Chapter 515 Headed to the West District (3k)
A somewhat clear voice silenced the scene. If there was a Battle King level Priest, it could indeed change the course of the battle. Battle King level Priests could provide healing and amplification.
With their blessings, the old man and the others might be able to fight this demon, or even counterattack. Priests, especially powerful ones, are battlefield machines; the effect of 1+n is definitely greater than 1+n.
As soon as this was said, even the huge demon’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow. It then closed its eyes and used its mental power to scan the surroundings. In just half a second, it slowly relaxed its brows and sneered, “Priest? Humans are indeed cunning… Tell me, where is the Priest?”
The old man looked with narrowed eyes, and after seeing the appearance of the person who arrived, he was speechless. He said in a low voice, “Ivy, where is the Priest you mentioned?”
“Didn’t she come over before me?”
Ivy blinked slightly and pointed to the open space ahead, only to see that the Snow Guard Commanders were also looking at her in confusion. She was also a bit confused.
Where is the person?
Just as everyone was stunned, with a flash of white light, a sound of breaking wind suddenly echoed from the sky!
“Someone is coming.”
The demon quickly reacted, its pupils contracting sharply, then it slightly turned its body, wanting to look behind it.
The next moment, powerful energy surged, and a graceful figure holding a loquat branch streaked across the sky like lightning, followed by the sound of flesh being cut.
Screech!
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, a huge black object heavily fell to the ground. That black giant was the demon’s massive wing, and one could faintly see blood splashing as blood vessels ruptured.
Dust billowed from the landing spot, and the sudden change stunned everyone, including the Snow Guard Commanders.
But a glint flashed in the gray-robed old man’s eyes as he looked at the graceful figure in mid-air who was standing on par with the demon. He said softly, “A Demigod strong person has come ahead to save the situation.”
“Demigod strong person?”
Looking up slightly at the sky, Ivy saw an ice jade gourd hanging beside the graceful figure. She was very familiar with this figure. Wasn’t this the Priest who had come with her?
“She’s actually so strong?”
Looking at the loquat branch in her hand, Ivy remembered that the other party had broken her formation with a single blow. Her conjecture overlapped, and the other party was indeed not as simple as an ordinary Priest.
“Human!”
With one wing cut off, the huge demon’s face first showed an unconcealable anger, then its eyes suddenly sharpened. It moved its claws, like blades, and slashed outward diagonally, its claws stirring up several fierce winds.
“Now’s the time!”
Seeing the sharp claws, like short swords, slashing over, Su Jiu muttered to herself. She held the loquat branch in reverse, then took a step back. The loquat branch in her hand, like a cornered sword, collided with the claws with a “ding!” sound.
“Seeking death!”
The demon’s face showed a triumphant smile. It suddenly bent its claws, its arm trembled, and a surge of external qi erupted from its arm, pressing forward with the force of spirit!
At this moment, a butterfly quietly floated from under Su Jiu’s skirt, ignoring the force, and floated towards its back…
“Cough…”
As air currents collided all around, Su Jiu was sent flying dozens of meters away by the force. After tumbling in mid-air, she stabilized herself by stepping in the void. The golden mask on her face turned into dust, revealing her pale little face.
And on the demon’s face, there was a wound about one to two centimeters deep. Black blood streamed down, making its face, which was about to mock, turn both surprised and angry. The black flesh tissues combined and kept healing with external qi.
“Human, you have truly angered me completely. I was ordered by my master not to devour you immediately. Since you are seeking death, don’t blame me!”
With that, it grinned sinisterly at Su Jiu. The demon stomped the void with its foot, and then its figure suddenly shot out, its claws waving, tearing the very air. The sharp whistling sound made the Snow Guards’ hearts clench again.
In reality, at the same level, the larger the size, the greater the basic strength and defense. There are no counterexamples, which is why wrestlers are divided into weight classes.
“Do we need to speak up?”
The gray-robed old man’s face also tensed, and he quickly said, not wanting the support he had finally gained to be wasted.
“No need, Blood Surge!”
Shaking her head, Su Jiu casually picked up the wine gourd with her fingertips, took a sip of the wine, and after slightly calming her blood, her fingertips glowed with a vibrant red light, and her entire aura became strange.
As the red light lit up, the giant monster’s body came to a halt. The next moment, the sound of water spraying erupted from its body, “Splash!!” The severed wing on its back was like an exploding fire hydrant, and blood shot out, almost instantly dyeing the surrounding streetlights black and purple.
“What did you do?”
The demon stopped in mid-air, its expression panicked as it used external qi to block the bleeding. However, Su Jiu’s eyes were like torches, looking forward. Her blood-red pupils had faint fluctuations, as if she was brewing something.
The next moment, Su Jiu coughed lightly, closed her eyes, and a blood-red sword darted from her brow towards the monster’s forehead, it was the [Sword Language] taught by Bernice, also known as mental power attack!
When its forehead was pierced by Su Jiu’s sword, the demon’s black pupils became dull.
