Chapter 105: Withered
Julian hugged Frey, and the two looked at each other deeply, which greatly stimulated Ipeia.
"You are not allowed to get close to her!" Ipeia ordered Julian in an almost frantic manner, and the two overlapping voices sounded eerie.
In fact, Ipeia has long known about the relationship between Frey and Julian, and the reason why she still keeps her by her side is that in addition to Frey being a useful pawn, there is also an important reason, that is, Ipeia has absolute confidence in her charm, and she believes that she will not lose to any woman no matter what, but now Julian's actions have completely ripped off the last fig leaf of Ipeya and destroyed her strong and fragile self-esteem.
A raging sandstorm wreaked havoc in the gloomy dungeons, the sand devouring every building they touched like a swarm of locusts. The powerful impact force could not be fully released in the confined space, causing it to accumulate repeatedly, and finally rose into the sky, crashing through the thick ground, and the sand flow rushed straight to Alexandria.
"This woman has gone mad. ”
Julian, in the middle of a sandstorm, felt the pressure like never before. In the battle at Fernandez Manor, Ipeia eliminated more than 70 killers of the "Sun-Eater Pupil" with this move, and now with the power of the Valkyrie, the power of the sandstorm has increased by at least ten times the original power. While neither Julian nor Frey would be killed immediately under the protection of both the Holy Sword and the Magic Sword, however, as the air became less and less, it was only a matter of time before Julian and Frey would eventually suffocate to death, and with Frey's current physical condition, she would lose her breath sooner than Julian.
"Frey, no matter what the cost, I will never, never let anything happen to you again!"
Julian let Frey lean on his right shoulder, half-crouched, and raised his sword flat.
It was time to give them the final blow—and at this critical moment, Ipeia hesitated, and the hand that raised the scepter was slow to swing it. After a few seconds of this state of mind, as if to finally make up her mind, Ipeia took a step back, closed her eyes tightly, and swung her scepter across the swing, changing the way the magic was controlled.
The sandstorm, which had been extremely widespread, shrank rapidly, but became more powerful, and was compressed into a small area of only 5 meters in diameter, and controlled by 16 flying swords stuck in the ground. Due to the high compression of energy, the pressure inside the Salon Scroll showed a geometric level increase, enough to crush any physical object, whether it was a human fragile body or an impenetrable Mithril Alloy Warframe, it was only a matter of seconds......
Julian was almost certain to die. But what if such a battle is won, it will not bring any joy at all - Ipeya shed a tear of sadness.
At this moment, a loud "boom" suddenly erupted from inside the Sharon Scroll, and the Sharon Scroll, which was enough to shatter everything, was destroyed by the huge force that suddenly appeared from inside to stabilize its magical power, and the Sharon Roll collapsed, but the sand magic did not disappear, but turned back into countless sands, filling every corner of the city.
After the dust gradually dispersed, Julian, who was located in the center of the original salon roll, also appeared. He was covered in yellow sand, his right shoulder tilted slightly so that Frey was next to his shoulder, and his hands were crossed in front of him, the tips of the holy sword and the magic sword pointing to the ground. This is the posture after the release of the Battle Spirit Skill "Cross Panic Flash", indeed, to split such a strong salon scroll, there is only an equally powerful Battle Spirit Skill. However, at this time, Julian was out of breath, there was no trace of war spirit around his body, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was covered with sand, and his face was covered with sand, so he couldn't see his face clearly, only the bruised tendons were particularly dazzling.
"I didn't expect Bazak to teach you the secret art that the Menavino family never passed down. Ipeiya said coldly, "But have you ever counted how many times you've used the Battle Spirit Technique since you came in? Even if I don't do it now, the side effects of the secret technique will kill you." ”
"She even knows that?!" a chill passed through Julian's heart.
Now no matter how much she bluffs, it's useless, this terrible woman has already seen through everything. Julian no longer held back the rolling blood in his heart, and spurted out a large tent of blood with a "poof".
Frey's body was also covered with a layer of sand, and she was very close to Julian, so she also felt very clearly that Julian at this time was not just "exhausted" or "exhausted", but simply burned his life as the last candle. She didn't know what the "secret technique of the Menavino family" in Ipeia's mouth was, and she didn't know what the so-called side effects were, but the man next to her who was desperately trying to protect her was in a very bad situation, which was what Frey really felt. Frey tore open the right leg of her pants, ripped off another crossbow strapped to her right calf, and fired three wound arrows at Ipeia.
Without dodging, Ipeia sneered as she endured three arrows into her head, and her head sand melted.
"Bang" - Things didn't go as smoothly as Ipeia thought, the sanding of her body did negate the shots of the short crossbow, but she didn't expect the short arrow, after being hindered, suddenly exploded, exploding into a fireball in her already sandy head. Ipeya's body shook and took a step back, and finally the sand extinguished the flames, and Ipeya's head was once again restored, but no longer unscathed. Her forehead was damaged, and a stream of blood ran down her left cheek.
Although it was only a skin wound, Frey's attack was a real and effective wound to Ipeja's sandy body.
