Act Eighty-Eight: Shadow of Death II
The Glitter Tree is a precious tree species in the south of St. Osor, and its species is rich in the magic of the light element, and after being concocted by special means, it will burst out with a blinding light like the sun after a slight shock, making people temporarily blind.
The young man named Effie behind Delphien watched as the elf threw the round ball at him, and quickly closed his eyes and screamed to the others present, "Close your eyes! The glittering tree struck a graceful arc and landed at the feet of the prime minister's daughter, rolling forward, and before the others could react, their eyes were still on the round thing, and they saw it hit one side of the wall and stopped, and a crack was cracked in it, and a pure white bright light shot out of it.
It was at this moment that a figure flashed in the aisle, and a woman's slender hand reached out out of thin air to the seed of the Shining Tree, grasping it in the palm of her hand, as if there was an invisible magic on this hand that could bind the surging light together. The beams of light that burst out seemed to have hit an invisible barrier, and they were refracted back, and the dazzling light only flickered slightly, and then became gentle, and all the light seemed to converge into a warm ball of light, which was firmly controlled by this hand in a small range.
Everyone watched in amazement.
Efe, the only one who closed his eyes, had not heard any sound for a long time, and he couldn't help but open half of his eyes in confusion, and saw this strange sceneβa woman with silver hair and a shawl, wearing a white robe, holding a ball of light, standing in the aisle. The ball of light floated in the air, and the light on it reflected the indifferent look on the woman's face, she was very tall, even more than many human males, and her eyes seemed to be made of sterling silver, shining brightly. The glow of the orb of light was dissipating in the palm of her hand, and the lady glared back at the elf before returning to darkness.
The elf was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she was stared at by this glance, and she was full of grievances, and as a result, she turned into a tearful mouth.
"If you don't want to die. Just get out of here. The white-robed woman looked around coldly and spoke, her voice a little hoarse and low.
"Who are you?" Delphien asked with some caution, "What do you mean, please?" β
The hand of the woman who suddenly appeared shocked everyone present, and it was enough to restrain the light that bloomed in an instant between the palms of the hands, what a powerful light element control it required, if it was an illusion before, then at this moment the ball of light was turning into a little light between her palms and dissipating into darkness, this ability alone was enough to make everyone present have no heart to resist.
The woman in the white robe glanced at the ceiling. He shook his head a little anxiously, and his voice seemed to be suppressed: "Stupid, go quickly, I don't have time to explain to you!" β
Delphine wanted to say something, but suddenly felt like a needle in her heart, which made her involuntarily take a step back, she raised her head, and looked at the woman in front of her with some surprise and inexplicability.
At that moment, a sense of powerless fear rose in the hearts of everyone present.
The two guards of the prime minister's daughter sat down on the ground with a thud. Shouted: "Ma'am, are you going to kill us!" β
But at this time, the only unaffected Senni suddenly flew up. Picking up the cloak on the back of the elf's neck, he dragged it back desperately, screaming, "Elf, run, she's a dragon!" β
Everyone saw that the woman's eyes gradually turned into a flowing color like mercury, and her forehead. Thin silver scales are gradually emerging.
'Knock-'
The wooden house seemed to be struck by a violent air current, and suddenly the whole thing shook for a moment.
Beyond Rhoweis's compass, the crowd of the legations hiding on both sides of the street saw even more clearly, a behemoth descending from mid-air, slamming its wings like shadows in the sky. With each vibration of the wings, the air flow swept over the town like a storm, the temperature rose steadily, and the turbulence of the air carried the scattered flames, and as soon as it landed on the roof, it rose into flames.
Everyone's heart seemed to rise from a long roar, this scream came from the distant darkness, pierced into the depths of the heart, everyone's heart contracted because of too much tension, blood poured from all over the body, and the vision gradually turned into darkness from the surrounding to the center. They opened their mouths wide like fish out of water, and the weaker ones fainted directly.
Kiraya was also just pressing her chest, and a flush of color welled up on her pale little face, and she stared at the scene closely, as if she was afraid of missing a detail.
It was a dragon descending from the clouds, flapping its wings and hovering over Greystone, its dark eyes like a pair of dull graphite balls, with a kind of indifference to the world, staring coldly at the city, but giving the illusion that these terrifying eyes were looking down on them. The behemoth was almost half the size of a town, and the flames that swirled under its wings were like clouds of fire, with dots of golden light in the turbulence, and when the small pieces of light fell, the entire area was plunged into a sea of fire.
The streets were burning, creaking and groaning.
"Metissa, are we going to die?"
