"Buzz!"
The light arc gun set off a sonic roar, and Griffith, who was lying behind the grass, felt the ground rolling like waves, and blood flowed from his nose and ears at the same time.
Commodus's holy sword roared, the sword light rose into the sky, and the spiritual energy tide swept over the sky, as powerful and fierce as swallowing up the heaven and earth. He raised the holy sword in his hand high and swung it towards the incoming beam of light:
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori (How sweet it is to die for one's country)!"
Two bright lights collided together. The power of the Holy Sword was faintly greater, but it immediately formed a vortex of entangled particles in the energy impact. This energy is compressed and gathered, like a new star in the galaxy.
The sounds of the whole world seemed to be swallowed up. The vortex alternated between blazing white lightning and lightless darkness, and suddenly formed a hurricane-like shock wave that exploded outward.
Griffith swayed like a willow leaf in a strong wind and backed away among the bushes and trees. The army led by Commodus was waiting in the distance, and was knocked to the ground by the shock wave.
The dazzling bright light can even make people unable to open their eyes, and the fierce and dangerous atmosphere makes people very clearly aware that if the center of the deep explosion will definitely end in ashes.
This is the power of God’s hand! Why didn't I... Griffith almost subconsciously had the idea of escape.
The war knight's extraordinary ability is indeed powerful, but in a one-on-one battle, there is even a danger of being restrained by an extraordinary person of the same level, let alone an energy impact of this level.
However, Erza and Commodus should not be able to frequently output such powerful spiritual energy, and there will be a longer cooling time. This is my opportunity to intervene... Griffith just stood firm and immediately turned his gaze again Throwing himself towards the battlefield, he saw that Commodus had indeed put down the holy sword, and his heroic appearance became a little pale.
Very well, the use of the Holy Sword of Enduil is not without cost! Griffith immediately looked at Erza floating in the air.
In the strong wind, the huntress with wings on her back raised her hands and held them empty, and another bolt of lightning shrieked and took shape...
Second strike!
Commodus raised his sword to resist. However, the charging of the Holy Sword has not yet been completed, and the fatal lightning strike has already struck down in the air.
"The king's car castles!"
In an instant, a high-level wizard raised his wand.
He had been prepared and had been waiting in front of the battle. He actually chose to trade his life for his life without fear of death, exchanging places with Commodus. At the same time, his body was transforming into ball lightning bursting with light, and the thick magic shield roared, trying to resist the thunderous strike.
"Bang!"
The shell of ball lightning lit up for a moment and then disappeared. At the moment when it was annihilated, an extraordinary person with high perception could even see a magical creature being vaporized by the beam into a plume of blue smoke.
At the same time, Commodus appeared at the front of the legion's battle column, flanked by the Extraordinaries serving as guards.
"Hit her down!" the Guards commander shouted, raising his sword.
As soon as he finished speaking, another bolt of lightning was thrown.
This time it was a great knight beside Commodus who was targeted. He had sensed the danger and raised a large silver shield to resist.
"boom--!"
The beam penetrated the shield, and the knight was instantly vaporized along with his armor. After this blow killed the great knight, the aftermath of the energy stirred up a huge shock wave mixed with debris.
When the Imperial Guards who were preparing to fight saw this, their momentum was instantly suffocated. Everyone's eyes were subconsciously staring at the charred pits on the ground, and their brains had not yet caught up with the situation in front of them.
Erza was hanging high in the sky, looking down at the ground. With just a single hold, Erza condensed a powerful beam of light and threw it down without mercy.
This is the attack of high-level mythical creatures!
Overwhelming power and irresistible despair. As long as you are within the range of the beam strike, it is an absolute attack that cannot be defended or evaded!
The Beyonders with long-range strike capabilities in the legion began to fight back, but they were originally deployed at a slightly farther position. They moved forward to attack the liberators.
Erza's range was far above them. When she faced long-range attacks, she would move in the air, keep her distance, and use her range advantage to kill the advancing Beyonders.
In the chaos, many of Commodus' men began to retreat, but those who were targeted could not resist the bombardment no matter how hard they resisted.
