Chapter 43: Breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn
() Stigmata?
Sophia looked at her bleeding hands, she never dreamed that she would have such powers. There was a loud bang in the sky, and she remembered that her teacher, St. Angel, had told her that she had a powerful potential that could be measured, but she didn't know how to use it. Sophia originally thought that this was just Teacher Angel's encouragement to cheer her up, but she didn't expect it to happen, it seems that Teacher Angel is talking about the huge potential, referring to the divine power of stigma.
"You look confused. It's okay, if you're going to give up this kind of power that even you don't dare to accept, I'm happy to accept it. Korista looked at Sophia with a smirk.
"You're wrong. I won't be confused anymore, I'll no longer be depressed, and I'll never cry anymore. I heard Owen's voice, and I could feel my companions fighting, wounded, and bleeding to save me. Now, it's my turn to repay them. Sophia expressed her determination to Krista in a loud voice.
......
The invisible wind swept over the city, and white clouds floated by, adding changing colors to the city that never sets.
The streets that used to be bustling with hustle and bustle are now quiet and serene, and all pedestrians and vendors are gone. Perhaps it is because the creator of the "field" has left the edge. Now there is still a figure standing on the deserted street, and there is only Korista alone. She stayed where she was and never left.
"The insect dies and then breaks out of the cocoon into a butterfly, and the phoenix can be reborn in Nirvana, and in the end you did it. Krista smiled, looked up at the blue sky, and said, "Little girl, I hope we will see each other for a moment." ”
The night before dawn is the time when light and darkness alternate, and it is also the darkest hour.
There was a slight vibration throughout the Dawning Villa, and the closer you got to the main building, the more the sand and gravel on the ground jumped.
An unprecedented spiritual power came out of the main building of the villa, and the more than a thousand vampires living on the periphery of the main building were all attracted by this extraordinary spiritual power, and they woke up from their slumber one after another, and ran outside to find out what was happening. It was obvious to them that this spiritual power did not come from the Blood Lord they were familiar with.
In a corner of the arena, on the shoulder of a giant statue that had not been destroyed in the battle a few hours ago, the black fox was leaning back against the statue and closing his eyes to recuperate, he also felt this spiritual power, stretched his waist listlessly, opened his lazy eyes, and hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Hehe, it's really not good to sleep tonight. ”
The sixth floor of the main building of Dawning Villa, which belongs to the territory of the Eight Sages Sparrow. The sparrow, battered by the sacred, had been taken back to her room by her lieutenant, and she was now lying on the bed with a serious injury waiting for treatment, and she was in a deep shock, not because she had lost to a cunning human, but because she sensed a huge spiritual power coming from a certain floor downstairs.
This psychic power did not come from the Vampire Prince, but Sparrow was no stranger to it, for a few days earlier she had been in close contact with its owner, and it was a very unpleasant contact for both parties.
The council hall on the first floor.
Whether it was Ionic, Leon, and Melissa who were surrounding the unconscious Cassius, or Orome, who was still sitting in his seat reading a book, they all felt this spiritual power while shaking in the main building.
"Why is this happening?" Orome pushed his glasses, but couldn't get an answer. Those glasses could monitor any corner of the Blood Mountains, but they couldn't do anything inside the blood cavities.
Suddenly, Cassius, who was already unconscious, let out a scream of pain.
"Woo, woo...... Wow, ah, ah, ah......"
Cassius was awakened by a sharp pain coming from the middle finger of his left hand, and then fainted in pain. I saw that the space storage ring he wore on the middle finger of his left hand suddenly became extremely hot for some reason, and the dark green ring that was originally engraved with white magic runes turned into a red-hot soldering iron ring, burning the skin near Cassius's fingers, and not only that, but it also greedily absorbed magic from Cassius, as if the ring itself had a life of its own.
The spatial ring, which had absorbed enough magic power, broke away from Cassius's finger on its own, rose into the air about 10 meters above Cassius's head, and let out a "boom" sound, bursting open a spatial portal, and all the things that had been stored in the zài were thrown out in one go. Of these, the vast majority were all kinds of food, followed by uncooked ingredients, then water, clothes, magic books, notebooks, scrolls, magic potions that were not used in battle, magic sentry posts, stinky socks, atlases that were not suitable for children, gold coins, small stones picked up on the roadsides everywhere, griffon feathers, children's toys, folding tents...... There's a lot to it all. In short, whether useful or useless, there is only almost everything that can be thought of, and it is like rain, and it is thrown all over the council hall.
"Hell, what kind of magician is this, all kinds of garbage!" Seeing Cassius's "treasures", Leon scolded directly.
Uonic shook his head as well, how could anyone use the precious space to store the ring like this?
A small picture album fell in front of Melissa, and when she saw the beautiful pictures inside, she showed a despicable gaze, and was too lazy to look at the fat man lying on the ground. Men are all this virtuous, and the world is as black as a crow.
Before the contents of the ring could be fully thrown, the portal closed automatically, and the ring seemed to suddenly lose all momentum, falling limply, landing on Cassius' belly, and then bouncing to the ground.
