(Additional updates!)
On the twelfth day after the God of Fear dissipated, outside the royal city.
There is a clear difference between the Royal City today and the usual one. In fact, since last night, many people have been rushing back from various parts of the Arestle Kingdom to return to the Royal City.
The number of these returnees is not large compared to the total number of residents in the royal city, but their status as professionals still makes them very special.
The period after the war with Seventan was regarded as a holiday for the soldiers who went on an expedition to Seventan. They could go back to their hometown to see their hometown, or enjoy a period of time without missions or military orders.
The same goes for those members of the Night Blade who participated in the expedition. Invariably, most of the Night Blade members chose to return to the royal city on this day. The reason is very simple. Today is to commemorate the deaths of those Night Blades. It is a day of mourning for our compatriots.
There is no compulsory requirement to participate. In fact, this day does not even exist. It is just that everyone makes an appointment to commemorate their fallen comrades.
The deceased have already slept forever, and no matter how grand the ceremony is, they can't be awakened. This memorial service just engraves the memories of these deceased people in the mind, allowing them to live in their hearts in another way.
The body has turned into dust, but the fire can still be passed down.
The sky was clear, there were no clouds, and the sunshine was very good. It illuminated the grassy plain outside the city that had been deliberately cleared by the magicians. Whether riding horses or walking, members of the Blade of the Night came one after another. He walked out of the city and came to this grassland.
Everyone was dressed casually. Few people deliberately wore formal attire. Most of them were ordinary knight armors worn when patrolling and cloth gowns worn at home. Overall, the atmosphere at this time was not like that. Like a funeral, the atmosphere of sadness is not strong.
Dismount and stand.
Stop and watch.
Rows of long swords with the names of the deceased were inserted on this artificial green grass. Each long sword represents a person who lost his life in this war with Seventan. A member of Night Blade.
The sword is not a good sword, nor is it a weapon used by the deceased. We are all real people. The valuable things from the victim should either be given directly to the family of the deceased, or they should be converted into equivalent money first, and then It will be paid together with the pension.
These swords are all produced by the private blacksmith workshops in the city. Their different shapes do not correspond to the different characteristics of each deceased person. They are just the casual expression of the master blacksmith.
These long swords will not be stuck here for long. After a week, the magicians of the Night Edge will naturally bury these long swords in the ground to complete the funeral.
Today’s memorial ceremony itself is not about how beautiful, how grand, or how ceremonial it is. Those who are grateful and respectful will come naturally, and the indifferent bystanders who have no feelings will have no effect even if they come. significance.
Many people came to this funeral and memorial ceremony prepared for all the Night Blade dead. Almost all of the Night Blades were present, including Edward and the others. The names of Wang Yu and Xiuge Yin were actually clear. The ground is engraved on two of the sword blades.
The largest number of others are the residents in the royal city. Their number is actually slightly more than the total number of members of the Night Blade. Many residents who were saved by Edward in the Sea of Silence have become hostile to the Night Blade organization. The victims of the blade have a sense of respect.
Many people from the Cult of Light also came spontaneously. The relationship between the Blade of the Night and the Cult of Light has always been very good, and there are many members of the Blade of the Night who believe in the God of Light. Father Fang was present in person. Standing next to Edward.
There are still some people from the City Guards who remain. These soldiers who have fought with the members of the Night Blade can already be regarded as comrades. They came here today to say a final farewell to their lost comrades.
Some people came from the royal family, probably to do some honorable projects. After all, some people from the nobles also came, just standing there with sad faces, doing some stage work to win over people's hearts. These formal things are themselves They have always been there, and no one cares about them.
Everyone stood silently, looking at the long swords standing in the distance. The atmosphere was not considered sad. Although some people's eyes were red and some were sobbing softly, it was more solemn and solemn than sad.
The members of Night's Blade seemed to have a clear understanding of each other. They were only one or two steps away. They all stepped forward and saluted seriously to the tombstones made of long swords. This salute was both a tribute and a farewell.
One of the representatives of the royal family looked at the mourning ceremony of the Blade of the Night in front of him with an expressionless face. Under the expression of silence, he was smiling. The names of Wang Yu and Xiuge Yin on the tombstone of the Blade let him know, Edward finally gave up searching for these two people, which would avoid a lot of trouble.
"boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly exploded behind everyone, and the sound resounded through the entire royal city. Even outside the royal city, this incredibly heavy and huge explosion was still clearly audible.
Everyone turned their heads in surprise. Shock climbed onto everyone's faces after seeing what happened. Smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the clouds above were stained with gray.
