(116) Obsession (Water Cloud, VI)

Wei Feng did not pause for a moment, as if he had already foreseen this scene. He let go of the hand that was holding the woman in white, took a deep breath, and stomped his right foot heavily on the ground.

There was a violent tremor under his feet, which almost caused Shui Yun to fall to the ground. The rift burst open from under Yu Feng's feet, rapidly extending in the direction of the two young girls. But the man himself was not affected in the slightest, he stepped forward quickly, his clenched right fist glowed with blue light, and the force was enough to shatter the mountain rocks—

The wings of light spread out from behind Yufie. They swept away the fallen leaves and lifted her into the sky. The blonde girl took a step forward, her wings closing in front of her and meeting Wei Feng's fist.

After a muffled sound, the two of them each took a half step back, seemingly evenly matched.

"It's so strong." Lin retracted her golden wings and flapped them twice, "So it's my turn?" ”

The girl rushed to Wei Feng, and the man had to wave his fist to meet him. Lynn's strength does not match Yuan's size, and her agility is beyond ordinary people. Several sharp stone blades stabbed out from her feet, or stopped in her direction, but they always brushed against her body.

She continued to use her wings to accelerate her dive, and each punch and kick she threw was accompanied by a different low-level spell—many of which were difficult to discern even the water clouds. Bursts of light bloomed between the two, and Wei Feng could only try his best to defend for a while.

It's the first time I've seen this kind of scene: a seemingly weak witch can actually suppress the "Earth King" with melee combat-

"Don't be in a daze!" Wei Feng's shout came, "Think of your people! ”

That's right, she can't fail. She watched as Yu Feng slammed the spell into the ground, summoning two rocky golems. However, the things were too slow to move, and a golden line of fire swept through them, knocking them back to the ground of dirt and rock.

"What they need is not war." Yuffie floated in the air, avoiding the fight between Yu Feng and Rin, and shouted at her, "I don't want you to do that either!" ”

Perhaps...... But it was too late, and there was no way back for her. The problem was that it was difficult to defeat the enemy with spells - both in terms of mastery of magic and the speed at which she could build spells, Suzuyun knew that she was far inferior to the young witch.

Can't give up, she thought. The Lord of the Mists is known to be good at illusions, but beyond that, she has the cards to turn the tide of things.

The water cloud closed his eyes and passed his mind through the distant 'Otherworld' to connect with another powerful being. A huge amount of magic poured into his body, and the sharp stinging pain caused a wave of vertigo. And the next moment, the whole world in front of her—and even herself—completely changed.

The air is no longer transparent, and particles of magic are everywhere in sight, like stardust scattered in the sky. Lin and Wei Feng's movements slowed down, and she could clearly recognize every move of the two of them, and even every spell of the blonde girl.

She hovered in the air, gently swinging her long, crystal-hard body covered in blue scales, trying to swing the claws on her chest. She rarely uses this power, so it takes a few seconds to re-familiarize herself with her current body.

And in an instant, Yuffie disappeared from her eyes.

The blue dragon whispered, and the magic that encircled its body instantly caught the girl's position—just behind her neck. Yuffie was grasping her ice-blue, backward and stretched horn with one hand, and with the other hand she was trying to draw runes that were placed at her sides.

No matter what spell it was, she wasn't going to let the other party get her wish. The cloud of water shook its head like a whip, and even the air exploded. The girl's hand slipped from the horns, and with a soft exclamation, she stumbled into the distance, disappearing beyond the walls of the courtyard.

She didn't go after Yufie, that thing was suitable for Yu Feng to do. The dragon lightly adjusted its stance, curled its body, and aimed its head at Rin, who was fighting the "King of Earth". The magic quickly converged, far beyond the limits of her original control—

A sharp, almost invisible ray of light shot out from the tip of the horn and stabbed the girl in the right shoulder with unmistakable precision. She didn't want to kill, Shui Yun thought to herself, at least not the two of them.

Lynn didn't dodge, but she didn't hit either.

The white light gate unfolded out of thin air, blocking the center of the two. The light sliced through Yufie's side, taking a small piece of clothing and flesh with it, before disappearing through the door.

"It's not too late!" The girl shouted at her, "Sora and Boyan won't punish you, they already know——! ”

The water cloud shook off its long tail and lowered its head like a meteor stabbing at Yuffe. However, the other party did not dodge or dodge, but just raised his face to look at her, and whispered something.

There's no time to think about it. The sharp horns were only a few centimeters from the girl's chest, but they were blocked by a transparent, formless, and soft barrier. The barrier shattered instantly, but absorbed most of the impact, slowing her down.

At the same time, Yuffie lunged forward, his hands outstretched, just against her neck. The magic condensed into a glimmering rope that swirled and coiled like life, binding the two into one.

