But Blake wasn't so easily fooled. She frowned, glanced around, and then coldly asked Yue*yi-*-mark/mark.
Where is Theresa?
Chapter 334: Barrier
Everyone was here preparing to defend against the enemy, but then Theresa, one of the core main forces, suddenly disappeared. Is this something a human could do?
Faced with Blake's questioning, Dalmatian did not panic, but instead looked at the approaching biological current.
The sheer number of these creatures resembles frog eggs in a pond, the writhing tentacles of a squid, or the grotesque compound eyes of a crocodile, creating a sense of despair and fear through sheer numbers.
However, it is they themselves who are filled with despair and fear.
These tens of thousands of creatures were well aware of the witch's village's power, but under the god's mocking gaze, they could only be like live fish in hot water, struggling to leap out of the boiling pot before death arrived.
Even if all they have to do after leaping out of the hot pot is slowly suffocate on the ground, they still have to do it.
You don't need a reason to live.
As Del Marie gauged the speed of these creatures, she slightly clenched her fingers, and magic enveloped her arm guard-like staff, emitting a pure white light that caused the surrounding fireflies to rise.
She is activating the village's protective barrier.
"Theresa is on high alert high in the sky. The strength of this meteor dragon is a bit beyond our expectations, which means she has to weaken the power it unleashes when it descends in order to ensure that the barrier does not explode prematurely."
Blake frowned, only half believing this explanation.
Theresa certainly didn't only just find out about the strength of this Meteor Dragon now, otherwise, her prior preparations would be inexplicable.
Blake had been secretly spying on the Skyfall Dragon for a day and a half, but he hadn't seen Theresa at all!
No hair at all!
However, to avoid being tricked during the battle later, Blake narrowed his eyes and remained silent, intending to settle accounts slowly after the hunt.
As they were talking, the village's protective barrier was officially activated.
Jiang Kehan looked up in shock. The deep blue lines seemed to be drawn from all directions by dozens of artists at the same time, and then slowly outlined a cold and sharp edge, covering the entire village.
Like a majestic peak falling from the sky and piercing the heavens, or the cold and austere Great Wall, it instantly transformed the simple village into a battlefield forged by iron and blood.
Jiang Kehan thought of those witch towers in the future that seemed to be able to touch the starry sky; perhaps the style of the witch towers evolved from such barriers.
Their purposes are almost the same: to protect the witch.
Upon seeing the barrier transform into a semi-transparent Great Wall, the driven creatures grew increasingly desperate, but gradually their fear subsided. Instead, they stared intently at the area with their crimson eyes, emitting various low, guttural roars.
Jiang Kehan's expression was stern; she knew that these desperate people were prepared to burn their bridges.
And Del Marie knew this too. She raised her left hand, and the witches standing to her left scattered and flew upwards.
The Great Wall fortress has special sections at intervals, arranged in a chessboard pattern, making full use of the witch's ability to fly.
These zones were specifically set up to amplify the power of witch spells. Witches stationed here are skilled in large-scale damage spells and are essentially human artillery turrets.
But the barrier was not only like that; Jiang Kehan noticed that the sky was gradually darkening, yet it seemed to contain some kind of firelight.
The remaining witches exchanged glances and, without waiting for Del Marie's orders, voluntarily left the barrier to hunt down the large level 5 creatures in the biological wave, preventing them from approaching the barrier in groups.
The battle began in the blink of an eye.
"What's accumulating in the sky is heavenly fire, specifically for dealing with spells inscribed on waves of creatures like this."
Seeing Jiang Kehan's curiosity, Blake, who was standing next to her with his arms crossed, explained to her.
"These kinds of barriers can accumulate magical power in advance, and use this magical power, which is far beyond what a normal witch can reach, to release spells that only exist in hypothetical scenarios."
"For example, the one above our heads is a pseudo-level 7 giant spell called 'Silent Fire,' which used at least 20 mana."
"If it's aimed at witches, then it's a single-target pseudo-level 8 spell with a lock-on effect: Aurek's Piercing Spear. Hmm, very strong."
Blake rubbed her kidneys, her eye twitching slightly, clearly indicating that she had experienced this spell before.
Jiang Kehan really wanted to know what Blake had done to force a village to attack him; it was so hard to guess.
But her attention was focused on the barrier at that moment, and she missed a good opportunity to tease the other person.
This barrier is far more complex than it appears, and the effects described by Blake are only one of the thousands of abilities it possesses.
Over the past two days, under Ye Yu's guidance, Jiang Kehan has gained a basic understanding of the concepts and classic cases of array formations.
From a later perspective, the most significant feature of this barrier is actually its functionality.
In order to resist various situations and better protect the village, the entire barrier made trade-offs in terms of power, opting for stronger defensive capabilities.
After all, witches don't lack damage; their main attack is powerful brick-throwing attacks.
However, when faced with a horde of creatures that outnumbers the witch by a thousand times, some will inevitably slip through and reach the barrier, making defenses for various situations even more crucial.
After all, nobody wants to lose their home while fighting.
Yes, if Jiang Kehan is not mistaken, this barrier can take the entire village into the air, allowing for an early escape if necessary.
Witches are, after all, somewhat homesick.
While Jiang Kehan was pondering the details of the barrier, the silent fire that Blake had mentioned had already unleashed its power and begun its first wave of attack.
The sky, which was originally somewhat dim, suddenly became as transparent as a mirror, and even emitted a faint pure white light.
