"Starshoot Team One in position."

"Starshoot Team Two in position."

"All Starshoot sequences ready, now it's the turn for the Holy Domain sequence."

At the northeast corner of a villa's outer wall in the Lonely Diamond District, Sonia pressed onto the combat communication device in her ear. Her ruby eyes remained calm and unaffected, and she silently reported in her mind, "Holy Domain Team Five in position."

Beside her were 'Little Star Forger' Demi, 'Double Curve Blade' Yadas, and 'Shield Princess' Aisha. Among them, Aisha wasn't even a Holy Domain Mage, indicating that within the entire sequence of operations, they were primarily regarded as bystanders at best.

In fact, it was precisely so. Well-renowned Holy Domain experts like Sonia's professor 'Hidden Hand Sword Saint' Trozan and Truth University professor 'Weapon Master' Oreron were mostly assigned to the top three Holy Domain teams, which were truly the frontline combat sequences.

As for the village girl, Vosloda's young master, and the Abyss street king, these newcomers to the Holy Domain, even if others wanted to use them as cannon fodder, they would still have to weigh up whether they could delay a Legendary invader for a second or two. If faced with Legendary mages from the Blood Magic or Necromancy Faction and they failed to obstruct them, it wouldn't matter too much, but if they ended up becoming 'casting materials' for the Legendary mages, it would be utterly disgraceful—internationally disgraceful.

Therefore, Sonia's team was responsible for protecting Prophet Mage Aisha on the periphery, forming a second layer of encirclement. In case a Legendary invader really escaped the ambush and headed their way, they would escort Aisha, do their best to intercept and send signals.

The time was now 6:58 PM, with the scheduled operation time being exactly 7:00 PM.

Sonia looked up at the heavenly curtain; tonight's starry sky seemed even more dazzling than usual. Despite guarding an area unlit by street lamps, the starlight softly draped over them like a veil.

Seeing the village girl could still be absent-minded at this critical moment, Demi, Yadas, and Aisha couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. Without exception, their palms were sweaty from tension, Aisha kept biting her nails, Yadas continually stroked the handles of her dual blades, and Demi expended a lot of effort just to maintain steady breathing.

In the presence of a Legendary, all of their birthrights, their past achievements of slaying their way through the Abyss, their first-sequence magic—all of it was meaningless. A single legendary strike could destroy their Holy Domain, obliterate their physical body, and scatter their soul—they might not even have the capability to raise a thought of resistance.

To make Holy Domain Mages understand the threat level of a battle with a Legendary, before action, the Principal of Sword Flower University, the 'Painter,' demonstrated the prowess of a Legendary Mage—she took out an oil brush and made a stroke across her own neck, and every Holy Domain Mage's neck bore a blood-red scar.

In the face of a magic technique honed to the extreme, any flaw would be magnified a thousandfold.

The one with the broadest knowledge among them, Demi, was also the most terrified. Because his father, the Star Forger Marquis, was a genuine Legendary mage, no one understood the horror of a Legendary Mage better than he did. He still remembered the last time when sparring with his father, a mere flick of his sword by the Star Forger Marquis felt as if the whole world was going to split apart.

Of course, the variance among Legendary mages was immense. Some have elevated their magic to the Demi-God level, some didn't progress at all, or even regressed over time; some could consolidate perfect monochrome Void Wings, others had such jumbled colors in their wings it was like a child rolling around in a paint box; some held an entire set of Four-winged Technique Spirits, while others possessed only one or two.

Nonetheless, they, a group of young people teetering on the edge of the Holy Domain, were now actually going to participate in a battle to execute a Legendary. How could they not feel their blood boil, not feel nervous and fearful?

They didn't even know if any of them would ever advance to become a Legendary in the future, as the Star Forger Marquis was not a hereditary Legendary Mage. Tonight's operation might well become the greatest achievement of their lives.

When we were killing a foreign Legendary back then, I was right there on the scene!

The reason Sonia was the captain of Holy Domain Team Five was simply because Demi and Yadas felt they couldn't defeat Sonia and were too embarrassed to contest the captaincy—not that they acknowledged the village girl's leadership ability. But now, seeing her so composed, they couldn't help but feel a mix of shame and admiration, contemplating why they hadn't yet developed the demeanor of a Holy Domain Mage.

What they didn't know was that the Hidden Hand Sword Saint was currently converting her sword-colored magical power into seven-colored magical power. In the melee last night, she, Ash, and Diya had all gathered some heterogeneous magical power, meaning she could be detected as a Legendary Mage too.

Luckily, she had refrained from using her Technique Spirit's magical power since she got back and constantly used Faded Dream Secret Poison to convert the magic in reverse, or else she wouldn't have been able to conceal her secret. As for Faded Dream Secret Poison allowing mutual conversion, Sonia had only just tried it today to discover that; after all, no normal mage would convert High Wing Technique back to Low Wing Technique.

Becoming a Legendary from zero in just half a year, Sonia felt like a monster just thinking about it and couldn't imagine what waves this news would cause, so she had no intention of revealing her legendary four wings unless she could fully consolidate the heterogeneous Void Wings and ascend to the peak combat power of the Dazzling Star's highest sequence.

However, although Sonia was reversing her sword-colored magical power to hide her identity, she was ready for exposure in her heart.

