Dark clouds were gathering outside, and the rumble of thunder sounded low.
With the sound of lightning falling, the Great Guardian, wrapped in a layer of lightning, rushed over with the gryphon.
He asked in a deep voice to the Grand Inquisitor Shafiya who was parked outside the house: "Your Excellency Shafiya...am I late?"
"Kind of."
Shafiya yawned and lost interest: "But it's not a big problem. Just stay outside. We can't stand inside anymore."
Three extraordinary beings of the same level who had the home field advantage surrounded and killed a fifth-level extraordinary who was almost dying of old age and was not yet fighting at home. In her opinion, there was absolutely no chance that something would go wrong.
She came all the way this time just because Meg lacked the ability to move at high speed.
Both the Great Guardian and Master Yanis have the ability to move to the scene instantly. Although Meg is extremely powerful, like the Great Justice, she does not have the mysterious skills to quickly reach the battlefield.
Compared with the Great Justice, Meg, who is the strongest person in Avalon, cannot even fly. When she was on the battlefield before, Meg was able to stop fighting in one day only because of Shafiya's assistance.
It's just that Shafia doesn't like to be in the limelight - she is very aware of being a supporter, that is, don't let the opponent know that you are a supporter.
She also didn't plan to take action this time, she just planned to move her fingers a little, send Meg over, and then stay outside and watch.
As long as the bone sculpture doesn't plan to escape or do anything big, she won't take action. Otherwise...
As soon as she thought of this, she felt keenly that the power of the road was generating more and more violent fluctuations.
"...You really like to cause trouble for me."
Shafiya, who was completely too lazy to do anything, looked into the room in disgust and raised the staff in her hand.
——Counterspell.
There is no need for chanting or complicated movements. Shafiya just thought, and a white triangle symbol with a maze-like curve in the middle suddenly lit up in front of the staff.
It made a clear and melodious sound like striking a triangle, and then it instantly became blurred and dispersed into a three-color rainbow light with double shadows.
The huge mana wave that had just risen in the room like a tsunami was wiped out the moment it raised its head. It was like watching the waves rise, but suddenly lost their form and fell directly into water spray.
As if everything just now was just an illusion.
"...You are really giving me face. Or is Aiwass' face so great?"
While asking stupid questions to distract the other party, he secretly released a spell without gestures or chants, but was suddenly interrupted by the most inconspicuous Shafiya.
Chaotic mana raged in the body, and the severe pain caused the bone sculpture to take a breath of cold air: "There are only four fifth-level extraordinary beings loyal to the Avalon royal family, and now I am crouching
There are actually four of them..."
That's all for him to directly attack Queen Sofia!
No, maybe even if we attack the Queen directly, not so many people can arrive at the first time...
"Let's take it easy, Master Graham."
The serious voice of the Great Guardian came from outside the house along with the rolling thunder: "You can't escape no matter what.
"Master Yanis is familiar with the methods of your path of beauty. Your Excellency Shafiya can counter your spells. No matter how fast you run, I can catch up with you. Not to mention, you can't beat Ms. Meg in the first place.
"If you surrender now, we can guarantee your safety. After all, it is not easy to be promoted to the fifth level, and we need your information..."
"——Too wordy."
Meg interrupted the great guardian's rational voice: "No need to spend so much words."
She looked at the bone sculpture and narrowed her eyes: "I said you...killed my students, right?"
She resonated with the power of the path, and her pupils exuded a majestic silver-white light, turning into cold and ruthless vertical pupils.
Silver-white illusory scales appeared on Meg's body, emitting a ghostly rainbow light.
The old lady said unceremoniously: "Then, let's [die once] first."
The majestic power ripples in the void.
——The next moment, the bone sculpture turned the bone staff upside down without hesitation, and pierced the tip of it into his chest, piercing his heart.
The power of dusk contained in the bone staff suddenly erupted. The bone staff, which originally looked white, strange but with a sense of sanctity, suddenly lost its brilliance and became as dirty, dim, and yellow as an ordinary spine. Immediately afterwards
When the bone sculpture thrust with all its strength, it immediately disintegrated.
All the power was channeled into the heart of the bone sculpture, instantly turning his heart to stone.
But even so, there was a broken bone stuck in the chest, and the heart was petrified. But the bone sculpture still did not die.
