Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 96 Urutia

"You can call me Saludi."

The short man wearing a totem mask spoke with a smile.

However, Henia did not pay attention to the word "Sarudi" that the other party used to refer to himself.

Henia recognized the other party's true identity at a glance.

Ultear Milkovich, one of the Seven Kin of the Demon Heart, possesses the lost magic, the Arc of Time.

Generally speaking, given Ultear's mastery of transformation magic, almost no mage can see through her disguise.

However, Henia is different; he is someone who knows the "plot" very well.

There are only two possibilities for Ultear's appearance here: either the old man who luckily obtained the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal has actually mastered some incredible dark magic item.

Secondly, the other party was acting on Gerald's orders to come and observe him.

Henia prefers the latter.

He remembered clearly that when he was a child, he had seen Gerald in a prison wagon when he was captured by slave traders from the Dark Guild.

After all, the other party's blue hair and the tattoo on his right cheek were too easy to identify.

At this time, Ultear is also by Jellal's side, which can be considered a form of surveillance, supervising Jellal to complete the construction of the Tower of Paradise.

It's not surprising that Gerald, as a member of the Magic Council, recognized Henia after receiving her message.

A little investigation would reveal the unusual changes in Henia, so it would be reasonable to send Urtia to investigate further.

However, Urutia's true purpose in all of this remains unknown.

Henia looked at Ultear, who was in disguise, and instead of responding, she raised her hand and released a lightning spell to attack him directly.

Urudia had clearly anticipated Henia's move, but this attack was not a simple probe, but the beginning of a series of offensives.

As Ultear rolled away to dodge the first bolt of lightning, nearly a hundred lightning arrows, condensed into arrows, appeared above her, locking onto all her escape routes.

The next instant, all the lightning arrows fell simultaneously, heading straight for Urutia.

Faced with this almost unavoidable attack, Ultear dared not be careless and had no choice but to use her own Arc of Time magic to defend herself.

In an instant, all the rapidly falling lightning arrows seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and they all stopped in mid-air.

Even the lightning leaping on the arrows remained frozen in time.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so short-tempered."

Although Urudia spoke casually, she was far from relaxed inside.

She is currently in a disguised state due to transformation magic, making it difficult for her to unleash her full power.

This level of time magic is already the limit of what she can currently achieve.

Moreover, judging from the magical power she sensed from Henia, the numerous lightning arrows high in the sky were not the full manifestation of Henia's power.

It's truly terrifying magic.

More importantly, even after close contact, Ultear did not sense any dark magic aura from Henia.

So, where did Henia get her current power?

"Don't you remove the disguise? You can't unleash the full power of time magic in this state."

Henia spoke calmly, but to Urutia, her words were like a raging storm.

"?!" Ultear remained silent. Although she didn't show it, she had already begun to consider unleashing a burst of power after dismantling her disguise and then retreating.

But at that moment, the lightning arrows that she had been able to barely handle suddenly became much more powerful.

After briefly disrupting Ultear's thoughts with words, Henia began working on breaking the time magic.

Seeing Ultear struggling to resist, Henia, while experiencing the strange stagnation brought about by the time magic, tried to break the limitations of the time magic in other ways.

Simply changing the form of magic output cannot break through it; in other words, at the same level of magic power, mere technique cannot counter time magic.

Then let's increase the magic output.

With a thought in mind, as the magical energy within Henia rapidly increased, the magic circle in the sky that created the lightning arrows also became increasingly violent and dangerous.

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar that seemed to tear the sky apart, the power of time magic could no longer stop the lightning.

After being blocked for so long, these lightning arrows had accumulated far greater power than before, and they all burst forth in this instant!

Lightning engulfed the earth, and an extremely terrifying force erupted instantly in this swamp.

Even though they were far away, the dark guild mages hiding in the shadows couldn't help but tremble with fear, uttering uttered terrified gasps.

After the intense light subsided, the land ravaged by lightning slowly revealed its dilapidated state.

However, amidst this dilapidated and broken scene, there stood the beautiful figure of a woman in a white dress.

"What a brutal man."

Ultear removed the disguise of her transformation magic, revealing her immense hidden magical power.

She lightly touched the transparent crystal ball in her hand, and with a strange magical fluctuation, the land within a hundred meters radius, which had been destroyed by Henia's lightning magic, was instantly restored to its original state.

"Time magic is indeed powerful."

Henia was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he became even more interested in time magic.

In his perception, as Ultear's own magical power increased, the effectiveness of his method of using brute force to break time magic was greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, Urutia had no intention of continuing to communicate with Henia.

She decisively activated time magic, briefly freezing time within a certain area, and took the opportunity to quickly retreat.

She misjudged Henia; she couldn't gain much advantage from her now, and continuing the fight was clearly unwise. It would be better to leave and reconsider.

However, just as Ultear accelerated her own time away, she unexpectedly saw Henia, who was in a state of time freeze, staring intently at her!

And it is moving slowly, and its movements are becoming increasingly fluid!

This person actually has a natural resistance to time magic?!

In an instant, Ultear, who was well-versed in time magic, guessed the truth, but she couldn't believe it.

After all, this is simply too unbelievable.

How could a human mage possess such high resistance to time magic?

This matter must be reported.

Not daring to linger any longer, Urudia accelerated again and disappeared into the swamp in an instant.

Shortly after Ultear left, Henia's time magic finally dissipated, and he returned to normal.

Similarly, he also noticed the special changes he had undergone within the time magic.

"Resistance to time magic —"

Could this also be a manifestation of the power of the Black Mist Space?

Henia looked up at the sky, then slowly shook her head after a moment, turning her gaze back to the ancient castle in the center of the swamp.
