As an explorer member of the Secret Society, Bai Ya has traveled between various kingdoms and experienced many actual combats in her life.
But this was the first time in all the actual combat that Bai Ya encountered a monster that could eat her magic attacks!
"Bai Ya, your lightness technique is about to disappear!"
A three-eyed raven circled beside the white crow. This psychic crow could speak human language, but only spellcasters who had learned specific magic could understand its words.
"I know."
Bai Ya stepped on a piece of stone from a collapsed building. The moment she jumped up, she raised her hand and grabbed the claw of the three-eyed raven beside her.
The raven spread its wings, which were as long as a human arm, and flapped them, pulling the white crow onto a building beside the street.
Bai Ya had just stood firm on the building when the blood crystal beast that had been chasing her suddenly crashed into the building under her feet.
The blood crystal beasts summoned by the traitor Pesetto were all water creatures. The blood crystal beast chasing the White Crow looked like a crocodile, and it was even covered with hard red scales.
The building showed signs of collapse under the impact of the blood crystal beast... Bai Ya couldn't even stand firmly on the building under the impact, and he slipped fatally and fell into the crocodile's mouth.
When she wanted to cast a defensive magic the moment she fell, she found that the time of falling was too short for her to cast the magic.
Bai Ya closed her eyes and welcomed the arrival of fate, but the expected pain of being bitten in half by the blood crystal beast did not come. Instead, she felt a burning pain as her face hit the ground, and a feeling of hot liquid on her cheeks.
The blood crystal beast didn't eat her? Bai Ya opened her eyes and saw that the blood crystal beast that had attacked her with its bloody mouth had turned into a ball of meat paste and melted on the ground.
The liquid on her cheek was the remaining blood stain of the blood crystal beast.
"Who saved me?" The white crow immediately wiped the blood off his cheek and asked the three-eyed raven hovering beside him.
"I don't know. When you were about to become this monster's lunch, a big hole suddenly appeared on its head. It seemed like it was pierced by a sword falling from the sky, but I couldn't see any sword, nor could I sense any magic." The three-eyed raven said, stopping on the white crow's shoulder.
"Falling from the sky?" Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, and then she heard the roars of several blood crystal beasts.
Only then did Bai Ya remember that the city of Gemansis was suffering from the disaster of blood crystal beasts, and she had no time to be in a daze.
Bai Ya cast a lightness spell on himself again and ran quickly towards the other side where the blood crystal beast was roaring.
The guards of the secret society were fighting against the blood crystal beasts, and she couldn't just sit there and wait to die... When Bai Ya arrived at the location of the blood crystal beasts, she saw that her two colleagues were completely surrounded by several blood crystal beasts.
Before the blood crystal beasts could take a step and rush towards their prey, the heads of some of the larger ones exploded instantly, and the bodies of the slightly smaller ones were completely split in half.
"Bai... Bai Ya? Is this the magic you cast?" The two spellcasters were frightened by the sudden 'self-explosion' of the blood crystal beast in front of them. They instinctively turned their eyes to the Bai Ya who had just arrived here.
"This isn't magic...it's...another weapon."
Bai Ya heard the gunshots clearly at the moment when the group of blood crystal beasts were killed. She would never forget this sound. She had been to the Tianchao camp when she was looking for Charlotte.
The experience in the camp made Bai Ya experience for the first time what it felt like to feel powerless.
"Another weapon? Golem?" One of the spellcasters had already picked up a spear that had fallen to the ground.
Magic has no effect on blood crystal beasts. The most efficient way to kill them is to attach magic power to a spear and throw it at the blood crystal beasts.
"firearms."
Bai Ya suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky. She caught the source of the gunshot, which was at the top of the Tower of Sages.
"Fish, take me to the roof." White Crow called out the name of the three-eyed raven he raised, and the raven flapped its wings and brought White Crow to the tallest building in the area.
After arriving at this building, Bai Ya saw the battle situation around him clearly. This was the alchemy workshop area of Gemansis City. The spellcasters in Gemansis City were severely injured by the blood crystal beasts that suddenly appeared.