His pupils suddenly became hollow, and his whole person became as stiff as a puppet.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of stone-like sheen appeared on his skin. It was as if what was standing here was not a bone sculpture, but a statue he had made for himself.
His steps were extremely nimble, and he had crossed dozens of steps in just an instant. He was surrounded by a hurricane and smashed the second-floor wall like tofu.
The bone sculpture did not retreat but advanced, charging directly towards Shafiya.
His pace is very weird. If you keep staring at him, you will have hallucinations - you will feel that his position is further back than his actual position. It is about one second slower than his actual position, and vice versa.
It is tantamount to hiding his true position and movements.
This is the assassination skill that comes from adapting to the path!
The bone carving knew very well. If Shafiya, who was proficient in spell countermeasures, was not killed or driven back, he might not be able to cast even a single spell.
Whether it is the path of beauty or the path of dusk, they are both pure magic paths. And his most powerful one is the path of beauty.
He just tried to wake up the statues in the city and cause chaos, but the spell was countered just after it was generated.
The feeling was extremely uncomfortable - chaotic mana was rushing around in the body, and not only was the mana used for casting spells lost, it was even causing damage to one's own body.
But facing his charge, Shafiya did not panic.
Rather than saying it is calm, it is better to say it is "without sadness or joy".
——Ah, I knew it.
As long as I go out, I will definitely work overtime...
The Great Guardian raised his voice: "Be careful!"
His griffon suddenly led him to the middle of Shafiya and the bone sculpture, intending to block the blow for her.
However, Shafiya just stood there and shook her staff, and those silver-white chains emerged from the void and tightly wrapped around the bone sculpture that had turned into a stone statue.
——Changlang!
The chains immediately tightened, stopping the charging bone sculpture in place.
And a black halo suddenly appeared on the stone body of the bone carving - that was the color of steel.
His joints were cracked inch by inch, and hot steam mixed with flames spurted out from them.
First there was smoke, then smoke mixed with flames. In just a moment, the flames stabilized and turned into small blue fire beams.
Those chains were stretched to the limit and then suddenly broke.
The Great Guardian led Philip to block the blow, but he just grunted. Philip under him took half a step back.
He was about to fight back, but more chains were densely packed, layer after layer. He didn't dare to break Shafiya's control, so he just held up the crackling thunder spear and stopped there.
In situ.
Meg's voice also came from behind: "[Remove petrification], [Give up resistance]."
The power of authority spreads like the roar of a dragon - it is the Dragon Blood Law, the power Meg obtained from the ritual of bathing in dragon blood.
In an instant, the tight silver chains suddenly tightened.
The enemy who had been struggling so hard suddenly became powerless, and blood burst out from the tiny cracks in the chains.
And as the chain made a sharp friction sound and gradually rotated - the body of the bone sculpture was actually ground directly by Shafiya's chain!
The chain kept spinning like this for more than ten seconds before finally stopping.
When they dispersed, part of the chain had turned scarlet, and the bone sculpture in the middle had turned into a puddle of rotten flesh.
"……finished?"
The Great Guardian raised the Thunder Spear and asked cautiously.
"not yet."
Yanis's voice came: "He escaped - but he didn't escape too far, he was still nearby.
"One of all the statues he made hides a backup of his soul, which contains one-third of his soul. But strictly speaking, that one is not actually him, it is just a backup from a week ago..."
"Master Yanis, how should we tell the difference?"
The Great Guardian asked seriously and politely.
Meg said angrily: "Just hit them all! He is the one who dares to fight back - I will have something to do later, so move faster!"
"That's not necessary, and he can't retaliate. Just break the statue."
Yanis' cheerful voice with a smile came: "Because I found it a week ago."
"...You already knew it was him?"
Meg raised her eyebrows and asked the elf in the painting: "Is that why Your Majesty asked us to protect Aiwass tonight?"
"There must be evidence. After all, he is also a big shot in Iris... and as an elf of the Theocracy, I cannot help anyone with a clear attitude. This is an internal matter of the human race - but he came to the door himself.
, that will be different." Yanis said with a smile.
She always knows a lot, but she doesn't want to say anything. Or maybe she can't say anything.
"So where is his statue?"
"——The statue he made for Sophia a few years ago. The statue that is going to be placed in St. Guinevere's Chapel."
Yanis said so.
On the other side, in Isabel's bedroom.
With the teacher's reminder, she had already put on her clothes and was very energetic waiting for Aiwass' arrival.
