Chapter 48: Arena Wings Soaring in the Sky
Under the cover of night, the bird perched on a bare branch, preening its feathers with its sharp beak. Behind it, flames shot up into the sky and people spoke in a noisy voice, but none of this concerned it. It only cared about tomorrow's breakfast.
Although there was no wind, the flames quickly reached the dome, and the Church was in complete chaos. The speed at which ordinary knights could fetch water could not match the speed of the burning.
Not only the chapel was destroyed by the fire, but also the vault and banquet hall were not spared.
The heat was blazing, and they soon discovered that the fire was unextinguishable.
"Quick! This way!"
Lovery gripped his sword tightly and trotted quickly among the knights fetching water. He stopped in front of a middle-aged man. Before he could speak, the man grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Where is His Holiness the Pope?"
Lovery shook his head. "I can't find it anywhere."
"Where is Lord Hefa?"
He paused and shook his head again. He searched almost everywhere but couldn't find the magician.
"Damn it!" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth. The person in charge wasn't there, and neither was the person needed. "This fire can't be put out with ordinary water!"
Should he seek help from the royal family? Although he was the Grand Master of the Holy See Knights, what if the Holy See didn't want help? This would be bowing to the royal family.
In a corner far away from the crowd, Arnold listened to the noise and became a little anxious. He successfully met with Osa and learned that Vifiya was indeed here. For her safety and the success of the plan, he joined their plan without hesitation.
But Osa began to be vague about where exactly Vifiya was.
He turned around and saw Osa doing her thing and walking towards him.
He was about to open his mouth to ask more questions when two glowing circles appeared out of nowhere in his peripheral vision. He subconsciously clenched his sword in a defensive position.
Osa also looked wary, and the two saw Isidore and Kaharun step out in between.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Why are you here?"
Arnold observed several people. Although the way Isidore and Kaharun appeared was surprising to him, it was not difficult to guess the only explanation: they were magicians.
He didn't show too much shock and looked at them as usual.
Isidore walked quickly to Osa and asked, "Where is she?"
Osa knew who he was asking about, but she couldn't answer the specific location.
He continued anxiously, "She's in danger!"
Hearing this, Arnold looked at Osa, hoping she could give an explanation.
Osha's heart suddenly rose, and she gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, trying to erase her slight uneasiness, but she and Vifiya had confirmed that that part could be handed over to her, and even Hefa told her in person that Vifiya would not fail.
So she would believe in Vifiya and believe that she could do it!
In this case, the plan cannot be disrupted, but regarding Vefiya's specific location...
She said, "I don't know either. Or rather, I don't know how far she has progressed. What did you sense?"
They did not avoid Arnold. The fact that he appeared here and took the initiative to wade into this muddy water showed that they had a certain degree of trust in him.
Besides, Kaharun thought to himself that although he had only spent a short time with Arnold, he didn't seem like someone who didn't know how to keep his mouth shut.
Isidore became increasingly uneasy. He sensed that the earrings he gave to Vifia had triggered magic, more than once. He was certain that she was in danger, but it did not trigger the most powerful magic circle inside. Even though he knew it was good news that she had not suffered a fatal attack, he still couldn't help but feel afraid.
Yes, fear. It had been a long time since he had felt this emotion, and he didn't like it.
He tried to determine her location, but was strangely covered by something.
Why not raze this place to the ground? Maybe we can find her there.
But this will disrupt her plans, and she will be unhappy, right?
Kaharun looked at Isidore from the corner of his eye. Having grown up together for many years, how could he not know what dangerous thoughts Isidore had? Fortunately, seeing that Isidore had calmed down, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Osa, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled in a way that hardly looked like a good guy. "We've added some fuel to the fire and added a barrier. The fire will only spread within the Church. Is there anything else we can do?"
——
The audience in the Colosseum all stared at the scene in shock. The development of the event was beyond everyone's expectations.
Vifiya raised her head, her head was still a little dizzy and her limbs were sore, but the most serious one was her left hand.
The angry and violent giant baboon attacked her madly with its remaining sharp claws.
She calmly and quickly grasped her elbow, gritted her teeth, and twisted it slightly. The "crack" sound, accompanied by indescribable pain, echoed in her mind, and her face wrinkled.
Without time to ease the pain, she took quick steps and rushed towards the violent giant baboon.
The best option for her now is to end the battle quickly. Her body cannot withstand another attack, and she no longer has enough strength to engage in another war of attrition with this monster. Besides, the only thing being consumed is her physical strength.
She gripped the sword tightly in her hand and quickly formed a plan in her mind. She believed that Valega's strength was definitely enough to kill this annoying baboon.
