1258 Tremendous Changes (2/2)
Backlund, in the battlefield outside the city.
Using Lie to adjust her ”Dragon Transformation” appearance, Audrey and the demigod in Feysacian military uniform, who wore a mask and gloves, engaged in a fierce battle.
The other party's impregnable defense, the broadsword that had been condensed from the light of dawn, the rapier's ability to hide and teleport, left a deep impression on her.
If not for the fact that she knew that the upper echelons of Feysac and Intis were mostly Silver Knights, Demon Hunters, Iron-blooded Knights, War Bishops, Unshadowed, Justice Mentors, Alchemists, and Arcane Scholars, and had gathered intelligence in advance at the Tarot Club and did some homework, Audrey, who lacked individual combat experience, would have long been defeated.
Relying on her accumulated experience in this aspect, she managed to withstand the initial attacks and finally composed herself. Relying on ”Battle Hypnotism,” ”Mind Deprivation,” ”Mind Breath,” and ”Mind Storm,” she slowly turned the situation around and escaped her predicament.
Of course, the most important thing was that the godhood brought about by ”Dragon Transformation” had interfered with the Silver Knight's mind and thoughts. Furthermore, it allowed Audrey to possess a body that could withstand damage, as well as providing a power that could withstand attacks. Otherwise, she would've sustained injuries from barely being able to hold on.
And as a Sequence 3 saint of the Warrior pathway, this Feysacian general had a strong will and uniqueness that was unaffected by illusions. He was able to effectively resist the effects of the mind and reduce the negative effects he received. Therefore, he still held the upper hand and used ”Light Concealment” and ”Silver Rapier” to suppress Audrey in an attempt to create an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
Audrey was very calm about this. This was because, while fighting, she had already created a Virtual Persona. She had diverted her attention to the surrounding environment and had scattered many ”Mental Plague” seeds.
It wouldn't be long before the Feysac general was silently infected!
At this moment, red flaming spears shot over from the allied forces' base, blotting out the sky with their denseness.
The Silver Knight didn't dodge; instead, he took a step forward and swung his sword of dawn, keeping Audrey fixed to the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The burning spears pummeled down one after another, blanketing the two demigods.
Audrey's face could not help but distort. Charred marks covered her grayish-white scales of her ”Dragon Transformation” body. As for the Silver Knight's armor, it was still glowing with silver light. It didn't suffer much of an impact.
Compared to a ”giant” who specialized in defense, a dragon's ability to withstand blows was obviously much weaker.
Only at this point did Audrey realize that she was participating in a war, not in a solo battle.
When another wave of flaming spears was about to hit them, there seemed to be a commotion within the allied forces' base, and there was a collapse to a certain degree.
At that moment, the thick fog that enveloped the entire battlefield vanished, as though it had never existed.
Audrey and the Feysac general stopped fighting at the same time, finding themselves abnormally weak. They even found it difficult to raise their arms.
She saw that, behind the allied forces' base, at the edge of the boundless plains, an orange-red ray of light rushed over, instantly covering half of the sky, blocking out the sun.
The area around Backlund instantly turned into dusk!
The thick darkness appeared on another side of the sky and very quickly collided with the orange sunset.
All the soldiers and officers on the battlefield fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
…
In Backlund City, outside Saint Hierländ Cathedral.
Leonard, who was wearing a red glove, looked up at the half-dark, half-dusk sky.
His throat let out a silent sigh as he cast his gaze at the entrance of the Saint Hierländ Cathedral.
The brown-haired Ikanser Bernard and the other members of the Machinery Hivemind stood there, staring blankly at the sky.
Just a few months ago, they enjoyed a deep level of cooperation with Leonard's Red Gloves team. Together, they dealt with the evil forces in Backlund, searching for the secret organization that believed in The Fool, the one that used tarot cards as a codename.
…
At the bell tower of the Cathedral of Waves, the City of Generosity, Bayam.
Danitz watched the Resistance enter the city and take over many places. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Alger.
”Look, they're very popular in most places in this city.”
Alger's gaze followed the slightly dark-skinned natives as he didn't respond to Danitz.
Danitz felt very relaxed as he chuckled and said, ”I never expected that we would meet again in such a situation.”
Alger looked up and was just about to say something when he suddenly felt something. He cast his gaze towards the northwestern sky.
The place he was looking at instantly darkened. Layers of dark clouds formed and countless silver bolts of lightning snaked out.
Many deep blue waves surged up and were swept up by the wind. They rushed towards the clouds and connected to the sea.
Wherever the sea and the sky intersected, beams of light lit up. They weren't resplendent or clear, without any colors. They seemed to be formed from countless illusory objects.
