Chapter 54 A Surprise Attack on Night City
Chapter 54 A Surprise Attack on Night City
Unlike the Green Valley of the past.
When Vishi returned, he felt a chilling atmosphere.
A large number of golems emerged from the teleportation array, and countless people were dug out of the golems.
Some are lucky enough to be saved.
Those with worse luck turned into bloody mush on the spot.
Vishi continued along the familiar path, the smell of blood on the battlefield growing stronger, and the magical fluctuations becoming extremely chaotic.
She could no longer see the small market of the past, and her small warehouse was used as a front-line emergency room to save those who could still be saved.
She gripped the scroll in her hand and immediately felt an invisible pressure.
At that moment, the wall next to them trembled, and a huge earth-burrowing loach burst out of the ground, baring its fangs and claws. Its flesh and blood were extremely thick, and a person was fused with it on its back, roaring.
It is a monster of the Child of Shadows.
"Damn it, guards!"
The healing mages were immediately alarmed. They didn't have much combat power; they had only learned healing spells. Against this monster, their combat power was even inferior to that of the adventurers!
At that moment, Vishi sidestepped, leaped across the stone wall, and threw a simple punch that shattered the skull of the Shadow Child.
The blood energy contained within surged along the monster's body, instantly destroying its form and crushing its demonic core.
This was the experience she gained from tempering her bones; now she knew the weaknesses of her body inside and out.
"Uh, thank you?"
Vichy didn't stop, continuing down the tunnel dug by the mudskipper.
They soon arrived at the very front of the entire Green Valley Underground City.
She looked up and saw that the intensity of the war had suddenly more than doubled.
Flesh and golems clashed, the Pegasus of Law was stained crimson, and clumps of blood coalesced into new monsters, thus greatly increasing the power of the vampire's blood magic.
Death is everywhere here.
At that moment, a burst of light suddenly erupted from the demon horde of the Shadow Child.
It was Hegesius, who was leading his legion in a rampage, attempting to tear through the Shadow Children's defenses.
But the enemy's patience was far greater than he had imagined. They had been fighting fiercely for almost a day, and reinforcements from the other side kept emerging from the night.
Vichy looked at the scene and felt a sense of familiarity.
Isn't this exactly the situation from my first battle with the Child of Shadows?
If I hadn't figured out the Thunder Fist myself, I would have been worn down by them sooner or later!
Can Hegeus withstand it?
Clearly, Hegeus could not.
After the divine magic reached a certain limit, the Pegasus's output plummeted instantly, and they all fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Captain, we can't hold on."
"We've suffered too many losses; a third of our brothers are already dead!"
Quinn's voice roared in Hegesius's ear.
The blades in their hands were long dulled, and the gaps in their armor were filled with blood and grease.
The Law Knights brought a total of 42 Pegasus horses on this trip, but now less than half of them are still in combat strength, and none of them are in peak condition!
If this continues, they will definitely lose!
"If we can't find Night Capital, this will never end!"
Hegesius heard Quinn's words and struggled deeply within himself.
Fulfilling one's sense of justice is no easy task, and countless people die on the way.
But if they retreat now, Edith will be left to fend for themselves, and the adventurers' puppet army will suffer a chain reaction, losing the positions they have occupied.
Damn it, is there really no way?
O Emperor! Why not grant me more power, so that I may continue to burn?!
Hegesius prayed, his heart roaring.
He hoped that the law of faith would grant him an epic miracle.
Seeing the flesh-and-blood monsters surround him once again, Hegesius felt increasingly tormented and conflicted.
Just then, the roars and howls on the battlefield fell completely silent.
A beam of blood-red light exploded from above, and complex incantations spread like lightning serpents, instantly enveloping the entire area!
Hegesius suddenly looked up at the sky and saw a blood-red sun hanging high in the sky, radiating light.
Hegesius felt as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.
The next moment, the oppressive power of the blood sun suddenly descended!
All the vampires present, and all their creations, seemed to have encountered their own god; the weak died instantly, turning into blood and gore.
The powerful were forced to kneel, their magical power restless and completely unusable.
"What is this...?"
"It's... forbidden magic!"
Sometime later, Edith appeared behind Hegesius, seemingly intending to help him escape.
But at this moment, her face was contorted in extreme pain. The blood sun had the same effect on her, and now it was Hegesius who had to protect her.
"Forbidden magic? That blood magic that only vampire royalty can wield?"
"But where are the Blood Kings here? Are they Blood Demons?"
"Fool! How could the Blood Demon betray them?"
Edith laughed in anger. She pointed ahead, and the flesh and blood creatures that had previously blocked their way were instantly melted and disintegrated.
Clearly, the forbidden magic is targeting the Child of Shadows.
At that moment, the knights of law suddenly let out a few gasps of surprise.
The two turned around and their faces twitched.
"How did you get here?"
"This is not a place for you, Vichy!"
Vishi slowly raised his head to look at them. The bloodshot in his eyes had faded considerably and was returning to pure black.
She raised the scroll in her hand, indicating:
"Stop talking nonsense, the scroll the princess gave me won't last long."
"We must find Night City, destroy the altar, and kill the Blood Demon before this calamity can end."
Edith looked at Vichy with immediate suspicion and uncertainty.
Princess? Blood Saint Princess?
What's going on?
"Ha, I wish I could, but we can't find Night Capital. The Children of Shadows have hidden Night Capital too well."
Hegeus smiled wryly.
"I'll lead the way. I've been to the night capital; I can still smell that scent, at least for now."
"...I understand you less and less, Vichy."
Edith shook her head. She had always thought that Vichy's blessing came from the Night City, but now it seemed that the situation was much more complicated than she had imagined.
Vichy said nothing more and immediately hurried along a certain path.
The scroll that was just activated is rapidly depleting some kind of "balance" on her body, which should be the royal blood that Vivian mentioned.
Thinking about it this way, it's probably related to how she was able to find Yodo's trail as soon as she entered Midoriya.
at the same time.
The impact of banning magic is spreading rapidly.
Night City.
The Blood Demon, who was still recovering and stabilizing his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes.
He found that the magical circuits within him were restless, as if they wanted to break free from his body and return to somewhere else.
He had felt that way before.
It was that night.
The Blood Saint Princess is summoning herself.
But he hadn't thought about it any further.
Mansa's voice came from the side.
"Ah, it seems the moment of destiny has arrived, Sargeras."
"Vichy is leading the dogs away as they attack."
"I really don't understand. Even if she is special, she shouldn't have been able to destroy your clone with only second-tier strength."
"You owe us an explanation, Sargeras, now, immediately!"