Some thumb-sized white lights then drifted down, like God idly flicking the tails of fireflies and scattering white stars.
It may seem romantic, but once these white lights come into contact with other creatures, they will penetrate into them and cause a burning sensation inside the creatures, making them suffer unbearable pain.
There was no firelight, only roars and blood.
Driven by some unknown force, these creatures, feeling immense pain, began to attack indiscriminately, greatly slowing down the advance of the biological tide.
As the fighting continued, the white light would spread further with the biting and other actions, like a spark falling on dry grass, which would then ignite a sea of fire that was millions of times larger than itself.
At this moment, the witch, who had been hiding, appeared above the heads of the different level 5 creatures, taking advantage of the chaos and fighting to deliver a fatal blow to them.
Jiang Kehan looked at this scene, opened her mouth, and asked Ye Yu a question.
"The Silent Flame is actually a spell of the Demon Weaving faction?"
"Well, strictly speaking, it is a product of the hybrid concepts of cult and magic weaving, a semi-finished product researched by Eva Carson, one of the Kings."
"If I remember correctly, she will be traveling to Riemann during this period, and perhaps you will have the opportunity to meet her."
Ye Yu said this.
Chapter 335 Heavenly Meteor Dragon
Jiang Kehan shuddered, her expression somewhat strange.
She was somewhat wary of the witch who could create such bizarre magic, after all, she didn't consider herself to be good at scheming and plotting.
Those who play with cult classics are all dirty-minded, those who play with brocade are all ruthless, and those who play with both, especially one of the founders, Eva Carson, are incredibly terrifying.
However... Jiang Kehan felt like she had heard this name somewhere before.
As she recalled, her expression suddenly became even more bizarre.
"Could this gentleman/lady be the future great eleventh seat?"
"So you knew?" Ye Yu raised her eyes and chuckled softly.
"There are three great ones in Fran: the first seat, Shining Lilith; the eleventh seat, Gentleman Eva; and the twelfth seat, which is also the last seat, Dragon Queen Eliot."
"If Keva Miller hadn't been killed, she probably could have been a match for Hua Liang, who is currently the Great Third Seat."
Of the four noble princes of the Society era, two died in war, while the two who survived became great, and their intelligence and talent would still be considered top-notch even in the future.
As Ye Yu spoke, he suddenly remarked something that piqued Jiang Kehan's curiosity about Keva Miller's death.
The top three are generally considered to be monsters among the greats, each capable of sweeping aside the other nine, and even the remaining nine together couldn't defeat them.
Revered as a life that transcends the limitations of its time, it symbolizes the morning star, the endpoint of the witch's evolution.
This is also one of Jiang Kehan's ultimate desires.
As the two were talking, the battle scene changed again.
The Silent Fire can inflict the most damage on a horde of creatures with the least amount of magic, but ultimately the magic that the barrier can store is limited, and no matter how good the effect is, it cannot be continuously invested in this spell.
The number of creatures far exceeds 20. Even if 1 point of magic can kill 1 creature, it can only stop the first wave of impact.
But that's enough. This delay is enough for the witches to hunt down most of the level 5 creatures before they enter the battlefield. The rest will definitely be no match for the ensuing flood of spells.
The witches within the barrier began to unleash their fully charged area-of-effect spells. Their spellcasting was rhythmic, forming a tidal surge that mutually reinforced each other.
This tacit understanding, based on villages, amplified the bombing's power but also prevented witches like Jiang Kehan and Blake, who lacked teamwork, from helping out.
That's why Dill Marie didn't assign the two of them any tasks.
Jiang Kehan felt like her eyes were going blind. This level of magical torrent was completely different from the dazzling tactics she had devised during her time as a little witch. It changed the weather with the purest light pollution, rather than a magical effect like blinding spells.
This is also the effect that Del Marie and other witches sought.
The surrounding energy began to become chaotic, and the light pollution from the spells was enough to block their vision, forcing these creatures to begin a brutal trampling of each other.
Unlike the helplessness of a crowd when trampled, these creatures possess considerable strength. When trampled, they instinctively bite and retaliate, causing the speed of the biological tide to decrease again, becoming increasingly chaotic and giving the witches more time to unleash their attacks.
Thus, in conjunction with the hunting operations of the witches on the battlefield, the wave gradually subsided and subsided.
But Dear Mary's expression remained serious, even more wary.
“Blake, it’s time for us to get ready.”
The prelude to the battle has already begun, a magnificent carpet of blood has spread, and the hunters of gods, high in the starry sky, will soon arrive.
This time, Blake didn't laugh. She took out her silver two-handed greatsword, stood next to Del Marie, and her expression was not pleasant.
With her strength, she would only be able to run away from this meteor dragon. Even if she played a supporting role, she would most likely still get beaten up.
Blake's fighting style doesn't really match her suave and roguish personality. With the magical property of Silver Cliff, she is destined to be able to outlast most of her enemies as long as she plays it safe and steady.
Therefore, her fighting style leans towards a heavy, solid knight-like approach, with her strengths being her steady, reliable, and tanky nature.
Del Marie, on the other hand, takes the agile route. After all, her magical properties are only average, and she relies more on hard power.
Well, in this hunt, he'll probably be a meat shield, used to take hits.
After all, her raw skill level is lower than Blake's, so she doesn't have the opportunity to unleash her full potential.
At that moment, the two of them simultaneously raised their heads and looked up at the sky. They had a premonition that the Heavenly Meteor Dragon was coming.
"boom!"
