Chapter 398 397 Ritual Magic and "Advent"

Chapter 398 397. Ritual Magic and "Advent"

This was destined to be a difficult battle. After the initial tentative attack, overwhelming despair enveloped the hearts of every high-level magician.

The invisible domain accepted everyone, weakened, and devoured everyone's magic. The surrounding magic formed a huge vortex because of his existence, constantly engulfing people and objects that approached.

A sixth-level magician of Solon lost his figure in the strong wind just by not paying attention. His fragile body was torn into pieces in the domain in an instant.

"Get out of the way!"

Looking at the dazzling light of the crystal giant facing them, the mages responsible for pulling the crystal giant shouted loudly and moved at high speed to avoid the deadly purple beam.

The crystal giant that was pulled away from the capital stopped.

"Hiss~~~" It was like the sound of fat dripping into charcoal fire when a piece of fat-rich meat was roasted at high temperature.

Brilliant purple light gushed out from the spindle-shaped head of the crystal giant, and the dazzling light instantly submerged the unsuspecting high-level magicians behind him.

The purple light was not emitted from its front, but from its back.

Its entire body was the most powerful weapon.

Under the gaze of many high-level magicians with pale faces, the vague figures in the light stream gradually dissipated and eventually turned into ashes.

The earth was blazing, the fire was raging, and the body of the crystal giant reflected the red flames and the faces of people who were horrified.

A high-level magician of the elves swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Is this giant who can't feel the breath of life a war weapon..."

"Is it really the same as what the Theocracy said... It and the butterfly are both ninth-level?" Some magicians trembled constantly.

"You're kidding! How could there be a ninth-level creature in this world? What kind of existence could create it? I don't believe it!"

"Van..."

"Ni..."

"Sha..."

The crystal giant roared out the name again with a vocal organ that existed nowhere, and the sound waves shook the flames on the ground.

"Who is Vanessa?"

"It's a name we've never heard of. We've searched through the books of all the tribes in Mera, and the highest level that matches the name is only the fifth level, so it must have nothing to do with it."

"No matter who it is, she has brought a catastrophe to Mera. It's all her fault, the crystal giant!"

The angry magicians raised their staffs again, pouring their anger on the crystal giant with all kinds of magic, but their magic was completely dissipated by the ripples in the void before it approached the crystal giant's body.

"Focus, focus!"

Amid the urging, hundreds of high-level magicians each selected a suitable position, and the magic cores, crystals, and spellcasting tools were ready.

At the moment when individual strength was completely crushed, the only way to defeat the crystal giant of unknown level was the simplest and crudest method - stacking numbers.

Lu Yu and Lulu, who were rushing to the battlefield of high-level magicians following the trajectory of the flow of magic power, suddenly stopped. The amazing magic power fluctuations in the distance made their bodies numb.

"Not good... they can't be..."

Lu Yu was shocked by Lulu's awakening, and the two of them sped up.

The magic power torrent formed by the streams of light submerged the crystal giant. Magic of various attributes collided and merged with each other, shattering the seemingly unbreakable forbidden magic field layer by layer, and the defense that kept magic out countless times began to collapse.

Finally, the first trace of magic power drilled into the gap of the forbidden magic field, swam, and rushed towards the body of the crystal giant. At this moment, the high-level magicians discovered that the forbidden magic field was shrinking!

"It works, it really works!"

"Don't be stingy with your magic power, increase the output, its secret is right in front of you, this is the common wealth of Mela!"

Although the winner has not yet been determined, some magicians have cheered loudly, as if they have seen the future of splitting the giant and sharing the secret.

Suddenly, the forbidden magic field completely dissipated, and the surging magic power hit the huge body of the crystal giant like a flood that broke through the dam, emitting a series of dull explosions.

"Run!" Lulu, who rushed to the scene, used all her strength to warn the magicians who were watching the "giant who was about to fall."

The numbing sound, similar to the friction of sharp metal products on the smooth rock wall, overwhelmed Lulu's warning and drowned out Lu Yu's roar.

The crystal giant, who was in the center of the magic torrent and had been baptized by hundreds of high-level magicians, was no longer intact under this blow. The originally smooth and bright surface became bumpy, and unpleasant black smoke was everywhere.

