The Star Order considers itself the guardians of this dangerous world that is changing faster and faster and becoming more and more chaotic. They shoulder an ancient and glorious mission.
Just like the thousand-year-old monasteries in fairy tales, they maintain a secret heritage like ascetics.
but……
This also led to embarrassing problems.
Whenever an organization's inheritance exceeds a thousand years, internal division is inevitable.
The same is true for the Star Secret Society.
Their ancestors had driven out the alien invaders with great difficulty a thousand years ago. It was a tragic victory, but its glory could not have continued a thousand years later.
After all, organizations are made up of people, and people need to make a living, and everyone has their own ideas and pursuits.
A great mission cannot be used to make a living.
Especially when the world around us becomes more and more exciting and vibrant... the ancient persistence becomes quite difficult and out of date.
Plus, the invaders haven’t shown up for a thousand years.
Without the dragon, the hero's existence would be meaningless.
All these reasons combined have resulted in the ancient advice gradually becoming mere rumors and stories listened to by later generations over the past thousand years.
There have been at least three major splits in this organization.
And after each split, the powerful Secret Order would decline, just like a sad ebb tide. Now, a thousand years later, there are only so many warriors that the Secret Order can gather together and fight to maintain orthodoxy.
More than two hundred people.
And their strengths vary.
Fortunately, according to Ms. Asuna, the number of invaders is not large, only two, so two hundred people, this absolute number should be enough to crush them, right?
"What? Knight Roland is missing?"
Just when the members were inspired by the ancient mission and were ready to do something big, the witch Asuna , suddenly received bad news.
Knight Roland, who brought people from Miami to help, has disappeared!
This Knight Roland was one of the most powerful fighters in the Secret Society. He had held a meeting with her half an hour ago. How could he suddenly...
"Maybe he went out to relax?"
Another wizard who was familiar with Knight Roland stroked his wand and whispered:
"Although Roland sticks to his principles, he likes to go to nightclubs. We all have little hobbies. As long as it doesn't affect the big things, as the leader, you should be more tolerant, Asuna."
"Are you stupid?"
Asuna the witch said irritably:
"It's just morning! How can a nightclub be open at this time? Something must have happened to him, maybe an intruder took him... Wait, there's a force approaching!
Six...
No, a lot!
Defend! Quick! "
"boom"
The witch, who reacted very quickly, had just put up the red-purple energy shield when a loud explosion with an arc of light shot up in the town. As the explosives poured down crazily in a short period of time, the windows on the second floor of the apartment were also shattered by the air wave.
Amidst the flying glass shards, a figure jumped in nimbly.
"Hello, everyone."
Lao Jiang greeted the several "big shots" in front of him very friendly.
As his windbreaker swayed, the ring in his hand flashed with light, and a black, heavy, coldly shining Gatling gun fell into his palm. The spiritual markings on it lit up quickly, and this weapon of destruction driven by spiritual stones immediately made a terrifying sound of motor running.
The next moment, amid the witch's screams, expensive magic-breaking bullets exploded like a steel storm in this small but quaint and elegantly decorated study.
The intoxicating sound of the thunder and lightning stirred the strings of destruction, easily tearing apart the luxurious mahogany desk, and also tearing apart the two little wizards standing next to it.
Disgusting blood and flesh were splattered everywhere, and an entire wall collapsed rapidly under the violent bombardment, bringing the outside sunlight in here, mixing with the pink smoke and dust.
The samurai who reported to the witch Asuna grabbed his shield, trying to block the burst of bullets.
But unfortunately.
The bullets shot by the big villain who fell from the sky were not ordinary little cuties. With the blessing of expensive krypton gold tactics, the shield that might be a magic creation only blocked it for less than a second.
This solid object that symbolized defense was torn apart by the spirit-possessed steel storm and failed to protect its owner, who was then mashed into a pulp by the howling little cuties in fear.