If necessary, she would instantly convert all her magic into sword-colored power, unleash Legendary rank battle power, sparing no expense to carve a bloody path in Jiale City.

With even the resolve to commit treason, executing a Legendary seemed so insignificant. Besides, she wasn't inexperienced at executing a Legendary, having beaten up a goofy Blood Mage Legendary just last night.

"All teams are ready, operation begins."

The voice from the command center rang out in their minds, and three light screens appeared in everyone's vision, precisely the vanguard perspective of the Starshoot Guard. According to magic power wave detection, the Legendary Mage was hiding inside this villa. Under the Miracle shelter of 'Serenity,' 'Shadow Movement,' 'With the Wind,' the Starshoot Guard infiltrated the villa to scout the situation.

Upon entering the villa, they discovered numerous Miracle Traps through reconnaissance miracles, but thanks to the illumination of the Star Cluster, all Miracles were laid bare before the Starshoot Guard and bypassed.

Simultaneously, the perimeter Starshoot Guard, Holy Domain team, and Legendary Mages had also drafted Miracle Techniques, yet dared not activate magic power for fear of alerting the foreign Legendary.

But once the foreign Legendary Mage attempts to escape, they will face the Miracle Oblivion, the highest sequence in Jiale City, causing the entire villa to evaporate in an instant.

The Starshoot squad entered the second floor, gradually approaching the master bedroom. When a Starshoot warrior gently pushed open the bedroom door, Sonia seemed to hear the sudden intensified breathing of countless people through the communication system, even perceiving the violent heartbeat—perhaps it was just her own heartbeat.

In the next second, a legendary battle would erupt. The mages were tense, fearing being caught in the crossfire and dying; as for the Sword Maiden herself, she no longer knew what she was nervous about.

Was she afraid the foreign Legendary Mage was too strong, or was she afraid the foreign Legendary Mage... wasn't strong enough?

The door hinge, infected by the Serenity Miracle, was silently pushed open.

Through the Light Screen, all mages saw a middle-aged elf male sitting at the desk, hands on the armrests, eyes closed, seemingly dozing off.

Most peculiarly, his hair was like snakes, which seemed to notice something, each one arched, watching the Starshoot warriors, constantly flicking their tongues to warn them. Some snakes were even licking the middle-aged elf, as if urging him to get up quickly.

The mages immediately tensed up to the extreme—discovered!

However, the leading Starshoot warrior took one step, two steps, three steps, and swung his blade.

The head of the middle-aged man was severed and rolled continuously on the oak floor, his snake hair gradually stiffened until it turned to stone. Blood spurted nearly a meter from the carotid artery of the corpse, finally collapsing slowly onto the desk.

The Starshoot warrior took out a thing resembling a searchlight, shining it on the middle-aged man's corpse, revealing a flow of grassy green color.

"Confirmed the deceased is the Legend of Shooting, commencing recovery check procedure."

The rest of the Starshoot squad quickly stormed into the villa, rummaging through drawers, dismantling Miracle Traps. The body of the Legend of Shooting was immediately dismembered and sealed, even further bound by a Miracle Seal, to eliminate any chance of revival.

Until this moment, Sonia and others had yet to react—was it over just like this?

A dignified Legendary Mage died just like that? Without resistance, not even noticing, just having his head severed by the Starshoot warrior, dying silently?

"Ha!"

Aisha suddenly gasped heavily—she was so tense that she had been holding her breath, her face turning red until she snapped back to reality.

"Just... this simple?" she couldn't help but ask, "So even a Legendary Mage..."

Aisha looked at the 'Painter' hidden in the Heavenly Curtain, holding back the words 'only so' under her tongue. Instead, Demi slightly frowned, "No, the state of the Legendary Mage is very strange. For those who delve into the mechanisms of the Magic Faction, a strong intuition should develop, making it impossible not to react to a death crisis."

"Moreover, he is the Legend of Shooting, whose intuition sensitivity can even rival Blood Magic, Fist Claw, Mind, only slightly inferior to the three major Mysterious Factions."

"Logically, the moment the Starshoot Guard entered the villa, he should have sensed something."

Sonia gently nodded, swordsmanship is also a faction with extremely keen intuition. When someone stares at her for over a second, she would notice—though she has plentiful experiences as a beautiful girl. The intuition sensitivity of the Legend of Shooting must be higher than hers.

"He was likely connected to the Void Realm," Yadas suddenly said.

Demi agreed, "There seems to be no other explanation unless he encountered difficulties in the Void Realm, unable to exit in time?"

"Rather, it's amusing that during a time of being wanted and hunted in a foreign land, he still dared to connect to the Void Realm. Do all Legendary Mages enjoy playing with such excitement?" Aisha just felt amused, "Didn't he have any tasks? Could he possibly come to Dazzling Star just to enter the Void Realm?"

At this moment, a message arrived in the minds of the team members: "Begin searching for the second Legendary invader hidden in Lonely Diamond District, a temporary residential search order is issued. If questioned by the homeowner, show this order to request their assistance in the search, perform searches in unoccupied residences directly, and maintain silence as much as possible throughout."

"This is your search area, Holy Domain Team Five."

Sonia immediately pulled up the search area map, her gaze focusing on one of the villas:

Skyline Road No. 13 in Lonely Diamond District.

Holder: Felix Vosloda.
