Chapter 317: A lot of pressure

Hammers Mining Area.

The spring was bright and sunny, with a gentle breeze, but Nick could not feel any warmth at all.

He investigated all areas where the miners lived and found that there was no precedent for what was happening here.

Some unknown evil creature uses blood as a medium of transmission, and those contaminated creatures will only realize that something is wrong with them after a very short period of time.

After only one or two seconds of reaction time, he was replaced by a monster.

It sounds a bit like a shapeshifter, but it's completely different.

The shapeshifter needs to observe a person for a period of time before it can transform into that person - not only the body, but also the clothes and even the tools held can be simulated. Of course, the weight of this person cannot be too different from his, that is to say, the shapeshifter cannot change its body size indefinitely.

The Shapeshifter can also copy a person's voice, way of thinking, style of doing things, professional knowledge and skills, etc. This is because it can copy the victim's brain characteristics and mind, or in other words, soul.

But no matter what, fake is fake after all, and the church has several covert means to distinguish them.

The problem now is very tricky. Nick's own means are not enough to tell which miners have been replaced by monsters.

He wasn't even sure if the guards had been replaced besides these men.

After the miner got into trouble, a pastor went to check, but he couldn't confirm whether the pastor was infected.

After checking, the pastor returned to the church in the mining area. If there was a problem with the pastor, the entire mining area might no longer be safe.

Nick rubbed his temple irritably and ordered, "Pass my order. The mining area is temporarily closed. Also, notify Hamers City to send troops to surround the mining area."

Yusuf stepped forward with a slightly worried look on his face: "As you wish."

After he left, Nick called the attendant forward:

"Send a secret letter to Rhine City, informing Lord Crown and Lord Fanny of the current situation in the mining area."

He would rather face evil monsters than deal with such mystery-like cases.

The only person in the new parish who could quickly investigate such situations was Lorraine, but she was transferred to Rhine City, so things became difficult.

The message was passed to Crown, hoping that he could send Lorraine back to assist in the investigation.

Crown appeared relaxed on the surface, but he was tense inside.

He spread out the light of his soul, monitoring the situation within a hundred meters around his body.

With such a long monitoring distance, we can still react even if we encounter sudden situations.

Five minutes passed and nothing was found, but the enemy's Chimera troops began to take off and flew towards the location of the airship troops.

When the enemy came, Crown could no longer maintain his state of investigation, but he released bullet time, ready to fight at full strength and end the battle quickly.

He had killed some Chimera and Silver-level enemies in the past few days, and had no time to burn the bodies that he could not take away. He would not make the same mistake again this time.

After killing him, you must use the Yangyan technique to burn him again, grinding his bones into ashes.

Because he had not been seen for some time, the number of enemy Chimeras actually increased.

The wings behind him flapped suddenly, as if he had teleported. In an instant he had crossed a distance of thirty or forty meters and rushed towards the enemy flying in front.

In the spiritual vision, the enemy's strength is revealed, a silver-level driver and a top-level third-level Chimera.

The wings flapped again, and Crown felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and his flying speed dropped sharply.

If Purinton were in the same situation, he would tell him that the feeling was exactly the same as when he was fighting, when he was trapped in the time clockwork force field.

On the airship in the back, Eliza saw Clown rushing into the enemy camp. Her hand holding the railing suddenly tightened and she exclaimed: "Isn't he being too arrogant? The two-headed chimeras are all flesh and blood alchemical creatures above level three. If he is surrounded, wouldn't it be..."

'You care now?'

Flanders suppressed his smile and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, Crown is very good at this kind of thing." His words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

The archbishop saw that two huge jellyfish-like creatures suddenly appeared above and below Crown.

These creatures, which are supposed to live in the ocean, float gracefully in the air, almost transparent, like two large bowls facing each other.

Their tentacles are thirty meters long and overlap each other like a web.

Under the sunlight, the jellyfish shines with colorful light.

"What is that?" Eliza's heart ached again.

Somla saw two "jellyfish" appear and the enemy had already entered the encirclement. He clapped his hands and laughed, "It's done!"

Some time ago, the camp wanted to ripen a fifth-level creature, but it required too much life essence and many rare spiritual objects, which could not be gathered at once.

When he was getting extremely worried, two fifth-level soul-eating jellyfish revived in the Holy City of Gods. Soul-eating jellyfish are also powerful creatures among the fifth-level creatures, and are particularly good at mental spells and stealth.