"Metisa, Metisa, is it coming to eat us?"
"MΓ©tisa, will Brando come to our rescue?"
"Will Brando be eaten too?"
"Forget it, Roman doesn't want Brando to save it! Brando: Run! Run far! β
Miss Merchant's frightening six gods are gone, Medissa also bites her lower lip and stares at the scene closely, holding the spear in her hand, beside her, Nasha has fainted in fright, Enid is holding herself in tears, and Dilferi is hiding tightly in the arms of her cow knight, Eco is a little trembling and draws her long sword, Marjorie is close to the Duke's daughter, among all of them, only the nun princess Magdal is not affected in the slightest, and even she feels a little strange.
The little princess of the silver elf was like a taut bowstring, ready to fight to the death at any time, but it was at this time that she sighed softly.
Another momentum was rising from Roweis's compass, weak at first, like a candle in the wind. But growing up rapidly, it was already able to rival the power descending from the sky in an instant, and from the bottom up, it actually pushed back the momentum of the black dragon that occupied the sky.
"I didn't expect you, Mithriel, to be hiding here." In mid-air. A voice like rolling thunder rumbled, with contempt and sarcasm, and a hint of cat-and-mouse banter.
"Obsdeen!" An angry voice echoed through Greystone, sourced from the small cabin of Rowes' compass that had drifted away in the wind.
The wooden house seemed to be under some unimaginable weight, it was creaking, its wooden walls, floor, doors and windows were trembling, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment, and the momentum of the white-robed woman was uncontrollably exploding. She glanced at the others with some regret, trying to suppress the power in her body that had become violent due to the induction of her kindred, and reminded with difficulty: "Run for your life......!" β
The last note of the sentence became a distant howl.
She let out a long roar, silver wings grew behind her, limbs turned into claws, covered with fine, solid scales, and white robes broke inch by inch, revealing the dragon's body. A tail also grows between her legs, and when she turns her head again. Completely possessed the form of a dragon. As everyone watched in horror, the silver dragon was rapidly growing in size, breaking through the aisles, propping open the roof of the wooden house, stepping through the floor, and everyone in the aisles sliding down with the collapsed floor. Delphien screamed and fell down the stairs, and the elf threw himself forward in a daze, his forehead hitting the door frame, "Ouch! She danced to grab something, only to grab Shannie by the tail and drag her screaming down. Efe, Solinz, and Delphien's two guards clutched the nearest obstacle they could reach, but to no avail.
With a sharp groan, Roweis's compass was torn apart, and the masonry and the planks, the ash and the beams and pillars broke and collapsed, turning into fragments of marl and falling one after another, and in an instant, it was a ruin.
Above the ruins, a large, graceful creature spread its wings, and the dust and tiles on its wings fell to the ground like rain; Roman and Chiara looked up in amazement as the wings that covered the sky rose higher and higher, and when the silver curtain was fully opened, almost obscuring several nearby blocks, both of them opened their mouths slightly, and the silver dragon had become huge, standing on several streets The silver body glittered in the moonlight, and the scales seemed to be shrouded in a sacred and inviolable halo, she raised her head and looked at the black dragon in the sky with mercury-like eyes.
"Obsdeen, let me ask you again, why did you break your oath and leave Jogandigan?" The woman's cold voice echoed over the entire town of Greystone, even across the valley, spreading in all directions, far into the hills to the left.
A mile or two away, in the heart of the Old Town, Brando witnessed this qiΔ more clearly, seeing the shadows in the sky disappear and return, descending over Greystone, and a rival momentum rose from within the city, but in an instant, a silver dragon appeared out of thin air a few blocks away to confront it. Juta and Tia could not speak a word, and Sir Cooper was walking out of the temple with the wounded Earl of Orcons, and when he saw this scene, he fell to his knees with his legs weak.
"Martha, what's going on!" Cooper screamed.
Brando didn't know what was going on, or what was going on in Greystone.
"Metisa, get back to me!" He shouted nervously in a psychic connection.
β¦β¦
"Your lordship......" Medisa replied with some difficulty.
"Where are you?" Brando asked nervously.
"I'm ...... You've seen it, I'm here......" Medisa glanced at the scenery outside that mortals might not see once in a lifetime.
Brando was silent for a moment: "Are you all right?" β
"Fortunately, the target of those two dragons should be each other, and we hid it well and didn't attract their attention for the time being."
"Is it Bran?" Brando could sense Roman's voice in Metisa's senses, and the little silver elf princess waved her hand at her, motioning for her to be silent.
