Kylie's body turned to wind and sped through the castle. She couldn't believe what Jared was saying, why would her father want to kill her? What kind of question is that? Kylie felt like her mind was in such a mess, she didn't even know what to think.
With the soft tones of the chanting, a spray of water blasted through, and Kylie was suddenly startled, and then quickly stepped back. Her body broke away from the wind and returned to its original form. Kylie stood there, staring at Serenity with an uneasy and puzzled look. The young knight was still wearing her gorgeous armor, the soul call hanging from her waist was shining more and more brightly, and although her face was filled with uncontrollable fatigue, Serenity's eyes were still determined.
"Although I already knew that you had risen into the range of a Trainee Praetorian, it really surprised me that you were able to become attuned to the Spirit of Magic in such a short period of time. But it's a great pity that you've only just risen into this field after all, whereas Wendy and I have been in this field for a long time."
"Also known as the experience gap, huh? Ms. Kelly."
Wendy came up behind Kylie at some point and said, in a more even tone than Serenity's.
"You guys ..."
"The Lord Guardian commissioned us to leave you behind as a precautionary measure, but any element that could be a surprise to the plan must be eliminated."
The light danced around Wendy, and then condensed into a beautiful unicorn, which held its head high and gazed at Kelly with indifference.
"Wendy? Even if you stop it, would it be too much to release your own guardian beast?"
Serenity was also slightly surprised, after all, the Guardian Elf was not something that could be taken out casually, it represented the beginning of the real battle, but in any case, Kylie was not their enemy!
"Any unforeseen factors that interfere with the plans of the Lord of Cthulhu are to be erased..."
Wendy paid no attention to what Serenity was saying, but continued to gaze at Kelly and said, almost mechanically.
"... very sorry, I have to go over there."
Kelly stood up straight, and what little hesitation there was in her face disappeared.
"That's my father, and I'm going to protect him no matter what."
"This ... I certainly know ..."
Serenity sighed slightly, it was obvious that it was impossible to persuade Kylie to turn back, so the only thing to do was to try to defeat her with the least amount of damage in the shortest possible time. After all, against the two trainee chanters, Kylie, who had just risen to the chanting realm, was far behind in both strength and experience. So she took two steps back, drew her Soul Call, and the water elemental condensed in front of her, transforming into a guardian spirit once again.
"Kelly, hate to do this, but there's no way around it now ..."
Marion didn't say anything, but then she raised her hand, and five fire snakes appeared in a flash, roaring at the two. This made Serenity laugh and cry, as the instantaneous attack that was the hallmark of a magician was a child's play in the realm of chanting. She didn't even need to dodge, the Guardian Elf in front of her was more than capable of deflecting this level of magic.
"Ding ... ding ding ding ding ..."
The moment the fire serpent struck the two guardian spirits, a rhythmic percussion sounded, followed by Kylie's chanting like the silence of a deep forest.
This made both of them froze, they also started chanting almost at the same time, three different tones of song interacted and entwined, a huge magic began to take shape, now it was just a competition of whose tone was more beautiful, more rhythmic and beautiful, as well as faster speed to weave the chant ...
"?"
Suddenly dropped a blackness in front of her eyes, Serenity couldn't help but take half a step back, but the place where she put her feet was soft and strange, she subconsciously looked down, and in just a moment, Serenity felt extreme fear, if she hadn't quickly lowered her pitch and chose to interrupt the chant, I'm afraid that the uncontrollable screaming would've instantly caused her to suffer the repercussions of the spirit of magic, right?
If there's one thing women fear more than anything else, it's this.
A spider, or a snake.
What prevented Serenity from continuing to sing was a myriad of large, black spiders, intertwined and overlapping, crawling around aimlessly as if they were moving carpets.
On the other side, Wendy's chanting stopped just as suddenly, and it was clear that she, too, had not been able to escape the instinctive fear of women.
Kelly sure has a knack for learning.
Although the time of singing is almost counted in seconds, it is enough to decide the winner in this situation. The beautiful singing voice in the air cut a perfect stop, the original gathering of magic power in an instant burst, the roaring wind swept the entire corridor, when the two opened their eyes again, Kylie has long disappeared.
"She got away!!!"
The longsword in Serenity's hand suddenly slashed down, stabbing dead center into a spider that hadn't had time to escape, and with a tone of remorse she said.
The black whirlwinds that flew by weren't particularly conspicuous, but whenever he saw them, Julio felt as if his heart twitched.
