"Above the sky: A weak soul bound by gravity can only regain freedom from the sky. As long as you touch any fulcrum from the ground, your magic power will stagnate and cannot be driven for 3 seconds; when you do not touch the fulcrum, all your magic spirit effects will play an additional 100% effect for 3 seconds."

"Affix identification reward: a small amount of space faction experience, a small amount of mana."

"Limited Affix Privilege: In the next Dream Bubble, you will trigger the positive effect of Above the Sky."

Five minutes before entering this dream bubble, Ash and the other three had already figured out this affix. After all, as soon as they came in, the sorcerers all wilted as if they couldn't breathe.

But when they triggered the formal battle, they found that the situation was completely different from what they had imagined!

Swish!

Ash activated the miracle 'Heart Pen', and the heart sword pen moved like a dragon, leaving ink marks in the air.

However, the Sanctuary of the Spear flapped its golden and silver wings and quickly rose above the Mohen defense network. Even if Ash immediately avoided the attack, the Sanctuary of the Spear skillfully leaned back and turned in the air, and the tip of the spear drew a half-moon trajectory, like a comet hitting Ash's Sanctuary!

Boom!

If each magic spirit effect is strengthened by 100%, then the miracle effect will be strengthened by at least three times! Ash's magic power to maintain the sanctuary is rapidly depleted and has fallen below the dangerous value of 30%!

On the contrary, the Spear Sanctuary was almost never hurt by Ash, whether it was the Heart Sword, Heart Pen or Wrath Sword. He used his flying ability to dodge all of Ash's attacks, and even Ash couldn't touch his Sanctuary even in close combat!

Ash is in desperate need of support, but the others are not much better off:

Sword Princess is fighting against Blade Wing Cart Dragon, which has a layer of sanctuary-like fur on its skin. The faster it is, the harder the fur becomes, and its resistances also increase rapidly. If it doesn't hit the weak spot, Sword Princess's burst damage is equivalent to a back rub;

If the witch gets entangled with the swordsmanship sanctuary, her aquatic line will be directly cut off, and she will be able to deal with it very reluctantly;

Weisser was the only one who did not get beaten, but if she was distracted for a moment, she would be immediately attacked by the virtual creatures.

In fact, according to the enemy's configuration, it should be Sword Lady attacking the Sword Sanctuary, the Witch restricting the Bladewing Cart, Ash and Visser entangled in the Spear Sanctuary, and then wait for Sword Lady and the Witch to deal with the enemy and then come back to rescue together.

However, due to the affix "Above the Sky" restricting the battlefield to the air, all their tactics could not be implemented - or rather, they wanted to implement tactics, but the virtual creatures destroyed their tactical arrangements with just their mobility.

Ash and his men's aerial combat capabilities are too weak.

Acceleration turns, loops, roll maneuvers, barrel roll maneuvers, pull-up maneuvers, half-roll reversals, cobra maneuvers... For people like Ash who can only fly forward and are not even familiar with the inverted perspective, the flying skills of the virtual creatures have reached a level that makes them feel a little dizzy. Apart from other things, they all have wings, and the flying speed of the virtual sanctuary is much faster than theirs - they really understand fluid mechanics.

When Ash and his friends figured out the first affix, they were quite confident. Isn't it just air combat? Isn't it just changing the battlefield from a flat plane to a three-dimensional one? Is it that difficult?

It's indeed difficult.

Even Sword Princess, who had prepared in advance, found that the difficulty was much higher than she had imagined.

For example, she thought this affix only made "enemies who are good at air combat stronger", but the result was that "all those who are not proficient in air combat will become useless" and were directly eliminated by the temporary version!

Ash felt that they were not fighting against enemies of the same level, but simply computers that were thrown into a ranked match against diamond tier enemies. There was not much difference between the two sides in other aspects. If it was a ground battle, Ash and his team would definitely be able to defeat the enemy, but it was their weakness in air combat that made them lose.

They wanted to arrange their opponents according to the magic restraint, but now it was not them who chose the path, but the creatures in the virtual realm, and their mobility did not allow them to change the path.

The only exception is Weisser. Her air combat ability is not weak. The virtual creatures wanted to fight the weakest Weisser from the beginning, but when they found that they could not defeat her in a short time, they turned to attack others.

But Weisser is not good at fighting, and the most she can do is help rescue her teammates.

"We can't go on like this!" Ash quickly escaped from the Spear Sanctuary, "Our magic power will run out sooner or later! Can you defeat the opponent!?"

“Ouch…” Diya dodged the pursuit of the Sword Saint Realm in frustration. Her silk thread could barely restrain the enemy. “Give me a little more time. If I trigger the aging effect a few more times, he will die!”