"The stinky girl is very clever and knows how to use fire to restrain my sand. But--" Ipeya sneered grimly, and her entire body, along with her armor and scepter, turned into fluttering sand and vanished, leaving only the metal wheels that had been fixed to the back of the armor.
The metal wheel flew into the air, spinning at high speed and crashing into Julian. The weakened Julian could not avoid it, so he could only fight hard with his two swords.
"Boom" - Julian was knocked away with his sword, and in mid-air he spewed out another stream of bloody arrows. But even after being knocked away, Julian still hugged Frey to let her go, never letting her be hurt in the slightest.
After hitting Julian, the wheel also turned around and came to Julian's right. The sand fluttering around it converged on the metal wheels, and finally in front of the wheels, they coalesced again into Ipeia's body.
"But to melt the sand into rock, it takes at least 5,000 degrees Celsius!" Ipeia finished the second half of her sentence, picking up her scepter and smashing it down on the top of Frey's head, who was on top of Julian.
"Bang--"
Julian raised his sword to block it, but he didn't expect him to underestimate the power of Ipeya. Ipeia, who has obtained the soul of the Valkyrie, is no longer the weak confessing sorceress, and the heavy force of her staff is beyond the resistance of Julian at the end of the strong crossbow. The magic sword "Tears of Repentance" fell to the ground, and the violent vibration passed down Julian's arm, almost breaking his heart and lungs, but the stubborn Julian still raised his right hand and forced himself to take the second battle that Ipeia swung.
All the worst-case scenarios that were originally envisaged are still vastly underestimated. This time, the moment the scepter touched Julian's arm, it didn't shatter his arm bones, but something more serious happened: a strange magic came from the scepter, sucking a lot of water from Julian's arm.
"Ah......h
Not only the water in the bloodstream, but also the water in the cell walls is quickly drained. His right arm was withering and shrinking at a rapid rate, becoming a twig-like dry corpse hand. However, the right arm was only the beginning, and the terrifying magic on the scepter quickly spread to the rest of Julian's body.
At the last moment, Frey suddenly broke free from Julian's protection, and she grabbed Ipeya's scepter with both hands, along with her left hand, which held it.
The withered magic vanished from Julian's body, but was transferred to Frey, her body quickly drying up, and even the veins on her face were visible.
"Don't!" said Julian.
But Frey refused to let go of the scepter. Ipeia was furious, and with a flick of her free right hand, a flying sword stuck in the ground automatically came to her hand, and Ipeia took the flying sword and stabbed Frey in the stomach, but Frey's tenacity was far beyond Ipeia's expectations, and although a lot of water was sucked away from her body, she still struck Ipaya's helmeted head with her forehead.
With a "snap", the skin on Frey's head cracked open, and not much blood flowed out, but on the other hand, Ipeia was also hit by Frey's head and bleeding, and the ruthless Ipeia stabbed Frey in the stomach.
"Why didn't she use the sand to avoid Frey's headshot?" Julian calmed down after Frey's heavy blows, noticing a detail, "Could it be that her body can't be sandified when she uses this scepter?"
With this guess in mind, Julian rose from the ground and swung the holy sword "Eternal Victory" with his still movable left hand, slashing at Ipeya's neck. Ipeia raised her sword to meet it, and the two swords collided together.
Although the tiger's mouth has been shaken to the ground, the way Ipeia responds further confirms that Julian's guess is correct. He swung the hilt of the holy sword horizontally into his mouth, biting the hilt with his teeth, and at the same time picking up the magic sword on the ground with his foot and catching it with his left hand. With one hand and one hand, the two swords are combined, and the attack is directed at Ipeia.
Although with the blessing of the Valkyrie's soul, Ipeia greatly strengthened her physical fitness, but she has never undergone any martial arts training, and she has no knowledge of swordsmanship, nor has any experience in close-range combat, plus her right hand is controlled by Frey, in the end, Julian used the holy sword that she bit her teeth to block Ipaya's sword, and the magic sword in her left hand took advantage of the weakness to penetrate the flesh of Ipaia from the chest up and below the neck without the protection of the Valkyrie's armor.
"Ahh......h
At this moment, Frey finally reached her limit and let go of her hands.
After succeeding, Julian did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he quickly released his teeth and left hand, dropped his double sword, and held Frey with his left hand. Because of the loss of a lot of water, Frey's body is very light at this time, but the shriveled, hideous, skeleton-like body, and the yellow, cracked skin are so shocking.
"Wahahaha......"
After being injured, Ipeia let out a crazy weird laugh. The sword that Julian stabbed just now, although it did not penetrate deep into the flesh, almost pierced her heart, and it was this slight difference that determined the outcome of this battle of life and death. Julian's failure to stab his opponent in the vital point doomed him to a 1 in 10,000 hope of victory was completely shattered.
The sandstorm raged again with the laughter of Ipeya, and under the support of the wind and sand, the 15 flying swords that were still stuck in the ground rose from the ground, spun along the sandstorm's sandflow to the highest point, and then, like an eagle that had found a rabbit, condescended to Julian and Frey!
At the same time, Julian and Frey built a tall wall of sand around them, completely blocking their escape......
