Chapter 107: Raven Prophecy X
The essence of magic is to present the world in the way the caster wants to be by extracting the flowing aether, but as long as the aether produces ripples, it must be felt by every node on the surface of the lake, and the seeker Angina has shaped the foundation of the sea of magic with the 'surface of the water' - although the 'surface' is not the whole of the aether, it has at least become the consensus of scholars and warlocks of the Three Towers of Silver, Star and Moon, and Sun.
The Counterspell seeks to detect and counterattack, detecting the slightest changes in the direction of the aether through the ripples of the 'water' and interfering with the spell before it takes shape. The Warlocks of the Stars and the Moon were the first to discover a way to monitor the flow of magic, and they forged the wizard's 'sense of smell' by feeling the multi-colored magic that dotted the corners of the world, and over time this method became the norm for the confrontation between spellcasters.
But at this moment, the Storm Clergy were presented to a realm of absolute silence, the symbol of Adan Rion, the Storm Raven's divine power gave them a unique way of looking at magic, but all they could see through the Eye of the Storm was a blank space, like gazing into the abyss. It was like a black hole around the young man, where the multi-colored magic rippled like a pool of stagnant water.
It's just that every time he finishes casting the spell, the sea of magic will awaken like a dormant dragon, but by that time it was too late, and the magic that had already formed a chain reaction was like an unbreakable chain, and it was revealed through Luo Yu's hand. An inability to fight back means a one-sided war, and the priests of the Ravental Temple seem to be playing a game that is doomed to victory, and they can only launch a brutal confrontation - but the result of the confrontation is that the opponent can free up their hands to fight back against the spells that are a real threat to him, and they have nothing to do with the same spells of their opponents.
Luo Yu doesn't even allow his opponent to have protection, he often chooses to use the most efficient way, interrupting the opponent's protection spell and then casting an attack. Attacks don't require any high-level spells, and sometimes an ice pick is enough to pierce the opponent's weak body.
So there was a very spectacular scene, the young elemental envoy stood in place with the staff in hand, facing the siege of twenty or thirty people, and still did not fall behind. And every time he struck, he had to take the life of a man, and the priests had a lot of spells, but the cast time was interrupted if it was a little longer, and it was too short to penetrate the shield of the young elemental.
"I'm leaning on me!"
When the Electors among the adventurers saw this scene, there was only one thought left in their hearts, and that was to scream and; Their minds were even a little short-circuited for a while, wondering if the Storm Priests were acting with a broken brain, or if this was another big guild that was making a momentum for their newcomers?
But if it's a hype, it's a little too real. They didn't even think to use the information crystal to record the previous scene when they saw May, because there was really nothing to record, those few Ravental Knights were not Miss Knight's opponents at all, but at this moment, everyone picked up the crystal together, and their real thoughts at the moment were - are those storm priests all good people in the new era who only take beatings and don't fight back?
But the priests, of course, did not really have the spirit of self-sacrifice, they only had words of suffering, and a few of the priests even secretly hid behind the knights, trying to hide their poor spells. But suddenly they saw a clockwork goblin fly up from the young man's hand, and at that moment the priests raised their heads, and their eyes flashed with an inexplicable look of grief and indignation, and they had only one thing to say in their hearts:
"Can't afford to play?"
The lady stood beside her husband and looked at the young man at the door, silent and silent, except for a faint and radiant brilliance flashed in her eyes. And in that look of appreciation, there is a touch of tenderness in the veins.
It seems that the young man who is still at peace in the face of all enemies is not only a reflection of his own blood, but a kind of sustenance, a carrier of his ideals and elegance in his youth, and an eternal witness after that time. His silence was not a rebellion, but a silent acknowledgment by his son to his mother, who was the one who followed their footsteps.
That's the one who really understands them, and that's her son—
She pursed her lips, with tears in her eyes, blinked, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and turned back again. But all he saw was his husband's gentle gaze, and the man said, "Xiao Yu, he ...... Grow up............"
