…
Ashes found that he couldn't get any faster. .
If it were faster, it would be able to block Maggie's throwing spear.
If he was faster, he would be able to push back the Demon Slayer before Elena's middle claws.
If it were faster, it would be able to block the attack of the madman without falling to the ground.
The magic was running wildly inside her, strengthening every muscle and bone in her, and burning her nerves at the same time. The pain did not weaken her will, but instead made her focus extremely.
If only faster!
Ashes had already entered the new realm where he first fought Demon Slayer, and he was going even further. The flow of time has slowed down in her eyes, and she can clearly see every detail of the battlefield, such as the wear and tear on the throwing bone spear, the puddle under the devil's feet, the faint heave of Maggie's chest, The blood dripping from Yi's body, etc., and reacted one by one. Either swing the sword to kill the enemy, or help.
She felt that the magic power from the outside world was constantly pouring into her body and condensed in various parts of her body. Perhaps this was the promotion mentioned by Agatha. She thought that she might have reached that stage. The condensed magic power not only provided her with powerful strength, but also brought her keen perception, allowing her to face two high-level demons at the same time and still not be defeated.
But that's all.
"when!"
The great sword collided with the Demon Slayer's slashed arm, shooting out a series of sparks.
"What's the matter, is this your fastest speed?" Before Ashes could withdraw his sword and slash back, Ersk had already dodged and flew back, and sneered, "If you only have this level, sooner or later your companion will Die here. Or do you deliberately want to abandon them?"
Ashes turned a deaf ear, turned and chopped off a spear that was shot diagonally at him.
"Don't listen to it fart, this damn monster wants to irritate you and make you lose your mind!" Zoe panted and pressed the remaining bullets into the bullet nest, and she could see that the ammunition in her hand was running out, "If If you chase it out impulsively, you will lose."
"I know." Ash nodded calmly.
The opponent's intention is very obvious. It always looks for the gap in the team to launch a surprise attack. The scattered devils will also follow to cover or attack, and their cooperation is almost without delay. Even in the face of the bombardment of the shotgun, the mad demon who rushed up would not hesitate at all. As long as she is a little distracted, she may be torn apart by the opponent.
The more than 100 subordinates it has hidden should be the most elite troops in the Taquila garrison. If it wasn't for the eight Taquila witches, who were also experienced warriors, they wouldn't be able to survive now.
But there is one thing that the Demon Slayer was right.
This is indeed her fastest speed.
At this point in the battle, every inch of her skin seems to be burning, which is the sign of the magic backlash. For the superhuman who is constantly tempering himself, this is the first time Ashes has encountered such a situation. If she stopped now, turned around to break through the enemy's encirclement, and concentrated on training for a while, when her body fully adapted to the new magic intensity, she would definitely be able to take it to the next level.
But that makes no sense for the predicament.
She couldn't save anyone, she could only save herself.
It is not something that can be done simply by speed.
Probably there is no better way to replace it with the Witch King Akalis, right
You are extraordinary, born with unimaginable potential, but to truly cross that hurdle, you must have a tangible purpose and a strong will. Phyllis's words echoed in her ears. All the supernatural records recorded in the federation were promoted in battle, and those who failed to cross this hurdle all fell to the devil's hands. I hope you can be the former.
It was only at this moment that Ashes realized that the hurdle she had to face was completely different from what she said.
There are two paths before her, one is to live to meet Tilly again, and the other is to go further and reach a new field that no one has ever reached.
The price is to burn herself.
If we desire to use magic to achieve something, it will lead us in that direction. The sound became chaotic and distant, as if it came from the sky, like a whisper, and like a distant thunder.
What exactly do you want
"Look here, fire!"
"boom!"
The sound of the explosion that had been silent for a long time suddenly resounded, accompanied by the screams of the devil!
Ashes followed the prestige and found that the lightning entered the battlefield from behind the encirclement!
The enemy who was attracted by Maisie and was completely defenseless ate a grenade. The madman who bore the brunt of it was instantly blown away by half, and the two standing closer to it were sputtered away. The shrapnel penetrated and instantly lost the ability to fight.
"Ow!" Then a terrifying beast with an amazing size emerged from the forest, ramming and biting at the devils who turned their heads to aim at the lightning, smashing a path.
With the mutual cooperation of the two, the encirclement became chaotic for a while, and the remaining twenty or so mad demons folded five or six in the blink of an eye.
"Hold on, we're here to help!"
"An annoying fly," Demon Slayer frowned, throwing off the confrontation with Ashes, and flew straight towards Lightning and Maisie.