On the mountain peak named "Throne", a corner of the majestic palace completely collapsed and disappeared at this moment. Huge and ferocious scars suddenly appeared on the building that represented Arestle's highest power.
No one saw clearly what had just happened, no one knew how this could happen. Just so suddenly, on a day after the end of a war that could not be seen as anything special, Arestle's palace was raided by an unknown entity. , forced a breakthrough.
The masonry structure was still peeling off, and cracks and collapses were spreading across the palace. The terrifying impact not only destroyed the side hall, but also drove countless cracks into the foundation stone of the entire palace. Very soon It's hard to imagine the terrifying impact caused by such huge power.
The materialized magic circle on the top of the palace is rotating at an accelerated speed, and the dazzling arcs of light that continue to appear indicate that the most powerful protective magic circle of the royal family besides the Banner of Inthemis is taking effect.
This joint magic circle spread throughout the palace, built by a large number of great magicians, will use amazingly powerful magic to tear apart any intruder who dares to enter it.
"Move, the enemy invades!"
"Go quickly, there is a foreign enemy, now is not the time to mourn here."
"Captain, please give us action instructions quickly."
Those present were all members of the Night Blade, the elite among the elite. This sudden explosion was beyond everyone's expectation, but it did not make them lose their sense of proportion.
Reacting extremely quickly, the members of Night Blade immediately prepared to enter the city to confront the enemy. Judging from the attack that directly exploded a small piece of the palace, it seemed that the attacker was evil.
"Everyone, I have something to say to you, as a member of Night Blade!"
At this moment, Edward's voice entered the minds of all Night Blade members present. Father Fang put his hand on Edward's shoulder with a smile, and used the power of light to help him complete the delivery of his words. .
"Our commander-in-chief, Xiugeyin, and members of the special operations team, Wang Yu..."
…………
Back to a few minutes ago, Aviya, Sieg, and Charles, under the cover of the power of the Lady of the Night, arrived at the square a few kilometers away from the palace, which was still being rebuilt and no one was there.
"Here, use this when you find Wang Yu, and leave the contact to Ms. Heiye."
Charles took out three reversed star tarot cards and handed them to Sieg and Aviya.
How crazy it is to storm the palace and directly blast into the headquarters of the most powerful force in the kingdom.
"Um."
The girl responded, took the tarot card handed over by Ciel, cut her fingers through the air, tore a space crack out of thin air, and put the tarot card in.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Sieg responded with a smile, took the tarot cards and put them into a special stone box on his waist.
The Church of Night gave them one of the special items originally consigned to the Alchemy Grocery Store. Only this sturdy space storage equipment could withstand the aftermath of the subsequent impact.
"Good luck! Don't let anyone die. Rescue that guy Wang Yu."
Charles put away his usual joking and warned Aviya and Sieg very seriously.
Aviya and Sieg gave Ciel a thumbs up when he turned around, and then the wind elements gathered together, lifting the two of them to accelerate and rise high into the sky.
Surrounded by strong winds, the girl used magic to keep Sieg and herself rising, while Sieg was checking his own status.
The magic circuit on the dragon's body has been further engraved and perfected in these twelve days. For this rescue, some magic circles with special functions have been specialized.
After penetrating a cloud layer, the height of the two was basically the same as the height of the palace. Their destination was right in front of the line of sight. Under the side hall, Wang Yu was imprisoned there.
"Are you ready for the Jade Golem? Even if it is the body of a giant dragon, it is still too weak to withstand that level of impact. You must use the Holy Artifact of the Great Druid."
The girl looked at Sieg next to her to confirm the situation. At this moment, bright and complex magic circuits were lighting up on the skin surface of Sieg's human form. The magic flowed through each node and combined to form different effects on his body surface.
"Well, get ready. I am adjusting and optimizing the state of dragon transformation to complete the dragon transformation in a very short time. Although I have tried many times, there is no chance of mistakes this time."
Sieg said with a smile, feeling the dragon's body that existed in the space that only he could sense, and the magic pattern inscriptions that were constantly running on it, corresponding to the magic flow on the human form at this moment, and they were constantly strengthening. The connection between that body and the human form at this moment.
"Okay, then I will also start preparing the magic for speeding up."
The girl confirmed that Sieg was ready, and began to gather magic power to complete the preparation for acceleration.
The wind element roared in from all directions, and the air flow increased in speed during the process of being squeezed. The speed became faster and faster, making people almost feel like their skin was being torn apart by these air flows.
