On the ground, the entire "City of Exile" Molora has fallen into absolute chaos. All law enforcement teams have shrunk to the center of the city to protect the Underground Mausoleum entrance and the library. Knowledge Church, and after venting the anger they had accumulated in their hearts by smashing, looting, and burning in various streets, almost all Exile ers who participated in the riots also began to gather at Church Square.
"It has already exceeded 20,000 people... probably close to 30,000. The square can hardly stand anymore..."
William looked down from above the church with a monocular telescope, quickly calculated the approximate number of mobs, and said to Tia beside him.
The latter stroked a Charm that was as crystal clear as ice, and felt that the specially marked mirrors she had originally arranged near the square had lost contact with each other in the commotion, and her expression became more and more anxious.
"Archbishop Your Excellency," she turned her head and said to Hella Berg, who was also standing by the window with a calm expression. "If this riot continues, it may destroy the entire city."
The old man, who was holding a book in one hand and clasped his other hand behind his back, did not speak. He just smiled and shook his head, as if to say, "This is absolutely impossible."
But in the square below, a limited number of law enforcement teams have been surrounded by a mob dozens of times larger than them. The situation is so precarious that William and Tia cannot believe that Church of Knowledge can persist for too long until the moment Helene returns to the ground.
At this moment, some subtle changes occurred on the battlefield below.
Originally, most of the Exile people did not want to lose their lives because of the riots. They just encouraged their companions to attack the law enforcers and take the opportunity to gain some benefits. It would be best to drive Church of Knowledge out of the city and no longer be bound by rules and regulations.
But suddenly, a strong will to fight arose in the hearts of these Exile practitioners with evil intentions, and their timid steps became firm, and they all rushed towards the black-robed law enforcers who were fully armed and whose combat power far exceeded ordinary people without fear of death.
The law enforcers who had been relatively restrained and focused on defense no longer retained their strength. A considerable number of them were Beyonder, and even Mid Sequence's Hunter, Prisoner, warriors. Flames, Frost and morning light exploded in the crowd, and the smell of burnt and blood gradually filled the square.
In the highest room of the church, William and Tia looked at the sudden changes in the battlefield below in surprise, and then looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
But the next second, the confusion in Tia's dark gray eyes turned into horror. His moist lips opened wide, pointing at William's neck and exclaimed:
"Your neck is bleeding!"
At the same time, William also felt the stinging pain coming from his neck. His head seemed to be pulled upward by invisible hands, and even the cervical vertebrae made a clicking sound, almost torn off.
He pressed the top of his head with one hand to protect his head, and covered his neck with the other hand. He felt thick blood seeping out from between his fingers. His breathing gradually became difficult, and his vision became dim as if he was losing blood.
At this time, Hella Berg reached out to touch the top of his head and pressed it lightly. With a click, William's head, which was about to tear the muscles and break the neck bones and leave the body, returned to its original position, and the pulling force disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that you have also read a lot of books with your captain. This is a good habit. Knowledge is useful at all times."
He said with a pleased tone, came to the window and looked at the square below.
Among the mob that numbered more than 30,000, many people were in a similar situation to William. Most of them were "old residents" who had been in Molora for many years and had gradually become contaminated.
In the law enforcement team composed of "Experiment Personnel", the same situation is also spreading rapidly.
Swish——
The first head to leave the body appeared. It flew up with a white spine with some bloodshot eyes, and rose into the sky on its own. Its headless body chased the head below, knocking away one after another Exile people who were covering their necks and holding their heads.
Swish, swish, more heads flew into the sky.
Looking at this scene, the corners of Hella Berg's mouth were still slightly raised, as if he were smiling, but his amber eyes were cold.
Suddenly, his eyes turned as dark as the night, and a tranquil aura surged out of him, passing through the window and spilling onto the square below, darkening the entire sky, including the clouds that gradually gathered to look like fire.
On Church Square, whether it is the headless body that is chasing the head, or the mob that is becoming more and more ruthless and regardless of life and death, or even the law enforcers who are under unified command and have a tendency to turn from defense to offense, their movements all appear Slowing, as if they are about to fall asleep in a peaceful atmosphere.
Underground Mausoleum, special Mirror World.