Diya is equipped with "Golden Collection: Flowing Golden River Water", the effect is "Your attack will continuously inject Flowing Golden River Water into the target, during which the target's mana consumption will be doubled, and there is a 5% chance to trigger the aging effect, causing the target to lose 20% of its current mana and slow down its reaction by 20%."

The requirement for this collection is that it must be effective continuously. It is naturally useless for Ash and Sonia, whose attacks are mainly based on instantaneous explosions. Diya's silk thread has the effect of controlling entanglement, so this collection is perfect for her.

In fact, this is true. In the previous fantasy bubbles, as long as Diya could hang the silk thread on the enemy, the enemy would quickly trigger the aging effect and lose its combat effectiveness.

Because of the powerful amplification of the golden collection, Diya has undoubtedly become the main output of this virtual realm exploration, but she cannot choose her opponent in the air battle and is forced to fight with the Sword Sanctuary that restrains her. The silk thread can't hang for long, and it has only triggered aging once so far, and she is still suppressed by the Sword Sanctuary.

hateful!

When they got the collection, the witch sisters were so excited that they thought they could be handsome tonight. They were just waiting to encounter a strong enemy and fight hard. Then she would handsomely defeat the enemy and go back to save Ash from danger. Then, of course, Ash was deeply fascinated by this side of her and couldn't help hugging her, while Sword Princess was still entangled by the virtual creatures and had no time to stop them. She could only watch the witch's complete victory...

Although it was indeed a fierce battle, she couldn't break the situation at all! And her enemy was restraining her swordsmanship. Diya almost thought that the virtual realm was hinting at something.

"It doesn't work on my end either." Sonia dodged the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon's pounce. The blood-colored waves of the 'Blood Moon Broken Lake' passed across its abdomen, and a piercing symphony of clanging steel erupted, but it couldn't even break its skin.

Sonia's collection tonight is "Silver Collection·Moon Shadow Master", the effect of which is "each attack can gain 1 layer of sanctuary damage reduction blessing, which lasts for 30 seconds, up to 10 layers", which means that it consumes the same amount of magic power, but Sonia's sanctuary can offset more damage. That is why she is qualified to fight against the Blade-winged Chariot Dragon head-on.

The best time to attack a Bladewing Dragon is when it stops, but this beast always rushes far away and flies high into the sky before swooping down, much faster than Sonia.

The most annoying thing is that after Sonia severely damaged its wings with Meteor for the first time, it would shoot out steel feathers to trigger Meteor every time it dived.

It’s not that the village girl’s Meteor Robbery cannot defend against long-range attacks. The principle of this move is to trace the source through the attack trajectory, but the problem is that the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon itself is also in a high-speed moving state, which means that when Sonia chops back, it is no longer in the original place.

If Meteor Robbery doesn't work, Chelong's quasi-sanctuary fur can block all of Sonia's attacks. When it moves fast, Sonia can't even shave its fur. The sword light waves falling on it are like petting a dog.

"Focus on the situation." Ash said, "Two people focus on one target, and the other person and Weisser try to tie up the two targets—"

"I have an uncertain idea." Weisser suddenly said, "I need you to fly close to the ground and give me time to test different possibilities. Of course, it's okay for me to get involved. I'll listen to the captain."

"Then let's test the possibility." Ash immediately decided. Logically speaking, even if two people focused their fire, it would be difficult to quickly kill a target - the virtual creatures were not fat, wouldn't they fly when they were hit? On the ground, they could surround and block the road, and in the air, they could easily fly away with three-dimensional maneuvers.

"But the concentrated fire plan must also be carried out simultaneously. We can't delay it any longer. Sword Princess, you and the witch--"

"Captain, do you have enough mana reserves?" Weisser asked, "We need to engage two enemies."

"I'll distract them, you and the witch will focus the fire." Sonia said immediately: "I have the Moon Shadow Master, my sanctuary is stronger than yours."

Time was running out, Ash nodded and said, "Okay! Weisser, keep an eye on Sword Princess, and give her priority assistance if she's in danger! Go down!"

The four of them immediately crashed down into the steel forest. This illusory country was probably the Blood Moon Kingdom, with tall buildings and a bustling city. However, Ash and his men had been fighting for so long that the people on the ground had long since fled.

After the flight altitude decreased, Ash and the others became more careful - as long as they touched any fulcrum, their magic power would stagnate, and not only would the sanctuary dissipate, but they would also fall from the air.

The fulcrums naturally include the walls of high-rise buildings, balcony railings, and any fulcrums that can be traced back to the ground will violate the negative effects of "high above the sky".

