Chapter 1471 Airborne! Fierce Battle in the 4 Palaces! (2 in 1)
Chapter 1471 Airborne! Fierce Battle in Four Palaces! (Two in One)
The divisions of the Roman Empire's palace complex in this Great Sword world are slightly different.
In the center is the Domitian Palace, which covers the largest area and has the most complete palace complex.
To the east is the Diocletian's Palace, whose main function is to serve as the royal mausoleum and internal temple of the royal family, but there are also various palaces for people to live in.
To the south is the Palace of Severus, close to the ancient Appian Way, with many tall arch bridges and a triumphal arch.
It is equivalent to a facade that displays the glory of Rome to the outside world, and it is also the place where the current Roman emperor lives.
To the west is Caligula's Palace, with many exquisite courtyards, gardens, and a large dining room that can accommodate five long tables.
It is mainly used to host banquets for distinguished guests or to hold large-scale events.
In general, the entire Palatine Hill belonged to the Roman Imperial Palace and had different functions.
However, it has been secretly occupied by evil dragons and dragon descendants for more than a hundred years.
All the lively activities disappeared, and the atmosphere here became cold and terrifying.
Only the Palazzo Severus is slightly more popular and relaxed because it is the emperor's residence.
On the surface, the Queen of Fafhena gave him a certain degree of decency and dignity, and prohibited the Dragonborn and the Awakened from disturbing the Palace of Severus.
But that's all
As the An-225 transport plane circled in the night sky.
One after another, figures, some using parachutes and some relying on their own abilities, rushed towards the target palace at high speed according to predetermined groups.
Air raids are a form of warfare that most people in this world have never heard of or seen.
Because even among the awakened ones, 99% of them do not have the ability to fly, let alone normal humans.
This situation ensured that their airborne landing process was not blocked at all.
Otherwise, let's switch to a world with a mature air defense system.
Milia, Galadilla and others rely on parachutes, while Vittorio, Basque Gran and others ride on the back of the flying dragon summoned by Giulio.
It is impossible to be so easy now that we are facing attacks from various anti-aircraft weapons.
【boom! 】
To the west, the ceiling of Caligula's Palace was pierced by a bolt of blue lightning that came from the sky.
The bright electric light made the hall, which was only illuminated by a few torches on the wall, look as bright as day.
Xiao Ai is the fastest.
So even if Steve Gus jumped out of the plane first, he still caught up with him and landed first.
He even left behind his teammates Balanta, Taeko and Armstrong.
Logically, this is wrong and he should act with his teammates.
But Xiao Ai didn't care about it.
He wanted to see the difference between this so-called descendant of the dragon and the awakened one as soon as possible.
It would be best to resolve it as soon as possible, and then go to the central Dumishan Palace to see the power of the demon dragon.
really.
Xiao Ai made such a big noise that she soon attracted a lot of malicious glances.
He glanced at the monsters in front and behind him. Most of them were ordinary awakeners, and their auras were strong and weak.
But he immediately noticed that behind each group of awakened people, there was a taller figure with a similar appearance.
Moreover, their aura was much stronger than that of Histria and Cassandra whom they had met at the Great Sword Organization headquarters before.
Xiao Ai is referring to Histria and Cassandra, who have the power of "Abyssmen" after awakening.
"Is this the descendant of the dragon? It looks interesting~"
Facing dozens of awakened people and two descendants of dragons surrounding them from the front and back.
Xiao Ai, whose whole body was flashing with electric light and whose aura was bursting, was not afraid at all. Instead, a smile full of fighting spirit appeared on his face.
He did feel the pressure, but it was this pressure that made his blood boil.
"bring it on!"
"Start the fight, you monsters!"
This sturdy man who was supposed to be the 'Fourth Raikage', looked straight ahead at the descendant of the dragon with a look of doubt and let out a deafening roar on the spot.
"Hell Thrust! Four Pen Hands!"
【boom----】
With a loud thunder, Xiao Ai instantly turned into a lightning spear and rushed towards the camp where the awakened ones were gathered, pointing directly at the location of the descendants of the dragon.
"Stop him!"
"Protect Lord Gilles!"
"Damn, this human can actually control lightning and turn into lightning?"
"Kill him!"
In an instant, the dazzling lightning shot through the chest of the first awakener.
Blood splattered into the air under the violent force, and the bloody smell immediately filled the hall.
however.
It would be difficult for him alone to break through the many awakened people who were ready to fight.
The two descendants of the dragon did not rush to attack, but patiently observed Xiao Ai's abilities.
After all, it was the first time for them to see humans possess such strange power, so they were all seriously thinking about how to deal with Xiao Ai.
The descendants of dragons are creatures born from demon dragons and humans.
Therefore, they possess normal human intelligence and wisdom, and even their thoughts are not as extreme as those of the awakened ones.
This is because the awakened ones are the product of having their consciousness severely affected by demonic power, and even having their thoughts distorted.
However, the descendants of dragons are born with magical powers, so these problems do not exist at all.
