Even if Guskina's blood mist armor could effectively block Athole's attack, when Athole used the shadow offensive, Guskina's blood-colored armor and the flesh inside it would still be attacked and damaged together. In the face of Athole's "shadow", any form of armor was meaningless!
Even wearing blood-red armor, Geskina still couldn't stop Atolli from hurting her!
"Damn... little devil!!!"
Even wearing blood-red armor was of no avail. Finally, after being unilaterally hurt by Atolli for a long time, Geskina became furious and now she adjusted her strategy again.
“Go to hell!!”
After creating some distance between them, Gesijina thrust the blood-red weapons she was holding into the ground one after another, and then frantically urged her spiritual power. Immediately afterwards, the ground of the entire battlefield began to tremble slightly, and a huge change occurred immediately.
Amid the trembling, blood-red spikes broke through the ground like weeds and grew up densely. These spikes grew madly, and in the blink of an eye they turned from "weeds" into "big trees" and also "branched out" extremely quickly.
Seeing this, Atoli immediately used the pistol in her hand to continuously shoot light bullets, bombarding the grown spikes in an attempt to blow them to pieces. However, as soon as the light bullets touched the blood-colored spikes during the explosion, they would be transmitted with the pain attached to them by the divinity on them, and they would go out of control. The out-of-control light bullets either had a disordered spiritual structure and the explosion power was greatly reduced or ineffective, or their trajectory and impact were disordered and shot to other places. Atoli's bombardment was greatly reduced under this influence, and she was completely unable to stop the brutal growth of these spikes. She was surrounded in a short time and had no room to dodge. She could only watch these blood-colored spikes spread towards her from all directions, as if they were going to swallow her up completely.
Spikes, more spikes grew out from the original spikes, densely spreading out in all directions, branches extending from the main trunk, and thinner branches extending from the branches. In an instant, within an area of nearly one kilometer in radius, dense blood-red spikes spread madly, growing savagely, and in just an instant, the surrounding area was transformed into a bloody and huge hell of needle mountains.
In this hell of needles, there were countless sharp blood-red spikes and thorns. The distance between these spikes was less than tens of centimeters. Even Atolli's petite body could not accommodate them. Logically, she should be wrapped in this hell of spikes and pierced to death.
However, in the current situation, Gesijina, who was in the center of the thorn forest, could not laugh at all, because at the moment she had no perception that the thousands and thousands of thorns she released did not pierce even a single body.
That little devil...where is he now? !
Just as Guskina was feeling confused, suddenly, in one direction of her thorn forest, a light bullet rose out of thin air, passed through countless tiny gaps, rose into the sky, and turned into a dazzling ball of light like a flare, completely illuminating the surrounding area.
Under the illumination of the flares, this dense forest of spikes also cast an extremely dense, fine and tiny projection of spikes!
At the moment when the projection appeared, on the ground below the Spike Hell, among the thousands and thousands of fine reflections, there was a tiny shadow that had no actual entity in reality and existed independently. It suddenly moved. They changed into various shapes, turned into swords and sharp blades, and began to cut the countless long and dense spiky reflections around them. As the reflections were damaged one after another, the thorny branches on the Spike Hell began to crack and fall off rapidly, and even collapsed with a loud bang.
Facing Gaskina's large-scale attack, Atoli once again transformed herself into a shadow and interfered with the entities in the present world. This move was essentially an escape into the inner world, and could not be used in areas with thick fog of confusion. Fortunately, the concentration of fog on the battlefield was low due to the residual power of faith, so Atoli could use this move by escaping into the inner world shallowly without going deep into it. However, once she went deep and away from the battlefield, she would be at risk of getting lost.
The shadow-like Atowri changed her form rapidly, madly cutting the shadows of the surrounding Needle Mountains and destroying the integrity of the Needle Mountains. The Needle Mountains collapsed one after another during the destruction, and the entire Needle Mountain Hell was collapsing. While Atowri's shadow was constantly destroying the Needle Mountain Hell, it was constantly moving rapidly towards the center of the Needle Mountain Hell where Guskina was.
