But now Dorothy, the target that Atchley wanted to attack, was more than 20 kilometers away from her. Any slight deviation in the trajectory would be greatly magnified at this distance of more than 20 kilometers, resulting in a miss.
When the beam of light shot out from Atchery's hand appeared in Dorothy's eyes, she saw a dazzling orange light shooting through several dozen centimeters from the side of her head. If it had been more accurate, she would have been shot in the head by the sniper more than 20 kilometers away.
Atcheri's attack missed, but it didn't matter to her because her other ability was activated at this moment.
Atcherie turned into a pool of shadow and disappeared on the ground. Anna originally came to stop her by waving her spear, taking advantage of the acceleration of the storm, but she was a step too slow, and the spear wrapped in the power of wind smashed directly to the ground.
In the big hole created by the impact on the ground, Anna looked into the distance with a little worry, in the direction of Dorothy.
At this moment, at Dorothy's position, Dorothy herself was illuminated by the beam of light and appeared in the shadow. Atcherie suddenly rushed out, holding a sword and slashing towards Dorothy.
Facing this scene, Dorothy's face was solemn but she did not show any fear.
"Lock of Numerology"
Suddenly, the sound of iron chains was heard in the void, and in the originally empty space, solid chains condensed out of thin air. These chains showed a golden luster, and were densely engraved with various scriptures. If you look closely, these are actually the classic scriptures of the Church of Radiance!
These golden chains materialized out of thin air beside Atcherie, and automatically wrapped around her and blocked her at an extremely fast speed. Atcherie wanted to dodge, but for some reason, she couldn't dodge these chains at all! Every corner where she could dodge had chains that materialized almost out of thin air!
With a series of rustling sounds, Atcheri's entire body was completely bound and restrained by the chains that appeared out of thin air. For a moment, she was locked in place like this, with sturdy golden chains wrapped around her limbs and body.
Atchelli, who should have been extremely agile and fast, was tied up by countless chains in an instant. I had almost no room to react. Atchelli, who was bound all over her body, struggled hard, but she couldn't get free at all. Her resistance couldn't even loosen the chains a little.
Seeing this scene, even the spider king on the phantom body not far away couldn't help but change his expression, showing a strange look that was different from before.
'Lock of Destiny' is another application of Dorothy's divinity of Heavenly Judge. It is the product of Dorothy combining the power of divinity with the form of spiritual silk. After the spiritual silk is infused with the divinity of Heavenly Judge, it is transformed into a treasure that can bind with the power of legal history.
The current Spider Queen interfered with this place by eroding the influence of the Mirror Moon Goddess left in Plit. In other words, what she relied on now was the influence of the corrupted version of Mirror Moon. Following this influence, the Spider Queen even corrupted some of the Mirror Moon power in Atcherie, thus achieving control over Atcherie.
In other words, all the interference that the Spider Queen is doing now is based on the remaining power of Mirror Moon. If Dorothy can limit the power of Mirror Moon, she can also limit the interference of the Spider Queen.
As Jingyue is a god, does Dorothy have any means to restrict her? The answer is yes, Dorothy has the divine nature of the Judge of Heaven, which can guide such power.
Dorothy's lake fairy was summoned by the phantom body through the various legends of the Mirror Moon Goddess left in Plit. The reason why the belief in the Mirror Moon Goddess has fallen to the point where it is only a folk legend in Plit is almost entirely due to the suppression of the church.
Over the past few decades, the church has used a variety of methods, such as modifying churches, tampering with legends, belittling and alienating, brainwashing propaganda, pagan persecution, etc., to cleanse the original existence of the Mirror Moon Faith in Prit, and eventually almost completely washed it out of mainstream culture.
And now Dorothy has borrowed the church's legal principles and history in Pritt and used the divinity of the Judge of Heaven to specifically guide the history of Huiguang's suppression of Mirror Moon's faith that lasted for several decades, and has materialized it in the form of chains in the form of spiritual threads.
The chains that Dorothy materialized this time contained the legal principles and history of the Glow in Priit, and had a powerful suppressing and blocking effect on all other beliefs other than the Glow and the various powers derived from them in Priit. Although the best effect was to restrain the power of Mirror Moon, it also had a strong inhibitory effect on the belief in the Spider Queen, because the belief in the Spider Queen seemed to be another belief in Priit.
Now, many of Atchery's powers are related to Mirror Moon, and she is now controlled by the Spider Queen, so she is directly bound by Dorothy's fate chain. When confronting a target that is suppressed by the law, the fate chain can show an absolute restraint of the law level of ten-tenths of ten-tenths. No matter how fast or agile she is, she cannot escape when she is restrained by the law. The binding force of the chain is determined by the corresponding legal power. For example, Atchery is completely unable to break free now.
