Chapter 733 Shadow Wind
In the dark night, with the moon high in the sky, in a dense forest in the far suburbs of Igwynt, Anna transformed into a heroic young knight in the extremely strong wind. She was wearing a fitted skirt and armor, holding a long spear flag in her hand, and a winged crown on her head. She looked solemnly in front of her. She was looking at another girl, Atcheri, the overseer of the church, who was standing there with a strange look in her eyes.
"This is... weapons and armor? Moreover, it is in ancient shape. Is this some kind of inheritance left by the Field family? But in the history I know, after the first generation of the Field family, the extraordinary inheritance has long been cut off... It seems that you have rediscovered something..."
Looking at Anna, whose image had changed drastically, Atcherie said seriously that now she seemed to think that Anna and the organization behind her had discovered some extraordinary heritage hidden by the Field family, and thus possessed such power.
"You want to point out... that the Yarlin family left behind some extraordinary legacy? But unfortunately... if he really left behind something that could serve as a legacy of power, his descendants would not have suffered such a disaster today." Anna responded to Atcheri seriously, then she looked at the spear in her hand and spoke further.
"Our power does not come from any inheritance, nor does it have anything to do with the Afterbirth Cult. This power comes from past history. We are not the ones you are looking for. There is no need for us to fight, so both sides should stop here, Supervisor of the Secret Privy Council..."
"The power of history?... Interesting. It seems that the origin of your Rosicrucian is even more complicated, and it is even more worthwhile to find out. In addition, whether you have any relationship with the afterbirth is not up to you. It is up to me to catch you and conduct a thorough investigation. Even if there is no relationship, you can't just throw away so many secrets. Don't try to bargain with me..." Atlice continued to talk to Anna with an indifferent look. Dorothy in the distance frowned slightly after hearing what the other party said.
"The church members are too strong. Is this the arrogance accumulated over more than a thousand years?" Dorothy thought to herself. In her words just now, she had hinted that the Rosicrucian was related to "Enlightenment" and the Order of the Heavenly Judges. However, even so, Atcherie still insisted on arresting people, which made her a little embarrassed for a while.
The church has been the most powerful extraordinary force for too long, and no other force has ever been able to stand on equal footing with them. This has allowed the church to accumulate a strong arrogance over time. Because of their dominance, they are not used to bargaining with other forces. Even if there is room for negotiation, they basically control the overall situation and completely control the other party before proceeding.
Although the cardinals of the church are aware of the huge crisis that Yunina's return may bring, none of them have seen Yunina's power and have no substantial experience. In addition, many of the cardinals in this session of the Council of Cardinals have not experienced the Great Holy War 400 years ago, and have no direct feeling of the threat posed by the combined forces of the three religions of the afterbirth, so they have not yet established the concept that the church needs to win over external forces to jointly fight against the threat at this time.
Atcherie is a junior among the cardinals. Unlike Amanda, who experienced the last round of the Great Holy War, she is now very confident in the strength of the church and believes that full jihad alert is the best defense against the crisis and there is no need to go any further. This kind of arrogance is common among the church's top leaders. Although Atcherie's arrogance is not too serious, it also affects her handling of cases in a strong way, leaving little room for negotiation.
"Your Excellency, Privy Councillor, is it really impossible for us to talk?" Anna continued to ask while looking at Atcheri in front of her, while Atcheri raised her sword and spoke without mercy.
"If you want to talk, just come and talk with me..." While muttering, the originally silent Atchley suddenly jumped up, holding a spear and a sword in her hands, and sprinted towards Anna at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. Upon seeing this, Anna immediately alerted herself to meet the enemy. She swung the spear in her hand and slashed Atchley in the air.
As Anna swung her spear, a wide, sharp, giant wind blade was released from the trajectory of her slash, and flew towards Atchery at high speed. Upon seeing this, Atchery looked grim and dodged to the side, easily avoiding the huge wind blade, which left a deep scratch on the ground as it brushed past Atchery's side.
The power of storm, this is the power that Dorothy drew from the history and legal principles of the Field family and bestowed on Anna.
Now, although Dorothy no longer has Viageta's blessing, she can still use the divine power from the Heavenly Judge to a certain extent. Dorothy can use part of the divinity to strengthen her original ability. If quantified, Dorothy now has 3 points of fixed divinity that can be restored. By using this divinity, Dorothy can enchant her original ability with divinity and sublimate it.
Now Dorothy's ability to perform divine enchantment comes from the summoning of the anecdotal body from the path of the god. After being sublimated by the divine enchantment, the source of the power of the summoning of the anecdotal body has expanded from the original horror legend to the level of history and law. As long as she can find a node that can bear the powerful legal and historical consequences, Dorothy can materialize the corresponding historical legal principles and turn them into power. As for the form of embodiment, there are many different forms. For example, Dorothy is now arming this power and directly putting it on Anna, the node, in order to maximize its effectiveness. This is called the heroic spirit weapon by Dorothy!