Facing this scene, Guskina gritted her teeth immediately, and then the needle mountain around Atowori's shadow continued to grow rapidly, growing more spikes to stab Atowori's shadow, and Atowori controlled the shadow to dodge quickly to avoid being stabbed by the spikes. Because of the risk of chain reaction, Atowori did not use the body during the whole battle with Guskina, otherwise if the body was operated incorrectly, she would be gone too.
Unlike the wind blade used by Anna, Guskina's spikes are enchanted with divinity. As long as they damage extraordinary things related to extraordinary people, they can also damage the extraordinary people themselves. This special shadow is the window medium for Atocori to remain in the world, and naturally included in this related object. Once this shadow is damaged, Atocori's body will also be implicated. Therefore, Atocori cannot resist it like she did against Anna, but must dodge.
As a shadow that can transform at will, Atoli's dodging ability is even more outstanding at this moment. Geskina is unable to stop it for a while, and can only watch the roar of the collapse of the Needle Mountain Hell approaching her side quickly.
Faced with this scene, Guskina paused, then noticed the small ball that Atowri had fired into the sky as a flare, and then immediately extended a spike into the air, extinguishing the light source. After losing the light source, the battlefield shrouded in fog on the periphery suddenly became dim, the light and shadow suddenly became less obvious, the projection of the Needle Mountain Hell blurred and weakened, Atowri's connection with the battlefield in the present world weakened, the efficiency of destroying the Needle Mountain Hell was greatly reduced, and Atowri's own existence began to become weak.
In this situation, another light bullet was shot out from the shadow of Atolli's incarnation, shining from the gap into the sky above the battlefield, continuing to strengthen the shadow, but after seeing this, Geskina immediately stabbed it out.
In this way, Artowry dodged the spikes while launching a light ball from her shadow into the sky to strengthen the shadow. Guskina immediately used the spikes to pierce the light ball shot from the shallow layer of Artowry's realm at any time. The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while, but in general, Guskina had the upper hand and she controlled Artowry's movements more firmly.
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly changed. The confusing fog that had shrouded the battlefield and became thicker and denser with time suddenly began to violently disturb. After a fierce surge, a strong light shone from the top of the sky covered by thick fog, making the entire sky white. A strong glare broke through the fog and shone down from there.
Under the shining of the special pure light from the sun in the sky, the fog shrouding Tivian was suddenly dispelled, and the outline and appearance of the city were revealed again. The battlefield where Atolli and Guskina fought was also illuminated by the light for the first time. The originally blurry shadows suddenly became extremely clear under the light of the sun in the sky.
At this moment, the shadow of Athole began to explode violently. Under the unprecedented light, the shadow became clearer and more specific than ever before. Her strength was greatly enhanced. The shadow, which was originally in an irregular form, suddenly changed into the specific appearance of Athole's shadow. As soon as Athole stretched out her hand, a shadow sword materialized in her hand and extended very long.
Swinging the shadow sword in her hand, the shadow incarnation Atowori slashed off countless huge projections of the Needle Mountain with one swing. Large areas of the Needle Mountain entity also shattered and collapsed along with the shadow. As Atowori continued to swing the shadow sword in her hand, the entire Needle Mountain Hell was rapidly disintegrating, and the speed of growth controlled by Guskina was completely unable to keep up.
This is Atole, the church's archdeacon, a shadow that serves the light. The darkness of her shadow comes from the contrast and foil of the light. The brighter the light, the darker she becomes...
Under the strong light of the sun in the sky, Atowri cut through the thorns and destroyed numerous needle mountain hells. She cut through the front of Guskina and destroyed the sharp needle barrier in front of her. Seeing this, Guskina immediately flew into the sky to avoid the attack. However, she could fly and dodge, but her shadow could not. Atowri directly aimed at Guskina's shadow and rushed towards her.
Seeing that something was not right, Gesujina made a maneuver in the sky, dodging with her own shadow. However, under the speed of Atolli, which was strengthened at this moment, Gesujina's shadow was still hit, and her waist was cut by the shadow ninja. Gesujina's body was also cut open, and a blood mist spread out.
After realizing that flying was more disadvantageous to her, Geskina quickly lowered her altitude and jumped backwards to land in an open space that had just been cleared of needle mountains, so that the shadow could be relatively close to her and at a distance that was easy to cover and control. Then she looked at the shadow of Atolli that continued to attack in the front, and was about to deal with it. However, at this moment, something strange happened suddenly.