Of course, since the power of the chains comes from the church's legal principles, it should be said that this power cannot be used to restrain Atchery, who is a saint of the church. However, Atchery is not her real self now, but a puppet of the Spider Queen. As a puppet of the Spider Queen whose power has been corrupted by the Mirror Moon, her pagan side is far greater than her saint side, so Dorothy's chains can work. These are the reasons why Dorothy did not use chains to restrict Atchery when Anna and Atchery fought at the beginning. When Atchery really became a saint of the church, the chains would not work unless Dorothy could find something to restrain the church's legal principles, but this was almost impossible.
In addition, such a powerful ability cannot be used whenever you want. The power of the chain of destiny comes from the power of the church's law, and Dorothy cannot guide the church's law out of thin air. Just like Dorothy needs Anna as a node to guide the power of the Pritt country's law, Dorothy also needs a node to guide the church's law.
And Dorothy’s legal node in the church is Vanya.
Now Vanya has become a member of the church, and is able to join the church's upper echelons. Naturally, she serves as a node for Dorothy to learn church law. More importantly, in Vanya's resume, she once served as the temporary archbishop of the entire Pritt Diocese after the Gramoyn incident! She was in charge of the Chant Church and managed the entire Pritt Diocese for several months. During this period, she even handled a very serious pagan attack case, which won her the hearts of the people.
The experience of being a temporary archbishop in the past few months has enabled Vanya to perform extremely well in absorbing the legal principles of the Pritt Diocese. In the church tradition, the archbishop represents the entire diocese. For Dorothy, this is an excellent node!
The moment Dorothy was trapped in the Spike Prison, she had already started using the information channel to contact Vanya in the distance, asking her to perform a brief ceremony on the spot, adjusting it to a state that Dorothy could remotely borrow as a node. When the controlled Atchery attacked, Vanya was also preparing for the ceremony. Dorothy could remotely perform the operation of simply borrowing a legal node.
Dorothy is now trapped in the Spike Prison. Because of the Phantom Pain, she cannot use her normal spiritual abilities. However, the Numerology Chain ability is different. It is a divine ability! It can be activated without regard to the restrictions imposed on Dorothy by the Spider Queen.
This is not an ordinary spiritual power, this is the power of God! And it is the power of God that is higher than the divinity of the Spider Queen!
At the current scene, Artchery, who had come to attack suddenly, was completely bound by Dorothy's fate chain and could not move at all. Dorothy was trapped in the spike prison and had basically no ability to move. The Spider Queen was controlling Artchery while fighting with Jingyue's remnant for control of the virtual body, and could not move smoothly for a while. The parties were completely deadlocked at the moment. For the time being, no one could do anything to anyone.
However, this stalemate will not last long. First of all, on Dorothy's side, Anna is rushing here quickly. With her speed, she will be able to reach the scene in a short time. Her arrival will directly change the balance of power on the scene. The fate chain bound to Atcheri also has the ability to continuously suppress and restrain the law. Under the bondage of the fate chain, whether it is the Spider Queen or the corrupted Mirror Moon, the power on Atcheri will become weaker and weaker. Atcheri will soon be able to get rid of the Spider Queen's control and wake up.
In its present form, the wait is on Dorothy's side, but it's clear the Spider Queen isn't willing to give up.
The Spider Queen gradually withdrew the power exerted on Atcherie, and reduced the number of illusory spikes on the spike prison that bound Dorothy by one third. While reducing the control over Dorothy, she gained more control over the power from the interference of Mirror Moon. The reduced spikes were released from the Spider Queen's control after they were scattered around Dorothy, and exploded in mid-air.
Those illusory spikes exploded in one breath and turned into balls of bright red blood mist. The blood mist spread rapidly and completely covered the entire area.
Dorothy, who had just been released from certain restrictions, immediately used the water-absorbing talisman on herself upon seeing this, and then put the portable water source of the small tube disease that she had previously seized from the Sea Abyss Cult to her mouth.
However, the purpose of the spider queen releasing this blood mist is not to poison people. This blood mist is to diffuse in the sky to form a blood mist cloud that hardly sinks. The spider queen does this to block the full moon in the sky!
Moonlight, the channel through which Mirror Moon exerts influence, cannot be eroded by the current Spider Queen. Although Mirror Moon's current condition is not quite right, the Moon's domain is still controlled by Mirror Moon, and the Spider Queen cannot infect it at all. The influence of Mirror Moon's side that is not eroded at the scene is mostly projected through the moon, which is absolutely clean and uneroded power of Mirror Moon.
But now, the Spider Queen has blocked the moonlight, which is equivalent to blocking the key channel for Mirror Moon to project its power!
At this moment, the Spider Queen almost completely mastered the control of the phantom body and completely stabilized the originally unstable spider head. Jingyue's will in the phantom body began to be suppressed for a time.
The spider head, with its phantom form, was the only node for the Spider Queen to project her power in this area. After Mirror Moon's interference had diminished a lot, the Spider Queen was finally able to control her abilities to a certain extent. She looked at the countless remaining dark red spikes beside Dorothy, controlled them, and stabbed Dorothy fiercely together.
Dorothy looked at the densely packed spikes in front of her, with a frothy expression. In the next second, she seemed to be strung together from all directions and turned into a hedgehog.
