Chapter 2 Annihilation, as you wish
Halandil cannot fully control his own power. What he can know is that his current body has extraordinary abilities, the "traveler" route is the "Ranker". He is quick and agile, good at long-distance shooting, has powerful battlefield perception and detection capabilities, and is good at hiding and discovering traps.
According to the memories left by his predecessor Halandir, he should also have a bursting ability that can greatly increase the attack and movement speed, causing a lot of damage to the enemy in a short period of time. Strangely, Luoan, who has merged with Halandir, cannot use this ability.
Halandil lost something.
In this world, extraordinary people can be divided into sequences 9 to sequence 7 according to their ability and strength, and above them are extraordinary people from sequence 6 to sequence 4. Creatures with these abilities not only have powerful bodies, but also use spiritual power called "psychic energy" as energy source to make a force projection beyond the limits of human beings.
The extraordinary person in Sequence 8 is the backbone of the world's combat power, but not strong. If you cannot find a way to improve yourself as soon as possible, Halandir will find it difficult to break free from the fate of a slave. Reincarnation in one battlefield and forced hibernation, death and collapse are a matter of time.
The companions hidden nearby also have this fate. The elite team directly belonged to the squadron leader Bren originally had 12 people, but now only 7 people are left, including him. If Luo An had not come to this world magically, Halandir would have been removed from the list of survivors.
"Have you heard of it? Squadron E encountered the White Death in the neighboring area last week."
In the quiet echo communication, the Ranger Lu Ping suddenly muttered, interrupting Halandier's thoughts. His voice was very light, as if he was telling a nightmare, describing some mysterious monster that was indescribable or even unimaginable. Halandier's divergent thoughts were gathered back and became calm and alert.
This is a maddening, hysterical, and even over-exaggerated monster that circulates in the mouth of a veteran who wakes up from the freezing cold, raucous, radiant, echoing at the end of the stream of life.
Some people say it is some kind of mysterious creature located at the extraordinary level, with curly tentacles and a big mouth that devours people. The half-elves that were ravaged by it left their broken, charred or flattened bodies, and the methods of death come in all kinds of strange ways, like an ant killed by a naughty child.
No ranger has ever seen this white god of death, or no one can tell its full picture after seeing the white god of death. Those half-elf soldiers who did not die immediately and were tortured in pain and horror were left with only some confusing words and swallowed.
The only information extracted from the disorganized report is that the creature's appearance is white, the merciless killing half-elf ranger, leaving no trace of blood or traces. Before the powerful reinforcements arrived, the monster had left, and reaped all the lives of the war zone it ravaged like death.
The half-elves in the squadron's voice became heavy in a brisk tone, and everyone speculated about what kind of monster this was. They were veterans and not cowards, but they were still afraid of the unknown fear of being unable to counter terrorism.
"This thing may be a monster raised by orcs," said Captain Bren, "it must be unstable and not many, otherwise our front line would have been broken long ago."
"Can it be an energy creature?" Kha asked.
"From the burning corpses, it is possible, but what about those torn and crushed corpses? Is there a monster that can use current and fire, and has a huge body shape and amazing power?" Brown seemed to be talking to himself. He is a half-elf with very thin elves, his name and appearance are very similar to humans. He was almost eliminated from the ranger team by his superiors and threw them into the human squad.
"Dragon," Pilottis whispered, "the dragon can do it."
"hiss--!"
Everyone took a breath of cold air. I heard that in the distant Eastern battlefield, the orcs found Bemon from somewhere and defeated Canaan's human allies.
After hearing this conversation, Halandil felt that his distraction should be over. He had many things to do, but the first thing he had to do was to leave the battlefield alive.
Halandir has only done this in another world game to fight against the behemoth with weak humanoid units.
The extraordinary person with mysterious power, physical constitution, strength, agility, perception and spirit are all above mortals. The extraordinary person who is stronger than the extraordinary has more unimaginable abilities. The most powerful demigod even has the power to change the rules.
In this world, people say there are monsters, but there may be some kind of monster.
Seeing that everyone was scared, Pilottis hurriedly comforted: "I'll just say it! Don't scare yourself. The appearance of extraordinary creatures will not be without warning.
"The stronger the mysterious creature, the more obvious the dispersion and disturbance of the psychic energy is, and it is easy to be detected by prophecy and divination. Whether it is a dragon or a monster, as long as it arrives on the battlefield, the arranged detection will find some clues. The official will arrange for us to retreat or mobilize the strong to come and fight.