The ancient books, scrolls and ornaments on the bookshelves were blown all over the place, and the scattered papers fell like feathers, spinning and falling amid the roaring and noisy sounds.
But the thousand-year heritage of the Secret Society still has some foundation.
Three seconds after Lao Jiang opened fire, with an angry scream, the witch Asuna, who put on her "ink" battle makeup again, did the same as when she sniped Kisaragi at the Metropolitan Museum of Art the night before.
Her body was covered by moving shadows, which unleashed the power of witchcraft , making it impossible for the possessed bullets to harm her.
She appeared in the ruins in front of Lao Jiang and waved her hands to summon her own power.
Three red and purple energy snakes leaped up and transformed into the most ferocious beasts, pouncing towards Lao Jiang. Behind Jiang Xia, the wizard who had also escaped the disaster by using a similar teleportation spell also raised his wand with a gloomy expression.
Senhan's magic power is gathering.
In an instant, more than thirty ice spikes gathered in front of the wizard, and were about to pierce Lao Jiang's body, but the magic summons were interrupted at the last moment.
Amid the long wolf howls, the blindfolded silly monster Liu Hui violently broke through the wall and slammed into the wizard like a battering ram. At the moment of contact, his sharp bone claws left ten claw marks in the air.
"ah"
The wizard, blood gushing out of his body, screamed and was knocked away.
Liu Hui was not going to let him go, so she took a step forward, breaking the floor, and then crashed into the wall, then rushed out after the wizard.
"boom"
The energy snakes summoned by witch Asuna bit Jiang Xia from three directions. The energy level of this attack was close to the real-world spell. It seemed that there was something wrong with Ruzuki's information.
The witch guarding the New York branch is more powerful than the intelligence reported.
but……
Not good enough.
The three savagely shaped energy snakes slammed into the air five inches in front of Lao Jiang. The witchcraft energy they carried created dazzling sparks on the shining earth spirit shield.
It was like flowing lava hitting the mountain wall.
The spirit-possessed Gatling gun with an empty bullet chain in Jiang Xia's hand was thrown into the storage ring. At this moment, the Magic Cube of the Universe rose from Lao Jiang's arms and hovered above his left arm.
Fifty-four blocks rotate horizontally and vertically along the middle axis.
Outside the Earth Spirit Shield, in less than two seconds, seven or eight Five Elements spells were cast forward. The power was not great, but the scene was lively, with dancing fire snakes mixed in the exploding cold air.
There is also the entangled poison of Yi wood and clods of earth that turn into heavy fists.
There is also the invisible but extremely sharp Gengjin energy.
This wave of spells was like a fight between great wizards. Witch Asuna didn't expect that the violent man in front of her holding a Gatling gun was actually a spellcaster?
But she was a famous witch and her reaction was very quick.
The witchcraft power that covered his body like ink immediately gathered into a ball, protecting the front of him and taking the bombardment of this wave of five elements spells head-on.
He also gathered the red-purple energy of his supernatural powers into wings, and it seemed that he was planning to leave this small, collapsing apartment and go to a wider area outside to fight the invader.
She had just started when she saw Jiang Xia raise his left hand.
At this moment, dazzling blue-purple arcs of electricity squeezed out from every growing and evolving discharge cell around Jiang Xia's body, and then gathered and launched with the magical power of controlling electricity.
Finally, it was slightly strengthened by the Thunder Stone in the left arm prosthesis.
It looks very much like Odin or Zeus in mythology.
It was just a scaled-down version, but when the dazzling lightning spear with a flashing arc was grasped by Lao Jiang's left hand, the witch Asuna's heart suddenly tightened.
Strong enemy!
"boom"
The buzzing thunder gun was thrown out by Lao Jiang the next moment.
In less than a second, the dazzling halo hit the witch head-on and shattered her witchcraft power. But beyond the witchcraft, the red-purple energy that turned into wings was like a bird curling up its wings.
