Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sword of Light and Water
"Brush!" A seemingly ordinary sword, without earth-shattering magic tides, or even making much noise, Ulysses just slashed accurately at the black line he had created.
Then, all the huge peaks that stood in his way were cut off neatly, as simple as white paper cut by a paper cutter.
"Boom, boom!" was faster than it had been created, and all the peaks fell together, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"What!!!" Hydra's eyes fell out of the eyes of the Serpent of Rites, and as the direct creator of those giant peaks, she had lost all contact with them in an instant.
It's as if all the peaks she created were "dead" in that sword. It was clearly in the paradise of this land, the absolute home of the ritual serpents, but she lost contact with them.
The power of the earth that created them was completely destroyed by the power contained in Ulysses's sword, leaving no trace.
That's the power of "death".
"No matter, keep chasing!" Although startled by the direct death of the sword, Hydra would not give up chasing his lover.
"Don't give up, don't give up, be together no matter what!" This is the law of love recognized by the Lady of Warcraft, the greatest expression of love. After Ulysses captured his heart, Hydra couldn't do without him.
Because of love, it is even more necessary to catch up, how can you let go!
It is not an illusion, the more this love burns, the hotter this high mood, and the greater the power that fills the body.
Ah, it must be the ancestors of the ancestors, the mother's mother's mother's care for her, the aid of love.
Ulysses, don't try to escape!
On the other side, Ulysses was indeed frightened by Hydra's enthusiasm, and after cutting all the blocked peaks with a single sword, he only glanced behind him, and ran away with Sissi without a trace.
Because, he saw, in his strongest state, saw the "death" of the sacrificial serpent, and understood its current state.
However, that state is the current state that he can't solve no matter what, to be precise, he can't kill even if he wants to.
It's not that Lara and Valak "can't see", but when the "death" of the sacrificial snake is really seen by Ulysses, it makes him even more helpless.
Because the concept of "death" actually extends to the whole land, not only the northern mountains, but all the way to the end of the land that Ulysses sees from the sky.
The "death" of the Serpent of Sacrifice is equal to the death of the entire earth beneath its body. If he wants to kill it, he must connect the black threads he has created to all the land, and then destroy it.
This kind of thing, he can't even think about it now, it completely exceeds his limit, I'm afraid that only the attack ability of Binghuang's mother can sentence all the land in this range to death, and he can't do it.
In other words, no matter how he attacks now, the damage to the Ritual Serpent is zero, and the Ritual Serpent that is connected to the earth is now an existence that he cannot kill at all.
It wasn't as simple as Hydra's nine immortal cores, but an absolute immortal body that was truly connected to the entire land. As long as the land remains, the Serpent of Sacrifice has no concept of death.
This is already a concept like a true god, and the god of the earth seems to be what Ulysses imagined to be.
How could such a great existence chase himself for Sissi, Ulysses was puzzled.
However, there is no time to think, and the duration of the "comfortable puppet" is quite short.
So, take Sissi and run. Only when the Serpent of Ritual successfully escapes with Sissi in front of the Serpent of Sacrifice will the rest of the team be truly safe, otherwise I don't know what will happen.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!" Seeing that Ulysses and Sisi had disappeared from his field of vision, the Serpent of Ritual was really angry.
From the pulse of the earth, you can still vaguely perceive the direction of the other party's popularity, but you can't catch up with it if you go on like this. After all, the body of this ritual snake is so huge that even if it can manipulate the power of the earth, it is too difficult for a strong person to chase an ultra-high-speed flying individual like Ulysses.
So, give it a try, and use the power of the earth at a higher level.
Instead of chasing, but moving directly to the past, the body of this ritual snake was originally just a projection, and theoretically, as long as it is the place where the leylines continue to pass past, the body of this ritual snake can be directly reached.
This is the ability of the "Earth Serpent", the Lord of the Earth, the talent of one of the world's first twin snakes. Although it is not as good as the "Sky Serpent", which ignores any environment and can be reached instantly wherever it wants, as long as it is on the earth, there is no place that the Earth Serpent cannot reach.
