Chapter 509 There is no two suns in the sky, but there are two Lorens
Meanwhile on the other side.
Northwest side of Nanwantina Territory.
At the same time that Loren was attacked on the southernmost side of the city-state, the Wilford family, as Loren had sensed, became another eighth-level battlefield in the main city of Nanwantina.
The battle had lasted for several minutes since it broke out.
Under the dark night sky, the residential area was engulfed in flames of war. Although the surrounding residents had evacuated, the sky was shrouded in thick smoke, and occasionally through the smoke, it looked like a scorching hell.
The air on the ground was distorted, leaving behind desolation and ruin. The houses were destroyed and only ruins remained.
The battle here is not as earth-shattering as that in the south, but it is also not a realm that mortals can endure.
Talia's body was covered with scars, and her fair cheeks were already covered with blood and dust. The blood moon was hanging high in the sky, and she kept resisting the silver light in the distance.
A twisted humanoid creature that seemed to be made of liquid metal, exuding an aura that made her shudder.
She can at least block this alchemical creature.
If we add another strong enemy, it will be very difficult.
Further away, the figure of a fire mage in a pitch-black coat danced in the darkness like a blazing flame.
She knew that this guy was called the Son of Destruction, or rather, his vicious reputation was known to everyone in Ikerite.
The seventh-level Son of Destruction was no match for her in a one-on-one fight.
But at this time, every attack of his might might cause her to be severely injured by the attack of the Decayed Alchemy Beast.
Before he could think, the silver liquid creature seemed to have smelled something and ran to the right again.
And Talia would never let it successfully find Hyperion, so she pushed forward with all her might.
The fighting between the two sides broke out again.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, deafening.
The air was filled with hot air and thick smoke, and the entire sky was dyed a suffocating red by the aftermath of the battle.
Huge energy fluctuations formed beams of light in the air that went straight to the sky, as if they were going to tear apart the night sky in the northwest of the city-state.
The entire Guardian's Trail where the Wilford mansion is located was shaking constantly under the confrontation between Talia and the silver liquid creature in the distance. Cracks crisscrossed as if it was about to be cut deeply, and the mansions on both sides collapsed and turned into dust.
Flames, black fog and billowing smoke continued to rise, turning the originally peaceful residential area covered with flowers and plants into a doomsday scene.
The Xinmai Square, less than five kilometers east of the residential area, is bustling with people.
Even the residents who were still evacuating could feel the oppression coming from the center of the battlefield, and deep fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"Why would such a monster attack?"
"How could the Resurrection Church suddenly come to Nanwantina Territory today!"
"Lady Goddess of Destiny, can you send a savior to save us?"
The group of residents who were evacuated under the protection of the priests and the army and headed eastward were in a state of noise.
Hyperion almost cried out of guilt after hearing these voices.
She knew it was all because of her.
Now Tata is still desperately trying to block the terrible alchemical beast and the Son of Destruction, and he may die at any time.
"Huprienne, don't be afraid."
Noe noticed Hyperion's condition and spoke in a steady voice.
Although the back of his hands was shaking, as an elder, he had to comfort the child calmly at this time.
Noe could see that Hyperion was in a very bad state.
"At a time like this, I wonder where that bastard Lanqi has gone to!"
Noe became furious when he thought of Lanqi. The Resurrection Church had even invaded Nanwantina. He was worried to death about that kid and didn't know if he was safe now.
If Lanqi were still alive, at least he would know how to comfort this girl.
"Lanqi..."
Hyperion heard what Noe said and seemed to have thought of something.
"Mr. Hans, I'll leave the Wilford family in your care. I'll be back soon."
There was a flash of determination in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said to the butler Hans.
"Huprienne, stop running around!"
Seeing that Hyperion was about to turn back, Noe certainly would not allow Hyperion to do whatever she wanted.
It was Lanqi who brought her to the Wilford family. If something happened to her, Noe would not be able to explain to the girl's parents!
"Miss Hyperion, leave it to me, please rest assured."
Butler Hans saluted to Hyperion.
The old man still looked so calm that Hyperion had the illusion for a moment that he was like her own butler.
Then Hans stopped the panicked Noe with a smile, took Noe's arm and continued to evacuate to the east, and watched Hyperion leave.
"Thank you, Mr. Hans!"
"Hans, you are fooling around!"
Noe stamped his feet in anger, but he couldn't beat Hans.
Hans never disobeyed his orders.
"Master Noe, please trust Miss Hyperion. She is much stronger than you look."
After he finished speaking, Hans turned around and escorted Noe and the people from Wilford's mansion further east.
…
The battlefield in the northwest of Nanwantina was still slowly extending eastward.