When the violent giant baboon's claws reached out to her, she leaned back, half lying on the ground with her back, bent one leg, put the center of gravity of her whole body on her leg, slid behind it at an extremely fast speed, and grabbed its tail with force!
Seeing this, the violent giant baboon swung its tail, trying to knock her to the ground. At the moment when the tail swung upwards, Vifia let go of her hand and jumped up with the force, grasping the rough hair on its back, and stabbed down with the sword in her hand flexibly.
The monster roared again in pain, and the huge wind blew the broken stones and dust on the ground, blurring her vision.
This time, though, she was behind it.
When the violent giant baboon spun and was about to fall heavily on its back to the ground, Vifiya took advantage of the moment it bent over to draw out her sword and used the force to sprint upwards.
The monster felt the pain and moved faster. Its neck was just within reach. She jumped and grabbed its fur, while thrusting her sword in at the same time. However, it was somehow blocked and the sword only pierced its flesh.
Vifiya's hands trembled physiologically, and there was a taste of rust in her throat. She knew she couldn't miss this opportunity.
Her grip on the hilt tightened, her crimson pupils were cold and fierce, she pushed the sword forward even harder, the white wings on the hilt seemed to become more sacred, and the smoke in the sword moved faster.
"Puff!" It was the sound of the sword piercing into flesh.
"Roar!" The violent giant baboon let out a short roar, but the part of its body where the sound came from was damaged.
Vifiya twisted the sword in its neck and slashed it hard, but only injured a quarter of its neck.
The violent giant baboon swung rapidly from side to side, and she clutched its hair tightly, her whole body dangling in the air.
not enough!
We need to unleash the sword's greater power!
The golden runes on the wrist became brighter and brighter, the wings on the hilt opened slightly, and the smoke from the sword body tended to rush out.
Vifiya saw the right moment, with murderous intent in her eyes and her heart beating fast and strong in her chest, she chopped at its neck fiercely!
At the same time, colorful light smoke burst through the sword body, like a bird trapped in a cage with half of its wings taken away spreading its gorgeous half wings, passing through the neck of the violent giant baboon, and turning the corner at the moment before hitting the wall of the arena and heading straight into the sky.
An astonishing force shook the entire arena, and the buildings were trembling. People in the audience stood up straight and looked over, only to be attracted by the blue shield. This shield, one of the best in the Western Continent, was split open with a big hole, automatically triggering the highest level of magic anti-defense.
No one spoke, there was complete silence, and even their breathing became lighter and lighter.
Then there was a loud "bang!" and dust flew up, covering everything in the field.
Everyone stared at the arena with bated breath. Time passed and no one spoke. Only when the smoke cleared did they get a clear view of the scene inside.
The petite figure stood on the violent giant baboon that was lying nearly six meters on the ground. Its head rolled to the side, its eyes wide open, and it looked unwilling.
This scene was too shocking for all the races present in the Western Continent. This fight was originally a punishment for the most heinous criminals, and they specially released the most cunning and violent giant baboons that had eaten the most people.
It was clearly a cub that only needed protection from adult orcs, and it clearly looked so weak.
But she still did it.
She cut off the head of the violent giant baboon.
"Well done!" After an unknown amount of time, someone cheered first, and the entire arena began to boil like a heat wave, and enthusiasm was ignited.
They admire the strong. In this continent, the strong deserve respect. Warriors must fight to the end. Even if their spines are broken, they must never kneel down and never admit defeat!
In the best viewing area, the woman's breathing became heavier, her eyes filled with amazement and passion: "I really want to snatch her away and make her my cub."
This was the scene that Morgana, the owner of the arena, saw when she arrived. Not only was a big hole in the magic defense device that she had carefully modified, it also automatically triggered the highest level of anti-defense. The culprit also killed her favorite toy.
What a powerful force, she thought, she had found the successor she wanted.
In the audience, the two pink-haired, pink-eyed elves stared in disbelief. Their gazes met, each confirming the other's current thoughts. This was the power of the Buma Lingdare! They must report this to the king!
They all realized that they had to keep her on their side.
Vifiya felt her throat tighten, blood gushed out, and her vision became a little dazed. Fortunately, before leaving, she asked Hefa to cast a spell on her. Unless she took it off herself, the robe would be firmly fixed on her body and would not fall off.
She heard them shouting for her, but it didn't matter.
It doesn't matter where this place is at the moment.
She glanced sideways and saw a silver light flashing beside her. She grabbed it without hesitation and disappeared from everyone's sight.
