"My colorful wings are still there."
In the chaos, Vichy wielded the barbell to defend against the attack from the side. There happened to be a gym on the ground floor of the mall, and the 20-kilogram barbell was the ideal heavy long weapon for Vichy. Unfortunately, Vichy was tired and injured, and even with Ash's "Music Sword" endurance, she couldn't blow up the enemy's dog head like she did at the beginning, and could only focus on defense.
But Ash still clearly felt Vichy's strength - she was about 1.6 meters tall, but she had no difficulty swinging the 2.2-meter barbell, especially in a melee, where she was very adept at using the recoil of the enemy's force to turn the barbell. The heavy barbell in her hands was as light as she was.
Whether it's Ash or Nia, there are always times in battle when they have to fight hard and use their strength to deplete the enemy's strength.
But Vichy is different. Her fighting is like a well-lubricated machine. Every gear rotates precisely, and all the power is transmitted to the terminal without any loss according to her wishes. Even if no miracle is used, she herself is a miracle.
Among the people Ash knew, perhaps only Tamashi could be compared to him.
The spear and halberd are just one of Vichy's legendary magic.
Ash once asked Vichy why she liked to use long weapons, and she replied that she liked long and big things. To be honest, Ash felt that this reason might be true, and Vichy was not just teasing him.
Because her body is relatively petite, and her major is the "problem-solving" technique of soul prophecy, she can only satisfy her inner desire for violence when she crushes her enemies with a huge weapon.
A magician’s heart can be seen by looking at his blade.
Ash kept reminding himself that no matter how Vichy behaved, she was always a ruthless venomous snake and a cruel python. The ruby chain gave Ash a maid who could do whatever he wanted, but also created an undying enemy for him.
Vichy didn't notice Ash's thoughts and continued, "The mysterious chain only broke my exposed silver and gold wings, and the fire spirit is still in my soul. In other words, the mechanism of the mysterious chain is aimed at the "mystery" itself, not a specific individual, so my colorful wings and heterochromatic wings were not affected."
"That sanctuary——"
"The mysterious chain will target the virtual wings of the color of the magic power you use to drive the sanctuary." Weishi speculated, "Even miracles may be like this. When we cast spells, the magic spirits do not appear, but hide in our souls. If the mysterious chain can trace the mysterious phenomenon, it is very likely that it will only trace back to the virtual wings of our souls."
Ash nodded silently. As a direct victim and a resurrected demigod, Vichy's guess could be used directly as a conclusion. Although the mysterious chain would not directly destroy an individual, the fact that it could break a virtual wing was enough to scare the magician.
If Nia had not appeared, Ash would have had to lose at least the Rainbow Virtual Wings and the Different Color Virtual Wings in order to break the deadlock.
"Can your silver wings and gold wings be restored?" asked Ash.
Wei Xi's expression was cold: "Theoretically, it is impossible. A magician cannot return to the lower level of the Void Realm, so naturally, he cannot regenerate the Void Wings. The path of a magician has always been a road of no return. Only a very small number of magicians can freely travel between different levels of the Void Realm. But if I can do this, then the Void Wings won't matter."
"Can't you steal the souls of other magicians?" Ash asked, "You just lack some soul magic spirits, right?"
Upon hearing this, Vichy could not help but glance at Yaxiu, and explained faintly, "Ordinary soul seizure is relatively simple, but because the soul and body are incompatible, my thinking ability, memory, and even the realm of magic will continue to decline. To achieve perfect soul seizure, you need an extremely precious magic spirit that must be created by me. I only have one share left in the ghost inheritance that can be cast once, and because I have never used it before, I found that the magic formula has major flaws when I used it for the first time, and I had to consume three thousand resentful souls to barely activate the miracle. In every sense, I can't activate the second soul seizure."
"I see," Ash said, "If you bring out those ghosts, then Silver Lantern and I will be dead in the Spiral of Silence, right?"
"Not only you, but also those three gods can be in my hands." Wei Xi said coldly: "However, Master, why did you take the initiative to propose to seize the souls of other magicians? Haven't you always restrained me from doing evil? Or do you also want to learn the most bizarre and difficult to understand soul magic?"
Hearing the title 'Master', Nia turned her head and looked at them.
"I'm afraid that your combat power will drop too much and become a burden. Anyway, it shouldn't be difficult to find a Sanctuary Warlock who has committed a heinous crime." Ash killed a blood-mad hunter with his two swords and said, "If it's troublesome, forget it."
Silver and gold wings are extremely important to magicians. Even if magicians do not have the secret poison to convert magic power, these two wings are the most perfect flying ability for magicians. After Vichy lost these two wings, she had to wait until she condensed the fourth complete virtual wing to regain her original flying ability. Before that, she could only rely on magic spirit miracles to move in the air.
Moreover, even a mudblood magician like Ash could vaguely feel that a complete Void Wing was extremely important to a magician, just like a person has ten fingers. Although some fingers are rarely used, losing those fingers will definitely greatly affect the quality of life.
"Isn't it better if I'm weaker?" Vichy smashed the griffin's head with a stick and said sarcastically, "It would be best if I could become a complete mortal and meow in front of you like a pet every day. This kind of maid is the master's favorite, right?"
"No matter how weak you are, you are still a scourge." Ash replied, "I'm just afraid that you'll be too weak and die suddenly, and be reborn from the Soul Box to break free of your chains. I don't want to worry about your revenge every day."
Wei Xi retorted: "Don't you worry about my revenge when I'm locked up?"
The two of them tacitly did not mention Vichy's help just now. Perhaps they both knew that this was just the effect of the ruby chain. When Ash was in danger, Vichy was both his deadly spear and his selfless shield. Or perhaps they had not figured out how to deal with it.
