The sky was filled with crisscrossing blazing white rays of light.
It was like a rain of light, hitting the platform, the blazing magic power transmission pipes, or passing by Brando, Veronica, and Mephistopheles, or hitting the magic shield that The Shire General was about to open, stirring up layers of violent vibrating ripples on it; Hipamira dodged to the edge of the platform with difficulty, but a beam of light still shattered the sacrificial staff in her hand in front of her astonished gaze. Others shot in the direction of Cruz's eldest son, turning the ice cave into a honeycomb. Large and small pieces of ice fell from the sky, smashing into Shido and Haruze, who were holding their heads and screaming.
The first layer of light had not yet faded, and the second layer of light was generated along the path of the previous layer of light. They were like lines drawn with milky white paint on a dark canvas, scattering in the center of the platform like countless snakes, scattering towards everyone present.
"Brendel, that's the Hunter siblings!" Veronica suddenly realized what was going on.
Brando was startled, and then his expression changed drastically. They had been entangled with Ko Hua and her minions before, and the battle had nothing to do with Peya and Yaruta. But this time, Ko Hua launched an indiscriminate attack, and the hunter siblings themselves were only a little stronger than ordinary people, not to mention that they were still unconscious. If they were hit, it would be a disaster. But the problem was that no one had thought of this problem before, and now each of them was a considerable distance away from the hunter siblings.
And the white lightning was already in front of them — —
Brando was full of regret and could only watch the tragedy unfold in front of him. He still remembered that he had promised Peya to protect her and her brother, and the words were still in his ears.
But the first beam of light hit a place very close to Peya, melting into a bright red dot on the platform, and the second beam adjusted its direction and stabbed straight at the hunter girl's chest. It was at this time that a holy light shield unexpected by everyone fell from the sky, enveloping the hunter siblings in it and blocking the attack for them. She was Hipamira, the only one present who could use divine spells! Brando reacted, but he had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked back and saw that the priestess girl had thrown away her shattered staff. She didn't even care about herself and first opened a shield for Peya and Yaruta who were lying on the platform.
"Protect yourself. Be careful!" Brando knew the price Hipamira would have to pay.
A beam of light pierced through her left arm, and Hipamira screamed in pain. Her body swayed slightly, and then a beam of light pierced through her lower abdomen. "Wuuu —" The young girl bit her lips and let out a low cry. Blood spurted out like a fountain, and she rolled on the platform covered in blood. "Hipamira!" Brando was furious, but another beam of light swept toward him. He had no choice but to turn around and hide under a row of magic power transmission pipes, letting dozens of light beams hit it and create sparks. "The County!" Brando went around to the bottom of the pipe, untied a bottle from his belt, and threw it to his wizard attendant not far away, "Pass it over!"
The County hurriedly turned the shield in another direction, but the light beams still hit it with a buzzing sound, rolling up layers of waves on the cyan light shield. He caught the bottle, weighed it, and immediately guessed that it should be holy water number thirteen.
Veronica was waving her sword like a mirror, deflecting the light one by one, but when she looked up, her cyan eyes had already reflected the third wave of crisscrossing white lines rising behind Ko Hua. At this time, the entire space was filled with incandescent lightning.
"Little one, Mephistopheles, we have to think of something. We can't let her attack as she pleases!" She also felt troubled.
"My Lord, I'm also having some trouble here." The County was also full of anxiety, but the light beams shooting at them were like torrential rain, making it impossible for him to move his feet.
Of course, this could not go on. Ko Hua had Milose as an endless source of energy, and they would be exhausted to death. Brando pondered for a moment, then raised his head and shouted to his teacher above him, "Teacher, can you think of a way to attack Ko Hua so that she can't concentrate on attacking us?" Among the five of them, only Mephistopheles had the strength to launch a counterattack.
Mephistopheles immediately rushed towards Ko Hua. For a moment, countless white light beams flew towards him, but every white line that came to the Ash Sword Saint's side was reflected by a gray reflective surface that appeared out of nowhere. The denser the white lines were, the more frequent the reflections were. The Ash Realm surrounded Mephistopheles, and for a moment, it was like a sparkling wave of light.
The Ash Sword Saint seemed to have forcibly torn a crack in the white lightning and explosions, which made Ko Hua jump in fright. "Damn it, damn it!" She screamed angrily, and hurriedly redirected most of her attacks towards Mephistopheles. In this way, the pressure on Brando and Veronica was greatly reduced.
But the price was that Mephistopheles had to temporarily retreat, and his power of Order was greatly depleted.
