"Guardians of the Forest? I have no idea where those fellows popped out from. Then, they started talking about protecting your family's forest. If you were to chase them away, not only will you lose your forest, you will also lose your manor and your old horse. How are they guardians? They are obviously a bunch of bandits — — An unlucky fellow who lost his own forest and manor. "
As a radical nature protector, Druil's reputation has never been too good. As a former Guardian of the Forest (A radical Druil organization that tends to protect nature and vegetation), even though she has been intentionally avoiding her past experiences, we are still able to guess many things.
Judging from the heavy makeup that she has been putting on recently, she is most likely a wanted criminal on the Surface with a guilty conscience. Also, judging from her outstanding fighting skills and strength, the bounty on her head is probably quite high. However, at this moment, I can't help but feel grateful for the sharp reflexes that came from her rich combat experience.
"Kolos!!"
Under the support of a Blood Mage, the reckless brat has already reached the edge of the SemiGod battlefield. Subconsciously calling out Kolos's name is the only possibility of saving her life.
Fortunately, Kolos doesn't disappoint me. Just by calling out her name, she knows what to do.
"Lightning Cage!!"
As a derivative of the Four Great Elemental Magic Wind Magic, Lightning Magic is famous for its high attack power from the very start. Unlike Fire Magic, which is also one of the two Great Cannons, which has high attack power and a large area of effect, Lightning Magic is famous for its high speed, high frequency, and suddenness.
Different from Elemental Mages who can directly control the power of the elements, Druil has two ways of controlling lightning. One is direct control, similar to Mages, and the other is indirect control of nature and the weather. Although it has many weaknesses such as inconvenient control and the need to calculate in advance, lightning descending from the sky is more powerful and has a longer range. Furthermore, its concealment and suddenness make it impossible to guard against, making it the first choice of the Storm Druil.
As a Storm Druil who was once proficient in summoning lightning, the dark clouds covering the sky actually increased his strength greatly. The temporary Saint-rank Kolos gives up on chanting and uses her will to guide the dark clouds to send down lightning. The moment she chants the name of the Divine Art, seventeen consecutive lightning bolts strike down, forming a lightning barrier. However, the barrier isn't the enemy, but the blindly charging Knight.
[Sixth-Circle Storm Druil Divine Art: Summon a barrier made of lightning to block and hinder the enemy's movement. In its original state, there are six lightning pillars, which can be lengthened and widened according to the user's ability. Once the barrier is touched, the lightning will explode. — — "In a lightning storm, what you want is definitely not an umbrella, but a lightning rod. What? You're holding a lightning rod, but you're hit? Alright, I'll be straightforward. The 'lightning rod' refers to a foolish spearman who runs around on a rainy day with a spear. Remember to recruit spearmen with a high salary and buy insurance for them. It's everyone's responsibility to protect spearmen. Please support the automatic insurance plan to protect spearmen. "]
"Tss tss tss tss!"
With the temporary Saint-rank buff, the original six lightning bolts became seventeen, and fifteen of them only played the role of blocking the path. Only two of the weakest lightning bolts struck right on top of Seiji's head, using the swimming plasma to remind this naughty child that she had touched the edge of the most dangerous bottom line.
Unfortunately, although the Aurora Knight was one of the very few top-level Magic Pet Knight that could achieve telepathy with her mount, Renée was also one of the very few noob Knight that didn't have any positive effects. Instead, she would affect her mount's judgment and actions.
"Tss tss tss tss tss!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Frigid Maw Shiva, who had already discovered the lightning cage, hurriedly stopped. Renée, who didn't react in time, wanted to charge forward. Under the clash of two wills, the originally successful Wild Charge still took one more step forward and directly crashed into the lightning barrier, causing the lightning bolts to explode. The lightning bolts wandered around Renée and Shiva's bodies. Judging from the pitiful screams, they were at least Medium Rare.
Everything that happened in the next second proved that it was indeed worth it.
Not far away, a dark-green ball of venom suddenly landed on the ground and corroded the ground. Without a sound, a five-meter wide hole appeared in the ground.
The Nine-headed Dragon's eighteen eyes had no blind spots at all. His field of vision was incredibly wide. Even though his physical body was tightly bound, how could he not notice our arrival and Renée's charge? And so, the venom-spitting dragon head casually spat out dragon breath, which was more than enough to deal with her.
If Renée hadn't been stopped by the lightning cage, based on the Nine-headed Dragon's precise calculations, she would have been hit by the ball of venom and corroded into nothingness.
If it wasn't for Kolos's timely reaction, I would have been thinking about what I should write on this naughty brat's grave.
