Lucy followed Ma Yin into a building. The building was spacious and seemed to be a hall. Several of the pillars supporting the hall were broken, and rubble scattered all over the ground. The decorations in the hall were much more gorgeous than the buildings Lucy and the others had seen before. Unfortunately, even Morodo didn't have the mood to study the buildings where the nobles lived. Everyone looked out of the window.
In the distance outside the window, the gray shadow continued to grow. The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the spinning sand continued to engulf the buildings. In an instant, they had already arrived at the building where Lucy and the others were hiding. Just as Ma Yin lifted a stone slab to block the window, the building shook violently, and strands of dust fell from the ceiling. At this moment, it was as if the entire world was trembling.
A piece of gravel fell on Morodo's liquid helmet, and the scholar looked up. Suddenly, his expression changed and he pointed at his head and shouted, "Look over there."
Lucy looked over and saw a crack appear on the ceiling. The crack continued to extend and split until it covered half of the dome in the hall. Suddenly, with a crack, a large rock fell down, and a large amount of sand immediately poured down from the gap in the dome. Like a domino, the dome collapsed, and a large amount of yellow sand sprinkled down from above.
Seeing that he would be buried alive if he stayed in the building any longer, a huge gravitational force appeared, sucking in the gravel, gravel, and the people in the building. Ma Yin's expression changed drastically. The power of the hurricane exceeded his imagination. He only had time to shout "Be careful" before he saw the soldiers sucked up one by one, rolling them out of the building along with the sand and stones that flew backwards.
Lucy also flew up. Although she was shocked, she wasn't flustered. The protective shield and Origin Energy Barrier of her protective suit opened one after another. Xiao Qi landed in her hand and quickly squirmed. In an instant, it covered Lucy's arm, as if it was putting on a metal armor for her. A few nail cables shot out from the front of the armor and pierced into the wall beside him in an attempt to fix Lucy in place.
Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, and the mighty force of the hurricane's rotation even peeled off the wall. The wall disintegrated in the wind, and Lucy was unable to fly up on her own. On the way, a two-meter-long pillar flew over. Just as it was about to hit Lucy, a petite figure shot under the pillar. Purple Qi erupted and smashed the pillar into pieces.
Angeloni leaped towards Lucy and hugged her tightly, burying Lucy's head in her chest. When they encountered obstacles, they were shattered by Angeloni's arched back. The two of them were swept out of the building and flew into the air.
Lucy could barely see through the gap, but all she could see was a sky full of yellow sand and all kinds of debris in the sand. Occasionally, one or two soldiers could be seen, but soon no one could be seen. Even the Marquis of Main had disappeared.
Only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard. Countless sand scraped past barriers and shields. Occasionally, large blocks of obstacles would be blown up by Angeloni in advance. In this chaotic world, Lucy could not see anything that she could refer to. It was as if she and Angeloni were the only two people left on the Eternal Night Star.
At this moment, Lucy suddenly felt that something was wrong. The golden rose emitted a strange fluctuation, and golden roses continuously appeared beside Lucy. Suddenly, all the flowers swayed violently, as if they had been blown by a strong wind. The petals scattered, and a strong and invisible impact landed on Lucy's body.
She felt a pain in her head and her vision blurred. Angeloni seemed to be shouting something, but her voice seemed to come from afar and couldn't be heard clearly.
In a daze, Lucy seemed to hear someone say "eh" in her ear, and then the world of wind and sand in her eyes suddenly disappeared.
Her line of sight was dark, and it was as if Lucy had fallen into a world without light. Following that, a fire lit up. At first, the light was very weak, gradually brightened, and then dazzled. When she came back to her senses, a burning world appeared in her eyes.
The sky was filled with dancing sparks, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur. The pungent, spicy smell almost made her cry. Looking ahead, the earth split open into long and wide cracks, and the cracks in the ground spat out raging flames wantonly. The streams of fire were like many arms reaching towards the sky, as if they were trying to catch something.
In an extremely distant place, a mountain peak was surrounded by flames. When Lucy's gaze fell on it, her line of sight suddenly zoomed in. She saw countless figures wrapped in flames at the foot of the mountain desperately climbing up, and even more figures fell down the mountain halfway. At the peak, the top of the mountain had been cut off, and there was a throne standing on the platform. A man sat on the throne. His eyes were closed, but his facial features were extremely dignified. There was a flame emblem on his forehead.
When Lucy's gaze fell on the emblem, the entire emblem lit up, and blazing flames sprayed out from every line, instantly enveloping the man and the throne. For some reason, Lucy clearly only saw a ball of flames, but she also saw a pair of eyes.
That pair of eyes was slowly opening.
Flames flashed in his eyes, as if there were planets born and disappearing at every moment, playing out the cycle of the universe.
