Chapter One Thousand and Twelve
Snort!
The shrill sound was barely noticeable in the thunderous explosion of the sky, only the vibration that passed through the hilt of the holy sword into Ariel's body, she frowned, and let four tumbling flames pass in front of her, reflecting her face a golden red, and the rolling heat bent a strand of hair on her forehead.
Countless sparkling activation spells rolled and exploded behind the two of them, and the low intelligence of the activation spells caused them to chase in this direction like moths to fire. But the burst of energy engulfed them like a wave, throwing most of it further away, and the process was like dominoes, and Edward and Elena flew on the summit of the wave, the tumbling and dancing energy surging under their feet, and if they were slow down for a moment, they would melt and disappear without a trace.
Maybe even the soul will be torn apart by energy, right?
Ariel narrowed her golden eyes as she stared at the narrow, almost submerged path in front of her in the tumbling monster of the spell, but for some reason, the Blazing Divine Acolyte seemed to feel his mind more tranquil than ever—not even the tension of a battle, as if this qiē was nothing more than a march, just a picnic trip through the outskirts of Heavenly Mountain?
She didn't know exactly what she was facing, but she knew that Edward must have a way to get through this mess - that person must have already thought of everything he had already conceived when he decided to stir up the situation, although he didn't say it...... In the end, this is often the case. So, it's enough to believe in him.
This kind of unwarranted trust. How many times have you experienced it in your long life?
Or, there have been countless times. For superiors, for subordinates, those who are called companions...... But what about a former enemy?
And more importantly, he even knew that what he was about to do was an out-and-out blasphemy!
It's ridiculous.
She bit her lower lip and threw that strange thought out of her mind as the path had been layered in front of her. The end has been revealed in an instant.
"I'm sorry, travelers, but my power is no longer here to influence ......"
Yugathira's voice flickered in her head. But it was already faint, no longer that clear, and with this sound, the surrounding movement suddenly stopped here. The terrifying shaking sensation produced was almost comparable to the remnants of a dimensional storm......
Are you going to fight it on your own?
The Blazing Celestial Acolyte raised his sword. Squinting his eyes and staring at the huge dark shadow - at this distance, this monster with great energy stood and revealed an even more terrifying appearance, the black ball, the black mist gushing like layers of smoke, but these smoke seemed to be a special life in the shape of a soft mud monster, the darkness like smoke and dust seemed to be burning and rolling, as if a monster was curled up in it!
The moment they noticed the two approaching, two black shadows had already erupted from the huge cavernous darkness!
One of Ariel's six wings. But just as she tried to free her body. Four flames had already flown out from all around! The Blazing Celestial Servants could only notice for a split second that they were the activation of the four fireball spells, but at this moment they seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand. Forcefully pushed towards the long tentacles that stretched out from the black ball!
Then there was an earth-shattering roar.
Subtle, pitch-black rays of light appeared like silk threads where the fireball came into contact with the darkness, but they were fleeting, and they returned to their original ways in a moment—but the activation spells that had been thrown into the past had disappeared into it, without a trace!
Ariel recognized the spell.
It was the Destruction Miè Orb, a pure energy-based nine-ring spell, which could dissociate anything that touched it in an instant, and it was one of the best in the nine-ring arcane, but that was only when it was used as magic, and now this one in front of him was already an activation spell - the condensed energy brought this monster ooze monster-like body, which could be twisted and deformed at will, far more suitable for combat than ordinary creatures!
What's more, no matter whether it is cast by either the gods or the king of demons, the power of energy is far from being something that mortal spells can match.
What to do?
The darkness let out a sharp roar, and six or seven black rays of light burst out of it, waving towards the two of them!
The crosssword drew a spiral smoothly in the air, and the clash of magic and flame made a piercing rattling sound—even if the moment of the exchange was so brief, the tooth-aching sound lingered...... Ariel's brow furrowed, and he switched his sword to his left hand. The huge vibration from the sword body was unimaginable, especially in the rush to block all the tentacles attacking the two of them, it was inevitable that she would lose the strength of her hand, and the series of vibrations made her wrist sore, and she could barely hold the sword for a while.
It's not impossible to kill it, but it necessarily consumes a lot of power, and most importantly, there is no time. Now that it has lost its speed, I can only find a way to distract it...... Anyway, the transparent crystal walls, just behind the dark monsters. Just get Edward there, and he can at least do something......
"You go first!"