The moment he opened his eyes and locked the position of the other two enemies, Helene opened the distance between him and them. He used Demoness's "stealth" to disappear from their sight. At the same time, he spread out high-temperature-resistant pathogens. "Rose Necklace" also quietly switched to the soul of "Imperative Mage".
Without knowing whether the two would give priority to dealing with her, she could only be prepared to fight one against two.
Compared to "Reaper" who was somehow able to control Underground Mausoleum Soldier Puppet but was alone at this time, Gusin pulled everyone into Mirror World. Lisa, with a calm expression and wearing a strange ring, deserved her vigilance.
Perhaps, she is the strongest among the three... Helene thought, and quietly took a few steps back, wanting Gusin to "taste" the power of Demoness of Affliction first.
But Gusin's attention was not focused on Helene at all. He just glanced at Lisa standing among the corpses with a look of horror on his face, and shouted at the place where Helene disappeared:
"That ring! She is Divine Descent Vessel of 'Primordial Demoness'!"
God descends... what the hell?
Helene's brain was sluggish for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the word Gusin said.
This means that Lisa may have the power of True God at the top of "Demoness" Pathway!
Even if it is only one hundredth or one thousandth, that is the status of True God, and she and Gusin, the two Demigod who are not Mid Sequence Beyonder, can never deal with it.
But a question immediately came to her mind:
If Lisa really had such power, would he have been defeated by her and run away last time?
Either there was a limit on the number of uses, or the side effects were so severe that she was reluctant to use it even if her life was in danger, until she entered Underground Mausoleum and came to the core of the seal... If Helene had some realization, his eyes fell on the Sapphire Ring on Lisa's finger, guessing that this item was the key to the "divine descent".
Before she could take any further action, Sapphire drew an elegant arc. Lisa raised his left hand high, with a smile on his face and a bright and majestic look between his eyebrows. Helene, who was invisible, and Gusin, who blurted out the last part of his shout, couldn't look away for a while.
Immediately, a huge red meteorite with trailing flames appeared above the three people. It hit the wilderness full of corpses and puppets at an extremely fast speed, and hit the positions of Helene and Gusin.
In this particular Mirror World, Demoness's invisibility has no effect on Lisa at all!
Helene, who instantly understood this, no longer hid his figure, but raised his right hand and pointed at the meteorite falling rapidly in the sky, announcing as Ancient Hermes:
"Forbidden Here meteorite fell!"
This Prohibition effect with very clear directivity is usually immediate, but the unstoppable meteorite did not react at all and continued to accelerate towards the ground.
"Imperative Mage" but Sequence 4... could this Demoness surpass this level and even reach the status of Angel just by virtue of Sapphire Ring? "Primordial Demoness" probably hasn't descended from the gods yet... Helene's expression froze. Seeing that the meteorite was unstoppable, he immediately turned his target to Lisa himself. A spear that combined the black and white flames of Demoness and Hunter took shape in an instant and was thrown towards her.
But the next second, the burning meteorite fell to the ground, and flames, dust and shock waves instantly swept through the entire wilderness, drowning the figures of Helene and Gusin.
But Lisa still stood there, the impact and high temperature passed by her, only lifting the hem of her skirt, making her long black hair dance like a viper. The dark Flame Spear lost control and failed to hit Demoness.
In her sight, the flames gradually extinguished, and a molten crater appeared on the wasteland where the dust had dispersed.
Further away, pieces of red scales as crimson as the moonlight returned to human form, and the somewhat pale figure of Helene appeared; on the other side of the crater, Gusin's body was burning with flames, his limbs were still sound, but a small metal doll in his arms had been broken into several sections and fell to the ground.
The moment the meteorite fell, Helene switched the necklace to the soul of "Scarlet Scholar" and used "Moonlight Transformation" instead of Mirror Substitution to avoid the explosion.
This was the right choice based on her Spirituality intuition, because at the moment of the explosion, she found that all the mirrors she carried and secretly thrown elsewhere were locked by Lisa. Even Magic Mirror, who was dyed with her own blood and had a mystical connection, could not use it. If she relied on these mirrors as a substitute, she would have been killed just now!
This is the high-level suppression of Demoness. Under that ring, Dual Pathways, who I originally thought was powerful enough, is simply a joke... Her thoughts raced in her mind, and she glanced at Gusin, who had also escaped the meteorite explosion.