Then she saw Angeloni's eyes, and her face that was gradually becoming clearer. Angeloni was gently patting her cheek and shouting, "Your Highness, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere? "
After a few seconds of daze, Lucy came back to her senses. She held Angeloni's arm and exhaled after confirming that it wasn't an illusion. She wanted to stand up, but she was held down by Angeloni and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get up, Your Highness. Lie down for a while and I'll check if you're injured. "
She raised her hand and stretched out her palm, pressing it on Lucy's body and slowly swiping it across, carefully sensing the condition of Lucy's body. After checking it from head to toe and finding that it was fine, Angeloni heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's okay, Your Highness. It's great that you're not injured. "
”
When Angeloni helped her up, Lucy saw a long wound on her right thigh. The protective clothing had been cut open and torn off, and the flesh was rolling. Lucy hurriedly took out the medical kit and used the field surgical equipment inside to treat Angeloni's wound.
After Lucy finished a brief trauma surgery, Angeloni said in surprise, "I didn't expect Your Highness to have such skills."
Lucy smiled and said, "There was a guy who was always injured and didn't know how to take care of himself. I had no choice. I only learned a little about first aid, and now it's come in handy. "
"That guy is Your Highness' beloved, right?" Angeloni blinked.
Lucy put away her things and stood up, not answering her question. Looking around, there was yellow sand everywhere. Only a corner of the building buried in the sand was visible. It seemed that the two of them were no longer on the original platform.
"We seem to have been separated from everyone," Lucy said.
"When Your Highness was unconscious, I observed the surroundings," Angeloni said. "We are indeed no longer on the original platform. Judging from the wind and speed of the hurricane, I'm afraid that we would have been swept a few kilometers away. Fortunately, after the hurricane disappeared, the field of vision became much clearer. Look, that should be the Holy Mountain, right? "
She raised her finger and a mountain peak could be vaguely seen in the distance.
Lucy nodded and asked, "Annie, did you see an illusion just now?"
"Illusion?" Angeloni shook her head and said, "You suddenly lost your will just now. I was only focused on protecting you and didn't see any illusions."
"I see." Lucy looked at the Holy Mountain in the distance. "Do you remember what Mr. Morodo said about the temple? I had suspected that there was some kind of power or will in the temple, but now I'm sure. There was a man in the illusion I saw just now. I lost consciousness because I came into contact with his will. "
She placed her hand on the handle of the Golden Rose, and a burst of light flashed across the surface of the pistol. Lucy said, "The Golden Rose must have felt some kind of threat before it activated itself. It protected me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have lost consciousness just now."
"If it's someone's will, who could it be?" Angeloni gasped, "And it existed a long time ago. Could it be that this person's life is infinite?"
Looking around, Angeloni added, "But even if there is an infinite life, it's not necessarily a good thing. If I were to face this dying world, I wouldn't be able to endure it for ten years, let alone a thousand years. I would go crazy."
"I care more about who he is? But we're already here, and the truth won't be too far away. Come, Annie, let's go to the Holy Mountain. "
"Don't we need to find Marquis Mayne and the others?"
Lucy shook her head and said, "If Marquis Mayne and the others are safe, they should know where to meet me."
Angeloni thought of the terrifying hurricane just now and felt a lingering fear. She then thought of those who had been swept into the wind circle. The soldiers would probably be in trouble, and only the captain and the marquis would survive. As for the scholar, he would probably have become a part of the ruins.
"Come on, Annie."
Angeloni looked up and Lucy had already walked far away. She hurriedly followed closely behind Lucy. Suddenly feeling a chill in her heart, Angeloni almost instinctively reached out to push Lucy. Immediately, the two of them separated. A red light passed through the two of them and exploded into a ball of flames on the ground a few meters away.
It was a sniper!
A purple flame ignited in the depths of her eyes again. Angeloni lowered her center of gravity slightly, and her entire aura became extremely dangerous, like a mother beast that could explode and devour people at any time. Lucy also took out the Golden Rose. Now that Ma Yin and the defense were not by her side, she could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch as before.
Lucy placed her hand behind her back and shook it gently. The silver bracelet on her wrist slid to the ground and quickly drilled into the sand. The Silver Winged Killer had already locked onto the direction of the sniper and dove into the sand at high speed.
At this moment, someone in a building hundreds of meters away scolded, "Idiot, you missed such a good opportunity, and you still say you're a sniper expert. Bullshit expert!
”
"Bastard Gold Card, if you have the ability, kill it yourself. Don't implicate me." It was obvious that the voice of a sniper rang out, and the voice continued to fade away. The so-called sniper expert had already moved his position.
"If you want to kill, then kill. Do you think I can only rely on you? Old Dog, follow me. " A dangerous aura suddenly rose from the direction of the building. Then, a figure swept down from the building, raising a huge curtain of dust. However, it was striding towards Lucy and the other two women.
