Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 924 - 417: Shuili’s Battle (Part 2)

A sequence of profound roars reverberated from the vortex, akin to the anguished cries of countless demons.

"Dark Domain!"

Salos bellowed, and the swirling dark vortex erupted, surging towards Shuili with immense force.

As it advanced, space appeared to warp and twist, devouring all surrounding light.

Shuili's countenance shifted; she sensed the sheer terror radiating from this power.

Yet, she stood her ground, drawing a deep breath. A gentle blue luminescence emanated from her, creating a stark contrast against the encroaching darkness.

"Sea Shelter!"

Shuili whispered softly, and the ambient seawater seemed to heed her call, swiftly coalescing into a robust azure shield, enveloping her completely.

The Dark Domain crashed against the blue shield, resulting in a tense standoff, spectacular bursts of light, and powerful energy waves.

At this critical juncture, a resolute gleam surfaced in Shuili’s eyes; she channeled all her magical might, preparing for a decisive blow.

"Sea Judgment!" Shuili cried out as the blue shield detonated, unleashing the Water Elemental World Will residing within her to confront the Dark Domain.

While both forces neutralized each other, Shuili harnessed the resultant energy, propelling herself toward Salos with the swiftness of an arrow loosed from a bow.

Salos watched this unfold, stunned by the unexpected display of power; he had not foreseen Shuili possessing such a potent trump card.

He desperately tried to marshal his Dark Magic to repel Shuili's ferocious assault. However, his efforts proved tragically futile.

Shuili’s hands converged with brilliant light, transforming into sharp blades that cleaved ferociously towards Salos.

Salos managed only a choked cry as the formidable force struck him, sending his body hurtling through the air like a broken kite, ultimately slamming him hard into the sea.

Salos plunged heavily onto the ocean's surface, creating a massive plume of water, before slowly being submerged.

His form flickered in and out of visibility amongst the churning waves, appearing utterly vanquished.

The surrounding seawater seemed tainted by his despair, becoming even more tumultuous.

He fought to stay afloat, but each struggle felt hopelessly weak.

The faint glow of his Dark Magic flickered around him, yet it offered no substantial support. He understood then that this battle had ended in his complete defeat.

"No... this cannot be..." Salos stammered, his voice thick with despair and bitter refusal.

He could not reconcile the reality of his defeat, he, the esteemed Six-Ring Grand Mage of the Chaos Realm, felled by a mere witch from the Endless Sea.

Memories of his past triumphs flooded his mind—opponents vanquished with ease, powers that yielded to his might.

But now, all of it had dissolved into nothingness.

He had lost his strength, his prestige, and potentially, his very life.

"Why... how did it come to this..." Salos continued to mumble, his eyes hollow and lost.

He struggled to comprehend the source of Shuili's immense power, her unwavering devotion to peace, so starkly different from his own pursuit of absolute dominion and control.

Plunged into an abyss of despair, Salos’s gaze abruptly sharpened, hardening with an unsettling blend of madness and grim resolve.

He knew that conventional means offered no path to victory, but as a Six-Ring Grand Mage, he possessed one final gambit—Forbidden Power, a terrifying force he had rarely unleashed and never fully mastered.

"You have driven me to this!" Salos's voice boomed, unnaturally deep and sinister against the ocean's roar, "Then witness the true horror of the Chaos Realm!"

He raised his arms high, fingers spread wide, as if embracing the very essence of darkness itself.

The surrounding atmosphere began to vibrate violently, and Dark Elements converged upon him like ravenous beasts summoned from the abyss.

The heavens darkened as dense clouds gathered, accompanied by flashing lightning, suggesting that even the celestial powers quaked at the awakening of this Forbidden Power.

"Six-Ring Dark Demon, awaken!" Salos roared, the Dark Magic Energy coursing through him reaching an all-time peak.

Suddenly, a colossal rift tore open across the sea surface, spewing forth a suffocating aura of malevolence, followed by a monstrous silhouette ascending slowly.

It was a demon sculpted entirely from shadow, adorned with six contorted tentacles crackling with lightning, its eyes like burning black holes radiating a terrifying crimson glow.

