Chapter 977: Close to Collapse
The undead are the toughest enemies in the world, and no matter how fast they run, how far they dodge, or how deep they hide, these tireless creatures will eventually appear nearby, screaming and trying to break through the defenses of a large number of cartoonish and strange plants, break into the house and eat your brain...... This sentence does not count. In short, the undead never know what it means to give up, and even if they never catch up, they will follow you and eat dust.
Alicia and the others were unstoppable in their rampage through the sea of the dead, leaving behind a trail of rotten flesh and bones and other mosaics of hunting, but the Black Knight who had risen from the pit seemed to have his sights on the little queen and the others, striding after them. Although they were not able to get close to this group of cute girls, their heavy footsteps still caused great pressure on everyone's psychology.
That's why the blonde girls didn't bring their party back to join the army, otherwise the Ghost Beast Armor Monster who chased them so strongly would have taken out their anger at the innocent Coalition soldiers on the spot. Having a boss who had tied with Shana in melee combat rush into battle is chilling enough just to think about.
"Sister, sister. Imrith, who was close to the little queen, took the time to ask hurriedly, "It's not a way to go on like this, and when the main force led by the demon in the distance rushes over, Ace and the others will be in danger." Can you design to trap the Black Knight for a while, while everyone takes the opportunity to get out of the entanglement?"
"Indeed, it looks like I'm going to have to dig a little deeper. Alicia nodded as she threw her magic. "When it falls in, you have to put something like a slate on the top of the hole, and a note with a seal on it is attached to it. ”
"Are you sealing some big monster!?"
"No, I'm sealing the evil undead so that it doesn't endanger newcomers who don't have much ability to protect themselves!"
"Don't just come up and solve the final boss, hey. What about the death plot that said it would eliminate the newcomers?"
Miss Mikoto Misaka, who was wielding two long whips made of black iron sand in front of her, drove the road mightily and domineeringly, and finally couldn't help it, and suddenly turned around and shouted at the sisters: "You guys give me enough to stop, now is not the time to make a daily fuss, right!?"
Because the pseudo-god had not issued any tasks until now, Alicia, who had thought out of some works and was about to speak, was about to speak, when a white pillar of light suddenly soared into the sky from the other side of the horizon interrupted her.
[Is that the direction of the Twin Towers?] The demons finally can't hold back and activate their secret final battle weapon!?Let me take a closer look at what it does. 】
Even the surrounding undead were attracted by the pillar of light, and they all stopped their movements and looked up together. If it weren't for the disgusting and curious appearance of them, this scene would simply be a scene of countless ordinary people bowing down to some kind of miracle that is happening.
The pillar of light exploded. White ripples then swept across the battlefield. Alicia felt nothing but a strong impact on her body, but she was not harmed, and when she tried to examine it closely, she couldn't feel anything abnormal.
The little queen shook her head decisively and threw the idea out of her mind. It was never possible that just now!
Before the people who looked at each other came back to their senses, a crisp sound of metal hitting the ground suddenly sounded next to them. Everyone couldn't help but follow the prestige in surprise, but it was a skeleton soldier who hung his arm weakly, allowing the rusty sword in his hand to slide to the ground. Then it was like dominoes. It started with a lot of knock-on effects. Countless undead have put down their weapons or claws one after another, and the fierce and vicious appearance no longer exists, as if they are eminent monks who have devoted themselves to cultivating Buddhism.
"Hey, what's the situation?" Shirai swallowed in a cold sweat and cautiously looked around at the strange situation, "Could it be that the white light just now is the gate to heaven, and these ghosts have all been influenced and are ready to give up this rotten body to let their souls ascend to heaven?"
"How could it be. Alicia pursed her lips and said angrily, "Shirai, you're thinking too much. Our enemies are demons. Do you think it's possible for them to concoct the kind of spell that would allow the souls of the dead to ascend to heaven? And even if they did, don't you think the timing of this spell was a bit too bad? The demon was clearly using a large number of undead to storm the coalition positions to attract fire. so that the main forces in the rear can complete the predetermined deployment and start the battle, and they will not use it at such an important juncture to allow the undead to ......"
The little queen's words were destined to be ineffective, because the creatures around her who could not breathe suddenly fell to the ground one after another, and the red light in their eyes also dissipated, and they never moved again.
"Ahh
In the distance, there was the sound of a huge heavy object falling to the ground, but the black knight, who had been chasing everyone for a long time, was not spared, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, raising countless dust.
[Even that guy has been affected? Could it be a high-level law level effect!?]