At this moment, its body completely showed a charming color between pink and purple, and the brilliance from inside to outside outlined the amorphous body that was constantly wriggling in the spindle-shaped head.

It was not until this time that the high-level magicians discovered the dangerous "core" from the flickering light and shadow.

"Buzz."

Hearing this special sound, Lulu hurriedly pressed Lu Yu to the ground.

Lu Yu, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed, had already summoned the Demon Devouring Tree and swallowed the magic power overflowing to him.

"It prohibits magic, but it is also storing magic. It will explode when it reaches a certain level... Can these high-level magicians survive..." Lu Yu, who was hiding behind the Demon Devouring Tree, trembled slightly.

"It's exactly the same as the one in the Silent Mountains!" Lulu trembled all over, and she didn't even dare to carefully feel the torrent of magic around her.

The dark, cold feeling snaked along their backs like a snake, and a familiar feeling of irritability began to emerge.

Lu Yu covered his head, and he found that Lulu had the same reaction.

"The infiltration... has started again..."

"Open the forbidden magic field, and the power of mental pollution will be weakened... Now, it has switched forms!"

One after another, wailing echoed throughout the wilderness, and crazy roars came one after another. Lu Yu wanted to rescue those high-level people who were beginning to be infiltrated, but he had no way to do it.

Whether it was the infiltration power that polluted the mind, or the dual-form switching between the forbidden magic field and the magic storage explosion, the power displayed by the crystal giant had exceeded the upper limit of the strength of this era. If the infiltration butterfly was an incomplete creation, then the crystal giant was the peak puppet left by Sayer and Vanessa.

"Vanessa!!!" The giant roared again, and the dry voice was mixed with mania.

The magicians who had survived the magic torrent created by the crystal giant began to flee quickly. When they passed by the Devouring Demon Tree, they did not forget to remind Lu Yu.

"Put away your summons and run away. Only when the reinforcements from Sligo and the Church arrive and a larger team of high-level magicians are organized to launch an attack, there will be a chance of winning."

The magician who spoke kept covering his head. He had a splitting headache due to the infection, but he still forced himself to fly towards the capital.

Lulu looked at Lu Yu: "Among the summons, there is no one that can..."

"Having felt that power, you should know better than me that no summon can counter his dual forms and the power of the infection... Countering one alone can do it, but this is three." Lu Yu sighed.

Lulu's eyes were firm. She took out the portrait of Vanessa from her backpack: "Another bet?"

Lu Yu was ready to take Lulu away from the battlefield. He came to help, not to die.

He had no good feelings towards the nobles and school mages living in Rodmire. If they all died one day, he would celebrate by feasting and drinking for three days in Dawn Territory.

Their life and death were never considered by Lu Yu.

But...

Vanessa in the portrait smiled quietly, and her shyness and tenderness were clearly visible.

The ground trembled, and the crystal giant once again marched towards the capital. The high-level magician was injured and planned to defend the city and wait for help before counterattacking. Lu Yu was pessimistic about this strategy - the city was as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in front of it.

Lu Yu grabbed the portrait and murmured, "Actually, I prefer Sayer... But I did follow your footsteps and came here... If this is fate, please continue to write it and show a way out for those innocent people."

"Vanessa... Teacher... Bless me and Lulu, and bless the bad disciples who learned your knowledge and peeked at your diary..."

After muttering, Lu Yu put the portrait on Lulu's face and put his hands on her waist.

With her vision blocked, Lulu subconsciously tried to use magic to sense the surroundings, but after feeling the strong and warm hands on her waist, her body softened.

"Do you remember the locking mechanism of the crystal giant?"

Lu Yu's words made Lulu stunned, and she immediately recalled the posture of the crystal giant in the Silent Mountains reflecting everyone's figure and launching an attack.

Lulu trembled all over and said happily: "Do you want me to pretend to be Vanessa?"

"It is just a creation after all. Its recognition ability depends on its internal 'core'. I don't believe its cognitive ability can be perfect enough to distinguish between portraits and real people!"

"This is the only way I can think of to stop the giant from moving forward. It's very risky... I only plan to try it once. If I fail, I will run away immediately." Lu Yu hugged Lulu in his arms with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry..."

