Chapter Ninety-Six: A Call Under the Stars
Star Continent, deep in the dark forests of the Essian Empire, known as the grave of beginners...... Nina ran as hard as she could, until she ran into the towering woods, and could no longer support herself, so she fell on her knees and followed forward, her face resting on the cold, wet mud.
But it's safe for now!
The inability to hear the sound of the pursuers made Nina feel a little better psychologically, although it was only a matter of time before they caught up, but there was always a chance to escape.
Rapid breathing makes the air in the lungs seem to be evacuated. A wave of dizziness attacked Nina's nerves, and Nina supported herself, she didn't want to be captured like a chicken, and then toyed with, and then eaten as food by those fallen demons like countless miserable girls!
The sound of light footsteps in her ears with the wind blowing, and the barking of demons, Nina's heart was shocked, and her hand clenched the short silver-white wand, a gift from her father, the chief magister of the Essia Empire.
She wanted the guys to know that the daughter of the Chief Magister was definitely not a delicate bird!
Nina is confident that if she is one-on-one, she will be able to defeat every enemy in her pursuers. Even if it is the strongest demon in the chasing army, even if it has never fought against it, but Nina has such self-confidence, and the confidence of being a genius magician is still ...... Too careless.
Nina regretted a little, she shouldn't have been so big, she went too deep into this dark forest full of mist, and she shouldn't have tried her best to provoke those half-blood demons!
Perhaps, at the beginning of the journey, it was a mistake not to follow my father's advice to continue cultivating the foundation.
The smell of the demons in the wind grew stronger.
Nina gritted her teeth, got up, and continued to run forward, under the faint starlight, this forest, exuding indescribable calm.
But under the calm, there is a deep murderous intention.
"Whew!"
Behind Nina, a piercing sound of breaking the air came!
"Water magic! Shield~! Nina turned around, stretched out her staff, and uttered a spell in her mouth!
The whole process, no more than a second! A round blue water shield appeared on the tip of Nina's staff.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, the water shield cracked into countless droplets of water that fell on the fertile earth.
And a bone spur also dripped to the ground.
That's the weapons of those demons!
A flash of despair flashed in Nina's eyes, finally, did those demons still not let go of themselves?
The demon's body moved rapidly in the forest, more agile and faster than the ape! They also seemed to see Nina's plight, and let out a piercing scream in the night.
The screams of ridicule were so piercing to Nina's ears that she rekindled her fighting spirit.
"Even if I die in battle, I won't let you demons get your wish!" Nina raised the staff, and the huge magic power condensed on it, making the silver-white staff glow with a dazzling light!
As if sensing the horror of Nina's dying blow, the demons stopped, climbed the trunk of the tree, hid in the shade, and waited condescendingly for the time to weaken after Nina had burst out of her last magical power.
"Damn!" Nina's face was pale and scary, looking at those demons on the tree, she could only smile bitterly, father, you are really right, in the face of these cunning demons, I have no actual combat experience, even if it is really one-on-one, I may not be able to win.
"Light magic. Cut of Light! "Magic is impossible to eliminate, only to unleash it.
The short staff burst out with hundreds of blades of light, whistling into the distance, forming a half-moon-shaped covered area.
"Boom~!" The trees were cut one by one by the blades of light, and the demons, although they were also frightened by the power of the magic, were very few.
As the trees fell, Nina's vision widened, and she was surprised to find that a ruin was appearing in front of her eyes!
Maybe it was because of the destruction of the giant tree, so that the protective magic of this ruin disappeared due to the damage of the magic circle, which should have been full of the front of the forest, at this time! A huge palace made of huge boulders appeared.
Directly in front of the palace was a huge statue of a god, carved from the most beautiful whole piece of white marble, but the appearance of the god was not the appearance of any of the gods in Nina's memory.
It was a strange deity, dressed in robes and holding a scepter, with three pairs of outstretched wings behind it...... The demons screamed, as if terrified of the sudden appearance of the temple.