The crosssword spun out in an arc behind his back, once again smashing open three rounded black energy tentacles, and the noise of friction drowned out Ariel's words...... The six wings of the Blazing Sky Servant spread out and soared upward! But at that moment, the sharp pain that exploded from one of the wings made her grunt!
The darkness that flew away in her eyes shook her heart...... Obviously, she didn't expect that the tentacles that had been severed by this activation spell had not dissipated directly, but were still under the control of that spell! Although most of the energy from the body had dissipated, and the damage to her wings was not severe, but on her side, the activated destruction orb had already stretched and elongated, wrapped from one side!
If encased in it, the energy of the magic will erode your body into ashes......
You have to get out of the way......
But it's too late......
What is there to help......
Edward......
The darkness widened before my eyes, and countless thoughts rushed through in an instant. But none of them seemed to be able to help him out of this predicament - so there was nothing left in the blank space, and only the name seemed to remain.
"Well, as the proverb says. The tentacles are the natural enemies of a female knight and a female angel...... Once you run into them, it's easy to miss and get caught. ”
The man's voice rang in her head, and then, with a pair of arms around her shoulders, pulled her away from the darkness...... The strange and somewhat mocking voice was still there, but it inexplicably made the corners of Iriel's mouth curl silently: "There are such weird proverbs there......" she said softly.
Although the danger seems to be creeping around, it doesn't seem to matter anymore......
Darkness passed around him. It seemed to be nothing more than a cloud of green smoke, and the crystal glass wall was already close at hand! Then the wind whistled violently in the space! Edward's hand stepped forward. There was a crisp crackling sound that collided with the wall. A small piece of space above the pale five fingers had been twisted, torn, and collapsed in the light! The five fingers immediately clenched, holding the frenzied spatial crack in their hands.
The rumbling roar shook the space, and the walls tugged and shook like frost into strange ripple shapes. In the end, it exploded into countless powders! A crack more than a man wide had appeared in the wall! However, as soon as the crack opened, it began to twist and squeeze like a living thing, and in the blink of an eye, it had already closed halfway! The narrow gap had a strange shape, what position did the two people use...... Well, it's the action that can't be passed either!
"Hell!" the psychic cursed in his heart.
Although it seemed that it would take only one more shot to open enough gaps, his blow just now was extraordinary, and it was to use spiritual power to invoke divine power...... A kind of imitation of the space god, but after all, it is not the real god power - in a hurry. Just using it for a little bit already gave him a splitting headache, and his mind was churning like boiling water!
The point is. These walls were not made of divine power as he had imagined, but real crystals - although the colored light that flowed from them was indeed divine power, but it was unusually weak, and it was only enough to ensure that these crystals could only have the strength to support this superstructure that resembled the Tower of Babel.
However, this faint divine power had good fluidity, and the moment he touched it dissipated and faded, and when his spiritual power broke through the wall, it quickly returned!
Is this a means of dealing specifically with yourself?
I didn't have time to think too much, and the space on both sides was blocked by colorful flashes of light - the short pause was enough for several giant activation spells around to react and rush forward without hesitation! Behind the two of them, the huge activation and destruction ball had already erupted countless tentacles, like a huge black jellyfish, swooping towards the two of them!
"That's right, I'll use you for it!"
The spiritual power silk wool generally unfolded layer by layer, weaving a solid invisible wall around the body, and the smart and cruising outer layer and the ruined energy intertwined into colorful fireworks, but the eruption-like tentacles were also attracted and slid towards the crack in the wall!
There was a loud roar! A roar of the storm followed! A surging wave of air pushed the bodies of the two men, and in an instant they had passed through the hollow that had been expanded, and rushed into the tower!
"Hell ......"
The defense woven by the spiritual power was slammed into the hard obstruction, and the soft flick unleashed, freeing the two of them, and the psychic warlock's throat swelled, forcibly swallowing the fishy sweet blood in his throat into his stomach. Take another deep breath and lift your gaze.
In front of me is a huge, immensely vast world.
The unusually gorgeous and smooth crystals stretched outward from both sides behind him, forming a slightly curved wall, but whether it was the wall or the ground under his feet, each crystal had an unpolished roughness, and the uneven surface reflected the brilliance of the magic lamp, covering the entire space with a layer of vague iridescent. And the space in front of him is so vast and empty, even Edward's eyesight can't see the edge of the space hidden in a piece of colored light!
"How are you?" a concerned whisper caused Edward to withdraw his gaze and meet the golden eyes, but the latter immediately looked away, "No...... It's fine, but ...... It doesn't seem like Azus is here......"
