As Old James's voice fell, the space in front of him suddenly began to distort and blur.
The surging thunder condensed into a giant blue-white bird in front of him, making a bird-like noise while discharging electricity outward.
--Summon the thunderbirds!
This is a fourth-level spell that triggers thunder to summon a giant thunder bird that can spontaneously search for enemies. It is regarded as a kind of elemental life and will automatically dissipate after the energy in the body is exhausted.
Aiwass stood there calmly.
His nimble fingers kept playing with the cards, like a dealer performing magic tricks, making the cards appear and disappear between his fingers.
When he saw this symbolic attack, a card appeared quietly between his fingers.
Before Thunderbird was about to die, a wall of iridescent ice rose up in front of him——
The blue-white forked lightning fell on the ice wall, but not even a single fragment fell.
But in the next moment, the thunderbird flying in the sky suddenly let out a chirp and inexplicably froze into ice!
It had already frozen when its mournful cry sounded, fell from the air, fell to the ground and shattered into a flash of lightning like a flash bomb.
"...Doesn't it count as the summoner's attack?"
Aiwass thought.
——If old Moriarty's spell directly hits the "Star Ice", he will be frozen by the power of dusk contained in it.
I have to say... old Moriarty is really cautious.
He was obviously saying things like "You have defeated me" and "From now on you will be Moriarty", but he even let the summoned creature do his attacks!
But Aiwass is not disappointed.
Because Aiwass also guessed that Moriarty would most likely not hit such a simple counter-attack spell.
Before, Aiwass didn't know if Moriarty had any equipment that could increase his priority, so he didn't use the power of "Yin-Yang Harmony" to gain a higher priority by casting spells five times.
This is just a test, so the mana consumed is not too much. Even if the counterattack fails, it is not a loss - at least a bunker has been successfully created.
Aiwass stood behind the transparent ice wall and observed the situation.
When the lightning exploded, old Moriarty was still standing there calmly chanting spells in a low voice.
But Aiwass was keenly aware that the old man's position had undergone subtle changes.
Before that lightning burst, he didn't seem to be in that position.
...Is it teleportation? Or is it an illusion?
Or...
Aiwass was thinking in his mind, but the Book of Law appeared in his left hand.
At this moment, the Butterfly of the Flame is still watching the camp, helping Isabel play Aiwass... If the Butterfly of the Flame disappears out of thin air, it may cause more trouble.
But Aiwass did not dare to despise his adoptive father.
He doesn't know how many trump cards old Moriarty still has, so it's best to fight quickly - kill him before he runs out of trump cards!
There was obviously no wind, but the book of Dharma was turning at high speed.
"I'm coming roaring--"
Heleqin's deep voice sounded.
He has not turned into dusk, so he is still in the state of a heroic spirit riding a white horse at this moment.
He was not holding the Thunder Killer Halberd in his hand, but the Dragon Spear that Cardinal Favna had reforged for him!
It was a silver-white spear that was three and a half meters long.
Only this elf warrior sitting on a Pegasus can easily wield a weapon of this size!
He casually lit the spear on the ground like a match, and actually drew an arc of everlasting fire on the stone slab——
The golden-red flame wrapped around the front half of the gun body, turning the silver-white spear into an almost amber-colored translucent material in the fire.
While Helechin was staring at each other, the summoned Wild Hunt soldiers behind him were gradually gathering together.
"...This is Heleqin, the King of the Wild Hunt in Eagle Point Village."
"Old James" was obviously still chanting the spell, but a voice of admiration came from the air: "Although I know you can summon the Wild Hunt, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."
Heleqin frowned slightly and pulled the reins.
He suddenly turned into a bolt of thunder and launched an arc-shaped charge towards the "clearing" without any warning!
Because the distance is too short, it's more of a "jump" than a charge.
He first crashed into the "Old James" who was chanting the spell, and then turned a corner and landed at the place where James made the sound!
The storm was torn apart by him, making a howling sound like a howling ghost, and the surrounding stone walls were torn apart by the hurricane, creating cracks.
When it landed, a shock wave visible to the naked eye condensed and then spread outward!
The surrounding ground was shaking violently, and it could be felt even several kilometers away, and the ground around where he landed had turned into powder!
The cracks spread throughout the courtyard, and then cracked open along with the walls of the monastery, and streaks of yellow earth-colored smoke rang out from all the surrounding buildings, making an overwhelming sound.
Heleqin didn't know which direction was the correct one: "Old Moriarty" who was chanting the spell or the direction where the sound came from... so he attacked both places at the same time!
