Chapter 206 Dragon Blood Law
Outside, dark clouds rolled in and thunder rumbled low.
With the sound of lightning, the great guardian wrapped in a layer of lightning rushed over with the griffin.
He asked Grand Judge Shafiya, who was parked outside the house, in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Shafiya... am I late?"
“A little.”
Shafiya yawned, her interest diminishing. "It's not a big deal, though. Just stay outside. There's no room inside."
In her opinion, it would be impossible for three extraordinary people of the same level who had the home advantage to surround and kill a fifth-level extraordinary person who was almost dying of old age and was not fighting at home.
She came all the way here this time simply because Meg lacked the ability to move at high speed.
Both the Grand Guardian and Master Janice possessed the ability to arrive at the scene instantly. Meg, though immensely powerful, lacked the mystical skill to quickly reach the battlefield, just like the Grand Justice.
Compared to Grand Justice, Meg, the strongest being in Avalon, couldn't even fly. Previously, on the battlefield, Meg was able to hold off the battle for a day thanks to Shafia's assistance.
It’s just that Shafiya doesn’t like to be in the spotlight - she is very aware of her role as a supporter, which is not to let the opponent know that you are a supporter.
She also didn't plan to take action this time. She just wanted to move her fingers slightly, send Meg over, and then watch outside.
As long as the Bone Sculpture didn't plan to escape or do anything serious, she wouldn't take action. Otherwise...
As soon as she thought of this, she keenly felt that the power of the Tao was fluctuating more and more violently.
"...You really enjoy causing trouble for me."
Shafiya, who was too lazy to do anything, looked towards the house with disgust and raised the staff in her hand.
——Spell counter.
No chanting or complicated movements were required. With a simple thought, Shafiya suddenly lit up in front of the staff, a white triangle symbol surrounded by a maze of curves.
It made a clear and melodious sound like hitting a triangle, and then instantly became blurred and dispersed into three-color rainbow light with double images.
The massive surge of magical power that had just risen in the room like a tsunami was instantly wiped out. It was like watching a wave rise, only to suddenly lose its form and fall back as a drop of water.
It was as if everything that just happened was just an illusion.
"...You're really giving me face. Or is that how much face Aiwass has?"
While asking stupid questions to distract the other party, he secretly cast a spell without gesture or chanting, but was suddenly interrupted by the most inconspicuous Shafiya.
Chaotic magic power raged within his body, and the intense pain caused the Bone Sculptor to gasp. "There are only four fifth-level transcendents loyal to the Avalon royal family, and now there are four of them lurking in my path..."
His direct attack on Queen Sophia was no more than that!
No, maybe even if they attacked the Queen directly, there wouldn't be enough people to arrive in time...
"Surrender, Master Graham."
The Great Guardian's serious voice came from outside the house with the sound of thunder: "You can't escape no matter what.
"Master Janice is familiar with your methods of the Path of Beauty, and Lady Shafiya can counter your spells. No matter how fast you run, I can catch up to you. Not to mention, you were no match for Madam Meg in the first place.
"If you surrender now, we can guarantee your safety. After all, it's not easy to advance to the fifth level, and we need your information..."
"—That's too long-winded."
Meg interrupted the Grand Guardian's rational voice: "No need to waste so much time talking."
She looked at the bone carving and narrowed her eyes. "I'm talking to you... you killed my student, didn't you?"
She resonated with the power of the Tao, and her pupils emanated a majestic silver-white light, turning into cold and ruthless vertical pupils.
Silvery-white illusory scales appeared on Meg's body, emitting a double-image rainbow light.
The old lady said bluntly: "Then, go and die first."
The majestic power fluctuates in the void.
——The next moment, the bone carving turned the bone staff in his hand upside down without hesitation, and stabbed the tip of the staff into his chest, piercing his heart.
The power of dusk within the bone staff suddenly erupted. The staff, once eerily white and yet evocative of a sacredness, instantly lost its luster, becoming as dirty, dull, and yellow as an ordinary spine. Then, under the bone sculpture's all-out thrust, it disintegrated.
All the power was channeled into the bone sculpture's heart, instantly turning it to stone.
But even so, with a broken bone stuck in its chest and its heart petrified, the bone sculpture still did not die.
His pupils suddenly became empty and his whole body became as stiff as a puppet.
