Chapter 127-126- Is this still human?
Another late night a few days later.
Located in the city center, the sharp top of the church pierces the night sky like a devil's horn. The Soul Fire Saint stands here, his black mist-like figure almost blending into the night.
He looked up at the night sky. Under the brilliant starlight, countless souls that could not be captured by the naked eye were wandering around, quietly sneaking into thousands of homes.
But this is not enough. He will let these souls possess ordinary people one by one, digging out their experiences and secrets to ensure that he can capture every clue.
Such behavior is naturally harmful to the spirits of ordinary people, and he doesn't want to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
But the time for the agreement between His Holiness the Pope and President John is approaching, and he must hurry.
A moment later, a block was silently inspected. Thousands of souls rose up like locusts, forming formations in the night sky and swooping down on their next target. If all went well, he could cover one-tenth of the city in just one night.
This is enough, because in another place, there are many necromancers of the Holy Church doing the same thing. With everyone working together, it only takes a maximum of two days to complete the investigation.
He closed his eyes and quietly controlled the souls to fly invisibly in the city. When they approached a slum called the Beehive, he suddenly felt that the number of souls he controlled had dropped sharply.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked in that direction. The black mist on his body boiled violently, as if expressing some emotions.
…
Inside the Beehive's rental apartment, the lights came on. Seeing Yvette standing at the door and gently knocking on it, Liana sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes and sleepily asking, "What's wrong, sister?"
Next to her, Zero was still sleeping, his slender limbs tightly wrapped around her like a clingy white octopus.
"The sect has discovered this place, you should prepare to move." Yvette said.
"Eh?" Liana suddenly woke up, but looked at Zero, thought for a moment, and didn't wake her up. She asked again, "Now?"
Yvette looked at the firefly in the living room and asked, "What's going on now?"
"Big Crisis, Friends!"
Firefly was actually quite safe, as this neglected puppet wasn't even on the wanted list. But she still looked nervous, yelling, "The Guardians and the police are on their way. They'll be here in ten minutes at the latest. And I saw the military's magical mechas on the surveillance camera! Liana, we need to hurry!"
In their plan, Liana, Zero, and Firefly would enter the sewers through a path known only to the locals, while Yvette would attract the cult's attention from above.
Of course, there will definitely be enemies in the sewer system, but the environment here is narrow after all. At most, there are some priests or undead. Magical mechas cannot enter, and honorable figures such as the Soul Fire Saint and the Reincarnation High Priest will definitely not appear.
Under such conditions, Liana can defeat those ordinary enemies on her own, and if that doesn't work, she can wake up Zero.
But Yvette never suggested waking up Zero. She thought that the best result was for Zero to sleep from beginning to end.
Once she wakes up, the plan may immediately get out of control and slide into an uncontrollable abyss.
"Okay!" Liana changed her clothes, got out of bed, and then put a small black cloak on the sleeping Zero.
Then, under the tight time pressure, the three of them came to the dim corridor outside the door.
Liana and Zero hid their faces with hoods and masks; Firefly held a rune rifle that came from nowhere; only Yvette, like snowflakes falling in the dark night, with flaming silver hair and a trailing black dress, was exposed in the turbid air without any cover, looking particularly bright and eye-catching.
Of course, this is exactly the effect she needs to attract attention.
They arrived at the entrance to the underground corridor, opened the hidden wooden door panel, revealing the passage below, and then everyone went their separate ways.
Liana didn't feel any difficulty holding Zero. She turned to Yvette and said, "Sister, you have to be careful!"
At this point, she felt a little regretful, thinking this was too dangerous and that they should just run away together. But she couldn't change plans she'd made at the last minute, something even a ten-year-old understood. She warned him earnestly, her eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry about me." Yvette smiled. "I'm much stronger than you think."
"Then...see you later." Liana looked at her deeply, a look of determination on her pretty face, and said to Yinghuo, "Let's go!"
Immediately, she hugged Zero tightly and disappeared into the depths of the underground corridor with Firefly.
…
After Liana and the others disappeared into the shadows, Yvette left the hidden entrance and used earth magic to cover it up to ensure that it would not be easily discovered.
Then she walked down the stairs to the ground level, and passed through a narrow honeycomb path that looked like an intestine, and arrived at the third floor of an old building.
At this time, the shrill sirens had sounded in the outer streets, breaking the tranquility of the night and startling countless tenants in cheap rooms.
But there were no shuttles flying in the sky, only evil spirits. The reason was very simple - the entire Fos River was in a "no-fly zone" state, and all wind element spells would automatically collapse. Only special forms of existence such as souls could fly in the sky.
Passing through the increasingly noisy corridor, Yvette saw that on the street outside, the police and priests had blocked the exit and began to advance in an orderly manner. On the street farther away, the magic mechas, like steel demons, took heavy steps, crossed the long street, walked to a relatively wide intersection, and stood there, serving as a heavy firepower turret.
The situation looked very dangerous, but Yvette looked very calm.
She organized her thoughts a little, then turned into a scarlet meteor, shot out from the broken window of the honeycomb, and slammed into the center of the street below!
Screams rang out, followed by shouts and questions. Without waiting for the encirclement to form, Yvette immediately turned around and, like an arrow from a bow, rushed towards the magic mecha at the nearest intersection.
"Looking for death." The pilot of the magic mecha sneered contemptuously, but it was no wonder that he thought so. Anyone who saw a person trying to challenge this steel-boned war monster with his individual strength would have the same thought.
Not to mention cyborgs or cyborgs, even top-level mages of level three or four wouldn't dare to do this!
