Chapter 217: Butterfly of Annihilation
After Tilan leaped up and rushed into the underground core area, the rest of the group gradually arrived at the scene.
When they were far away, everyone saw the monster that looked like a hill. The cold and chaotic aura it exuded made people feel nauseous and dizzy before they even got close.
"Back off!" N, who was usually not serious, shouted seriously at this moment, asking the group of students around him to stop moving forward.
"Everyone back off, back to the entrance, Allen, Dolores, you are ready to connect to the satellite call and inform the school leaders of the situation underground. The rest of the people are ready to evacuate at any time and never get contaminated by the special substances here."
"Yes, teacher." Seeing him so serious, the others suddenly became nervous and began to do as he said.
"Then, is Tilan okay? She is still in front." Someone asked when they were about to turn around and go back.
N looked at the girl who was still fighting in the distance without being affected, and shook his head. "I don't know how she was not affected, but not everyone has this ability. Don't worry about her. Take care of yourself first."
"As for Tilan, I will help her get out of trouble."
"Okay, Teacher N." Everyone looked at the girl who was fighting in the gray sticky magic again, and then began to retreat and move. As for the group of people who had just been captured, they also followed them back.
In front.
The tall and huge monster opened its mouth to an exaggerated degree, and then the invisible roar spread. The sound waves shattered the surrounding buildings. Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, the people who were preparing to evacuate felt dizzy, as if there was an earthquake under their feet, and their ears seemed to lose their hearing.
With this roar, the faint gray fog around the monster also spread, gradually infecting the gang members and the old man who had fallen, causing their bodies to twist and begin to deform.
I can't go on like this, Tilan said silently in her heart, and quickly retreated, temporarily avoiding the area with the strongest sound wave power. Then she put her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to chant the ancient spell.
The so-called spell, in addition to the complex steps of standardizing the casting, is also a strong psychological self-suggestion, which makes the consciousness more immersed in the spell and makes the mental emotions closer to the state required by the secret technique. The extraordinary effect of Aijika is that the spirit moves the reality, and emotions, spirit, concepts, etc. will have an impact in the process.
"... Exhausting the stars and the earth, visiting the secluded places to seek the way, going up to the nine heavens, down to the dark rivers of the underworld, picking the stars and falling moons, and seeing the instantaneous extinction of life and death, and the fleeting beauty." Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened. A faint blue light flowed in her originally black eyes, and then she slowly opened her clasped hands, and a dazzling blue sword slowly appeared. The sword body seemed to be made of transparent blue crystal, and the blade was engraved with a butterfly pattern. When it was swung, countless blue butterflies also spread out from the sword.
These flickering, blue butterflies, although extremely beautiful, also carried an extremely cold aura. Just flying by the side of the body would make people's souls tremble slightly.
The product of the concept of annihilation, the butterfly that destroys consciousness and spirit and annihilates matter, is a secret art unique to the Withering Sequence, and is also the representative ability of the Butterfly Witch in the past. Later, after being improved by a certain inherited witch, it can now be attached to the sword for casting, which reduces the difficulty of casting, but the range of the secret art is not as good as the original sea of butterflies.
To cast this secret art, if it is the original version, at least the Necromancer Sequence 8 is required. Even after being improved by the successor, it must be Withering Sequence 7 to do it. Now she can barely cast it, but still relies on Themisia's innate ability. The two are two sides of the same coin. Heshia obtains the Crystal of Reconciliation, while Themisia obtains the Sand of Annihilation.
Because of the blessing in the field of annihilation, this allows Tilan to barely cast this secret art now, but just holding this sword in her hand, she feels that the magic power in her body is rapidly consumed. I am afraid that in another half a minute, she will not be able to keep the blade alive.
Unlike the last time in Lebion, with the support of the full moon in the sky, she could effortlessly wield the Ekaka particles within a radius of dozens of miles and convert them into magic power. At this moment, she could easily reach the ceiling of Sequence 4 with only her own magic power.
"Withering Secret Art: Annihilation Instant Butterfly Sword."
Holding the long sword made of blue crystal, she slowly descended from the sky. The speed was not fast. The hair behind her head fluttered, reflecting the sword in her hand, and also dyed with blue brilliance. Every time she descended a foot, the blade in her hand condensed a little.
Layer after layer of magic power brushed through the complex veins in the blade, lighting it up, and then a bunch of blue butterflies flew out of the blade and followed behind her.
Thousands of meters...
Hundreds of meters...
Ten meters...
As she got closer and closer to the howling monster below, the brilliance of the blade in her hand gradually overwhelmed her vision, extremely bright.
Finally, he moved his wrist slightly, and swung the sword down, cutting the monster apart like cutting through mist, without any resistance. Then the sword turned again, and three sword arcs flashed in an instant, cutting the remaining body into several pieces, the cross-sections of which were covered with blue crystals, and these crystals also turned into blue butterflies.
