In mid-air, the bell bloomed with holy brilliance, turning the grassland shrouded in night into daylight.

Under the light of this light, the movements of the undead demonic beasts froze. They focus their gaze on the direction of the bell, as if listening to it and trying to be redeemed by it, and become motionless.

Then, the pitch-black 'dead air' was expelled from the carrion's body. Let the army of tens of thousands of Warcraft turn back into the original corpses in an instant.

The magic that Mira unleashed, the Reincarnation Bell, is not an offensive technique, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a "ritual". The sacred bell rings to bless the souls of the warriors and allow them to break free from the shackles of the world and run to the other side of the cycle of reincarnation.

Normally, this is a ritual magic performed on a battlefield that has undergone a fierce battle, and after burying the corpses of their companions, it is also disposed of in order to prevent them from turning into undead. I think this ritual will be performed by the 'saints' of the Goddess Sect. Because strictly speaking, this is a type of "divine art".

Rare magic that has no tactical value, and that only a few people can master, and that only works wonders for the undead.

At this time, for Ariz, this is the most vicious attack technique. With just one shot, the advantage on the field was reversed in an instant.

Summoning and dispel seem to be polar effects, but the amount of magic consumed and the difficulty of control between the two are very different.

"Miss Eliza, unleash the Valkyrie Mode!"

"Uh......h Whining...... No...... Don't ...... Sister...... My sister is going to be angry...... Woohoo......"

The maid's anxious voice made the girl's legs weak, and she knelt on the grass, she couldn't help but whimper, and the rabbit doll in her arms also fell, and her two little hands rubbed her tears indiscriminately, and her pupils kept trembling, her situation was not an exhaustion of her magic, but she fell into insanity.

The current Eliza has no ability to resist. However, Hilda is about to face a siege by three powerful knights, and the situation is already desperate.

"Miss Eliza, although I can't remember exactly when, I vaguely remember that you said you hated me......"

Hilda turned her head and looked at the crying girl behind her with gentle eyes, weaving a heartfelt language, "But I like you the most...... All three of you are my treasures, my most beloved 'daughter', so ...... For your sake, no matter how many times I repeat it, even if I can only buy a little time, I will choose the same path as 'then'. ”

The 'then' in the sky of Hilda undoubtedly refers to the night of the bandits' attack. On that day, in order to buy more time for her sisters, Hilda did not hesitate to step forward.

She suffered unimaginable torment and atrocities, but despite this, she did not hesitate or fear at this moment.

"Hilda......

Arieza lifted her face, which was already crying, and her eyes met the maid's, and what greeted her was an incomparably loving smile, and

- The consciousness of dying with one's body.

"You, what are you going to do......"

Before she could finish her words, the maid's posture pounced on the knight of the great sword. It wasn't a surprise attack, nor was it a maneuver to attract attention, she just straightened, simply, shortened the gap between the two.

More accurately, Hilda was closing the gap between herself and her opponent's blade.

There was no movement to attack, and there was no intention of defending, she just opened her chest, the vital point, in front of the knight.

Due to the fierce attack and the darkness of the night, the knight of the greatsword, Wigu, did not notice Hilda's intentions for the first time, and he stabbed the long sword as if in reflex. Then, the frozen blade pierced the maid's delicate body from the front.

"What......!?"

The knight Weigu, who had always been as cold as ice, showed a shocked expression for the first time in the face of this suicidal act. He hurriedly drew his sword and bounced backwards to widen the distance.

A thick cloudy liquid flowed quickly from the maid's pierced wound.

Blood - normal people will judge this way at the first time. It was undoubtedly a fatal wound, and there was no possibility of any rescue.

However, instead of falling, the maid opened her mouth and began to read the inorganic sentences as if she were leaving a last word.

"The damage rate of the body is more than 64 percent, the rib skeleton, the spine, the armed storage tank are damaged, the liquid metal flows out, the fatal danger is broken, and the 'VALKRIA-MODE' is forcibly driven. ”

Then, beyond the knight's imagination, the liquid that had been thought to be "blood" began to flow very irregularly, they defied gravity, "climbed" upward, and condensed into a solid state on the outside of the maid's body, as if the familiar water had condensed into ice.

“Rail-Gun，Set，Active——Fire！”

Among them, a long pole located in the right hand was the fastest to form, and the maid coldly lifted it up and aimed the tip of the long pole at Weigu.

"What's going on......!"

The strangeness in front of him made the knight of the giant sword stunned, he did not realize the danger at the first time, only ...... Flames erupted from the top of the long pole.

"Get out of the way of Wegu, that maid isn't human at all!!"

Mira's shout made Vigu feel excited, and he struggled to twitch his body as fast as he could, and when he came back to his senses, a large piece of the knight's armor on his right arm had been gouged out by an unreadable "something", and even the flesh of his upper arm had been dug deep open.