As a descendant of the Earth Serpent, Hydra had indeed summoned similar projections before, but the use of this high-level ability had never been completed. The body of the Ritual Serpent was not her own after all, and it was difficult to use it just by moving it.
However, now she feels that she can do it, as long as it is where she wants to go, as long as it is where this land continues, she can go, she can move there in an instant.
I don't know where this confidence comes from, but there is only one thing that is certain, that is, she will catch up, chase her lover, and chase her wherever she is.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh!" the earth trembled, and the body of the ritual serpent glowed with a fiery light, as if it were about to merge with the earth.
............ "Almost, it's time for us to make a move." High in the sky, another pair watched as the Ritual Serpent erupted on the ground with even greater power.
Lana, who wields the pale blue magic sword, and Yufi, who holds the Light Sacred Book, have been watching from the beginning of the battle.
Their original intent was to hinder the interaction between Ulysses and Sissi, but after the appearance of the Serpent of the Rites, a powerful spoiler, the fear of Ulysses quickly outweighed the jealousy that was already a joke and turned into worry.
"Let's get started. Yuffie held up the Light Tome in one hand and pointed to the sky with the other.
"I'm really not used to high places. Lana, who had an extra pair of transparent wings on her back, shrugged her shoulders and disappeared into Yufie's side.
There is no need for too many words, the two who have been fighting side by side for a long time have the best tacit understanding, and they are the best partners in that era when the three of them are still together.
Jesus said to the people, "Do not be afraid, but stand still! The Lord will stand behind you and show His authority! Look at the miracle that the Lord is about to perform to you today." "The steps of the Lord echo above the earth, and the sky and the sea are only shadows of the Lord. The red sea will flood the earth!"
"Wow!" At the feet of Hydra, who was preparing for the leyline teleportation technique, the entire land turned into an endless sea of red. There was no warning at all, as if the ocean had existed on the earth.
"What!" Halfway teleportation was interrupted, and Hydra felt the urge to kill. The Serpent's massive body responded to Hydra's anger and suddenly raised its head, looking into the distant sky.
"The will of the Lord shall not be disobeyed, and by raising your head, you may see the incarnation of the will of the Lord. The clouds in the sky are the mercy of the Lord. During the day, the Lord will take the form of a pillar of clouds to let you walk in the shade, and at night, he will become a pillar of fire to light your path and protect you from wild beasts. The clouds and the flames are the signs of the Lord's presence with you!" Yuphie's chanting continued, the language of prayer to God, the language of channeling God's power to the earth.
The pure white light danced and danced merrily around Yufy's side, forming a white cloud. In the middle of the clouds, the sacred flame burned, but it did not emit a trace of warmth.
"Lift up your staff and stretch it out to the sea, and the Lord says, the waters will part!" Faintly, the shadow of a wooden staff appeared in Yuphie's hand.
It was just an ordinary wooden staff that could be found everywhere. But the sea pointed by this wooden staff was forcibly separated, forming two overwhelming walls of the sea.
"Magic!" Hydra could feel that the seawater was not illusory, but real, and that they briefly cut off her from the earth, and completely enveloped the massive body of the Ritual Serpent.
"The Lord says, The sea will be reunited, and it will drown all the unrespectful!
"Whoa!" As if the great flood of the world had come, the two walls of water made of endless sea water had collapsed, and the body of the ritual serpent had been completely buried in the huge Red Sea.
Such a large range of spells is not recorded in any magical book, because it does not belong to the human world. This sea that instantly covered the mountains and swallowed even the huge body of the Serpent of Sacrifice came from divine punishment, the power of the supreme god.
This is one of the few transcendent divine techniques in Yufie's hands that has been preserved intact, and the divine magic used against the realm - the punishment of dividing the sea.
The unimaginably large body of the Ritual Serpent happened to be completely restrained by this Realm Divine Technique. This is a divine technique that is more powerful and the larger the body of the target, the more powerful it will be.
Not bound by common sense, the power of being like a god, even the power of the "Earth Serpent" will be drowned, this is the terrifying power of the Holy Book of Light, the power of the god-level treasure.
