Now, Salomon doesn't know where to find Bayonetta, but he still has a solution.
The Witch Bayonetta definitely did not come to Vigrid to coexist peacefully with the Lumen Sage Balder, and this is the hinterland of the Ragnar Order. There are many creatures in the upper planes, and the Witch must be in the realm of purgatory. Maybe he is on a mission to hunt angels.
But inanimate objects in the purgatory world and the real world can also interfere with each other. He has never met an ordinary person who doesn't run away after something strange happens around him. It is a biological instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Therefore, Salomon only needs to see where there is the greatest movement and where pedestrians are running away in panic, and he can know Bayonetta's location. The lipstick is still in his dimensional bag, and he must hand it over to the witch's hands - only in this way can the future seen by the venerable be achieved.
After he took Luka out of the mirror dimension, he gave Luka a task. That is, if you see something unusual, call him as soon as possible. There are many ancient buildings preserved in the old city of Vigrid and the area is very extensive, so he needs to separate from Luca to find the witch as quickly as possible. At the worst, we have to find traces of the witch's destruction.
Luca is very good at this kind of business. Except when he was following Bayonetta, his main occupation was as a "freelance reporter", that is, a paparazzi. His biggest source of income was to receive compensation from entertainment magazines by selling celebrities' privacy. If he hadn't developed such a skill, he would have also It is impossible to keep up with the witch.
"Ah, the truth." Salomon rolled his eyes at Luca and walked away from him.
Salomon also knew that his clothes were very conspicuous in Vigrid, which was full of Ragnar believers, so the mystic did not walk openly on the street, and in order to receive Luca's call in time, he You can't enter purgatory or the mirror dimension to avoid being stared at. He could only jump on the roofs of those ancient masonry buildings and climb along the rough walls. Of course, it cannot be denied that Salomon suffered a little bit of chuunibyou. After all, he has now put on the hood of his cassock.
Rodan should be able to make a hidden blade, right?
The height difference between these buildings is not large and does not pose many obstacles to Salomon's climb. He walked around the buildings near the central fountain a few times, carefully checking the alleys that no one usually passed, and eavesdropped on the conversations of the Ragnar believers, hoping to hear if they were talking about something strange. But not only did he find no trace of the witch, he also didn't receive a call from Luca.
Seeing that noon was approaching, Salomon had to return to Bayonetta's house, made lunch for Theresa who was crying, and promised that he would definitely take Bayonetta home. But this didn't work very well. Ceresa still thought it was because she was a crybaby that her mother hadn't come back until now. Salomon took a deep breath. What can he do? He didn't refuse when he took over Ceresa, but now he can only face it with a smile.
After he finally coaxed the little guy, he immediately returned to Vigrid and appeared on the roof where he left. Immediately afterwards, he stepped on the roof and searched in one direction for a while. At this time, Salomon was already approaching the outskirts of the city, but still found nothing.
Just when he was feeling distressed and his toes ached, a loud noise caught his attention. He looked back and saw an explosion in another direction, not far from the fountain in the center of the old city, at a small church. Huge rocks rose into the sky and slammed to the ground. Even the dust raised could not prevent the dazzling golden light from penetrating the shadows. It was light that ordinary people could not see, but Salomon could see it clearly.
With his excellent eyesight, he even saw a huge thing with two heads flying up into the clouds with a relatively complete chapel. Bayonetta is there! Apart from her, no one could cause such a big trouble with the angel.
Salomon hurriedly ran in that direction. Along the way, the streets under his feet were filled with panicked and exhausted Ragnar believers. When he arrived, he saw huge stones smashed into pieces. There were originally exquisite fountains, and gravels of different sizes continued to fall from the sky.
The mystic mage cast a spell and walked into the world of purgatory. Here, he saw flames blooming again in the distant sky. The originally intact chapel suddenly shattered, and a large cloud of dust filled the air. The broken stones were shaken by strong external forces. It flew in another direction under the influence of . The originally small stone quickly approached, magnified, and finally hit the ground hard. Following the gravel fell to the ground, there was a black figure. The huge monster with two dragon heads also flapped its wings and passed through. Dust suddenly flew down from the sky.
That's Bayonetta! Salomon quickly ran over, but before he could take a few steps, the two-headed angel disappeared. Then the whole Vigrid suddenly shook, and Bayonetta's position suddenly appeared and rose into the sky. thick smoke and orange-red fire.
Salomon sped up. When he arrived here, he saw the rubble falling on a small square. Orange-red hot magma erupted from under the stone brick floor from time to time. The magma cooled down after sputtering, as if Red and black scars cling to the originally beautiful building. Here, benches, flower pots and other flammable things were ignited. The flames climbed up along with the clothes and furniture left by the residents, and penetrated into the houses, while thick black smoke came out, which was poisonous. The gas filled the entire square along with the burning smell of various things, and spread along with the hot air expanding outward.
He covered his mouth and nose, walked around here, and continued to search for the person he wanted to find in the sea of fire.