They are just another normal intelligent race.
Their personalities may be different, but they are not extreme enough to lose their reason.
According to the world of "Inuyasha", Dragonborn are half-demons, and those who are awakened are humans who have been forcibly transformed into demons.
However, this does not have that much impact on strength.
Among the awakened ones, there are also extremely powerful "Abyss Ones" such as Isli and Livlu, who are strong enough to fight against the descendants of dragons on the battlefield.
At most, the descendants of dragons are more likely to possess the strength of "Abyss".
After a while.
From the hole that Xiao Ai had knocked open before, a crackling flash of lightning fell down and tore open the chest of an awakened person.
However, the color of this electric light is different from Xiao Ai's color.
It's silvery white!
The awakened ones and dragonborns around took a closer look.
It turned out to be a humanoid white tiger with silver electricity wrapped all over its body, snow-white fur, scarlet eyes, running upright at high speed, and wearing human clothes!
They just felt that they had opened their eyes today.
It’s not enough that there are humans who can control thunder and lightning, now here comes a white tiger who can control thunder and lightning!
And this white tiger is none other than Balanta, a gold-level duelist from the Fur Tribe, who was invited by the Adventurer's Association.
He was worried that he would not be able to see the moon once he entered the temple.
Before landing, he raised his head and used the moonlight to enter the 'Moon Lion Form' and reach his strongest state.
In a blink of an eye, two flashes of lightning, one blue and one silver, appeared in the dim Caligula Palace, fighting fiercely with dozens of strange-looking awakened people.
The strength of these awakened ones is not weak.
Since the head is the only fatal part, you only need to protect that one place. Other parts can heal quickly even if they are damaged.
In addition, they had the advantage in numbers, and the space inside the hall was not very wide, so they cooperated with each other to chase and intercept Xiao Ai and Balanta.
But what they didn't expect was that after the 'Lightning White Tiger', two more figures fell out of the hole.
The black-haired girl Taeko is holding the mass-produced servant tool 'Kiri Ichimonji'.
And the "Armistic Alchemist" Armstrong, who took off his shirt at some point, exposing his muscular chest muscles!
【Swish, swish, swish! 】
Rapid sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and Miaozi turned into an elusive afterimage, passing through the two awakeners at high speed.
next second.
The arms and legs of the awakened ones actually fell to the ground along the smooth cuts.
This startled them.
"Okay! So fast!"
"But this level of injury is... not good enough for us, huh?"
As the Awakened One spoke, his expression became strange.
Because it found that even if it gathered its demonic power on its broken arms and legs, it could not grow flesh and bones as smoothly as before.
It was as if there was a strange force at the cut that prevented the demonic power from regenerating its hands and feet.
This caused the two awakened ones to fall to the ground in panic.
"How is this going!"
"Ahhh, my body can't recover!"
"It's that knife! There's something wrong with her knife!"
They let out screams of terror and shrill warnings.
"what?!"
The faces of the awakened people around who heard this suddenly changed.
The expressions of the two descendants of the dragon who had not yet taken action also became serious.
A knife that can stop the body from regenerating!
But before they could recover from their shock.
【boom----】
Armstrong attracted the attention of the whole audience with a heavy punch to the ground and a passionate shout.
"Let me show you!"
"The artistic alchemy method passed down from generation to generation in the Armstrong family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of golden lightning burst out at the moment he punched the ground. At the same time, sharp spikes broke through the ground and swept in several awakened people more than ten meters away.
In an instant, the spikes pierced into their bodies, causing severe pain.
But what frightened them were the slithering electric snakes.
These golden electric snakes will decompose flesh and blood into blood mist the moment they touch the body.
"What the hell, lightning again!"
"This time it's golden, and it's a very strange lightning!"
The Awakened have developed a fear of lightning.
Why is this power, which should be controlled by gods, possessed by these humans?
"Destruction is hidden in creation, and destruction leads to creation. This is the law of the universe!"
Armstrong retracted his right fist.
While posing in various bodybuilding poses in front of these awakened ones and dragonborns, he told them his understanding of alchemy.
At this moment, in the dim palace, it seemed as if a ray of holy light was shining down from the air above his head.
It made his muscles shine, and the Awakened and Dragonborn were speechless.
What is this human doing?
the other side.
Located in the Diocletian's Palace on the east side.
Cyrus, who was wearing the imperial armor "Devil Haunted", was wearing a red cloak.
After the Red-backed Shrike transformation, the blade of the sword turned scarlet and the blade was silver-white.
He also took the lead in rushing into the hall and fought with the attacking awakened ones.
It can be seen that compared to the "Top 100 Tournament", both his speed and strength have improved a lot.
This is not only the amplifying effect of "Haunted by Evil Spirits", but also the recent result of his hard training.
Plus the blessing of Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Even if surrounded by dozens of awakened ones, he can still fight against them.
Not to mention that 'Evil Ghost' also has the ability to become invisible at any time!
