Chapter 1398 - The Bloody Battle in the Mountains (2) (2/2)

The continuous gunshots stopped abruptly.

…

“Is that—the Sigil of God’s Will?” On Seagull, Wendy gasped in disbelief.

“Even if it isn’t the Sigil, I’m afraid it is a similar type of magic stone,” Andrea replied with a serious expression on her face. “Lightning, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Her voice came out through the Sigil of Listening. “The enemy should have noticed my presence.”

“Stay there, it is no longer your battle.” Andrea warned. The black ripple that emerged was obviously aimed for Lightning, it was an extremely familiar sight to the Witches that had participated in the ambush at Taquila. It was the special ability Magic Slayers had.

The large-scale emanation of the Magic Slayer’s power was definitely a bane against Lightning’s agile-type powers. Once affected, the simple change in her speed and inertia would lead her to be trapped. The enemy had no doubt considered severing her ability, causing her to drop like a rock before engaging her.

The unfortunate thing was that Lightning took Wendy’s warning and did not charge forward impulsively. This allowed her to shake off the black ripple with the rest of her energy.

“Get Maggie to inform the reinforcements that the assault force might be in trouble.” Andrea looked towards Sylvie. “Have you found the target?”

The latter took a deep breath. “It has already charged up the slope at an extremely fast speed. I haven’t sensed any Eye Demons nearby for now, but I don’t think we have attracted its attention. But the defense line was struck by lightning, I’m afraid they no longer have the means to obstruct the Spider Demons any longer.”

That meant that the soldiers were almost in range of the Monstrous Beast’s stone needles.

But she was too occupied to take that into consideration.

According to Sylvie’s instructions, Andrea found the Magic Slayer’s figure through the aiming lens with much difficulty, but at the same time, her heart sank. Its speed was not only fast, it was so fast that it could be considered as flickering erratically! If one was just slightly slow to catch up, they would have lost its shadow. To seize the opportunity for a shot, they had to be extremely close. Otherwise, the enemy would still be able to avoid her bullets while in flight even if she used her ability.

The other thing that attracted Andrea’s attention was during the First Army’s battle, the completely armored Magic Slayer did not have any blue barrier around its body—this was not something that just speed alone could explain.

During this period of observation, the dark clouds did not dissipate. Gold light converged once more and descended down—

The enemy had unleashed the second God’s Will!

This verified Sylvie’s warning.

The Magic Sayer held an unfathomable magic power capacity.

There was no time to hesitate!

Andrea suppressed the doubts in her heart and shouted to Wendy, “We need to go down, just like how we ambushed Hackzord the other time. As long as we can narrow the gap, I can ensure that the enemy will have no chance of escaping!”

“How close?”

“As long as it’s not within the Magic Slayer’s reach, the closer the better!”

“That’s difficult…” Wendy sighed. “It wouldn’t be a problem if Her Highness Tilly is the pilot, but Miss Shavi is the one piloting now. Not only do I need to control the strength of the wind from multiple directions, I have to pay attention to the enemy, it’s really not an easy thing to do…”

“You’re saying it’s impossible?” Andrea’s heart trembled slightly.

“It’s not impossible, but it requires extreme concentration and an all-out effort—” Wendy closed her eyes, then spoke slowly, “Well, I guess even though I’m old, doing it once occasionally shouldn’t result in too much of an impact.”

Andrea was startled, then the corner of her lips curled upwards.

She recalled Lightning’s remark—everyone would think of Wendy as an amiable senior, but under that gentle and soft appearance was in fact, a firm and determined heart.

If not for that, she would never had used her precise power to break the God’s Stone of Retaliation in front of Cara and save Nightingale.

“Shavi, push down your control stick!” Andrea shouted, “We’re attacking!”