Now, Dorothy, using Anna as a node, materialized the history and legal principles of the Field family. Of course, the Field family is only a hereditary viscount family of a few hundred years old, and its legal and historical power is not particularly strong. This power cannot compete with Atchery. So Dorothy came out and used some divine activation ability, and also used a little more divine power to further expand the historical and legal connection of the Field family. Using the first generation of the family, Allin Field, as an interface, the scope of legal history absorption has been extended to the national history of Pritt's own country.
Fortunately, Arlin had refused the title of Duke, participated in the Wind King Rebellion, was a founding hero of the Hyacinth Dynasty, and had a close relationship with King Baldrick. Using him as an interface, it would be easier to incorporate some of the legal principles of Pritt's national history. A considerable part of the power Anna used now came from Pritt's national history.
When she entered the battle and saw that her attack missed, Anna began to swing her spear continuously, forcing Atchery to continuously slash out more huge wind blades, and also stabbed out many air cannons in the form of thrusts. Facing these constantly attacking giant wind blades and air cannons, Atchery maneuvered at high speed like dancing, quickly shuttling between the invisible attacks and dodging them all one by one.
"This is truly an ultimate shadow power... This is the strongest shadow I've ever encountered. In terms of speed and agility, it's even stronger than the original Gorsmore. Such a powerful shadow is actually a saint in the Church of the Light. It's amazing... This church has so many hidden secrets..."
Dorothy sighed in her heart as she watched Atcherie perform. Now on the battlefield, seeing that her usual offensive had no effect, Anna's expression hardened, and then she tightened her grip on the spear, and raised it in the air. Suddenly, the surrounding air currents rushed towards Anna, turning into a strong updraft that blew rapidly towards the dark sky.
'The upper hand is the prison!'
Under the influence of the strong air current, Atcherie's petite body, which weighed almost nothing at all, was lifted up and violently blown toward the sky, quickly moving away from the ground and straight into the sky.
Caught up in the strong airflow, Atchley's superhuman mobility was completely restricted. Anna immediately took the opportunity to slash out at Atchley, who was blown into the sky and had restricted mobility, with several wind blades. However, facing the incoming threat, Atchley, who was unable to dodge, chose to raise the pistol in her hand and fired a shot directly into the air.
Amid a burst of gunfire, a dazzling ball of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun and hung in the air. Under the illumination of this dazzling ball of light, all kinds of shadows on the dark earth became extremely clear. Anna and countless trees and rocks were cast with deep shadows by this light.
At the moment these deep projections appeared, Atcherry's own projection, which was originally being blown away, connected with the shadow of a tree on the ground. Then Atcherry's entire body turned into a virtual image and disappeared. Her projection on the ground was also completely integrated into the connected shadow and also disappeared directly.
After seeing Atchley's disappearance, Anna paused for a moment, and with Dorothy's information and prompting, she immediately turned around, raised her spear and stabbed her own shadow directly. From the shadow, Atchley's figure was rushing out rapidly.
As she had anticipated this, Anna used her spear with a sharp wind blade to pierce Atchelli's chest as she rushed towards her from a close distance. However, Atchelli, who was pierced, did not show any pain. After suffering the fatal injury, she quickly disappeared on the spot with an indifferent expression.
'It's not the real one!'
Seeing this scene, Dorothy was slightly startled, and then immediately asked Anna to look around for Atcherie's real body, but she saw an unexpected scene at this moment.
Strong light shone in the woods, in the deep shadows under countless tall trees, in each shadow there was a petite girl slowly rising and emerging, that was Atcherie!
The figures of Atcheri emerged from the shadows of every tree under the strong light, looking indifferently at Anna who was in the center. There were hundreds or thousands of them, which was very strange and spectacular at first glance.
"Is this... a clone?!"
Atcherie emerged from the shadows, raised the pistol in her hand and pointed it at Anna. Suddenly, Anna was facing nearly a thousand black muzzles coming from all directions. She was stunned and frowned, holding the spear tightly with both hands.
With indifferent expressions, the Atcheries pulled the trigger at the same time, and dense gunshots rang out simultaneously. Nearly a thousand light beams were shot out synchronously from the muzzles of the guns held by nearly a thousand Atcheries. These countless light beams shot straight at one point from all directions, and together they intertwined to form a dense light net, which was about to pierce Anna completely.
Anna was well prepared for the light net coming from all directions. Dorothy had already given Anna a warning when countless Atcheris appeared. Anna held the flag spear tightly in her hand and raised it above her head. Then she crossed her hands and began to spin the spear faster and faster.
The spear was spinning at high speed above Anna's head, and at the same time it brought with it a swirling whirlwind. Guided by the spear, this whirlwind rolled up countless sand and gravel and gathered around Anna, forming a swirling storm.
The whirling storm spun faster and faster, and steadily shrank into a sphere that wrapped Anna up in it. This storm ball was constructed from ultra-high-speed whirling storms, and was filled with spirituality that transformed into sharp wind "shadows".
