Chapter 139: Hatred of the Enemy
Sophia closed her eyes in the face of the flying ball of energy, she knew that she was unable to dodge and defend, but as long as she could stand up and pick up a weapon, even if it was a minute or a second, she had to buy time for Owen. Use the reader to read thousands of novels, completely ad-free! Thinking of this, Sophia suddenly opened her eyes and raised the disappearing round shield.
The loud bang was accompanied by a strange purple flash, and Sophia spat blood and took a few steps backwards. The magical shield had completely vanished after resisting the attack, and the tattered armor on her body did not last much, but Sophia was still standing.
"Being able to survive such an attack seems to be a bit of fun for the Valkyries. Mephistopheles teased Sophia's wolf-bรจi look.
What was still a look of incomparably angry eyes.
"What kind of eyes are you, sinner, what is awe!" Mephistopheles' eyes were bloodshot, and the confrontation with the Force countercurrent had made him extremely angry, and Sophia's gaze was even more inflammatory. "Kneel!" the demon roared, accompanied by an irresistible force. Sophia's whole body suddenly went limp, and her feet trembled, but she supported her body with a spear and never knelt down to the demon.
Sophia's tenacity annoyed Mephistopheles, who continued to increase his pressure and cast gravity magic. Finally, the spear that could not be held back shattered one by one, turning into magic and disappearing. However, Sophia did not give in, and although she had lost the support of her spear, she drew her saber at her waist with all her might, and supported her body instead of the spear. Blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, nostrils, and eyes, staining her beautiful face red. Mephistopheles continued to increase his coercion and gravity on Sophia, saying that he would make this uninteresting woman completely submit from the depths of her heart.
"Again, Sophia...... It's going to die!" Cassius roared as he lay on the ground with a voice that almost tore his chest.
"Bastard, I can't move...... although I want to save Sophia, Joika can't do it, and the attack just now has completely incapacitated the three of them.
"Competent...... Come at me!" Ray yelled at Mephistopheles in vain.
Mephistopheles was disgusted by the life-and-death companionship between several young people. At this time, Sophia's eyes were white, but she still relied on the last bit of Valkyrie power to maintain the last of human self-esteem with the bent waist knife. Although she knew that doing so would subject her to more brutal torture, she would also buy Owen more time...... Sophia's tenacity was beyond Mephistopheles' expectations, the humans he understood couldn't withstand the pressure and gravity of this journey, and even among the demons, few people could hold out for that long. The only praise that can be given to the strength of human beings is a harsher punishment!
"Throw ......" There was a sharp sound from the southwest, and a round object that emitted an orange-red "color" light tore through the cold, turbid air and flew towards the demon with powerful destructive "sexual" energy.
Mephistopheles sensed the sneak attack, and he deployed his right flank to defend himself. The devastated city of Mannon was once again faced with a baptism of explosion of unprecedented proportions, and the place where the demon was located and the area around it were instantly reduced to a sea of fire.
"Large-scale fire attack magic, based on the way the elements fluctuate, it can be concluded that it was cast by a human mage, but there is a clear difference. When she came up from the bottom of the sea again, Elena witnessed it.
As Mephistopheles was distracted, Sophia broke free from the shackles of coercion and gravity, coughing incessantly in the smoke like everyone else lying on the ground. The surroundings turned into a sea of fire, but the friends survived the indirect protection of the demon's wings due to their proximity to Mephistopheles.
"Magic cannonball!" Cassius, who had lived in the Snowy Federation for many years, immediately understood what was going on.
The so-called "magic cannonball" is a magic weapon that uses alchemy to compress a large amount of magical energy into a special magic storage stone, and then uses a special device to "shoot" it. Although the size of the magic missile is small, it can release a large amount of magical energy in an instant, and its destructive power and killing range are considerable. It was a new weapon developed 10 years earlier to resist the Crusader invasion, and was originally designed to counter the formidable trebuchet positions of the Crusaders. However, after the end of the war, the high-level of the Ministry of War found that in addition to the long range of "shooting", the magic guide shells did not have much advantage over the traditional large magic array, and due to the high price of the special storage magic stones for the manufacture of magic guide shells, it was necessary to manufacture a supporting "fire" device, the cost was too high, the military felt that it was not cost-effective, so they no longer favored them, and after a period of mass production, the magic guide shells were gradually discontinued.
