Maria simply took a deep breath and silently pulled the golden spear from the ground.
Although she was very worried about Aurora and the others, she couldn't easily believe what the dolls said.
"Are you done?"
Maria held a golden spear in each hand, glancing sideways at the dolls gathered around her.
The dolls were stunned for a moment, then stopped talking and rushed towards Maria.
Seeing this, Maria scoffed and sneered, "You clearly possess the Herrscher powers of the Ice Herrscher, yet you choose close-quarters combat..."
Before Maria could finish speaking, she had already swung the golden spear in her hand, instantly piercing through the body of a puppet.
The next second, the doll's body exploded, and it died instantly.
Although Maria could easily destroy these puppets, the number of puppets around her increased instead of decreasing, all of them maintaining that same stiff appearance.
Upon seeing this, Maria instantly guessed the dolls' plan.
"Using defective products to weaken me? Ha... Is it that your numbers are sufficient, or that my strength is sufficient?"
Maria's lips curled into a slight smile. With a sudden burst of power, she propelled herself like a cannonball into the dolls, wildly wielding the golden spear in her hands, shredding and killing each doll.
……
Meanwhile, Aurora and the others successfully escaped the dolls' encirclement and arrived safely at the baby supplies store.
This should have been a happy occasion, but Aurora remained frowning, seemingly lost in thought.
"Aurora, are you worried about Aunt Maria?"
"No, with Aunt Maria's strength, it's only a matter of time before she takes care of those puppets."
Aurora shook her head, then asked in return, "Agata, don't you sense something is wrong?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"...I shouldn't have asked you."
Aurora sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Xing seemed thoughtful, then asked, "Sister Aurora, it seems we've been too successful? Since those puppets can control the powers of other Herrschers, they must be trying to strip you and Sister Agatha of your Herrscher powers, but so far there's been no movement..."
"Could this be a trap?"
Agatha belatedly realized what was happening and suddenly became alert.
Aurora still wore that helpless expression, while Xing swayed slightly before denying it: "Sister Agatha, there are no dolls around here."
"Huh? How should we escape this space?"
"...I don't know, that might be why those puppets aren't chasing us."
"Who cares! Let's just forcefully shatter this space and escape from it, right?"
Agatha grinned and continued, "Xing, if a doll appears later, we'll need your help to deal with it."
"Sister Agatha, Sister Aurora, you can leave those dolls to me without worry. You can go all out."
Chapter 352 If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected has happened.
Upon hearing Xing's firm reply, Aurora and Agatha exchanged a silent glance, nodded in unison, and then took a deep breath.
"Xing, I'll leave those dolls to you."
As Aurora's voice rang out, a light blue breeze suddenly appeared, gathering and intertwining.
The next second, the scorching waves soaked into the blue winds, turning them red and igniting a fierce flame.
"Aurora, it seems like we haven't fought with our full strength since 1999, have we?"
"Are you fooling yourself? Didn't you suffer a defeat when you fought Nina? If Galina hadn't handed over her Herrscher Core to you, you might have perished long ago."
"Hey~ Normal people would avoid mentioning their embarrassing moments, right?"
"You call that embarrassing? Knowing you're no match but still insisting on fighting, that's not embarrassing, that's just being stupid!"
Aurora's mention of this now seems to be a form of settling scores.
However, Agatha did not refute, but instead chuckled and let Aurora scold him.
Then, the wind fanned the flames, and a scorching and violent fire tornado suddenly erupted, protecting Aurora, Agatha, Anne, and Kiana within the eye of the storm.
"Sister Aurora, Sister Agatha, I can't ignore such a terrifying fire tornado."
"Don't worry, the fire tornado is just a decoy; the real attack hasn't materialized yet."
Agatha grinned.
The next moment, the top of the fire tornado suddenly gathered and condensed into a figure whose appearance was indistinct at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mingling of cyan and crimson flames outlined the figure's clear silhouette.
In his left and right hands, he held a blue longbow and a crimson arrow, respectively.
"This...this is...Sister Sirin?"
"That's right! We'll use the Herrscher of Wind's power to construct a longbow, and the Herrscher of Flame's power to construct arrows, to create our strongest attack together!"