"Hey, there's no one here. What kind of arrogant are you playing...... None of the properties are ......"
"What?"
"Oops!"
The faint sound of wind and screams interrupted the unreliable communication between the two, and then saw the red light pass through the tiny hole in the wall behind them, and then converged into Glascia's figure.
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous. I thought I was going to die...... What the hell is that broken tree for, at this time to say that it has no strength?"
The princess of the devil, who seemed unharmed, gasped softly, and even stretched out her small tongue like a puppy, but the exaggerated performance made people suspect that she was just trying to let Edward see her plump chest trembling: "Strange, there seems to be no shadow of Azus here?Ah, there's something over there......?"
Her words drew the eyes of the two into the distance. But he pulled it back with a scream, and looked at the princess who was half-squatting on the ground, and exaggeratedly complained: "I can't fly." It seems like there's a forbidden realm here!"
"It's true that you can't fly. Ariel said.
Edward frowned, but he was not concerned with the gloomy confinement of the air around him, but with the faintly visible, upward spiral in his vision.
Staircase?
No. No.
In fact. By the time the three of them had crossed the distance of nearly three miles, the staircase had expanded into a massive structure that occupied almost the center of the view, closer to a tall tower...... The length of the 'steps' was nearly 100 feet, transparent and pure, and they were stacked into an upward spiral by some kind of force, and in those long steps, a faint blue light was projected, which was somewhat solemn in the colorful background, but one could see the zenith on it that gradually disappeared into the hazy colored light. Just a simple removal of the gaze will inevitably produce a feeling of dizziness.
It's as if he's just an ant wandering around a human house.
"How long have we been walking?" asked Iriel. But as soon as she spoke, she felt startled, and her crisp voice turned into an incomparably empty echo, which reverberated in the open enclosed space, and finally became a palpitating rumbling echo.
"What, you know you're in a hurry?"
Glesia sneered, and she walked lightly towards the stairs, but she did not forget to stretch her arms lazily, so that the waves in her chest were turbulent again:
"No way, this is already the realm of Azus, if he wants to, even if he wants to turn the distance of a mile into ten thousand miles, and besides, he can completely twist the space to create an endless corridor that we can't perceive, and trap us here completely, according to Yugahitra, he even has mastered the law of time in this space, so if he wants, a few breaths can be used for a few years......"
The sensational part of the devil princess's words made Ariel's brow furrow—of course, the Blazing Priest had a very precise grasp of the rhythm, and she knew that from breaking the wall into the tower and coming here at full speed, the three of them only moved on the scale of three hourglasses, which was not a long time. But these times are too long for a god,
"It's not so exaggerated, the time in the space is solidified from the beginning, and with Azus's ability, at most he can adjust the magnification, and turning a day into a year is already the biggest process," Edward looked up, and the 'steps' in front of him were getting bigger and bigger, "And I always felt that his attention still didn't seem to fall on us, at least not seriously." ”
"Or is he just trying to trap us?" Gracia suddenly reached out and fanned her cheek, "It's been so long, it's really ...... Hey, do you think it's so hot in here?"
The question went unanswered.
The devil's doppelganger is nothing but an image of an energy structure, so what kind of hot and cold feeling is there? Even if it is a devil's body, it is also a constitution that is immune to flames, so it is impossible to care about this problem. Not to mention that the Sixth Hell of Glesia is itself a volcanic wasteland full of magma, so how could she care about whether it is hot or not?
"Hey, it's really hot. The ignored princess raised her voice, and she suddenly approached the Psychic Warlock, allowing him to see the shiny drops of sweat on the tip of her nose, "Don't you all feel it?"
"You can bear with it. The psychic warlock lightly ignored the princess's boring actions, and before coming to the staircase, he carefully looked at the jewel-like staircase: "Or, it will be cooler in a higher place?"
"Really, you just let me find my way, this false gentleman!Demon!I hate you!" The Devil Princess's beautiful face suddenly distorted, but the cold in it made her shudder against the silver eyes of the Psychic Warlock—the difference in strength between them was so far apart at the moment, and there was no task for her to do, and no one could guarantee that this guy would not absorb her to replenish her strength.
So, with a slight curse, she could only jump up the ladder, then the second and third.
The first ten orders seem to be safe.
Glancing at Iriel, Edward stepped up and began to climb...... But after stepping through the third step, his steps suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked Iriel, but the Psychic had already reached out to pull her up and jumped straight down the stairs to the ground!
"It's so easy, and besides, we seem to have been fooled......" he looked around and smiled. (To be continued......)