"But it's not enough."
Luo Yu let out a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yu, you can actually be more efficient, there are a few spells that are not necessary," the mother's serious voice came from behind her, "Ah and Von spells were born to save mana, and the caster should always be aware of his mana, but this is not just a stereotypical dogma-"
Luo Yu was slightly stunned and couldn't help but turn around.
There, his mother still looked at him with a straight face, "Saving mana is not about saving mana, you should understand that, but about winning." But sometimes taking down an enemy faster is also a different way to get things done. ”
Luo Yu froze for a moment, and a beam of lightning flew in, hitting his shield, and the sparks shattered. His eyes flickered slightly, what Karatu had passed on to him and Kita was a different kind of knowledge - vast and vast as the sea.
But now it was his mother, a former elemental, a somewhat remarkable—but not yet genius—caster's nuanced experience. It is as if the time recorded on the quicksand is written down after a person's years have passed, and then through the mouth of the person who has experienced all this, he will listen to him.
He was silent for a moment before changing his strategy, raising his hand, and a beam of ice picks shot in the direction of the lightning. Immediately, there was a scream from the crowd.
"Why is he casting faster?!"
There was a silent fear in the crowd, and trading magic for time was not an uncommon tactic, but applying it to the rules that Carattu had taught them to cast spells had the effect that one plus one was greater than two. It was normal for the panicked clergy to fail to think of this for a moment.
Moreover, what they were even more frightened about had been something else, and the priests of the Ravental Temple still didn't understand why they were in such a situation—why they were so blank. The multi-colored magic was as still as as stagnant as water, and what they saw seemed to be a monster—what kind of way did the young man hide his magic?
But in fact, the answer is also very simple -
Without him, it's just a crystal.
Colorless magic flowed under the vast sea of ether, moving silently in the gap that no one was aware of, like the first cry of a new force in a long history. And it is just going back in time, bringing the gift that was born more than 700 years ago back into the world from the dust.
And that should be the original way this world is, without attribute magic, it is still magic.
Now everything is back to its roots.
After experiencing Alyssa and Luo Yu successively, the mercenary queue was in disarray, and the crossbowmen were too busy to take care of themselves, and the commander of the Ravental Sanctuary tried to save his own spellcaster who was on the verge of collapse, and finally brought back a team of knights from the front line.
But before they could get closer, they were caught off guard by arrows flying from the buildings on the other side of the street, and several of them fell. Miss Nightingale appeared from behind the window there, and gestured to this side:
"The battle plan has changed."
Luo Yu raised his head and looked in that direction.
He saw Parker laboriously climbing up to the second floor, where he set up a heavy crossbow on the terrace—
"What's going on?" He asked Alyssa with a mouth shape.
"Focus, Xiao Yu," the mother's serious voice came from behind her again, "cut off the battlefield—"
Miss Nightingale was about to speak, but a ray of light had already obscured Luo Yu's vision, and under the cover of the knight, the priests of the Ravental Sanclaw seized the opportunity to fight back for the first time.
Luo Yu looked over, but rarely, he didn't obey his mother's instructions, but gently lowered the staff in his hand. The flickering light in the hands of the priests near and far seemed to have woven a great net, as if in the next moment, he would be engulfed by the surging spells.
But wizards are called agents of magic, and they are often the first to feel the movement on the 'water'. Luo Yu's eyes were quiet, and on this huge battlefield, he had already heard the voice that was independent of every spell. ’
Low and spectacular, it reverberates beneath the surface of the magical sea, and its steps are like a miracle.
It wasn't a power that wizards could reach, it had to come from an older legend.
Only a little slower than Luo Yu, Luo Yu's mother suddenly stopped. The former elemental lady had a look of surprise in her eyes as she looked up at the building across the street, "It's ......" The Storm Clergy finally reacted, only their spells had already flown out of their hands.