The huge body of the Decayed Alchemy Beast floats in the night sky. Sometimes it turns into a human form, and sometimes it turns into a disc. Its existence is like a natural oppressive force, covering the entire scorched earth.
Talia used up all her curse magic and mental magic before she finally found out which magic would be effective against this strange alchemical creature.
She had tried her best to stop both opponents, but it was still difficult to completely stop the actions of the Decayed Alchemy Beast.
Just as she was thinking this.
Suddenly, the Decayed Alchemy Beast stopped.
As if it had finally become annoyed by Talia's constant obstruction, it changed again, and waves suddenly began to roll and spread out on its body.
Until the moment it left the body, it let out a piercing roar that shook the heaven and earth. Its sound waves spread in the sky like a physical entity, blowing away the trees on the ground. It was powerful enough to disperse the clouds in the sky.
Broken stones and burning wood were scattered all over the ground, and from time to time there were loud noises of buildings collapsing.
“Ahhh!”
Faced with this unpredictable monster, Talia suddenly covered her ears, hugged her head in pain, and buried her head, unable to move for a moment.
Her defensive magic pales in comparison to the Rotten Alchemist's new attack pattern, but she persists, using all her strength to build a magic shield.
This scream seemed to shake the entire world, revealing the violent nature of the Decaying Alchemy Beast.
As the roar ended, the Decayed Alchemy Beast opened its huge mouth and spewed out a colorless corrosive breath, covering the earth and the air, and even enveloping Talia.
Suddenly the ground began to decay like fluid. After Talia reacted, she retreated with all her might, but she was still burned, leaving blood marks.
Faced with this tightrope-walking situation on the edge of defeat, magic power gathered around her body, the rock formations shattered, countless huge cracks shook and stretched out, turning into an abyss, then black flames rose from the ground and collided with the corrosive gas in mid-air.
This is the magic her old friend Pranay taught her. The fire of the abyss is often effective against unknown substances.
Talia controlled the black flames, which spun rapidly, forming a raging dark storm that swept towards the Decaying Alchemy Beast.
However, the Decayed Alchemist roared unwillingly, and twisted itself into a wall to block all the black flames. It launched another sonic attack, directly piercing Talia's eardrum.
Although Talia used her magic shield to block most of the attacks, she still felt the unbearable pressure of the sound waves.
She knew that the outcome of this battle would determine Hyperion's fate.
If he cannot resist it, the residents on the northwest side and Lanqi's family may also be affected.
Under normal circumstances, if she encounters such an opponent, she will definitely choose to run away, because she has plenty of life left to fight with the enemy.
But this time, she had no chance to escape.
Talia's face was pale, with a determined light in her eyes. Even if she had to use all her strength, she would stop this monster from finding Hyperion.
"Haha, you are very strong."
But at this moment.
In the blind spot of her vision, a figure that had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time attacked Talia like a ghost, and flames enveloped her body, as if to burn her into dry bones. Even though she pulled away in an instant and used magic to offset the flames, she was eventually knocked to the ground by the follow-up attack of the Decayed Alchemy Beast.
At the same time, many burn marks appeared on the body of the Son of Destruction, Solomon, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood as if his internal organs were damaged.
"If you run away, I can't stop you, but if you want to die, it won't be much trouble."
Salomon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Talia with a cold expression.
The eighth level is not easy to deal with. The curse magic that forces feedback damage has little effect on the Decaying Alchemy Beast, but it is quite dangerous for him.
But now it's two against one, and this woman can only barely hold them back. Once they come into a head-on collision, she will be defeated instantly.
“…”
Talia didn't reply. She looked even worse, but her eyes were still cold and determined.
The strongest man trained by the Bishop of Destruction, the Son of Destruction, Salomon, has suffered a lot of injuries, but he is very cautious.
Every time he attacks, he must find the opportunity that is the safest for him and the most lethal to Talia.
In an instant, a fire spell with a confinement effect appeared again under Talia's feet.
Talia dodged with difficulty. She was in a very bad condition. Even though she avoided the control of the Son of Destruction Solomon, she failed to notice the long-range attack of the Decayed Alchemy Beast. She was knocked to the ground again like a bird with broken wings and rolled twice.
The mysterious black shadow did not give her a chance to catch her breath, and an overwhelming ring of fire enveloped Talia.
This is a chain of dilemmas.
Between the Decayed Alchemy Beast and the Son of Destruction Salomon, she could only choose one to escape.
She knew it was a deadlock, but it was difficult to break out of it, and her downfall would become inevitable over time.
Just as Talia was ready to escape control and try to take on the pursuit of the Decaying Alchemy Beast, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked the flames for her.
The invisible Hyperion rushed over and hugged her tightly.
