The two peak Full-Moon magus, Magus Leon and Heorgar the Demon Wolf were flying towards the pursuing ships at great speed. Their figures were covered in brilliant light as they waltzed into the dark expanse.
Magus Leon began the attack by casting a tier 7 light spell that instantly illuminated the surrounding space so brightly it was as if another sun had appeared in the area.
In the next instant, a powerful sword-like ray of light shot forward and hit two ships in its trajectory at the same time, shattering them into pieces.
Emery expected a loud booming sound, but there wasn't any, because sound could not propagate in a vacuum. He watched as the wrecked remains of the ships scattered in all directions across the desolate vacuum of space.
On the other hand, the Demon Wolf also didn't remain idle, as he quickly displayed his own prowess.
Heorgar, who had transformed to his demon form, floated in the middle of space staring at the enemy ships before his eyes. His tattoo, which previously had taken a form of tentacles, had now changed its form completely and transformed into a pair of wings stretching proudly on his back.
The demon wolf let out a deafening roar that rippled through the space, before he employed his battle art that caused a bright layer of blazing energy to envelop his entire body. Immediately after, his figure disappeared from his spot and shot towards one of the enemy ships.
The long lance in his hand was brandished forward, piercing through one of the ships with ease, before he swiftly headed for the next ship, as the one he had struck earlier exploded rather majestically.
In just a few short seconds, five of the twenty ships pursuing them were quickly destroyed by the two figures, their remains drifting quietly in the cold space.
However, the predicament wasn't over yet, as now the rest of fifteen ships decided to split up, with half of them focusing their attention and attacking Magus Leon and Heorgar, while the other half ignored the two and continued to chase after the Ouroboros ship.
Of course, the two Magus would not allow the other party to get close to the Ouroboros ship. Therefore, they swiftly turned around and chased after the ships that flew past them, letting the other half to deal with them shooting freely from behind.
A few beams of destructive energy landed on the two powerful magus, as they focused their attention to stop the ships. Even so, within the next minute, the two of them managed to destroy three more ships and protect the Ouroboros ship from being bombarded by enemy ships.
Magus Leon, utilizing his light speed, landed back on top of the Ouroboros ship after destroying one of the enemy ships. On the other hand, Heorgar still floated in outer space thanks to his wings, which allowed him to be more flexible.
The two turned their heads towards their pursuers again and saw there were exactly a dozen ships left. But at this time, their limits to fighting in outer space started to dawn on the two, as they began to feel their body become cold and their muscles turn stiff.
To make this unfavorable situation even worse, the cruiser spaceship still chasing them managed to cover quite a distance again.
Magus Leon turned his head to look in the direction where the Void River should be, as he started to do many calculations in his mind. Eventually, he came to one bitter conclusion.
"We are not gonna make it," Magus Leon said. A deep sigh followed right after, one that was filled with helplessness.
At the same time, as if to prove what he just said, the huge elf spaceship had reached the necessary range for its weapons to hit. Hence, without further ado, dozens of those familiar-looking destructive energy beams swiftly crossed through the desolate space towards the two of them, or rather, the Ouroboros ship below them.
In response, the two magus swiftly cast their defensive spells. All attacks thrown at their direction were quickly deflected away. They didn't escape unscathed though, as the twelve ships also fired their weapons. Thanks to the fact they were exhausted from stopping the cruiser ship's attacks, the two peak Full-Moon magus received numerous wounds on their bodies.
"There must be something we can do! We can't just watch them die like this!" Emery said emotionally, when he saw this spectacle.
Silva quickly replied before he could do something outrageous. "Are you insane? Even a Crescent-Moon magus can only stay two minutes in outer space at most, while peak rank 9 acolytes only a few seconds. What do you think the fate of a rank 8 would be?!"
Fortunately, the argument that was about to erupt between the two was quickly stopped by the sight of another bombardment landing on the ship.
Seeing this, both Emery and Silva walked towards Magus Jasper, who was busy controlling the ship through the control panel and checked on the level of the protective barrier the ship had.
To their complete horror, it said: [Shield barrier: 12 %].
Seeing their gazes, Magus Jasper spoke in a very grave tone. "We need at least five more minutes to reach the Void River, but I'm afraid the shield can't withstand another round of bombardment."
The magus then stood from his seat and said to the two. "I already put the ship on autopilot. I need to help them."
Without even waiting for Emery nor Silva's reply, Magus Jasper swiftly went outside of the ship and started casting what appeared to be a tier 6 fire spell [Fireblast]. A few moments later, a huge orb of fire could be seen floating in space, before it shot towards the pursuing ships, destroying two of them at once with its massive explosion that occurred right after it hit.
Naturally, it didn't take long for Magus Jasper to be bombarded by the other ships with similarly destructive energy beams.
[4 minutes remaining before the ship enters the Void River]
This was the message shown on the control panel of the ship after autopilot took over.
Both Emery and Silva could see the three magus still fighting next to each other, working together in a seemingly flawless manner as they continued to deflect the attacks and deliver retaliation when opportunity revealed itself.
The two watched in silence as the fierce battle continued violently.

[2 minutes remaining before the ship enters the Void River]
A soon as this number came out, Magus Jasper opened the top lid to tell everyone to enter, however, when the lid was open Emery saw the flame enforcer got a direct hit from a powerful beam and his head was exploded like a fruit
"Magus Jasper!" Emery shouted, when he saw this. Disbelief was apparent in his voice.
At the same time, Emery could see a dozen elven magus coming out of the cruiser spaceship. It seemed the other side had decided it was time to finish the deed.
Looking at the new adversaries, Magus Leon's mind ran rapidly, as he made several calculations. He knew something must be done for the ship to be able to escape from this precarious situation.
Then suddenly, Emery heard a voice inside his head: it was Magus Leon's.
"Tell them what happened here. Be safe kid."
Emery didn't even have a chance to say anything, because the usually stern magus enforcer's entire body suddenly turned as bright as the sun itself. Before he could recover and comprehend what had happened, Magus Leon's figure had shot away from the ship, heading towards where the dozen or so elven magus were.
The next thing he saw before he suddenly couldn't see anything else was Magus Leon's body exploding from within. This attack by Magus Leon was probably the most powerful attack Emery had seen until today. Alas, the price that one had to pay was simply too much.
Magus Leon's suicide attack instantly turned half a dozen elven magus into insignificant specks of ash. It even managed to cause the huge cruiser spaceship to shake violently.
It took Emery a few seconds to recover from the shock at what he had just seen.
[30 seconds remaining before the ship enters the Void River]
Knowing the time was nigh, Emery's gaze quickly swept across the space outside the window, searching for the figure of the Demon Wolf Heorgar. There, a few miles from the ship, he saw the man's body floating in the space motionless.
Without much thinking on his part, Emery compelled the spirit energy within his body and cast his spatial magic. The girl next to him who realized this immediately tried to stop him.
"No! Don't you dar-"
Alas, the girl's words were cut short in Emery's ears, as his figure disappeared from inside the ship.
[Blink] [Blink] [Blink]
Emery successively chanted his [Blink] spell, as his figure approached the seemingly unconscious Heorgar. At the same time, the Ouroboros ship was only a distance away from entering the illustrious Void River. But at the last second, with the demon wolf on his back, it appeared Emery's body was unable to move as he wanted.
Not just that, Emery was having a lot of trouble sensing the space inside the ship and his consciousness started to slip.
"Emery!" cried the serpent girl desperately.
[Entering the Void River]
It was as if Emery could hear her voice, just half a second before the ship jumped into the void river, he managed to appear inside the ship.