“Swish!!”
After a sharp sound of a blade piercing the flesh was heard, a dark shadow blade pierced through Gesijina's chest and abdomen, bringing out countless blood and blood mist. Gesijina was stunned after spitting out a mouthful of blood, then turned her head with eight eyes and looked behind her, and then her eyes widened involuntarily.
"What……"
What Gesijina saw behind her was a tall, pitch-black monster with one arm. The monster held a weapon in its hand and pierced her silently from behind. She was very familiar with the monster's appearance. When she looked down, she could even find that the monster's legs were connected to hers.
This is a shadow. It is actually Gesijiana's own shadow! Gesijiana's own shadow actually stood up from the plane and launched a backstab attack towards Gesijiana!
"Puppet Shadow" is one of Atolli's true abilities. She can directly manipulate the enemy's shadow, turning it into a shadow monster that can backstab its master. This is an ultimate assassin that cannot be gotten rid of no matter what, follows you everywhere and at any time, and cannot be eliminated or avoided!
For weak enemies with low status, Atocori can use this ability at will and unconditionally, making the enemy's shadow become her assassin at any time. For powerful enemies with high status, Atocori has a prerequisite for using this ability, which is to attack the enemy's shadow as much as possible.
In the hand-to-hand combat between Atowili and Guskina, every attack on Guskina's shadow had an impact on her. Just now, when Atowili cut off the needle mountain and used the strong light to give Guskina the final blow, the influence in Guskina's shadow had been accumulated. Atowili successfully turned Guskina's shadow against her and made it stab Guskina in the back.
Under the force of the backstab of the rebellious shadow behind her, Gesijina was nailed to the ground from the back and front, and was completely unable to move for a moment. Because of the restraint of her own shadow, her body was also restrained, and she could not break away from the shadow's form and turn into a blood mist. If Gesijina attacked the shadow monster behind her now, she would be the one who got hurt.
Completely restrained, Gesijiana is now facing the shadow Atole who is sprinting towards her at full speed. The opponent seems to want to put an end to this battle. Now Gesijiana seems to have no room for resistance against Atole.
However, even so, there was still no anger on Gesijina's ugly face at this moment. Instead, there was a gradual revealing of pride.
"Ah... it hurts... it really hurts...
"Little devil, the pain you have caused me... is almost enough... Now it's time to put our positions back on track..."
Facing the shadow not far away, Guskina murmured so. As soon as Guskina finished speaking, the shadow representing Atowri suddenly stopped, and then after a period of instability, it quickly changed its shape. Then Atowri's real body emerged from the shadow, stood on the ground and shook for a while, then the spear and sword in her hand fell to the ground, hugged herself and opened her mouth.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Suddenly, a scream of pain broke out from Atole's mouth. She looked up at the sky with her eyes wide open and her pupils shrunken. Endless pain was revealed in her body. Looking at Atole's appearance, Geskina laughed arrogantly.
"Hahahaha! Little devil! Now you know! On this execution ground! Who is the one holding the whip?!"
"Torture Ruler" is the ability used by Guskina, and it is one of her golden abilities.
Gesijina can regard any battle as a torture. In a torture, there must be victims and sadists. This ability is to adjust the relationship between the victims and sadists.
In a battle, as long as one side causes damage and pain to the other side, the battlefield becomes a place of execution for Gusijiana. At the moment when the damage and pain occur, the two sides of the war establish a secret special connection, the connection between the victim and the sadist.
In this kind of relationship, the status of the victims and sadists on both sides of the enemy and us can be freely adjusted by Gesijiana. After being determined as a sadist, he will not feel any pain, while the sadist will feel all the pain, whether it is from the enemy or us, or even from the enemy and friendly forces. In a large-scale multiplayer melee, Gesijiana can even decide that there is only one victim and the rest are sadists. Then, the pain caused by the injuries of all people in the entire melee will be concentrated on one person.
After being strengthened by divinity, this adjustment also has a time delay, that is, Gesijina can store the pain borne by the abused, and then delay the outbreak, concentrating the pain and damage caused within a period of time on one person.
