At this moment, Veronica was no longer as calm and composed as before. The initial explosion had damaged her uniform, and even her beautiful sky-blue hair had been scorched in several places. The blue shield around her was not enough to protect her. The Cruz Goddess of War stared coldly at Brando. The importance of hair to a woman was self-evident. At this moment, Veronica was in the mood to kill Brando.
She withdrew her sword, and the air around her disappeared. At the same time, she turned her sword, and with three fingers on her left hand on her right hand, she gritted her teeth and stabbed towards Brando. A blue light swept towards Brando with the tip of the sword as the center. Brando reacted at the last moment. He tilted his head to the side, and the sword swept past his cheek. The young lord felt a cold pain on his cheek. He did not need to think to know that the sword had hurt his cheek.
"You're that noble Erouine. I remember now." Amman interrupted. He raised his finger and pointed at Brando. His finger pointed at a cross-shaped circle of light: "I heard that you have the [Heaven's Armament]?"
Brendel was taken aback, but he did not dare to act rashly because of Amman's Holy Strike. He glared hatefully at Veronica. This woman actually dared to expose this matter out of my expectations. She's completely different from the Goddess of War in history. Could it be that I've guessed wrongly?
"I didn't say it." Veronica replied coldly.
She raised her eyebrows and remembered Vahina and the others sneaking around. Then she understood. Veronica replied expressionlessly: "But you can also look for me. I'll accompany you anytime."
"My two lords, you're bullying the young. How can you say such a thing?" Brando wiped the blood off his face and sneered. Although he said so verbally, he had already tensed up and was ready to fight back. Veronica would definitely not let him go today, and Amman would not let him go easily either. In that case, he could only give it his all.
Brando sneered, revealing his white teeth. He stared at Amman with a gaze as cold as a wolf's. He was never a person who would put his fate in the hands of others and compromise with anyone.
"There is no difference when it comes to heretics. Anyone who can still move with their eyes will be killed." Amman turned a deaf ear to Brando's words. His eyes fell on the sword in Brando's hand, thinking that it must be the Halran Gaia that the nobles in Cruz had been talking about. The Halran Gaia was not only famous in the mountains of Toquinin. If Amman could get his hands on it, his status in the Holy Sanctum would be elevated.
As for whether Brando was a member of the Templar or not, it didn't matter to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Strike on his finger shone brightly. The golden circle of light in the shape of a cross expanded in an instant, and a light bullet shot out from it towards Brando. However, a green light flashed from the side as Veronica used her sword as a whip and lashed out at the ball of light, sending it flying into the forest in the distance. With a loud bang, a bright spot of light exploded in the misty valley. Veronica turned around and said coldly.
"If you want to kill him, you'll have to ask for my permission, Lord Amman."
"Lord Veronica?" Amman was slightly startled. The High Priest was smart enough to understand immediately. "I understand. Lord Veronica, you want him alive."
Veronica did not say anything, and Brando secretly retreated. Both Amman and Veronica had the power of Elemental Activation. It was unrealistic for him to fight both of them alone. He could not wait for the two of them to fight because of the conflict, but that was obviously impossible. Amman was obviously trying to please Veronica. He lowered his head and silently counted the cooldown of Charge in his heart.
20, 19, 18 …
A cold wind blew through the canopy in the valley, and the forest rustled, but the fog that shrouded the surroundings did not move.
"Well, Lord Veronica," Amman said at this time. "In short, if you want to force a heretic to submit, it's best to capture him first. But compared to that, it's easier to start with his companions." With that, the High Priest turned his head to the side of the forest. Brando saw Amman looking in that direction, and his face suddenly changed. Scarlet had just escaped from there. Amman's intention was self-evident.
Veronica made a soft 'hmm' sound, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"You're courting death!" Brando could no longer hold back and dragged Halran Gaia straight towards Amman.
But at this time, Amman turned his head and smiled slyly at him. The meaning on his face was obvious. He was waiting for this attack. A white halo appeared on the High Priest of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. The halo flashed from head to toe, and the High Priest disappeared into thin air. The next moment, he appeared behind Brando, and at the same time, a red light shot out from his hand.
This was not the High Priest's spell!
Brando was really stunned this time, but his hundred years of experience as a warrior came into play at this moment. He almost instinctively ducked his head to avoid Amman's attack. The red light flew past Brando's hair and landed in the bushes. The red light flashed, and a flame immediately jumped out of the bushes.
Brando took advantage of the momentum to roll forward. He was surprised that the High Priest usually did not know any spells other than Holy Spells, but the move just now was obviously not any Holy Spell that Brando was familiar with. It was more like an Elemental Spell, but Amman's Elemental Spell was Iron Wall. He knew this very well. Brando pounced forward, and the High Priest also pointed forward with a sneer.