However, Commodus did not retreat. He murmured:
"Have you lost your mind and only retained the instinct of destruction? Erza Valkyrie, Lord Seer Gryffindor loves you so much, but you are unable to resist the erosion of your godhead.
"All gifts from fate have already been marked with a secret price."
Commodus did not hide or run. He stood on the same spot, and the Beyonders and officers of the Praetorian Guard evaporated near him. Shattered armor and broken bones flew everywhere like shrapnel.
He said to the officer who hurriedly bent down to find cover:
"Steiner, if these lightnings are destined to hit us, it will be useless even if we hide underground."
"But, Your Majesty, we can escape further and reduce the probability of being hit!" Commander Steiner shouted, "Please follow us and leave the strike range of this humanoid natural disaster."
"No, I am here," Commodus shook his head and said firmly, "I am with my Praetorian Guards.
"The Liberator's attack is indeed powerful, but she can only attack a random target or area.
"And my authority has been activated."
Griffith had never witnessed such a fight.
Some of the wizards, priests, knights and other Beyonders in the Commodus Guards were wiped out on the spot, and some fled. The heavy infantry that had taken over their position stood over their scorched remains.
What is Commodus waiting for?
Griffith thought quickly.
Commodus' authority is that of the god of dreams, a mixture of plague, hallucination, and dream. If exposed to this power, it would be difficult for mortals to match the power of the gods.
But Erza's current state is exactly that of a mythical creature whose divinity overwhelms humanity after sacrificing her emotions. The mystery of the dream that entangled her was not enough to shake her.
However, the cost of this resistance is staggering. Griffith has seen this state with his own eyes on Christa and Galadia. Erza's extraordinary characteristics may have gone out of control. Even if she is a demon hunter who specializes in mysterious suppression and has the ability to switch between human and mythical creature states, she cannot stay in chaos for a long time.
Every second of delay will consume her humanity, and eventually, she will fall into an abyss from which she will never return. If she could ever regain her senses...
Finally, the beam locked onto Commodus and was thrown down at a speed that was impossible to dodge.
Commodus just turned sideways. The beam cut through the ground, tearing a shocking crack in the earth.
He just avoided it. In other words, Erza's attack was deflected even slightly.
not good!
Griffith finally understood Commodus's tactics. He turned around quickly and left the battlefield.
Attacking errors is extremely common. However, the lightning thrown by Erza at high speed in the mythical creature state will be deflected, which means that the mystery that can reverse the balance of power has been lowered.
"This king possesses the miracle of dreams," the pale Commodus said with a smile on his lips, "All luck will move closer to the miracle, and all misfortunes will be wiped out."
"This is the law that I am in charge of, and it is destined to change the world!"
Erza, who continued to attack, actually stopped the attack at this time. His emotionless eyes flickered, as if he was making quick error corrections.
"It's useless," Commodus raised his head and said, "The divinity eroding your will does give you a chance to resist this king, but if you lose your humanity, you lose everything.
"If you are in a normal state, even if you cannot defeat me, it will not be difficult to escape."
Commodus raised his right hand and pointed in the air:
"Erza Valkyrie is a human, not an angel."
The white wings surrounding the huntress suddenly lost their power, and Erza immediately fell to the ground.
The light mist skirt and robe surrounding her dispersed together with her wings, exposing her smooth and charming curves, but her beautiful eyes were lifeless. She lay on the grass, stretched out like a lazy queen.
"What a stunner!"
The Imperial Guards swarmed forward, and General Wenke, who took the lead, came the fastest and reached out to catch the distracted Huntress. Just when he was about to succeed, Erza's eyes suddenly became alive.
Wenke's strong arm flew into the air, and suddenly he found a figure flashing behind his right elbow. Wenke didn't even have time to be surprised, as he felt his arms being lifted upwards, his legs being swept away, and his whole body flying upwards.
Erza easily pulled off Wenke's cloak, raised her toes, and kicked the general's spear into her hand.
"careful!"
The guards who came up seemed to have hit an invisible wall. They all stopped and formed a circle while grabbing their weapons.
Everyone saw a white shadow flash under Wenke's cloak, and he flew out in the air.