It turned into a shield, blocking the witch's body and taking the violent lightning spear.
The moment the lightning spear was annihilated, five metallic fingers clenched into a heavy fist, and in the explosion of the three-point self-sacrifice decision, it hit the front of Asuna's dark red energy like a battering ram.
The impact force of the kinetic energy conversion tore through the energy, and the impact was unavoidable, pushing the witch out through the broken wall behind her.
She spun around awkwardly in the air for a few times before finally landing safely on the ground.
When I looked up, I saw Lao Jiang standing on the edge of the broken wall with his right hand in his trouser pocket. The strange Rubik's Cube was hanging on his shoulder, still twisting.
He used the remaining electric arc in his left hand to light the cigarette at the corner of his mouth.
He was very friendly and waved to her condescendingly.
Just like greeting between friends.
???
What's going on?
The witch was stunned for a moment. This person...
Not pursuing?
Then she noticed the current situation in the town.
confusion!
It's chaos!
The strange woman she had met that night was now wearing a white short dress, her legs wrapped in black stockings, and high heels, dressed like a capable urban woman.
But she was holding an assault rifle with an extended magazine in her hand, and she didn't aim at all, but just shot casually, knocking the members of the secret society to the ground in the chaos.
The same weird bullets that can shatter magic shields.
From time to time, the woman would take out some strange things from her right hand.
A crystal ball that can trigger a fierce fire.
A wooden stick that can create a ground sinkhole.
There were also strange things that could float around and automatically kill enemies, like the jade hairpins used by oriental women. But the problem was that the clothes the woman wore did not have any pockets to store so many things!
And most importantly, she walked leisurely on the battlefield, with a cloud-like veil surrounding her body. It looked light, but even if a secret magician rushed forward desperately, he could not break the veil with his magic sword.
In addition to this woman, there are three warriors who do not emit any breath of life. They are like machine ninjas. They are swift and ruthless.
Holding a high-speed vibrating cutting sword, he flew through the air above the buildings at a speed close to half the speed of sound.
Every time he flashed past a confused warrior, he would chop him down with his sword.
A flesh and blood body could not stop the cutting sword at all. Even if there was energy protection, the magic power on the cutting sword could cut off the attached spirits and was enough to kill the mechanical guards.
Not to mention that violent werewolf...
No one can stop it.
The witch's eyes twitched as she watched the werewolf grab a warrior in each hand, using them as two hammers, roaring and rushing into the crowd, fighting wildly and without any rules.
It reminded the witch of those terrifying god-like invaders recorded in her ancestors' notes when she was a child.
That werewolf can also control the wind.
The blue-gray gale was rolled into a wind shield, trapping the town. No one was allowed to leave until the battle was over!
"Hey! Didn't anyone teach you that daydreaming on the battlefield is a bad habit?"
Jiang Xia's voice, with a strange smile, sounded in the witch's ears in the form of divine thoughts. Witch Asuna reacted quickly and immediately gathered all the energy in her body.
The ink-like black witchcraft, coupled with the entanglement of red and purple energy, quickly wrapped the witch up like a big black cocoon.
It's like absolute defense.
Unfortunately, she shouldn't have done that.
"Hey!"
Gu Miao, who had been lurking here secretly, licked his lips and used the red cloud hand magic tool that was like a glove to mark his own scorching sun seal. The moment the witch completed her defense, the clever girl immediately activated the magic weapon.
The spiritual power in her body was drained at this moment.
But what she got in return was golden sky fire with a temperature of nearly 4000° shooting out from the palm of her hand.
The golden light was like a raging sun. The moment it appeared, it silenced the entire battlefield. Everyone felt the violent, extremely positive, and extremely hot energy.
Finished!
The witch thought desperately.
As expected of our ancestors who repeatedly warned us of the dangers of alien invaders...
She underestimated them.
She made the mistake of underestimating the enemy; she should have united with the stronger branches.
But the big mistake has been made.