"If the existence of the extraordinary rank could easily destroy us, then the situation on the battlefield would have been like this long time ago, okay!"
"Oh-!" All the rangers, including the squadron leader, exclaimed seriously, "It is worthy of being Pilottis, who can easily see through the truth that we cannot understand."
"His frontline executive, this is Brun Squadron," the squadron leader began to contact the upper elves who monitored the battlefield. "Please give us battlefield surveillance information. We suspect that the White Death may attack here."
The noble elves came to contact him after a while: "Alpha-1653, there is no powerful psychic signal in your position. Keep sticking to the battlefield and waiting for instructions."
After receiving this reply, the squadron leader also felt at ease: "Everyone is vigilant and be careful to reconnaise. Our main task is to prevent the opponent's infantry from attacking again."
Yes, be alert, I could even turn my eyes into a naked eye! After coming to this world, I still have the ability of extraordinary people to bless you, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
It's 8:20 am now. If you hold on for a while, reinforcements will arrive and I will retreat to the rear. I will try to see if I can change the status quo during my vacation... What is that?!
Halandir was muttering to cheer himself up while looking around. At this moment, he vaguely saw ripples like ripples appearing in the air dozens of meters away. He looked like a human, or a floating jellyfish floating through the air, and his transparent body almost integrated with the environment.
Enemy, this is the enemy's invisible unit!? How did it avoid reconnaissance? How did it suddenly appear at such a close distance?
Before he could take action, a sharp arrow had already shot over and brushed through the edge of the transparent entity.
"Enemy situation!"
Halandil also hurriedly bent his bow and shot, while holding the echo crystal tightly. He could hear the messy echoes and the nervous shouts of his companions. Several rangers noticed the threat and issued warnings, but the communication was intermittent. They shot continuous arrows, and there was another one in the middle of each three, dragging a bright track to indicate the enemy's direction for the companions who were beyond their reach.
The transparent living creature began to transform, condensed into overwhelming frost. The withered earth was instantly wrapped in vast white frost. A ranger not far away was about to be surrounded by frozen and hurriedly left the position. Before he could run a few steps, he fell to the ground, his legs broke at the knees, and even the falling ice slag could be seen at the broken mouth.
"Spellcaster!"
The ranger let out a last scream, and was frozen into ice in front of Harandil. His arms and head shattered and collapsed, falling to the ground and falling into broken ice.
"Control Center, we are attacked by the Fallen Wizard. We need support!" Squadron Captain Bren yelled at the Echo Crystal, and even Harandil in the distance could be heard, but the other end of the Echo was silent.
Rangers scattered on the positions began to attack the exposed wizards from all directions. Some arrows hit the vague outline of the enemy, emitting a dazzling halo like an aurora.
Halandir also drew out an armor-breaking arrow and shot it with all his might. Although the incident happened suddenly, there was only one enemy and there was nowhere to hide under the all-round attack.
Even the wizard with magic shields can't last long after intensive shooting of the shield! Energy defense has its limits after all, what--!
He saw the particle-like rays wrapped around the crystal clear barrier. The enemy abandoned the disguise and showed its true form. It was very bright, spherical, with a diameter of more than three meters. It was like an arc and air mass gathering like a whirlpool, floating on the ground but giving people a heavy sense of air pressure. The halos of orange-red, bright yellow, lilac, azure, bright white and faint green can be seen in the light.
Halandil was stunned. A huge spherical lightning appeared in his vision, making a low rustling buzz. This mysterious existence seemed to be some kind of plasma or cloud-like substance, which seemed to have no obvious fixed structure and was constantly in dynamic changes.
A human figure was vaguely seen in the center of the spherical lightning, waving his hands that gathered electricity, burning a ranger to char.
“…”
The terrified Rangers silenced for a second, followed by a storm-like attack and some half-elves screaming wildly.
"Extraordinary, this is an extraordinary wizard!"
"This is the White God of Death!"
Inexplicably, dense sounds of tearing and breaking came from the air. A terror that reached the heart instantly spread, making people so frightened that they dare not look up, as if the powerful fear that would be crushed into powder at any time tightly clamped the heart.
The silver-white ball lightning raised his hands and raised it towards the sky, as if the gods were about to throw the thunder down.
"Annihilation, as you wish."
It made a buzzing echo, and balls of light immediately flashed in the air.
"Halandil, run!"