But long wings stretched out from the shadows, and at that moment the snaking lightning and flames struck a wall of feathers like iron, and they fell apart and turned to ashes.
Shadows were rapidly stretching along the sides of the street, rising from the churning smoke in the shape of wings. Like a pair of outstretched wings, rising from the ground, coming from under the abyss, the pitch-black wings obscured everyone's vision, hiding Luo Yu behind it.
Sylvid held her gun and slipped the Ravental Templar's commander into the scope, she squinted for a moment, but put the gun down again. "Why don't you shoot?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked her a little curiously. Sylvide looked back at the confused little girl and smiled slightly.
"It's not time yet."
"Not yet?"
Ai Xiaoxiao showed a surprised look, and was about to ask when was the time? But it was at this time that a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the air, as if thousands of voices had gathered together and pierced a person's ear drum. Ling Ai let out a small 'ouch' and covered his ears.
Sylvid turned her head and looked in that direction, too.
Beneath the inn, Shesta stepped out from behind, carrying an unconscious Ravental Knight, into the hall, and threw him to the ground with a thud. The sudden scene startled everyone in the inn, and they looked at the exaggerated gauntlet in the maid's hand, and for a moment they were still thinking:
Who is this?
And Maye had already put down the communication crystal in her hand, turned around, and said to the maid in a glutinous voice: "Shesta, you came just in time. I just received-"
But Shesta replied, "I already know." ”
"Shall we go out then, Shesta?"
Shesta looked at her and nodded.
Mei Yi didn't talk nonsense, and immediately put the holy sword back into its sheath, took off the halberd from behind him, and walked forward. It was the weapon she had in her hand, but it couldn't be used in the halls of the inn - the Ravental Knights had long since retreated, and there was no one to stop them.
The adventurer looked at the two of them, and they looked at each other again, they had been reluctant to cause trouble, but now their mentality had changed. The local activities of the Crowtalon Temple have not been very popular, but they have only lacked a leader and an opportunity to rebel. Falling into the well is actually something that many people are willing to do.
The two sides have no interests to do so, but they have some personal grievances.
The street was eerily silent, mixed but silent, and everyone was looking in one direction so much that they didn't notice anyone walking out of the inn. They were looking at the shape that had crept out of the smoke of the shadows, the massive wings that almost obscured half the street.
And behind the smoke, there was a little red light.
Parker leaned on the terrace and watched the scene with his mouth wide open. He pressed the bandage on his face, and then turned back in a daze and asked Miss Naturalist, "Kita, what the hell did you summon for them?" ”
"I've heard that they are in awe of ravens, and that's the image of the storm......"
“…… Its wings swept through the void, bringing calamity, its howling bringing the only guidance in the night, its crimson gaze, and the blood and moon hanging high. Everything and everything in Terraeuch is a reflection of death and shadow, and when it comes, seven days will come......"
“…… It was the lightless abyssal sea, and the time traveled above the abyssal sea. It is about to be fulfilled, and at the ends of the storm, which has been fulfilled, black ships are moored...... When the year of calamity comes, and from the midst of it come the children of the seven shadows, and the light of the evil star that shines in the clouds shall shine on the land......"
Kita pressed her little pale hand to the title page of the book, and the ancient magic book seemed to be dyed black like ink.
Parker asked her aloud, "What's that?" ”
Kita thought for a moment before replying, "...... It's a raven prophecy, and it comes from a very old legend. ”
The Crests worship crows, but they have long since perished in history. Attaria saw the raven as a bad omen, and there wasn't much literature about it, but thankfully, she remembered some.
But Parker looked at the rising shadow, and his face was a little ugly: "...... Then can you stop summoning such a horrible thing next time......"
"It's just a shadow, Parker."
