As soon as Naila finished speaking, a stronger shock wave came from the ground. The walls cracked, the towering tower collapsed, and the roaring sound reached from above into the vault.
"There is an intruder!" A black-robed wizard beside the ceremony suddenly shouted. Neferti subconsciously turned her head and looked around. She didn't find anyone, but she saw cold light radiating from the floor and walls around her. A blood-red petal bloomed next to the empty door, and then minced flesh and broken bones appeared in the rain of blood, falling to the ground.
A lizard-like creature was cut into fragments and scattered on the ground without even screaming, and died miserably not far from the Gate of Tira.
Medini's secret vault has already set up a deadly trap. When an outsider invades, the wizards don't even need to take action to kill an intruder.
However, the wall that emitted dense cold light became silent after this attack. There was a pungent sour smell in the air, and the stone walls and slabs behind the Tila Gate began to corrode and soften at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is acid mist, unfold the shield to block it!" Professor Lafayette took a look, "I feel an incredible soul that is disordered. It is neither a human nor a pure monster."
Before they could finish speaking, the wizards present felt that several clear and chaotic psychic auras had arrived near the ceremony site.
A dazzling magical light burst out, forming a bright silver solid shield, like a wall separating the ritual from the dangerous acid mist.
A tall wizard walked out of the crowd. Wearing a white robe, he reached out and lifted his hood and said:
"I am Prunus the Supernatural from Odessa, the seeker who collects shells on the shores of the Sea of Truth. Show yourself, my enemies, and let me see what you look like."
He looked solemn and stood proudly. As the wand in his hand drew a dotted line, his robe was blown by the strong wind.
Prunus' sharp eyes swept across the shadow of the door, and then issued an order:
"The ceremony continues,
"They are not extraordinary people, but they can break through all the way here. They must have extraordinary support. I feel the breath of chaos being rubbed into the flesh."
The attackers started attacking without hesitation. Their attacks hit the protective wall formed by magic, causing ripples but unable to break through. The person who had just released the acid mist raised his hand in the darkness, and an even richer and more deadly acid swept over him.
The thickness of the shield deployed by Prunus was beyond imagination. While blocking attacks and protecting the ritual, he chanted the magic spell again, his voice getting louder and louder, finally converging into a heart-breaking roar that was deafening. He raised his wand high, and his whole body was wrapped in light, like a great god, scolding him from above.
"You bugs, I will turn you into flesh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy filling the air spurted out like a tidal wave. At the top of the magic wand of the extraordinary wizard Prunus, the sharp hurricane gathered into a needle-like point, and suddenly stabbed forward like a sharp blade.
The strong wind was raging, and the solid marble floor was torn into terrifying cracks by the cutting of the wind blade. The attackers who rushed into the Gate of Tila also took a few steps back in fear.
The roaring magical wind blades violently charged towards the attackers, about to engulf them, but suddenly exploded and were destroyed with a loud bang.
Prunus' terrifying attack was actually blocked!
The attacker standing in front of him took out a strong tower shield from somewhere. This heavy shield is a heavy-duty armor that is used to defend against cavalry attacks. The hooks at the lower end are inserted into the ground and require both hands to hold. There are also sharp triangular collision angles on the front, which can withstand the wind pressure impact of the gravel and ground. It stood motionless underneath. Moreover, this tower shield is larger than the normal size, almost as tall as the person holding it.
However, when the attackers first came here, they clearly did not carry this shield.
Prunus' expression changed slightly. As an attacker, he could clearly sense the mysterious power condensed on the shield. It was an unshakable tenacity that could shake and eliminate magic, and it could undoubtedly offset the magic wind blade. After a moment of surprise, he growled:
"I understand. They are Extraordinaries of the monster path. Unknown and chaotic are their essence."
The leader of the attackers snorted contemptuously. At this time, those present discovered that his shield actually grew out of his arm and was connected to the elbow joint. It was a carapace that shone like white bones. He calmly said to his companions, "Sanggu, Aigen, activate, let the bandits see our power."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two followers behind him started shaking with a grin. They wrapped their whole bodies in black cloaks, and their burly bodies were like a tangled mass of snakes and insects squirming crazily under the black cloaks.
The two men's bodies suddenly grew like giants, and their cloaks burst open, revealing the figures of two monsters.
One of them has a ferocious head like an electric eel, with sharp teeth in its mouth, and its hands turn into waving tentacles. There are several erected flesh tubes on his back, with shining crystal-like crystals growing from the top, and a powerful current gathers between the crystals.
The other one looked like an upright porcupine, with terrifyingly burly arms, legs, and torso, and a huge carapace as big as a turtle shell on its back, with dense chitin spikes sprouting from it. He shook his body, and the spikes all over his body immediately started to move and would shoot out at any time.
"Aren't these all mutated creatures!" Several of the Medini wizards at the scene screamed.
"No, I said, these are humans with the power of aliens and monsters! The rumored Westero troops used this cursed power! They are the incarnation of distortion and chaos, originating from Zaza Aberrant creatures formed by kneading the life characteristics extracted from the biological community!"
The wizards present were a little shaken when they saw the forms of these attackers. Although they knew the enemy's identity, they were still panicked by their first encounter.
As soon as the attacker revealed his true form, he attacked. The porcupine aberration shakes off its spikes, projecting them like a torrential rain. The electric eel aberration releases a terrifying electric current, which violently collides with the shield.
Their attacks were so fierce that even Professor Prunus's defensive walls began to collapse. The wizards present took action one after another, protecting the ritual while launching fatal attacks on the four attackers.