Elsa was wrapped in a red cloak and stood on the green grass with her bare feet, looking around at the extraordinary beings surrounding her as if she were waiting for an invitation from her dance partner:
"I still need a pair of boots."
A skilled assassin emerged from the shadows and slashed him from behind with a sword.
"Bang!"
The blade hit the gun blade, Erza turned the spear, deflected the assassin's sneak attack, and dodged to the side. The assassin couldn't hold back his feet and rushed forward.
The assassin who attacked from behind suddenly became a target. Erza held the gun barrel and swiped the inside of the assassin's knee. The poor guy immediately fell to the ground and then fainted with a solid blow to the back of his head.
Erza took off the assassin's black over-the-knee boots, put them on her long and straight legs, tapped her toes, and nodded with satisfaction:
“The boots are a little big, but they’re not bad!”
A pair of beautiful eyes boldly and provocatively swept over the frightened Extraordinaries, falling on their coats and robes.
"I think it would be great if I could have a coat, but I'm a little dissatisfied with your style.
"Well, we can put this aside for a while. It would be weird to just wear a coat.
"Dear friends, have you ever..."
The Imperial Guards all took half a step back.
"Enough, stop your farce! Wenke, take your people to guard the perimeter. I don't want to be disturbed." Commodus gave the order, and the guards retreated back like an ebbing tide.
He came in front of everyone and looked at the huntress who had returned to her humanity. "Your personality was only temporarily restored under the influence of my king's Noble Phantasm. In the limited time, is there nothing more meaningful than teasing the loyal and brave soldiers?" ?”
"That's still possible~" the huntress answered honestly.
She looked at the prince with some sympathy and regret: "The God of Dreams has the most powerful authority, the miracle of overwriting reality, and can even dispel divine will...
"Your Excellency uses this power to capture the ancient miracle hidden here, so that you can have the advantage of spiritual power and authority in the upcoming battle of the Hand of God."
"If I can capture you, it will be a worthwhile trip," Commodus whispered, "You are very powerful, but after all, you are alone and have no chance of winning against me and the army.
"The hand of the God of Thunder and Storm, now that you still have half of yourself left, give you one last chance to surrender to me.
"What if I refuse?" Erza asked, "You are going to use this power of overwriting will to turn me into a doll and be your slave? Is it very honorable for a king to lead subjects who have no self-awareness? "
A trace of irritation flashed across Commodus's face, but he quickly returned to being noble and persistent. He didn't want to waste any more time, so he mobilized his authority and said loudly:
"My actions were not motivated by selfishness or selfish desires, and I did not pursue the idea of pursuing miracles based on the pursuit of power or the desire to dominate others...
“I acted out of love, all for this country, and what I judged to be absolutely indispensable.
"Erza Valkyrie, the victory has been decided."
At this command, Erza felt her body extremely heavy, every muscle in her body was forcing her to kneel down, and all her memories evaporated like water under the scorching sun.
She gritted her teeth and made her final resistance, but she didn't give in at all, "Wait, wait a minute,
"There's something..."
Commodus' pressure weakened a bit: "You are allowed to finish."
"Huh -" Erza sighed, and started talking in a messy mind, "Investigators who come to the jungle will prepare survival skills. Especially the food, there is nothing to be picky about, living in the wood The little bugs taste like chicken..."
"What's the use of telling me this?" Commodus asked displeasedly.
"Of course, it works..."
Suddenly there was a rumbling roar on the ground, the woods and shrubs were shaking violently, and the boundless dark breath was rolling in from the distance.
"What's going on?" Commodus asked, "Wink, what happened?"
Only annoying noises came from the echo crystal, and the sentinels lost contact. The gathered guards looked up and subconsciously formed a fighting formation.
Vaguely, everyone heard slurry explosions, sharp whines, screams and indescribable rustling sounds in the distance, like endless locusts coming like a tide.
"Who will tell me what happened!?" Commodus immediately strengthened the pressure of authority and pressed towards Erza, "Tell me, woman, what did you do?"
Erza tried her best to smile, "I'm waiting for reinforcements.
"You, what are you waiting for?"