At this time, The County finally had the time to raise his shield and rush towards Hipamira. The white light beams were like tracers, hitting his shield. On the platform, there were even stray bullets that hit Hipamira, who was trying to get up again. The girl's shoulder exploded into a blob of blood, and with a cry, she lay completely in a pool of blood. The County rushed over to drag The County back, but no matter how hard he tried, he was always a hair's breadth away. Ko Hua seemed to have seen through their intentions, and mobilized a relatively high density of attacks to stop the County's next move.
The shield in The County's hand was flickering, and the magic power consumption was astonishing. Gradually, sweat appeared on his forehead. If this continued, he would have to retreat to the bottom of the pipe.
Of course, Brando of course saw the predicament, and could not help but be anxious. At this time, he could not care less, and at this time, he shouted, "The County, quickly raise your shield and face me!"
The County was slightly stunned.
"Quickly!" Brando was very anxious.
"My lord … You can't take the risk …" Hipamira's intermittent voice suddenly came from the soul, and she seemed to be enduring great pain as she whispered, "I … I haven't been following you for long, give up on me."
"What do you mean by long, do you think I'm a merchant?" Brando stared at The County, "Quickly, this is an order!"
The County smiled bitterly and did not face Brando with the shield. Instead, he extended the edge of the shield for a while, and now it could also cover the direction Brando was facing. "That's more like it." Brendel heaved a sigh of relief. Charles replied, "But don't just focus on saving the damsel in distress and get me into trouble, my lord."
"Nonsense, don't you want to save her?"
The County shrugged, "I'll cover you."
"My lord … Mr. The County …" Hipamira was lying in a pool of blood and murmured.
Brando naturally did not stop for a moment. He directly launched Flash Strike Sword Art and slashed at The County. "Buzz —" With a soft sound, The County's shield flashed more violently than ever before. He could not help but cry out in shock, "My lord, do you want to kill me!?"
"Shut up!" Brando of course knew that his troublesome attendant was joking with him, but he was not in the mood now. He withdrew his sword from The County's shield, and in a flash, he had already arrived beside Hipamira. The cleric girl was so miserable that he could hardly bear to look at her: there was not a spot on her body that was not stained with blood. Brando secretly hated Ko Hua's heavy-handed attack. At the same time, he hugged Hipamira's soft body. At this time, a white light swept towards him. He had to carry Hipamira and roll to the edge of the platform. He looked down from the edge and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a few pipes that could hide people.
Brando hurriedly jumped down from there, and then put Hipamira on top of the pipe. He carefully lifted her head, but he was immediately stunned because he saw Hipamira's blood-stained face. The girl's eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her dry lips were trembling slightly. She seemed to be very scared.
Only then did he understand how much courage it took for her to say those words. His heart softened, and he patted her back to reassure her. Then, he took out a bottle of No.13 Holy Water, and let her open her mouth, and then he fed her little by little.
After a while, Hipamira's eyelashes moved and she opened her eyes, but there was only guilt in her sea blue eyes, "I'm sorry, my lord, I …"
"Enough, you've done well enough." Brando replied. In any case, for a girl who was only at the beginning of Gold-tier and had not been on the battlefield, her performance could be said to be perfect. And the key was courage. Brando knew that Hipamira's courage came from her loyalty to him. He also did not know why this girl's loyalty to him seemed to be more devout than the others, it was like a believer's obedience to her god. He could only think that it might be a problem with the card and character settings, but even so, it was enough to move him.
"Have a good rest, and leave the rest to us."
Hipamira's face was full of unwillingness, and she bit her lip.
Although Brando said to leave the rest to us, in fact, he was not confident. Ko Hua's attack at this stage was a bit ridiculous. Even Mephisto could not block it, his strength was second only to the Sage. He gently put Hipamira down again, and then looked up. The space was intertwined with electric arcs and explosions. Ko Hua was at the center of the entire platform, easily manipulating countless white lines to attack everyone. Suddenly, there was a scream above his head. Brando heard Haruz's voice, and his heart tightened. He knew that there was no time to delay.
He must pose a threat to Ko Hua's body.
I can only take the risk. Brando patted the edge of Halran Gaia.
In the intertwining white light, Dark Ko Hua felt the energy in her body increasing exponentially. She could not help but squint her eyes. There was an illusion in her heart. As long as she waved her hand, everything in front of her could be turned into ashes. This feeling of being in control of everything was too good. Even in her heyday before the New Era, she had never experienced such a wonderful pleasure. So this was the feeling of being a god in the world of order. She licked her lips and began to like this feeling a little.
Although there were only some insects in front of her, but controlling lightning for her own use, and using this power of nature to destroy everything, it felt good.
She was still at ease, but the people in front of her were already struggling.
At this moment, the images appeared once again around her. Perkins had already turned into a sea of flames, and the next city was Ten Arm City. A virtual hourglass was currently counting down in the sky above the city. The next time the hourglass was filled with energy, it would be the end of the city. Destruction, to Dark Ko Hua, was a kind of pleasure. She could not help but laugh out loud.