Kita shook her head and read the last paragraph of the prophecy softly:
“…… It has four wings, three claws, and a serpent's tail, and it is the king of ravens, Terraeuche. ”
Four wings sprouted from the rolling shadows, two pitch black, two blood-red, its thick claws more like those of a hound, with cracked sores pressed into the ground, and a bird's claw sticking out of the pitch-black feathers on its chest, hanging on its chest, curled up.
Its tail curled back from behind its claws, one by one, like the bones of a snake, slowly dragging on the ground. The crow-like monster held its head high, and behind the smoke was seven eyes, each of which shimmered with blood-red light.
The Storm Clergy were the first to react, staring at the figure in amazement, muttering to themselves as they stepped back:
"Terraoch, Terraoch ......"
"That was the raven's prophecy...... The end of the raven has arrived......"
The knights also wavered a little, and the mercenaries, who had never seen this scene, had already dispersed in a hurry, screaming and retreating.
The commander of the Ravenclaw Sanctuary made a strange move when he saw this, and he threw his head up, as if he were looking at a god, and fell to his knees tremblingly; Neither fleeing nor seeking to dodge, but crouching his whole body on the ground, as if to bow down to a supreme being.
It's just that not many people in the crowd noticed this scene.
Alyssa was only a little surprised to stand at the window and look at the scene in front of her, it was just a real illusion created by Kita, trying to distract the other party, but she didn't expect the effect to be much better than expected. But just in time, she looked up and looked at the sky.
There are also people who are looking at the sky.
……
Fang Yu looked at the group of people who appeared in front of him.
The man at the head, dressed in pitch-black leather armor and covered in weather, didn't look like a person living in this town. He had seen the refugees in the forest, almost the same as each other. But these people are much stronger than the refugees, and they don't look like they are yellow-skinned, but almost strong.
"Who are you?"
"I'm guessing you've guessed who we are, Mr. Ed," the man looked at him and smiled, "We are the redeemed. Behind the other party, there was a young man with a somewhat pale face, who seemed to be a little nervous and looked a little nervous, looking at him, with a hint of uneasiness in his dark eyes.
Fang Yu looked at that person and couldn't help but be stunned, the other party was a summoner, but it didn't look like a caller should be.
Fang Yu didn't expect to hear about the origin of these people from Sha Ye only yesterday, and met these people today. But it's a little strange that everyone recognizes their identity. He glanced at the young Elector almost intuitively, instinctively feeling connected to the other party.
The young man bowed his head a little timidly.
"I don't care who you are," replied Fang Yu, "and it's best not to stand in my way now." ”
"We know what you're going to do, and your companion is in trouble," the man replied, "and we have a common enemy, so why not cooperate?" Even if you fight off the people of the Temple, how will they give up, they are so numerous in this place, have you ever thought about what to do next? ”
"That's none of your business."
"I guess you must have thought you could get out of this place," the man continued, "but what about the sand nights, and the refugees in the forest?" ”
Fang Yu was stunned and looked at the other party.
"What do you want to do?" He asked.
"Let's help your companions out of trouble first, Mr. Ed, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Fang Yu glanced at the other party, nodded, and walked forward between the man and his men. The man turned away, thinking that he had mastered the situation, but the next moment, his face changed.
Fang Plover walked through the clearing they were walking towards, and at this moment a dark and heavy structure was quietly emerging, Fang Yu walked to the side of these structures one by one, and then put down the communication crystal in his hand. He looked up at the gloomy sky, as if he was silently counting something.
A grinning voice came from the communication crystal: "You don't come here again, the battle is going to be over, Captain." ”
Fang Yu extinguished the crystal.
"Three ......"
"Two ......"
"One."
With a soft buzz, a tiny structure glowing with a dark red light flew up from the lancer. They formed a dense array and floated into the air, flying in one direction in a way that covered the sky and the sun amid the shocked gaze of the man and everyone around him.
It was the result of many days with Miss Tata, and it was also the first appearance of Silver Bee after its transformation.
Of course, they have a brand new name:
Malevolent Star –