"Let's go, just like when we first met, and take risks together," Lulu interrupted Lu Yu, "It's just that this time it's more exciting. If you want to try, I will definitely stay with you."

Lu Yu's body was a little hot, and he didn't say anything more. As the wind attribute magic of the two resonated, they slowly floated towards the crystal giant.

In the malicious and muddy impregnation force, they carefully explored the safe distance, and the huge body like a hill was approaching step by step.

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the shiny mirror of the crystal giant. The magic power scattered around began to shrink, and a suffocating sense of oppression came from all directions.

Lu Yu buried his head completely in Lulu's back and lifted Lulu as high as he could.

Lulu, wearing a Vanessa mask, appeared on every mirror of the crystal giant, and her quiet and gentle smile occupied its body.

Lu Yu, who was ready to summon No. 1 to cover Lulu's escape at any time, had already mobilized his magic power. He felt the breath around him and waited nervously for the crystal giant's action.

The heartbeats of the two were almost synchronized, and the heavy breathing formed a duet.

"Van... Nisha..." The crystal giant stopped, and the amorphous shadow in the spindle-shaped head stopped changing and gradually stagnated.

"Vanessa..."

"I..."

"You..."

"Wake up..."

"Must...finish..."

The crystal giant gradually half-knelt on the ground, and his huge head gradually approached Lulu, but as if he was afraid of hurting "Vanessa", his movements gradually slowed down.

"Must...finish..."

"Wake up..."

"Ritual..."

The crystal giant murmured: "Ritual, must be completed."

After repeating it over and over again, he arranged the words correctly and spoke them out fluently.

"The awakening ritual must be completed."

The crystal giant knelt on one knee, and its spindle-shaped head was raised little by little, facing the sky.

"Magic circuit detection."

The lavender body glowed slightly, and the complex patterns embedded in the body began to appear.

Lulu secretly uncovered the portrait, and looked at the super-giant magic circle in front of her, which was like a line of stars in the sky. She trembled with excitement.

"Ritual magic...unheard of, this pattern is only half, and the other half, it intends to...wait...could it be!"

"The number of high-level consciousness carriers is confirmed..."

The invisible spiritual power was transmitted to every corner of Mela through the dyes one by one. The moment the dye magician who served as the communication tower received the message, the magic power burst out.

"Carrier, confirmed."

In front of the defense lines of the capital Rodmir, the dyes that rushed towards the city wall like zombies stopped one after another. As if they felt something, they all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the crystal giant.

The magic patterns on the crystal giant began to rotate, and the dim nodes glowed brightly. At this moment, its body seemed to have only the function of projection.

Lu Yu was surprised to find that the amorphous shadow was located in the center surrounded by countless magic array nodes.

The magic array like a star map began to continuously absorb the magic power from the surroundings. The amorphous shadow was projected into the void, and gradually showed a human body in the constant twisting.

"Ritual, execute."

As soon as the crystal giant finished speaking, the surging spiritual power overflowed from the crystal giant. The two people who had not yet disconnected the chat heard countless mechanical and numb voices in dizziness.

Different voices from different bodies converged into a river, and they shouted the same name together.

Vanessa.

"Disconnect!"

Before the two people's heads were about to explode with pain, Lulu did her best to terminate the connection between the two, but the "Vanessa" that came and went still echoed in every corner of their minds, and the lingering sound was lingering.

Segro, who was drinking tea and chatting with Orkus, suddenly froze his smile. He listened attentively. In the depths of the quiet Summoning Temple, a voice that was constantly overlapping and repeating came like a torrent.

Orkus also heard that voice.

"Van... Nisha?"

At this moment, thousands of creatures chanted this name together.

The clouds above the sky of the Summoning Temple cracked, and countless orange-yellow light spots gathered towards the light column projected to the ground.

Segro's figure froze, and no matter how Orkus called, there was no response.

Under the endless light spots, a figure exactly like the portrait in Lu Yu's hand emerged.

She walked through the silent and incomplete Summoning Temple without saying a word, and her calm and indifferent eyes swept over Segro who was motionless. Orkus, who was extremely surprised, fell to the bottom of the temple under the endless stream of light.

From beginning to end, Orkus could not see His existence.