Pilottis exclaimed through the wired contact of the crystal. Before she finished speaking, Halandil had escaped like a rabbit. A winding silver arc jumped between the light balls, and the terrifying net of the city shrouded the earth.
Sharp, slender twisted lightning bolts were thrown in the air, plowing among the gullies and ruins of the wasteland.
Brown also escaped from the hidden point, and was swept by a dense arc and turned into a ball of ashes. Halandir's whole body became numb and fell to the ground without running far.
"Captain, use the Demon-Breaking Arrow to hit its shield, hurry!" Pilottis could no longer see where Halandier was. She moved quickly to avoid the attack while fighting, "Kha, create a gap."
The squadron leader immediately took off a unique quiver and pulled out an iron arrow surrounded by blood. He took a deep breath and put the arrow on the bowstring. The blood-colored arrow seemed to come alive, trembling like a heartbeat. At the same time, Captain Bren's right hand holding the arrow bulged, and the breath and energy seemed to be pouring into the arrow.
The half-elf Kha had also left the cover. He ran like a gust of wind, pulling the bowstrings as fast as afterimages, sharp arrows sprinkled out, making a whistling sound like tearing linen in the air.
The spherical lightning was shot by successive arrows, and the crystal shield also fluctuated violently. It immediately rushed towards Keha, crushing the sand and stone, and making a terrifying echo of the arc breaking through the air.
It accelerated from slow movement to unimaginable high speed, and even caught up with the extraordinary person who is known for his agility. Keha took out a metal ball from his waist and threw it at him, while pounced in a clever way.
"Boom!" A loud bang woke Halandil up. He found himself lying next to a mound of soil, with thick smoke emitting from his body. Before he could struggle to get up, a scream came from his ear.
In the dust and waves of the sky, spherical lightning roared over Keha's legs. It was clearly suspended there, but while passing Keha, it crushed his legs into a flat shape like a piece of paper, with blood vessels, muscles, nerves and bones attached to the ground.
It seemed as if it had been crushed by a little bug, without any mercy and no concern, and it went straight toward the direction of Squadron Captain Bren.
Keha screamed and took out another metal ball and pulled the latch. The ball-shaped lightning that was about to pass over him suddenly turned around and rolled towards Keha's upper body.
"Bang!"
Halandil heard a dull sound. Balloid lightning ran through the explosion and Keha, splashing a bloody fog.
"This is the wizard, is this the power of the extraordinary?" Captain Bren gritted his teeth and aimed at the ball lightning. His breath became weak, and his psionic energy was pouring into the blood-colored iron arrow to charge the upcoming blow.
He bent his bow and arrow to pull a full circle, feeling unsatisfied, so he stabilized the lower plate and leaned his upper body back, then pulled the bowstring a few points, pointing directly at the light ball he had crushed.
"Arrogant wizard, do you really think no one can punish you!"
The bowstring made a loud noise like a muffled thunder, and the blood-colored arrows left the string. The sharp arrows were destroyed in the flight, leaving only the terrifying arrows like a bolt of lightning, dragging the blood-colored afterimage.
The strike collided with the spherical lightning, first torn the outer spherical barrier, and then hit the magic shield on the inside, causing dazzling flashes, shattering something in the astonishing roar, splashing crystal-like pieces.
Halandil saw the spherical lightning weaken and smaller in an instant, and the arrow reached the human body inside and hit the body like armor. Suddenly, the light ball disappeared, and the spherical lightning disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated.
The squadron leader was left, Pilottis and Halandil. They widened their eyes and patrolled around with vigilance.
The air suddenly became extremely quiet.
"Don't move in place and heal the wound!" the captain growled, "I'll go up and take a look."
He gave up the bow and arrow, took out two silver battle blades from his waist and held them in his hands, and carefully and lightly came to the position where the ball lightning disappeared. There, he found a small piece of mirror-like crystal.
"I found a fragment of a mirror," Captain Bren asked in confusion, "Pilotis, hey, do you hear it? You know the mirror..."
There was only a noisy rustling sound in the echo, and only Halandil, who had the wire link to the crystal, could hear Miss Ranger's panic screams.
"Run, captain, run, that's-"
"Bang--!"
Captain Bren first heard a loud noise in his chest, and then saw a light blue current piercing through his chest. He wanted to scream, but he could only let out a "high" breath from his throat, and blood dripped down and evaporated and dissipated at the edge of the light blade.
A humanoid creature slowly appeared from behind him and whispered in his ear:
Chapter completed!