As for why Su Jiu took this blow head-on and forcefully used [Sword Language] to attack…
“Butterfly Slash.”
Under everyone’s gaze, the demon quickly regained its senses, its face showing an enraged expression. It felt like it had been toyed with by the person in front of it. Just as it was about to kick back and charge forward, it suddenly found a scythe blade at its neck.
“When?!”
Hearing a gentle female voice from behind, the demon’s heart trembled. It wanted to dodge, but its entire head was caught by the inner blade of the scythe, making it impossible to move…
“It was then…”
It suddenly remembered that when it was fighting the other party, a butterfly had floated towards its back unnoticed. Its face then turned ugly, and it roared at Su Jiu, “Did you deliberately take my charge?”
“Soul Snatch.”
However, its response was a flash of blue light. The scythe, under everyone’s gaze, pulled back fiercely, and the huge body seemed to lose its support and rolled down…
“Remember to dig out the magic crystals.”
Looking at the scene before her, Su Jiu said lightly, landing with her heels first and retreating to the side of the Snow Guards. Under their astonished gazes, her fingertips glowed green, and blood-gold leaves descended with the wind and snow.
Everyone felt a healing light emanating from their bodies. The gray-robed old man at the forefront was first stunned, somewhat shocked in his heart that the other party was indeed a Priest. However, his expression did not change much. He cupped his fist and said respectfully,
“Thank you, young lady, for your help. May I know your name, so we can thank you in the future.”
Looking at Bernice landing lightly, Su Jiu’s gaze fell on the dark purple magic crystal in her hand. She also smiled and waved at the old man, asking softly, “Let’s not talk about that for now, what’s the situation in the West District main city now?”
“The West main city…”
The old man pondered slightly, looked at the other commanders beside him, and gestured with his eyes, trying to get them to answer.
“The situation in the West is very bad. If that Mr. Secretary is defeated, the formation may not last long.” The commander who was looked at shook his head, his face filled with bitterness, and he looked into the distance, only to see frost mist.
Upon receiving this result, the gray-robed old man’s brows furrowed slightly, his entire face resembling old tree bark. Then, his brows suddenly relaxed as if he had thought of something. He suddenly asked,
“What about the Main City Cannon? I remember that thing should be able to cause damage to War God level, you know, that cannon was built to resist the invasion of the Calder Empire.”
Hearing the name “Calder” Empire, Su Jiu’s first reaction was the last stand in her previous life of Bear Country. She didn’t expect this city to have a history of resisting that once arrogant army.
Main City Cannons are not something ordinary cities would build. Su Jiu, having read books for the past two years, wasn’t reading in vain. She did know about this thing – this is real artillery for [City] level warfare.
While Su Jiu was lost in thought, the commander who spoke earlier continued to answer, his expression full of helplessness: “Alchemist Guild members can barely control the Main City Cannon, but controlling the Main City Cannon requires someone who is both proficient in Alchemy and has high Mental Power. With their methods, they cannot effectively retaliate against that agile demon.”
After all, it was not a combat period, and those high-level special talents would not be stationed in this border area. The difficulty of controlling this cannon was not small.
Su Jiu also muttered to herself. She couldn’t find the little loli now. Should she help defend the city or find her whereabouts?
“Commander, it seems… this Priest… Master should be able to try, right?”
Just as everyone was silent, Ivy suddenly spoke, looking at Su Jiu, and asked uncertainly.
“Her? Her Mental Power is sufficient, but she needs to be proficient in Alchemy, at least a high-level Alchemist.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Su Jiu. The gray-robed old man’s eyes held a hint of suspicion. He didn’t believe that one person could have so many identities, and Alchemy was a profession that consumed age. Those who had achievements were usually very old, except for geniuses.
“Sorry, I don’t know much about Alchemy.”
Being suddenly mentioned, Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, glanced at the white captain named Ivy, and slightly covered her face with the towel. She decided to refuse the suggestion.
“I need to go to other places to look. Let’s part ways here.”
Unlike the others, she needed to find the “Ice Sky Vulture” and restrain it in advance, otherwise, a mid-level War God in a large form going berserk would not be easily stopped by the city defense formation.
The current goal is to infiltrate the demon area in the west of the city and search for the “little loli.”
Everyone, including the old man, heard Su Jiu’s voice and agreed. Then, they bid farewell to Su Jiu and her companion. Ivy, however, gazed deeply at Su Jiu’s retreating figure. She felt that the other party could definitely control that Alchemy City Defense Cannon…
The sky in the west of the city seemed to brighten up. Then, a few kilometers outside the city wall, a figure appeared. Her hair trailed on the grass, and her expression was a little sleepy, her whole body lazy.
“This is too slow. If these traitors don’t make a move soon, who knows how long it will take.”
The girl yawned, took out a few Beginner Magic Crystals from her pocket, and looked at them with some disdain, but still ate them. Her gaze fell on a corpse in a pile of rocks, and she narrowed her eyes.
The corpse was wearing a Snow Guard uniform, with a bronze medal pinned to it…
