Chapter 278 Chapter 72 Elisys
Under the holy light banner raised by the knights, a nun in a silver robe saw Ig’s face. Her clear blue eyes rippled with surprise as she exclaimed:
“Young Master?”
Flan quietly suppressed the fluctuations of blood flowing on her small body. The dazzling, bright light falling on her face made her ruby-like eyes involuntarily narrow slightly.
As a Blood Race, Flan harbored uneasy feelings towards the nun and the knights of the holy light, let alone at a time like this when even Verafia was not by her side.
However, from the current scene, these people seemed to be familiar with Ig, which made Flan even more hesitant. She could only hastily try to hide the aura of blood and quietly step back to lower her presence.
Although Ophi was still worried about Verafia, whom she had just swallowed, her eyes immediately lit up with realization upon seeing Flan beside her. She quickly moved her slender feet to stand in front of the Blood Race girl.
The Ice Dragon Girl raised her cheeks and looked at the approaching humans. Under the frost ice that covered her arm, her slender hand gripped the Dragon Spear, its demonic power shining and rippling, releasing demonic power fluctuations that masked the faint scent of blood emitted by Flan in the air.
However, the nun called Chrisis and the surrounding knights clearly hadn’t noticed the low-presence Flan, and hadn’t even paid attention to this noble Dragon and Dofiraia for a moment. Instead, they followed the nun’s voice and looked at the black-haired young man.
“Sister Chrisis! Is that you?”
The black-haired young man raised his face, which fell into the bright light. He rushed to the nun’s side. Ophi, having been ignored, was annoyed for a short while before quickly dispersing. Her dragon tail, which appeared somewhat lustrous and watery blue in the light, flicked as she hurriedly followed.
“Is it really you, Young Master? I didn’t expect to meet you here. Your unannounced departure half a year ago was the Lord’s command, wasn’t it…”
The nun in the silver robe with soft golden hair grabbed the young man’s hand, her clear blue eyes examining him with considerable surprise. Although she hadn’t seen him for only half a year, Elisys felt a difficult-to-describe but immense change in Ig.
“Ig, wait… Eh, are these humans your friends?”
The girl’s voice, as clear as a transparent frost crystal, reached them. Ophi, holding the Dragon Spear, ran to the young man’s side. The Ice Dragon Girl looked at the silver-robed nun and the knights holding luminous sword edges in front of her, and suddenly felt a hint of timidity, asking Ig.
When Elisys saw Ophi, a hint of surprise appeared in her expression again. The girl in front of her was clearly a Dragon with noble blood in her eyes, but she was by Ig’s side.
Elisys, while holding the young man’s hand, covered her fingers with pure white divine light, intending to heal him before asking, but suddenly, Ig gripped the nun forcefully, his raised face filled with urgency.
“Sister Elisys, I’m fine. Look, that barrier constructed by dark demonic power. Sister Elisys, do you have a way to break it?”
Although Elisys’s holy power level didn’t exceed Platinum, Ig had no solution for the black barrier that Ophi and Flan had struggled to shake with several full-power attacks. He could only hope that Elisys, as a nun of the Holy Church, had divine arts and demonic power that could counter this attribute.
The urgency in Ig’s voice was evident not only to the nun but also to the knights around him. Elisys dared not delay, raising her face to look at the place the young man was pointing at while hastily releasing a spell to investigate.
“The barrier Ig, you’re talking about? Indeed, it’s the demonic power fluctuations we just felt. I presume it was fighting with you, Young Master.”
The silver-robed nun leaned on her staff, her face illuminated by the overflowing holy light bearing a solemn expression.
As Elisys swung her staff to try and probe, she turned her eyes towards Ig in front of her. Seeing the young man’s anxious expression, she guessed:
“It seems you have other companions trapped inside. From your expression, Young Master, she is very important to you?”
“Miss Verafia…”
Ig’s voice paused, and he suddenly nodded forcefully: “She is a very important friend to me.”
“So it’s a girl…?”
—
On the way to where the battle had taken place, Ig briefly explained the previous battle to Elisys and the girls beside him.
“It looks like the power of the ‘Abyss’? Hmm, I’ve also heard the name ‘Abyssal Church’ from the Bishop Lord. If that’s the case…”
Elisys pondered, then suddenly raised her eyes. With the casting of divine arts by her side, pure white light shone down.
“Young Master, and several young ladies, let me try first. But please don’t worry. My previous spell faintly sensed a life force within this barrier, which is enough to be felt. I presume Miss Verafia will be alright.”
Ig nodded, and he, Ophi, and Dofi, who had walked forward, took a step back. As for Flan, with her aura hidden, she appeared like an exquisite doll, following by Ig’s side, but she seemed to be keeping a slight distance.
Elisys didn’t pay too much attention. Her fair palm was enveloped in a thin layer of white light. As it touched the barrier, composed entirely of abyssal demonic power, the white light decomposed into countless fine threads, seeping into the pitch blackness, as if an endless night were consuming it.
The silver-robed nun furrowed her delicate brows as she felt the demonic power fluctuations:
“Indeed, this power is not the same as ordinary dark demonic power. If it is truly the Abyss that you mentioned, Young Master…”
But suddenly, the nun’s voice faltered, and an expression of extreme shock appeared on her beautiful face, “Wait, the structure here… is being destroyed. I sense fire… no, far more than that!”
Elisys hurriedly waved her staff, and a diamond-shaped shield of luminous crystal quickly condensed in front of her. At the same time, she hastily shouted to the Ice Dragon Girl blocking in front of Ig: “Miss Ophi, be careful!”
Hearing this, Ophi immediately thrust her Dragon Spear forward, creating a solid thick ice wall in front of herself and Ig. Almost at the same moment, glaring red cracks appeared in the pitch-black barrier in front of the silver-robed nun, releasing high temperatures, and it suddenly exploded with a boom!
The intensely bright flame light melted the shattering abyssal power, and the scorching impact collided with the ice wall built by Ophi with a boom.
Amidst the firelight, a slender figure was thrown into mid-air by the strong impact released by the explosion. Ig’s pupils contracted, and he instinctively moved towards where the girl was flying:
“Young Lady!”
