Mephisto raised his head and saw a line of golden light in the night sky, as well as another light beam in the distance that reflected it and reached the sky. He stood up from the grass and patted the grass blades on his body.
It seemed the easiest to escape from the attack of the Nightmare. The Saint Hydra hardly caused any trouble to him, but he unexpectedly got lost after leaving the forest.
Mephisto raised his head and looked at the pillar of light, his eyes sparkling. He stopped, and then walked in that direction.
And at the same time.
The moment the dazzling light pillar erupted, Andesa grew countless tentacles from behind and shot towards Brando in the center of the light pillar, trying to prevent this massive divine reaction, but she did not expect that her tough iron vines would touch those
The golden light burned like a piece of paper meeting fire and turned into ashes in an instant.
Andesa screamed and quickly retracted the vines in the sky. The golden flame seemed to have a power that could directly burn her soul, making her feel a sting.
After being so slow for a moment, the tree shepherd patriarch suddenly felt something. She turned around alertly, her purple eyes narrowed slightly, and she saw a flash of blue light at the other end of the valley.
"It came so fast." Andesa gritted her teeth. She quickly stepped back, grabbed Qian's arm, and said in a low voice: "It's not time to deal with that woman yet, little baby, come with me."
But what she didn't expect was that the pull didn't work. Andesa lowered her head and looked at Qian in surprise, only to find that the red-haired girl was holding a protruding rock on the ground with one hand and looking at her firmly.
"I won't go with you." Qian stared into Andesa's eyes without fear and replied word for word.
"You are crazy!" Andesa's voice suddenly raised an octave: "You promised me! As long as I cure him, you will follow me!"
"I didn't say I wanted to keep my word," Qian replied, "I won't leave Lord Lord, just kill me."
Andesa was stunned for a moment. Normally, the tree shepherd was known to the world as a cunning and renegade person. Unexpectedly, she was deceived by a little girl today. She was determined to kill Brando now.
But the golden flame may not allow it. She was so angry that she was shaking all over, so she could only hit Qian in the back of the head with her backhand, causing the little girl to faint with a slight groan.
But after such a delay, the cyan figure at the other end of the valley suddenly accelerated - it was Veronica who was catching up with one man and one sword - the imperial goddess of war pursed her lips and pressed her sword on the blue sky with one hand.
On the hilt of the sword, the whole person took a step forward. This step seemed to fold a space hundreds of meters long into a single point.
next moment.
She stopped in front of Andesa.
Veronica looked coldly at Faina, who was tightly tied up by Andesa, and said: "Andesa!"
"Tsk," Andesa stopped moving her hands. After all, she was a high-ranking person and had calmed down. She hummed softly: "It's still a step too slow. Lady Veronica's elemental power has indeed entered.
In the 'extreme' field, the speed is so fast that it can even cause visual illusions."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, Andesa," Veronica's voice was as cold as ice. She knew the identity of the woman in front of her clearly. She was definitely not here to compliment her, let alone Faina was still in the other party's hands.
"How come Faina is in your hands, and where are Rono and Elman?" she asked.
"You mean this little girl?" Andesa didn't seem to care about Veronica's tone. She stretched out her hand to bring the vines binding Faina closer to her, and stretched out her fingers to hold the noble daughter's chin: "
What a charming beauty."
"Stop trying to trick me!" With a sharp scolding, Veronica's sword was unsheathed with a clang, and she pointed the sword at the opponent: "Andesa, what on earth are you doing here!"
Veronica certainly noticed the beam of light behind Andesa, but because of the blazing golden flames, the legion commander did not notice that there was another person inside.
However, she still saw the unconscious Akane and frowned.
Andesa's eyebrows were picturesque and she smiled: "Why don't you take a guess, Lord Legion Commander?"
Veronica's face darkened, and she didn't talk nonsense to this woman. She pursed her lips tightly and slashed at her with her sword. Her sword brought up a cyan airflow, and the airflow came out of the blade and formed into a cyan flying bird.
, in the eyes of others, it looks like a blue bird flapping its wings and shooting towards Andesa with a long wake.
As fast as thunder——
Andesa's expression changed, but she didn't expect that Veronica would attack with all her strength as soon as she came up. She waved her slender right hand covered with vines, and with a bang, countless pale thorns grew out of the ground in an attempt to block Veronica's sword energy.
Of course, these are not ordinary thorns, but vines from the Blood Rose of the Sulfur River. They are as hard as steel, and the barbs on them are extremely poisonous that can cause skin ulcers.
But the blue bird flapped its wings as if it were alive and passed through the gaps between these hellish plants. Like a dexterous petrel, it bypassed the obstacles and still headed straight for Andesa.
Secret Sword Technique!
