Chapter XXXIX
Hundreds of millions of glittering ice crystals turned into blades flying in the sky, filling any gap.
This all-round, no-blind attack seals any illusion of dodging. Karen is also a familiar operator of ice magic, and she is naturally very clear about this mentor-level magic, she does not take meaningless avoidance actions, but focuses on all her magic power and creates layers of ice armor for herself.
The flying ice dust turned the space within a radius of 100 meters into a huge milling field, and almost all the trees were cut into powder at the moment they came into contact with the ice dust.
Although the ice armor of Kalianchuang Zào is extremely strong, it cannot be compared to the hardness similar to that of diamonds, and it is torn and shattered layer by layer in the joint strangulation of "Diamond Stardust".
If it weren't for the fact that she used magic of the same attribute and drove away a large amount of water element in the air first, so that the "Diamond Stardust" could only exert less than half of its original destructive power, it would not be just the ice armor that would be shredded now, but her body.
Karene knew that this was not the way to go, and when there were still 6 or 7 layers of ice armor left, she reached out and tore off the horse's head pendant that hung from her neck.
"Pegasus, please help me one more time. The unconfident Karene said silently in her heart.
Originally, Karen thought that after she violated the taboo, the commander would be angry and cut off the connection with her soul, which was also due to remorse, so Karen did not summon the "Doomsday Doom" at the first time, but unexpectedly, Pegasus still responded to her call as usual.
The horse's head pendant quickly took shape, transforming once more into a dark Pegasus, carrying Karen galloping between the countless blades. Karen draped the last of her and the Dark Pegasus over the last of her and the Dark Pegasus, and before the armor completely collapsed, the one managed to break through the core and densest encirclement of Diamond Stardust.
It was indeed unexpected for the opponent to be so young and skillfully manipulate such a powerful mentor-level magic, but she also saw the limitation of this magic, which was distance. Because if the "Diamond Stardust" is cast at close range, although the magician can maintain the control of the magic at the maximum, in order to avoid accidentally injuring himself, the magician must not allow any ice dust to be stored in the narrow range around him, and this safe range is easy to be used by the enemy;
Karen, taking advantage of this trait, as well as the extreme speed of her mount, launched a counterattack against Cassius, who was more than 2 kilometers away. As she expected, at a distance of 600 to 1000 meters, the density of ice dust was already quite thin, and the speed of ice dust could not keep up with her mount, she didn't even need to apply new protection to herself to fend off attacks, and Pegasus shuttled directly between the gaps in the ice dust.
The small figure had already appeared in the field of vision, and it was only a matter of blink of an eye to rush through this distance, and all that remained was to stab the spear into the mage's thin body. Karlian has seen herself win.
But this result will only be based on the premise that the enemy does not have reinforcements.
"Hurricane Arrow, Reload!"
On the side of Kalian's charging path, in a corner she hadn't noticed, there was a sharpshooter who had been lurking for a long time. Joyka tightened the string of the Mithril longbow, a faintly glowing topaz embedded in the groove of the longbow, and powerful magical energy flowed continuously.
Back in Holy Pope's Island, the dwarf Spiruk had already incorporated the topaz that Regunor had given to Joyka into his Mithril longbow, perfectly combining them into a powerful piece of enchanted equipment. Spiruk also engraved Joika's name on the enchantment, making the longbow an exclusive weapon that only Joika could wield. Even if Joyka knew nothing about magic, as long as he pronounced a simple password, the longbow would combine Joyka's mental power with the powerful magic hidden in the topaz, absorbing the air element into the air and using it for Joyka.
Joyka, who was reluctant to work hard, calculated the advance and watched as Karen rode into the range of damage that his instincts approved, a faint sneer crossed his lips, and he took a deep breath, then let go of his fingers slightly, and the long-standing arrow shot away from the string.
At first, the arrow didn't fly very fast, but after about a third of the way, the magical energy attached to the arrow was released, causing the arrow to suddenly accelerate and stir up the surrounding airflow. Centered on the spinning arrows, a small but powerful tornado was instantly created and torn apart a qiē object it encountered along its way.
Kalian, who was rushing forward at full speed, had not been able to spot Joyka and the arrows he shot due to the problem of viewing angle, but she could still feel such powerful air flow fluctuations. Karen quickly lifted the reins of her horse, causing the Darkbolts to slow down and change speed, but it seemed too late for her to dodge as she was sprinting at full speed.
The "Hurricane Arrow" did not hit her directly, but swept less than 5 meters in front of the horse's head, only to be affected by the aftermath, and the strong wind still caused her to roll over.
"How can that be!" Karen leaped from the ground and onto the back of the Dark Pegasus again.