The broken pieces of the body were washed away by the flying butterflies in the air, and then gradually disappeared, until there was nothing left, and the earth became extremely clean.
Looking at this scene not far away, N, who had been ready for battle, slowly loosened his hand from the hilt on his waist, and then saw the girl fall to the ground again, and the crystal sword in her hand disappeared without a trace.
"It really refreshes my cognition again and again. How many surprises are waiting to be discovered in you?"
Later, he went forward to deal with the remaining situation with Tilan, gathering the escaped gang members, and at the same time rescuing the elderly who were caught in the attack, and comforting them.
"It's Miss, you came back to save us." These elderly people knelt on the ground to thank them. Such a scene made the girl very uncomfortable, so she had to help them up quickly.
"Don't kneel, I don't like this old habit." Seeing more and more people joining the ranks of kneeling, she stopped supporting them and her voice became cold.
Perhaps it was the accumulated power just now that made these elderly people a little afraid. After hesitating for a moment and looking at each other, they slowly stood up, but after standing up, they felt very uncomfortable, because they didn't know what to do, and just kept saying thank you to express it.
Understanding the plight of these poor and lonely elderly people, the girl shook her head and then spoke.
"You listened to my command, this is the best thank you. Now I want to know what happened near Jielou City since the relocation, and how this gangster came here, and what they asked you to do."
"Okay, Miss, we will tell you right away." After hearing the girl's order, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief, freed from the helpless situation just now, and began to explain what happened not long ago.
Although Jielou City did not intend to abandon its people, some old people were still reluctant to leave, because they were very old, even if they moved out, they would not live for a few years. Besides, it was difficult to adapt to the new environment if they left this familiar area, so they stayed.
"At first it was good, because there were a lot of past supplies in the city, enough for our group of people for many years, but soon, some wandering forces came to the door, spying on the old site of Jielou City, hoping to find something valuable from it." He shook his head, saying that this group of people were really greedy.
"There are some remaining self-discipline units in the city for protection, but because there are not enough extraordinary people and young and strong people to maintain and patrol, they are gradually destroyed by the gangsters."
"So we gradually retreated deep underground and used the original defense facilities of Jielou City to achieve a balance again. Then we lived in peace for a while. After all, those wandering people gradually discovered that there was really nothing valuable here."
"Later, we heard that these wandering people were fighting on the surface again, and gradually formed some gangs and began to occupy this place. Although we were worried about this, we didn't seem to care so much. After all, we didn't have many years to live."
"However, just this month, a gangster came here specifically. They caught us old people and tortured us to see if we had any way to crack some ancient secrets."
"What secrets are those?" Tilan was curious.
"It's hard to explain in detail, so I'll just show it to you directly." As he said, these old people found a brown-black box from the chaotic battlefield just now. There was a long string of alphanumeric numbers engraved on it, and there were several interfaces on the side.
"This should be a memory storage device from the Fifth Era, but the interface model and decoding method have been lost and are no longer used. However, according to the documents and other materials unearthed with this storage device, this should be a secret research project of a certain country at the end of the Fifth Era."
Unlike the vast star field today, the human civilization in the Fifth Era was divided and fragmented, with hundreds of countries of all sizes, and there were often conflicts between them.
"They used some illegal AI assistance to crack the decoding method and extract some information from this storage device, but because the person who wrote the information at the time did double encryption for the sake of confidentiality, that is, deliberately using some special terms to replace professional and common terms, so that even if it was stolen by hackers, it would be difficult to understand the details and could not be restored."
"What an ancient and simple method." The girl shook her head and commented.
"Because most of these terms originated from the early East Continent, that is, the habits of us Orientals, so they thought if we could understand some of them, so they came to us."
"Then did you help translate and crack it?" Tilan asked again.
"It can't be cracked. Although we are all descendants of Orientals, it is difficult for us to understand such abstruse things. We can only roughly guess what it means. It is probably because the Sea of Eka gradually froze at the end of the Fifth Era, and the number of extraordinary people in the entire galaxy began to decrease on a large scale. In order to break this situation, some countries began to find ways to find a way out."
"And from the results, they may have used some remaining chaos phantoms to infect and corrode the frozen Sea of Eka, so as to loosen some restrictions and allow extraordinary people to advance."
"This is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst." If the chaos phantom is allowed to spread, the tragedy of the past will be repeated.
"Forget it, let's stop talking here for now." Tilan raised her hand and asked the old people to collect the information and put it in one place, and then discussed it with Teacher N beside her.
"When will the team from the academy or the federal government arrive?" She knew that what happened here could not be hidden from the supervision of the academy.
"Tilan is very smart. Don't worry. We will be there in half an hour. They should have landed by now." N pointed to the top of his head.
Above the ground, three huge shuttles roared and swooped down, followed by white mechas. Compared with Lebion's old-fashioned models, these mechas were very advanced. The flashing blue indicator lights on their surfaces moved around, constantly detecting and confirming the surrounding situation, and then quickly drove towards the underground entrance.
