Chapter 116: Rituals
The figures in a circle gradually became clear, and Fern caught up with his companion with Ness on his back, and several balls of light floated in the air in all directions, illuminating the small ruin. Adeline was holding the staff, and the rest of the people were standing behind her, and in front of them was Hysuein.
"I was surprised that you found this place. "Adeline's appearance was a surprise to Hayshin, but the demon was not panicked. "But you can't do anything, Adeline, it's getting dark, and the Lord of Darkness is about to reign over Wallis. ”
"Dream, Hayshuin!" Adeline replied sternly, and a golden beam of light shot out from the top of Karabonia, quickly crashing into Hayshuin, the beam was blocked by something a few yards away from the demon, and dissipated in all directions along the arc with a thud.
Hehu leaned back triumphantly. "Look, Adeline, these demon mages have set up shields under the power of the Dark Lord, and now that they are leading the ritual, I will not stop you if you want to leave now. ”
"I need your help!" Adeline raised her staff in the air, a golden glow forming at the tip of the staff, and the beep of magic entered everyone's ears. Both Hessey and Black Ward reached out to the staff, and the golden light became more dazzling, revealing red ripples in the middle. Rui and Nerfi joined in, the golden light continuing to grow in size, a black mist tumbling through it. Jasmina held out her hands to the light, a wave of magic blowing her long hair and skirt. A green ray of light shot out of Nigel's palm and joined in. The light at the tip of the staff eventually turned into a large ball of light that was mainly golden, with other colors mixed in. Adeline chanted a spell quickly, swinging Caraponia forward with all her might, and the ball of light whistled towards Seashoe.
Wherever the ball of light went, the huge shock wave that it stirred up blew away all the ruins in its path, and Hai Xiuyin also felt a huge pressure and subconsciously dodged to the side. The ball of light slammed into the shield, and the dazzling light from the explosion illuminated the sky as if it were day. A black crack appeared at the point of impact, and quickly spread out in all directions, the entire shield collapsed, and the ball of light continued to rush forward with the remaining strength, slamming into the center of the demon, knocking them away.
"Did it work?" Stan took a few steps forward, looking warily ahead.
The light faded, everything fell into darkness again, and the demons who were shocked slowly stood up one by one, returned to their original positions, and continued to guide the ritual, but their movements were more stiff than before.
"What's going on!?" Nerfi looked at the scene in front of him in shock. "That kind of powerful light magic, let alone a demon, even a black dragon can easily destroy it, why are those demon mages okay?"
"No, they're dead. Adeline's chest heaved violently, and the magic just now consumed a lot of her mental energy. "The light magic just now has killed them, it must be the Dark Lord who manipulated their corpses and let them continue to cast spells. ”
Black Ward looked at his enemy worriedly. "The Dark Lord's touch on this world has reached this point, can't he really stop him?"
Stan raises his sword. "Instead of marveling here like you guys, it's better to rush over and fight once. With that, Stan strode forward.
At some point, Heyshuin returned to the crowd, standing in front of Stan, smiling gloomily. "Don't worry, knight, I've got a suitable opponent for you. Behind Haysuein, two figures wrapped in armor slowly appeared, each holding a long sword with a white light as the blade.
"Ethereals!" Stan slowly backs away, remembering the two Ethereals he had encountered at Magnus Fortress.
Adeline glanced up at the sky, then gave a quick order. "Stan, Fern, you each hold a Ethereal, and the other mages assist them, they can't deal with the Ethereal Eldron alone, Bared, you come with me. ”
Fern looked at Ness worriedly, and Morena crouched down beside Ness, looking at the mercenary encouragingly. "Nessy leave it to me. ”
Fern nodded gratefully, walked towards the ethereal spirit, and slowly drew the sword in the stone with his right hand, and with the sound of the blade cutting across the scabbard, a cold light flashed.
Stan and Fern stood in front of the two ethereals, and behind them, five mages, shouted for killing, followed by the sound of magic slicing through the air. Adeline and Barred ignored the fights and walked past the Ethereal to Hysuiin. "Get out of the way, Haysuein!" Adeline's voice was full of majesty.
