Chapter 2993
Vanessa, who had just returned to the ground to rest, joined Xia De in the night sky after only ten minutes. Xivi and Megan also wanted to follow to help, but Xia De was worried that once they were missing, the sky line that was finally maintained would collapse, so he let the two witches stay here to resist the swarm.
With the continuous appearance of the second wave of the swarm's offensive, not only the bugs themselves, but also the relics or other types of monsters controlled by the Paradox Bugs began to come to the edge of the city from the forest in scattered ways.
The most eye-catching one was the skeleton of an unknown giant. Dozens of bugs climbed onto the spine of the ten-meter-high skeleton at the same time, controlling the skeleton to run from the forest to the city in a strange posture of swinging its arms, and leaped up when it was about to touch the treant-human line, trying to jump directly over those tiny creatures, but was blasted down by the triple fireball technique of an unknown high-order sorcerer in the air.
Xia De was relatively far away, just saw the giant skeleton fall to the ground in embarrassment after the fireball exploded, and then grabbed a house and threw it into the city as a projectile. The city defense shield only defended against entities and non-entities with spirit and elements, so the remains of that huge building flew directly into the city and knocked down half a street before stopping.
The smoke and dust rose into the sky in the snow, and the screams in the city were soon drowned out by the sound of the sorcerers' miracles.
While Xia De and the witches swept past from high altitude, almost all attacks in that area gathered toward the huge skeleton, but immediately received counterattacks from flying stones. As long as pure physical attacks reach a certain level, they might be more effective than fancy miracle attacks. That giant skeleton with a time shield would surely become the most troublesome enemy in the suburbs tonight.
"That just now seemed to be the skeleton of a hill giant. Do you know? I heard Megan say before that the fingers of purebred giants can become magic potion materials, which can be used to prepare magic potions that increase individual strength for a long time."
Vanessa and Xia De saw this scene together in the air, but she didn't seem to care much about the victims tonight—this was inevitable, but was more interested in the skeleton:
"This bone should have been dug out from underground, right? I didn't expect Vista Woodland to have such good things. After the matter here ends, I will also go and dig."
Violent thunder flashed overhead. A giant bird whose whole body seemed to be made of thunder rushed out from the clouds. Paradox Bugs were firmly attached to its back, but before Vanessa could tell Xia De that this was an alien creature "Thunderbird" with the same danger level as unicorns and dragons, two blue dragons flying from higher in the clouds flew over and enveloped the Thunderbird with dragon breath from left and right.
Fire and thunder intertwined, and the ionized ozone immediately reacted with something in the air. The explosion that swallowed the dragon and the Thunderbird directly formed a mushroom cloud in the air.
And the unknown humanoid creature sitting on a magic carpet laughing loudly flew from the night sky further away at this time and passed through the mushroom cloud. Immediately, uncontrollable laughter came out of the mouths of all the people who saw it. The laughter in the air connected into a piece in the background sound of miracle bombardment and swarm buzzing. Although most sorcerers who could join the air battlefield could do non-chanting spellcasting, the scene of so many people laughing while fighting the swarm was still very strange.
Xia De was not affected much, but Vanessa giggled a few times:
"Keeper-level relic 【Laughing Acolyte】, it is said that he was a devout ascetic monk in the monastery of an Old God in the Second Era. After knowing that the Old God had left, he fell into madness. His laughter can infect any creature that can make laughter. The famous miracle 【Natasha's Laughter】 is said to have originated from his power."
After finishing speaking, the little witch covered her mouth, and then angrily raised her little fist and blasted forward:
"Gravity Explosion!"
After a loud bang, the giant "ghost" hidden in the air appeared in the gravity vortex. The strange creature wearing a black robe had the coldness unique to the undead, but its whisper elements were explaining that this was also a relic.
All of the spirit body was hidden in that dirty robe. The position under the cloak that should have been the head was just a piece of rich darkness. After it was forced to appear, it did not run away. The ghost, more than three meters tall and almost integrated with the night, opened its arms in the snow toward the two, but in fact, it was just the sleeves stretching toward both sides.
At this moment, Xia De actually felt a little power from "True Death." Vanessa explained what this was again while preparing to cast a spell:
"Sage-level relic 【Death-Announcing Believer】, legend has it that they are believers of the ancient God of Death, but also worshippers of the first angel - the Death-Announcing Angel. Later, for some reason, they all turned into relics. This kind of thing will spontaneously absorb all happy emotions about life around it, comes with a powerful 'fear aura', and they can make life die directly through hugging."
