Laura's chant was extremely rapid. In a matter of moments, the complex magic web has woven into a deadly cage. After locking the opponent's soul with mental power, the disguise will be torn even if you escape into invisibility; if you cover it with a substitute, the real person will be recognized.
This is a high-level magic spell. Griffith's body has been calibrated during the chant, and then the thunder gathered in the sky bombarded him.
This is a spell used by ancient sages to punish and enslave giant dragons. It uses huge magic power to bring down thunder and lightning that whips the soul. The structure is not complicated, but it consumes extremely high spiritual energy.
Such a spell is obviously not something that a Sequence 7 witch can use, but the fact before her is that Laura is materializing it without any hesitation or difficulty.
You really can't be careless when dealing with the chosen one... Griffith secretly marveled. Instead of trying in vain to avoid the thunder that was about to fall, he raised his hand and pointed at the witch.
"finished!"
Laura cheered in her heart. She clearly felt that her spell configuration had been successful, and the thunder was rolling in the sky, preparing to move towards the "Death Knight" under the continuous guidance of her spiritual power. At the same time, she saw a man in black robes raising his hand towards her in the shadow illuminated by the electric light.
"Do you want to shoot with me? The ridiculous range and power of melee-type supers are really overthinking. My shield is indestructible!"
Suddenly, a bloody aura that was about to turn into reality tightened around Laura's throat like a noose on a gallows, making her eyes turn white. Although her high-speed chanting had shaped the spell, at the last moment, her spiritual direction completely lost its target.
A fat monster with a terrifying aura rushed out of the darkness and rushed towards Laura.
"boom!"
The thunder and lightning hit the Stitch Monster, instantly vaporizing it while roaring and cursing.
Griffith dodged the fatal blow and also threw a ball of dark green substance between liquid and gas at Laura:
"Tremble under the power of death's coils!"
Laura watched in horror as this mass of evil energy rushed towards her, and she felt her heart being tightened instantly. The powerful shield protecting her trembled violently, weakening the power of the evil energy, but the unbearable madness and vicious chaos still penetrated and hit her soul.
"Ah——!" Laura grabbed her throat and let out a shrill scream from the depths of her soul. Her body turned around uncontrollably and ran away. Extreme cramping and nausea rolled in her stomach. Within a few steps, she fell to her knees and vomited violently.
…
"vomit!"
Heidirich, who was fighting with Rana, also knelt down at the same time. The sudden soul impact left her defenseless, and her whole body seemed to be torn apart.
The screams even reached Griffith's ears.
I see. Griffith understood after hearing two screams.
Laura and Heidirich's psychic and magical strength beyond common sense must come from some kind of rare sacred contract——
As long as the two of them are at a certain distance or meet certain conditions, they can gain spiritual energy far beyond their current level; as long as they are not in the cooldown time of skills and spell casting, they can quickly repair their shields and use their abilities without restriction.
However, this contract does not seem to be perfect. The two's shields are very strong, but they are not completely immune to attacks and mental trauma. Once their minds are damaged, they will even share the damage.
Griffith patted his mask to confirm that it was not damaged by the lightning just now.
Although Laura de Lockhaft's family has a long history and a high reputation, its current strength is only at the level of the Larmore family. Both she and the knight are only Sequence 7. Even with the amazing rare contract blessing, she is still the weakest among the 24 selected ones.
Get her out early. Griffith's top priority right now is to seize a Chosen One emblem as soon as possible and disguise his identity. Only in this way can he stand on the same starting line as those chosen ones with unpredictable depths, and can he stand by Galadia's side in the next trial.
He pulled out the Judgment, opened the hammer, and walked towards the vomiting witch lying on the ground with his head held high.
An adamantine bullet has been loaded into the barrel of the gun. If he is willing, an ancient and famous family in Bijeran can be extinct tonight.
"Please hand over your emblem," Griffith pointed his gun at Laura, "I will give you treatment corresponding to your status and restrict your movements before the sacrifice of the Chosen One ends. After the sacrifice, , you will be compensated."
"I didn't expect you to be a considerate gentleman," Laura wiped her mouth and got up, "But don't you think it's too early to say this?
"My shield is still there, my knight is still fighting, the outcome is still uncertain!"
Before he finished speaking, Griffith had already pounced on him. He punched the solid shield and it shook violently, as if it would break at any time. Before the look of horror could even appear in Laura's eyes, Griffith threw away the crime in his hand, lifted the barrel of the gun upside down, and smashed it down using the handle of the gun as a hammer.
"Isn't it just a shield?" Griffith held the barrel of the gun tightly and swung it at Laura, who raised her hands.
You were chosen because of the war knight’s absolute suppression of spellcasters! Under my attack, all shields, blessings, buffs, and even God's gifts will collapse!
"In front of me, you are no different than naked!"
This is the blow that breaks the mystery. The shield blessed by the contract given by the gods shattered, and it was actually broken by brute force.
"Bang!"
Laura felt as if a market had opened in her head, with red, white, and yellow sounds all in a mess. Her beautiful and intelligent eyes suddenly lost their luster, and her whole body fell to the ground with a plop and twitched.
…
"A heavy blow."
Rana came over carrying Heidirich Himea who was knocked unconscious.
Griffith is stripping Laura of her Chosen One symbol. As long as the badge is brought close to it, the unstable crystals in the badge will become restless, and then break through the outer confinement and be sucked into Salorian's badge bit by bit.
From now on, Griffith takes Laura's place.
After the work was completed, they disarmed the two girls, took off their coats, tied them tightly, gagged their mouths and covered their eyes, packed them into a heavy wooden box prepared in advance, and moved them into a small truck. These are special supplies that the two applied for from the two earls before setting off. They are completely soundproof, so no one can see what is inside.
Griffith said: "I will leave them to you and send them back to the Earl of Chalon's house to be imprisoned. Don't let them find out the clues."
"That's natural," Lana replied. "The Earl and I will keep a close watch on them and wait until the memorial ceremony is over before knocking them out and releasing them to a safe place."
Earl and you... Griffith thought about the beautiful Miss Laura and her outstanding knight, and quickly added: "You cannot insult them."
"Who do you think I am!" Lana said quickly, "You can question my moral character, but the count, the count is here, so you can rest assured!"
"The one who eats chickens at one, three, and five, and eats chicks at two, four, and six..." Griffith thought for a while, "That's fine, I'll ask the countess and Fiona to supervise you."
Lana held it in for a while and finally managed to speak, "What are you going to do next?"
"There is a fighting going on in the north of the city, attracting attention. Our first step of the plan is completed, but there must have been a lot of trouble there," Griffith jumped on a horse and said goodbye to Lana, " I’ll go see who Galadia is fighting, and then help her deal with it.”
"Be careful. The chosen ones have gathered strong men from all walks of life, and some of them have special characteristics that can restrain you."