These air currents surround the girl and Sieg, ready to go. With just a few adjustments, these powerful air currents will accelerate the two of them to an exaggerated speed.
A layer of magic shield is placed on the surface of the two people's bodies respectively, not only to protect Aviya, whose body is relatively fragile, but also to allow the increasingly violent airflow around them to better and more completely convert their kinetic energy into the girl and Sieg. speed.
"boom!"
At a certain moment, the extremely fast flowing air, which had been compressed several times and even started to heat up due to friction, was turned by the girl and released its power unreservedly on the spherical magic shield on the surface of the two people's bodies.
The speed began to rise, and the two suddenly accelerated. The wind element magic drove the storm to accelerate the two of them, and at the same time split the obstructed airflow in front with an invisible blade, so that the two of them hardly had to face air resistance.
The two who were still in a static state just a few seconds later accelerated to an afterimage that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and this speed continued to increase.
The magic circuit on the surface of Sieg's body also began to take effect, and flames appeared behind the two. Manic propulsion was born from the flames sprayed backwards, and combined with the high-speed airflow, it crazily increased the speed of the two.
"call out!"
The flame tail stream of light disappeared in a flash, and the two people, who were already approaching their destination at a terrifying speed, began to approach the royal palace. Some details on the outer wall of the castle were clearly visible to the naked eye.
But when they were about to enter within two kilometers, the space fluctuated and the phase gate was activated. The figures of Sieg and Aviya flying at high speed suddenly disappeared and returned to the starting point again, accelerating in the second stage.
Through space resetting, Aviya and Sieg were given multiple opportunities to accelerate. Six times, this is the limit for the girl to continuously use Phase Gate. Seven times the acceleration distance, a total of 35 kilometers, will be given to the two of them. Bringing about the opportunity to reach speeds beyond the speed of sound.
When the last phase gate spell was used, the speed of the two people had reached the expected level. If it were not for the large number of buff spells and the defensive magic devices prepared in these twelve days, the girl's body would be unable to withstand it. It will collapse at this speed.
Sieg was fully focused at this moment. The supersonic speed without sonic boom was the speed at this moment. Without giving the royal family any chance to react, the two of them flew close to the palace.
"Click."
An hourglass appeared from Aviya's hand, and the sand above began to fall downwards. The time stored inside was released at this moment. In Aviya's eyes, everything began to slow down. The strange object given by Charles· Hourglass.
The flow of time at this moment changed to a quarter, and the last 1.2 kilometers passed almost instantly at the supersonic speed of the two of them. The slowed down time gave the girl enough time to react.
Adjusting the posture, void energy surges, and the entire body begins to transform into virtuality. The four-ring witchcraft·ghost form temporarily ignores all physical damage and will only receive the incomplete physical effects of the objects specified by the caster.
And this technique is just to prepare for the subsequent collision. In the current state of the two of them, it is not enough to crash through the palace. It is not enough at all. The speed may be acceptable, but the quality is really not enough.
What Sieg had to do was make up for this quality. The dragon body in the space that only he could feel suddenly began to overlap with the human body.
On Earth, it is impossible to increase kinetic energy out of thin air, and mass cannot be changed at will. But in this world, there is no need to follow some rules on Earth to accelerate low-mass objects to a sufficient speed. If you improve the quality again, you can really do it, just like what Sieg is doing now.
Transformed into a dragon, showing its true form, a strong and huge fierce red dragon body appeared out of thin air, but the speed was still the same as the human form Sieg had before, supersonic speed...
The astonishing weight of the dragon, coupled with the supersonic speed, the kinetic energy possessed by Sieg at this moment has skyrocketed to an unreasonable state, which directly made Lady Night's shielding power lose its effect.
Just like that, a giant dragon suddenly appeared in the air 1.2 kilometers away from the palace, and hit the side hall at supersonic speed. This ridiculous scene actually looked a bit funny, but it was probably No one in the royal family would think so.
The Arch Druid's sacred object, the sapphire golem, was crushed in advance by Qiege. The special power instantly covered the surface of the dragon's body, turning the dragon's scales into emerald green, like emerald.
Even with the power of the giant dragon, it would be difficult to withstand the ruthless impact at this speed, so some small help is needed, and this item is prepared for this.
This layer of emerald-like material is like a layer of armor, possessing extremely strong defensive power, although it can only withstand one attack before dissipating.
However, it was enough to complete one impact. Moreover, this layer of armor was very heavy, almost worth half a qig. The power of the impact increased again.