Jared, with his black blades, charged into the army in a fast attack. Every time the black light flashed, a soldier's head would fall to the ground, and even when pressed by sheer numbers, the fragile barrier would crumble in an instant. Even if they could barely pull away and stab with their spears, the figure of the young man was still as unreal as if they were not sure, was it really a human being? For a moment, Julio was so shocked by his own thoughts that his fingers shook gently.
Was it a mistake of judgment on my part not to order the archery team to shoot in the first place?
If Jared now heard his inner remorse, he would be kind enough to reassure him that even if he did let those thousand archers shoot, they wouldn't hurt a hair on his head.
A longsword slashed across Jared's back, piercing through the center of his back. But before the soldier could smile, his cheek shattered in an instant like a distorted mirror, and Jared, who was supposed to have been attacked by him, appeared behind the unlucky soldier, but he didn't even look at the fallen fool, and continued to disappear in full view of the crowd, setting off another bloodbath of carnage.
"Back up! Back off!!!"
Once again, Julio's orders were not carried out, for at the same time, the army in the rear suddenly began to stir. Blasts of lightning and thunder raged through the crowd, tearing out deep wounds without a care in the world. Caroline stepped forward as if she were walking on a cloud. The twilight of the gods with its flashes of lightning coiled around her feet like a serpent waiting for an opportunity to strike. No one dared to approach Caroline, for with just one blow, fifty knights, heavily armed and charging at her, fell to the ground, screaming and moaning along with their horses.
The serpent retracted in an instant, transforming into its original runic sword. Without looking, Caroline flipped the sword and pulled the trigger in the direction of her right side.
"BANG!!!"
A man hidden in the crowd, cowering and poking his head out to peek in, fell with a loud thud, his eyes wide open, completely unaware of what was happening to him.
But there was nothing left to think about in that brain that had been turned over by the force of the impact.
The soldiers scattered with a bang, even the commander was beaten in the midst of thousands of troops and couldn't even keep his head, so wouldn't they, the pawns, be worse off?
(You haven't forgotten our plan.)
Caroline withdrew her sword and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the blood off of it. She was completely oblivious to the fact that she was surrounded by spears and swords. But it seemed that those people had more right to be afraid than she did.
"Of course not."
The black shadows that were originally flowing clouds now turned into two, probably because they were too slow to kill, the two swords in Jared's hands had already started the most efficient selection and movement. Just as the surrounding soldiers managed to use the flesh and blood of their compatriots as a shield to maintain a distance from this murderous demon, Jared's figure suddenly disappeared in plain sight, and then the firelight that had been used to illuminate the surrounding area was dimmed in an instant, and then, accompanied by the screams of a pig, the other side of the crowd began a new killing - A few meters or a few dozen meters? What difference does it make?
Two against ten thousand is a joke.
That's if these 10,000 people are united as one.
Obviously, this joint - or motley crew - doesn't have that quality.
Julio was no longer able to take charge of the situation, and the attack from the front and the rear caused his army to completely disorganize and collapse in a moment. The number of people killed was acceptable, but the rumor that the army had been shaken had spread faster than a mouse.
"Just two men stopped an army ..."
The rumors got more and more exaggerated, to the point that some people even rumored that it was a surprise attack by the elite troops of the empire. These rumors were more panic than panic, and even Julio couldn't stop them, the only thing he could do now was to blend in with the crowd and minimize the distance between himself and the soldiers. As a commanding officer who had excelled in one area or another, he had found that the enemy, both in front and behind him, preferred to take advantage of those who were in command.
Like a dragon, Jared cuts his way through the crowded ocean, overwhelmingly confusing and disrupting everything around him, and then diving into the water, waiting to reappear and make waves.
Contrary to him, Caroline would never allow a soldier to come within a two-meter radius of her crime, and there was always a circular gap in front of her, behind her, and to her left and right - those who got in the way were either swept away by the lightning-flashing whips, or were shot down by the guns of the rune-shaped thin swords before they had a chance to rush forward. And then the sword flashed with countless bright flashes of fire, even if a hundred arrows had been fired at Caroline at the same time, she would have been able to catch them all with ease.
No surprise, no retreat.
Just as Julio was frantically trying to think of a countermeasure, the firelight around him suddenly dimmed, and then Jared's face appeared in front of him with an easy smile.
"Good evening, sweet dreams, goodbye."
Julio opened his mouth to cry out, but the cold blade of the sword had already penetrated his wide-open mouth, preventing him from wailing one last time.