The speed was so fast that it wasn't until the sight of the wound that the burning pain came too late.

"How powerful!'Holy Spirit Armor' can be ...... so easily!"

Asbel, who had arrived from afar, exclaimed.

But worthy of the name of 'Legendary Blade', as a warrior at the top of the continent, even under such injuries, he did not show any painful expression or let out a sad cry, even if he was surprised, he still acted quickly.

"Yes...... Is it magic......!?"

Wegu lunged to the side, keeping his body away from the angle at which the long stick was aiming.

“Sprint-Missile......”

But in the next moment, he noticed that the maid's whole body was constantly covered by more "objects", and several of the "iron boxes" made a fire-breathing sound, flying away from the maid's side and flying high into the air.

The "iron box" exploded in the sky, blooming with dazzling flowers formed by flames.

It is like a magic cannon salute set off during a celebration, illuminating the night sky in all colors.

Immediately, from the direction of the salute explosion, a lot of steel cones that had been hidden in it were scattered like raindrops.

The steel cone's vast coverage easily encompasses Vegu's running path, and the knight with nowhere to hide can only turn and swing his greatsword in the rain of steel cones, trying to shoot them down before they hit him.

Unexpectedly, the moment the blades touched the steel cones, they caused a violent explosion. The blazing light engulfed the knight's figure.

“Blade——Active......”

Before the flames could dissipate, the maid's right arm turned into a long emerald blade, and she leaped into the flames.

From the smoke and dust that could not be seen, the sound of fierce short-handed ping-pong rang out one after another.

Soon after, in a dull impact, the tall knight flew out of the smoke screen, and judging by his posture, he should have been knocked out by brute force.

The maid's figure did not appear, only a few wails that were torn in the air followed.

It was a noise caused by a projectile that exceeded the speed of sound and was impossible to see, and there was no way to dodge when Wei Gu was in mid-air at this time, and his injured arm didn't have time to swing his greatsword to defend himself.

Once hit, it's fatal –

"Drink, ——!!"

And at the moment when Weigu was in danger, another young knight, Esbel, blocked in front of him at an incredible speed, the long sword at his waist let out a sharp groan, and the [Slashing Light Instant Sword] was once again unsheathed, and the flashing sword trail slashed the projectile of the magnetic track cannon beyond the speed of sound into the air at a faster speed.

- will not let any companion be sacrificed in front of him.

The young knight's eyes were shining with sincerity, as if he was pouring out his unshakable morality.

And that straight and unyielding soul is turning countless sword slashes into a shield to protect his friends.

"I'm the same on this point, Lord Knight, I'm not going to let you touch a single hair of my little master—"

As if reading through the knight's thoughts, Hilda shouted. Then the smoke screen of the explosion cleared, and another set of gun muzzles under the maid's right arm was brewing, and a dangerous flash was brewing.

"Beam complete, fixed axis - Beam-Launchar, Discharge!"

The next moment, the maid's faith condensed into a rushing torrent of light, pouring out in the direction of the two knights.

Bound by pure magic, once hit, it causes matter to begin to decompose at the molecular level, and it is not a powerful bombardment that mortal bodies or conventional materials can withstand, and it is also Hilda's last killer weapon.

Basically, Hilda is a magically crafted puppet other than her brain, and all her actions depend on the magic she receives from Eliezel. And the shelling she is carrying out now will wear out the magic in her body, or her own "vitality".

The enemy is outnumbered, and must seize the opportunity to turn things around, in order to save her young master, this maid has no hesitation about "killing".

However, in the end, the maid did not get what she wanted.

The third man's knight, Mira, who was as beautiful as a fairy but had a solemn expression, blocked the path of the shelling, and she raised her arms as if she were giving orders to "something".

Then, as if it had touched some abrupt obstacle, the torrent of magic radiated along a solid barrier in the shape of an eggshell, towards the side of the three knights.

It's impossible to tell what kind of defense it is, and what its rationale is, but the hard truth is in front of you.

The killer weapon that Hilda poured her soul into didn't work in the slightest.

Once again, a female knight named Mira has shown an incomprehensible ability to adapt to "magic" and "magic", and can come up with a solution just by "seeing" it.

It's not so much a "technique" as it is an innate "instinct". Her perception of magic has obviously surpassed that of the "human" race.

The shelling lasted more than ten seconds, the magic was exhausted, and the light dissipated......

The harsh mana drain, the overload of the skeletal structure, made Hilda unable to move and had to get down on one knee.

"A terrific attack, without the protection of the Holy Throne Elf, I am afraid that it would have severely damaged two of my companions. But your judgment is too reckless, and if you succeed in choosing to use a dangerous move that puts you in a position where you can't move, what will you do against me?"

Mira was unsparing in her words of appreciation, as if she were teaching a fledgling warrior, but she had no intention of showing mercy.