Like the shrill laughter of a demon, it echoed in the space.
Mephisto and Veronica were both livid, but no one noticed that it was at this time below the platform that Brando had already disappeared.
Haruz leaned against the ice wall with a pale face, as if he was very cold and shivered. Miss Scholar was so anxious that she was about to cry. She had covered the little prince with all the spare clothes in her backpack, but the latter's body temperature was still dropping rapidly. There was a large pool of blood behind him, and blood was still gushing out of his chest.
"I … am I going to die?"
"No, absolutely not. By the way, Haruz, do you look like your sister?" Shido, under Lenarette's signal, kept diverting the little prince's attention so that he could stay awake.
Haruz shook his head weakly.
"Really?" Shido was a little skeptical, "I don't believe she is more beautiful than you."
Haruz wanted to cry, but he could not. He was a man, "Miss Shido, I'm a little … not happy at all when you say that."
"Who are you!?" At this time, the voices of Laurenna and her husband, who had been guarding outside the cave, came in. Of course, it was mainly Filas's shouting voice. Then there was a muffled groan and the sound of fighting. The eldest prince immediately frowned and looked in that direction. Soon, they saw Laurenna supporting the injured Filas back.
Shido looked up and her face changed immediately.
She saw a group of black-robed Knight pouring in from the outside.
"All for One!"
… …
Her vision was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
Scarlet suddenly remembered an experience of encountering a pack of wolves in the mountains, which seemed to be the scene in front of her. However, in the dark mountains, the bright moon was in the sky, and the howls of wolves rose and fell one after another. The wolves were like shadows in the forest, one after another, appearing all around. Wolves were cunning and cruel when they moved in groups, just like the Cruz nobles who were approaching in shadows. They seemed to be winking at each other, like a pack of wolves trying to outflank the jungle, growling and baring their white fangs. Scarlet shook her head in a daze, and in a trance, she realized that it was the gleaming longsword in the hands of the noble soldiers.
The Cruz people were surrounding her again.
Scarlet barely kept her eyelids half open. She saw the young man with a crossbow not far away seemed to be persuading her, but his voice was humming, far and near at the same time, and she could not hear him clearly; and the other party's expression seemed to be exaggerated without limit. He sometimes smiled, revealing rows of neat teeth, which made her shudder.
Just like that, a long while passed.
She saw a man coming towards her, close to her. She gritted her teeth and stepped back, only to find that she was powerless to resist. "My Lord …" Scarlet's heart was in distress. She suddenly felt afraid, afraid that she would never see her Lord again. She was so scared that she almost trembled. Her face was covered with a layer of gray, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. At this time, a cold blade was placed on her neck, and then she felt a sharp pain on her scalp. Someone grabbed her hair and pulled her head up. She had no choice but to look at the person. Her vision was very dim, as if she was in a daze. She could barely see that there was a long scar on the person's face, and he was looking at her with a somewhat playful gaze.
"A female monkey in the forest. Hey, what do you mean by that look?" In her daze, the other party laughed and said.
Scarlet seemed to be stung, and she struggled with all her might. The man shouted angrily, grabbed her head, and slammed her against the ice wall behind her.
The mountain maiden felt her vision go dark, and she coughed heavily.
Then she heard a series of scolding. The young man seemed to be loudly reprimanding his companions, but Scarlet did not feel any sense of security. She just wanted to curl up and provide herself with a sense of protection. But the man pulled her hair and turned her face, and then patted her face with his hand, as if he was saying something to her.
Something about Veronica, the Pahiru family, conspiracy, treason, Her Majesty the Empress, and so on. In between, he seemed to mention the Lord's name. Scarlet trembled, and tried hard to hear what the other party was saying, but the voice seemed to be getting weaker, as if it came from the horizon. She felt her eyelids getting heavier, and waves of sleepiness came over her.
After the man finished asking, he stopped and looked at her.
But she was a little confused.
Then there was a heavy slap to the face, and she felt that half of her face was numb and swollen. She could not open her eyes, and could only squint slightly. But she still gritted her teeth and stared at those people. At that moment, as if she was enlightened, Scarlet understood that the other party's target was not her. They wanted to deal with the Lord and Lady Veronica.
This was like a conviction that was injected into Scarlet's heart, and made her sober a little.
In her vision that had become abnormally narrow, she saw the young man called Babarn pull away the person who was interrogating her, and then the two of them had a fierce argument.
"No … I must inform … the Lord …"
This was the only thought in the mountain maiden's mind in a daze.
But at this time, a voice seemed to have drilled into the depths of her heart.
"Scarlet, I remember that is your name, right?"
