Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1245: Chapter 578: Temporal Vortex

In an instant, a massive silvery-white light exploded, spreading out in ripples, and this wave of light kept shattering and recombining, rolling and spiraling with indescribable complex patterns.

The immense energy wave triggered anomalies: spatial cracks instantly spiraled and twirled—that was the legendary—”Time Vortex”!

David and Liliana seemed tightly entwined by an invisible scroll, a strong force instantly pushed them to the vortex’s edge.

The rising storm whipped up countless dust, debris, and even shattered remnants flying, they felt as if every inch of their skin was torn with pain, slightest negligence would scatter them into nothingness!

The two supported each other, struggling in the storm’s core with every breath like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Sweat on David’s forehead trickled down his cheeks, echoed with the intense rhythm of life from their struggle, he realized at this moment he couldn’t easily give up, for they bore not just personal fate, but the key to the future survival of all races!

”Liliana, hold on!” he urged in a low voice, meanwhile focusing all his spiritual power to control the life rune waves within, erecting a resilient barrier against the vortex’s erosion, while trying to awaken the ancient supportive power from the World Tree’s hidden roots.

But this chaotic tearing force exceeded imagination, even the runes frequently trembled and swayed in the storm...

Liliana’s face showed fatigue, yet her eyes were firm, ”I won’t let you face this alone.” Her fingers slightly trembled, but resolutely gripped David’s arms, the two seemed to transform into an indomitable shield against the temporal torrent’s impact.

The air became dense and oppressive, mixed with an indescribable sense of instability—

Time itself seemed to lose its linear sequence at this moment, only intermittently emerging past and future images intertwining, some details puzzled, some scenes pained, embedded in chaos waiting for infinite secrets to be unraveled...

”Time-eating bugs...” David’s heart suddenly awakened, the name pierced his soul like a cold blade, representing a terrifying existence or mechanism able to devour and corrupt time’s original structure, disrupting the flow of time!

This was the very reason the Star Gnomon’s crisis escalated to an uncontrollable state!

While both struggled against the fate surge’s invasion, earth roots stretched out robust branches from all directions, rapidly entwining and expanding into a radiant life chain, illuminating a clear path at the storm’s center, building a brief sanctuary for them.

David gripped his magic staff tightly, his muscles straining nearly to the breaking point in the effort to resist spatial distortion, he and Liliana depended on each other, desperately struggling at the vortex tearing life’s will edge.

Liliana emitted a faint green light, seemingly becoming the only uncorrupted pure core in the chaotic vortex.

Her brow slightly furrowed, yet she continued to muster her strength, staring at the Star Gnomon center, deeply drawn by the mysterious force.

David watched her steadfast yet slightly trembling silhouette, a protective thought surged within, more determined to let no dark devouring consume her.

Suddenly, a twisted and exceptionally sharp ”temporal shard” shot crazily from the void.

This was not ordinary debris, but a piece of fractured space twisted and corroded to the extreme, wielding destructive tearing power like jagged blades.

It swept through the air like a beast opening a rotted giant mouth and rapidly approached.

David swiftly sidestepped, but the twisted temporal shard seemed to consciously track his every move, he felt each molecule in the air constantly changing, constantly decaying and recombining.

At that moment, a strange image flashed in his mind—

A colossal giant beast experiencing the cruel decline brought by time’s passage.

Initially, it was clothed in thick vine armor of deep green, its form massive and majestic;

Yet with time’s progression, its vine armor gradually withered and cracked, incessantly peeling and falling;

Muscle atrophy, bones exposed dull gray tones;

Finally, only a skeleton covered with eerie runes, emitting a cold breath like a time ghost floating in the void—

This was the ”Bone of Time Remnants,” a legendary undead demon giant beast that slept beneath ancient ruins, driven by the curse to devour time’s original energy.

Unexpectedly, that ”temporal shard” suddenly shrunk, transforming into segments glowing with ghostly green light and floating unsurely, seemingly containing immeasurable age power of a small ”time remnant”; they spread wildly like evil spirits, silently eroding surrounding life rhythm and material structure.

David’s heart suddenly realized: if he couldn’t control those erratically flow and exceptionally chaotic temporal waves, this catastrophe could not be stopped.

He had to rely on his perception and life rhythm within, resonating with the World Tree’s surrounding veins, constructing a stable anchor point in the sea of consciousness to stem this expanding chaotic erosion from its roots!

In the storm’s center, he closed his eyes and concentrated, his consciousness reaching the limit.

All surrounding scenes gradually blurred and faded, only the earth rune veins and life energy waves leaping, flashing, intertwining into a network structure deep in the sea of consciousness.

He started to draw with heart, a simple yet critical clear small model slowly took shape—

It was a stable point, a small system model resembling tightly wound anchor chains, binding energy threads within a fixed area, protecting them from external chaos interference and disturbance.