Although the Holy Book of Light, which exercises the will of the gods, is limited by the magic of the initiator, it can often exert unimaginable power once the divine magic written on it is successful.
Among the divine punishment techniques recorded in the Holy Book of Light, the Punishment of the Sea is ranked tenth, but it is only for special objects such as the Ritual Serpent, and this magic is more effective than the first ones.
Directly summoning the ocean to drown everything, a simple and effective tactic, but it is a tactic that even the vast majority of ninth-level powerhouses cannot perform, because it violates many normal laws.
And this is the power of the legendary Light Tome, which goes beyond magic and directly exercises the power of "miracles".
Unable to understand, unable to analyze, this power is simply not within the scope of common sense. Normal magic simply can't have the attribute of "opposite" like this.
This kind of power that submerges the entire land is closer to a "natural disaster" than a "technique" used in battle.
However, this is not the end, because of the improvement of his physical condition, Yuffie can now use more powerful attack magic than in the past, and the combination of divine punishment continues.
The Lord announced that the seven seals would be opened by the Lamb with seven eyes and seven horns. At that time, seven messengers will come and sound seven trumpets. β
Crimson hail fell from the sky with flames, and the crimson sea churned violently and began to fluctuate unnaturally, like a scene before the end of the world.
"Boom, boom!" Each crimson hail fell, a column of water burst out of the ocean, and in the red water, the huge body of the ritual serpent was constantly struggling.
The connection to the earth was stripped away by Yuphe's unbound magical barrier, and it was the most significant loss that the Serpent of Ritual had suffered.
Jesus said to the people, "Do not be afraid, but stand still! The Lord will stand behind you and show His authority! Look at the miracle that the Lord is about to perform to you today." "The steps of the Lord echo above the earth, and the sky and the sea are only shadows of the Lord. The red sea will flood the earth. β
"The Lord told the beasts of the sea that if they ate all the sinful people, they could be saved. β
In the crimson sea, a huge shadow appeared, and the seven giants that could be faintly seen had seven crowns and ten horns. Huge bodies are hidden beneath the surface of the sea. It's a bit like a dragon, and its scales are the same dark red color as this ocean.
"What are you kidding, this kind of thing deserves it!" Hydra was furious, and her massive body lifted straight out of the red sea, and then wrapped up in the shadow of the vague beast.
I don't know why, when she saw this thing, she instinctively felt unhappy when she turned into a ritual snake, and then attacked it.
"Quack, quack!" was just a shadow of the beast's body with a continuous crunching sound, and then countless meteorites and lightning fell from the sky, slashing at the body of the ritual serpent.
However, these attacks did not do anything for the Serpent of Rites, only to increase its rage, and its huge body wrapped around the illusory shadow of the beast, and then contracted little by little.
"Quack, quack, quack!" The continuous crunching sound was accompanied by more flames and thunderbolts, but none of them could save the life of the illusory beast, and finally under the death strangulation of the ritual serpent, the phantom beast was reduced to pieces of stumps, scattered in the red sea.
From beginning to end, it had not even been able to piece together a complete shape, and it had already been poisoned by the Serpent of Sacrifice.
Yuffie sighed, and the little white wings behind him flapped helplessly.
The follow-up punishment of the Punishment of the Sea, the combo that summoned a mythical beast in the legend to launch a powerful attack on the opponent failed.
This is also a matter of course, because the pages of the light magic book that recorded them have long since disappeared into the corner of nowhere. Even the hundreds of years of painstaking search by the Church of the Most High God have only recovered a few fragmented pages, and most of them are still incomplete.
In the heyday of the Holy Book of Light, it was a supreme treasure that could be activated even by a tenth-level divine art, but now the book in her hand was too mutilated, and the Punishment of the Sea and the Divine Descent were almost the two strongest spells recorded above.
It was impossible for her to launch the Divine Descent Technique alone, and the follow-up Divine Technique of the Punishment of the Sea Splitting was obviously not possible, otherwise the summoned Red Sea Beast would not have been able to be defeated by the Ritual Serpent so easily.
However, you can't give up yet, the battle is not over yet!
