Chapter 433: Companion (16)
The envoy's speed was quite fast, and by the time one of them joined Fiona's warband, the other had already arrived near the stone platform.
Caterina had already put all kinds of protection on her companions, and in the face of such a humanoid creature that she had never seen before, she was not afraid to hold a shield in front of her.
The envoy ignored her and rushed towards her with no slowness, a "bang" that sent Caterina backwards, followed by a metal crack that broke the shield completely.
The girl's whole arm holding the shield trembled, but she still wanted to stabilize her body and continue to fight, but the impact of the opponent's weapon was too strong, and in the end she still retreated twenty or thirty meters, and finally sat on the ground.
The Holy Envoy instantly repelled Caterina and continued to move forward.
A giant sword swept over, and the Holy Envoy just casually slashed the weapon over, and the two-handed sword and the giant sword collided together, and Red's body rose directly off the ground and flew upside down.
The corners of Dahan's mouth have overflowed with blood, but his heart is full of regret, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use the "first attack" now, he would be able to block the other party for a few more seconds, at this juncture, a few seconds might be a world of difference.
The Holy Envoy didn't stop a step, and he didn't bother to chase down the two humans who wanted to block the way, when suddenly the space behind him fluctuated, and a tall human wolf appeared.
This is Melissa, who has been hiding behind Leon since she woke up, until she heard Leon's instructions to Caterina just now, and she stayed with her near the stone platform.
With the little girl's original appearance, she should be unwilling to show her beastly ability at will. Because it would prove that she was a half-blood, and that seemed to be a secret she kept hidden in her heart that she didn't want others to know. But seeing that her companions were in danger, Melissa completely put her worries behind her. Immediately completed the beast transformation and launched an attack on the Holy Messenger.
The sudden appearance of the large human wolf did not bring any other superfluous emotions to the Holy Envoy, for him, only Li Ang was the first target, and the attacks that appeared on the way were just obstacles.
The Holy Envoy retracted the two-handed sword that had just slashed Red's back, and slammed the hilt into the sneak attacker behind him.
He underestimated Melissa's abilities, and the man-wolf claws parted, and his sharp nails made a chirp that cut through the air. Ten thin lines abruptly appeared behind the holy envoy and landed on the bright silver armor.
At the same time, the hilt of the sword slammed into the thick arm of the man-wolf, and Melissa let out a muffled grunt. Also repelled by the force of the impact, he flew upside down in the direction of Red.
After a small thud, two or three small cracks appeared in the armor behind the Holy Envoy's back, but then the cracks began to shrink. In the blink of an eye, the armor is back to new. There is no trace of the rupture at all.
The siege of the three of them was broken by the Holy Envoy one by one in a matter of moments, and it barely played a role in stopping them, but they were not hurt too harshly, which made Li Ang breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, there was only a stone platform between him and the Holy Envoy, and no one else could stop the other party's pace, but the young man did not even have the tension he had just now, and he stared closely at the Holy Envoy who was about to jump over the stone platform and rush towards him, and said in his heart, "Come on." Although I want to guide the skill, even if there is only half of the body left, it is not so light that it will be killed. As long as you hold on for another half minute, it will be Lao Tzu's home field!"
It has been nearly a minute since the horn of the mountain people was activated, and the fluctuations in mid-air have almost subsided, and clusters of white light have begun to emerge one by one, and gradually fall downward, which means that the mountain warriors are coming.
As soon as the Holy Envoy raised his foot, he appeared on the top of the stone platform, and at the same time, he raised his two-handed sword in front of Li Ang, and his body moved slightly, as if he was about to dive down.
The Sword of Sanction had shrunk to resemble an ordinary long sword, and the black mist that wrapped around the stone platform was gradually thinning, and at this moment, a slender arm stretched out from the mist and grabbed the Holy Envoy's ankle.
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Sophia!"
The sound caught everyone's attention, whether it was Caterina, Red, and Melissa who had been knocked out, Erin who was clutching at the placket of her clothes in the rear, trying to help but not knowing where to help, or Fiona, Sapa, and Quinine who were fighting on the other side, all saw their arms sticking out of the fog.
"Sophia is finally awake!"
This is the voice of some people with joy, but there are also people whose faces are not very good-looking.
Quinine was stunned and said, "No...... There's no way she'll wake up so soon...... What's going on?"
Fiona, on the other hand, was full of surprise, and it was a moment before she shouted.
"Don't move! you can't ...... right now."
However, she was obviously a little late, and the Holy Envoy wrangled forward as he was grabbed by the ankle, only to find himself restrained in place, he looked down, and then stabbed his two-handed sword into the black mist without hesitation.
