Chapter 307: His Art Style Is Wrong!

~11 min read 2,014 words

Tengu City.

At an altitude above fifteen thousand meters in the sky.

"What's the specific situation?"

Wearing a shirt and draped in a deep crimson military-style coat over it, the girl asked while walking onto the bridge.

"Commander!"

"Don't waste time greeting, quickly explain the situation!"

The man standing by the captain's chair saluted the girl meticulously, but what greeted him was a merciless kick.

However, after taking this kick, the man's face showed not so much pain as an expression of intoxication.

Pervert essence fully exposed without remainder...

"Yes, Commander... the current situation is that AST has already arrived at the scene and is currently battling the Spirit..."

"AST?"

The girl sat in the captain's chair, and hearing this, immediately frowned.

The so-called AST, that is the "Anti-Spirit Team", a unit established with the primary policy of annihilating Spirits by force.

In essence, they are just a group of modern Magicians equipped with CR-Units for the purpose of hunting Spirits, arresting Spirits, killing Spirits.

"Yes, the currently confirmed number is ten, however... their battle situation is very bad."

The man shook his head.

"After all, even using CR-Units, possessing combat ability surpassing ordinary people, it is actually very difficult to oppose Spirits..."

The girl, as Commander, said, also shaking her head: "The power gap between Spirits and Humans is too great, the difference isn't so easily bridged... Huh?"

The latter half of her words cut off abruptly, replaced by a strange syllable.

Because before her voice fell, the bridge's giant screen had already begun playing synchronized footage.

It was an extremely Magic spectacle, the kind generally only seen in Hollywood special effects blockbusters, with all those elements — lightning racing, ground shattering, buildings collapsing... wait.

And causing these conditions were two girls wielding giant weapons...

And—

A single-handedly gripping a Silver Sword, raising a hand to unleash Spells in rapid succession, figure still shrouded in some bizarre Spell effect, turned into a blurred Pale Shadow...

"W-wait..."

The Commander girl's brows locked tight, she quickly recognized one of the girls engaged in combat, she was precisely a member of that AST group.

After all, the CR-Units equipped on the other party were really too easy to recognize.

Those Tactical Manifestation Devices, besides Ratatoskr, the only Organization capable of manufacturing Manifestation Devices is DEM Industries.

Including AST, the Manifestation Devices secretly equipped by military and police worldwide are all from DEM Industries... for a Competitor's flagship product, it's really too easy to Identify.

But this being the case, a problem arose.

That girl is an AST member, probably the type with high fighting spirit and extremely firm will, to the extent that when the other nine teammates were rationally choosing to maneuver and skirmish, maintaining distance for ranged attacks—

Only she, fearless of death, recklessly charged alone, choosing the most ferocious desperate fighting style.

Seemingly holding a Determination to perish together, a will to drag the enemy before her down to Hell even in death.

But... the other one?

The current "Battlefield center" is a melee revolving around three Targets, so the other one?

"Could it be that two Spirits appeared this time?"

"No, not so... but an unexpected factor has indeed appeared." The man beside the captain's chair smiled bitterly, also looking somewhat Headache-knotted.

"We urgently compared the Database, but couldn't query her Identity, nor any entry records..."

"And her actions are very Strange, first clashing with the Spirit manifesting this time, then immediately fighting AST..."

"..."

"..."

The bridge fell briefly Quiet.

The Commander girl Subconsciously gently tapped the armrest beside her seat, eyes like in contemplation: "Sounds like a bystander dragged in, suffering an Unprovoked Disaster..."

"But a bystander wouldn't have this kind of ability..."

From the footage it's clearly visible, that Pale Shadow isn't wearing any Tactical Manifestation Device, yet produced many bizarre special effects and Phenomena.

Simply...

Like a true Wizard, the kind spoken of in stories.

"Huh! Wait, why didn't he— go evacuate?"