As she said, she was about to flick the light between her fingers, but Xia De reached out and stopped her:
"Wait a minute, let me try."
He pulled out the pendant on his chest, and faced the relic in front of him with this pendant that had once integrated part of the power of the Death Angel and the 【Angel's Right Arm】 with the power of a priest in his hand:
"In the name of the Death-Announcer, do you really want to attack me?"
The "ghost" that opened its arms silently floated in the air motionless. After waiting for a while, the cold feeling around it receded, and a buzzing sound came from the tattered black robe. After waiting for another ten seconds, the dead Paradox Bugs fell from the robe of the "ghost" toward the city below, and the "ghost" itself exploded into a ball of black mist and disappeared.
"It seems that you have a lot of face everywhere."
The little witch teased, continued to move toward the southwest with Xia De and searched for targets in the swarm, while Xia De said with some regret:
"I originally thought I could let the other party stay and help, but it seems my face is not big enough."
It is not easy to find a specific bug in the swarming swarm, but since Luweiya said that the other party controlled a top-level monster related to the earth, the goal of Xia De and Vanessa was not bugs but various things controlled by bugs.
Alien creatures, relics, unknown subspace evil entities, and even sorcerers controlled by bugs appeared. These things were not wrapped by the insect tide, but more like powerful individuals in the swarm had the qualifications to control other forces.
They not only didn't need to fight themselves, but Xia De also vaguely felt that these Paradox Bugs that controlled other forces seemed to be the commanders of all bugs in an area.
It's just that no one knows how these ancient evil entities communicate with each other, but Xia De did find that after the 【Death-Announcing Believer】 just now killed the bug that controlled it, the insect tide in the nearby area became a little chaotic for a short time, until a new relic appeared and the attack of the insect tide returned to order.
【It's 8:38, one more minute.】
While moving in the swarm with Vanessa in the air, "she" in his ear suddenly reminded him softly. So Xia De, who had just thrown a rotating fireball, immediately scanned the surroundings, but did not see any clues of the "Keeper."
"Do we really have to wait until 39 minutes, not a second more or less?"
While thinking in his heart, he patted Vanessa on the shoulder, and the little witch knew that time was almost up:
"Stay here or continue to move toward the southwest?"
"If we go further, we will leave the sky above the city area. Wait another 60 seconds. I will clear these bugs and leave a field, you send a signal to Sister Daelin, let her move toward our direction. Once the target appears, beat it to a near-death state as soon as possible, but the last blow must be left to 【Angel's Right Arm】 or the sister's flames, otherwise we will have to fight a second round."
Vanessa nodded, activated the sound transmission charm, and threw out the small clay puppet in the shape of a pigeon prepared in her pocket.
At the same time, Xia De took a deep breath and let his body be wrapped in the light of the silver moon again. After Vanessa sent the signal, Xia De turned into the appearance of the moonlight dragon again.
The high-intensity battle tonight actually didn't consume much spirit for Xia De. After all, tonight was the day the silver moon shone, and the recovery speed of his physical strength and spirit under the moonlight ensured that as long as he didn't use powerful forces that consumed a lot, such as forbidden locks and long-term transformation techniques, it was almost equivalent to infinite spellcasting.
Therefore, after turning into a giant dragon again, Xia De didn't skimp on his spirit at all. First, a tail flick, and while the bugs retreated, the giant dragon's open mouth was already brewing crimson flames:
"Chaos Residue!"
Crimson fireballs were sprayed toward the surroundings one by one. The white mist produced by the appearance of the swarm dissipated because of the flames, and the powerful defense of the evil entity's body also melted like ice under the power of the original fire.
Although the continuously sprayed fireballs only successfully burned three bugs between the swarms being caught off guard, the other bugs that were forced back and injured would definitely not attack in this direction for a short time.
So the giant dragon looked at the ground again. Seeing that in the light of the artillery on the outskirts of the city, the ten-meter-high giant skeleton was still throwing huge stones toward the city area, it opened its mouth and sprayed hot dragon breath at the skeleton again.
The sea of fire falling from high altitude submerged the entire street that had been beaten to pieces. The Karsenrik soldiers hiding in the trenches on the outskirts of the city looked up at the giant dragon spreading its wings under the moonlight, and only felt that everything tonight was like a dream:
"There will be plenty of topics to brag about in the tavern in the future."
The giant skeleton melted under the dragon breath, and the bugs that were originally attached to the giant's spine also fled quickly. Xia De originally wanted to spit out a confinement aura to track them, but in the dull low roar, the most powerful whisper element fluctuation so far tonight made him have to turn around and look toward the deeper part of the forest.