I don't know if it's because he was blocked by one hand, so he judged that the other party was not easy to deal with, or because the heavy dark power made the holy envoy disgusted, when he took out the sword this time, a circle of powerful power fluctuations surrounded the two-handed sword, and when the weapon pierced into the black mist, there was obviously a sound of stone shattering.
With a "hum", the power fluctuations swept away the black mist in an instant, revealing the situation that had not been seen on the stone platform for a long time.
Sophia was the one who grabbed the envoy's ankle, but the girl's image changed—the once iconic long wavy blonde hair was gone, replaced by a long straight black hair, and her pale blue pupils had turned pure black, but other than that, she looked and was the same as before, her body shape, and her dress.
The change was actually not the point, these people's eyes were all looking at the girl's chest, and the Holy Envoy's two-handed sword was plunged straight through the middle, and even the stone platform under Sophia was already obviously cracked.
"Sophia!" Leon's eyes reddened.
The power fluctuations that had calmed down around her began to intensify again, and Fiona knew that the situation was not right, and immediately shouted loudly: "She can't die! Continue to channel your abilities! Otherwise, everyone will die! Sophia has no point in buying you time!"
This sentence stopped the young man's figure as he was about to rush out. Indeed, the "Mountain People's Horn" is a large-scale summoning skill judging from the effect shown, once Li Ang's love is out of control. Or turn to attack other targets, and the guidance may be terminated immediately, which is equivalent to falling short, and instead putting other comrades who have been fighting hard into a desperate situation.
Leon's face was extremely gloomy, but he finally stopped the love that was about to explode, and tried his best to calm down and continue to stop in place.
Clusters of catkins of light sprinkled down. Leon didn't pay any attention to what was happening elsewhere except for looking at Sophia.
At this time, the barbarian was a little unstoppable, after all, he had only just recovered to the fourth order. He hadn't reached his peak state at all, so it was quite difficult to face a fourth-order mid-to-upper holy envoy, and it was quite good to be able to delay until now.
The Holy Envoy has no emotions, and his purpose is only to fulfill the will of the summoner. When the barbarians are badly wounded in the attack and come back. Instead of helping Quinine, the Holy Envoy immediately soared into the air, then swooped down to approach Leon as fast as he could.
No one should be able to stop him this time.
As Quinine and Fiona thought so, a bolt of lightning as thick as a python fell from the sky and struck the Holy Envoy's body, the electric energy contained in this blow was quite powerful, and even the Fourth-Order Holy Envoy couldn't maintain its suspended state and fell to the ground fiercely.
The next moment he stood up again. There were large spiderweb-like cracks in the armor, but just like the messenger just now. The rifts quickly came together and became new.
This anomaly made all the people on Leon's side refreshed, especially Erin, her eyes were very bright, looking around for anyone to appear, but then there was no other abnormality, not at all like a sign of a strong person coming to help.
It didn't take a few seconds for the Holy Envoy to go from diving to falling and then getting back to his feet, but it was after a few short seconds that those spots of light finally fell to the ground, and with a strange twist in space, each spot condensed into a human figure.
"Lord of the Mountain People, we have answered your call and come to fight with you!"
Hundreds of identical shouts converged and resounded through the valley.
The closest were familiar faces like Pirlo and Mirrona, and Leon gestured to them and pointed to the other side.
"Kill the three of them. ”
The voice was flat, but it contained endless anger.
Bishop Quinine didn't know how many times his expression had changed during the battle, but this time it was clearly the most intense.
"No, it can't be!" his voice was full of horror.
Because there were also dark-skinned humans one after another near him, although their clothes were plain and their weapons were rudimentary, they were full of spirit and endless fighting spirit!
"Who are you, how could you possibly have such abilities!"
Quinine was greeted with a pair of cold eyes, but no one answered his question,
"Lord of the Mountain People, your command is our will!"
With these words, the mountain warriors launched an attack towards their respective targets.
At this time, Sophia finally let go of her hand, and the holy envoy saw that there were many people coming, so he ignored the girl at his feet, he drew his two-handed sword, and with the blood spurting out, Sophia's body also twitched.
But her expression was not painful, and Sophia tilted her head, her gaze finding Leon in the crowd.
The Holy Envoy jumped off the stone platform, and he was surrounded by dozens of third-order powerhouses almost instantly, and Li Ang also arrived at the first time.
"Brother Leon...... I'm sorry...... I don't really know ......."
"Don't talk about Sophia...... No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you will always be my sister and our companion. ”
"Thank you...... You. ”
As soon as the words fell, Sophia's body softened and closed her eyes in Leon's arms.
"Suo...... Sophia ......"
Leon and his companions who arrived were devastated.
"You fools!" Fiona said in an angry voice, "she's not dead!"
"Huh?"
Leon looked closely, and was embarrassed to find that Sophia had actually just fainted. (To be continued......)