This made Cyrus' figure appear elusive as he moved at high speed, causing the dragonborns hiding behind and observing to frown.
Because they could not sense Cyrus's presence.
Of course. That's an imperial weapon, a secret treasure from another world!
On the contrary, the ninjas' invisibility skills would probably be difficult to escape the perception of these dragonborns.
Driven by the crisis, the two dragonborns gathered together, standing back to back in tacit understanding, and kept vigilant of their surroundings.
They have realized that the group of awakened people around them are not reliable at all, and Cyrus' main target must be themselves.
Indeed, the awakened people at the scene were completely confused.
Every time Cyrus came out of invisibility, he would chop off a head, and with miraculous evasive movements, he would avoid all kinds of attacks coming from all directions, and then he would become invisible again and disappear into thin air.
This made them furious and terrified.
After all, no one knows if they will be the next target of the other party.
Until Princess Yami, Roy Mustang, who was known as the 'Flame Alchemist', and another 'B-Class Wizard' member arrived.
This gave this group of awakened people someone to vent their fear and madness on.
Now, no matter who I fight with, as long as I can see them or touch them, it's fine!
"Night Breeze."
however.
First, Ye Jianji swung her sword and launched a glowing flying slash, instantly cutting several awakened people into pieces of meat on the ground.
Then Roy Mustang snapped his fingers with his white-gloved right hand.
A raging wave of high-temperature fire erupted out of nowhere in front of him, submerging an area.
Finally, the wizard raised the magic wand inlaid with the "Wind Stone".
A violent gust of wind was released from a circle of gorgeous green magic circle, blowing away a group of awakened people who were rushing towards them.
At the same time, it further enhances the flame created by Roy Mustang using alchemy.
Now all the awakened people and dragonborns present immediately realized that these three humans were not easy to deal with.
But they couldn't figure out why they had these strange powers.
This doesn't seem like something that demonic power can do at all!
That's right.
This is also the question that the awakened and dragonborn in the Verus Palace in the south want to ask loudly.
What exactly is that giant who is nearly four meters tall, taller than many awakened ones, and has a pair of wings on his back that can fly?
The key is the incredible power.
One punch can blow up the body of an awakened one!
It literally exploded.
There was also the swordsman who was short in stature, but could create a thick fog with a swing of his sword and had already cut off the heads of several awakened ones.
And there is a man in white hiding in the thick fog. If he encounters an awakened person, that awakened person will instantly explode and die!
The description of man in white is really appropriate.
Because the other person was dressed in white from head to toe.
White hat, white suit, white shirt, white leather boots, white socks, white gloves.
No one knows when this senior alchemist, Zolph J. Kimblee, nicknamed 'Red Lotus', changed his clothes.
Obviously, it was the military uniform of the Alkeme Kingdom before.
But his hands, which would explode at the slightest touch, had obviously caused fear among the awakened ones.
Especially when combined with Toru Muichiro's Kasumi's Breath, the sense of oppression is maximized.
at the same time.
The B-class wizard from the Magician's Association, who was so aloof that he didn't want to reveal his name, followed behind Captain Urouge and continuously released various lightning magics from the magic circle in front of his wand.
From time to time, a magic barrier is created to block the approaching awakeners.
However, the awakened people and dragonborns in the Tiberius Palace in the north said there was nothing strange.
Because the eight people who appeared in front of them, Milia, Tabatha, Cynthia, Yuma, Galadilla, Divi, Helen, and Audrey, were the most authentic greatsword warriors.
The magical aura on them makes the dragonborn and awakened people here feel very comfortable, and their fighting style also uses various common sword techniques.
The only tricky thing is Galadriel's ability to control their bodies temporarily through the demonic energy!
If you are suddenly controlled in the fierce battle, the result is often that Milia and the others will chop off your head with a sword.
But their strength is not very strong.
They can only cooperate with each other tacitly to maintain their formation and resist the violent attacks of the awakened ones.
This is also the reason why Steve Gus told them before they set off to hold on until the other teams finished fighting and came to support them.
Especially Galadilla and Audrey.
They are different from Milia, Helen and others. They are not the so-called semi-awakened ones.
Therefore, if you overuse your demon power in battle, it is possible that it will awaken on the spot, and then it is highly likely that you will no longer be a friendly force.
A semi-awakened person is one who first turns a blood relative into a monster, then transplants the monster's internal organs into his body. After more than ten years of training, he becomes a greatsword warrior who regains his sanity and human body when awakening.
A very crazy experiment.
But this will allow them to have power comparable to that of the awakened ones, and even to a certain extent control the awakening of part of their bodies.
But it will not get out of control, and the body's abilities can be restored at any time
The previous 'Seven Swords' were all like this, but Claire was a little special.
The flesh and blood in her body is not that of her relatives, but that of Denise.
The reason why the effect of a semi-awakened person appears.
Most likely it was because she had an extreme love for Denise. There was no other explanation.
Thank you very much for the 4500 starting coins reward from Zhiyu Overlord! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