This was the Six-Ring Dark Demon, a dreadful entity summoned by Salos through the perilous use of Forbidden Power.

"Despair, Shuili!" Salos shrieked with grim amusement, commanding the Six-Ring Dark Demon to unleash its attack upon Shuili.

The demon's tentacles whipped through the air like streaks of lightning, imbued with a destructive force capable of rending all in their path, sweeping directly towards Shuili.

A grave expression settled upon Shuili's face; never before had she encountered a being of such terrifying magnitude.

But she did not falter; she understood that at this critical moment, the fate of not only the Endless Sea but the entire world rested upon her shoulders. She had to confront this Forbidden Power.

"Sea Guardian!" Shuili proclaimed, her entire form ablaze with brilliant light, standing in stark defiance against the encroaching darkness.

As if hearing her plea, the ocean waves swiftly coalesced into an impenetrable shield around Shuili, repelling each assault from the Six-Ring Dark Demon.

Yet, the demon's might surpassed Shuili's predictions, its relentless barrages threatening to shatter her Sea Guardian Barrier with every blow.

Shuili sensed her own Magic Energy dwindling alarmingly, while the Six-Ring Dark Demon appeared to possess an inexhaustible source, growing in power with each passing moment.

"I cannot fall here!" Shuili gritted her teeth, gathering her final reserves for a desperate counterstrike. "The End of the Sea!"

Her hands wove a complex sealing gesture, her entire being ablaze at its zenith before she thrust forward with sudden force.

A brilliant column of water erupted from the sea's surface, surging directly towards the formidable Six-Ring Dark Demon.

This watery torrent embodied Shuili's complete strength and unwavering resolve, aiming to annihilate the Forbidden Power completely.

The Six-Ring Dark Demon met the water column in mid-air, erupting in a blinding flash and a thunderous explosion.

The very island beneath them shuddered from the sheer impact, and colossal waves crested the sea's surface, reaching heights never before witnessed.

In this clash of Forbidden Powers, both Shuili and Salos had unleashed their absolute maximum.

Finally, after a deafening roar, the explosive force dissipated, sending water cascading in all directions.

Shuili felt an overwhelming backlash surge through the water column, her body reeling, struggling to maintain her footing.

The Six-Ring Dark Demon's power was simply too immense; her most potent strike had barely made it falter, causing no significant damage.

A smug grin spread across Salos's face as he witnessed this. Chanting rhythmically, the surrounding dark elements swirled violently, feeding an unending stream of energy into the Six-Ring Dark Demon.

"Your futile struggle ends now!" Salos taunted.

The Six-Ring Dark Demon roared anew, its tentacles lashing out like streaks of black lightning, imbued with destructive might, and lunged towards Shuili.

Shuili could only muster her remaining strength to uphold the Sea Guardian Barrier, but ominous cracks had already spiderwebbed across its surface, threatening imminent collapse.

"I refuse to yield!" Shuili's silent chant echoed in her heart. Closing her eyes, she drew a deep breath, attempting to draw upon her depleted magical reserves.

However, she discovered her strength was almost entirely spent, leaving her unable to sustain the defense.

At that precise moment, a comforting warmth emanated from the ocean's depths, as if the sea itself was answering her desperate call.

Shuili's spirit surged, and she quickly channeled this benevolent force into her magic.

Infused with the warmth, Shuili felt her power surge back, and the Sea Guardian Barrier solidified, becoming utterly unbreakable once more.

Her eyes snapped open, radiating a determined, unwavering light.

"Sea Fury, return!" Shuili whispered, her hands rapidly forming the intricate sealing patterns.

The entire ocean seemed to heed her command, colossal waves gathering anew, carrying world-shattering energy towards the Six-Ring Dark Demon.

The Six-Ring Dark Demon, clearly taken by surprise by Shuili's sudden resurgence of power, struggled furiously with its tentacles, only to be inexorably engulfed by the rampant waves.

Salos's expression turned grim as he realized Shuili's strength was rapidly regenerating, while the energy fueling his own Forbidden Power continued to diminish.