The teardrop-shaped earring on Hyperion's ear also shattered the moment the barrier disappeared.
This is the earring [Warm Companionship of the Witch] that Hyperion got at the second Shadow World Temple Villain Dinner. It can trigger a magic shield that can resist eighth-level attacks once every 24 hours.
"Why did you come back?"
Talia wanted to yell at Hyperion and push her away, but she couldn't make a sound as if she was choking.
She knew why Hyperion came back.
The next second, light blue frost spread across the ground and gradually turned into icy spirits that froze both of them.
Talia and Hyperion were unable to move in the ice, but they could feel their injuries slowly recovering.
This familiar magic was a variation of the original magic of her old acquaintance, Artemis of Ice and Snow.
Talia's eyes were filled with confusion and emotion, and she could only look Hyperion in the eyes in the ice.
Hyperion's eyes seemed to tell Talia that she didn't want to hide behind Talia anymore, and she also wanted to do her best to protect Talia.
This was the spell card that the Ice Witch had given her when they parted in the Kingdom of Aethertalan.
【Ice Guardian】
[Category: Spell Card]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Ice/Healing]
[Level: 5]
[Effect: Freezes both the player and the target at very close range, gains an excess ice attribute shield and continuously heals both parties. The shield cannot be broken by attacks below level 8, lasts for up to 30 seconds, during which the player is frozen and unable to move. Cooldown time is 30 minutes.]
[Note: Blessing from Artemis of Ice and Snow. ]
Although it was not used in Helrom, there is always a chance to use this card.
The Son of Destruction frowned slightly and did not waste his magic power. He ordered the Decayed Alchemy Beast to continuously attack the frost barrier.
However, the icy armor was very strong. Even though the Decaying Alchemy Beast attacked like crazy, it was unable to break the ice armor on the two men.
It was not until more than twenty seconds later that Hyperion and Talia looked into each other's eyes, and taking advantage of the gap in the Decayed Alchemist's attack, she took the initiative to break the ice, but was thrown away by Talia with force. Then Hyperion became invisible again, and Talia also resisted Salomon's subsequent pursuit.
"How many more times can you block it?"
Salomon said coldly, looking at the air around him.
This young duchess is really hard to kill.
Not only does it have eighth-level protection, but it is also full of life-saving cards.
Moreover, she seemed to have a strange talent. Her breath could not be sensed at all. Even when she approached the eighth-level person just now, the gray-haired woman did not seem to notice her. This was definitely not something that could be done by invisibility magic.
But it’s okay now. In order to save this eighth level, she has already paid the price to save two lives.
"You don't really think you can hold out until the city defense barrier is restored?"
The Son of Destruction, Salomon, turned his gaze back to Talia. "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Hyperion doesn't have much life-saving magic left. She can only make one more mistake at most."
After saying that, Salomon changed his attack strategy without caring about Talia's possible counterattack, and used seventh-level magic to seal off the surrounding land, turning it into a constantly burning sea of fire!
Talia suddenly became anxious and took the initiative to attack Salomon.
This bastard must be dealt with first, otherwise Hyperion will not be able to hold on!
However, she was already at a disadvantage, and once she took the initiative to attack the opponent, Talia would really fall into a disadvantage.
Because on the side, the real powerful enemy, the Decayed Alchemy Beast is still coveting her.
The next moment.
Under the dark glow of the blood moon, the shattered residential areas of South Wantina City became an eerie sight.
Talia was able to fight with the two men, but now she was struggling in pain in the ruins.
Her right hand was tightly grasped by the fragments of the Rotten Alchemy Beast that had split and attacked her, and the sound of bones breaking continued to burst out.
Even though she had tried her best to dodge the vital points, she still couldn't avoid it.
The power of this curse was such that even the surrounding building wreckage was dyed an ominous silver color.
Talia desperately mobilized her magic power and tried to blast away the group of alchemical beasts, but the exploding alchemical beasts caused her even greater damage. She felt as if her body was being cut by countless virtual sharp blades, and the pain doubled.
Talia fell heavily to the ground and was too weak to stand up.
Her body was covered with horrific scars from the attack by the Decaying Alchemy Beast, and her right hand had almost lost its original shape.
Salomon slowly walked to a place not far from Talia, but still kept a distance from her.
With every step he took, the ruins around him seemed to crumble in response, heightening the desperation.
"Why don't you come out, Princess? She's dying, isn't she?"
Salomon looked around and held up a flaming cross, as if if it fell, Talia would suffer irreparable damage.
Hyperion, invisible in the distance, was in tears, but she knew she had to delay, even for a minute or a second.
