As Astralith and Malacar continued to grapple with the confines of High Mage Mike's Dimensional Illusion, frustration gnawed at their resolve. Despite their best efforts, they remained ensnared in the web of illusions, unable to find a means of escape.148Please respect copyright.PENANAvrX9BLrhJi
"We need to find a way out of this illusion," Malacar growled, his voice edged with frustration as he surveyed their surroundings.148Please respect copyright.PENANAobA7sgwrpa
Astralith's brow furrowed in concentration, her mind racing as she searched for a solution to their predicament. She hesitated for a moment, reluctance flickering in her eyes before she finally spoke.148Please respect copyright.PENANAq7x2Y2eP18
"I didn't want to have to reveal this ability so soon," she admitted, her voice tinged with determination. "But we have no choice. Absorb."148Please respect copyright.PENANAlaPHFwrcU5
With those words, Astralith tapped into her formidable powers, channeling them into the illusion itself. With a surge of energy, she began to absorb the illusion, unraveling its intricate layers with each passing moment.148Please respect copyright.PENANAbdSxLaGj7w
Malacar's eyes widened in astonishment as he witnessed the illusion dissipate before his very eyes, revealing the truth hidden beneath its veil. Yet, their moment of triumph was short-lived as Astralith spoke again, her voice heavy with resolve.148Please respect copyright.PENANALtqlCoEFaR
"Eradicate."148Please respect copyright.PENANApaPyHUuLey
With a surge of power, Astralith unleashed a devastating wave of energy, tearing through the outer covering of the Areala Universe with unstoppable force. The protective barrier, once impenetrable, crumbled beneath the onslaught, leaving the universe vulnerable to the dangers that lurked beyond its borders.148Please respect copyright.PENANAPDF6SAAllR
Before they could fully regather themselves, High Mage Mike sprung into action, his Mirage Domain enveloping them in its powerful illusion once more. Within its confines, he held all the power, controlling the very fabric of reality to suit his whims.148Please respect copyright.PENANAz3CvqH7Qbz
Astralith and Malacar braced themselves for the inevitable confrontation that lay ahead, their determination unyielding even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. For they knew that their journey was far from over, and they would fight tooth and nail to emerge victorious, no matter the cost.148Please respect copyright.PENANA6ezROZPjgv