"The demons in the distance are starting to charge!" Mai Trito reminded aloud, pointing to the gray-blue ocean that was surging at the other end of the horizon, "Alicia, since the undead are finished, let's return to our positions and join the army." No matter how you say it, it's always dangerous to be out of touch with the big army. ”
"Well, okay. The blonde girl nodded slightly, and said while habitually urging the magic power in her body to perform the acceleration spell on everyone, "The specific effect of the pillar of light is not yet clear, so it is better for us to be safe." Uh, huh!?"
"What's wrong, sister?" Imrith next to her suddenly tilted her head and asked strangely, "Is there something wrong?"
Alicia grabbed her hair desperately, pulled hard with a shocked and frenzied face, and shouted, "I'm not right!"
"You can see it. A certain snow-white fox curled up in Little Ace's arms said faintly.
", that's not what it means. The little queen pinched her middle finger and flicked it lightly on Yu'er's head. Then she looked at everyone, mostly her precious sister, and said seriously, "All of a sudden I can't use magic. Little Ace, see if you can use it?"
Imrith closed her eyes and tried it. Then he opened his eyes in astonishment: "No, no, my sister." Eth can't cast magic either!"
Yu'er, who scratched her head with her front paws, finally stood up, looked up at the sky and said, "Sure enough, the previous one was not my illusion." Alicia, hurry up and get your army to retreat as fast as you can, or you'll be in big trouble!"
Many harsh voices suddenly sounded from the high air behind her, and Alicia looked back at the source of the voice and smiled bitterly: "It seems...... It's too late. ”
Everyone suddenly looked at it strangely. Then I couldn't help but grow my mouth in shock.
The coalition planes fell straight down from mid-air one after another, as if drunk, smashing a cloud of bright and piercing explosions on the ground, and the panicked pilots fled from the out-of-control airframe, opening their parachutes and slowly fluttering in the air, and the ground was even more chaotic. Because everyone didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be "bombed" by their own fighters, they were busy scattering and dodging, watching these expensive iron birds fall to the ground one after another.
Of course, that's not the most critical thing. We all know that dragons have extremely large bodies. Although the wings of these flying lizards are not too small. But it's very difficult to fly just by relying on wings. Therefore, all dragons really rely on their wings not to fly, but to the magic in their bodies.
Speaking of which, you should all understand what I mean, right? When one giant dragon danced with his hands and feet, made a strange exclamation from his mouth, made a super difficult action of rolling for N weeks, fell straight to the ground, and smashed out countless deep pits, crawling out dizzily and paralyzing without mosquito coils, it was simply not an ordinary joy...... I mean it's shocking.
The air warship, which was a steel fortress flying in the sky of the coalition forces and symbolizing the strongest force of Drowlivan, was also affected, and the flickering flight lights on its surface went out, and the faint roar of the thrusters also disappeared, and it slowly fell down with a loud whistling sound in mid-air.
"Hey, is that what Mindal said about the prophecy!?" said Alicia as she looked at the panicked coalition forces behind her, "Temporarily cut off the activation of the magic element." Renders all magic and magic weapons unusable. While the demons themselves will be affected, it will be a devastating disaster for the coalition forces that rely on magic weapons to fight! without the support of warships, planes, tanks, and long-range artillery. Infantry alone cannot defeat demons. Is the plot of a few elites being killed by a massive amount of cannon fodder going to be staged again? No, I'm going to destroy that tower!"
Imrith nearby was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the blonde girl's sleeve: "Please wait, sister-sama! The prophecy also said that in the end, you were defeated by a demon suspected of being Ulrik in the battle that tried to turn the tide, you should not forget about this matter, right?"
[Hell, that pseudo-main god hasn't issued a mission yet.] Could it be that because it was the final battle, you could do whatever you want......ed?
Alicia took a deep breath and gently patted her precious sister's shoulder and said solemnly, "Of course I haven't forgotten. Still, I'm going to go. After all, there is hope only if you go, otherwise there is not even the slightest possibility, so you can only sit in place and wait for death. And even if I do fail, what if others succeed?"
Xiao Ise wanted to continue to dissuade, but an embarrassed figure hurriedly ran over from a distance. This guy was covered in mud, and his clothes and armor were a little torn as if he had fallen from a height before, and the two-handed heavy sword behind his back was not taken out, so there should be no enemies on the way, and although the whole person looked gray, the light in his eyes was not affected in the slightest, and his concentration was very concentrated.
Next to this figure was a long black straight goth Lori with an angry expression on her face, and her mouth was muttering something in pieces. The black gas condensed behind it is already like substance, so it's not scary.
Ilya, and Akatsuya.
