Chapter 971 Time, Stop
After defeating the Greedy Demon, morale suddenly soared—
In the battle just now, the soldiers' consciousness was controlled and extracted by the Greedy Demon. They did not realize how dangerous it was just now, and they did not know the Greedy Demon at all.
They only knew that such a powerful demon was slain in the hands of their own masters in less than a minute—originally, they would have felt timid and hesitant. Because they didn't know whether mortals could actually kill gods...
And now this great victory has undoubtedly given people a reassurance.
——We can win! We really can win!
"We have to go out and meet the enemy. Teleport directly over and fight them!"
Ligeia said without hesitation: "These children are helpless against the plague of the flies. We have priests with us, but they do not have enough mana to dispel the disease."
"Looking at the Greed Demon's situation, if we can defeat the Fly Demon quickly, perhaps the plague can be lifted..."
Siegfried analyzed the situation carefully, but when he glanced at the frowning Ligeia, he quickly added, "But let's just be on the safe side. We can't gamble—and the Fly Demon's derivatives are increasing in number. The sooner we strike, the better."
"...Speaking of which, where's little Aiwass?"
Ligeia frowned. "I remember he can summon a phantom demon that controls fire and releases a large amount of purifying fire. If that guy is here, the poisonous spores released by the fly demon can be burned away from the air, and our battle will be much safer."
"His Holiness the Pope should still be resting."
Galatea spoke expressionlessly, her voice cold and low, "After all, we created such a miracle last night."
"...Catching the meteorite? That would truly be a miracle..."
Ligeia also apparently guessed what Galatea was referring to.
But she couldn't understand why the Fallen Angels would inexplicably drop a meteorite at that place?
"Hopefully he can adjust quickly."
The Great Guardian shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy. "The Fallen Angel has sent two such powerful demons... I think he might be ready to take action."
"You mean," Siegfried looked at the Great Guardian, "that the plan needs to be changed?"
"At least keep a record."
Cardinal Galatea continued, "What if the Fallen Angels attack, or if war is unavoidable, and His Holiness the Pope hasn't arrived yet?"
"As long as the Mage Tower is not paralyzed, they can teleport little Aiwass over."
Ligeia said seriously, "If that day ever comes, we will need His Majesty Saint John to forcibly awaken little Aiwass..."
"Leave it to me."
Saint John nodded seriously.
"However," Siegfried said, "before that, we need to confirm whether we should bring the Pope's replacements with us, or should we just let them stay safely behind?"
Alternatives…
The expressions of the Great Guardian and Ligeia suddenly changed.
The only ones who can fight on Aiwass's behalf... are Lily and Yulia.
Until just now, no one had mentioned these two people. This was because Aiwass had insisted on bringing them here, and he wasn't here right now... If they were in danger now, they wouldn't be able to explain it to Aiwass!
For a moment,
No one dared or was willing to make any remarks that might offend Aiwass at this time.
Ligeia gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take charge—Mage Tower, teleport Yulia over."
"……you?!"
The Great Guardian was suddenly shocked.
His expression suddenly became extremely serious: "You should know... how much Lord Aiwass cherishes his sister, right?"
"Yes," Ligeia nodded calmly, her voice gradually becoming louder and clearer, "but I also know Julia - that child has lived with me for a long time!
"She would never want to stay in the safety of the rear when she has the power to change the course of the battle! Follow my orders, Mage! Teleport that girl here!"
As if finally confirming Ligeia's words, a howling azure storm erupted over the land.
A vague white figure coalesced from it, then suddenly dissipated. Yulia took a stumbling step forward and emerged from it.
—Transmission takes time, and she has heard it all.
"Don't worry, I can protect myself."
This little girl, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, said this as her first sentence after she appeared.
She gently pressed her small right hand against her heart and said in a childish and soft voice, as if taking an oath, "I am also a warrior! I will never let anyone down, and I will never let my brother worry."
That voice made Siegfried and Mu look reluctant.
And Saint John even squatted down and hugged her.
Her face didn't look much older than Yulia's, but she was much taller.
"Don't be afraid."
Saint John said softly, "Sister will protect you."
"——What are you waiting for?!"
Ligeia shouted, "Teleport us!"
The next moment, the azure storm rose again.
Everyone was immersed in the increasingly intense storm, as if they were walking on a plank, shaking and swaying violently on the stormy sea!
A strong feeling of dizziness was accompanied by increasingly violent vibrations - as if one was stepping on a machine that was about to collapse, and the feeling of numbness and itching spread throughout the body along the bones of the lower limbs.
It was like the body would suddenly shiver occasionally during a nap, and everyone's body shook instinctively.
When the storm dissipated, they were already under a dark sky.
It happened to be in an uninhabited ruin, in front of the giant tree that was born just last night!
The sky not far ahead had already turned to darkness, while behind them was blue sky and white clouds. They could even see that the distant sky, which had been eaten away by the "dark cloud", had turned to a transparent color "bluer than blue".
The strong smell of decay accompanied by the stench made them feel dizzy and even want to vomit immediately!
Saint John, who was holding Julia, had a change of expression on his face, and an instant divine spell was immediately generated—
The [Pure Fire] field from Zhu Tiansi unfolded, forming a white fire ring with a radius of about thirty meters suspended in the air. All the dirt was swept away and burned in an instant!
"Yulia, get ready!"
cried Ligeia.
Unlike the previous situation - facing the fly demon, many of them will become powerless.
For example, Mu and Siegfried, who are good at close combat, cannot reach the swarm of magic flies at the same height as the clouds!
I can’t even reach it!
The same thing went for the Great Guardian… He could fly up, but facing the sixth-level fly demons alone was like delivering a takeaway. A single slide would gnaw away the demonic flies, leaving nothing behind… Not to mention, once he left the range of the purifying fire, he might not even be able to reach the horizon against the spores.
This is the priority of the sixth energy level!
Their biggest problem now is "how to reach these magic flies" and attract them down!
At this moment, the spellcasters who had been somewhat powerless in the fight against the Greedy Demon finally had a chance to show their abilities.
This time, Master Chongbo finally reacted and used his preservation technique.
"Get ready to attack them..."
Master Chongbo whispered.
His pupils turned dim yellow and he looked up at the sky quietly.
He raised his hands, as if to grasp at the sky. A dim yellow flame, boundlessly alive, overflowed from his pupils and flowed from between his fingers.
“Time…”
Master Chongbo murmured softly: "Please stop here and wait for me..."
In an instant.
A dim yellow beam of light that reaches the sky rises from the ground!
A slender beam of light rushed into the sky, and then spread wildly in all directions!
It was as if the whole world was frozen in a huge piece of amber.
The azure sky froze in an instant and turned into a dim yellow.
The clouds stopped moving, and even the magic flies were completely fixed by him.
