Chapter 2992

When he was on the ground in the city, Xia De didn't truly realize what the second wave of the insect tide meant, but when the moonlight dragon carried the witch and broke through the shield above the city, Xia De immediately felt like he had drilled into a pile of buzzing flies.

Paradox Bugs could be seen everywhere. Because these bugs were born from different stories and slept for different times, the differences between individuals were extremely large, but this did not prevent them from noticing that the huge dragon had drilled out of the city, so almost all the bugs within a hundred meters of Xia De rushed toward them.

"Moonlight Breath!"

Pure silver moonlight sprayed toward the surroundings, and the white mist under the night sky was swept away, but only a few bugs hit head-on by the moonfire wobbled and exited the battle area. More bugs completely ignored the power of moonlight, flapping their wings together and spitting white mist at the dragon from all directions.

The white mist that distorted time and corrupted matter touched the glowing scales of the moonlight dragon, and it also did not cause any impact on the dragon's body. This level of time power was far from enough to affect Xia De.

Therefore, while both sides were doing useless work, Xia De only needed to carefully protect Megan behind him and Audrey who had just appeared. The twin witches holding hands also reminded him after the first round of attacks by the dragon and the bugs:

"Don't go too far from the ritual base arranged by the Church. Within the influence range of the ritual, the time power of these bugs will be greatly weakened. If you want to eliminate these bugs, follow the method we said before to draw the power of the ritual to bless yourself. The power of this ritual can completely break the influence of those white mists."

A huge number of bugs caused a huge amount of white mist to dissipate under the starry sky, which was also the reason why the starry sky seen in the city was blurry. However, although this large ritual provided by the Church of Dawn could give sorcerers wearing medals the effect of ignoring the defense of Paradox Bugs, the power of the ritual did not come out of thin air. If used too quickly, it might instead affect the protective effect of the shield.

So Xia De adopted another method. The giant dragon flicked its tail to sweep away the bugs approaching its body. Then its claws grabbed the largest bug around. While the white mist around it tried to corrode the dragon's claws, the dragon grabbed the bug and brought it to its mouth.

Megan had to admit that for a moment, she actually thought Xia De would eat the bug. But fortunately, Xia De didn't want to do that. Red flames surged in the giant dragon's open mouth, and in that loudest dragon roar, it spat out the most primitive dragon breath belonging to the giant dragon.

The power of the original fire was mixed in this surging dragon breath, hitting the bug in the dragon's claws head-on. But because this was not the real original fire after all, it took a full five seconds for the bug to turn into charcoal in the dragon's claws.

The moonlight dragon threw away the bug's remains casually, and the charred carapace fell toward the bottom along with the bug's remaining residue that was smoking in the snow. The charred bug remains touched the golden city shield, stirred up a gorgeous light mark, and then continued to fall toward the city area below, and were successfully caught by the sorcerers in the city responsible for recovering the wounded and dealing with enemies who broke into the shield.

Closing its mouth, when the moonlight dragon turned its head to scan the surroundings, there were still some sparks mixed in the breath sprayed from its nasal cavity. The evil entity that gnawed on the World Tree was not without wisdom, so the swarm that had just gathered here dispersed, finally allowing Xia De, Megan, and Audrey to see the situation around them clearly.

And "she" smiled and reminded:

【Outsider, you can eliminate Paradox Bugs by eating them. You have fully understood the characteristics of this evil entity, and its own curse and filth are no more dangerous than the "distortion of the earth's origin" you once absorbed.】

"This isn't a joke, is it?"

The giant dragon opened its mouth again to accumulate power, and the red flames sprayed out burned a vacuum area in the insect tide.

【Of course it's not a joke, but don't eat too much, otherwise indigestion may still cause you to have a fever and be bedridden again.】

"She" seemed to be saying that the reason Xia De was bedridden at the beginning of this year was not that the "distortion of the earth's origin" caused damage to his body, but that his body could not digest such powerful power at once.

The moonlight dragon wanted to know how high its poison resistance was, but at least for now, he didn't intend to really eat those disgusting things:

"Roar!"

The third fan-shaped crimson flame finally drove the surrounding bugs away completely, revealing the figures of Xivi and Vanessa who were also flying around. So Megan and Audrey held hands and left the back of the moonlight dragon. The sisters injected light into 【Sorrow of Blood】, and the giant sword marks cut down allowed the Earth Witch and the Light Witch to finally fly over and join them.

"Vanessa, it's your turn to swap shifts."