Brando's words relieved Brando, who thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any way to get into the secret passage now?" β
"I'm afraid it's difficult," replied Metisa, "that silver dragon is on Rhovis's compass, and now that it's in ruins, it's hard to say whether or not you can find the entrance to the secret passage." I can only confirm it if they fight. β
"Is it dangerous?"
"It's okay, don't worry, my lord, I'll protect myself."
"If there's any danger, find a way to retreat to the portal."
"I know."
"Wait for me. I'll be there right away. Brando picked up the shivering Cooper, "Come with me and take me to Rover's compass." β
Sir Cooper was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he struggled desperately: "Lord Earl, you are crazy! β
"I'm not mad, Nimesis, take Count Orcons, Juta, and Flo, and watch the mouse. I have something to ask of it, Mr. Walton, and you can tell the nobles in the crypt that the plan has changed now, and we have to carry out Plan B, and go and stay as you please, but I will not send them out of the city. β
He paused: "This sentence also applies to you. β
Walton looked at Cooper, who was being carried by Brando, and shook his head helplessly.
"Do we have a Plan B?" Tiger Sparrow asked, puzzled.
"Now there is." Brando replied.
β¦β¦
"Lordβ" Medisa reluctantly realized that Brando had unilaterally severed the psychic connection. She sighed, slightly moved in her heart.
"Obsdean. It's been a long time since I've heard of it, and how I regret losing it," the voice in the sky was still thundering, "Misriel, but it's not now, how unbeatable you were in Samirian. What now? Panic, like a lost dog, you shouldn't appear, only death awaits you. β
"Obsdeen, damn it's you. Have you forgotten that sacred agreement, and dared to participate in the mortal war, the three of you have gone crazy together, wrong again and again, and only the most severe punishment awaits you. The silver dragon replied coldly, holding its head high, proudly.
"Punishment?" Malthus sneered: "It is sad and ridiculous that the people of the ancients will not come out of the world, thinking that they can avoid the calamity in this way. β
"By me!"
"By you?" There was a gratuitous sneer in Malthus's voice, "Are you healed, Mithreel?" β
With a roar of rage, her silver wings spread, the ground shook slightly, and she shot into the air like arrows, heading straight for Malthus, and the wind from the dragon's flapping wings created a terrible storm in half of the town, blowing everyone in the vicinity to the ground, rows of houses groaning like death in the sudden wind, slightly older buildings were almost uprooted, and loose walls and roofs disintegrated, turning into countless fragments and scattering like butterflies in a storm.
The two dragons collided in mid-air, and at that moment the entire sky seemed to flicker with the glow of the lines of the law - half of the night was densely covered with golden flame patterns, and half of the night was flashed with layers of overlapping pale silver networks, and the two completely different scenes completely enveloped the entire Greystone Town, and spread in all directions, with the two dragons fighting as the center, as if it was delayed for a moment, a shockwave swept across the entire city.
At that moment, it was as if Graystone had suffered a terrible earthquake, and the buildings on both sides of the street collapsed like dominoes, and Roman 'bang' was lifted by the sudden shock wave, and hit Chiara behind him hard, and the two of them rolled out together, and then fell unconscious. The spiritual law on Metisa's body automatically took effect at the same moment as the impact, interweaving a gray net-like light, but it was meaningless, she also snorted and was pushed into a collapsed house, the nobles were even more in chaos, because there was no elemental power, they received much less counterattack, but they still staggered, and many people were even blown out of the window and fell heavily on the street outside.
And at the center of the impact, Roweis's compass was even more unlucky, and the bread shop, which was already in ruins, was directly blown into the sky by the air current, and several people buried below were dug out by the cyclone and thrown around. Shannie almost screamed and dragged the elf's cloak out of the hurricane, and Delphien crashed directly into the wall of a building opposite, fortunately it was a wooden wall, and the prime minister's daughter clicked into it directly, so that it luckily did not turn into a large meatloaf, but her two guards were not so lucky, one was directly thrown dozens of meters and fell heavily to the ground, and the other head was cut in half by a tile, and became a corpse before it fell.
Solinz was able to avoid being sent to the sky by grabbing on to a pillar at a critical moment, while the young man named Effie was a little less lucky and fell straight into the second floor of a nearby room.
Only one of them had the luckiest outfit, the dwarf Pori. The anvil roared, "Who woke me up in the middle of the night!" Then it fell into a tributary of the nearby Milky Way with a pop, and gurgled a few bubbles.
The clouds above the canopy rolled and retreated, forming a huge void in an instant, and endless starlight poured down from between the voids.
The whole city was covered in snow.
β¦β¦