Nina, on the other hand, walked in, she had no choice, she didn't want to be defiled by those demons more than the unknown.
"The Demon King who destroys the world is suppressed here - the first and final angel."
Nina looked at the inscription carved on the stone platform at the foot of the statue. She didn't know that there was a god in this world, but she knew the legend of the Demon King.
"Could it be that the legend of the Demon King is true? And this place is really imprisoned by the ancient legend of the Great Demon King? ”
Nina observed everything curiously, and then she walked into the temple.
Perhaps due to the erosion of time, the interior of the temple smells of decay and decay.
In addition to the tall marble columns and the frescoes on the walls.
The content on the mural is no different from what Nina saw in the ancient books, the Great Demon King descended on the Star Continent, and with it came thousands of demon armies that did not belong to gods or abyss, and they swept across the entire continent and turned the homes of the hundred races into purgatory.
It wasn't until the end that the true god personally intervened, combined with the power of many heroes on the mainland, that the Great Demon King was completely defeated and brought peace to the continent again...... However, the legend of the demon king has been circulating in the mainland, although for ordinary people, this legend is just an ancient story of scaring children, but for nobles like Nina, the legend of the demon king often means another truth - the fall of the gods!
It's just that even the nobles still believe in these boring legends, and for thousands of years, no one has ever seen the goddess of life perform miracles, and of course, the abyss demon army used to scare children has never appeared.
After walking slowly and circumnavigating the temple, all that remained was the magic circle carved into the marble floor in the middle, attracting Nina's attention.
Nina observed the magic circle and whispered, "This is a summoning circle?" ”
In the Essia Empire, summoning magic has long been decayed, and few people are willing to study this kind of thankless magic, after all, the energy of magicians is also limited, even if they are geniuses, they have reached the limit of studying two or three systems, and there is really no need to study such chicken magic as summoning magic.
A summoner often needs to spend longer time and effort than ordinary magicians, and as a result, he can only summon one or two weakly weak magical beasts from another dimension...... If those kittens and puppies are also Warcraft.
"If it's just a summon...... It probably doesn't matter. Nina said to herself, another important factor in the decline of the summoner is the limitation of mental power, even if it is just a skeleton soldier, it will still share part of the master's spiritual power, and if the mental power is reduced, it will be fatal for the magician, which often means that the magician's cultivation will be more difficult than others!
However, the magic array of this temple seemed to be full of infinite temptation, tempting Nina to recite an ancient secret spell to her. As an ancient magic family, Nina's ancestors also had a great summoner, his summoning spell, although a person can only summon once in a lifetime, and will be linked to the fate of the summon, the surname is linked, but there is a certain possibility of surname, summoning a unique existence...... For example, that ancestor's summoned beast is the strongest dragon! Holy Dragon!
This is Nina's only chance, a chance to escape this dark forest, and beyond the temple, the demons are still there! Drooling, staring at Nina with blood-red eyes...... Without food and water, Nina could not stay in the temple forever.
So, Nina stood in the center of the magic circle and recited the incantation.
"Announce! Thou art subordinate to me, and may be connected with my fate! If you are willing to fulfill this vow, please respond! ”
"Swear by it! You and I will be one flesh! ”
Nina's outstretched right hand stabbed her palm with a slight force, and a drop of blood fell on the magic array.
Swish! The magic array activated suddenly, emitting a blood-colored glow.
"Boom!" Above the sky, the starlight no longer appears! Instead, there are blood-colored clouds that suddenly appeared! The color of blood was so dazzling that the dark forest under the night was illuminated by its crimson light! Immediately after, blood-colored lightning suddenly fell wildly and descended on the surrounding of this temple.
Each lightning bolt smashed a large crater of nearly ten meters, and everything nearby burned under the blazing flames.
Temple...... It also began to crumble with the sound of thunder, and the boulders began to shatter, and it was the huge idol!