Megan reminded, and the little witch didn't shirk. The life ring and golden stairs behind her disappeared. She flew in front of the giant dragon, left a kiss on the scales on the side of the dragon's head, then pulled the injured follower she had been protecting by her side, and fell straight toward the city center with other exhausted girls.

Their falling speed was quite fast, but gravity mutated before touching the ground, making them float down like feathers when they were only two meters away from the ground. Xivi sent someone to meet them and took the injured girl away, while Vanessa walked toward Emilia, whose eyes were shining.

"Sister Daelin is in the south of the city, and the Guardian of the Earth has just returned from sealing the time rift outside the city, and has probably arrived in the east of the city now."

In the swarm, Xivi introduced the situation to the two quickly, and the area where everyone was currently located was the area where witches and followers were active. Besides them, Mr. Minsker Todels, the Thirteenth-Order Ringed Ringed Shushi "White Dove Messenger" of the Church of Peace, also led a team here. He almost stood on the transparent shield protecting the city, controlling the pigeons to launch suicide attacks on any bugs that dared to approach.

The exploding pigeons did not explode into flesh and blood, but formed a special space similar to a black hole that collapsed inward to banish the bugs. And even if the bugs affected by the explosion escaped the black hole range, bright golden "hunting marks" would be left on their bodies, and they would be at a disadvantage when facing any divine arts of the Five Gods Church.

You know, the full name of the Church of Peace is the "Church of War and Peace." The reason why it didn't call itself the "Church of War" was not because it was not good at fighting, but because peace sounded better than war.

If someone could overlook this place from a higher altitude, what they could see was the black swarm approaching the golden "eggshell" in the middle of the woodland from all corners of the woodland, and then falling to the ground one after another after approaching the eggshell.

The efficiency of mortals killing "Paradox Bugs" was actually not high, they just relied on the huge ritual relying on the city structure to contend with the bugs whose power was suppressed. And what really made the Paradox Bugs reduce in number rapidly, besides Xia De who had just appeared and Megan and Audrey holding 【Sorrow of Blood】, were actually only two Chosen Ones.

Sister Daelin did not show any power belonging to the "Chosen One of Death" at this moment. She just floated in the night sky holding her most familiar weapon 【Ash】 in one hand, and sparks floated from the ends of her long hair and robe with the night wind to the distance.

The ash stone shell on the surface of the long sword had long since peeled off. As long as the burning great sword hit a 【Paradox Bug】, it would definitely make it burn until it was completely burned out before it was willing to extinguish.

And although the efficiency of the "Guardians of the Earth" was slightly lower, when hundreds of figures walked out from behind the Guardians and were evenly distributed in the sky in the east of the city, those pitch-black magic bugs flying from the forest couldn't even get close before being directly pressed to the ground by powerful gravity, and then swallowed by the earth again.

Because of the existence of the two of them, the air battlefield could still hold up after welcoming the second round of fierce attacks from the swarm. The swarm that found it difficult to approach the east and south of the city was intercepted by other Thirteenth-Order sorcerers even if it diverted to other directions.

As for the ground battlefield, the awakened ancient corrupted treants had reached the edge of the city. After stepping on the traps laid in advance and being subjected to the first round of concentrated fire attacks by sorcerers ambushing in the deserted blocks on the outskirts of the city, a large number of treants still walked into the outer city area where no one was left with slow movements, and then welcomed the steam cannons and landmine attacks of the Karsenrik garrison.

Treants didn't have unreasonable time shields. Although they had ways to resist ordinary firepower, sufficiently strong firepower still stopped their footsteps in the outer city area.

The army and sorcerers cooperated with each other, and after lighting two streets, they fought against those corrupted treants across the sea of fire. The order they received was that even if only one person was left, the ground defense line must never be lost. The main battlefield of the war tonight was the sky, so the strength of the sorcerers deployed on the ground defense line was slightly worse, but it must never collapse before the sky.

The black swarm gradually covered most of the starry sky, and the "fire meteors" produced by the falling bugs were like a meteor shower tonight. And the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and dull thunder sounded in the clouds, but no one knew why the lightning that tore through the sky came.

Because the dragon form consumed too much, Xia De returned to human form shortly after joining the battlefield, and then waved 【Angel's Right Arm】 with his right hand and threw 【Chaos Residue】 with his left hand to help the witch's teams clear the Paradox Bugs.

Of course, he didn't forget that his real task was to find the "Keeper" in the swarm army, so he didn't use his full strength in the battle. After confirming that the Church could hold up for the time being even without him, Xia De followed Luweiya's prophecy—the "Keeper" would appear in the sky southwest of the city at 8:39 PM tonight, and kept moving toward the southwest of the city.