And at this moment, the synchronized footage angle switched slightly, letting the Commander girl see a certain boy's figure.

Her expression was slightly startled, but immediately turned Strange, as if thinking of something.

It seems... it's precisely because of her own doing?

Realizing this, the Commander girl couldn't help but be somewhat startled in This Moment, but she definitely couldn't easily express it at this time.

She kept a straight little face, Expressionlessly waved a hand:

"Good timing, immediately Recover him back, this is our most important Secret Weapon after all..."

"Understood!"

The man beside the captain's chair nodded, saluting properly.

However, just at This Moment—

"Unknown unit detected approaching Tengu City!"

The detection Instruments beside the bridge suddenly Flashed Red Light, and the monitoring officer also Wide Eyes, blurted out.

"Speed... uh, speed reached seventeen Mach!"

"...... What?" The Commander girl also couldn't help but freeze for a moment: "What speed has it reached?"

"Seventeen Mach...... speed is even still rising! About to enter Tengu City range, it's heading straight for the Battlefield!"

——————

——————

The Street was already devastated; now it has been thoroughly destroyed.

How to put it, it's like it suffered dense Bombardment by countless missiles, and also like when some prehistoric Giant Beast Charges, flinging the very ground into the air with a Goosebumps-inducing Mors Momentum.

And the one who Manufactured all this......

Was the localized Spacequake that occurred earlier, which first sliced away the terrain of an entire block.

Then came the battle between Spirit and Human, the Remnant Waves of power released, whether high-powered beams, or the super Shockwaves swung by Giant Swords......

Or a series of Strange Spell effects, although low Spell Level, but couldn't stand the Quantity being many, and Element attacks being comprehensive.

However, with Miss Ciri's extremely high Comprehension, she quickly found a particularly easy-to-use Fireball among the Third Circle Spells, and afterward basically the entire Battlefield only had howling Fireballs left.

What stone eruption, Poison Cloud and such......

The hand-feel clearly wasn't as good as the point-where-you-point-hit Fireball......

The Scene was extremely chaotic for a while, after all currently it's equivalent to a Three Parties melee, no one trusts anyone, every side needs to guard against the other two.

And right at this chaotic and out-of-control critical juncture——

A brilliant Rainbow Light, with the speed of a thunderbolt, broke into Tengu City range, rushing straight for the Battlefield!

In no more than a blink, just like a lightning strike descending from the Cloud Layer in the Sky.

The Rainbow Light landed on the Ground in a flash, then the light dispersed, revealing a human figure.

It was a man, with a head of gray-white hair, a tall build, a long scar on his left face, carrying two Longswords on his back simultaneously.

He ignored the chaos at the Scene and the various attacks flying wildly, and just like that, the moment he landed and manifested his Xing Xing, he Decisively Strided toward Miss Ciri's Direction——

And with Lightning-like speed, grabbed the latter's Wrist, speaking in a deep voice.

"Ciri! Go! Hurry!"

"......"

"......"

"What? You——Wait! Geralt?!"

Ciri's whole person was somewhat stunned, seemingly not expecting this kind of development, even more not expecting Geralt to suddenly appear before her eyes.

——This is too dreamlike!

——Wait, could it really be a dream......

After all Geralt has no reason to suddenly appear, and even displayed Strange flying ability......

And the clothes he's wearing are also clearly very Strange, a blue-and-white long-distance running outfit, like that previous person's style, carrying a distinct Thick exotic flavor, not the Witcher style......

"It's me! Hurry, we must leave this World immediately...... Quick, Ciri, Utilize your ability to open the 'Door'!"

Geralt's Tone was anxious, his brow revealing an Urgency difficult to Disguise.

Just at this time, Ciri simply couldn't React, and the Other People on the Battlefield wouldn't just watch, directly launching attacks toward the two's Direction.

It's originally a Three Parties melee, how could they possibly stop at this time?