In other words, at the beginning of the battle with Atowli, Guskina adjusted herself to be the abuser and Atowli to be the masochist. Originally, the pain of her injury should have been borne by Atowli, but in order to prevent Atowli from noticing the abnormality and looking for a solution, Guskina delayed and stored this pain, and she also performed some deductions to confuse Atowli, in order to make the stored pain reach a maximum value that was enough to destroy Atowli's spirit in one breath, and then release the connection between them in one breath, just like now.
In order to prevent Atoli from suspecting that she was a traitor, Gaskina deliberately fought seriously and did not show any abnormal behavior such as intentionally harming herself or intentionally taking any harm.
This ability is somewhat similar to the disciplines of some suffering precepts, but it is completely different in nature. It is the adjustment and coordination of pain in battle, not anti-injury, because it can use this delayed burst of manipulation. The pain released is just pain, not "injury" that can actually destroy the body, but strong enough pain is enough to completely destroy a person's mind. Even if it is against an enemy who does not have pain, under the support of divinity, this Gesijina can attach the concept of pain to it.
With just one successful counterattack, Gelsina has now won the battle with Atolli...
…
When the thick fog just emerged from the dream world, when the barrier between dream and reality became thinner, the dark dream leader Gu Mian, who had been in the dream world, returned to the real world again and soared over Tivian in the fog.
However, at this moment, Gu Mian was not the only one who returned from the dream world. There was also another terrifying giant. Since it descended into the fog of the real world from the dream, it still did not stop hunting Gu Mian.
"roar!!!"
Spreading its huge wings, Dorothy, the incarnation of the dream dragon Paarthurnax, soared over the foggy sky of Tivian, chasing after its prey that escaped from the dream world.
After Gu Mian escaped from her hands when the door to the dream world opened, Dorothy has been chasing him, determined to destroy him.
After understanding Black Dream's purpose, Dorothy immediately informed Vanya to try to stop the actions of the cardinals of Mount Saint-Denis, but she had no confidence that Vanya could succeed. Although she had made up a verifiable story for Vanya through her previous contact with Artori, at this critical moment, she was not confident that this story would be able to convince most of the cardinals.
Therefore, Dorothy did not put all the pressure on Vanya. She was also making other efforts, such as hunting down Gu Mian.
According to the Black Cat, after the fog of confusion is dispelled and the holy cocoon appears, if Gumian wants to wake up the moth in the cocoon, he must touch the cocoon himself. So if Dorothy kills Gumian completely before this, even if Vanya fails and the fog is dispelled, she can still prevent the birth of Pan Moth.
Therefore, after emerging into the present world, Dorothy, who still maintained her dragon incarnation, continued to hunt down Gu Mian without stopping. Although Tivian was shrouded in fog at this moment, fortunately it was not too thick, and Dorothy still had a way to track Gu Mian's movements.
Dorothy's tracking method is to rely on the fragments of the lunar corona in her hand. The lunar corona has the effect of controlling the fog to a certain extent, and being able to control it means being able to sense it. At this moment, Gu Mian, who is escaping, is also using the two pieces of lunar corona fragments in his hands to control the fog in order to avoid getting lost, and clear the fog around him to escape. Dorothy only needs to use the lunar corona in her hand to sense whether there are any signs of unnatural dispersion in the surrounding fog, and she can track Gu Mian.
Dorothy and Gu Mian entered the real world at almost the same time and place, so they were very close to each other from the beginning. Dorothy used this method to quickly locate Gu Mian's position and kept chasing him.
At this moment, Gu Mian, who was holding the fragment of the lunar corona in his hand, could naturally sense that the giant dragon, which also held the lunar corona, was tracking him by sensing the movements of his fog. At this speed, it would catch up soon. Faced with such a situation, Gu Mian couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
"That damn spider leader, didn't he say that once the dream world opens and the fog dissipates, he would immediately hold a ceremony to let us know the location when the fog clears? Where on earth is he now? "
Gu Mian was thinking anxiously at this moment. According to their plan, at this moment when Gesijiana just opened the door to the dream world and the fog was still thin, she should have held a special lunar corona calling ceremony to activate her own lunar corona fragments and guide herself to Gesijiana's position. Then the two of them could use the lunar corona fragments to move freely in Tivian, which was shrouded in fog.
