The original Seal of Virtue of the Fist of Terraos was a continuous buff that could last for several hours, while the fake Seal of Virtue of the Fist of Terraos was an ability that could store mana. It could only be activated for seven seconds a day, and did not need to be used all at once.
After Hipamira broke through Andesha's Erosion Whip, she immediately closed the seal. In that instant, the ruby on her right little finger had dimmed quite a bit. She estimated that she only had two or three seconds left.
If she reacted quickly, she could activate it twice, but if she reacted slowly, she would only have one use left.
This was the second time she landed on the ground. Previously, she had covered a distance of twenty to thirty meters with a single step, and she landed firmly on the stone floor. As long as they were still standing on the ground, the power of Gaia would be continuously transmitted to them. With a slight increase in strength, the power of Gaia would be reflected back to the ground at ten times the speed. The ground of the street exploded, and the priestess shot towards Andesha like a cannonball.
Everyone could only see a shadow flashing past. Andesha could clearly see Hipamira accelerating towards her. Although this speed was nothing to her, she was still wary of the Supreme Will Barrier from before. For a moment, she did not dare to face it head-on, and instead took a small step back.
Hipamira saw Andesha taking a step back, and a thought flashed through her mind. Her hands did not stop moving, and she directly smashed the ground with her hammer. Andesha's battle experience was not inferior to Hipamira's by much, and when she saw this action, she understood her intentions.
"Get out of the way!"
The ruby on Hipamira's right ring finger flashed, and the Sword of Shushan was activated. At this time, she already had the power of Gaia, the Holy Land, and the Selfless Spirit buff, and with this buff, she had four buffs. The Mountain's Will buff her attack and strength up to 75 points, and the Sword of Shushan also provided a 30% attack buff, making her 97 points. With the addition of the strength buff, this attack was at the level of Brando before he was in the Colddew Manor.
The hammer smashed into the ground without any fancy moves, and a visible shockwave spread along the street. Andesha's expression turned ugly. She could easily avoid the shockwave if she flew into the air, but even if she couldn't, it wouldn't affect her much. After all, the shockwave was only close to the level of a Limiteer.
She stretched out her right hand, and an arc-shaped green light shield spread out with her right palm as a fulcrum. When the shockwave collided with the light shield, the nearby ground immediately arched up. The impact pushed the soil and stone slabs to pile up in front of the light shield, but the latter did not move at all. It did not show any signs of breaking.
The barrier protected Andesha and the disciples behind her, but the situation in other directions was not as optimistic for the Patriarch.
The former could ignore attacks that were close to the Limiteer realm, but that did not mean that others could do the same. The shockwave swept past the feet of the Disciples of the Black Flames and they were immediately sent flying. One after another, they fell into the nearby ruins. The lucky ones only suffered broken bones while the unlucky ones were pierced by broken wooden stakes. Some of the unlucky ones even fell into the fire and immediately let out terrifying screams.
Andesha's face was as black as iron. She did not care about the lives of these people, but she regretted her decision. She did not expect that this little girl would be so 'cunning'.
At this time, the spectators in the distance were excited. Under the lead of the big guy, they charged forward. The Disciples of the Black Flames were already in a mess from the previous wave of attacks, and this time, they were completely defeated.
"You will regret this!" Andesha screamed in anger. She was about to go crazy. She did not put Hipamira in her eyes, and her target was Brando who was behind her. She did not expect that she would suffer such a huge loss because of her carelessness.
As if to prove her anger, accompanied by her scream, there was a sudden loud bang on the street. Something rolled up the soil from the ground and stretched out.
That thing was so huge and had appeared so suddenly that Hipamila didn't have time to see it clearly. She could already feel a strong wind mixed with the smell of earth rushing towards her. She did not have time to react, but her instincts from the training in the Holy Cathedral allowed her to activate the ruby on her left middle finger.