And the sudden appearance of the forgotten magic cannonball at this moment is definitely not accidental. Sure enough, a huge black shadow appeared in the southwest sky at some point. That dark shadow was neither a demon nor a dragon, not even any living being, but a flying ship, the pride of the alchemy of the Snowy Federation to be precise: a flying ship!
The ship was less than half the size of the Gagarin, but Cassius recognized it as a military-only combat airship. At this time, the float lowered its altitude, and the voices of a man and a woman were heard from the ship.
"See what you've done?" the girl scolded the person next to her.
"Obviously you made me ''. The man innocently confessed.
"You don't look at the timing, what if you accidentally hurt Sister Sophia and the others!"
"You're worried about that dead fat man. โ
"Closed ...... Shut up, are you stupid?"
"Okay, anyway, now that the magic cannonballs are fired, there's nothing to do with us here, so hurry back. โ
"Stop! Are you irresponsible? We have to go down and see what happens." โ
"No!"
"You're not going, okay, I'll go down by myself!"
"Hey, don't mess around...... Okay, okay, I'll go down with you. โ
Apparently, during an argument, the two inadvertently activated the ship's amplification magic, allowing people on the ground to hear their conversation clearly. "Ischennova, Lyle, is that you?" Cassius recognized the two familiar voices.
The airship landed on the ground, the hatch opened, and the girl in the wheelchair vigorously pushed the two wheels of the wheelchair towards Cassius. The boy with the oak magic wand who followed her knew it was her brother without thinking about it. "Ishinnova, be careful!" Lyle reminded his sister in the back, but he didn't expect that he would be recklessly thrown by the broken bricks and tiles, and fell to the ground with a "porphyr". Ischenova didn't pay any attention to her brother, who fell from behind, and came directly to Cassius. Cassius ...... Oh my God, what's going on?" Ishnova was shocked to see her friends lying on the ground, drenched in blood.
"I don't care, hurry up and help others. Cassius quickly shook his head.
Lyle, who was bruised and swollen, also caught up, but before he could speak, he was blocked by his sister's words: "Brother, let's save people quickly!" The younger sister completely ignored his gesture, which made Lyle feel very depressed, but he could only do it helplessly.
As the siblings moved the seriously injured four together, Cassius asked, "Ishinnova, how do you have a flying ship?"
"After you left Porfishagrad that day, Uncle Shuvashenki and Big Brother Sakharov returned to the School of Magic, and found this unfinished airship in the warehouse under the school, along with a magic cannonball and a complete set of firing devices. Uncle Shuvashenki found it useful, so he asked the alchemists to repair the airship and bring it to the refuge. โ
"Also, now I'm the only one who can start the airship, and I'm its exclusive owner. Lyle crossed his waist like a little kid, smug.
But my sister's face was a plate of cold water: "Don't talk nonsense, the airship is the property of the Federation, and after the other magicians in the shelter recover their magic, you have to return it back." โ
Lyle's face suddenly sank. But the brother and sister were interrupted by a strange and discordant noise. "A few more bed bugs. "An unsettling giant figure emerged from the flames, shielded from explosions and flames, and powerful magic cannonballs did no damage to Mephistopheles at all.
"This ...... What is this......" Lyle went limp under the powerful pressure.
"He's the demon Satan Mephistopheles, the culprit who turned the Snowy Federation into this!" said Sophia through gritted teeth.
Compared to her brother's gaffe, Ischenova appeared much calmer. Although the demon's coercion was also a great shock to her spirit, staying by Cassius's side made her feel more than half of the pressure, and she bravely shouted, "Then let him taste the power of the protector!" As soon as she finished speaking, a skylight automatically opened on the top of the airship. A 5-meter-tall giant with steel armor jumped out of the skylight.
"Who are you?" Mephistopheles asked in a tone that could not be disobeyed. This guy is so large that he is definitely not human, but what puzzles Mephistopheles is that he can't guess what race the giant body wrapped under the iron armor is, and he can't even feel any life fluctuations from the giant. "Cut!" Mephistopheles snorted, creating a ball of magical energy that destroyed miรจ 'sex' and threw it at the giant.