As a result, the voice of chanting spells did not disappear——
The exposed "Old James" was violently hit and turned into bubbles and dissipated, but the impact actually shook out an "Old James" from that position...
But the "feel" is wrong.
"Old James" who was shaken out actually turned into a butterfly and shattered after enduring the shock wave when he landed!
Both old James are fake!
And just then.
But Aiwass suddenly felt a strong pressure - an invisible force pressed on Aiwass' back, almost making him kneel on the ground!
He felt as if his legs were wrapped in sand, unable to take a step or raise his hands. His back was also bent by the gravity that appeared out of thin air, and his neck made an overwhelming sore sound.
His internal organs kept falling and pulling, causing bursts of severe pain.
The vision in front of him became blurred, and there was a strange swelling sensation in his ears. Everything in front of him began to be distorted, lost color and gradually turned gray, and his brain began to feel dizzy. His heart felt an extremely strong sense of weight, and even breathing was difficult.
It became difficult - every time his lungs expanded, there was a tearing pain.
What Aiwass was fighting was not just the "weight" added out of thin air, but his own body!
...No wonder even the fifth-level Director Cornelius was arrested for a moment. The spell to control gravity is so terrifying...
Is this really only five times gravity?
I'm afraid the gravity change will be seven times, eight times or even ten times more!
Aiwass' body, which had been strengthened by the fifth-level dedication path, actually felt a premonition of death the moment he endured it.
But Aiwass was no ordinary person. His brain was running sluggishly, and the moment his thinking almost paused, he had already thought of a countermeasure:
If this move is used against a fifth-level archmage, just this move can crush the opponent to death... However, Aiwass's body, which ignited the fire of devotion, can quickly adapt to this abnormal gravity!
In two seconds at most, he can start thinking and moving normally. In more than ten seconds, he can regain his mobility and start walking or running slowly!
——But it is impossible for him to have these three seconds.
Just like the previous attack on Director Cornelis...
So what’s next? Spell double shot?
Is it freezing or lightning strike?
Aiwass didn't dare to bet.
So he immediately activated the [Shadow Cloak] that had not been used for a long time!
——The moment Aiwass was under gravity and his body deformed like a zombie, the power of thick shadows leached out of his body!
A pitch-black cold storm roared out, completely blackening the entire space. A hemispherical shadow barrier emerged out of thin air on the ground, and the wind inside twisted and howled like a spiral.
But even the shadow cloak did not relieve the control Aiwass suffered!
The Shadow Cloak can release the five control states of sealing, freezing, burning, binding, and petrification. The control caused by this change in gravity is not one of them.
——However, the repulse caused by the Shadow Cloak shook eight old Moriarty out of the void in an instant!
The moment they were shocked, Aiwass was completely invisible and disappeared from their sight. The spell that needed to be maintained was terminated because it lost its target, and Aiwass instantly regained his ability to move.
But the moment of weightlessness caused his entire upper body to turn red - a large area of his skin was red, oozing blood, and bleeding from all his orifices.
But this level of damage is not harmful. For mere physical damage, Aiwass didn't even need to use the sacrificial fire method to treat it. His body regenerated and recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye with every breath!
And when Aiwass shocked out these "Old Moriarty", Heleqin suddenly turned around and launched a sweep! He didn't know which one was real, so he just took it all seriously!
However, at this moment, a large number of dense gray spider webs appeared out of thin air!
One, two... In an instant, hundreds of spider webs as thick as buckets covered the world, turning all the surrounding buildings into a spider's nest in an instant!
And this spider web seemed to have some kind of magic power. Even the King of the Wild Hunt was entangled in it, and it took him two or three seconds to break free! But the real Moriarty had become invisible again.
There is no doubt that it is the cobweb made of "lies". Anyone who may be deceived by lies will be bound by that cobweb... And Heleqin was deceived and betrayed and died.
It's a small measure of restraint.
But as the King of the Wild Hunt, a sixth-level high-level phantom demon, he should not be affected by any spells in the material world - after all, in terms of spell resistance alone, Heleqin is on the same level as the fallen Tiansi who has come to the world today!
In other words, old Moriarty's control with this move is even effective against the Fallen Ones!
That can only come from the power of Tiansi - or even fragments of Tiansi!
——Hui Tiansi’s spider web!
Aiwass asked sharply: "Has Hui Tiansi revived in you?"
"He is not worthy yet."
Moriarty's plain voice sounded in the void again, repeating over and over again: "It's just a dead Tiansi... Even the Pillar God is not worthy of controlling me."
His words were full of cold contempt for Hui Tiansi.
Completely opposite to his usual gentle and tolerant, pious and calm attitude. He no longer concealed his attitude towards Tiansi and Zhushen at all.
but……
When was the spider web summoned?
