Chapter 456 "0-09·Hunger" and "Light"
Countless shadows almost covered all vision...
Shana, who had experience fighting it, knew very well that once covered by it, the body would most likely be controlled...
As for its purpose, Shana was not completely ignorant.
After all, this thing wanted to take away her eyes, or more precisely, it wanted to gain her unified understanding of the concepts of "vision", "observation", "seeing", etc.
In reality, it is actually classified as "eyes".
Of course, there was one thing she wasn't sure about, but she guessed it was related to her duties.
But I can’t think about these things right now…
As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Shana took action at the same time. Hundreds of multi-faceted irregular diamond-shaped crystals appeared around her. These crystals rotated rapidly, condensing and scattering the pale light.
Beams of extremely white light, like lasers, instantly cut through the shadows wherever they passed.
Even the surrounding earth was melted by the heat.
The massive offensive created by the "Shadow Tree" carriers was directly cut off...
Seeing this, she seized the opportunity, her figure turned into a stream of light, and instantly appeared thousands of meters away, directly escaping the attack range.
However, just when he had just escaped, he paused for a moment and was about to continue escaping.
Several lightning bolts as big as eaves fell on Shana like divine hammers, destroying everything.
Although he was blocked by the light shield on her body at the critical moment, he still managed to stop her.
“Ahem…”
Shana pursed her pale lips, coughed twice, and then rolled her throat to swallow the blood that was rising up.
The previous blow shattered many of her bones and damaged some of her internal organs.
Moreover, she was not given any extra breathing space...
Dozens of arrows came flying with strong wind and lightning.
Its speed is extremely fast...
In addition, there is a bronze gate full of mysterious patterns, also outlined not far away.
Something terrifying was staring at her through the door...
"Thunder Hunter, and the Gate to the Abyss..."
Shana tilted her head, and an exquisite gold earring on her right earlobe suddenly evaporated, emitting a blazing white light...
"Be careful, don't observe..." someone exclaimed in the distance.
But before he finished speaking, a burst of strong white light instantly enveloped the entire surrounding area...
The light lasted less than a second.
However, all the ambushers who shot the arrows, whether they closed their eyes or not, all accepted the cleansing effect of the pale light, and along with the vitality of their souls and flesh and blood, they were completely purified without a trace of retention...
Then one by one they collapsed and died completely.
In addition, the arrows they had just shot seemed to be wiped out by the white light due to the extraordinary blessing from above, causing them to become ordinary arrows and fall to the ground.
At the same time, the bronze door that was about to take shape was directly scrapped and exploded into fireworks in the air.
However, Shana did not pay much attention to these situations. She just quickly broke through to the distance while the strong light was flashing.
Once we are surrounded by these people, more and more enemies will arrive.
Under such heavy siege, there is basically no way to escape.
And what bothered her most was that there was a group of key guys watching in secret and not taking any action.
These people were like watching injured prey, constantly following her and chasing her away, hoping that she would exhaust herself before attacking again...
Compared with those who have already taken action, these are the parts that give Shana the most headaches.
"We have to let them out. We can't keep this situation going."
In the flowing light, Shana suddenly changed direction and no longer tried to escape to the outside world, but went deeper into the "Magic Mist Disaster".
Deep within the calamity, there exists a terrifying existence known as the "Demon Mist Disaster"...
Those things, even the so-called great beings, are unwilling to provoke, because they have a certain natural restraint towards other gods besides some churches such as the "Light Church"...
Therefore, if you see her trying to escape into the depths and throw herself into those disasters, you must be determined to die rather than let these beings succeed.
Then the enemies hiding in the dark will surely be unable to sit still...
really……
Not long after she made this choice, some people seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the direction of her actions.
Some lives began to feel impatient and took action.
Under a certain area, there are a large number of monsters with limbs stitched together and countless human faces, and all the faces on their bodies have open mouths.
Suddenly...
As Shana was walking, she suddenly felt a terrifying soul energy shock wave passing by rapidly.
Under its interference, the extraordinary power in her body became briefly unstable. Although this instability did not cause her much harm, it forced her to exit the simple photochemical state and stop moving.
Seeing this, the "human body stitching monster" did not immediately step forward to attack, but instead quickly hid.
He knew very well that this powerful prey was far from exhausted...
You have to wait before you can grab the spoils you want from among the jackals, tigers and leopards.
At the same time, the moment Shana paused, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and immediately dodged...
"call out."
A flash of cold light passed by...
