A few minutes ago.

Village intersection.

Due to the cracking of the "ghost press", the tide of battle was turned over in an instant.

"Oops!"

Emilia, who sensed that something was wrong, immediately took countermeasures while controlling the acidic blood mist to resist the damage of the light. She lifted her right foot and slammed it firmly on the ground.

Although her feet looked slender and weak, this pause carried a thousand powers, and the whole earth shook, and the vibration caused by the pause also produced a powerful reaction force, bounced everything within two meters of her body, including Alice's body.

But now Emilia has no interest in Alice, she casually waved Alice away, and accurately grasped the handle of her kitchen knife in a large pile of flying mud and rubble.

"Die!" Without the slightest hesitation, Emilia rushed towards Sophia with a kitchen knife.

There was only one thing she had to do, and that was to cut off Sophia's head, and even if it would have failed her mission, Emilia knew that a freed Stigmata would be absolutely fatal to her curse.

An even stronger light emanated from Sophia's body, and although it was wrapped in a thick mist of blood, Emilia's skin was still burned. Emilia forcibly ignored the pain on her body and slashed the kitchen knife at Sophia without flinching!

However, Emilia was still half a step slower, and the kitchen knife failed to cut off Sophia's head, but it did cut something that was hard to tie.

Valkyrie's shield appeared in front of Sophia out of thin air, blocking the fatal blow for her. Even though her hands and feet were still imprisoned by a cross made of blood and mud, the soul of the Valkyrie, who had made the contract, was able to carry out Sophia's orders without hindrance.

Just as Emilia wanted to bypass the round shield and attack Sophia from the side, she suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure from above her head. When Emilia looked up, she saw a spear hanging above her head, and the spear stabbed down with lightning speed, hitting the center of Amelia's eyebrows.

However, due to Amelia's adult state, all aspects of her body have been improved beyond ordinary people, including the toughness of her skin. The free-falling Valkyrie spear struck her, but it failed to break through the steely skin and pierced the entire skull, merely brushing her face and sliding to the side, leaving a long trail of blood on her face.

"Damn!" Emilia took a step back, clutching the wound on her face.

Even though the wound on Amelia's face was rapidly closing, she was one step further away from Sophia. And this kind of attack made her feel pain that she hadn't felt in a long time, which made her a little distracted, and her control over the acidic blood mist was slightly leaked.

This omission was caught by Sophia, who channeled her energy throughout her body, creating an explosion on the surface of her body that could identify friend and foe.

"Bang ......"

The entire Blood Mudge Cross was blown open, and the last layer of confinement that bound Sophia was broken.

Emilia slashed at Sophia's neck from the right side. Sophia picked up the round shield in front of her and tried her best to block it - "boom"!

The sword and shield struck, but the attack was not defused, and the fierce collision of the two evenly matched energies did not cancel each other out, but produced a double impact under the reaction force, bouncing the two in opposite directions.

"Uh!" Sophia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and quickly rolled over from the ground.

"Hahaha......" Emilia smirked and stood up. Although in terms of injuries, Emilia is the one who suffers more, but after this confrontation, in her opinion, Sophia, who lifted the "ghost press", is not a powerful character.

However, Emilia clearly miscalculated, and when she rushed towards Sophia again, it was not just a shield for defense that attacked her kitchen knife, but a spear for attack!

The destructive power of the freefall was no match for the destructive power of the body just now, and the spear was manipulated by Sophia, piercing through the solid skin and digging into the soft flesh. The depth of the piercing was shallow, but it was enough to shatter Amelia's hubris.

It was only after suffering a great loss that Emilia took a fresh look at her enemies. At this time, Sophia's arms were already covered with the armor of the Valkyrie, and the sudden strengthening of the piercing just now was obviously the increase in strength given by the armor.

Not only her arms, but in just a few seconds, Sophia's feet, straddles, abdomen, chest, and shoulders were successively covered with Valkyrie armor condensed with magical power.

Emilia struggled to break free of her spear and retreated. She didn't try to stop Sophia's armor from fully forming, because she knew she couldn't stop it, and at this point, Emilia had to find another way to win.

As the fiery robe hung behind her back, the Valkyrie's soul had been completely resurrected on Sophia's body. But Sophia found that the enemy did not take the opportunity to attack her, but accelerated to flee backwards.

Is she going to run away?

Sophia notices Alice lying in the distance. There is no doubt that hostage-taking is the most effective way to deal with an opponent with a character like Sophia.

But what Emilia could think of, Sophia would certainly think of. At this distance, she was too late to save Alice, but Sophia did not hurry, she held the spear behind her back, pulled her arms back, and threw the heavy spear like a javelin.

And Emilia had expected Sophia to do this, and when she heard the whistling sound, she had already flipped in the air, avoiding the spear flying at high speed, but she guessed the beginning, but she could not guess the end. Before Emilia could hit the ground, another high-speed approaching hard object had hit her chin with a "bang", and Emilia was in mid-air, unable to exert any force, and was knocked into two somersaults, flying farther until she crashed across a hay house where the horses were kept.

At the moment when the spear was thrown, Sophia rounded the shield and rotated her body to throw it with centrifugal force, the time difference, distance, strength, and angle were all just right. Although Emilia has more than a hundred years of combat experience, compared to the Valkyrie Alvette ten thousand years ago, she is simply a class man with an axe. "Emilia saw through Sophia's ability to throw a spear" was already in Sophia's calculations.

Temporarily repelled the strong enemy, giving Sophia time to get to Alice's side.

At this time, Alice was completely unconscious, not to mention helping Sophia, it was difficult to even protect herself. Sophia raised her hands, and the spear and shield that had fallen in the distance vanished into magic, and then re-manifested on her hands. Sophia flipped the spear and plunged it into the ground beside Alice, then rested the shield on the end of the spear, then took off her robe and put it on top of it.

The spear, the round shield, and the battle robe were combined to resemble a small tent, covering Alice's whole body.

In this way, the simple protective enchantment is complete. Although it may seem unreliable on the surface, Alice is perfectly safe until Sophia is killed by the enemy.

After taking care of her companions, Sophia turned to face the direction in which Emilia had been sent flying.

Beneath the ruins of a collapsed straw house, there was the sound of "giggling" laughter.

Even if she regained her original ability, she must not underestimate the enemy, this difficult enemy will not be defeated so easily, Sophia concentrates and prepares for a hard battle.