Her defense doubled, and with the thirty percent defense provided by the Ironhide Hymn, the surface of her Feathers of Light glowed with a metallic luster, and a faintly discernible illusory shield appeared in front of her.
But all of this was useless. The huge object slammed heavily into the illusory shield, and the invisible shield immediately shattered into pieces. The unstoppable force continued forward and landed on her body. Hipamila was immediately sent flying, crashing heavily into the burning ruins behind her.
"Miss Priestess!"
"Miss Priestess!" Everyone could not help but cry out.
Hipamila crawled out from under the rubble with much difficulty. Her snow-white face was bruised in several places, and blood flowed from her nose and mouth. She looked at the thing that had risen from the ground and realized that it could not be described with words.
It looked like a tentacle, but its shape was constantly changing. What was even more surprising was that it was impossible to remember what it looked like just a moment ago. On the surface of the tentacle, there were many human faces. Some were frightened, some were in pain, some were sad, and some were in despair. The only thing they had in common was that they did not have eyes. Their empty eye sockets were pitch black, as if they wanted to suck people's minds into them.
This was definitely not something that should be in the Material World. Hipamira could feel the evil and despair from the tentacle. The tentacle was twenty to thirty meters long, but she knew that its body was even bigger. This was not something she could deal with.
"Run!" She immediately shouted to the others.
Everyone did not react in time.
At this time, the tentacle pressed down on Hipamira again. Hipamira's right hand flashed and activated the Glorious Crown, Martyr's Stand, and Words of Modesty. She raised the Will of the Mountains and Rivers in her hand. 'Bang!' The tentacle pressed down on the Cross Warhammer. Hipamira felt her feet sinking, but she managed to block the attack.
The Glorious Crown increased all skills by 5 levels for 15 minutes. Martyr's Ground increased all attributes by 30% for 20 seconds. Words of Reverence increased all attributes by 10% for 20 seconds. Words of Reverence increased all attributes by 10% for 20 seconds.
Andesha almost thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her. There was actually a mortal who could block Fredrich's attack?
"Miss Priestess, do your best!"
Everyone's hearts that had just been raised calmed down again. They could not help but cheer. The young disciple next to the crowd stopped himself from shouting. He couldn't help but sweat profusely as he wondered what was wrong with him.
But Hipamira knew that this was not a long-term plan. Not to mention the short duration of the Eight Holy Seals, she felt that the monster did not use his full strength. It was as if he was toying with his prey.
This was an Evil God.
As the priestess of Himilud, she was a believer of Gaia just like the Tree Herders. She was no stranger to these twisted creatures. She could even feel which Fredrich was the Evil God.
The Evil God Fredrich, the most brutal Lord of the Ice Plains.
"I have to get everyone out of here." A sense of responsibility welled up in the priestess' heart. This was the compassion and generosity inherent in the daughters of Gaia, the maidens of the mountains.
The tentacle swept towards her again.
This time, Andesha also made a move. She was determined to get rid of this threat before Brando arrived. Otherwise, the combination of the young man and the little girl would be too terrifying.
Hipamila, on the other hand, revealed a card.
Holy Song of Protection.
A white light bloomed between Andesha and the tentacle's attack. This card was converted from Anrolda's Holy Ring. It made people immune to all damage, so Hipamira was not injured. Instead, she used the force to fly far away and landed beside everyone.
As soon as she stood up, she immediately shouted to the girl with thick eyebrows not far away: "Take everyone away!"
After her previous observation, she already knew that the most authoritative person was the big guy. But for the big guy, Miss Adegya's words were the most important.
Although the girl with thick eyebrows had only been with Hipamira for less than an hour, she believed the latter's words very much. She quickly said to the big guy: "Listen to the priestess' words."
At this time, there was no need for her to remind them. The others had already seen that the priestess was not a match for the terrifying monster. Of course, they did not blame Hipamira for not doing enough. After all, everyone could see how terrifying the tentacle was.
