At the moment when [Sisyphus]'s fists beat the woman's body into blood mist, and when [Metatron]'s two swords chopped off the opponent's head, an inexplicable uneasiness arose in the heart of the blond young man.

.

In the gray world, the head was frozen in the air, still at the moment of falling, and time seemed to be torn into countless pieces.

Xia Xiu stared closely at the head that had not yet landed, and found that the corners of the other person's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a creepy smile.

That smile was fanatical, as if foreshadowing some unknown terror that was about to come.

Xia Xiu stood in the center of the world, and the gray and white world that stopped from time to time made everything still.

At this moment, he let go of his spirituality and tried to sense the changes around him, but he did not notice anything that made him feel uneasy.

Despite this, he still felt a strange threat deep in his heart, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind like lightning.

"Is it another root abnormality of the sacrificial type?" Xia Xiu thought in his heart.

Thinking about the possibilities he faced.

He had already been exposed to this abnormal power in the last battle, and the terrifying power released at the cost of sacrifice left a deep impression on him.

"What will it be this time? Or is it the power left by some kind of living god?"

He quickly denied this possibility. If it really existed like that, the other party should have used it without hesitation, instead of hiding it.

"The other party's companion was determined to send this woman away, which means there must be something in her that is specifically targeting me."

Xia Xiu's eyes became sharper, and he realized that the threat this time was different from the past, "This kind of targeting should not be by force, otherwise they would not hide their secrets; then this kind of targeting only has the possibility of sealing."

Already."

He expanded his spirituality to the limit in a world where time stopped and scanned everything around him.

In the sky above, the shadow of [Metatron] was suspended behind him, the sacred light illuminated the surrounding space, and it was also looking at the surroundings in detail.

Although the stopped world brought a moment of peace, this silence made Xia Xiu feel even more uneasy.

"The other party wants to hold me back. The other party should know that if she faces me face to face, she will die, but she still comes here in order to complete her goal... or mission, which means that she has something that does not require direct confrontation.

Something—a sealed artifact or ritual."

Xia Xiu frowned slightly, realizing that he might be at the center of a huge trap.

Didi didi——

The time-stopped world is passing by minute by minute, but Xia Xiu has not found any abnormalities yet.

"Buzz——"

The sound alternated between the roar of death and the ticking of a clock.

The grayness of the world begins to recede, and time begins to flow again.

Then, as time resumed, the enemy's body suddenly shook violently, as if it was torn apart by invisible force and exploded completely.

Blood mist filled the air, and then, the long-decapitated head finally broke away from its still state, slowly falling to the ground with a creepy smile.

Boom——

The moment the head fell, the flow of time returned to normal. The head made a dull "thunk" sound, rolled onto the snow, and finally stood still.

The pungent smell of blood still lingers in the air.

However, when he raised his eyes, the surrounding scene began to change strangely.

It was just a slight tremor at first, but soon, the entire space seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to distort violently.

He felt the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly, and the horizon in the distance gradually receded like a stretched rubber band, and all the scenery became blurry and unreal in his field of vision.

The snow, trees, and mountains were torn and stretched in an indescribable way, as if the world itself was being forced to regress and return to a more primitive, chaotic state.

The cold feeling in the air suddenly disappeared, replaced by a suffocating heavy feeling, as if entering a completely sealed space.

Xia Xiu blinked, and the world seemed to be suddenly thrown into another time and space at this moment. When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings had become completely different.

He stood in a dark maze, surrounded by towering stone walls. The surface of the walls was covered with carvings, which seemed to record ancient and obscure runes.

These runes flickered slightly in the dim light, as if some hidden force was peering at him in the dark.

The passage between the walls is narrow and deep, and the floor is paved with irregular stone bricks.

There is no sky above the maze, instead there is endless darkness, and the entire maze is shrouded in a black dome.

The smell of decay and dampness filled the air, which was unsettling.

"As expected."

Xia Xiu was not surprised by this change. He just felt a little headache. He stretched out his left hand and rubbed the center of his brow.

"A root abnormality that can temporarily seal me. The opponent's real tactical purpose has always been this, to trade quantity for time."

The fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven looked around, and continued to think in his heart: "The other party is holding this thing and must keep it for me to use in the end. There are two possibilities:

First, they need to consume my status on a large scale to satisfy a sealing premise of the abnormality. In other words, the status of the sealed person determines the triggering criteria of this sealed object.

Second, this sealed artifact requires a lot of observation or data collection. The more powerful the enemy, the greater the need for huge observation texts and quantities."

While thinking about it, Xia Xiu began to explore the root abnormality that sealed him.
