Phoebe remained in Oriar, while Raylan focused on performing the ritual to refine the city.
The next day, the once–clear sky suddenly turned dark, with thick clouds rolling in
Thunder roared, and lightning flashed fiercely

Then, bolts of lightning struck the backyard one after another.
Phoebe stood still, watching intently, making no move to intervene.
If she interfered, the lightning assault on Raylan would only grow str

Should he fail, he would be trapped here forever.
The storm grew fiercer,

The ground rumbled, as though shaken by a powerful earthquake.
Phoebe’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. She knew that Raylan was close to succeeding
At that moment, a powerful force suddenly surged from the Horoscope Association’s headquarters, hurtling toward them.
Phoebe watched as a slender crack formed on the ground, evil energy seeping out from its depths.
The crack slithered toward the backyard like a venomous serpent, unmistakably targeting Raylan
For once, Phoebe’s composed demeanor faltered.
Suddenly, she understood the true meaning behind Percival’s cryptic letter.
Phoebe understood that when Percival spoke of Oriar being a cage, he was not referring to the city itself restraining Raylan, but rather that the Horoscope Association’s headquarters had set a boundary to trap Raylan, using Oriar as his prison.
What exactly are they trying to achieve?‘ Phoebe thought.
Her pupils constricted as the horrifying truth dawned on her.
What they wanted was Raylan’s immortality,
Phoebe did not rush toward the inner courtyard. Instead, she took out her talisman brush, infused it with positive energy, and swiftly drew Void Talismans in the air, each (nr designed to seal the evil energy.

The moment each talisman took form, Phoebe flung it into the sinister black crack, trying to patch it up temporarily.
If this ominous force seeped through, it would completely sabotage Raylan’s ritual to bind Oriar.
Every artifact in her possession was pulled out and arranged around the crack, each one set to absorb its evil energy.
Phoebe took the emerald clasp from her neck, unleashing its auspicious energy to assist in suppressing the evil energy.
The
Sky Serpent, sensing the danger, lunged in and greedily devoured the evil energy escaping the crack
Without looking back, Phoebe shouted, “Raylan! I can only hold this for 10 minutes after that, you’re on your own!”
In the inner courtyard, Raylan was struck by lightning to the point that his clothes were in tatters, and his hair stood on end.

But his eyes still burned with determination. He had endured the worst of the tribulation, and the ritual was nearly complete.
Just as Raylan was about to finish the final step and take control of Oriar, a sinister rift tore through the grommal, an Evil Pit surging forth from the Horoscope Association’s headquarters, creeping toward him like a laungry beast

Hayları was not foolish–he quickly realized what the other party was after.
Raylan let out a bitter smile. He had foreseen countess possibilities, yet he failed to anticipate the hidden hand behind it all.
He had endured the tribulation, but it had cost him dearly–most of his strength and energy were already depleteil

he was unwilling to accept it.
He truly wanted to walk out of here, to see what the world had become.
Closing his eyes, he let out a sigh. “So be it. Fate is fate”
Just as Raylan was about to resign himself to his fate, Phoebe’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Raylan’s eyes snapped open. The Evil Pit crack had stopped–around 1000 feet ahead of him.
In an instant, the fire in his heart rekindled. “Ill remember this favor, Phoebe, he murmured.

Meanwhile, in the back courtyard, Raylan also noticed the Evil Pit growing restless again.
It surged toward him, gaping wide like a monstrous mouth, ready to devour him whole.
Kaylan knew this feeling was not a mere illusion:
If the ritual to refine Oriar failed, he would surely be consumed by this force
Just at that moment, Raylan suddenly felt a closer connection to Oriar.
More accurately, it felt as though Oriar was depending on him.
Raylan’s eyes gleamed with realization–it had worked!
As the rift neared his feet. Raylan commanded, “Mergel”
The city shook, and a beam of yellow light shot into his forehead.
Onar fully merged with Raylan, and this time, Raylan was in control.
Looking down at the evil energy rift beneath him, Raylan harnessed Oriar’s po

A deep stillness settled over the surroundings, and the entire Oriar was once again at peace.
Phoebe looked toward the backyard and flashed a brilliant smile. “It worked, that’s great!” she exclaimed.
At that moment, in a room in Solara City, the radiant–faced elderly man who had been meditating suddenly turned pale.
He coughed up black blood, his energy completely drained.
It’s over. All my
my years of planning have been undone by Raylan–how could this happen? he thought.
He felt as though he was about to break down and was on the b

The elder’s eyes burned with fury. “Phoebe, it’s you again he yelled.
