Chapter 175: Guardian of the Word
No matter what Nui Po's past is, it cannot be a reason for her to kill innocents indiscriminately. Putting aside the so-called good and evil, man acts according to his own will. Maybe Nui Po wasn't wrong, but Aji wasn't wrong with them stopping her.
What matters is who will be the winner in the end.
Byron was so enamored with Nui that he wanted to kill anyone who stood in his way and Nuiva. Bailey and Il's sneaking into the monastery to get the exorcism potion has been discovered by him, and he will not forgive!After leaving the city lord's mansion, he quickly came to the outside of the monastery.
The moment he became a Necromantic Body, Byron's power increased unprecedentedly, and he could control the Necromantic Thing and summon the Necromantic Thing for his own use. He has also been mentored by Nuipo, and his strength has been further improved.
Now he stood high on his necromantic mount, the Necromantic Raven, floating in front of the monastery. The necromantic raven was bubbling with a pitch-black breath, shining white and blue lightning in the darkness. It seems that this necromantic raven is not just a mount, it is also a fierce beast with extremely high combat power.
Bailey uses the space magic device to retrieve all the exorcism potions from the monastery, and asks Pegasus to send them back to General Mag first. And when she and Yi'er went out to the gate of the monastery, they were immediately pressed by the dark aura emitted by the necromantic raven that Byron was riding, and a vomiting depression hit their hearts.
They looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, an indescribable darkness filled the sky over the city of Hamanu, enveloping the entire city. Wisps of black gas floated in the sky, like charcoal ash drifting, and as if countless demonic undead were wandering.
This is not what the human world should be. Bailey was surprised and extremely worried. Unexpectedly, the invading army of the Bhikshu Empire was not wiped out, but it was attacked by this monster. Is this land really cursed, and is the Holy See really abandoning it?
Faced with this situation, Yi'er was also extremely scared. She, a little girl of six or seven years old, could withstand such a gloomy atmosphere. Her body was trembling from the fright, and at the same time, she was also affected by the dark aura, and her body was cold. She gripped Bailey's left hand tightly and didn't let go.
Bailey frowned, she knew she couldn't fight Byron head-on. In her current form, she is no match for Byron, both in terms of momentum and strength.
"Damn you! You're getting in the way of me!" Byron yelled at Bailey, and then waved his hand, and suddenly the necromantic crow spewed out a huge poisonous miasma. The poisonous miasma was more than a hundred times stronger than that in the Rising Sun Valley, and wisps of scorching corrosive aura emanated from everywhere it passed.
The weeds, the wooden stakes of the houses were sprayed, and they were corroded in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
"Wow, woo~~"
When Yi'er saw such a terrible thing, she couldn't help but scream, and then cried.
Bailey pulled her over, protected her tightly, and said, "Yi'er, don't worry, Sister Bailey will definitely protect you." ”
Byron was still annoyed, looked at Bailey and Yi'er coldly, and shouted, "Hmph, protect, there's nothing to protect! Today, you all have to die!"
"You damned humans, always get in the way of me and Nui, always, always!"
"I'm going to kill you all! Then there's no one to stop me from being with Nui, hahaha......"
Byron became frenzied, and constantly ordered the Necro Raven to attack El and Bailey. In addition to spewing strong corrosive gases, the Necro Raven also spits out exploding lightning balls. Bailey jumps with Yi'er to dodge. At this time, the Pegasus is not there, and they have a hard time dodging.
Bailey regrets her decision to let Pegasi leave with the exorcism potion, and without Pegasus there, she has little hope of escaping. She didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person in Hamanu City.
She tried to escape several times by using the method of spatial transformation, but she had to take Yi'er with her, and Byron attacked wildly in the sky above, and she was unable to perform spatial transformation.
The current situation was completely unexpected, and in the face of such a powerful attack, her original escape plan could not be implemented.
Critically, after dodging a few times, she was blown up by the aftermath of an exploding lightning ball. And in order to protect Yi'er, she chooses to push Yi'er away and take all the burst damage herself. After being blown up, her body was numb for a moment, and she couldn't move in time to dodge, and then she was attacked by another trick of the necromantic crow, the red lightning arrow, and was not lightly injured.
But even to this point, Byron did not stop attacking them. He continued to command the Necromantic Raven to breathe corrosive breath and burst lightning balls, plus red lightning arrows.
He was really furious, and even if Bailey and Yi'er were no match for him at all, and there was no room to fight back, he didn't show any mercy.
Bailey has been injured a lot, but she still has to protect Yi'er. She promised Aggie that she couldn't let Yi'er have an accident, and she didn't want Yi'er to have an accident, so she still tried her best to protect Yi'er. And at this time, she had just swept to Yi'er's side, and before she could even apply the spatial superposition shield, a burst lightning ball from the Necromantic Raven attacked her.
