...
Nearby,
at the edge of Black Water Swamp,
the power of Lost Paradise carved out a secluded space, quietly establishing an independent realm.
Beside Matthew,
one figure after another began to emerge.
This was the Guild Member Summoning Technique coming into effect after much preparation—
Hibbert, Vivien, Lorraine, Camela, Lumiere, Bobo, Li Weiqi.
A total of seven people quickly assembled beside Matthew.
In fact,
just before Hibbert's figure materialized,
the crystal ball Matthew held was already radiant with light.
Given to him by Hibbert before embarking on this journey, the Time Ball was a powerful and special medium for casting, enabling Hibbert to trigger the spells within, even from afar, through remote spellcasting.
It was his signature spell: the Time Stop series!
As figures descended one after another,
the battlefield fell silent; everyone's movements frozen mid-air, including those of Legendary-level individuals.
This scene didn't last long,