Neferti was protected and hid behind a sarcophagus, and her ears were filled with whistling and crackling sounds. She curled up and didn't dare to look up. However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw strands of hair-like threads stirring in the lead box in the center of the ceremony, reaching towards Naila.
Naila's face also turned painful. He wanted to shout, but couldn't even moan.
Both parties present immediately realized the abnormality.
"Kill him! He is merging! Kill that demon quickly!" the attackers roared. They began to abandon their defenses and attack Naira with all their strength despite the wizard's deadly spell.
Dense needles, electricity, acid, lightning, flames, and wind blades intertwined in the air. The aberrations that release the acid are killed first. However, the desperate attacks of other aberrations also opened short gaps in the layers of defense, directly threatening Naira at the core.
At this moment, the lead box on the ground suddenly burst, and a suspended eyeball rose from inside. It rotates in the air, and its extremely dark sight is extremely cold. Those who are swept by it feel extreme fear and despair deep in their hearts. This strange gaze swept across everyone present in turn, and finally landed on Naira.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of thin black lines suddenly stretched out from the eyeballs, wrapping towards Naira. Naila screamed, and within a moment her eyeballs merged into his body, spraying out a large neat ball, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Where did that thing go!?"
The monster attackers lost their target before they had time to clearly see the situation in front of them, and they couldn't help shouting. But the leading captain shouted with a trembling voice of fear:
"Retreat! He has fused."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three monster attackers suddenly froze on the spot. Their strong limbs and bodies become dull, and their attacks and actions are as comical as puppets being manipulated. Their faces suddenly showed expressions of extreme pain, as if they were screaming, but there was no sound.
"Everyone, stand down!" Professor Julian, who was presiding over the ceremony, shouted.
The shields and defensive accessories on the Extraordinaries of Odessa immediately flickered like fireworks. They who had been fighting fiercely just now turned quickly and retreated back.
A ferocious shadow slowly walked out of the steam. It was pale and dim, like a skeleton, and like a walking armor. Every step it took on the ground spread out a withering atmosphere, making people dare not look directly at it. His movements seemed smooth, but he had a momentum that could shake mountains and seas, as if nothing in the world could stop him.
The monster has a human body shape, its head is like a knight's helmet, and there is a scarlet eyeball in the small gap in the bone armor. The moment they made contact with the eyeball's gaze, the tall and strong bodies of the electric eel and porcupine aberrations trembled. They could neither attack nor escape, leaving only the despair of having no way to go to the sky or to the earth when encountering a natural enemy.
The scales and flesh of the aberrant body were withering and turning into dust at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a corpse that had been buried underground for hundreds of years and was exposed to the air again.
Only the attacker who had transformed into a tower shield still maintained a trace of will: "You, you are...Nara von Kuimantha, why did you fuse so fast? What are you going to do?"
Hearing this name, the living creature covered in bone armor seemed to be stunned for a moment. He tore off the visor, and the pale bone dripped down like melted candles, revealing Naira's face again. Then, he raised his hand and pointed forward. Three rope-like objects flew out from the end of his fingers and penetrated deeply into the body of the aberration.
"What does it have to do with you?"
The rope-like tentacles squirmed, and the faces of the three aberrations showed expressions of extreme pain. Their bodies squirmed up and down like skins filled with water, and the dark red substance was sucked out of their bodies and flowed into Naila's body along the tentacles.
The powerful aberration was sucked dry in the blink of an eye, leaving its shriveled body cracked and unstoppable disintegration. Their bones and flesh were peeled off in pieces, falling to the ground like ashes, and disappeared when the wind blew them away.
The Odessa people at the scene looked on in horror and said nothing.
After this blow, the dark and deep aura surging behind Naila immediately became weak. His already fair cheeks became paler, and his eyes became colder. He closed his eyes, fell into a brief thought, and then said:
"I sense that there is a powerful will interfering with our sacred cause. He can even interfere with mine..."
Before he could finish his words, he spit out a mouthful of blood and his whole body softened.
Professor Julian said hurriedly: "Let's leave here, Naira, don't use authority anymore, your mission..."
Before he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the wizard who was watching blankly around him. A ball of blue liquid rushed out of the nearby container and adhered to a person, dissolving him into a large wriggling mass of colloid in the blink of an eye.
The sealed objects in the Gate of Tira are out of control! Pieces of sealed objects that had been suppressed in the past broke out of the containers that imprisoned them as if they were alive, and attacked living people everywhere crazily. The Odessa people who were caught off guard screamed one after another, and their fragmented bodies fell to the ground.
Professor Julian ordered again: "Evacuate and temporarily abandon this secret vault. Take action, comrades, we cannot let Bayeran discover our plan, and we cannot let the blessings of the gods fall into their hands. Before they interfere, we must Give away the keys.”
Professor Lafayette nodded and put away several sealed objects in the ritual circle. The wizards, led by Julian and Professor Lafayette, took Naira and Neferti into the carriage and rushed out of the campus. The subordinates who were already on standby gathered from all sides, formed a convoy of five carriages, and rushed out of the school gate.
Before setting off, Professor Julian grabbed Professor Lafayette's arm and said urgently:
"Prioritize the key keys, even if all the others are lost."
Professor Lafayette nodded and turned around to look back at the brothers and sisters in the carriage. He found that Naira had fallen into a coma and Neferti was covered in dust and blood. He took out a set of Naira's clothes and handed them to the girl:
"Change quickly."