Watching the burst lightning ball attack, he was helpless. For the first time, Bailey felt how powerless the fight was. But it's no wonder that she, aside from the reason that she doesn't have much combat experience, facing a behemoth like a necromantic crow, even other people will feel the same hardship.
Even if Edge comes, I'm afraid he will have to passively dodge.
Bailey didn't know how to resist the bursting lightning ball in front of her, protecting Yi'er, planning to use her body to resist.
However, if she was hit by this burst lightning ball, she would inevitably be seriously injured if she did not die.
"Bang!"
"Whoa~~"
The burst lightning ball struck, and Bailey felt a vibration all around her. Without a shield, she closed her eyes tightly, not daring to watch herself being hit. However, to her surprise, the moment she closed her eyes, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.
Feeling the golden light, she suddenly opened her eyes, and suddenly couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
She could see very clearly that a golden shield suddenly appeared on her and Yi'er's body, and the shield protected her and Yi'er tightly. And what's even more amazing is that under this layer of holy light shield, she suddenly felt that the injury she had just received was not so painful, and her whole body seemed to have received advanced healing magic, which was very comfortable.
What's going on?
Bailey didn't understand what was going on and was puzzled.
"What?!"
When she was puzzled, she suddenly exclaimed when she saw Yi'er, full of disbelief.
Yi'er, what's going on?
Looking at Yi'er, ten thousand puzzles arose in her heart. Because the shield of light that protected her and Il's at this time was activated by Il! Il's eyes were tightly closed, and her hands were tightly gripping the cross necklace she was wearing, and the corners of her mouth were whispering, as if a prayer, begging for protection.
And it was because of Il's prayer, and as she whispered, that the mysterious cross continued to flow with holy light. The Light forms a sturdy shield with advanced healing effects.
"Could it be that Eir's cross is a holy artifact?!"
Looking at Yi'er in front of her, and the solid shield of holy light, Bailey couldn't help but guess.
Yi'er's ability to cast such a powerful shield of holy light, especially the shield of holy light with healing effects, must have something to do with the cross necklace she was wearing. So far, the only people who can cast such a shield are the masters of the Holy See. But Yi'er didn't know much magic, let alone cast such a special shield.
In this way, it can only be said that Eir's cross is a holy object.
The Hallows is a type of parasitic weapon with a strong light power. It has one characteristic that it is extremely powerful and also extremely rare. This feature is called "active execution of host commands".
In layman's terms, the Hallows are like servants of those who use them, as if they have living wisdom. Its host can generate that kind of will instead of chanting a spell, and the Hallows can automatically cast that kind of trick. Just as Yi'er just whispered just now, its cross was able to cast its own shield of light.
Yi'er's whispering was not a spell to cast a shield of light, it was just an ordinary prayer. However, because she had a host connection with the cross, and her will was transmitted to the cross, the cross, which was a holy artifact, spontaneously cast a shield of holy light.
Bailey believes her guess is right, and now she knows why Edge tells her to protect Il. Yi'er has such a strong strength, although she is still young now, but in a few years, if she is cultivated, she will be more than just a little girl.
Talent is necessary for the rejuvenation of this land. And to make this land rise again, it cannot be completed in three days and two nights. There is a long way to go, and we must be prepared for the long term.
However, Bailey was a little puzzled, why was Eli not in the Holy See if she had the Hallows, and the tyrannical people of the Holy See would allow anyone other than them to have the Hallows?
The value of the Hallows is immeasurable, and no one will refuse. It is rumored that the reason why the Hallows has the ability to actively carry out the will of the host is because the birth of the Hallows is related to the legendary wisdom elves. The wisdom elves are not ordinary elves on the Western Continent, but are bred by nature's blessings.
Wisdom elves have no physical body and exist in the form of souls. Although they have the power to be blessed by nature, they can only wander alone like souls, with no place to return. They are conscious, but they cannot live like humans. Gradually, they feel lost, lonely, and longing for a place to return. However, most humans do not notice the soul form, so they can't stand the loneliness, and they explode emotionally, invading the human body and venting wantonly.
In order to stop these actions of the wise elves, a number of sages appeared in distant times. The Sages can see the spirit of wisdom in the form of a soul and banish them from the human body. And the saints are very benevolent, and in order to help the lonely wisdom elves, they specially created a batch of holy weapons for the wisdom elves to live in.
It is precisely because of the presence of wisdom elves that the holy weapon is so powerful and has the ability to carry out the will of its master.
Today, the wise elves are long gone. They are only circulated in the Hallows vessel. Therefore, the value of the holy artifact, with the wisdom of the spirit, cannot be judged by the concept of preciousness in the world.
If E'er's cross is really a holy artifact, then it is the [Word of Radiance] among the ten holy weapons. Because among the ten holy vessels, in the form of a cross, there is only the "Word of Radiance".