"You are not allowed to act recklessly in my territory! Evil God!"
At this moment, a violent storm suddenly arose, blowing in all directions. The huge airflow gathered around Dorothy and formed the figure of a young knight. After Anna appeared, she waved the spear with divine power in her hand, and in an instant she cut off all the dark red thorns around Dorothy.
Seeing Anna's sudden appearance, the spider head once again showed a strange look on its face, as if indicating that the scene before her was beyond her expectations.
Normally, the speed of a high-level Beyonder in Storm Path is very fast, but it is definitely not this fast. The battlefield where Atchery and Anna were fighting before and where Dorothy is now are about 20 kilometers apart. From the time Atchery relied on her shadow to reach Dorothy in an instant, it has only been about ten seconds. Even if Anna tried her best to hurry, she would not be able to catch up.
In fact, the reason why Anna was able to move so fast did not come from the Path of Storm, but from the ability of the Heroic Spirit Armored Body, which was the same as the previous Expulsion Order.
The origin of the Field family is Arlin Field, and Arlin's most legendary deed, which also brought him the greatest reward, was the legend of rushing to the rescue from thousands of miles away, fighting alone against the entire Black Thorn Knights team, and rescuing the kidnapped prince. This was his most legendary battle praised by the world.
After becoming a Heroic Spirit, Yarlin's legendary deeds were sublimated into a special ability and blessed on Anna. When someone close to Anna or someone who has signed a contract with Anna is in danger, Anna can directly come to that person at almost instant speed and protect him as a guardian knight. The coverage range of her ability is almost equivalent to the size of half a Prit, which means that Anna can teleport half a Prit to rescue the target in danger.
In the process of the defensive battle, Anna will also get a bonus to her combat power because of Arlin's legend. If the target to be attacked is related to the legendary Black Thorn Knights, this bonus will increase further, and the attack can even be accompanied by a legendary divine enchantment!
Anna arrived at the scene in an instant to protect Dorothy, and the connection between her target, the Spider Queen's power projection, and the Black Thorn Knights that appeared during the Wind King's Rebellion was now self-evident. Only in this way could Anna break the dark red spikes created by the Spider Queen.
Seeing Anna appear, the spider head waved its hand with its phantom body, and countless dark red spikes condensed out and pierced towards Anna. At this moment, Dorothy reminded Anna.
"Don't use any long-range attacks... Just cut off these thorns from the side without any blocking..." Dorothy reminded Anna. Knowing the divine characteristics of the Spider Queen, she knew that facing the Spider Queen's attack, one would be transmitted to extreme pain if one was not careful, so she must be careful when fighting.
Anna nodded and followed Dorothy's advice. She began to swing the spear at high speed to cut off the spikes that materialized out of thin air one by one. However, the spider head was materializing more and more spikes through its phantom body, and it seemed that Anna might not be able to cope with them in the end.
"Send the wind to the sky! Blow away those clouds!"
At this time, Dorothy reminded Anna, and after a break in defense, Anna began to directly control the high-level air currents in the sky, trying to create strong winds to blow away the blood clouds. However, these blood clouds were extremely thick and sticky, and the whistling winds created by Anna were a bit slow and could not blow away all the clouds at once.
After seeing Anna's actions, the spider head used its phantom to condense two waves of spikes and shot them forward, one wave towards Anna herself, and the other wave towards Hu Feng in the sky.
The spider head wanted to attack the extraordinary phenomenon created by Anna with the illusion, and transmit the pain directly to Anna! Anna can defend herself and Dorothy's surroundings, but she can't defend the high altitude.
Just when Anna couldn't take the overall situation into consideration, a black shadow flashed in the air. The dark red spikes in the sky were chopped into pieces in an instant after the shadow passed by. When the shadow fell to the ground, its figure became clear. It was Atcherie!
At this moment, Atcheri has completely broken free from the control of the Spider Queen. She holds a sword that exudes an ominous black aura and seems to be a complete shadow in her hand. She looks at the phantom spider head in the distance with angry eyes.
"You dare to play with my sanity, I will make you pay the price, evil god!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Atcherie rushed directly towards the spider-headed phantom at high speed. The spider-headed phantom condensed red spikes to fight back, but it only shot out a few of them and the space around the spider-headed phantom moved strangely. Then golden chains shot out from the void and completely bound the spider-headed phantom from all directions.
After Atcherie completely regained consciousness, Dorothy's chain of destiny was freed up and could be used to lock on to the target! After Atcherie dodged a few spikes, she took out her pistol and shot at the spider's head.
A specially stored huge light bullet was fired, and after accurately hitting the spider's head, it burst into light and exploded.
At the same time, Anna on the other side finally blew away the blood cloud covering the sky. For a moment, moonlight sprinkled from the clouds and illuminated the phantom body that held the spider's head. The phantom body, which had struggled to the point that the chains loosened, gradually began to calm down after being illuminated by the moonlight.