"Then it depends on whether you have what you can do. Heshuin raised the sword in the stone, and Barred didn't say a word, but rushed forward with the sword in both hands.
The two former comrades-in-arms tore together, you come and go, the two have similar swordsmanship levels, and they can't tell the winner for a while. However, due to the acceptance of the power of the Dark Lord and the transformation into a demon, Hayhuine has a greater advantage in strength and endurance, and Bared's strength is already excellent among humans, but he still has the upper hand in the process of fighting with Hayxiuin, and has to use speed and fast pace movement to regain the disadvantage. Both of their swords struck each other several times in the confusion, Bared's coat was already stained red, and the sting of the wound made it harder and harder for him to concentrate, while Haysouin was not much impressed because he was much less sensitive to pain, and the form gradually became unfavorable to Bared.
Adeline had no intention of helping Bared, but continued past the two of them towards the center of the ritual, where the besieging demon mages were located, and there was no doubt that in the center of them must be the Holy Seal.
Hayshoun swung his sword and forced his opponent back several steps, but Barred was already showing fatigue, and he stumbled and almost fell, and Hayhue took advantage of the momentum to kick him several yards out of the way, and then immediately turned around and chased after the Great Sage. "Stop, Adeline!"
Adeline ignored him, but stopped behind the demon mage, raised her staff and began to cast a spell, Hyshuin's sword slashed at the back of the sage's head, and Bared fell to one knee and shouted, running forward with all his might. A fireball flew backwards from the tip of the staff, and Haysea couldn't dodge it, so he had to use the sword in the stone to resist, the fireball was cut in half, and the huge impact knocked Hayxiuin back to its original position, he raised his steps again, and Barred had already run back and blocked in front of him.
Annoyed, Hayhue yelled and threw himself at Bared, who was at the end of his crossbow, and his only purpose was to hold Hayhuin back and buy time for Adeline. On the other side, the battle was even more intense, and Fern and Stan's swordsmanship had made great progress, and although they were still at a disadvantage in the battle with the Ethereals, they were not overwhelmingly disadvantaged, and with the help of the mages, the Ethereals could not take any advantage, and both sides were in a stalemate.
A beep came from the center of the ceremony, and a golden shadow appeared behind Adeline, and the white god was summoned again, and the image of Heimdall, the golden god of light, raised his hands, and the golden light enveloped all the demon mages, and the demon mages twitched in the light. Although they are dead, they are still guiding spells under the control of the Dark Lord, but under the attack of the White God, the Dark Lord's control over them has also been weakened, and one by one they fall to the ground like puppets with broken strings.
"What did you do! Adeline!" Seeing that the ritual that was about to succeed was now on the verge of failure, and that he didn't care about Bared, who was already struggling under his sword, he hurriedly ran towards Adeline.
The light of the god of light lit up the sky, and Hesius couldn't run any further when he was only a few yards away, the light magic burning him and him to his knees, howling in pain. Supporting his scarred body, Barred dragged his sword and walked slowly, his golden light barely opening his eyes.
The Ethereal Spirits sensed something was wrong, and they stopped their grappling with their opponents and slowly stepped back. Stan covers his forehead with one hand and squints at the spectacular scene ahead. "Did Adeline succeed?"
"It seems that yes, fortunately she is fast enough, if the dark lord is released, even if the white god is present, it may not be his opponent, not to mention that Adeline's light magic is only with the power of the white god. Nellfi's eyes widened, and as a light mage, she was amazed by the strength of Adeline's mana.
Black Ward still frowned. "No, if that's the case, why do I still feel sick, that feeling of being polluted? ”
When Black Ward said this, Nellfi found herself feeling the same way. "It is true that I was negligent for a moment, and this feeling has hardly diminished compared to when we first arrived, but on the contrary seems to have increased. ”
"What do you mean?" Fern still maintained a fighting stance, the battle with the Ethereal Spirit that had completely immersed him.
Black Ward was just about to answer, but at this moment, the light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the balls of light floating in all four directions also disappeared together, and the earth fell into darkness again.