But now Bai Ya could no longer see any blood crystal beasts within his sight. Even if one suddenly appeared, its body or head would instantly explode and turn into meat paste.
Just as the three-eyed raven she raised said, it seemed as if thousands of spears floating in the sky suddenly fell down and pierced the blood crystal beasts.
… … …
The view from the Sage's Tower was even clearer, and the Stone Sage was almost going deaf from the sound of gunfire coming from Charlotte's portal.
But the Sage of Stone was extremely excited when he heard the gunshots that made him deaf, because every time a gunshot was heard, a blood crystal beast on the ground would die suddenly.
There were about a thousand blood crystal beasts that attacked the city of Gemansis. With the long-range support of Lu City, the spellcasters relied on their own strength to completely eliminate nearly half of the blood crystal beasts.
Finally, when the last blood crystal beast was turned into a pulp by a spellcaster's staff, cheers of celebration were heard throughout the city of Gemansis.
The portal controlled by Charlotte also floated back to the upper floors of the Sage's Tower.
"Thank you for your help." The Sage of Stone was the first to come forward to thank Lu Cheng.
"Our assistance is not free. I helped you kill a total of 372 blood crystal beasts and emptied two ammunition boxes of bullets. The two weapons I used may also need to replace some parts before they can be used."
After watching the last blood crystal beast die under the piercing blow of a spellcaster's staff, Lu Cheng could clearly feel his arm becoming so sore that it was numb.
The barrel of the AMR-2 sniper rifle in his hand was so hot that it could be used to barbecue.
This was the result of Lu Cheng replacing a new AMR-2 sniper rifle and taking turns shooting with the two guns.
"That's enough of my thanks, I think we can talk about cooperation now."
The Shadow Sage intervened in the conversation at this time. As the keeper of the Three-Eyed Raven, she had a much longer vision than the Stone Sage...
If most people in the Secret Society were still considering it when Master Winnie proposed the intention to communicate with the Celestial Empire, the power demonstrated by Lu Cheng just now was enough for the sages of the Secret Society to force their spellcasters to establish cooperation with the Celestial Empire.
"Really? Then the first step is to start with sharing information. I heard from your traitor that... you seem to have the ability to control the blood crystal beast? Why don't you use it in this battle?" Lu Cheng asked a fatal question right from the start. The method that Peseto used to control the blood crystal beast did not come from anyone, but from the Gemansis Secret Society.
"I'm afraid this is our secret."
When the Shadow Sage heard Lu Cheng's question, the expression on his face became solemn.
"I can tell you this information." Master Baierwok suddenly spoke at this time. "But I also want to ask you something."
After hearing what Byerwok said, the Shadow Sage could only shut up and retreat behind the scenes.
"What's the matter?" Lu Cheng asked.
"The weapon you used just now was something called a gun?"
Baierwok's words made Lu Cheng stunned for a moment. The reason for his stunnedness was not that Baierwok knew about weapons such as guns, but that Baierwok did not speak the common language of the alien world, but Chinese, and with a bit of Northeastern accent.
"It is indeed a gun, a sniper rifle, but I am curious who taught you this language?" Lu Cheng responded to him, also in Chinese.
"No one taught me this, this is my mother tongue... Is the power of guns so terrible? I have another question, can you tell me whether we have won the war or are we still fighting?"
When Bayerwock said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the portal. At this moment, Lu Cheng finally saw his face under the top hat. Unlike Charlotte's light golden hair and pupils, his pupils and hair were pure black.
Lu Cheng instantly understood what the war that Bayerwok was referring to was. The moment he understood it, Lu Cheng stood up straight and even his tone became extremely serious.
"Of course we won. We have won for seventy-four years. Now no one on earth dares to bully us anymore," said Lu Cheng.
Hearing this, Byrwok lowered his head again, the shadow of his top hat blocking his eyes, but every sage in the Tower of Sages could hear the sobbing of the greatest spellcaster of the Gemansis Arcanum.