"Can't you all use those super powers?" Niya, who had been listening silently to the killing of the enemies, suddenly asked.
"At least not now. We need to meet certain conditions before we can use those abilities." Ash finally had time to ask, "Niya, why are you here?"
"I don't remember us being able to call each other by our first names."
"Ms. Servi." Ash readily agreed, "Why didn't you drink from the Holy Grail and appear in the square?"
After a moment of silence, Nia said, "I also want to obtain your superpowers, so I have been waiting for the Holy Grail to be filled. Then those monsters appeared, and I fought and fled, running to the square and using the terrain to resist the monsters."
No wonder the commercial plaza was packed with monsters, it turns out they were all Niya’s lapdogs.
As for why she was in this area, she didn't answer, and Ash didn't ask. After all, this was a commercial district, and perhaps her hiding place was nearby, or perhaps... the serial killer also wanted to go shopping?
"Can you resist the power of the Holy Grail?" Ash was a little surprised. Other mortals fell down after drinking the Holy Grail the first time, not because of poor self-control. Even magicians like them had to concentrate to resist the aroma of the Holy Grail. Of course, it might also be that Ash's nose had been damaged after smelling the stench of corpses for too long.
"It's hard, but you'll get used to it." Nia looked at him seriously: "After I drink it, can I become 'special' like you guys?"
It is indeed so.
Ash sighed inwardly and replied, "I don't know either... but at least you can benefit from it."
After taking a sip of the Silver Holy Grail, Fili did not grow the seventh virtual wing, but her physical fitness improved a lot. Niya's expectations for the Golden Holy Grail might be dashed.
After all, they are not the real body, and no matter how hard they try, they are just shadows that do not deserve rewards.
Ash skipped the topic and said, "Be careful, there is another enemy who is proficient in sniping rifles hiding in the dark. He will not aim until one second before shooting. Can you handle it?"
Nia didn't take it seriously when she heard the previous part, but when she heard 'aiming will be done one second before shooting', she immediately became serious and nodded after thinking for a moment: "No problem."
"Come to think of it, we have already escaped, but the sniper has not made any movement." Wei Xi said, "Did he leave?"
Ash and his two companions did not stay in the square, but instead fought their way out by relying on the advantage of three-person cooperation. If they stayed in the same place for a long time, they would be easily blocked by high-level soldiers. Instead, mobile warfare could better play to their advantages.
Moreover, the sniper could shoot through walls, so there was no difference between indoors and outdoors. After Nia joined the team, they were already able to deal with the monster army with ease, so Ash and Vichy immediately changed their minds - they wanted to lure the sniper to shoot again to determine the opponent's position, and then kill him to force him to appear!
Vichy was a vengeful lunatic. She had accumulated a lot of resentment when she was restrained by Ash. How could she be willing to endure someone else's conspiracy? And Ash knew very well that facing a sniper of this level, dodging was equivalent to slow death. Only by dragging the opponent into the quagmire of battle could he increase his chances of survival!
In the Star Cage, the boundary between hunter and prey is always blurred.
But the sniper seemed to realize that he was no longer a threat to them and decisively stopped sniping. He might have hidden himself and waited for the right opportunity, or he might have gone to look for other prey.
At this time, a rainbow beam of light appeared in the distance. However, unlike the beam of light at the location where the Six Nations Legion had their troops, this rainbow beam of light was very thin, and they might not be able to spot it unless they had sharp eyes.
After a few seconds, Ash and Vichy felt a very clear miracle fluctuation, which was at least legendary in scale. At the same time, a huge black coffin appeared at the location of the rainbow light column. Although it disappeared after a moment, all the tall buildings in the area were reduced to ashes!
"The legendary technique of shadow magic!" Vichy recognized it immediately.
Then, they all saw rainbow beams of light moving, which looked like they were fleeing.
Nia suddenly patted Ash on the shoulder. Ash turned around and found a rainbow beam of light appeared in another location!
"That's the vision after drinking from the Holy Grail!"
Wei Xi blurted out: "It may be because of the magic power, but it is more likely that the quantitative change of the rainbow nectar caused a qualitative change. The hidden mechanism of the golden holy grail should be that when the rainbow nectar accumulates to a certain level, it can increase the seventh virtual wing. But if you drink the holy grail at this time, a very conspicuous rainbow light column will appear on your body!"
“Even if the monster army will let the drinker go, others will be able to see the rainbow beam! Anyone who can wait until this time to drink the Holy Grail can basically be treated as a magician or demon from another team!”
"This is the true killer move of the Source Angel. Our rivalry with the Six Nations Legion is just the opening ceremony of the stage. Our mutual slaughter is the finale that the Source Angel wants to see!"
It was only then that Ash and the others got a glimpse of the full picture of the second angel hunt. Unlike the first, the prey of the second hunt, the White Bull, was already dead at the beginning, but the hunt had just begun, and the magicians were both hunters and prey!
The Source Angel cleverly separated the magicians and ordinary people. Ordinary people would fall into a coma after drinking the Holy Grail at the beginning. Only the magicians had enough ability and greed to endure until the Holy Grail was full, thus ruining their last retreat!
At this point, Ash and his friends must hold on to the end, otherwise they will become a sleeping Easter egg that announces their location to the entire server!
despair!
The sound of the legion's galloping footsteps could be heard from the alley ahead. Ash and his men clenched their weapons, ready to break through the interception.
However, the one who ran out of the alley was a blonde girl holding a bamboo sword. She turned around and saw Ash, and was also startled, and then shouted in surprise: "Ah--"
"Be careful of snipers!" Ash yelled, rushing forward with two swords held upside down.
Bang!
The sniper seized the opportunity accurately and the deadly bullet streaked across the sky!