"Got you." The pink girl whispered.

Damn——!

Shui Yun immediately understood that he had been fooled. The other party created the illusion that neither the spell nor the 'dragon's breath' would work, forcing her to take the initiative to take melee combat. She couldn't control it anymore, and with a whisper that resounded through the sky, a dazzling blue flame bloomed around her long blue body, enveloping everything around her—

Including air, everything freezes instantly. The crunch of glass shattering followed, and a poplar treetop was swept by the flames, and in an instant it turned into powder. The chill hit the ground, and a team of ants escaped from the ground cracking and the sky collapsed, but the whole army was wiped out because of the sudden winter.

But it's still not enough.

Although it is much weaker, the breath of life of the girl behind it is still there. Shui Yun didn't know how she survived, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or afraid. The blow had taken a lot of her strength, and it was impossible to do it again right away. The rope tied the two together, and it was futile to try to throw the girl off.

She gritted her teeth and rushed straight to the courtyard wall, intending to throw Yuffie with herself. However, a moment's hesitation was enough to change the situation.

The silver-white runes that surrounded her flickered in unison, and the light crawled like a spider's web, banishing the power from the 'otherworld'. The blue dragon vanished, and after a slight dizziness, the clouds floated in the air, reclaiming the perception of their original body.

She looked down. Yuffie lay on her side at the foot of the wall, gasping for breath, trying to get up. Half of the final 'attack' was effective, and the previous injuries and the consumption of spells were enough to make the girl temporarily unable to fight back.

Although it was a fraction of a second, the outcome was decided. Shui Yun said sorry in his heart, sealed his hands, and began to cast a swift and deadly spell.

Then she heard another voice.

"Grace—" a clear cry came from not far away, "bite her!" ”

A translucent circular door opened above her head, and a massive golden-black bird of prey roared into battle. It let out a high-pitched hiss, flapping its wings and swooping down, its beak striking her chest.

Shui Yun instinctively threw an unfinished spell, scorching only a few feathers. She struck out the spell as fast as she could in her life, turning her body into a mist that the griffon could pass through.

The opportunity is fleeting, and the first move has changed hands. And this time, she no longer has the means to turn the tables.

The pink girl propped herself up and stretched her fingers forward. The cold wind quickly rolled up, with a faint wail. Shuiyun recognized this spell, and not long ago, she had planned to use it to destroy the 'illusion'-

Now the goal is herself.

The storm howled, crushing the magic that held the mist together, but not completely blowing away her body. She fell weakly to the ground, the silver-white runes that followed, robbing her of what was left of her ability to resist.

Shui Yun was suddenly a little relieved.

She did her best, and then completely lost to the other party. Maybe the "leader" will be very disappointed, maybe Daqi will inevitably become history, but for some reason, while regretting and guilty, she actually feels a little lighter.

The development of events has nothing to do with her, and it seems that it is equally unimportant who the ultimate winner is. If you can see your "relatives" at the end, you will be lucky enough.

In her sight, the shadow beneath her swayed out of thin air, and then regained its composure.

The battle on the other side quickly split up - it ended in the defeat of Wei Feng. He was deprived of his mobility by the spell, and was held by Lin Heng and placed beside her. Yuffie straightened her hair and clothes and walked up to the two of them. She whispered a few words, allowing Shui Yun to regain control of her head and tongue.

"Someone wants to see you." She repeated the original words, "Wait a minute, okay?" ”

Wei Feng was silent. The woman in white looked at Yufie, and there was no disgust or ridicule in the girl's eyes, but rather a sigh of relief.

Shui Yun lowered his head again, ready to give an answer. Then she saw a streak of blackness leave her shadow and go straight to the feet of the girl opposite.

She understood what it was in an instant, and instinctively opened her mouth without thinking at all.

"Be careful——!

The words were still too slow, and so were the girl's movements. But what else, faster than that black death.

A very thin, clear emerald green light came from nowhere, streaked across her eyes, and sank into the dirt between the two of them. There was a terrible scream from the ground, and the black shadow suddenly bulged, turning into a black humanoid form, staggering to the side.

Then a second ray of light flashed. This time the cloud could be seen clearly, it originated from the sky, crossed the courtyard wall, pierced the chest of the black-clad human, and then dissipated not far away.

The "Shadow King" took two more steps, fell to his knees, and lost his life for no apparent reason.

Shui Yun's mind went blank.

She couldn't help but wonder if she and Yu Feng hadn't been brought here, or if they had just killed Yufie, would what awaited them be the same fate as in the moment?

"That's ...... What? She muttered under her breath and looked up to see the pink girl smile in relief.

"It's the one who brings peace to this continent." Yuffie reassured, "He's back." ”