"Ai, Ellie. The teenager, who hurried to the girl, tried to gather his breath and greeted her. "Are you all alright?"
"Let me guess. The little queen raised her index finger as if it had nothing to do with her, and said seriously, "You instinctively saw through the slime on the bridge that I was disguised as a slime, so you don't know how to bribe Jackie - maybe with a lollipop?" Anyway, you left the Aurora in the night to come to the front line to find me, but on the way, you happened to encounter the enemy to activate their decisive weapons, and all the magic was gone, so you and her fell to the ground and fell to the current state, right?"
"Ugh. Roughly speaking, there is nothing wrong with that. Ilya wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "But Ellie, now is not the time to talk about such a thing, is it? Even the air warships are no exception, and this goes on ......"
"Ah, so I'm about to destroy the enemy's twin towers. After taking a deep breath, Alicia looked at the horizon in the distance. "You all know that in Mindal's prophecy I will be caught by the devil. As for whether he was snapped or did something more serious about what happened next, given the age of the little prophet, the great goddess of fate did not reveal anything about him, so we don't know. Even so, I decided to go. And Sister Mai Trin and Shirai, I hope you can come along. ”
Raising her hand, Sister Cannon, who was casually shooting light blue arcs at her fingertips, smiled handsomely at the corners of her mouth: "Ah." Because although the magic can't be used, the superpowers of me and Kuroko are not affected, right? Understood, are you trying to use yourself as bait, and deliberately be seized by the final boss to create an opportunity for us to sneak into the tower and cause destruction? Interesting, count me in!"
Shirai immediately appeared behind Mai Koto like a water snake and wrapped around her tightly: "No matter where my sister goes." Kuroko will always be by your side!"
There was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and there was a humanoid mosaic of green smoke on the ground.
"What's that. Elysia. Sister Pao looked at the little queen who was accustomed to this, scratched her face and said, "Sure enough, let me go alone, right?"
"And then one more sentence, when you come back, you will marry Shirai? Don't even think about it, there's no way I'm going to give you a chance to put up this kind of death flag. ”
“...... You're just trying to see the fun, right?"
The blonde girl didn't pay attention to Sister Cannon's almost cannibalistic gaze, but turned her head sideways to look at Ilya and said, "I know that you are very worried about Michelle now due to the fall of the battleship in the air, and if I were just an ordinary girl, I would definitely go back with you to find the natural stay in the main palace, and then the three of them will find an extremely remote place to avoid demons and wars to live together in peace." Unfortunately, I'm not. Now I'm going to challenge the final boss and give Mai Trin's sister a chance to destroy the tower to restore the activation of the magic elements on the battlefield, which has been decided, and no one can change it. Forgive me for my willfulness, but it is my duty as King and Commander of the Alliance. Would you like to come with me?"
Ilya brushed the dust off her body, respectfully knelt down in front of Alicia, caressed her left chest with her right hand and bowed her head, "Of course, Your Majesty. Although I am fortunate enough to have your favor, until then I was a nobleman and knight of the Birea Empire. The direction of your sword is the direction in which I am going!"
"Well, that's fine. The blonde girl raised her hand to signal her little lover to stand up, then looked around at the friends around her and nodded, "It seems that everyone has already made up their minds, so come with me." Although it is extremely exciting, after all, we only have such a small number of people, and it is obviously not okay to rush in head-on. The demon army is about to attack, so it's better to find a place to hide and wait for the other party to pass before sneaking into the enemy line. ”
Naturally, there was no objection to finding a proposal, and a group of people quickly stepped on the undead corpses all over the ground and hurried into a nearby cave. After a brief disguise, the ground rumbled and shook, and every now and then some sand fell from the roof of the cave, causing the girls to reach out and pat their hair.
Ilya, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, quietly looked out, only to see countless low-level monsters surging towards the coalition position, and at the same time trampling the corpses scattered all over the earth. The creaking sound of bones shattering was terrifying, and combined with the strange appearance and fierce appearance of the low-level monsters, it was like a hellish scene in a nightmare.
"We have to hurry. The black-haired boy lowered his voice and said to the girls, "Even if there are brave warriors such as orcs and dwarves, the coalition will not be able to hold out for long under this kind of onslaught." ”
"That's right, the sight of the coalition positions in Mindal's prophecy being caught in flames is expected to be on the horizon soon. Alicia grabbed the silly hair on the top of her head and gritted her teeth, "It's time to get all the power out there." ”
"Ellie, could it be that after plucking out the stupid hair, you won't be able to transform into a second stage?"
“...... Do you want me to pounce and bite you?" (To be continued......)