Lily also has the Spider Silk Tantra, and Aiwass knows the conditions for activating this ability.
This cobweb should only condense after a lie is told. The tenacity of the cobweb is determined by the fragility of the lie, the toxicity of the cobweb is determined by the toxicity of the lie, and the stickiness of the cobweb is determined by the convincing power of the lie.
But old Moriarty didn't say a word at all! How was it triggered?
Aiwass's brain was working rapidly.
He suddenly remembered that these spider webs emerged when Aiwass shook out the clones at the same time.
Then he instantly realized the truth——
"——It's a paradox!"
Because Moriarty's illusions are so real, neither Aiwass nor Herchin can tell "which one is the real Moriarty" - his clone can even make sounds, feel touch and cast spells! In
Before it is "killed", there is no way to be sure that it is fake!
Therefore, when multiple Moriartys appear at the same time and cannot be distinguished, it is tantamount to triggering an indestructible lie!
——Can’t delay it any longer!
Although old Moriarty doesn't know it, Aiwass's magic card has a number of uses. If it continues, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable...
"Heleqin, keep shaking the ground!"
Aiwass immediately ordered.
Herchin instantly understood Aiwass's strategy.
He led the Wild Hunt Legion and launched a charge into the air - with Aiwass as the center, crushing all the surrounding buildings and the ground like a millstone!
The wall was shattered, and the battlefield spread out from the courtyard. The next moment, the outer courtyard wall was also shattered.
The Wild Hunt Legion waved their weapons and cut off the cobwebs; while they began an eternal and continuous charge around Aiwass!
No matter where Moriarty is invisible, as long as he launches attacks evenly and wipes out the ground again and again, at least he will not be able to stand still and chant spells!
Since you can't see him, attack every position!
——This is the inevitable weakness of the spell caster!
"You can't win just by hiding!"
Aiwass said loudly: "There is no need to waste time!"
"Indeed, I didn't want to waste my time."
Old Moriarty's voice came from the void.
The Wild Hunt immediately launched an attack on that location, knocking out a Moriarty and hacking him to death, watching him turn into flames and disappear.
"Speaking of which... we have never had a formal fight. After all, you are too sensible."
Moriarty's voice appeared again in another location, and was immediately found and crushed.
"I don't really hope that our fight will be less than honorable...but I also don't hope that in your heart, in the end, I will be nothing more than an incompetent, hysterical, stupid father who knows nothing but intrigues.
.I mean, if you can still regard me as your father."
The other Moriarty was also crushed and turned into flying petals.
"So I prepared something good...that will impress you."
Another Moriarty emerges.
But at this moment, the chanting sound that had always been in the air disappeared.
But this time the situation is different——
The wild hunter wielded the giant sword in his hand and slashed, but it was dripping with blood!
The moment old Moriarty finished speaking, he was brutally chopped in half by a Wild Hunt soldier!
The body was suddenly broken into two parts, the left arm was severed from the forearm, and the right arm was severed from the shoulder.
At that moment, Aiwass and Helechin were stunned for a moment.
Even the Wild Hunt soldier who cut Moriarty in half was stunned for a moment.
How... is it true?
...Why is it true this time?
——The charge stopped.
Aiwass walked forward quickly, but the old Moriarty, who was cut in half and dying, just looked up at the sky with a flat smile on his lips.
"The battle is not over yet."
Old Moriarty whispered, still looking at the sky: "The spell I prepared has been completed."
"……What?"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment, and then realized something.
He looked up at the night sky.
I saw a huge black shadow emerging in the sky.
Because it was night, I couldn't see clearly, but the pressure was not fake.
The clouds were pushed away.
The ground is shaking.
That's a...falling star.
A huge meteorite.
Covering the sky and blocking out the moonlight.
"——The attack range is fifty kilometers in radius. This is my strongest spell... I have been preparing for many years to pull this asteroid. It was originally used to threaten Hui Tiansi. As long as he dares to come to me,
I will pull the meteorite to destroy us together.
"So He didn't dare. He could only lend me his power, but He didn't dare to resurrect me."
With only half of his body left, old Moriarty coughed up blood and looked at the sky. His voice gradually became lower.
As a mage and astrologer, the power of his path cannot strengthen his body. His body is not much stronger than that of a mortal. This injury is already an irreversible fatal injury to him.
He said lightly, his voice gradually getting lower: "I know you can escape easily. But think about it, there are residential areas around.
"You said I was wrong, then let me see... what are you going to do correctly?"
His gray pupils stared at the night sky, as if expecting something.