The virtual creatures also followed suit. Compared to Ash and the others, they seemed more at ease. Even the Blade Winged Cart Dragon was as graceful as dancing ballet on an egg. It was for this reason that Ash chose the sky as his battlefield. After all, the threat posed by tall buildings to them was much greater than that posed by the virtual creatures.

When the distance between the Sword Sanctuary and the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon shortened, Sonia made a looping slash to attack the Sword Sanctuary. At the same time, Diya accelerated her flight, flicked her ten fingers, and the silk thread wrapped around the body of the Spear Sanctuary!

When the Sanctuary of the Spear tried to cut the thread, Ash performed a pulling maneuver and intercepted the spear with the Heart Sword, buying time for Diya to trigger the "Golden River" special effect.

The creatures in the virtual world are not teammates, they just execute the best combat strategies according to their instincts. Now that Sonia is willing to fight one against two, the Sword Sanctuary and the Blade-winged Chariot Dragon naturally don't mind using their numbers to bully the few.

However, after several rounds, even though Sonia had the "Moon Shadow Master" collection to enhance her defense, her magic power was still dissipating rapidly like a flood.

Unlike ground combat, when facing multiple hostile targets, Sonia can use the terrain to minimize the attack surface, but in air combat, the enemy's attack possibilities are too many and she can't defend against them at all!

Moreover, the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon and the Sword Saint formed a tacit cooperation. Whenever she defended one of them, the other one would take the opportunity to attack from the blind spot, forming an almost airtight suppression.

Sonia suddenly understood how Zhan Yulong felt - when they were in the Sea of ​​Knowledge before, she and Ash had also abused and teased Zhan Yulong in the same way.

Things change over time, the virtual world is in a good cycle...

But I'm not a stepping stone like the dragon that kills fish!

Sonia lowered the flying altitude again and took risks by sneaking through the buildings. This time, the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon and the Swordsmanship Sanctuary also had to pay attention to their positioning. In some places, the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon even had to retract its wings. The two could not form a rhythm together, and Sonia suddenly felt the pressure greatly reduced.

At this moment, Sonia suddenly heard the sound of fighting next to her. She turned her head and saw Ash and his men fighting in the building behind her. She immediately changed her flying direction and turned to the street corner. However, the Blade-winged Dragon was pressing down from above. She could only continue to lower her altitude and speed up.

Bang!

A neon sign of "Mimosa" appeared in front of her, and it was too late to dodge!

The moment she hit the sign, the magic power in her body stagnated, the holy field was released, and the virtual wings collapsed. She smashed the glass of the sign and fell.

The effect of "Above the Sky" will last for 3 seconds. Sonia's magic power has not yet recovered, but the wing blades of the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon are already in front of her, and a huge shadow covers her vision.

She is doomed!

Perhaps because of the hit on her head, Sonia's mind went blank. But when she saw Ash turning and flying towards her from the corner of her eye, a strange color glowed in his ruby ​​eyes -

boom!

With a loud bang, the Blade Winged Dragon flew over Sonia and crashed into the ground like a derailed train. The Sword Art Sanctuary also broke its wings and fell, smashing into mud with a bang.

"Luckily we made it in time." Weisser's voice rang out from above. "The second affix is ​​that falling buildings will cause a powerful negative effect."

Weisser flew in front of Sonia, waited for the head of the Claw Club to jump up, then held her up and pulled her up, smiling and explaining, "Since the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon is not afraid of the stagnation of magic power, why does it also dive in the air instead of choosing a more efficient ground bounce? The latter is much stronger than a dive in terms of speed and destructive power. The reason is indeed that the Blade-Winged Chariot Dragon is afraid of the building itself."

As Weisser explained, a piece of information also flowed into the minds of the magicians.

"Overturned Tower: The dust bathed in the tower's shadow will witness the collapse of everything. Targets hit by any collapsed building will be stunned for 10 seconds."

"Affix identification reward: a small amount of space faction experience, a small amount of mana."

"Limited Affix Privilege: In the next Dream Bubble, you can trigger the Overturned Tower effect once."

"Thank you." Sonia, who had nearly died, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "If you weren't here, I might have to wait another ten days before I could enter the Void Realm."

"You're welcome. Aren't we friends who help each other?"

"Then..." Sonia said a little embarrassedly: "My magic power has recovered, you don't have to hold me so tightly."

Weisser held her back with one hand and her waist with the other, almost rubbing her into her body. Weisser also stared into the girl's eyes, and their noses touched. This social distance had reached a level that made the girl shy.

"Excuse me." Weisser let go of her hand and said politely, "You are a fascinating person."