"Oh!" Hydra wouldn't let go of anyone who had disturbed his pursuit of Ulysses.
Although she thinks Yuffie in the sky seems to be a little familiar, she doesn't care so much!
Although it can no longer wield the infinite power of the earth, the body of the Serpent of Sacrifice is made of unimaginably large amounts of earth power, and Hydra has no shortage of fighting strength.
"Boom!" a scale from the Serpent's body spontaneously detached and shot towards Yuphie in the air. It was a small scale for the Ritual Serpent, but for Yuffie, it was a huge murder weapon of more than ten meters.
"The will of the Lord came down to this place to form a shield against all things, a wall to guard all things, under the will of God. All calamities, curses, deaths, despairs, will stop in front of this wall, unfold, radiant holy wall!"
A wall of divine light appeared in the sky, a wall of light that could block all calamity, malice, curses, and all the forces that could harm life. The sacred mark of the cross represents the absolute protection.
"Smack!" The scales shot out by the ritual snake were completely defended by this wall of light, and the power of "defense and protection", the greatest feature of the divine art, was vividly reflected at this moment.
Even with the power of the Earth Serpent, it would not be easy to break through this wall of light.
What's more, Yuffie is not fighting alone.
"I don't like it much, so I have to use this!" Lana, who was a little unaccustomed to the heights, held up her right hand in a higher position than Yufi, and in her hands were two swords mixed together.
One of them was clear and transparent, exuding a gentle aura, which was the breath of the Sword of Water, the source of life.
The other light was dazzling, echoing with Yuphe's power breath, emitting a scorching halo, which was partly guided by Yuphe's Light Sacred Scripture and born at this momentβthe Divine Sword.
When the two swords intertwined, the result was a translucent sword inscribed with intricate runes.
"Next, Serpent of Sacrifice. Lana excitedly shot the sword in her hand directly into the sea.
One into two, two into four, four into eight, and soon, the sword that originally had only one split into countless in the air, falling into the churning sea of red like a meteor.
"Boom!Boom!!!" As soon as these swords were stained with the sea water, they immediately turned red and began to grow rapidly.
One meter, two meters, three meters, four meters...... Like plants sprouting in spring, these swords grew at an extraordinary speed under the nurturing of the waters of the Red Sea, soaked in the breath of the corpse of the beast of the Red Sea that had died prematurely.
Twenty meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters! Hydra had a bad premonition when thousands of these red swords appeared in the ocean.
"We listen to God's voice and take God's voice as our ......revelation," Yuffie began to pray, turning the pages of the Holy Book of Light in his hand until he finally stopped at one page.
God's punishment never comes without reason for us to repent of the sins we have committed. People will always make all kinds of mistakes, and for this we accept the punishment that we deserve. β
"Sword of Light, seal our restless hearts. β
"The red waters lead us to the resting place. β
This is not a simple divine art, but a composite divine magic that Yuffie can only activate if Lana is also there, fusing the power of light and water together, and finally taking on the color of ancient mythology.
The red sword of the sea is the perfect fusion of the power of light and water.
Thousands of swords of the Red Sea glowed softly together at this moment, locking the huge body of the Ritual Serpent.
"What!" For the first time since receiving the body of the Ritual Serpent, Hydra felt bound.
It's so heavy, and the body can't move freely, which is the feeling of "water".
Unlike the "power of the earth", the "power of water" looks very light and free, but in fact it is not light at all. When this power is connected to this sea of red, even the body as powerful as the Ritual Serpent can no longer move easily.
This principle is the same as the power of the ritual serpent to connect to the earth, and these water swords use the power of light as a medium to connect the entire Red Sea. The Serpent of Ritual had to fight not just one or two swords, but an entire ocean connected by these swords.
The Serpent of Ritual can be suppressed in such a way, and only the alliance of Yuphie and Lana, who hold the Holy Book of Light and can launch the punishment of the sea, can do it, and even Ulysses can't do it.
However, this kind of suppression is by no means easy, whether it is Yufe who casts the punishment of dividing the sea, or Lana, who can freely make the sword of water, they are all unique. There is hardly any such pair other than them who can create such a miracle.