The energy ball hit the giant impartially, but nothing was destroyed, not even a magic reaction occurred, and the iron giant's body suddenly opened countless small holes, sucking all the purple energy of the energy ball into his body.
"What?" the long-lived Mephistopheles was obviously surprised when he encountered such an opponent for the first time.
But the Iron Giant ignored Mephistopheles' surprise at all, and as it ran towards Mephistopheles, it "returned" the amount of magical energy it had absorbed into its body. Mephistopheles hurriedly opened the shield to resist his magic, and as soon as the two were neutralized, the Iron Giant had already rushed in front of him, and Mephistopheles unleashed a powerful coercion that could make thousands of people instantly collapse, but the giant was completely unmoved, and punched the demon in the face.
"How can this be!" Mephistopheles was furious, but the other party replied with another punch in the face.
"That's it, kill him!" Ray exclaimed happily at the sight of the Iron Giant taking advantage of Mephistopheles.
"Is it a protector? It seems to be a little different than before. Cassius said.
"Yes. I translated my grandfather's notes, and after more than 100 alchemists in the vault worked day and night, I finally created 'Harvey XVII', a new 'protector' that is even more powerful than the previous ones. "Ishineva's pride is 'exposed' in 'color'.
"By the way, how did you get here?" asked Joyka about something important but overlooked.
"Early the morning before yesterday, countless barbarian cavalry suddenly rushed out of the silver wind taiga, and dozens of silver dragons flew in the sky. At that time, the people in the prison were panicked, thinking that another disaster was coming, but they did not expect that these barbarians and silver dragons were just passing by. And I saw that the barbarian in the lead looked very much like Mr. Owen, and thought something was going on, so my brother and I secretly followed the barbarian army here. โ
"It's about me, it's obvious that you're making your own claims. Lyle protested.
"Are you hiding it from the Minister?" Cassius was surprised. However, if you think about it carefully, how could the brother and sister, with the "sex" of the Minister of Discipline, allow the siblings to take away the floating fortress and protector on which the safety of the refuge depends? Sure enough, the ugly expressions of the siblings' silent silence confirmed his thoughts.
"These things don't matter anymore, even the protectors don't last long. I'm going to give all my remaining mana to Sophia. Cassius endured the severe pain and stretched out her trembling right hand to Sophia, but because the bones of the hand had been broken and could not be lifted at all, Ischennova understood, grabbed Cassius's hand and gently placed it on Sophia's palm. A warm current of magic flowed through her palms into Sophia's body, and she felt the soul of the Valkyrie, which had faded away, returned, and the tattered armor on her body was repairing itself.
The golden flames suddenly ignited on Sophia's body, but the flames did not cause any harm to her, but gradually merged into her body. "This is my last flame. Ray said.
Then, a bloody right hand reached out from the side, and placed a long sword that had been covered with blood and a silver luster into Sophia's hand. "Take it and use it, remember to return it. Joyka barely "revealed" that never-for-all smile. Sophia picked up the Mithril alloy longsword, which was covered in blood and body heat, and she felt the power of the battle spirit lodged on the sword.
"This ......" Ischenova searched all over her body, and finally "touched" a bottle of healing "medicine", solemnly held it to Sophia, and said apologetically, "I was so in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to bring a few more bottles." At this time, Ischenova saw Lyle who was in a daze next to her, so she touched him with her elbow: "Don't be in a daze, quickly pass on your magic power to Sister Sophia." โ
"Ahh
"Then you still need to ask?" Ishennova stared at him with a natural gaze.
"No......! All right. "Sister is his eternal weakness, and Lyle reluctantly puts his hand on it, reluctantly channeling his magic to Sophia.
Tears blurred Sophia's eyes, and she felt the power of "faith" through the heat transmitted to her companions.
At the same time, Mephistopheles, who finally understood what the protector was, completely dismembered the opponent, and the demon stood in the middle of a large pile of scattered parts, and said with a gloomy face: "This is your last trick? Die obediently!"
However, the six young men did not flinch, even though they were bruised and exhausted, their hands were tightly clasped together, explaining to the demons what it means to be "hated together"!
"We humans are weak in your eyes, but we have companions around us, and you are alone and alone. Fearlessly, Sophia issued a final declaration of war against the demon Satan, "Let the horses come, demon!"