It was only then, at the moment when the victory was set, that Mira drew the knight's sword at her waist for the first time.

"I know, you're not human, that's what the 'elves' told me, I guess it's something like a magic doll, or a necromancy or something, but whatever it is...... Just cut off the head and it's all over. ”

With that, Mira put her words into practice, and she waved her arms diagonally upward.

Her movements stalled before the blade could be dropped, for a little girl was stumbling towards her.

It was Eliza, a pure white dress that had been soaked in mud and we'd probably fallen several times along the way, leaving her knees and elbows covered in bruises.

But despite this, the girl struggled and ran here with all her heart, and finally came to the maid's side.

"Enough, enough! stop bullying my Hilda! I'll go with you, just follow you...... Anyway, I don't have a place to go back anyway!"

I don't know if it was because of the high fever or crying, Alize's face became extremely red, she didn't have the strength to cast any more magic, and at the same time, she also knew that with her physical condition at this time, the half-hanging technique she could perform was not painful for the three people in front of her at all.

"Ellie...... Miss Eliza......"

The maid squeezed out the name of the little master from her mouth as if she were struggling.

"Whether you're 'Edward' or not, I'll take you back to the Imperial Capital, little girl. You don't have a choice from the start. However, this is also what happens after getting rid of 'her'...... There's no guarantee that she'll ever come back to life, so stay out of the way. ”

Without mercy, Mira single-handedly pushed the little girl who stood in her way to the side, and let out a cold and unleashed cold words.

But her sword-wielding right hand was grabbed from behind, and the brown-haired young knight's face was full of indignation, and he reached out to stop the atrocities of his companions.

"Wait, it's too much Mira! We didn't come here to bully a girl and a maid!"

"Ordinary 'little girls' and 'maids' don't have the combat power to compete with the 'Legendary Blade'. ”

"Even so, they don't have the ability to resist now!"

"We are knights of the Empire, and there is no reason to spare dangerous people who may threaten the peace of the Empire. Removing all harm to the empire is our 'mission' as knights. If you understand, please let it go, and I will not hesitate to carry out the 'mission', no matter who the opponent is. Even you, Asbel......"

The female knight's cold and serious words made the young knight show a bitter expression of gnashing teeth.

"So...... How about bringing this lady back to the imperial capital with her, I can vouch for her that her strength is extraordinary, and her weapons are unprecedented. If used wisely, she might be able to serve the Empire. ”

Weigu on the side stopped the bleeding from his shoulder with freezing air, and his heart also couldn't agree with Mira's hasty action. But not with the young and vigorous Asbel, the advice given by Weigu is calm and mature, and it sounds more convincing.

Mira pondered for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

"Okay...... But let me cut off her hands first. Since it's a puppet, this level of damage shouldn't be difficult to repair, otherwise it's ...... to encounter resistance halfway."

- Murderous aura.

Mira's words came to an abrupt halt, a thick killing intent that she had never felt before, as if she had been spied through the darkness by some dangerous beast, giving her the illusion that her blood was frozen.

Asbell and Wegu, of course, were aware of it at the same time and were preoccupied with the surroundings.

Suddenly, Aspel's brow furrowed, and he swung his slashing blade toward the empty meadow.

Ping Pong –

The 'Shadow Blade' and the 'Light Slash' collided - the crisp sound of metal colliding with each other sounded out of thin air, and this sound also made a pitch-black figure appear from the empty space.

Two strands of ponytails fluttered silently in the night wind, and the "Grim Reaper" appeared in front of the young knight without warning.

"You're still the first one who can block my first blow...... Ah, no, if you think about it, it should be the second one. ”

"Huh...... That's really glorious...... I don't know who the first one is?"

Asbell clenched his palm tightly on the hilt of his sword, the only way to stop the trembling of his wrist.

- Fast, unbelievably fast, how did you get to such a speed!?

Asbel is absolutely confident in the speed at which he swings his sword. The sword drawing technique called [Slashing Light Instant Sword] is known as the fastest sword technique on the mainland, and Asbel has been blessed by the 'elves', making the sword speed reach an unprecedented peak.

And just now, he clearly realized that his opponent was going to shoot faster than himself.

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, they don't know what happened in an instant. But once the realm of speed reaches a whole new level, it becomes extremely sensitive to the slightest difference between them.

"The first one, right now above your heads. ”

"What!"

This was no bluff, because as soon as he finished speaking, he could feel a scorching heat coming from above, as if a meteor was roaring from the sky to the ground.

The three knights scattered in a hurry, and the entire ground where they had been standing was blown and dented, and the towering weeds were uprooted by the wind.

In the middle of the crater, which swept through the violent storm, Alice El Cruznier—stood tall with a girl with a lovely face, her short, silky shoulder-length hair fluttering gently.