This "Reaper" who escaped through the disposable Substitute Doll didn't wait for the flames on his body to go out, half-closed his eyes, and chanted in Ancient Hermes at an extremely fast speed:
"The great God of War, the symbol of iron and blood, the master of turmoil and strife..."
As he read out the three-part Honorific Name, the entire special Mirror World seemed to dim, and even the flames caused by the meteorite explosion swayed, as if some great existence was about to descend here.
Lisa, who raised his left hand again to summon the second meteorite, opened his eyes wide and looked at Gusin curiously. His eyes were as innocent as a child's, as if he was expecting something.
In Helene's expectant eyes and Lisa's deliberate waiting, nothing happened.
The most surprising thing was Gusin, who raised his arms as if to welcome the arrival of a certain being. His expression was dull, he looked left and right, and he didn't know whether he should put down his raised hands.
"How about I give you some time to read it again?"
Lisa's voice became increasingly sweet and playful, causing Gusin's face to turn completely white and lose all color.
Only then did he realize that he was just the abandoned son of Great Existence, a tool just like the countless Exile ers he sent to explore the tomb.
The power to control the puppets and avoid contamination is just money to buy his life.
No wonder Iris Medici looked at me at the end as if he was saying goodbye... His mouth was dry and his eyes were no longer bright.
"Haha..."
Amidst Lisa's deep, heart-stirring and despairing laughter, the second meteorite appeared again in the sky above Mirror World, dragging the same tail flame and hitting the ground.
Then the third one, the fourth one...
A total of five meteorites fell one after another. This time, even if Helene allowed himself to truly become moonlight, he would not be able to avoid the explosion that would completely cover the entire space.
Looking at the flames that almost filled the sky, the ruby on Helene's chest kept flashing, sometimes revealing deep blue, sometimes containing lava. Various abilities flashed rapidly in her mind, but none of them could solve these meteorites, which were probably caused by Angel's Demoness, and save her own life.
Unless we can escape from this Mirror World... that's right!
Helene's eyes lit up, then turned dark gold, and the "Rose Necklace" on her neck also glowed with the same light.
"Imperative Mage", "Deprivation"!
She stretched out her hand, her eyes locked on Lisa's graceful and attractive body, and shouted in Ancient Hermes.
It's useless. The ability of "Catastrophe" comes from the gift of Primordial. It comes from this ring which is equivalent to the "0" level Sealed Artifact. It is not something you and that necklace can affect... Lisa squinted his eyes and looked at Helene, who was struggling in vain, with hatred in his heart again. He had already imagined in his mind what the other party would look like after being blown into a charred corpse by successive high temperatures and shock waves, and a sadistic pleasure arose spontaneously.
But then, she found that Special Mirror World, which was originally dark and illuminated by the fire of the meteorite, suddenly became brighter, as if the outside was being burned, and invisible flames poured into the space from all directions, almost breaking through it.
Impossible... this special Mirror World is going to collapse?
Lisa's eyes widened slightly, and then he immediately understood the problem.
Her ability to control "Mirror World" was compromised by Helene Deprivation!
This is not due to the gift of Primordial Demoness, nor does it involve the personality of Angel. It is just the "desperate" ability that she, who is only "Affliction" Demoness, can possess in advance with the enhancement of Sapphire Ring.
When the external "Salinger’s Blood Banner" was touched by the flames set off by Helene and began to spontaneously try to conquer this Mirror World, Lisa lost this ability, which was equivalent to giving up control over it.
The invisible flames that gradually poured in from everywhere destroyed the barrier between reality and Mirror World, completely destroying this space.
There was a crunching sound of glass being crushed, and the Corpse Mountain, burning meteorite and huge wilderness in front of Helene, Gusin and Lisa had countless cracks like a broken mirror, quickly shattered, and then were replaced by another scene.
It was a platform at the top of a mountain covered with fog that cut off Spirituality from sight, and piled with countless corpses. Invisible flames emerged and extinguished from the corpses. In the center of the group of corpses, a two- to three-meter-high iron-black metal pole stood upright. A burnt flag hung at the top. There were a large number of dark red and black blood spots on the flag, and there were traces of blood.
That is Uniqueness of "Red Priest" Pathway, Grade 0 Sealed Artifact numbered "01", "Salinger’s Blood Banner" who rules Molora, and is sealed by Molora.