He was overjoyed to learn that they were sent by a god who happened to be half-conscious to assist him, and he made this ambush plan.

He waited for a long time and finally waited until today. The enemy was also very cooperative and ran headfirst into the trap he had woven. How could he not be ecstatic?

Compared to the colorful and beautiful appearance of the soul-eating jellyfish in the sun, Crown felt a deadly murderous intent.

For some reason, his seventh sense was blocked, and he didn't notice anything until danger was about to happen.

He felt a strong sense of dizziness, as if a red-hot iron rod was inserted into his head and was being stirred vigorously. It was obvious that he was under a powerful mental spell.

You should know that he has a good habit of stacking up buffs before fighting. No matter whether he can use them or not, he must stack up any status-related skills he knows.

Before the battle, he released the Heart Purification Spell. At the same time, with the passive effects of Light Will, Spirit Control and Beast Taming, his will resistance far exceeded that of his peers.

Even he suffered a great loss. The enemy's level was obvious, and he must be a fifth-level extraordinary person.

As for why it is not level six, it is because of the confidence of the cheater.

After practicing for so long, he has gradually figured out that his current abilities increase with the spiritual concentration of the world.

How powerful the creatures the world could accommodate yesterday, today he has reached that height.

Seeing that the prey was not knocked down immediately, the two soul-eating jellyfish felt the enemy's good luck at the same time.

The innate ability of their race is powerful mental magic, and they are rarely matched among people of the same level. Now the combined ambush of the two failed to subdue the enemy instantly, which means that the enemy either has extremely strong resistance to mental magic, or has rare items to resist attacks.

The first factor can be ignored. As fifth-order creatures, they can actually resist the impact of the innate spells of two soul-eating jellyfish. Only creatures with the bloodline of the first generation of the Son of God can do so.

The enemy is the bloodline of the first Son of God? Of course not.

The enemy was obviously impacted just now, which means that the enemy's magic weapon's defense has been penetrated.

Just a little more effort and you can enjoy a delicious meal.

The Soul-Eating Jellyfish's tentacles glowed again, trying to release its innate spell - Psychic Scream.

Thanks to his strong will resistance, Crown's dizziness time after being attacked by spells is extremely short.

The moment he returned to normal, he went into full force.

First, he immediately swallowed two drops of moonlight to quickly eliminate the side effects of the spell. At the same time, the sand of time in the hourglass quickly decreased, and a state where time stood still appeared.

He activated the seal in his hand, and with a light shout, a field of golden light was released.

The area within a hundred meters was filled with dazzling golden light, making the sun in the sky seem dim.

This time he did not hold back at all, and burst out with all his strength. The spiritual power fluctuations belonging to a fifth-level transcendent transformed into an invisible shock wave that spread in all directions.

The enemy has already sent out two of the same level to surround and kill him. If he wants to hold back, he may have to go back to study Das Kapital.

The golden light field suppresses and expels any polluting laws, and increases the power of all golden light spells.

The stage is set, and he’s about to start singing!

First, take advantage of this opportunity to fly to the edge of the enemy's web and take out two talismans.

The silver Taiyin Thunder Seal is activated using a special technique, delaying the explosion and throwing it towards the enemy above.

Then calculate the time to activate the Sun Thunder Seal, which is also a delayed explosion, and throws it towards the enemy below.

The rose-gold wings flapped wildly, and it tried desperately to leave the scene.

While escaping, he did not forget to take out Thunderfury, release the magic crow, and use the skill of Shapeshifting to stay away from the scene as much as possible.

If he activated the Sun Thunder Seal or the Moon Thunder Seal alone, he would not be afraid of the impact of the explosion as long as he was more than thirty meters away from the explosion site.

However, if both are activated at the same time, it will bring about an annihilation effect, which is much more terrifying.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Even he, after putting on the last bit of armor, did not dare to try to get close to the annihilation black hole.

What is the most inconspicuous special effect of the hourglass? Without a doubt, it is timing, accurately controlling the passage of time. Now this effect has helped him a lot.

The positive force when the Sun Thunder Seal explodes and the negative force when the Moon Thunder Seal is activated will collide to cause a highly efficient annihilation effect.

If the Thunder Seal is activated at a different time, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The two soul-eating jellyfish also noticed the enemy's escape, but neither of them had time to pay attention because they both felt the deadly breath of death spreading.

The speed of the soul-eating jellyfish race is barely at the bottom among its peers. It is simply too late for them to escape now.