The other high-level devil held a giant tree and threw it at the ashes.
In addition, two bone spears had already flown halfway, one was aimed at Zoe, who was barely standing, and the other was pointed at Andrea, who was lying on the ground.
This is the case again.
left, there is a danger of lightning. If you intercept the Demon Slayer, everyone is in danger.
Since the faster speed is powerless, the only thing that can change all this is the power above the speed.
Seeing the two of them go back and forth, Ashes made a decision.
Maybe this decision has already been made, every day and night spent with the Neverwinter witches, the night he talked to Phyllis, or when Tilly said, "I prefer to see the Avengers. The way you are now", the thought already exists.
"Sorry, Tilly."
Ashes whispered, and then took that step.
What exactly do you want
I want to protect them.
In an instant, she "sees" a sea of surging magic power, the surging power contained in it is difficult to describe in words, but under the torrent, there seem to be countless whispers and stares hidden.
Ashes let go of the restriction and fully embraced it.
…
In the middle of the flight, Ersruk suddenly had a big alarm bell in his heart.
It turned its head sharply, and found that the superhuman raised her great sword, pointing straight to the sky, and the blade seemed to have golden light flowing.
The moment it saw that stream of light, it felt that its body had become inexplicably slow, as if it had fallen into a quagmire.
Not just it.
Even the flow of surrounding air is thickened.
It was not the first time that Ersruk had seen such a scene, but at this moment, it gave rise to an unbelievable feeling.
how can that be
That is not the power caused by the magic stone, but from her own!
It struggled to raise its head, wishing it was thinking in the wrong direction, but the golden electric light from the tumbling dome shattered its last chance. Judging from the strength of the magic power, the power of this blow was even higher than that of the red-haired witch.
Evasion is impossible.
If you can't stop it, you will die.
Realizing this, Ersruk used all his strength to open the interference field!
At the same time, the opponent also swung the big sword
The dazzling electric light pierced the sky in an instant, illuminating the entire earth.
…
In the dead silence, Lan suddenly opened his eyes.
She stood up from her seat, avoiding the still people, and walked to the window step by step.
The world has not yet awakened, and everything remains at the moment when time freezes, whether it is champagne poured out of a bottle or raindrops falling from the window. They are suspended in the air, like a stroke in the background of a dinner party picture.
Where even time is stagnant, there should be no sound.
But in the dark night, there was a faint sound of thunder.
She pushed open the window and stared at the distant sky in a trance, without saying a word for a long time.
…
When the lightning recovered from the dazzling electric light, he was surprised to find that the open space where there was a fierce battle just now had turned into a scorched earth. All the trees around were smoky trunks, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
What the hell happened just now
She only remembered that a mad demon hiding behind a tree suddenly rushed towards her, and she put all her attention on the demon slayer, and when she realized it was close at hand. In desperation, she had to throw the launch tube at the opponent, hoping to stop the enemy, and then a golden light instantly enveloped her.
But now, apart from the two high-level devils, the other enemies on the opposite side of the clearing have disappeared.
Among them, the big man who was transformed from the lord of hell was lying on the ground, his body was burned by the high temperature, and the rough skin was cracked inch by inch, and it seemed that there was only one breath left.
The Demon Slayer didn't look much better, half of its body completely disappeared, the dark black light wriggled in the wound, and it stood motionless. But for some reason, Lightning still felt a trace of uncontrollable fear.
By the way... Ashes!
She hurriedly looked towards the center of the clearing, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The familiar figure still stood upright with a sword, blocking everyone behind him.
"Are you alright?" Lightning flew to Ashes and was interrupted by the other party's low drink before he could finish speaking.
"Get everyone out of here, the farther away the better!"
"Eh?"
"Listen to me, leave this to me before I can control my power!"
There was an unquestionable majesty in Ashes' tone, which made Lightning swallow the words he wanted to ask again. It turned out that they would only hinder her performance here. Looking at each other's pair of golden eyes that seemed to be burning, at least at this moment, she vaguely understood the meaning of thunder from the sky.
Lightning turned Maisie back into a terrifying beast form and put everyone on her back. Although she couldn't carry so many people to fly, she still had no problem running.
After a while, the two left the clearing and headed into the woods.
After running for a few hundred meters, Maisie couldn't help but say, "Why can the ashes trigger the divine will, we don't carry the divine will..."
"I don't know why, but one thing is certain." Lightning paused and clenched her fists excitedly, "She has become above the extraordinary!"