"boom"
The giant dragon covered in sapphire armor mercilessly hit the palace sideways at supersonic speed, devastating it. The surface magic shield was shattered like a piece of cellophane, and collapsed into a pile of useless discrete magic power.
Then there are the hard stone bricks with magic patterns engraved on the inside. Likewise, the outer wall of the castle, which was usually as solid as a bunker, turned into dust at the moment of collision.
Unrivaled, unstoppable, and the devastating dragon impact broke out on the castle without any warning.
The girl fixed herself on Sieg's back in a ghost state, as if she was driving this terrifying dragon, blasting directly into the palace, crushing and destroying everything in its path.
The great wilderness dragon falls!
"Boom boom boom!"
The sapphire shell exploded during the collision, completing its mission, and the giant dragon had completely penetrated into the solid palace. The entire mountain peak was being crushed and impacted one after another, shaking for several seconds. .
A shock wave visible to the naked eye appeared directly around the castle, swept out, and with a shocking loud noise, penetrated the sky above the entire royal city.
A corner of the palace disappeared into the smoke and dust during the impact, leaving only a huge crater. Moreover, the shock caused by the impact had already left countless cracks and gaps in the palace.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Activate the magic circle! Destroy the enemies inside!"
"Let the royal guards come quickly!"
"What was that just now?! A giant dragon!?"
"Check the foundation of the palace. The impact of the impact just now may have directly threatened the underground!"
The palace immediately fell into chaos. This was beyond everyone's expectations. It was violent to the extreme. They rushed in regardless of all protective measures. There was no plan at all. All they could do was to quickly use all available means.
The huge magic circle began to operate, powerful magic continued to gather at the top of the palace, and the extremely lethal magic accumulated strength little by little.
Be ready at any time to release multiple destructive magics through a large number of magic nodes throughout the palace to eliminate intruders.
This is one of the most powerful defense methods of the royal family. Years of layout and improvement have made this magic circle even more destructive in a small area than the one at Stevenson College. With this magic circle, Even though he was said to be rescuing Wang Yu, Qiege, who had turned into a dragon, could not do anything in the palace.
"what is that!"
"The one that appeared before, when the demons invaded!"
At this moment, a change occurred. Dark clouds gathered and rotated in the sky. In the whirlpool clouds, unspeakable huge power began to permeate. A huge golden dragon eye tore open the space and projected his gaze down.
Sieg turned into a giant dragon, and the shield of the Lady of the Night's power temporarily disappeared. As expected, the terrifying existence was able to discover the dragon Sieg.
And He, an emotionless being, will not think about anything else, or think about anything else. Destroying and obliterating Sieg is the only thing He has to do.
"Rumble..."
Lightning and thunder sounded like the end of the world. When this existence descended above the palace and was very close at hand, that terrifying sense of oppression was felt by everyone in the palace. It is the instinctive fear that humans will have when facing powerful creatures. , making them completely stunned for a moment and trembling continuously.
The giant dragon claw that had appeared before, with the intention of wiping out Siege, once again fell from the sky, carrying unimaginable vast power, overwhelming it, and pointed towards the giant dragon that had crashed into the pothole and couldn't see where it was. Down.
Compared to Siege, the giant dragon claw first came into contact with the giant magic circle floating above the palace.
The vast power overflowed slightly, just a trace of power projected outward when touched. Within a few seconds, the magic array overloaded and collapsed while frantically alarming, turning into a pile of magic fragments and completely annihilated.
At the same time, the large number of magic circuits arranged in the palace were filled with unknown power after being touched by the giant claws, and exploded. The palace was filled with continuous burning and explosion. throughout.
The giant claw continued to descend, but a black sky was the first to press on the pothole where Sieg was. The power of the Lady of the Night was activated again, once again covering Sieg's existence. "His" mission has been completed. , it’s time to go back.
This time, "He" did not stop immediately. The huge dragon claw continued to press down for a while before stopping. It seemed that "He" had sensed Sieg many times and thought that Sieg was here.
Danger after danger, the giant dragon claw almost broke through the shield formed by the power of Lady Night. Fortunately, in the end, "He" still withdrew his power after he could no longer sense Sieg.
The strange phenomena in the sky gradually disappeared, but the overall magical protection of the palace had completely collapsed. This opportunity was once in a lifetime.
"It seems that next time, He won't be so easy to fool. Mr. Ziege has done what he can. Next, it's my turn, Wang Yu, I'm here to save you."
Aviya murmured in her mouth, glanced at the disappearing vision, and without hesitation turned around and rushed into the crack that appeared in the underground prison during the impact. She wanted to bring Wang Yu out!