With a cold smile, the heavy artillery mounted on the Magical Mecha's arms went into full blast, spewing deadly flames. Shells rained down like a shower of meteorites, while a denser stream of enchanted bullets and a shower of light composed of various destructive spells poured down upon the slender red figure like a violent storm.
No one would believe that any living creature could survive under such firepower. Even the top mages had to temporarily avoid the attack.
But surprisingly, Hongying did not fall down. Without the assistance of wind magic, her movements were not very agile. She tried hard to walk in an S-shaped curve to avoid the bombardment of heavy artillery, but the rain of bullets and the torrent of magic fell on her, but could not crush her.
Then, just as she approached within 20 meters of the magic mecha, something strange happened.
Her speed suddenly increased, and at the same time, a long sword made of pure white bones ignited out of thin air in her hand, with blazing flames rising and wrapping around the sword, like a flaming dragon rising into the sky!
In an instant, time seemed to freeze, the magical barrier shattered into starlight, and sword light, accompanied by waves of flames, streaked through the air. With the sharp sound of tearing metal, a precious magical mecha worth billions, of which there were only ten in the entire Rusted Free State, was chopped in half by the slender figure!
boom--
The earth-shaking explosion drowned out all the sirens, and the intersection was like a small sun rising. Flames and shock waves raged wildly, and metal fragments and road debris turned into a deadly rainstorm and shot out in all directions, leaving behind a mushroom cloud that swallowed the entire street intersection.
At the edge of the thick smoke, police, priests, soldiers... everyone was stunned. They had only received orders to find three little girls who had committed multiple serious crimes, threatened national security, and blasphemed the gods. How could they have imagined that these little girls' strength could be so terrifying?
Is this still human?
The church lets ordinary humans, ordinary cyborgs, and ordinary mages like them catch this kind of thing?
Who is arresting whom?
On the scorching earth, Yvette, clutching the flame-enchanted bone blade, slowly turned and discovered that the intense hail of bullets just moments before had now ceased. The fully armed enemy soldiers stared at her in silence, their guns raised but not daring to pull the trigger. Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
In fact, they still consumed a lot of Yvette's magic power. If they continue to consume it, the situation may turn around.
But if this were to happen, most of the people present would surely die, and the credit would be taken away by others who arrived later. No one would be willing to be the victim.
Under the silent smoke and dust, flames shot up into the sky, and the evil spirits flying in the sky finally couldn't bear it anymore.
They screamed and bit down, but were quickly consumed by the flames. Fire magic was already somewhat effective against spirits, and now that the spell had incorporated soul flames, if it were just ordinary evil spirits, they would be annihilated in no time.
After some evil spirits suffered severe consequences, the remaining evil spirits in the sky became more and more numerous, but none of them dared to come down.
These evil spirits all came from the necromancers among the priests. Once their evil spirits died, the attached spirits would be gone, and they would suffer the pain of their spirit bodies being torn apart. Seeing so many colleagues bending over in pain, the others certainly did not dare to continue trying.
For a moment, the situation on the field seemed to be at a stalemate. The silver-haired girl in the black skirt stood in place, holding a bone blade enchanted with flames, while the people in the encirclement stared at her, and no one dared to take action first.
Yvette thought this was fine, as she was just here to show off. But soon, she suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the roof of a nearby building. Sure enough, a dark shadow had been standing there quietly, looking down at her.
"Miss Wuming, you actually have this kind of strength. It's worth my while to come find you in person." Soul Fire Saint said.
Yvette looked at him quietly without answering, thinking in her heart, as expected, the other party only sent a specially refined clone, and no one knew where the real body was hiding.
Necromancers are really cowardly.
But fortunately, she has mastered the soul flame, and her elemental magic can produce very considerable effects even against purely spiritual enemies.
After a moment, seeing Yvette's indifferent silence, Soulfire Saint had some intention of testing her. He looked down at her from above, and a ferocious skeleton condensed around him, roaring and lunging towards her.
Yvette chopped it into pieces with a sword and then ran forward. She couldn't fly now, so she could only use inertia to rush up the stairs in one breath.
In the process, the bone blade in his hand transformed from raging fire into lightning that was more effective against the undead, and was mixed with the green light of soul flames.
As for why she chose melee combat instead of ranged spells, it was because she had already consumed a considerable amount of magic power in the previous battle. Soulfire Saint Si was quite possibly the strongest enemy she had ever encountered, so naturally she had to choose a strategy that would maximize the magic power consumption ratio.
Upon seeing this, the Soul Fire Saint immediately retreated. A large number of soul shadows floated out from the black mist around his body, condensing into several ferocious, fang-covered evil mouths, biting towards him.
Yvette then swung the bone blade, turning it into a silver and green web that cut the evil spirits into pieces.
Soon, the battlefield between the two men shifted from the ground to the rooftops of buildings. They jumped from one roof to another. From a distance, they looked like two erratic silhouettes under the vast starry sky, chasing each other, refusing to give in, sometimes colliding, sometimes separating.
Huge waves of elements and runes washed over every inch of the surrounding area. Even the slightest bit of lightning that leaked out was like lightning falling from the sky, easily splitting the ancient trees on the street that were as thick as several people hugged into charcoal.
Even from a distance of several streets, one could clearly feel the constant vibrations in the air, as if two ancient ferocious beasts were fighting fiercely.
At this moment, standing on a clock tower farther away, legendary journalist Cromwell raised his camera and excitedly shouted, "Holy shit... this is so fucking awesome!!"
"I want the whole world to see this live broadcast!!"