"Don't think this will stop me!" Despite the fact that his body was suppressed by the power of the entire ocean, Hydra did not have the slightest fear.
She has absolute confidence in the power of the ritual snake and the power of her mother's mother.
Even if it was a whole ocean that pressed her, she would definitely be able to break free of it!
All she needed to do was push hard.
Absolutely, you can't lose!
"Smack!" As the Serpent of Ritual struggled with all its might, one of the swords of the Red Sea shattered and turned back into seawater.
There are one and two, and soon, more swords showed signs of instability, these hundred-meter-long giant swords were created by the perfect fusion of Lana and Yufi's strength, and they were all fantasy swords that represented the flexibility of water, even if they encountered an attack of more than 10,000 tons, they would not show the slightest scar.
However, under the counterattack of the ritual serpent, these water swords collapsed one by one.
If the teaming up of Yuffie and Lana represents perfect skill, unparalleled understanding, then the ritual serpent incarnated by Hydra represents absolute power to shatter everything.
The serpent of sacrifice born from the majestic mountains represents the infinite earth, the unshakable absolute power.
"Hey, hey, it's not a joke. "Lana has never seen such a violent serpent, you must know that it is against the whole ocean!
The ocean summoned from Yuffie's Sacred Book of Light is not an illusion, but a real sea with the power of divine punishment.
Where the sea came from, why it could be summoned and sent back, the principle is not understood, just as the magicians could not figure out how magic could make bread - it was not an element, but a real food.
Being able to fight against the Red Sea Sword Lock that she and Yuffie jointly cast means that this ritual snake is enough to turn the entire ocean over, a kind of power that Lana never thought of.
Not the wisdom of magic or divine art, the Serpent of Sacrifice relied on pure power, and the brute force that erupted from its huge body shook the entire ocean.
This means that in the real world, this ritual snake can turn an entire ocean over with the strength of its own body. Anyway, it's too powerful.
"Lana, go on. "It's also the first time that Yuffie has seen an opponent with such power, not magic or magic, a giant beast that can throw the ocean with his own body.
However, in order to protect their lovers, they will continue to fight even if the opponent is such a monster.
Like the unreasonable brute force of the other party, love does not need to be reasonable. This is something that Yuffie has only recently really understood.
"It's funny, it's been a long time since I've encountered an enemy of this magnitude. Lana flew higher into the air, and in her hands, another set of swords of light and water began to appear.
"Listen to me, O God!" Yuffie prayed again, and the divine light gathered behind her, turning into a beautiful aura.
The pair of snow-white wings trembled softly in this aura, drawing a circle of white light lines.
"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless!" Hydra shouted arrogantly, for she had already felt, felt the power of the earth that had lost contact for a short time.
That's right, it's back! Even the blockade of this magical enchantment can't really block the power of the Earth Serpent. How could the true power of the Ritual Serpent be truly blocked by such a level of power.
If it weren't for the time it took to find Hydra's breath, the land would have been connected to the body of the Serpent of Rites, and it wouldn't have taken so much time.
Then, countless sword rains fell, and the Red Sea Sword, which was twice as large as before, stood in the middle of the ocean, completely locking the huge body of the Ritual Serpent from all angles.
The power of the entire ocean weighed down on the sacrificial serpent. It was not as simple as the tens of thousands of tons of pure water sword that Mina used, but a huge force that weighed me many times and represented the power of a sea.
This time, however, the power of the sea could no longer stop the Serpent of the Rite from rioting.
"Oh-oh-oh!" Hydra lifted the body of the Ritual Serpent and let out an incredibly loud roar into the sky, as if he had first been in sync with the Serpent of Rites.
A huge wind pressure blew on the wall of light in front of Yufie, blowing the wall higher along with Yufie.
"Hey!" Lana grabbed the unbalanced Yuphie in time, and then swung a sword of the wind, temporarily creating another wall to block the opponent's wind attack.
And this was not even Hydra's real attack, she only instinctively shouted after feeling the power of the earth return.
