Act 65: Plague of the Elements IV

The little princess raised her hand and pushed away the sickle-like claws. Then she walked forward and looked up at the huge creature that had completely lost its life. She pressed its abdomen with her hand and pushed it gently.

The person pushed the golden mountain and collapsed backwards like a jade pillar, turning into fine crystalline fragments on the ground, scattering with a crash like cards being pushed away.

Medisa was stunned, probably because she didn't expect this thing to be so fragile. The strength shown by the latter during the previous battle was at the peak of the civilized elements and would never fall apart at a touch.

She bent down and picked up one of the fragments. The fragment had hundreds of facets and exuded a magnificent brilliance in her hands, as if it were a perfect masterpiece polished by the most skilled craftsmen.

She looked at the fragment thoughtfully. It was obviously not a natural product. The crystal cluster did not look like some kind of creature, but rather like a fighting machine that was blended together by magic.

There were bursts of screams piercing the air outside the arcade. Countless meteorites were falling to the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Screams and cries floated far away from the inner city. Explosions were heard from that direction from time to time.

The light reflected the wall on one side of the arcade in white.

Medisa threw away the fragments in her hands and looked back at the White Rose Garden. A deep pit appeared at the pool in the center of the courtyard, and more crystal clusters were climbing up from there, densely packed, as if they were clustered together.

Beetle-like.

At this time, Charles happened to chase him out of the hall, and when he saw this scene, he secretly screamed "Damn it."

"Medissa, are you okay?" he shouted.

"I'm fine, Mr. Charles, but we have to retreat first," the little princess shook her head and said to him: "These things will soon pour in and retreat to the underground passage."

"What is this?"

"It should be crystal clusters."

"Is it what the lord once told us?"

Metissa nodded.

She walked quickly back to the other side of the arcade. She came to Ciel, picked up the frightened royal butler, and dragged the latter by his collar past Ciel.

"What should I do, Lord?" Ciel asked as the little silver elf princess passed by him.

"We will do whatever the lord tells us to do," Medissa replied.

"no problem?"

"No problem, Mr. Charles"

"Do you know anything?" Charles asked.

Medisa paused for a moment. Then she nodded and said, "The lord used a card from me, but did not respond to my inquiry."

"Aren't you worried about him?"

"I'm worried, Mr. Charles, but the lord makes his own decision. When everything is still unclear, we must first obey the order."

But she paused and continued: "But maybe you can ask Qian."

"Can?"

"The lord didn't deny us the opportunity to understand the situation, did he?" Medissa replied.

Charles couldn't hide his surprise and glanced at her. "I always thought you were a very steady person, your highness, little princess."

Medisa smiled slightly: "You want to say old-fashioned, Mr. Charles."

"Then I don't dare. How can I use such words to describe a lady."

"As a soldier, it is natural to obey, but you cannot be completely ignorant of flexibility. But compared with that, the most important thing is not to cause trouble to the lord." She replied somewhat seriously.

"Of course I understand this," Charles nodded, but he sincerely praised: "But your performance is really better than I thought, Miss Medissa, there were many details that even I didn't know at the first time.

think."

"You are very complimentary, Mr. Charles." Medissa showed a humble expression.

"That's what we agreed, Mr. Charles. Next, you go find Miss Qian, and I will organize the manpower to arrange defense." She raised the collar of the royal butler: "Leave this gentleman to me. He has seen these crystals."

Cu, it will be much easier for me with his help."

Charles nodded. He knew that Medisa was once the commander-in-chief of the Lin Ge Guards. Compared to arranging troops and forming formations, there is probably no one here who can compare with her.

But just as Medisa was about to leave, he suddenly stopped the latter: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Medisa turned around again.

"Look over there"

Ciel pointed to the outside of the arcade and said.

In the direction he pointed, the large floor-to-ceiling arched windows on one side of the arcade had long been shattered, and shiny glass fragments were scattered on the thick carpet. The torn curtains were flying in the violent wind and rain, like a

A ghost.

Through the empty window frame, you can see the scenery outside the White Rose Garden courtyard. Although it is no longer a scenery, there is only a large pit about five or six meters deep, and a steady stream of crystal clusters are rising from the bottom of the pit.

Climbing out, they did not immediately attack the Palace of San Canti as Medissa had guessed, but wandered aimlessly in the courtyard.

"Is this really a twilight species?" Ciel turned his head and asked.

