'Seagull's' greatest advantage was that it made almost no noise when it accelerated, making it very suitable for ambushing the enemy from behind.

After penetrating through the clouds, the glider bypassed the mountain peaks one after another like a ghost and approached the rear of the battlefield silently. At this moment, the defense line of the blocking troop had been completely broken. The soldiers could only retreat in their own formations while fighting. If it were any other army, they would have long fled when faced with a situation where they had lost their unified command.
However, the First Army's situation was still not optimistic. Once they lost their advantage in firepower, the price they had to pay to eliminate the Spider Demons, who also had long-range attacks, would increase exponentially. Not to mention, there was still the monster-like Black-armored Demon.
With the help of the telescope, Andrea could now see the appearance of the enemy relatively clearly. Other than the strange and exaggerated armor that was covered in veins, it was also holding a huge halberd. No matter how she looked at it, it looked like a heavy-armored warrior. However, the agility displayed by the enemy far exceeded that of the charging Knight. It could also change direction at any time, as if the armor and weapons on its body were weightless.
To Andrea, this was also the most difficult opponent to deal with.
"What's the distance now?"
"1900 meters …" Sylvie's tone was filled with anxiety. "How is it, can you hit it?"
"No." She licked her dry lips. "I have to get closer."
During this process, Andrea had already silently activated her ability several times. The overlapping silver lines in her field of vision had increased from the initial one or two lines to being everywhere. This meant that she had more than ten ways to fire this shot, as long as the target was sufficiently "cooperative." Once she pulled the trigger, the landing point would be determined. During the few seconds of flight, no one knew what the other party would do.
If it was an ordinary gun, she could fire continuously and use quantity to eliminate the probability. However, the large caliber sniper rifle in her hand had an extremely long firing interval. She could not gamble with her precious God's Stone of Retaliation bullets.
Therefore, the safest method was to compress the flight time of the bullet as much as possible, so that the target would be "stationary" in the interval between firing and hitting the target.
"1500 meters!" Sylvie could not help but grab the corner of her clothes.
"'Seagull' is changing direction. Be careful of tilting!" Vendy reminded.
At this distance, it was already possible to distinguish the glider from the large raptor with the naked eye. Although no one would pay special attention to the movements in the sky during the fierce battlefield, all the witches' hearts were in their throats. Even though they knew that the enemy could not hear the sound coming from the sky, they still slowed down their breathing.
"One thousand three hundred meters!" Sylvie shouted.
"Closer!" Andrea placed her finger on the trigger. One second was more than enough for most targets, but her opponent was a Grand Lord after all. She didn't want any accidents to happen.
"1100 meters!"
"Shavi, pay attention to the angle of the rod. I can't pull it up anymore!"
"900!"
At this moment, Andrea activated her ability.
Countless silver lines almost filled his entire field of vision, finally converging into a dazzling pillar of light. At this distance, the influence of wind and gravity was almost negligible.
"What you see is what you get," she murmured softly, then pulled the trigger.
Almost at the same time, the Magic Slayer also sensed the abnormality through the reaction of the First Army soldiers. He suddenly turned around, only to realize that the moment the glider above his head lit up, the God's Stone of Retaliation bullet was already in front of him. No matter how agile it was, it was too late for it to dodge at this moment!
With a loud bang, a blast of air exploded in front of the Magic Slayer. The strong impact sent him flying, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated like snow under the scorching sun.
"Did it work?" Vendy asked anxiously.
Sylvie's face was a little pale. "No … I'm afraid that shot didn't hit the enemy."
"How could that be?" Andrea clenched her teeth and patted a magic bandage on her shoulder. "When I fired the shot, I saw that it didn't notice anything."
For a moment, Sylvie did not know how to answer. Her ability could not penetrate the shielding of the God's Stone of Retaliation, so she could not know what had happened in that instant. But she did see that when the black light of the God's Stone of Retaliation bullet approached the Magic Slayer, the surrounding scene slightly distorted, as if there was something between the Magic Slayer and the bullet. Then the black light abruptly broke into several pieces, instead of piercing straight through the Magic Slayer's chest like before.
"Stop fighting. How's the target?" Shavi interrupted.
"It's … getting up."
Sylvie said with difficulty.
Through the Eye of Magic, she saw that the attack had left several obvious marks on the black armor, probably caused by the shattered God's Stone of Retaliation. The most obvious damage was on the Magic Slayer's head. Half of the towering steeple helmet was shattered, revealing half of the Magic Slayer's cold face.
Regardless of the cause of all this, the fact that the Magic Slayer could still stand was enough to prove the result.
"Sylvie, help me reload!" Andrea shouted.
"We're out of God's Stone of Retaliation bullets …"
"Then use the ordinary ones," she insisted. "Since the Magic Slayer can still use his ability in this situation, it doesn't matter if it's a God's Stone of Retaliation bullet. It's fine as long as we can shoot it!"
"The sky is cloudy again!" Shavi yelled. "Will this guy ever stop?"
Sylvie pushed the half-arm-long "bullet" into the barrel. "But he's already noticed us. If we try again …"
"That's why I'm firing this shot!" Andrea growled. "If we run away like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to fly out of this cloud zone!"
The Magic Slayer stood up again and raised his halberd, his eyes glinting with a ferocious red light.
The dull sound of thunder rolled across the entire valley.
"Reloading complete!"
"Vendy, steady the direction!" Andrea aimed at the target. The silver thread once again connected the target to the muzzle. This time, she ignored the stabbing pain in her shoulder and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Perhaps sensing danger, the Magic Slayer leaped to the side and swung his halberd!
This time, Sylvie finally saw the true appearance of the distorted objects.
They were thin and transparent, resembling cicada wings, but they were definitely not real cicada wings. Molded by magic power, they were superior to any blade and automatically spiraled around the Magic Slayer.
Even though the bullet's landing point was empty, they still reacted. A few of them slashed at the trajectory of the bullet, while the rest formed a wall of blades around the senior demon lord.
The shockwave from the explosion appeared once again and stirred up a snowy mist. The distorted golden stream of light struck down from the sky and shattered the left wing of The Seagull.
The glider immediately lost its balance and tumbled towards the foot of the mountain.
…
An hour later, the shadow of the Deity of Gods enveloped the Impassable Mountain Range.
Following the opening of the floodgates at the bottom of the continent, a large number of Red Mist poured down like a waterfall and flowed through the valley towards the east and west.
Silent Disaster took off his battered helmet and bathed in the comfortable and humid air.
Even though there were still remnants of the humans resisting, it did not affect the overall situation. After noticing the appearance of new enemy troops, Mask fired another three active spears. The other party probably did not expect that there was a hidden shooting tunnel at the bottom of the Deity of Gods. Furthermore, a direct hit on the stone pillar was far more lethal than a projectile shot. After being crushed by the three thick spears, the humans found it difficult to organize an effective counterattack.
Following that, the Symbiotic Demons tirelessly searched for the escapees before their magic power was depleted, until they were all wiped out.
The group of iron birds had attempted to cover the retreat of the humans on the ground. One of the red, single-winged birds had caused him quite a bit of trouble. Not only did he fail to shoot down the target several times, he had even exhausted a lot of his magic power from the enemy's strafing. Be it speed or reaction, he far surpassed the other iron birds. But they did not seem to be suited for prolonged combat and were ultimately repelled by him and the winged beasts.
Without a doubt, it was a victory for the race.