In fact, the change that happened just now was not the consciousness of the space ring itself, but the self-consciousness of something stored in the zài ring to break free from the cage;
It was a Valkyrie statue about a foot high, it was originally lodged in Sophia's body, but it was forcibly extracted by the vampire prince in the battle of Hansha City a few days ago, but this thought body agglomeration is an ancient artifact, it has long been dripping blood to recognize the master, even if it is separated from the master, as long as the master is not dead, the master-slave relationship between the two sides will not be severed;
Before the Eight Sages could react, the Valkyrie statue had already crashed through the ceiling.
However, the Vampire Prince was indifferent to the Valkyrie statue that fled on its own, as his attention was being drawn to something else. The prince crouched down, picked up a small cloth bag from the "garbage heap", and rubbed it in his hand. Judging by the change in the shape of the small cloth bag, what it contained was probably some kind of powder. The prince's eyes as he looked at the small cloth bag revealed some complicated feelings......
The fourth floor, the heart of Dawning Villa.
I don't know if it's because of the so-called "dark under the lamp", or because the attention is too focused on the fight, no one notices the powerful spiritual power emanating from the blood cavity close at hand.
Now that the battle is over, the disparity in strength cannot be compensated for by the superiority in numbers alone. You Shi, who liberated all the power of the vampire, showed her strength as a sage of the eight, and although several lieutenants came prepared, they ended up defeated. Except for the old man, codenamed "B", the other five people have all been knocked to the ground.
"Terry, James, Sally, Liya, **Bu......" The hunchbacked old man, who was still undefeated, called out to his companions lying on the ground one by one.
"You've done your best, so you should have a clearer understanding of the gap between the ordinary bloodlines and the eight sages. Yushi was not arrogant by overwhelming superiority, she still respected her opponents, "It is honorable to be faithful to the Lord, but it does not include foolishness. ”
"Thank you for your mercy, Lord Yus. But the words of the gentleman are absolutely preserving to us, even if they are broken, there is no right to refuse. We can't help ourselves. The old man's tone of voice revealed helplessness.
"Can't help yourself?" You Shi noticed the old man's voice, "Could it be that Eurom uses drugs or other methods to control your behavior?" She has been here for hundreds of years, and she has a full understanding of the eight oldest sages of Orome, and in the eyes of this research maniac, there seems to be no concept of companions or subordinates, only the difference between real and non-real products.
The old man did not directly answer You Shi's question, he raised his cane and placed it horizontally in front of him: "Lord You Shi, why do you think that my old body of Zumali can be given the code name 'B' by Mr. Until now, I have not shown my strength in front of you. ”
"Do you want to fight? Okay, let me show you how good Orome's second lieutenant really is. "You Shi easily responded.
However, the duel between Zumali and Yushi did not take place, and was interrupted by a third force that had rushed in.
A hole suddenly exploded in the floor, and debris splattered. The one-foot-tall Valkyrie statue finally came to the fourth floor where the blood chamber was located after crashing through three layers of rock floor in a row. However, the castration of the statue was not over, and it circled in mid-air, and under the gaze of Yushi and Zumali, it slammed headlong into the invisible wall of the barrier that hid the blood cavity......
"Boom" ......
Sophia, armed again with the Valkyrie, and Owen, who was seriously wounded, leaped from the blasted exterior wall, looking like a bright red flame from a distance.
She and Owen landed in an open space in the front yard of Dawning Hills. Sophia gently placed Owen on the ground, then took off her red robe, covering it over the round shield. The round shield hovered to a height of about two meters above the ground, and together with the battle robe, it enveloped Owen's whole body, forming a protective barrier of holy light.
"Thanks, Owen, you can rest for a while. ”
"Wait a minute......"
But Sophia didn't respond to Owen, and her shadow had already flown away from him. Sophia showed super high bounce and leaped along the façade of the main building at high speed.
In the process of ascending, Sophia threw her spear down, and the spear pierced several layers of walls into the first-floor chamber, nailing it to the floor beside Cassius. At the same time, Sophia's left and right shoulder armor and wrist armor automatically unloaded, splitting into a dozen pieces to follow the path of the spear. Fragments of detached armor were embedded in the floor beside Cassius, forming a circle that echoed the spear. The spear burst into flames, and the fragments of armor rose with flames, joining into a circular wall of flames, enveloping Cassius inside.
The three sages who were originally standing beside Cassius were forced to retreat again and again by the heat wave emitted by the wall of fire, and they could no longer get close to Cassius, who was protected by the flames.
By this time, Sophia had jumped to the top of Dawning Villa. She stood on top of the spire, letting the cold wind move her long golden hair tied into a ponytail, without the hunting Valkyrie robes, with only the torso and some of the feet on her body, and only a saber left in her weapon, but she was not chilling at all, but more concise and spiritual.
Although it was far away, Owen could clearly see Sophia's eyes.
"Firm, clear, without hesitation, there is nothing to worry about to have such a look. Owen closed his eyes reassuringly, he was too tired and really needed a good rest.