Immediately afterwards, a stone-like sheen appeared on his skin, as if the being standing there wasn't a bone sculpture, but a statue he had crafted for himself.
His steps were extremely agile. In just a moment, he took dozens of steps, created a hurricane, and smashed the second-floor wall like tofu.
The bone sculpture did not retreat but advanced and rushed directly towards Shafiya.
His steps were very strange, and if you stared at him for a long time, you would have an illusion - you would feel that his position was further back than his actual position. About a second slower than his actual position, which in turn concealed his true position and movements.
This is the assassination skill from the Adaptation Path!
The Bone Sculptor knew very well that if he didn't kill or repel Shafiya, who was proficient in spell countermeasures, he might not be able to cast a single spell.
Whether it was the Path of Beauty or the Path of Dusk, both were pure magical paths, and his most powerful one was the Path of Beauty.
He had just tried to awaken the statues throughout the city to cause chaos, but the spell was countered as soon as it was created.
The feeling was extremely uncomfortable - chaotic magic power was running around in the body, not only did he lose the magic power used to cast spells, but it even caused damage to his body.
But facing his charge, Shafiya was not panicked.
Rather than being calm, it would be more accurate to say that he is "neither sad nor happy".
——Ah, I knew it.
As long as I go out, I will definitely work overtime...
The Great Guardian shouted, "Be careful!"
His griffin suddenly carried him to the center between Shafiya and the bone sculpture, intending to block the attack for her.
However, Shafiya just stood there and shook her staff, and several silver-white chains emerged from the void, tightly wrapping around the bone sculpture that had turned into a stone statue.
——clang!
The chain immediately tightened, suddenly stopping the charging bone sculpture in its tracks.
A black halo suddenly appeared on the stone body of the bone sculpture - it was the color of steel.
His joints cracked inch by inch, and hot steam mixed with flames spewed out.
First there was smoke, then smoke mixed with flames. In just a moment, the flames stabilized and turned into small blue beams.
The chains were stretched to their limit and then suddenly broke.
The Great Guardian and Philip blocked the attack heavily, but only groaned. Philip under him took a half step back.
He was about to strike back, but more chains, densely packed, layer upon layer, enveloped him. Unable to break Shafiya's grip, he remained frozen in place, holding the crackling Thunder Spear.
Meg's voice came from behind: "Remove the petrification. Give up resistance."
The power of authority spread like the roar of a dragon - that was the Dragon Blood Law, the power Meg gained from the ritual of bathing in dragon blood.
In an instant, the taut silver chain suddenly tightened.
The enemies who had been fighting hard suddenly became powerless, and blood spurted out from the cracks in the chains.
As the chains made sharp friction sounds and gradually turned, the body of the bone sculpture was actually directly ground into pieces by Shafiya's chains!
The chain kept turning like this for more than ten seconds before finally stopping.
When they dispersed, parts of the chains had turned scarlet, and the bone sculpture in the middle had turned into a pool of rotten flesh.
“…Is it over?”
The Great Guardian raised the Thunder Spear and asked cautiously.
"not yet."
Janice's voice came: "He ran away - but not too far, he's still nearby.
"Among all the statues he made, there's one that contains a backup of his soul, one-third of his soul. But strictly speaking, that one isn't really him, it's just a backup from a week ago..."
"Master Yanis, how should we distinguish them?"
The Great Guardian asked seriously but politely.
Meg said angrily, "Just beat them all! He's the one who dares to fight back—I have something else to do later, so hurry up!"
"That's not necessary, and he can't fight back. Just smash the statue."
Janice's cheerful voice said, "Because I found it a week ago."
"...You knew it was him?"
Meg raised an eyebrow and asked the elf in the painting, "So that's why His Majesty asked us to protect Aiwass tonight?"
"There has to be evidence. After all, he is also a big shot in Iris... and as an elf of the Theocracy, I cannot clearly help either side. This is an internal matter of the human race - but it's different if he comes to us himself." Janice said with a smile.
She always knows a lot, but she doesn't want to say anything. Or maybe she can't say it.
"So where is his statue?"
"—the statue he made for Sophia a few years ago. The one he was going to put in the Chapel of Sainte-Guinevere."
Janice said so.
On the other side, in Isabel's bedroom.
At the teacher's reminder, she had already put on her clothes and was waiting for Aiwas's arrival in great spirits.