Aurora and Agatha offered their explanations in unison, their Herrscher cores shining brightly, the dazzling light seeming to penetrate their skin and flesh, deeply attracting the attention of An and Kiana.
As Sirin's phantom gradually took shape, the fire tornadoes surrounding everyone almost disappeared, leaving only a few streams of wind still swirling with flames.
"Xing, the doll is now in your hands!"
"Ok!"
Xing nodded emphatically, and the illusory image of the clock that had appeared in her eyes suddenly froze, causing time to completely stop in the theater.
Without hesitation, she gripped the "Time Capsule" and rushed toward the puppets hovering in the air.
Anzu's task is not only to clear the dolls from Aurora and Agatha's attack paths, but also to slaughter all the dolls to prevent them from stealing Aurora and Agatha's Herrscher powers.
At this moment, the number of puppets surrounding the crowd was quite large, almost covering the entire sky.
Xing bit her lip lightly, then chuckled softly, "This is truly... quite a generous gesture!"
To stop Aurora and Agatha, the dolls practically swarmed out.
Although most of the dolls are mindless "puppets", they are still the culmination of the dolls' long-term efforts.
If they are all destroyed, the dolls will be severely weakened, unless...
The power of the lawgiver who governs the law of reason!
At that time, the puppeteers will be able to create as many puppets as they want, and they can also adjust the puppets' strength at will.
Apart from these "puppets" used to intercept Aurora and the others, the puppets were all hiding inside a tall building in the distance, nervously watching the location of Aurora and the others.
Whether Aurora and the others will escape safely, or whether the dolls' power will be enhanced once again, depends entirely on the outcome of this confrontation.
These puppets were far enough away from Xing that she didn't notice them spying on her and simply destroyed all the "puppets".
"nailed it……"
Anzu breathed a sigh of relief, then floated down beside Kiana, and restored the flow of time.
Before Aurora, Agatha, Kiana, and the puppets' eyes, the "puppets" that filled the sky died instantly, leaving only their mangled bodies suspended by thin threads, looking quite eerie.
Kiana was startled by Anne's sudden appearance beside her, and seeing Anne's nearly exhausted state, she immediately reached out to support Anne's arm.
"Xing, are you alright?"
"It's nothing serious, you just need to rest for a bit."
Xing shook her head, then looked at Aurora and Agatha.
"Xing, thank you for your hard work. You can leave the rest to me and Agatha!"
Aurora smiled gently.
Immediately, the phantom of Sirin slowly drew her bow and nocked an arrow. The bowstring, woven from the gentle breeze, was pulled taut, while the blazing arrow was aimed at the barrier that controlled the theater.
Amidst the expectant gazes of both sides, the phantom of Sirin released the bowstring.
Once freed from the longbow's restraints, the flaming arrows soared like a phoenix, emitting a clear, long cry.
As the phoenix rises from the ashes, it flaps its wings, creating a scorching wave, and then suddenly swoops down toward the boundary that dominates the theater.
The phoenix soars through the sky, burning the debris along its path.
Such a magnificent scene attracted everyone's attention. Even Maria and the "puppets" who were fighting temporarily stopped and stared blankly at the phoenix rising from the ashes, which was diving down and dominating the boundary of the theater.
"Is this... the combined attack unleashed by Aurora and Agatha?"
Maria murmured to herself.
With the power emanating from the phoenix rising from the ashes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will surely be able to crush the Dominator Theater!
however……
If nothing unexpected happens, then there will be an accident.
The burning remains of the phoenix along its path acted like a deadly poison, causing it to emit mournful cries and its power and size to diminish.
When the phoenix struck the boundary of the theater of domination, its power was no longer sufficient to destroy the theater of domination, or even break through its boundary.
"What...what is this...?"
Maria gripped the golden spear tightly. Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, one thing was undeniable—
Aurora and the others' hopes of escaping the Dominion Theater have been dashed.
"Hee hee hee……"
"We've already told you, there's no way you can escape the Dominion Theater!"
"Now... the Herrscher powers of the 'Herrscher of Wind' and the 'Herrscher of Flame' belong to us!"
sound off.
The endless flames, carried by the raging wind, swept towards Maria.
Maria gritted her teeth and withstood the attack.
In the instant before the flames subsided, she finally understood the method or means by which the dolls had taken away the Herrscher's powers.