This was a skill she had developed after practicing for two full months under the guidance of the Ice Witch in the Kingdom of Aethertalan. It could almost completely conceal her aura and even her existence.
Now that she has revealed herself, defeat is truly inevitable.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to kill an eighth-rank warrior... But it would be better to cripple you first and then take you back to enslave you."
Seeing that Hyperion did not respond, Salomon could only lower his head and look at Talia, his words full of sarcasm.
This proud woman who had caused him so much pain was now lying on the ground unable to move.
"You are dreaming..."
Talia's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but her stubbornness remained.
"Don't worry. After I enslave you, you will witness me killing Hyperion and roasting her whole body."
Salomon chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes, as if it was a punishment for Talia's resistance to him.
He really enjoyed the process of taming and conquering the enemy with fear. The more the gray-haired woman collapsed and surrendered, the more he enjoyed and felt pleasure.
"Huprienne, run, leave me alone!"
Talia could no longer suppress her anxiety and shouted with her last bit of strength.
"It seems that I guessed right. She is indeed very important to you."
Salomon looked at Talia who was still struggling and felt that she was stupid for even dreaming that she could hold out until the barrier was restored.
He raised his hand and continued to condense and expand the flaming cross until it turned into a pillar of fire that almost covered the entire area of hundreds of meters.
If two energy stations are operating, the repair can be completed in 45 minutes, but if only one energy station is operating, it will take 90 minutes.
He has issued an order for the Archpriests of Destruction to launch a self-destructive attack on the energy station in the east at all costs!
The remaining high priests will also serve as backup props when he retreats after completing his mission.
Even if Loren had the strength to spare, he would not leave the high priest who started indiscriminate killings in the city-state and was about to self-destruct, and go hunt down him, the Son of Destruction.
"don't want!!"
Talia's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She had never felt so desperate before.
She would rather die than let anything happen to Hyperion, as that was the last flower she had protected with all her heart.
"Who are you waiting for? Are you hoping that the mysterious cardinal will come to save you?"
Salomon sneered and dropped his hand, and at the same time, the flame of destruction in the sky descended.
Time seemed to slow down, leaving only flames and white light.
The huge flames slowly grew bigger in her pupils, and Talia felt as if she had lost all hope.
The expected deafening roar was replaced by silence, endless silence, and the only sound was her heartbeat.
If there is anyone.
If possible!
Talia had never hated her laziness so much.
She couldn't imagine what the world would be like if Hyperion died.
If Hyperion was killed, she would transform into the most vicious and evil demon at all costs to kill all those guys in the Resurrection Church!
But at this moment.
Salomon didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable sense of danger behind him.
It was as if someone was looking at him, or a bishop was approaching him! He turned around suddenly.
The wind started to rise.
There is also the deafening roar of the Storm Dragon.
On the distant horizon, a small bright spot appeared and quickly expanded, accompanied by an intense white light. However, before it could make a deafening sound, it was completely blown away by the violent wind of the Age of Gods!
The mighty light that strikes the soul directly explains the great power that constitutes all things in the world. The brilliance of the Age of Gods drives the flow of clouds and changes the appearance of the night. The power that penetrates the thick clouds is the original unique breath. The wind blows gently on the broken earth, and the ashes stop in an instant and rise against the sky!
At this moment, the sky seemed to brighten.
A figure with brown hair and green eyes walked out from the original curse. The brilliant light seemed to shine because of him, coating the ends of his hair with a layer of flowing gold and silver.
Hyperion, who was in invisible state, was also lifted up by the strong wind and flew into the air, shocked and not knowing what was happening.
Before she landed in the weightlessness, she was held steadily by a figure. She gradually took shape in his hands, and the transparent outline turned into Hyperion's frightened and stable expression. The two looked at each other.
How do you know where I am?
Hyperion shrank timidly in his arms, but her eyes could not move away from his face, and her puzzled look seemed to be asking him this.
"Intuition."
He smiled at her and replied.
Of course, it may also be because Hyperion carries a [Certificate of Resurrection - Destruction].
But more likely, it was the guidance of the goddess of fate that led him there by feeling.
Then, the figure with brown hair and green eyes raised his eyes again and looked at the Son of Destruction in the distance whose legs seemed to be stuck in a swamp.
The Son of Destruction, Salomon, kept trembling and retreating, trying to understand the current situation.
Clearly, the waves of battle that were causing the earth to wail were still coming from the south.
Why did Loren come here?
Salomon's pupils shrank, as if he understood something, and he suddenly looked towards the south side of the city-state.
The person who fought with the Marquis of Somerset in the south was not Loren, so who was it?! I updated more than 10,000 words today. I tried my best.
ps: I recommend my friend's book "Girl, I am a sinner through the ages"