"This foolish princess's dream was to be like the main character in a legendary Knight's novel, charging towards a gigantic dragon. It was a pity that she only met a windmill, until that day when she met a SemiGod Nine-headed Dragon. She realized her dream and proved her courage. Then … she charged towards a SemiGod, so what then! Let's just say it like this: Renée Qin Mist, died in AD1897 at the age of 14. Cause of death: Poisoning from a Knight's novel! "
But at this moment, I didn't have the heart to discipline her, because there were more troublesome matters to deal with.
Seeing that Renée had escaped from death, the Ottoman State Teacher Marsolit in front of him had a look of pity on his face. The only thing missing was a 'why didn't I die' expression.
"What a pity. If I had succeeded in my charge just now, I might have been able to deal a fatal blow to the evil dragon."
Fatal blow? A newbie Knight who had barely reached the Gold-rank in terms of overall combat power against a SemiGod Hydra? Even if I managed to hit him, I would probably be ignored. This shoddily made up story that didn't use my brain at all, this worry that was so fake that it was a complete insult to my intelligence as the 'one being deceived.'
But in reality, there was no need for me to guess the other party's intentions. He was here to scheme and murder.
Evidence? This city was currently in the Great Judgement phase, so it was normal for him to suddenly appear. However, from the moment he cast the 'Berserk Bloodlust' spell on Renée, his body was covered in a layer of bright red light of sinners. This was the judgement of the Judgement spell for attempted murder.
Why did he want to find trouble with Renée? Didn't he want to kill Roland? Actually, after I tore off my clothes, I dashed back to the Church in an ice armor, almost naked. After which, I changed into a male Knight's attire. The ice armor covered my face, but it was obvious that I was a male under the heavy armor, so it was impossible for me to be mistaken as a male. On the other hand, the mission that Marsolit received was' Kill the Shadow Princess of the Mist Royalty. She is an Aurora Knight and her overall combat power is around Gold-rank. '
Previously, Renée's strength couldn't be hidden from the true experts. She didn't even reach Bronze-rank, so how could she advance to Silver-rank Aurora Knight? Thus, from the very start, Marsolit treated Renée as the 'Shadow Princess Roland.'
At this moment, Marsolit thought that his actions were hidden and that his position was high, but he didn't notice the fact that he had been exposed. After all, he was an Archmage dressed in a blood-red robe, and what he practiced was Blood Magic that was filled with blood-red aura. This red light was long ignored by him, and the negative effects of 'Great Judgement' couldn't even break through his defensive magic.
"However, it is good that you are fine." He was still trying to defend himself.
But, I didn't have the intention to expose him. On the contrary, I nodded my head in agreement.
"Yeah, I almost … Princess Renée would have been able to make a name for herself. What a pity! She is a true legend. "
Wearing the Helmet of Ice, I played the role of a simple-minded and crude Knight perfectly. The information that I 'accidentally' leaked out further confirmed Marsolit's guess. He rubbed his chin and nodded his head in satisfaction, as though he was satisfied with his intelligence and acting skills.
At the same time, I used the phylactery of the Lich on me to ask Rosemary about the intelligence and weaknesses of the State Teacher.
After all, he is a SemiGod, and the strongest person on our side, Kolos, is only a pseudo-Saint-rank with 10 minutes left. No matter how I looked at it, it wasn't worth it to fight him head on. Even though I heard that he is heavily injured, a SemiGod is still a SemiGod, and he definitely isn't easy to deal with. Even if it is just a counterattack before his death, it is more than enough to drag us down with him.
"… Weaknesses? How can a person like him have any weaknesses? Fine, fine, don't pull my phylactery, let me think about it! "
"He really doesn't have any weaknesses. Even if he is heavily injured, he is still able to absorb the blood of others to recover himself, forcefully maintaining the vitality of his physical body. His survivability is extremely high, and if we are unable to kill him, his revenge will definitely be fatal …"
"Wait, you are saying that he is relying on sucking blood to maintain his mobility? His body isn't filled with his own blood and bodily fluids? "
After getting a positive answer, thinking about this, I came up with an idea.
"Anyway, there isn't any loss. Let's give it a try."
Thus, the face under my helmet revealed a simple and honest smile exclusive to a pure Holy Knight.
"Ottoman State Teacher Margolint, along the way, we eliminated a general of the Seafolk and picked up a bottle. Someone said that it is a God Equipment. You are knowledgeable, can you help us take a look? "
In the distance, Renée had already rushed back on her horse with a pale face. Marsolit retracted his gaze, as though he was looking at a prey. Hearing my words, Marsolit smiled.
"It isn't Margolint, it is Marsolit. Do you Knight whose muscles grow all the way to your brains know what a God Equipment is … Un? It really is a little weird, let me take a look! "
The ancient bronze bottle was filled with the scent of history. Although there wasn't a single ripple of magic, it seemed to be made of brand-new materials. This meant that time didn't mean anything to him and it also proved that it was extraordinary for it to have transcended history.