Only then did Andesa understand that Veronica was serious. Wall of the Sky is a defensive swordsmanship based on the element of wind. Although it focuses on defense, it is like a wall of atmosphere that is all-pervasive when defending, but it is dexterous when counterattacking.
Like the wind, it also has a unique side.
The blue bird flying up and down is the best example of this moment.
Andesa gritted her teeth and simply let go of her left hand that grabbed Faina's chin, and swung her backhand at the sword. The moment her fingertips touched the blue bird, Veronica's entire sword energy was like a wave in the wind.
It dissipated little by little like dust.
"Lord Veronica," she said, "You are no match for me, so why should you be so reckless?"
Veronica didn't answer, what she answered was the sword in her hand. Without finishing her words, Andesa raised her head and saw a spectacular blue scene in front of her. Countless bluebirds were fluttering and shooting out from a huge blue vortex.
, forming a magnificent scene.
That scene, slow and magnificent, seemed to give people the illusion of a huge flock of migrating birds flying upward along the white cloud wall and the blue sky——
"People of the Wind Territory!"
Lord Wither finally changed her expression. She stretched out her five fingers and screamed: "Earth Puppet!" Along with Andesa's voice, the ground beneath their feet roared, and countless soil and rocks surged upward, forming an instantaneous
Huge puppet.
Countless bluebirds moved forward under Veronica's sword, and all of them collided with the puppet that suddenly appeared. Each sword energy made a huge hole in it, but in the blink of an eye, more soil was used to repair the rock puppet.
After hundreds of sword energy blasts in an instant, the giant puppet was still able to move even though its body was covered in craters and incomplete parts. It let out a deep roar, raised its huge fist, and smashed at Veronica like a mountain bearing down on her from a distance of several hundred feet.
.
There was sweat on the forehead of the female legion leader, but she looked extremely calm. She remained motionless and gritted her teeth, raising the Blue Sky above her head. The shining sword swept across and cut into the rock puppet. With a loud bang, one of the stone arms of the rock puppet hit the rock puppet hard.
fell to the ground.
Veronica retracted her sword and let out a breath. The previous battle almost left her a little exhausted. But when she raised her head and looked up, she found Andesa standing next to the earth puppet, but her face was slightly less bloody.
The two fought against each other in a round, and the decision was made.
Andesa also looked at Veronica. In order to prevent the other party from attacking again, she smiled slightly and put her fingers on Faina's neck: "Ms. Veronica, I'm not here to fight with you. If you don't
Do it, but don't blame me for being rude."
"You won't kill her." Veronica replied coldly.
Andesa was startled, then smiled: "Very smart, indeed, but it depends on how valuable this little princess is."
"What do you want to do."
"You know very well, Lady Veronica," Andesa smiled: "I want the Lionheart Sword."
"Whimsical." Veronica replied.
"Then you don't want this little princess anymore?" Andesa patted the face of the unconscious Faina.
Veronica took a breath, but she shook her head: "Not to mention that the Lion Heart Sword is not in my hand yet, even if it is in my hand, I will not trade it for Faina."
"How heartless. In your opinion, is a dead object more precious than a human life?" Andersa's pointed fingers scratched Faina's face: "This little girl seems to be the Grand Duke of Flowers and Leaves.
The only heir, aren't you afraid that the master will cause trouble for you?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Veronica replied: "Andesa, you and I both know what the Lion's Heart Sword represents. Not to mention Faina, even if His Majesty the Emperor is in your hands, I will not agree to this.
Require."
She raised her head and answered word by word: "The Cruz Empire will never bow to any threat."
This time Andesa was silent.
She knew Veronica's character very well, and she had not actually planned to meet this woman so early. Her original plan was to wait until Veronica got the Lionheart Sword, and then use Faina to distract her so that she could take advantage of the opportunity.
Seize the Lionheart Sword from the opponent's hand.
This is also her best tactic.
Unexpectedly, her arrangement was completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of Akane and Brando. She said nothing at the moment, her anger growing in her heart, but in fact she was also thinking about how to remedy it.
"Since the Lion's Heart Sword is not in your hand," Andesa said solemnly, "then the thing that is looking for the Lion's Heart Sword should at least be in your hand."
Veronica frowned when she heard this. She immediately understood the opponent's plan and raised her sword to prepare for defense.
But Andesa smiled charmingly, raised her left hand and strangled Faina's neck: "But since this little princess has no use value, it doesn't hurt to use her as a blood sacrifice first."
Veronica's expression changed and she was about to speak, but at this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted -
"Ms. Andersa, I don't mind if you do that," the voice said, "but before you do that, you'd better explain to me what you did to my guard."
Andersa's expression changed, and a warning sign suddenly appeared. At that moment, she felt as if she was being locked by a wild beast from behind, her hair stood on end, and she subconsciously turned around.