"No, the barrier has been broken by outside forces. Yufy's face was a little pale.
When the Punishment of the Sea Splits is cast, the Light Tome will automatically open a large area of divine enchantment, so that this move will not affect the real world. This enchantment is protected by the power of space, and although it is not as magical as the inherent enchantment, it should also be able to create a special independent space in a short period of time.
However, now, the divine enchantment activated by the Holy Book of Light has been forcibly broken through by external forces, and the power of the breakthrough carries an incomparably thick earthly breath, which is undoubtedly the breath of the sacrificial snake.
Is the ritual serpent, a monster that has not been written in human books, so powerful? It's like the power of a god.
Faster, faster!Although it was suppressed by Yuffie and Lana together, it was a trivial matter for Hydra, and the whereabouts of "Shakibas" and Ulysses were the focus.
Revenge is precious, but love is even more valuable, and in the eyes of the disciplined lady Hydra, there is no more important goal than her lover.
And the power of the earth that returned to her body also seemed to recognize her values, not only quickly replenishing all the power she had consumed, but also actively sending more energy to her.
South, South, quick, quick!Hydra anxiously searched for Ulysses' whereabouts.
Although the power of the ritual serpent can be extended as long as there is a place where the earth is there, once it reaches a place like a human gathering place, the accuracy of positioning will be greatly reduced due to the interference of various breaths.
The more you go to the big city, the more difficult it is to find the person you are looking for, and if the other party deliberately hides their aura, it will be even more troublesome. Her control over the body of the Ritual Serpent was not strong enough to search for a specific target in the crowd.
As for using the body of the Ritual Serpent to rush directly into the city, this is obviously not okay either. As the lord of the Carral Mountains, she has participated in many wars with the Cult of the Supreme God, and she will not do such boring things.
After a painstaking search, Hydra finally found Ulysses, no, it should be said that the smell of "Shakibas", that unique taste, once you feel it, you will never forget it.
Leyline Teleportation, start again!Hydra raised her head and looked at the two people in the way in the depths of the sky, if it weren't for their obstruction, she would have chased Ulysses after her.
This time, don't try to get in her way!
"Boom, boom!" In the middle of her, countless mountains began to move according to Hydra's will, combining to form an impenetrable defense line around her, even if Yuffie and Lana in the sky now use forbidden spells to blast away, don't even think of blasting through this great wall of steel.
Not everyone has the strength of Ulysses to chop up all these steel peaks with a single sword.
"What should I do, do I still need to continue to attack?" Yuffie looked at the Great Wall of Steel very worriedly, the same move could not be used a second time, even if she forced herself to use the Sea Splitting Penalty again, it was estimated that it would be cracked by the other party before it was completed.
The mighty power of the earth has now perfectly encased the Serpent of Sacrifice, without any void that can be divided.
"No, there's no need anymore, but don't underestimate our Xiao You, he must already have a way. Lana hugged the exhausted Yuffie and smiled mysteriously.
A black light connecting heaven and earth flashed, and the huge body of the ritual serpent disappeared into the mountains. The feeling of oppression caused by the huge body also disappeared without a trace.
"Hahahaha, I'll never let you escape again this time!Obediently hand over that little girl!" As soon as the leyline teleportation was successful, Hydra couldn't help but make a declaration of victory.
She was probably still somewhat sure of Ulysses' strength, so fast to escape, so sharp to chop up the steel peaks she had summoned, and then fly so far at the fastest speed, she must have no strength.
Therefore, with the trump card of leyline teleportation, she will definitely achieve the final victory, there is no doubt about it.
Ladies who fight for love, there is no word "failure" in the dictionary.
"Ahh "Hahahaha, I'll never let you escape again this time!Obediently hand over that little girl!" As soon as the leyline teleportation was successful, Hydra couldn't help but make a declaration of victory.
She was probably still somewhat sure of Ulysses' strength, so fast to escape, so sharp to chop up the steel peaks she had summoned, and then fly so far at the fastest speed, she must have no strength.
Therefore, with the trump card of leyline teleportation, she will definitely achieve the final victory, there is no doubt about it.