In an instant, Shana's left hand was cut off from the arm, and blood spurted out.
But at the same time, she saw the attacker, a knight clad in jet-black armor and wrapped in a mass of cloth. On his head was a crown engraved with four diamonds...
"The Knight of the Four Virtues... the Evil Spirit."
When Shana saw it, a related memory flashed through her mind at super fast speed.
Decades before she was born, there was a Knight of Virtue who was extremely talented and already possessed four virtues. He was killed by an unknown heretic force during an attack.
This incident caused quite a stir.
Unfortunately, no matter how much force the Knight Kingdom sent, they were unable to find the enemy.
Even the body couldn't be retrieved.
I heard that there were rumors on the black market that this knight's internal organs were being sold as magical materials...
Unexpectedly, she actually saw it this time.
And it looks like it has been transformed into some kind of evil puppet by someone.
Its internal organs have obviously been hollowed out and filled with a large amount of mystical materials to ensure its combat power and characteristics.
Feel the intense pain above.
Shana's eyes, glowing white, revealed a trace of sadness...
It was because of this knight, and also because of every enemy of the same kind that he was currently surrounded and suppressed—
The shadow of the "Magic Mist Disaster" has enveloped the entire world.
However, people still cannot unite to fight the future together...
While he was thinking, the knight disappeared again, and his presence was greatly weakened.
only……
It meant nothing to her.
Once discovered in front of her, it would be impossible to hide again. She could clearly see that the puppet was coming like a ghost and trying to drag her into some kind of "fair and just" 1V1 battle.
However, Shana did not move, but waved her right hand and grabbed her severed hand which was still warm and had not fallen to the ground.
Then she looked towards an area that seemed empty.
Then, he made a javelin-throwing gesture and threw the severed hand out in an instant...
During this process, the left hand emitted strong light, stretched and lengthened, and finally turned into a spear when it was released.
After a flash of light...
A figure was directly nailed to death in a cave dozens of kilometers away, and died instantly after being pierced.
At the same time, the evil spirit puppet attacking Shana from the side also stopped moving...
But she did not take it lightly.
Because, after a brief pause, the knight puppet that had lost control suddenly had its shadow spread out and then suddenly began to move, as if it was under control again.
However, at the same time, Shana's figure flashed and appeared in front of the evil puppet.
The not-so-big right hand grabbed his face...
Beams of light flowed down the arms and into the evil puppet.
Immediately...
The evil spirit that had seemed to be coming back to life fell to its knees, completely destroyed.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Waves of screams came from the shadows under the evil spirit.
These shadows that had been parasitic in it for unknown reasons quickly broke away from the evil spirits, split into several human figures, and stood up on the ground.
Shana wasn't surprised by this. Her icy blue eyes scanned these "Shadow Tree Mothers" without any emotion, or rather, the guys who claimed to be believers of the "Tree of True Knowledge"...
At the broken part of her left arm, a large number of light particles flew in and condensed, transforming into a new hand.
Up ahead, the heretics suppressed their emotions, their expressions instantly becoming devout and fanatical, and they spoke simultaneously...
"You are now so weak that you can't even display your mythical form..."
"The 'Holy Tree' gave me a revelation. It mercifully told me that you now have one more chance to offer your eyes as a sacrifice to us..."
"Then not only will we not attack you, we will also help you escape from here..."
"You should know that your current situation is almost fatal. Choosing us is your only chance."
"This is a kind expression from a great being. I hope you will cherish His kindness and not refuse it..."
“…”
However, before all the wills were conveyed, a burst of messy and dense beams of light shot out, and all the figures were instantly cut into pieces in the sky.
Regarding the unrealistic demands made by these heretical forces.
Shana didn't even think about it.
After dealing with this group of people, she took a step and wanted to move, but she felt severe pain all over her body.
Blood couldn't be restrained from gushing out...
In just this brief hesitation, she saw a piece of land that looked like a small mountain breaking through the fog and coming towards her.
“Boom!”
The earth shook, smoke and dust rose into the sky, countless explosions occurred, and cracks in the ground spread out in all directions...
But in the midst of this, a large amount of light flew out and condensed into the light and shadow of Shana.
"Cooperate with us, submit to us, and open that closed door..." Another group of heretic forces appeared. They were all tall, and the tallest one was even over eight meters tall. Although they had white hair and old faces, they were muscular and had a strong aura.
"Cult of the God of War, it seems you have chosen to betray the joint contract. Did your actions receive a signal from your Patriarch?"
