Chapter 14: The Bells Echoing in the Sky
"Something wasn't right, I had a premonition that something wasn't right. Could it be that the ember tide is much stronger than ever before? But shouldn't there be some time before the big tides start? β
Running wildly across the barren plains with Edward on his back, Arashi and Edward met a three-headed Ember Lord similar to the Evil Flint Giant, which made Arashi's face quite ugly.
According to the previous year, when searching for a few days and not necessarily finding an ember, Arashi is now sure of one thing, I don't know what the reason is, the ember's activity has entered the active period in advance!
And this kind of situation of encountering the three-headed ember lord in a short period of time, Arashi has also experienced it, and the ember activity in his memory is even more exaggerated than this time, this level of activity, the sweepers call it the "ember disaster".
Ember Calamity, according to the narrative of Arashi's sweeper predecessors, has happened seven or eight times in history, and every time the Ember Calamity breaks out, it means a tough battle!
Thinking back to the last ember disaster, as one of the original survivors, Arashi couldn't help but shudder, and her fluffy hair exploded.
Like a steady stream of embers like ocean waves, the sweepers were overwhelmed by this terrifying wave one by one, overwhelming the sky with no end in sight.
It was a kind of desperation.
The Sweepers were nearly wiped out in that war, and if it weren't for the Sweepers' special rebirth trait, the planet might have been reduced to a playground for embers after that war!
Scourge of Ember ...... If you count the number of times Arashi has recently encountered the same kind on patrol in this area, then Arashi, who has survived the last ember disaster, can be confident that the sweepers are not ready.
The number of sweepers is too small now to experience another great war like the last one!
Just when Lan was frowning, an obscure power fluctuation suddenly came from afar, and wave after wave of fluctuations made Lan instantly erect pointed ears, and his complexion changed rapidly.
Something happened!
The next moment, a thick but penetrating bell rang from afar.
"When ββ!" "When ββ!" "When ββ!"
"A summoning order? Something happened to the altar! Terran, hold on, I'm going to speed up! β
Lan didn't hesitate, at the same time that the bell came, his speed suddenly increased a notch, and several low-level embers on the road were instantly overtaken by Lan before they could roar.
Edward felt Arashi's mood change, but he still reminded Arashi seriously: "I'm not called Terran, my name is Edward." Arashi, you need to calm down now. β
As he spoke, Edward raised his right hand, only to see a misty white light appear on his hand, and then this white light was slapped into Arashi's body by Edward.
Divine Arts. Sober blessings.
With a divine technique, the speed of Lan, who was originally running wildly recklessly, immediately slowed down, and at this moment, Lan, who was dazed by the bell of the summoning order, suddenly recovered, his thoughts were clear, and his analysis of things doubled.
As if filling a gap, the warm light filled her body, and this feeling of comfort to the depths of her soul made Arashi drift a little......
Wait, floating?! The clear-headed Lan immediately looked down, he was stunned, and then he said to Edward on his back as fast as he could, "I know, love...... Edward, let go, I feel like I'm about to dissipate! β
It's not that I feel floating, but I almost feel like I'm going to float! With the input of Edward's holy power, Arashi's body melted quickly as if it had touched the snow of the water, and Arashi was scared crazy at this scene.
What's going on? Could it be that the former Terrans were the natural enemies of the Sweepers? Arashi, who had only survived the embers once, thought with some horror.
The Sweeper is the materialization of the soul, in the final analysis, their existence is a special kind of ghost, Edward is a priest, the power he uses is holy power, in the face of the divine holy power, the only way out of the existence of ghosts is to be purified.
I almost purified Arashi with a sober blessing just now! Edward, who figured out what had just happened, became a little embarrassed.
It's good that I didn't push too hard, otherwise it would have been a lot of fun. Edward wiped the cold sweat from his head and let out a long breath.
"Boom ββ!"
Just as Arashi and Edward stared at each other in embarrassment, a loud bang came from ahead.
In front of Edward and Arashi, a cloud of dust exploded.
With a rumbling footsteps, a giant ember resembling a rhinoceros that was a hundred times the size of a rhinoceros and lacked a rhinoceros came into view of Edward and Lan.
"Another Lord-level Ember?!" Seeing the stone rhinoceros burning with dark green flames, Arashi gasped.
"Attention, there's something on it!" Edward squinted, and three black shadows stuck to the ember lord's body like maggots on tarsal bones.
It's a sweeper.
"Well done, it's up to me to come down." At this moment, a clear voice came from the front, and the wind swept away the smoke and dust in front of him, and a sweeper who was one size bigger than Zhilan came into Edward's vision.
The sweeper who crawled out of the sand shook his body as if he had been ignited by a flame, and the sweeper, who was one size bigger than Lan, instantly turned into a black flame, and the flames burned faintly like a wolf.
The speed of the black flame was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, this wolf-shaped black flame appeared in front of the Ember Lord, and without pause, the black flame turned into a huge wolf head, biting fiercely at the white sharp horn of the Ember Lord's nose.
"Clickββ!"
Under Edward's astonished gaze, the Ember Lord's white sharp horns were bitten off!
The rhinoceros-like ember lord froze at the moment when the sharp horn was broken, the dark green flame quickly extinguished, and the ember lord turned into a yellow-brown clay puppet in a dozen seconds, and in the next moment, the clay puppet collapsed into a piece of loess......
The black fire wolf's head condensed, and finally turned back into the large sweeper.
Lan sacrificed a lord-level ember that could only be contained by the subordinate clansmen in his body, and he was defeated head-on?!
"A Ranger, only a Sweeper who understands the nature of his own power and can perfectly control his own power can be called a Ranger. The Rangers are the strongest of our Sweepers, and only they have the ability to stand alone against the Ember Lords. The man in front of him is called Ra, the leader of our region. β
Arashi saw Edward's surprised expression and immediately introduced Edward to the sweeper who showed his might.
"La, what's the summoning order?" Seeing that the Ember Lord had been dealt with, Lan hurriedly stepped forward and asked his leader.
"Arashi? It's just in time, and now there is a shortage of people on the other side of the altar, so come back with me. β
Ra, who was gasping for breath, heard Arashi's voice and immediately turned back in surprise, and then he saw Edward on Arashi's back, and Ra was stunned.
"People...... Person?! β