The sneak attacker hiding in the shadows was shameful, but by the time she looked in the direction where the arrow had come from, she was gone. Obviously, this sneak attacker moved immediately after shooting the arrow, judging from this, such a powerful attack cannot be used continuously in a short period of time, otherwise there is no need for the opponent to transfer. So Karen decided to continue sprinting at the mage who was still casting spells and couldn't move.
She was right, but she overlooked the fact that there were not just two attackers.
When he rushed to less than 80 meters away from Cassius, a ball of flames, no, a figure as red as a flame appeared from behind Cassius, holding a round shield, blocking Karen's face.
The clash of spears and shields made a dull sound. Although it took less than 500 metres to relaunch the sprint, the accumulated momentum was still enough to crush anyone in its way – at least until she was held back by the opposition, Karene thought.
Although the blocker was pushed back dozens of meters by the tremendous kinetic energy of her and her mount, leaving two long and deep drag marks on the ground, the other party also managed to reduce the powerful dashing energy of her man and horse little by little, until it was finally completely neutralized. This is enough to prove that in the competition of pure power, the other party is on par with Karen, or even better.
Karen, who stopped, was able to see that the other party's figure was also a woman, wearing ancient armor and a blood-red battle robe. The reason why Karen had the illusion that the other party was like a flame was because by the side of the female warrior, there was indeed a surging flame energy entwined around her, which was dissipated by the cold energy she blessed on the spear.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a whistling sound like waves behind me. "Diamond Stardust", hundreds of millions of sharp blades, have been besieged from behind, densely "piled up" together, forming an impermeable wall of star diamonds, flashing with dazzling brilliance, surrounding Karen from the back, left and right.
And if you count the female warriors in front of her, Karen is already besieged on all sides.
"Who the hell are you?" shouted Karen, realizing that she had fallen into a trap.
At this time, the round shield was removed, and the face of the female warrior hidden behind the round shield also appeared in Karen's sight.
"Impossible...... You're dead!" said Kana, trembling.
Although Sophia, who has incarnated as a Valkyrie, has more coldness and fierceness that she usually does not have, but lacks the gentleness and kindness she had as a priest of light, her appearance has not changed at all.
What Karen couldn't accept was that as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who symbolized "sudden death", the person who should have been killed in the ice easily was actually standing in front of her.
A qiē has to start from 6 days ago, that unquiet night.
Bess, the winged elf who discovered the ambusher, was about to tell Sophia what she knew, but before she could say anything, she was scolded by Sophia without asking why. This made Beth very embarrassed, and returned to the airship in a huff, and she did not warn Sophia of the danger lurking, as revenge and teasing Sophia.
The bored Beth wandered around the airship, and finally her eyes fell on Cassius, who was seriously ill and unconscious, lying on the bed, and at this time, a trace of "evil thoughts" naturally flowed through Bes's mind.
In fact, Beth wanted to do this from the beginning, but Sophia was forced to take care of her day and night, so Bessy's "conspiracy" never succeeded, and now Sophia is not there, hehe......
The Winged Elf, full of bad water, took an ink-stained quill and flew quietly above Cassius's face.
But just as she was about to paint Cassius's face, the sound of someone approaching from outside the hatch frightened Beth hurriedly threw away the quill and hid behind a cupboard.
The hatch of the airship was opened, and it was not Sophia who walked in, but a strange man. This man was of medium stature, wearing an earthy yellow robe, tied around his waist with a cowhide belt, with a turban similar to that of an ancient nomad on his head, and a gray cloth wrapped around his face, which could not be seen clearly, and most strikingly, he was covered with a dozen cloth bags, all of which were bulging.
The protective barrier set up by Sophia with the Valkyrie's soul outside showed no signs of weakening, indicating that the man had tricked the protective barrier into coming in by other means.
Beth didn't dare to say anything, she peeked from behind the cupboard, and saw the man come straight to Cassius, he crouched down, took out the items from the bag, and then fiddled with Cassius without knowing what to do. Since the man had his back to the cabinet, Beth couldn't see what he had taken out, nor what he had done to Cassius.
After about 5 minutes, the man stood up, Cassius suddenly let out violent convulsions, accompanied by screams, his expression looked quite painful, about ten seconds later, Cassius suddenly stopped moving, he spewed out a black blood arrow with a "whoosh", and then passed out again.
The mysterious man turned around and walked in the direction of the hatch.
"Ouch, you've healed him. The Winged Elf floated out from behind the cabinet.
Not feeling that the other party was in danger, Beth felt the need to hide any longer.
"I'm 'Coroner' Tony Nader. The mysterious man stopped, but did not look back, apparently he had already noticed that Beth was hiding behind the cabinet, "When this fat man wakes up, help me tell the Lich King: Go and rescue that ignorant yellow-haired girl." ”