"Holy Word: Bind!"
Brando's heart went cold when he heard this incantation. He could not dodge in his current state, and as a Lower Gold, it was difficult for him to resist an Elemental Spell. The only thing he could do now was to pray to Martha and hope that she had not completely forgotten about him. However, ever since he entered the Loop of Trade Winds, he had provoked one powerful enemy after another. It did not seem like Martha was protecting him.
But at the mention of protection, Brando suddenly had an idea.
The golden light in Amman's hand pierced forward. It was originally aimed at the fallen Brando, but in the next moment, a door of light suddenly opened between the young lord and Amman. A majestic white deer strode out, and the High Priest's spell hit the white deer's chest. Logically speaking, the white deer did not have a physical body, and physical attacks would have gone through it. Unfortunately, Amman had not only cast a spell, but also a Holy Spell.
The white deer statue happened to be a Holy Item of the Holy Attribute, and the summoned white deer was no exception. The Holy Word: Bind immediately dissipated when it hit the white deer. It did not even have the most basic binding effect.
"Holy White Deer!" Amman never dreamed that Brando would play this trick on him. But when he was stunned, misfortune immediately fell upon him.
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew through the forest.
The sudden gust of wind made the three of them subconsciously turn their heads back.
"My lord, be careful!" Scarlett shouted anxiously from the forest. The red-haired girl had been hiding far away from the battlefield so that she could meet up with Brando after he escaped. But she did not expect that Brando would be left behind. She wanted to go back to help, but she was worried that she would be a burden to Brando. But at that moment, she, who was the furthest away, was the first to see the situation on the battlefield.
She saw a huge white head suddenly appear above the vast fog. It was one of the heads of the Saint Hydra.
She was the second to notice the changes in the surroundings. She was guarding Brando's escape route and was about to make a move, but a sudden warning in her heart saved her life. She subconsciously withdrew her sword, and with a swing of the Azure Firmament, dozens of green air currents immediately formed a barrier around her. Her action saved her life because the Saint Hydra had already raised its head high and was about to bite down.
One of the fangs made of fog crashed into the barrier around her and shattered. The other fangs almost grazed Brando's nose as he fell to the ground. Although the young lord was unharmed, he was still scared out of his wits.
Among the three, Amman was the most unlucky. One of the fangs bit into his back and hit his robe. If not for the last layer of protection provided by his robe, Amman would have met the Flame King Gretel immediately. But even so, it was still not easy for him. He was sent flying far away, and his whole body rolled a few times in the air before falling heavily to the ground. When he landed, a gray gem fell out of his collar and rolled a few times before landing in the bushes nearby.
Only Brando and Veronica, who were the closest to him, saw this scene. Even Amman, who was in a daze from the fall, did not notice it, let alone the Knights of the Holy Cathedral who were further away.
"Little guy!" Orthlyss suddenly called out, "That gem looks familiar!"
Brando had just recovered from the shock, but when he heard this, his heart skipped a beat. As a Heroic Spirit from the War of the Holy Saints, Orthlyss's knowledge was self-evident. If she only had a vague impression of something, then it was obvious which era it came from. Where did Amman get this thing from? But he did not have time to be surprised. The Saint Hydra had already begun its attack on them.
When the behemoth's attack failed, three more heads immediately appeared above the fog.
Six pairs of crimson eyes immediately locked onto everyone present.
Then, they let out an earth-shattering roar and began to attack the tiny ants in the forest.
But when the three heads attacked, Brando was pleasantly surprised to find that they were all targeting Amman and Veronica. Not a single attack was directed at him. He carefully laid on the ground, not daring to even breathe too loudly. Although the Misty Nightmare was not a real Divine Beast, its strength was not to be underestimated. When the Saint Hydra attacked, Amman and Veronica immediately fell into a bitter struggle. Even the reserve Knight of the Holy Cathedral who wanted to save their Priestesses lost two in the blink of an eye.
Brando did not know why this happened, but how could he let go of such a good opportunity? He immediately rolled a few steps away from the bush and got up to escape the battlefield.
"Stop right there!" Although Veronica was resisting the attacks of the Saint Hydra, her attention was focused on Brando. When she saw that Brando was about to escape, she was furious. The female Sword Saint swung her sword forward, and a beam of light shot towards Brando. Unfortunately, she knew that her attack would not hit the young man. She could only watch as Brando ran further and further away.
She wanted to give chase, but just as she raised her foot, the two Saint Hydra heads blocked her path.
"Bastard!"
Veronica gritted her teeth and cursed for the first time.
