The sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

Louis was still pondering who would dare launch an attack inside the academy.

In the next moment, a stream of light lit up in this frozen world.

The bricks on the ground shattered instantly, and a golden spear tore through the stagnant field, the soaring light blasting open the entire ceiling.

The terrifying impact scattered a cloud of dust in the sky.

The person who acted was Lumi.

Her eyes carried unreserved killing intent, instantly tearing through this stagnant space.

This scene imprinted in the eyes of the motionless Louis, giving him an epiphany.

Steel Soul Stream · Level Nine Martial Technique · Time Stop.

As one of the strongest martial techniques of the Steel Soul Stream, to outsiders, it seemed as if the entire world had entered a field of frozen time.

Yet those who executed the attack could move freely within, inflicting massive damage upon their enemies.

But now, upon observing, Louis more clearly sensed the mystery of this ultimate technique.

He had previously joked that this martial technique reminded him of the Sword Twenty-three used by the Sword Saint in "The Storm Riders."

It seems that his words were spot on.

How difficult it is to stop time.

Even if such a power exists, it should belong to an individual, not be feasible for a high-level practitioner of Nine Sword.

Therefore, the ultimate secret of Steel Soul Stream, in essence, is similar to Sword Twenty-three.

It is actually a technique that creates a stagnant space, implementing physical destruction on enemies within, a super-advanced application based on the mind.

Ordinary people, when faced with this skill, have no other way but to await death.

However, the person executing this martial technique was facing a half-elf who has been deeply rooted in the Ense Empire for many years.

The head maid has definitely faced strong individuals who mastered this technique and has means to counter it.

So in the blink of an eye, she broke through the constraints of the [Time Stop] field.

Looking at that golden spear as if it was about to pierce the sky, Louis felt a lingering fear.

He wanted to see which lunatic dared to initiate an assassination in broad daylight.

But in the next moment, he heard the scream of the young swan.

Louis turned to look.

He saw a patch of black ink appearing under the young swan's feet, with the young swan slowly sinking into it.

Alice, not knowing what it was, immediately reached out to grab the young swan's wrist, attempting to pull her out.

But the flowing shadow ink surged and expanded, swallowing Alice as well.

In less than half a second, Louis confirmed the true nature of the "ink."

It was a portal to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Why is it opening at this time?

The head maid remained calm, keeping her spear raised against the enemy, saying only:

"Your Highness Louis…"

Louis replied:

"I'll pull her out!"

Lumi hurriedly said, "No, I mean…"

In the next moment, Louis was swept into the ink.

"Damn it!"

He only had time to grab Grace beside him.

This Libra Saintess was the key to confronting the powers of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Grace blinked, not struggling.

Before he was engulfed by the shadows, he shouted:

"William!"

A few seconds later, heavily armored Iron Guard William landed with a crash, though he sensed something wrong as soon as he touched down.

"Fallen Shadow Nether Realm? Bad, wrong landing spot!"

William, seeing the shadows creeping onto his armor, immediately shouted:

"Lord Lumi, save me!"

It was like a "One saving another, each sending" abstract.

Lumi, who had originally wanted to twist off the attacker's head, watched the engulfed group, anger surging with veins popping.

"Are you adding to my difficulties?"

With Olivia and His Highness Louis inside, it would have been safe.

Now she also had to go in and protect others.

She gritted her teeth, recalled her weapon, and plunged into the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm with a diving pose.

Not long after, another figure descended from high above, diving straight into the ink without a word.

It was the very person who had initiated the Time Stop attack earlier.

Nearby, a young girl waved her cape, the blood aura entwined dispersing the falling glass.

Sandra looked at the person disappearing into the shadow in shock, whispering:

"How could it be, why is it Master Rogen?"

…

[Location: Minister of the Seal's Office]

Beatrice seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.

Her surprised expression caught Qian's attention.

Qian asked softly:

"Your Highness, what's happened?"

Beatrice said:

"Olivia has entered the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm."

Qian frowned, saying:

"Do we need to have the insiders bring her back?"

But Beatrice shook her head, her lips curling into an amused smile, saying:

"It's fine, it's all the same, she'll come out herself soon."

"The Fallen Shadow Nether Realm is much safer for her than the real world."

"Besides, there's someone waiting for her there."

…

[Location: Imperial Bedroom]

The Emperor, sensing something in his sleep, awakened gently.

He chuckled lightly:

"Olivia, I hope you enjoy the grand adventure prepared for you."

But after a moment, his lips curled into a grin:

"Why so many people? A team building exercise?"

The Legendary Iron Guard Rudolph, sitting in the shadow nearby, looked up.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

The Emperor grinned, saying:

"A group of youngsters also fell into the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, including your grandson."