A high-speed rotating storm shield formed around Anna and completely enveloped her. At this time, rays of light from all directions also hit her.
The storm shield completely blocked the incoming light beam, and the high-speed spiritual wind scattered the countless sand and gravel it carried, and Anna, who was protected in it, was unexpectedly unharmed for a moment.
"Break the circle!"
After using the storm shield to block the dense beam attacks, Anna, who was inside the storm shield, gripped the spear in her hand again, spun her whole body around, and then cut out a part of the power accumulated in the storm shield.
Under Anna's circle slash, a circle-shaped wind blade burst out from the edge of the spherical storm shield. This wind blade spread from the inside out and seemed to suddenly expand, rapidly slicing through everything in the surrounding plane in 360 degrees.
Under the slashing of this circle of new peach wind blade, all the trees that were touched were directly cut in half. As the wind blade spread, more and more trees were cut off. In an instant, with Anna as the center, batches of trees from the inside to the outside were cut off and fell down. The creaking sounds of trees falling to the ground merged into one. In an instant, all the originally large tracts of dense forest were reduced to only a wooden stake with a complete cross-section. The surrounding field of vision suddenly became much wider, and everywhere in sight were wooden stakes with extremely smooth cross-sections.
Along with the trees, many of Atcherie's clones were chopped down as well, and they didn't have time to dodge. After one circle slash, about two to three hundred clones were affected and dissipated, but most of them reacted quickly and dodged the powerful circle slash by jumping or squatting. Although this circle slash looked powerful and destructive, it had limited damage to Atcherie.
Obviously, for fast and high-sensitivity units, the power of the attack is not important, the frequency and range of the attack are the key. After understanding this, Anna began to flip down.
After dodging the circle slash, the remaining hundreds of Atchery's clones regrouped, gripped the blades in their hands and rushed towards Anna at an extremely high speed. Anna, on the other hand, held the wind-guiding spear tightly inside the storm shield and continued to spin in circles.
This time, Anna released the power stored in the storm shield directly to the outside world. Suddenly, the storm shield that was originally gathered around Anna suddenly spread out, and when it turned into a divergent hurricane, it also attracted more air currents around it to flow together. In the large area around Anna, more and more huge amounts of air began to rotate around Anna and accelerated rapidly. Spiral black clouds began to gather in the sky of the logical chain.
“Wind…”
Finally, with a roar, Anna turned the air into a huge tornado that rose into the sky. The tornado, which was wrapped in countless sand and gravel and concealed tens of millions of wind blades, was formed in the whistling sound and continued to expand from its original thickness of more than ten meters to hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters. From the outside, it looked like a thin pillar of black wind that suddenly expanded into a wall of black wind that connected the sky and the earth, overwhelming everyone in all directions with full momentum.
Unlike normal tornadoes in nature, the giant tornado created by Anna was hundreds of meters thick and had millions of wind blades swirling inside. These wind blades turned the giant tornado into a giant crusher, crushing the rocks and trees that were sucked in and swallowed up, and swallowed up all the attacking clones of Ateli at the same time. The light ball that was originally hit into the sky was also torn into pieces by the storm.
Facing the rapidly approaching tornado of destruction and looking at her many destroyed clones, Atcherie looked serious. At this moment, she knew that she had to further exert her strength in order to fight against the opponent.
"May the Saint bless and liberate Atcheri..."
Facing the wall of destructive wind that was approaching her, Atcherie tightly grasped the pendant on her spear and sword, and amidst a whisper of prayer, she turned into a pool of shadow and sank to the ground.
At the moment Atchelli was praying, Dorothy, who was looking at the other side of Igwynte in the distance, on the top of a mountain, was suddenly startled. As if she had sensed something, she shifted her gaze away from the giant tornado in the distance and looked at her hands.
At this moment, the family heirloom "shadow" ring on Dorothy's hand was covered with a layer of fine silver light.
Dorothy could sense that just now, the presence of something that she particularly cared about suddenly increased...
“This, could it be…” Dorothy spoke in disbelief as she looked at the ring on her hand. At this moment, a strange idea emerged in her mind.
On the battlefield, the roar of the gale resounded throughout the entire Igwinter. The aftermath of the storm caused strong winds to blow in the distant city of Igwinter. The huge noise woke up many sleeping citizens. They wanted to see what was happening outside, but the howling winds on the streets made it difficult for them to open the doors and windows. Only a small number of extraordinary people could withstand the aftermath of the storm and come to the outside to observe.
"What's going on? Why is there such a strong wind? What is that thing over there?" Turner, the captain of the Igwinter Security Bureau team, asked in surprise while braving the strong wind and looking at the terrifying black storm in the distance. This was the first time he had seen such a shocking scene since he was born. He was completely stunned for a moment. As just an apprentice, he couldn't understand how such a great power was formed.
