As the mysterious figure was thinking about escaping and planning how to get out of the barrier...
The Emperor of Humanity and the Crown Prince did not wait long.
Instead, they both attacked her fiercely at the same time.
The Emperor of Humanity advanced from the front at tremendous speed, his entire body surrounded by a scorching aura, as he headed directly toward her.
Then he said while laughing:
"Ha ha ha! Don't think about escaping, you lowly wretch. You will die here!"
The mysterious figure looked at the Emperor, who was attacking her from the front, then looked at the Crown Prince, who was moving from behind.
She frowned deeply.
She realized that the two of them were giving her no chance to breathe.
She raised both of her hands at the same time, one toward the sky and the other toward the ground.
Suddenly...
A highly concentrated black aura burst forth from her palms.
The aura was dark and frighteningly concentrated.
It rapidly spread around her, then completely engulfed her body.
And in an instant...
She disappeared from the place.
The Emperor of Humanity suddenly stopped advancing.
Then he looked around in shock.
The mysterious figure was no longer in front of him.
Nor behind him.
Nor anywhere he could see.
He said in annoyance:
"Did she escape?!"
Then he began looking around quickly.
And said:
"Where did she go?!"
But at that moment...
He heard his son's scream.
"Watch out! She's above you!"
The Emperor of Humanity's expression immediately changed.
He quickly raised his head.
And the moment he looked upward...
He saw something strange.
The mysterious figure was there.
Directly above him.
She had appeared out of nowhere, as if she had emerged from the void itself.
Her black aura was still surrounding her body, while a strange and concentrated black aura was in her right hand, aimed directly at him.
The Emperor realized that the attack was about to reach him.
He tried to retreat quickly.
But suddenly, he felt a strange weakness sweeping through his body.
He stopped for a moment.
He did not understand the reason for this sudden weakness.
Before he could do anything...
And before that strange black hand could reach him...
The Crown Prince moved quickly.
He raised his hand.
And separated the space between his father and the mysterious figure.
A strange barrier appeared between them in an instant.
Then he quickly created a huge magic circle.
As soon as the circle was completed...
A teleportation portal opened.
The Crown Prince quickly extended his hand toward his father and pulled him into it using magic.
In less than a second...
The Crown Prince and his father moved to another location within the enclosed area.
The two appeared beside each other.
When the Emperor of Humanity reached his son's side, the Crown Prince looked at him seriously and said:
"Don't get too close to her."
Then he looked at the mysterious figure.
And said:
"This person has strange tricks."
He paused for a moment.
Then continued:
"Even I cannot perceive them."
The Emperor looked at his son.
Then nodded.
And moments later...
The sudden weakness the Emperor had felt disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared.
His body returned to its normal state.
The Emperor took a deep breath, then looked at the mysterious figure.
She was standing in the sky, far away from them.
But she appeared to be extremely exhausted.
Her breathing was heavier than before, and it was clear that using that ability had drained a great deal of her strength.
The Crown Prince noticed this.
Then he gave a sinister smile as he looked at her.
And said:
"It seems that she exhausted everything she had in that strange attack."
Then he turned to his father.
And said mockingly:
"She bet everything she had on catching you, Father..."
He laughed a little.
"And her attempt failed."
Then he looked at the mysterious figure again.
"Ha ha ha! She has completely exhausted her strength now."
But...
Before the Emperor of Humanity or the Crown Prince could do anything...
Something strange happened.
Suddenly...
The barrier surrounding the area trembled.
The Crown Prince's expression changed.
The Emperor stopped moving.
Something was happening to the barrier.
Something neither of them had expected.
The energy surrounding the barrier suddenly began to change...
As if another force had intervened in the battle.
In the next moment...
A strange change appeared in the barrier.