"It really is a treasure. It is a pity that the original God of the God Equipment has fallen and the God Power of this God Equipment has been exhausted. The remaining use of it can only be considered as a toy with some special effects … Let me study it for a while. When the matter at hand is over, I will reward you handsomely."
Judging from the gleam in his eyes and the malicious smile on his face, I can guess that in Marsolit's eyes, all of us are already dead people. Thus, the generous reward he would give us is to send us to a comfortable death.
"Thank you, Lord Ma Bier! Hehe, I am lacking a wife. My hometown, Xiao Fang, has been waiting for me for many years. "
"Not Ma Bier … Forget it, you can call me whatever you want."
However, right after that, the Blood Mage focused all of his attention on this ancient bottle.
The attractiveness of a God Equipment to a Mage was self-evident. Even though it was already worn out, if he was able to study a bit or two of the secrets of the Gods, Marsolit's power would probably increase explosively.
Especially since this God Equipment originated from an ancient Sea God. The Blood Magic that Marsolit trained in was a branch of Water Magic, which made it even more attractive to him.
When he finally managed to study something, I laughed.
"So that's how it is. Let's activate it and see … Ahhhhhhh!!"
The God Equipment was activated and a blue divine light enveloped the SemiGod Blood Mage. Then, countless amounts of blood spurted out from his body, turning into streaks of red arrows that shot into the distance.
Due to the large amount of blood loss, the already heavily injured Marsolit lay unconscious in the water.
Stonevilla's Ocean Bottle, the legendary God Equipment of the ancient Sea God. It was said that in ancient times, it was capable of stirring up endless waves. Stonevilla was the husband of the Water Elemental God Ailos, who had created this desperate situation. Although this ancient God Equipment had lost most of its power due to the passing of the Ancient God, it still retained one of its abilities.
[Stonevilla's Ocean Bottle. Upon activation, it can restore the liquid around the user to its most basic state.] This was the result of the System's appraisal.
It sounded confusing, but it was actually easy to understand after using it twice. Actually, this God Equipment didn't have much use. It could only restore a mixture of liquid back to its natural state. For example, if you were to mix a bottle of seawater and river water, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to separate them. However, if the God Equipment was activated, it would be able to separate them into a bottle of river water and a bottle of seawater.
After losing the support of a True God's divine power, this was basically the most useless God Equipment in history. However, at this moment, this weakest God Equipment in history had done a great service by directly killing off a SemiGod.
Marsolit's entire body was covered in other people's blood. Blood magic was a branch of water magic, so naturally, blood was also a type of liquid. As a result, under the effects of the God Equipment, the other people's blood returned to where it belonged, directly returning Marsolit to his original state of being unable to move.
Furthermore, due to the backlash of magic and the sudden loss of blood, his current state was probably even worse than when he was heavily injured by the Nine-headed Dragon.
Sometimes, the retribution of the unjust came just this quickly, and the manifestation of justice was just this simple. I viciously punched the face of the villain who had attempted to murder Marsolit and smiled in satisfaction.
After that, I stared blankly at the bottle that had fallen into the water.
Around the bottle, the omnipresent flood had dissipated. Obviously, even if it was a city of rain created by a Divine Power Forbidden Spell, it would still be restored to its natural state by this God Equipment.
"Wasn't it said that due to the existence of the two Goddesses of Creation, the ancient world was a female society? So it turns out that the Water Elemental God Ailos was a 'husband'. "
Of course, this was just a joke. However, from another angle, it proved that, from a certain standpoint, the Ancient Sea God Stonevilla's divine power was indeed able to suppress the Water Elemental God Ailos.
I vaguely understood that this God Equipment left behind by the previous husband of the Water Elemental God was probably the key to dispel the National Forbidden Spell, City of Rain.
"Hmph, let's not talk about how we have already fallen out with each other. Why should I help the Ottoman Empire to dispel this problem? Right now, the 'Ocean Bottle' of Stonevilla, which has lost its divine power, can only maintain a space of around two meters. How can it possibly resist against the entire Forbidden Spell of the Gods? "
However, it was very useful now. I kept the bottle and placed it in my bosom. Under the influence of the God Equipment, the surrounding space became clean.
Even though we managed to defeat that unlucky Bloodmage so easily, the problem before us still remained. If we didn't settle everything in the remaining five minutes, we might not even have the chance to escape from the enraged Nine-headed Dragon Emperor.
"Heh, since I don't have enough power, let's try my tricks. Heloise, can you help me contact Longtu Basra? "