Most ordinary people did not know that the strength of a monster was not directly related to its size, and this was even more true for the Evil Gods.
As soon as Hipamila opened her mouth, they immediately scrambled to escape. The big guy wanted to pull the girl with the thick eyebrows, but the latter slapped his hand away. "Go help Grandmother," the latter said loudly.
She then helped the injured Hipamira up and prepared to chase after the others.
The grandson of Ojis' grandmother followed beside them, but he was not afraid at all. The girl with thick eyebrows could not help but pat his head. "Good," she said: "You will be a great hero in the future."
The little boy immediately puffed out his chest.
Everyone fled along the streets. Andesha was not worried when she saw this scene. She only laughed disdainfully. If the great Lord of the Frozen Plains, Fredrich, allowed a group of ordinary people to escape from him, it would be too laughable.
As expected, in just a few moments, dozens of tentacles shot out from the ground from both sides of the street. These tentacles were separated by dozens of meters, and no one knew how big the Evil God's main body was.
As soon as the tentacle appeared, it immediately swept towards the crowd. It could have easily caught up with everyone, but it calmly started to attack the slowest person. The latter screamed as he was rolled up, and then it crushed him, turning him into a rain of blood.
A thick sense of despair enveloped everyone's heads. At this time, even the stupidest person could see that the other party was simply toying with them.
Hipamira also seemed to have seen through this. She stopped and pushed the girl with thick eyebrows aside: "You guys go first, I'll bring up the rear."
"Lord Priestess?"
The girl with thick eyebrows was stunned. She looked at Hipamira in a daze, unable to say a word.
The others who ran far away also stopped. They looked back and shouted: "Adegya, Lord Priestess, what are you doing? Hurry up!"
"Lord Priestess, she … she said …" The girl with thick eyebrows stuttered.
"I'll bring up the rear. You guys run, or none of us will be able to escape." Hipamira repeated to everyone.
Everyone was stunned.
The Priestesses of the Holy Cathedral of Fire would never say such a thing. Their duty was to maintain order. Although the protection of civilized society and ordinary people was required by the doctrine of the Path of the Golden Flames, it did not include self-sacrifice.
In this era, in many parts of Wohnde, the religion's definition of protection was derived from this. It was illogical for the Priestesses of civilized society, especially the high-ranking ones, to sacrifice themselves to protect ordinary people.
Civilization had taken root in this troubled land with so much difficulty. In the eyes of most ordinary people, every outstanding individual should be protected so that they could play a greater role in the world of order, and not die for some insignificant people.
The Priestess was so outstanding, and she looked so young. She should be a genius in any Holy Cathedral.
How could they let a genius die for them? Such selfishness would make even the most despicable person feel ashamed.
Everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks and said loudly, "Lord Priestess, we'll go with you."
"You guys go." Hipamira smiled. The scene in front of her reminded her of the past in the Holy Cathedral of Earth. Every mother's child was glorious and proud before they lost this glory. "I'm the Priestess of Himilud."
Mother's daughter.
The girl with thick eyebrows opened her mouth. "My Lord, we can't let you die for us …"
"I won't die." Hipamira was certain as if she was stating a truth. "My Lord will come to protect me."
"My Lord?"
The tentacles had already crushed two rows of houses on both sides of the street and came behind them. The girl with thick eyebrows looked over there with extreme fear.
The big man behind her was so anxious that he wanted to rush over and carry her and run, but he knew that he could not do so at this time.
Hipamila then looked at the black-robed young man, who had followed them all the way here in a muddle-headed state. "You should run with everyone." She said.
"I'm a disciple of the Black Flames." The young man replied in shock. "My Lord."
"It doesn't care who you are." Hipamira pointed at the approaching tentacles.
"No." The young man's head was full of sweat, and his long curly hair was stuck to his forehead. He refuted loudly. "I mean, I'm a disciple of the Black Flames. My Lord, don't you care?"
