as they could successfully capture Weiss, they would not hesitate even if it meant destroying the entire Wano Country.

"Is it a bit too much to use a magic circle against a wizard like me?"

Weiss's voice drifted slowly from the center of the soaring black flames, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery, as if the powerful magic circle before him, capable of destroying everything, was nothing more than child's play. As his voice fell, the black flames gradually dissipated, and Weiss's figure appeared before everyone, intact. His clothes were still as clean as before, and his face showed no signs of panic or injury.

The terrifying attack just now, which could evaporate the sea water and change the color of the sky and the earth, did not touch him at all.

He raised his wand calmly and lightly tapped it. In an instant, a green smoke spread out from the top of the wand. The smoke spread quickly towards the direction of the Five Elder Stars like a nimble snake, and enveloped them in the blink of an eye.

"This is?? Seastone??"

Some of the Five Elders cried out in surprise. They only felt a familiar and fearful power emanating from the green smoke, which instantly invaded their bodies, weakening their originally powerful fighting power again.

Seastone has always been the most troublesome existence for people with special abilities, and it can suppress their strength to a great extent. At this moment, being in this green smoke, the Five Elders only felt that the strength in their bodies seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, making it difficult to exert smoothly. Their movements also became slower and slower, and they couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.

"This is not good~~"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kizaru muttered to himself, and his body instantly turned into a golden light and fled into the air at a high speed.

Maz was not to be outdone. He immediately flapped the huge wings behind him, and as the wings flapped, a gust of wind suddenly blew up.

The howling wind swept in all directions with great force, sweeping the surrounding rain, gravel, etc. into the air.

The golden chain flew out from Maz's hand. With the help of the strong wind, the chain coiled around everyone like a snake emerging from a cave, leaving them no chance of escape.

However, Kizaru's speed was too fast. Although the golden chain came at him with great force, it still couldn't catch up with his figure that turned into golden light. They could only watch him escape from the encirclement of the chains at an extremely fast speed, rushing away into the distance, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

But the others were not so lucky. After being entangled by the golden chain, their movements became increasingly restricted.

Faced with this excellent opportunity, the Seraphim would naturally not let it go easily.

The one with the strongest combat power and the least affected at this moment is Shanks.

Unlike those powerful people who rely on the power of devil fruits to fight, Shanks himself is not a power user, so there is no possibility that he will be restrained by seastone smoke or other means against power users.

Shanks' eyes were sharp, scanning the surrounding area like a hawk at the approaching Seraphim. Although the situation was extremely unfavorable to his side, there was no fear on his face. Instead, there was an indomitable determination and domineering aura.

He moved his feet slightly, and his figure instantly turned into a shadow. He rushed towards the Seraphim, and swung the Western sword in his hand to make a series of sharp sword flowers. Each sword flower accurately stabbed at the vital parts of the Seraphim. The speed was so fast and the angle was so tricky that the Seraphim did not dare to be careless at all.

For a moment, rain and sword shadows intertwined, and the sounds of collision and whistling were endless. Shanks, with his own strength, forcibly tore a hole in the encirclement of the Seraphim, temporarily stabilizing the situation, allowing the Five Elders and Warring States who were affected by various situations and were in a bitter battle around them to see a glimmer of hope to turn the tide of the battle.