Cracks also appeared, and then under the thunder, they shattered into countless fragments and scattered all over the ground.
At that moment, even the well-informed Nina thought that she had come to the end times.
I don't know how long it lasted! The lightning in the sky finally subsided...... Nina's surroundings have been turned into ruins, and the dark forest outside the temple has turned into a purgatory, a purgatory full of flames.
The marble roof and walls have also been turned into fragments scattered around the magic array, and the only thing that is complete at this moment is Nina and the magic array at Nina's feet.
"This ...... This ......" Nina whispered, clenching the short staff in her hand, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Then, Nina noticed that under the moonlight, in the center of the magic array, there was a human teenager and a black-haired teenager sitting cross-legged!
As if the surrounding noise had woken up the boy, the black-haired boy got up, rubbed his aching forehead, opened his eyes lightly and looked around, and then was slightly stunned...... In front of him, there was a magically beautiful mage girl!
With dazzling blue hair, a delicate and fair face, aqua blue charming eyes, and an absolutely fitting dress full of magical flavor, although the face is a little haggard, it is still difficult to hide its unique nobility and mysterious temperament.
"A magician?" The black-haired boy Bai Yunfei whispered to himself, he slowly stood up, but saw the female magician suddenly scream in a low voice and turned her head, and couldn't help frowning, but soon Bai Yunfei realized what the problem was.
This time I crossed, it turned out to be a speechless naked!
"Well, inexperienced." Bai Yunfei shook his head slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, the black adjudicator suit was put on his body.
"Are you also a magician?" Nina couldn't help but look back curiously, but when she saw Bai Yunfei, who was already fully dressed, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Or, are you His Royal Highness the legendary Great Demon King?" ”
"Demon King...... Bai Yunfei coughed and said, "What is that?" ”
"It's said to be a human who is about to destroy the world, aren't you?" Nina asked.
"Of course not, I don't know why I'm here." Bai Yunfei glanced around, the ruins, the firelight, and the deep dark forest outside, no matter how you looked, this was not a safe place.
"You don't know?" Nina covered her mouth in a low voice and said, "Could it be that you are my summoned beast?" ”
"Huh?" Bai Yunfei's eyes of order moved, but he was surprised to find that he really had a contract with this girl.
Although it is only an equal mutual aid contract.
"Could it be that the God of Order relied on this girl's summoning contract to teleport me?" Bai Yunfei did not object to the contract in his heart, after all, this was the easiest way to obtain the local indigenous language.
"Comprehensive evaluation level 43, professional judgment: magician, surname: female surname, age: 16-17"
"A 16-year-old Xuanwang-level magician, if she is not a genius, it can only mean that the cultivation of this world is much stronger than that of the earth." Bai Yunfei couldn't help but sigh secretly when he thought that those cultivators on the earth were already seventy or eighty, or even hundreds of years old, after they became king-level powerhouses.
Bai Yunfei raised his head and looked at Nina seriously: "Is it the summoning magic you used?" If so, it seems that I was indeed summoned by you. ”
"Really?" Nina looked at Bai Yunfei: "Although there are a lot of black hairs in the empire, but at the same time they are still black-eyed, but they have never seen it, my summoned beast, can you change your hair or pupils?" ”
"If you can, you can call me Yunfei."
"Yunfei?" Nina was slightly stunned and realized that this was a humanoid summoning beast in front of her~! According to the legends of the classics, generally speaking, summoned beasts that can transform into people are very, very powerful existences, thinking of this, Nina's tone became more gentle: "Okay, I'll call you Yunfei in the future, and you can also call me Nina, His Royal Highness the genius magician Nina~!" ”
"Your Highness? Are you a nobleman? Bai Yunfei touched his nose and looked at the forest in front of him: "Besides, what kind of place is this, why can I feel that there are many ill-intentioned creatures, watching us." ”
