I remembered my plan. I said to Elinalise and Roxy:
"You two hurry up and go, I will hold him off.
His target is Rudy. I know Flight Magic, so I can escape his pursuit."
Afterward, I generated another large area of Frost Barrier on the ground, blocking Orsted's pursuit route toward them.
Elinalise and Roxy saw that I could fly and knew this wasn't the time to hesitate. They waved their whips and headed into the distance.
I used Invisible Wings to fly into the sky and met Orsted's gaze in the air.
I continuously cast a saturation strike using Wind Blade toward Orsted's direction.
I didn't cast it toward where he was, but rather along the path he was charging toward Rudeus and the others. The effect was good; my Wind Blade successfully hit him. I saw a distinct redness appear on his forehead.
As if attracted by my attack, Orsted gave up pursuing Rudeus and came after me instead.
During this, he cast Disturb Magic on me, perhaps trying to interrupt my Flight Magic.
However, because I was continuously casting Wind Blade, he only managed to interrupt one or two of my Wind Blades at most, which did not affect my Flight Magic.
I attacked while retreating, creating some distance, and then flew toward the distant lakeside.
Arriving at the lakeside, I cast Abyssal Eternity to compress the water element in the lake. Although it wasn't as thorough as when I compressed it underwater while holding the flowing silver - spiritual pivot with infinite magic power last time.
This time, I still used a large amount of my magic power. A small lake of about 1000 square meters was compressed into a sphere about 1 meter in diameter.
White light erupted from within the sphere. If I threw this sphere out, it would probably cause damage equivalent to a mini-sun exploding.
Not long after, Orsted caught up.
"You are very strong. Being able to use Flight Magic so skillfully and possess the ability to block my attacks—this is the first time I've seen someone like that.
What is that white glowing sphere in your hand?"
Orsted actually didn't attack proactively. Could it be that he thought he had me cornered?
"This is a small sun, do you believe it? If I release it, it can erupt with the explosion of solar energy."
Orsted didn't refute me. He just said:
"Is there something you were waiting for me here for? Also, I haven't asked your name yet. Would you mind telling me?"
"Forgive me, Dragon God, please forgive my previous attack on you. The spell I currently hold is only to prevent you from attacking me immediately. I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I am waiting here to cooperate with you. My name is Daolin Prodia Grellat."
I launched the small sun in my hand toward the distance using magic power, ensuring my sincerity.
In the distance, on a small mountain, a mushroom cloud rose up, reaching a hundred zhang high. Half of the mountaintop disappeared, leaving only the crimson magma at the edges.
Without giving Orsted time to think, I had to gain his trust as quickly as possible.
"I know your situation and your goal. I will not be affected by your curse. I can become your ally and help you fight Hitogami.
What I need is your protection for my family, and an item that prevents Hitogami from seeing my destiny."
Hearing that I needed an item to prevent Hitogami from seeing destiny, Orsted's eye twitched, and he looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, saying:
"I have never heard your name. Who exactly are you, and where did you learn that I possess such an item? Did Hitogami tell you to say this?"
Seeing that he was getting agitated, I quickly replied:
"Don't get excited. I am a fellow countryman of the Seven Stars. I come from the same world as her, so you definitely wouldn't know my name.
Do you know of magic that can transport one back to the past? I have a memory from when I was just born.
In that memory, Hitogami constantly gave me hints, allowing me to gain what seemed like huge benefits, but after his last small request, he caused my family to be destroyed.
In order to find a way to kill him, I wandered everywhere searching and visited many ruins.
Finally, in a Dragon Clan ruin, I learned that to reach his location, one needs the secret treasure of the Five Dragon Generals. However, my lifespan could not support me living until Laplace was resurrected.
Finally, I used up all my magic power and sent my memories back to myself when I was just born.
In the memory, I know that you have also been fighting Hitogami, and you have a way to shield against Hitogami's future sight."
This explanation of mine was basically copied from the experiences of Rudy's diary from that lifetime, which made it seem more real.
As expected, Orsted hesitated. He himself was constantly looping by returning to the past. He was very clear that such magic existed in the world.
Furthermore, the Dragon Clan ruin mentioned in my words truly existed. With the existence of the Seven Stars, he also clearly knew that people who did not belong to this world would not be affected by his curse.
So, he accepted my proposal.
After casting some kind of spell on me, he handed me the bracelet he wore.
Afterward, I told him that I still needed to go to the Northern Continent. If there was anything he needed my help with, he could find me in Sharia on the Northern Continent.
He didn't say anything else and left quickly.
