Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 100 Interweaving
At the moment of launching the "Iron Oath", with William as the core, within the range that he could sense, the originally active "creative matter" in the space quickly faded away all the passion to change the world, and instead decayed into cold and empty remnants of reality.
A gust of wind blew, and dense clusters of metal inexplicably fell in the entire hall, looking like a silver rain.
This was the effect of fully deploying the "Oath of Iron and Stone" - creating a wide-area forbidden magic field that directly acted on the creative substance. It could cause the malleable magic power to rapidly decay and die before any spell was formed, turning it into dead metal and a cold world.
This is another way to ban magic that is different from the principle of the Silent Realm.
In fact, William never really understood why Air would give this to him as the so-called "trump card".
You must know that after launching the "Iron Oath", even if he can rely on his etheric power that is far beyond that of ordinary people to perform miracles, the consumption required for casting spells will increase several times, and even some spells with high mana consumption will not be released directly because of this.
This is actually the three-stage debuff that players had to deal with when conquering Ironheart Widowmaker's Void Avatar.
No matter how you look at it, this thing is a trump card for ordinary people to kill magic casters of higher levels - for William himself, it basically has no effect except helping to narrow the gap in strength between himself and others in actual combat.
But there is no way. If William wants to communicate with another timeline, he must start this thing which will bring great burden to himself.
At this moment, some mysterious resonance occurred between the "Iron Stone Oath" and the dead baby that was most likely the source of the Moon of the Hungry Lady. It was difficult for William to describe that feeling using the language system he constructed in the real world, just as he still didn't know how to summarize his almost instinctive perception when casting spells with rigorous logic.
If I had to use a metaphor, it was as if at the moment when the two resonated, he seemed to feel the gray and pale green intertwining, and then something was shattered by these two forces.
Thinking of this, William turned around and looked at the Forest Druyin whom he had hung up before.
At this moment, next to the hung Forest Druyin, stood a man whom he had never seen before.
The man had his back to him, and the black attire looked a bit like a variation of the mass uniform of the Second Order of the Holy Spirit Church.
Before William had the chance to ask who this guy who looked like a senior clergyman of the Holy Spirit Church was, the guy stared at the direction of the gargoyles William had summoned earlier as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and asked William cautiously without even turning his head:
"Hey...can we remove the barrier now?"
After a few seconds, the man continued:
"Answer me. If we want to leave here through the only exit, we must kill this member of the Tribunal. You can't..."
Well, although the other party’s specific identity is still unclear, there is no doubt that he is my enemy.
William thought.
As the man spoke, he reached back and patted William on the shoulder in a familiar manner.
The movement was so smooth that it seemed as if he was photographing a comrade-in-arms to whom he could confidently trust his back.
And William did not stop the other party's behavior - after all, he himself was a little confused about what was happening.
The man in front of him patted his dragon scale shoulder armor, realized something was wrong and turned his head. Then, he showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost. William couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Who did you just say you were going to kill?"
Although William did not deny that he asked this with a bit of joking in mind, his words were not entirely a threat.
Because in his field of vision, the other party at this moment looked as if it was confronting the several gargoyles he had summoned earlier as if it were a formidable enemy.
No matter what, even a blind person would not call those mid-level summons "members of the Tribunal".
The moment the other person saw William, his hand that was patting William's shoulder quickly retracted as if his hand touched the edge of the oven when he was warming himself by the fire. At the same time, the man turned into countless dead leaves and drifted backwards.
After pulling away from the crowd, the dead leaves in the sky began to regroup into human form. Without waiting for his body to completely gather and take shape, the man asked William anxiously and angrily:
"Who are you? When did you come in?"
At this moment, Sigmund was anxious and angry. The barrier reinforced by [Anti-Entropy] was not opened, which meant that the other party could have been hiding in this secret room from the beginning.
In other words, you may have stepped into a trap without even realizing it.
Also, where did the "Fularo" behind me go? It couldn't be that she disappeared in an instant because I turned around, or that she turned into the human male in front of me with Storm Man-like features?
William frowned at this.
Needless to say, the person in front of him replaced the Forest Druin who was tied up by him before. It was the result of the resonance of the "Iron Oath" and another source of the moon, which caused the two timelines to intertwine.
But the other party's behavior at this moment was completely unlike what it should be like when being pulled into another timeline.
Shouldn't a normal person first look around carefully and then ask, "Where is this place?"
Why are you asking me when I came in?
Wait a minute, could it be that...
A possibility emerged in William's mind, and he almost cried out in shock.
What Juamala said about breaking the barrier between the two timelines, so this is the way to break it?
…………
What happened next seemed a little confusing to Nezemal and Remedios.
The bishop named Sigmund suddenly acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He turned into a storm of dead leaves and summoned all kinds of strange phenomena through consecration to wreak havoc in the secret room. In less than a minute, he almost plowed the inside again.
In the end, behind the returnee of the sect's scroll-bearer, there even appeared vaguely a shadowy shadow of a holy spirit.
Making the shadows of the Holy Spirit emerge and awakening their power to directly support the mortals in the world is something that only the "living saints" of the church are qualified to do.
Although the phantom of the Holy Spirit summoned by the bishop in front of her was not as solid as the one summoned by Discipline Markarth in Remedios's memory, and there was only one of them, it was already an extremely terrifying existence.
But if we simply evaluate the combat power, Marcus, who can summon three phantoms of the Holy Spirit, is only slightly weaker than the Chief Judge of the past in the End Watchers. Together with the Demonic Striker Yin Fulin and the Dragon Duar Jin, he is the undisputed first echelon in combat power in the Judgment Seat.
Being able to summon a phantom of the Holy Spirit, no matter how vague the phantom is, its power is already something that cannot be underestimated.
It can be said that in such a lack of space , Remedios estimated that if she fought to the death, she might only have a 60% chance of winning. If the "Fularo" beside the opponent was added, then for her, it would be an absolute headwind battle.
However, even such a strong man suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason and began to attack the surroundings with a look of fear and confusion on his face.
It looked like he was fighting an invisible enemy.
But if there really was an invisible enemy, he was the only one who left traces of destruction in the entire secret room.
"Do you think he suddenly went crazy? I've heard of people in the church who went crazy because they couldn't bear the will of the Holy Spirit..."
After watching this monologue in silence for a long time, Nezemar spoke.
"I don't know...Also, why did Flora suddenly disappear?"
Remedios replied.
"Um, let me ask you...can't you all see it?"
At this time, a timid voice came from the side.
It was Yinlis who had just recovered. The girl was now staring at Sigmund with her eyes covered with white film.
"What did you see?"
Nezemar asked.
"Is it possible that I am the only one who can see that the Chief Judge is fighting with him?"
Yin Lis pointed to an empty place and said this.
After that, she paused as if looking for the right words, and then said:
"I feel like... it's as if they are existing in two different timelines at the same time?"