However——

Geralt acted as if he fundamentally wasn't willing to divide attention to care about these trivialities, he just tightly gripped Ciri's Wrist, while urgently Urging, Decisively extending his other hand in a sweep.

Boom——!!!

This movement, perfunctory like shooing flies, directly stirred up a Hurricane of Destruction!

That Hurricane like a roaring atmospheric Dragon, spiraling and howling, rolling up terrifying Storm Shockwaves, Rushing from Ground to Sky, as if to devour the entire World!

The instantly formed tornado not only directly knocked away the missiles attacking the two, but also sucked in several AST members attacking from the Opposite Side. One member Reacted extremely fast, quickly soaring up, attempting to fly away from original position to escape this disaster.

However......

The raging atmospheric Dragon formed even faster!

Almost instantly, those few people were devoured by the endless vortex, the sky-connecting giant cloud pillar just barely formed, then roared sweeping out, like the God of Death's scythe, harvesting everything.

This terrifying Strike also made that Spirit on the other side, and that AST member fighting desperately, both jump in fright.

They Decisively pulled Distance in the opposite direction, unwilling to be caught up in this terrifying power.

Facts Prove this was also correct, because the terrifying Storm began to move......

Accompanied by Long Yin-like terrifying thunderous Movement, the giant tornado moved laterally, sweeping away everything along the way! Where it passed, it nearly tore the Ground part of Tengu City directly in half!

Mansions, high-rises, Streets, overpasses......

All Construction Integration and road surfaces, and Facilities, including those parts farther from the Battlefield that hadn't collapsed, were all uprooted, torn into Fragments!

Even Ciri, who was at close range yet unaffected, Subconsciously widened her eyes instantly——

What situation?

How could Geralt possibly be this strong?!

The Wind continued roaring, in this instant, Ciri felt an extremely strong Sensation of Unreality.

She was dizzy, looking at this Geralt before her who gave a feeling both Strangeness and Familiar, seriously Suspecting she was dreaming......

"Don't daze! We're out of time!"

Geralt, having displayed formidable strength, Urged again, Expression and Tone even more urgent.

He fundamentally didn't care what kind of Movement his casual strike just now caused, as if some extremely Terrifying, Urgent huge Threat made him restless at this moment.

"W-wait! I...... I can't open the 'Door' right now!"

Ciri currently couldn't think calmly, could only Subconsciously answer, and in the roaring Storm, instinctively raised her volume, shouting loudly.

"What?! How could this——"

Geralt's expression changed at once, as if he had clenched his teeth.

But he had no time to say more; seeming to perceive something, he immediately turned around, his face grave and eyes indifferent as he stared at the Sky.

Ciri also faintly sensed it, as if some powerful energy fluctuation; merely its faint approach made one feel, from the depths of the spirit, a wave of Oppressive Atmosphere and Fear...

Almost unable to breathe.

She bit her lower lip tightly, just about to open her mouth and ask something, when she saw Geralt had already moved a step ahead.

This tall white-haired man pressed his palms together, then swiftly formed a Sword Art hand seal, glaring as he shouted angrily—

"—Rise!"

In an instant, Sword Qi seemed to streak like a rainbow, piercing straight through the Chang Kong, carrying a sonorous, clear hum.

The two Longswords on his back soared into the sky, trailing brilliant great swaths of Sword Light, howling straight up into the Qing Ming!

Immediately...

One became two, two became four, four became eight... like Sword Light splitting, yet also like rapid self-Copying!

Mors Magnificent, they slashed across the Chang Kong, Fangfu tens of thousands of cold Sword Light like a vast school of fish swimming upstream, circling to and fro in the vault of heaven, emitting bursts of Sword Cry!

One must say, this scene was extremely xianxia-style...

But performed by Geralt, it was really too Discord and Strange...

Even Ciri felt this way; she stared blankly at the scene before her, her Brain almost unable to think any further.

Am I crazy? This Geralt he...

His Art Style... that's not right!
