Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

After releasing the skill, Chu Qiuchi turned to Nalan Xingyao, his tone tinged with urgency: "Thank goodness, it triggered a critical hit. Xingyao, how much control time is left?"

Nalan Xingyao quickly replied, "Only 20 seconds left, everyone get ready to move! Yichen, as soon as my control ends, immediately unleash your awakening skill. Qiuchi, Yu-ge, you two hurry up and recover your mana, even just a little bit!"

Chu Yichen immediately nodded in understanding and then began to gather his awakened skill. As Nalan Xingyao's mind control effect was about to end, Chu Yichen took a deep breath and shouted—"Radiant Backlash!"

As Chu Yichen called out, the air around him seemed to be touched by some mysterious force, and the light began to fluctuate violently, gradually condensing into a dazzling domain of light that completely enveloped them. Within this domain, the light seemed to possess life, flowing and rotating slowly like liquid gold, as if a miniature galaxy was slowly taking shape at their center.

At the core of the domain, a dazzling sphere of light gradually coalesced. Countless tiny points of light shimmered on its surface like the brightest stars in the night sky, each containing immense energy and radiating a blinding brilliance. These points of light not only illuminated the entire domain but were also the source of the "Radiant Backlash" skill, ready to transform incoming damage into a counterattack, protecting everyone within the domain.

Chu Yichen's awakened skill "Radiant Backlash" possesses amazing capabilities. It can reflect 80% of the damage it receives back to the attacker, and the magic power within Chu Yichen's magic orb can sustain this for 180 seconds.

As the two magical beasts regained their senses from the chaos, they launched a frenzied attack on everyone within the light domain. With each attack, they themselves suffered even greater damage due to the "Radiant Backlash" effect. The team members within the light domain were forced to passively absorb a small portion of the damage. In this tense tug-of-war, the group silently replenished their magic power, while Puyang Minghui did her utmost to alleviate everyone's damage with her healing skills.

Just when the situation seemed about to spiral out of control and everyone was nearing their limit, Nalan Xingyao signaled to Puyang Minghui: "Minghui, it's your turn!" Puyang Minghui nodded firmly and began to gather her power. Soon after, her sweet yet resolute voice rang out across the battlefield—"Light of Nirvana!"

As she called out, a warm pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping all the team members within its radiant domain. This pillar of light not only brought healing power but also bestowed upon them new vitality. Within the pillar, golden specks of light fluttered like phoenix feathers, gently landing on each person, easing their pain and restoring their energy. This was not merely treatment, but a rebirth, allowing the team to be reborn from the brink of despair.

As Puyang Minghui's "Light of Nirvana" gradually healed everyone's injuries, Chu Qiuchi turned to Chu Yichen, his tone tinged with urgency: "Brother, how long can the backlash of radiance last?" Chu Yichen quickly replied, "60 seconds left! How's your mana recovery going?" Chu Qiuchi frowned slightly and answered, "Time is running out. After 60 seconds, I'm afraid I can only cast one more skill. Little Fish, how are you?"

Ji Moyu replied, "I can release it three times because my first skill can absorb 1% of the opponent's magic power each time it is used."

Chu Qiuchi quickly analyzed the battle situation and then decisively said to Ji Moyu, "Alright, then don't waste time recovering your magic power now. Attack the dying magical beast outside directly. Its movement speed has been greatly reduced. If you can hit it twice out of your three attacks, it will be dead!"

Ji Moyu immediately understood Chu Qiuchi's intention. He swiftly gathered his inner magic and unleashed his skill—Netherworld Blood Spike—at the monster outside. The first strike hit its target accurately; the monster let out a painful howl and collapsed instantly, clearly unable to fight any longer. Just as Ji Moyu was about to press his advantage and launch another attack, Nalan Xingyao stopped him in time: "Brother Yu, this one is already on its last legs. You switch to attacking the other one; leave this one for Qiuchi to handle!"

Ji Moyu and Chu Qiuchi quickly grasped Nalan Xingyao's tactical intentions, nodding in understanding. Ji Moyu then adjusted her target, shifting her attention to another magical beast, while Chu Qiuchi prepared to deliver the final blow to the already heavily injured beast.

The other monster, suffering massive reflected damage from the shield formed by the relentless attacks on Chu Yichen's radiant energy, was rapidly losing its life force. Ji Moyu seized the opportunity, unleashing his Netherworld Blood Spike once more, the skill hitting its target precisely. A burst of excited cheers erupted from the team; victory seemed within reach.

"Little Fish, you have one last chance to make a move. Don't rush into action. Wait until I finish my attack before you make your move."

"Yes!" His gaze was firm, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the crucial moment. The entire team waited with tension and excitement, knowing that just one more perfect coordination would end the battle in their favor.

Time ticked by in the tense battle. As the shield from the backlash of light slowly dissipated, Chu Qiuchi couldn't wait to unleash her skills. She roared, "Little rabbits, watch me turn you into roasted rabbits!" and activated her first skill—"Endless Fireballs." Four blazing fireballs roared out, one of which struck the dying Flame Giant Tooth Rabbit precisely, instantly annihilating it. Although the other Flame Giant Tooth Rabbit dodged two of the other three fireballs, the last one still struck it accurately, causing its life force to drop slightly again.

Therefore, the Fiery Giant-Toothed Rabbit did not fall. It quickly stood up and launched a fierce fire attack on them. Seeing this, Chu Qiuchi hurriedly shouted, "Xingyao, brother, get out of the way!" But the flames were too fast, and Chu Yichen and Nalan Xingyao were still hit. They were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up again. Clearly, this attack had inflicted fatal injuries on them.

Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu exchanged a quick glance. Chu Qiuchi said firmly, "Minghui, hold on! Maintain formation! I'll draw its fire and attention. Little Fish, the final blow is up to you!" With that, she bravely approached the Fiery Giant-Toothed Rabbit, successfully drawing its full attention. The Fiery Giant-Toothed Rabbit then attacked her. The rabbit was too fast; Chu Qiuchi couldn't dodge and was knocked away. However, her sacrifice created an opportunity for Ji Moyu. Ji Moyu seized this final chance and launched his final attack, hitting the Fiery Giant-Toothed Rabbit directly, killing it instantly.

The battle finally ended in their victory. Despite the heavy cost, their teamwork and spirit of sacrifice ultimately triumphed over the powerful enemy.

The smoke of battle had barely cleared when Ji Moyu rushed to Chu Qiuchi, his movements gentle yet urgent as he carefully lifted her into his arms. Chu Qiuchi, having been too close to the magical beast, had suffered the most severe injuries in the battle and was now unconscious.

At the same time, Puyang Minghui rushed to Nalan Xingyao and Chu Yichen's side, her movements revealing her anxiety, and slowly helped them up. However, before they could even catch their breath, the level 1 Flame Giant Tooth Rabbit in the nest recovered and launched an attack on them. Caught off guard, everyone was instantly hit and forced to exit the simulator.

When they exited the simulator and woke up, they were still immersed in the fear of "death," and it took them a long time to recover. Although they were physically unharmed, the feeling of death still left them with lingering fear, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