Shana raised her head and looked up at the tall man, her expression unchanged, but she spoke rarely.
"Patriarch? No, your elder is far too weak and unfit to lead the order. Moreover, what they believe in is nothing more than a false God of War, a false human god who responds like a machine, similar to the gods of other churches..."
"As for us, once we rescue the real God of War, everyone will understand the truth..."
"All churches will understand that what they believe in now is nothing more than a false god! The true God is currently suffering behind that door..."
The eight-meter-tall, giant-like white-haired old man spoke with a voice as loud as thunder, but halfway through, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He raised the huge sword, which was larger and heavier than his body, and swung it towards the opponent...
"Shana" remained motionless, and after being hit by the giant sword, she dissipated and disappeared.
This is nothing more than a false visual illusion !
Deceived, he turned red, his veins exposed, and went into a state of violent rage.
…
Shana didn't pay much attention to the traitors from the God of War Cult who had strong limbs but simple minds.
After leaving this place for quite a distance, she suffered several rounds of intensive attacks, and suddenly, as if exhausted, she withdrew from the light and shadow state...
Then he fell from a high altitude like a plane crash and rolled on the ground for more than ten times.
Then, Shana, covered in dust and with her hair disheveled, stood up in a somewhat embarrassed manner. She immediately reached out and pulled out the cursed dagger that had pierced her neck.
Then repel all the attacks, whether overt or covert, before they arrive.
But now, she seemed to be exhausted and could no longer enter the photochemical state to escape from here...
And it is absolutely impossible to escape with normal physical speed.
…
"The time has finally come, it's time to take action."
In the distance, a group of people in red clothes saw this scene and immediately stopped hesitating. They used their left and right hands to pierce their belly buttons and pulled them hard to the sides...
With a "whoosh", a vertical crack was torn in the stomach.
From the crack, thick blue-black smoke gushed out, and the smoke merged in mid-air...
It turned into a slightly transparent, dark blue hand with a stone texture, and a mouth on the palm.
And, the moment it appeared...
The entire venue suddenly became quiet.
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire place...
Whether in the open or in the dark, even the members of the Church of the God of War, whose bodies were red and furious just now, stopped and calmed down when they saw this not-so-big arm...
Even a little hungry.
Almost everyone clearly realizes that this... is not something that can be faced easily.
"'hunger'……"
When Shana looked at this thing, she immediately recalled the terrifying sense of oppression she had felt around Helena.
I also recalled some related information I learned from communicating with Colin.
At the same time, she also knew that the most dangerous group hiding behind the pursuit had finally taken action.
“Ding ding ding…”
The dark blue arms swung like those of a stone statue.
This sculpture was slightly different from the one Colin had seen. It had a large number of mysterious iron chains and sealed yellow talismans.
Obviously, it is in a state of strong restriction.
But even so, the power it now displayed still made everyone in the field feel uneasy.
Some people even feel a little desperate in the face of such a terrifying existence.
There is no way to reap the fruits of victory...
However, ignoring their thoughts, the "Hungry" arm appeared without stopping for long before immediately grabbing towards Shana...
Its speed seems slow, but it seems to ignore spatial distance.
Even Shana couldn't help feeling a little suffocated when she saw the big hand opening its mouth and grabbing towards her.
but……
Before the big blue-black hand could grab her.
A large number of attacks originally aimed at her all fell on this big hand.
"Stop Him! We can't let these foreign gods infringe upon our interests! The Saint belongs to us!"
"We fought so hard to achieve this, and we must not give this victory to outsiders!"
I don't know which heretical force issued a spiritual shock like a roar, calling on everyone to unite.
In an instant, more power attacked the blue-black arm.
But at the same time...
While the blue-black arm was trying to grab its target, it grew countless mouths of different sizes. When these mouths, which were as densely packed as the pores on the arm, opened, they immediately spewed out a large amount of blue-black fog.
Everything that came into contact with the thick fog quickly melted and disappeared, as if corroded by strong acid...
They are like digestive juices, devouring all incoming attacks.
Then, despite the attacks, he stretched out his arms and grabbed the ball of light.
After shattering the obstructing light shield with one bite, it opened its bloody mouth and swooped down on the exhausted glowing figure, ready to devour all the space within a radius of several kilometers...
A strong light emerged in Shana's eyes.
However, just when she was about to stop hiding and fight to the end, she suddenly felt the temperature at the scene rise rapidly.
This feeling is very familiar...
Then, in her surprised eyes.
A bright orange-red fireball fell from the sky.
