Chapter 1104 Devil’s Blade (Part 2)
"Ah——!" Ye Zi's exclamation suddenly came from behind.
Hui Hui turned around and found that the strong wind passing over her body had not disappeared. Although it had weakened a lot, it still blew the leaves away.
At the same time, the Demon Slayer also appeared behind her.
How can this be?
The cyclone is clearly an ability, so why doesn't the God's Stone of Retaliation completely seal its effect?
Without any time to think, Hui Jin drew his sword and slashed back, straight towards the opponent's neck.
The enemy blocked the blow with just one hand. As the two clashed, she could clearly see the blue waves blooming on the devil's arm.
The demon slayer didn't even look at her. Instead, he whipped up the strong wind again and blew the leaves farther away.
This guy... only targets Ye Zi!
Ashes followed the enemy step by step, but was still gradually pulled away. Ye Zi also tried to fight back, but the demon slayer made all her efforts in vain with just a wave of his hand. This level of gap cannot be made up by willpower at all. The flow of magic power in the entire space is disrupted, and it is difficult to gather power.
Is this the control of magic power by high-level devils? Whether it was interrupting Ye Zi's ability or taking the time to repel her, it seemed to do it with ease - Ash's hands were sweating. If she continued like this, she would be unable to catch up with her opponent's fatal blow that might come at any time. Hit.
At this critical moment, Ashes' spirit was concentrated as never before.
Faster, faster!
For the past two years, she has been following Taqila's extraordinary training method, wearing weights most of the time. After taking them off, she can really feel the changes in her body - the magic attached to the muscles and bones is getting stronger. , constantly moisturizing every corner of her body, she even had the illusion that they were replacing flesh and blood bit by bit.
But this is not enough.
She had to be faster to save Ye Zi.
And... protect the people she wants to protect.
Driven by consciousness, magic power began to condense towards the legs - during the sacred duel with Lorgar, Ashes saw a strange fighting technique. When focusing magic power on a certain part of the body, it can make it explosive and durable. Sexuality has been greatly improved, which is why the wolf girl can control the individual changes of her limbs.
The demon slayer did not focus on her as his main target, allowing her to focus on feeling the flow of magic in her body, and the fragmented background environment around her made this feeling clearer.
Just when the devil repeated its trick for the fourth time and pulled the distance between the two to twenty meters away, it directly broke through Ye Zi's vine defense and stretched out its sharp claws to stab her chest.
This blow seems to be irreversible——
Almost at the same time, Hui Jin used all his strength to kick the big tree!
In an instant, she felt that she had caught something.
His body seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, and a distance of more than twenty meters passed by in the blink of an eye, as if time had stopped. Even without her eyes, she could clearly "see" the trampled tree being shattered into pieces, and the strong wind brought about by the sprint breaking apart the branches and crushing the weeds.
The enemy stopped for the first time and raised his hands to block her slash.
"Pong-bang!"
Sweeping with all his strength, the demon slayer was sent flying several meters, rolled twice in the air and then landed firmly on the ground.
Ashes continued to castrate, hugging the fallen leaves and protecting her behind him again.
"Oh?" The devil raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of interest.
"Fire!"
At this moment, the reinforcements Ashes was waiting for finally arrived at the scene of the battle - the God's Punishment Witch team stationed at the forest terminus jumped out of the dense forest and pulled the shotgun trigger towards the only enemy. A huge roar suddenly resounded through the forest, and the warheads sprayed out like raindrops at the target, and the latter used the tree trunks as cover to dodge left and right like a ghost. Even so, among the bark and debris flying everywhere, it was still alive. You can see a burst of blue light from time to time.
Further away, there were rapid and chaotic footsteps. It was obvious that after God punished the witch, the First Army was completing the encirclement bit by bit.
The devil glanced at the ashes for the last time, jumped up, and suddenly burst out with astonishing magic power, then rushed straight up quickly, and disappeared into the vast night after a few breaths.
"Damn it," the leading Divine Punishment Witch spat, walked to Ashes and squatted down, "My name is Elena, are you okay?"
"It's not a big problem," Hui Jin glanced at the semi-conscious Ye Ye in his arms, and reached out to gently wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, "but she needs treatment."
"Don't worry," Elena comforted, "I received notification from the front line that Miss Nana and Miss Higurashi are already on their way."
…
As soon as the ascendant landed, a newly ascended body guard came forward to greet him.
"Lord Ersluk, this is the breathing tank prepared for you——"
Before he could finish speaking, the other party snatched the jar away, put it directly to his nose and took a deep breath.
"hiss------"
After a long time, Ersluk seemed to have regained his breath and said, "Change it for me."
"yes."
After expelling the waste can, the guard inserted a new can that was as long as an arm into its back - for those who are promoted, this breathing method of exchanging within the body does not rely on armor and does not hinder movement, making it a more ideal carry. means.
"I didn't know about your trip..."
"It's a little off, but that's to be expected," Ersluk said expressionlessly. "After all, it's human territory. If it can't stop even this, I should doubt Cabrada." Than whether he really betrayed us."
"No, what they are blocking is not really you." The guard shouted, "The breathing tank limits your power. If it is within the scope of the Tower of Birth, those bugs are no match for you at all!"
Driving magic will accelerate the consumption of life ephemera, especially for high-level ascendants. Considering the amount of ephemera required for round trip, it is equivalent to fighting in shackles.
"So this time it's just bait. Next time I will choose a fairer place," Ersluk looked to the south of the forest, "...a suitable cemetery for resting."
"If the Lord of the Sky could support you more," the guard said with some annoyance, "You wouldn't have to take such a risky approach. Taquila's Tower of Birth..."
"Adventure?" Ersluk interrupted his subordinate, "I think it's quite interesting. After all, it's better to experience it yourself than to listen to someone's report." It buckled a deformed steel ball from its armor and took it. After looking at them carefully for a moment, he said, "The females who are also awakened ones have not improved at all, but the males without magic power have changed. Those humans are not useless... It would be better if we could know more about them."
The guard didn't reply, but there was an unconvinced look on his face.
Ersluk put the steel ball into his arms disapprovingly, "As for the Lord... I believe it must have tried its best, but the King must have his own concerns and difficulties, so there is nothing to be upset about. After all, we are all going to the next level. In the high realm, you want to fight to reach that sky, right?”
"You... taught me this." The guard lowered his head.
"Take the "Tombstone" and retreat, the road back to Taquila is still long. "Osruk slowly flew up and turned towards the ruins of the Holy City, "Now that the bait has been set, all we have to do is wait. "
Waiting for the day when it shrinks and tightens——
We will definitely meet again.