But Vigrid's vibrations became more frequent, and the spouting magma became more violent. Salomon felt the building beneath his feet shaking. Suddenly, the masonry floor suddenly collapsed. The bell tower in the distance was surrounded by a fountain-like magma and flew into the air. Trams and the like also rose with it. Transportation, magma flows between streets and lanes like a raging river, and the banks of the river are those houses.
This place seemed not to be a city of angels, but to hell. Even Salomon on the roof felt the heat of the air. He walked and looked all the way, and from time to time he could find traces of battles. Salomon followed these traces. At the end of the traces, a huge magma pit appeared in front of Salomon.
This pothole has traces of artificial construction. The bridge across the magma lake alone cannot be formed naturally. This seems to be a reminder that it has an amazing secret, arousing the curiosity of explorers. Fortunately, the builder's efforts were not in vain, and there happened to be an explorer here.
Salomon took a deep breath of relatively clean air, found the right place and jumped down. After he landed slowly (Feather Falling Technique), he saw that the stone bridge had broken into three parts, and a black figure had just stepped into the cave opposite the magma lake. The mystic mage quickly cast a spell, opened the portal and entered the cave. The air here was much cleaner than that in the magma lake, and a much cooler breeze blew from the depths of the cave.
He could finally breathe freely.
The light and heat of the magma lake just now almost made him unable to open his eyes. When he arrived here, he was already covered in sweat, and the sticky feeling made him itchy. Salomon walked along the long cave while avoiding small falling rocks. After a while, he saw the sun - this was a shaft, and the clear sunlight cast his shadow in the well mouth, and the blue sky It has not become turbid due to the turmoil here, as if there is some kind of place outside the wellhead that is uncontested.
Salomon suppressed his nausea, held a bit of asphalt in his palm, and swallowed the spider that had been kept in a small glass bottle. After reciting the spell, the asphalt disappeared. Salomon stuck out his tongue, feeling that the spider was still jumping in his stomach. He spat a few mouthfuls, trying to spit out the strange feeling.
"It's just disgusting," he muttered as he walked up the well wall. "I should have chosen the levitating technique, I was careless, I was careless..." Fortunately, the spider walking technique can last for an hour, which is a rare comfort. At least Salomon does not need to re-cast the spider walking technique every once in a while. If you want to do this, you still need to swallow a spider.
After walking out of the wellhead, Salomon immediately felt the clear breeze. This breeze took away all the heat. There was no bubbling magma and various odors here. The clean air returned to him again. in the lungs.
He came to a steep cliff. Here, he could see the old city of Viglid in the valley below, but it was already immersed in a sea of fire. The magma flowed down from the valley like a waterfall, gathering and accumulating in the valley. Together.
"F*ck!" Salomon couldn't handle this. He could only spat and continued walking up a broken stone step that was crushed by a pillar.
It was overgrown with weeds until we reached a dilapidated ring arena. The huge two-headed angel appeared above the arena, and Bayonetta stood in the arena. Only after Salomon got closer did he recognize the identity of the angel.
This angel has two huge dragon heads, one red and one blue. The dragon heads are inlaid with gems and armor. The body is a huge inverted marble human face. There is a golden laurel wreath on the forehead of the human face, and a golden in between the eyebrows. The sun sign; its two huge claws are exactly the same as those of dragons, with golden decorations on the knees and claw tips. The long tail has many thorny penance belts that are tightly inserted into the body, and there are also There is a golden, spread-out wing decoration, and the wide wings carry it to stay in the sky.
This is the Fortitudo angel among the four virtues. It is the embodiment of the divine will of the Kingdom of God, the embodiment of courage and perseverance. It also represents the element of fire and has the ability to summon magma. It can be said that all the magma in Viglid's old city was summoned from the ground.
"I heard that there is a person who escaped from the witch hunt and is resisting our rule." The huge inverted human face opened and closed its mouth, and the rich voice resounded throughout the arena, "Her connection with the lower plane makes her The soul becomes filthy. If you were this poor man, I would be willing to free you from your torment."
The witch ate the candy boredly and did not take the angel's words to heart.
"Holy Son, the wise man." The Fortitudo angel interrupted the conversation with the witch, and said, "Please use your miracle to save the poor people in front of you..."
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and a bullet bounced off the marble face. The angel Fortitudo also stopped what he was about to say in surprise, because he simply did not understand why someone would actively refuse such a gift.
The witch blinked at Salomon, and she said to the Endurance Angel, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you the reason for hunting you. You are so ugly, and I can't bear to let you continue to suffer."
"Holy Son..." The Endurance Angel wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Salomon's raised middle finger.
"Are you going to resist heaven too?" the Endurance Angel asked in surprise.
"I have never obeyed the upper plane, let alone a jumping puppy like you." Salomon said, "It is better for the creatures in the upper plane to leave the main material plane obediently. This is the Supreme The mage’s territory.”
"Human beings can't fight us! Even if you add the witch beside you, don't try to use the power of darkness to fight us. No matter what era, witches never learn their lessons..." The Endurance Angel said, "We will reshape a new world. New world! And you, also one of us, can achieve a status far higher than that of a sage..."
"Shut up! Featherface!" Bayonetta fired a few shots impatiently, and she drew out her long knife. "You are so stupid that it is unbearable."