Medisa looked at this scene with a beautiful frown.

People in the world don't know much about the Twilight Species, and the most familiar one among them is the Wolf Scourge. They are very different from ordinary monsters. Their biggest characteristics are their organization and purpose. The Wolf Scourge came to the world to destroy civilization.

, they will gather together in the wilderness to attack cities, villages, and temples where fire is placed, and they often will not give up until they achieve their goals.

Brando told them some things about the Crystal Clusters and the Energy Clan. Among them, the Clusters fought against the Earth Legion outside the elemental barrier during the era when the Miners ruled Warend. There is no doubt that they must be the Twilight Species.

It's just that their current performance is somewhat inconsistent with their cognition.

"They look like ordinary monsters," but Medisa shook her head: "But ordinary monsters will not appear suddenly at this time. They may be to confuse us, but no matter what, we will not

Just adapt to the situation, Mr. Charles."

"You are right, but I think there may be another possibility." Charles suddenly said thoughtfully.

"What's possible?"

"Tell me, why are wolves sweeping the earth? Who instructs them to attack civilization and order?"

"The alpha wolf Isis," Medissa replied without thinking, "after she fell asleep, it was her daughters."

"That's right. Without them, the wolves would not gather. When they are looking for food in the dark forest, their behavior is no different from ordinary monsters."

"Mr. Charles, what do you mean?" Medisa's eyes lit up and she reacted.

"Yes, who is commanding these clusters? As far as I know, the clusters do not have a real leader. They are just war weapons of the Twilight Dragon. If the Twilight Dragon cannot command them, what will they become?

What does it look like? Maybe it’s similar to what it looks like now.”

"...The Dusk Dragon cannot command them, why?"

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the changes happening outside the elemental barrier." Ciel replied: "I have a vague hunch that your lord may know more about this than us, or maybe he is personally involved in it.

must."

The little princess's eyes twinkled slightly.

She looked at Charles and said, "Then please be sure to find Miss Akane as soon as possible, Mr. Charles."

"Of course I understand."

Charles nodded again.



At this moment, the elemental world is indeed undergoing an earth-shattering change.

Air, water, fire, and earth all returned to chaos.

The origin of the elements has been stripped away from the cornerstone of the world, and is suspended in the sky above this chaotic world. Apart from this, this world is empty, without matter, without color, as if it is a void and gray.

In a world boundless above and below, only two people exist.

Two women.

The Dragon Queen looked down at the girl who was bound by the elements in a black cocoon of light. Her expression looked deserted, and on her serious face, black mist kept rising from the gaping wound. She was wearing a uniform.

A black robe, although this scene looks strange, it does not reduce the sacred aura of it.

Success is close at hand.

No matter how many people are sacrificed.

He even had to sacrifice his own life.

She doesn't hesitate

Gwendolyn looked at the businesswoman with her eyes tightly closed. What she saw in her prismatic pupils seemed not to be a country girl from Butch, but to the mortal enemy of civilization, the person who was predicted to eventually bring Warnd to

The existence that destroys everything.

It's the Dragon of Dusk.

Roman suddenly opened her eyes, and there was only a strange darkness in the two eyes under her eyelids. There seemed to be a vortex inside, spinning slowly, as if it could attract people's minds into it.

The Dragon Queen stared at those pair of eyes, and she saw from those dark whirlpools the passage of life, the extinction of order, and the death of all things, leaving only boundless darkness and chaos.

'Ms. Merchant' looked at the world for a moment and suddenly spoke: "This is within the elemental plane. This is the first time I have observed it from the inside. I didn't expect that you could make such a decision even after 'they' have left."

As a reward for such preparation, I will let you die painlessly."

"This is indeed your burial place." The Dragon Queen replied coldly.

'Roman' looked around and shook his head: "You extracted the cornerstone of the elemental world to bind me. Aren't you afraid that your world will collapse? That's called Warnd, right? This name should be the only one passed down from the previous era.

The vocabulary has come down.”

"Warnd is just the tip of it."

"But it is also the most important part. The importance of the elemental barrier to your entire world is self-evident. Without it, can the tiamat law still protect you?"

The 'Business Lady' didn't seem to be aware of Gwendolen's malice at all, but asked pretending to be curious, but it was not difficult to hear contempt in her curiosity.

"You underestimate the adaptability of our civilization."