When Gu Mian just entered Tivian, he had been looking forward to the ritual contact of Gu Sijiana. As long as Gu Mian found Gu Sijiana, he could ask her to help deal with the powerful and difficult dragon behind him. But now Gu Sijiana was not moving at all. Gu Mian didn't know that Gu Sijiana was entangled in the battle with Atoli and couldn't get away to help him in a short time. He was extremely angry for a moment.
Gu Mian, who was unable to get help from Gusijina immediately, was extremely anxious when facing the giant dragon approaching from behind. At this moment, the only way to escape came to his mind.
"This is the only way now..."
While Gu Mian was making some difficult decision, the giant dragon transformed by Dorothy still relied on the detection of the moon corona on its body to fly quickly towards the direction of the fog disturbance. After continuing to speed up, it was finally about to catch up with the opponent.
After another roar, the dragon suddenly accelerated and finally caught up with the target, entering a circle with a lot of fog. Just as she was about to launch an attack, she found something unusual.
In the circle where the fog disappeared, Dorothy did not see the unusual shadow of Gu Mian. Instead, there was a huge white moth. Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward and grabbed the moth with a strong wind, breaking it into pieces. Then two black jades fell from the broken moth and were caught by Dorothy. They were the fragments of the Moon Corona held by Gu Mian!
"This is... the derivative created by that guy! He used the derivative to wrap these two pieces of black jade to create bait to lure us!"
Looking at the current scene, the virtual image of the black cat said in astonishment beside the dragon's head. Because he roughly knew how Dorothy tracked him, in the critical moment, Gu Mian chose to use the fragments of the lunar corona in his hand to create bait, and continued to mislead Dorothy in the fog, while he himself escaped into the mist without any fog-clearing means and became lost.
This is the only way for Gu Mian to escape in this situation. If Gu Mian directly closes the mist of the moon corona fragment in his hand and gets lost, the giant dragon not far from him is likely to immediately interpret his intentions. After judging the approximate direction in which he is lost, he will immediately come up with the mist of the moon corona in his hand and search around in an area, catching him who is completely lost in the direction, and the chance of being found is very high.
Therefore, Gu Mian could only use a trick to escape from the shell, and at the same time, he lost himself, and used the fragment of the lunar corona in his hand as bait to lead the dragon to a farther place, so that the chance of him being found was greatly reduced in a short time. The disturbance traces of the fog caused by two pieces of lunar corona fragments were different from that of one piece. If there was a difference, the dragon would definitely see it immediately. Therefore, Gu Mian used two pieces for his own absolute safety. Although he handed over the fragment of the lunar corona in his hand, he also gained temporary safety.
䀴This is the time when Gu Mian needs to be delayed...
“I’m so willing to give it up…”
Looking at the two pieces of lunar corona fragments she had just picked up, Dorothy, who had transformed into a giant dragon, made some comments. Just as she was about to use the three pieces of lunar corona fragments to dispel the fog and search for the sleeping Gu, something strange happened at the scene.
Light, the pure glory from the sun, descended from the sky and illuminated the earth. Under the shining light, the fog shrouding the city was suddenly dispelled for the most part, and the whole city emerged from the fog again.
At the moment the fog was dispelled, Dorothy looked at the other end of the city in the distance. A figure was spreading its wings and flying straight into the sky. When she looked closely, she saw a strange humanoid figure with insect wings. It was Gu Mian!
The target of Gumian's flight was the illusory shadow of the dream world forest in the sky. The light that shone on Tivian also shone on the dream world maze with a blurred boundary with Tivian. The thicker fog that was originally entrenched in the maze was gradually dispelled under the shining of this light.
As the light was approaching and dispersing, in the depths of the mist, a white cocoon was vaguely emerging, hanging between countless giant trees. Gu Mian was heading towards the cocoon, launching his final flight. During this process, his body seemed to resonate with the cocoon, emitting a strange glow, and rapidly expanding, and began to undergo changes that Dorothy had never seen before. It seemed that the nature of the entire existence was also undergoing some kind of change.
"Moth... I'm coming..."
Towards the high point in the sky, the white holy cocoon in the illusory dream world woodland is rapidly changing and starting its final pilgrimage.