They simultaneously withdrew their attacks, separated their tentacles and curled up their bodies, then used their two life-saving skills, mental shield and virtualization.

The mental shield can condense into a cocoon around the body with mental power to resist any type of attack. The virtualization can hide the body into the subspace and greatly reduce the damage received.

At this moment, the two soul-eating jellyfish suddenly felt relieved. No opponent in the same level could kill them in this state, not even if they were seriously injured.

Bright silver and red gold burst out, and the power of yin and yang became even more violent after being blessed by the golden light field.

The gold and silver colors collided with each other in an instant, and the twisted black void spread out in all directions.

The light was also swallowed up, and there was like the entrance to an endless abyss, with endless deathly silence.

The soul-eating jellyfish that had disappeared reappeared and was then swallowed into the darkness.

If anyone sees this darkness, all spirits will be attracted to it, no matter how far away they are.

Somla was looking up, an expression of ecstasy frozen on his face; on the airship, Flanders and his companions also saw this scene, and time also stopped at this moment.

Black holes appear quickly and disappear just as quickly. As they disappear, everything they swallowed also disappears.

When Crown looked back, all the light and shadows had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

The two fifth-level creatures disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

The Chimera flying in the front maintained a strange posture as it rushed forward, and the driver on it also looked dazed.

In order to make the performance more realistic, the drivers were not informed of the plan by the witch doctor.

This unlucky guy was flying in the front position, and when the power of annihilation erupted, he had no way to dodge.

Then, Clown saw a scene that frightened him. The Chimera and its driver in the front looked like a sand sculpture that had been buried for many years and then saw the light of day again. When the breeze blew, it turned into a sky full of black sand.

"Fuck, it's really like grinding bones and scattering ashes. My two talismans were also reimbursed, but I didn't get any spoils at all, I..."

Somla came to his senses and his brain short-circuited for a moment.

He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where are the gods' followers? Are they gone just like that?"

For some reason, he felt a chill down his spine. Those were two fifth-level creatures, the most powerful beings in the current material world.

Pritton was confused and spoke with difficulty: "What kind of attack method is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

When he came to his senses, he only saw the Chimera turning into flying sand.

It was obvious that the two monsters that attacked Clown had completely disappeared, and even the Chimera that was some distance away was attacked invisibly.

Purinton didn't know what level the driver of the Chimera was, but given the nature of this alchemical creature, it could only be controlled by a third-level creature.

The attacking monsters were at least at the fourth level.

The sight of a huge creature disintegrating into tiny particles of dust was quite shocking, as Plimpton had no idea what was happening.

He turned his head and asked, "Can the limit of a fourth-level transcendent produce such an effect?"

Flanders' mood at this moment was more complicated than anyone else's. He recognized the origins of the two attackers and judged the levels of these two creatures.

Level five, absolutely level five!

Two fifth-level soul-eating jellyfish ambushed a fourth-level transcendent and were killed in the counterattack. Unless he was crazy, he would believe this script.

"Boy, you have definitely achieved the fifth level without making any noise! ​​I must give you a good trial."

A look of surprise just appeared on the archbishop's face, but then he immediately gave a wry smile.

He must be really crazy to dare to interrogate a fifth-level transcendent.

Eliza was less shocked because, due to her vision and strength, she couldn't understand what was going on, nor did she understand the significance of everything that had just happened.

She saw that Clown had escaped from the trap, and a smile appeared on her face from the bottom of her heart. She said with a smile:

"It was dealt with so quickly, the cultists weren't that strong.

Uncle, you said you were under a lot of pressure, are you lying to us?"

That's it?! If I hadn't come to see it myself, I would have believed your nonsense about "being under a lot of pressure". It's obvious that you are suppressing the enemy.

After Crown survived the danger, his mind worked frantically.

The enemy has already made such calculations. If he continues to stay in this camp, he might end up in trouble in the future.

A fifth-level enemy has appeared. His advantage has been greatly reduced. He can’t wait any longer and must attack.

He immediately rushed forward. These Chimeras were the enemy's last air units.

As long as they are killed, the airship bombing troops only need to drop bombs from high altitude to turn the camp into ruins.

The golden wings spread out, shining brightly in the sun, but in the eyes of the attacking Chimera, it was as if the god of death had raised his scythe.

Run! The riders suddenly pressed down on the heads of their mounts. Only by landing would they have a chance to survive.

But they are already at a very high altitude, is there still a chance of escape?
