Chapter 3980 [The Holy Son Alliance]
As Miss Sabel spoke, she used her magic to conceal the elemental reaction from Shad.
Miss Cruz, standing to the side, thought the power this stranger was wielding looked like a Chaos-based arcane art, but she was soon influenced by it and stopped thinking about it.
“I never thought about this. It is possible for the great beings to have brothers, sisters and descendants, but that would be too blasphemous.”
The girl said, trembling:
"Shouldn't each church have its own methods for managing these kinds of people? How could they be allowed to unite like this?"
As Shad drew the bowstring taut, the silver "arrow" gradually appeared. Adele, who was nearby, could see it quite clearly; it was not an arrow at all, but a rapier without a guard.
Shad could already control the specific shape of the "Moonlight Greatsword," and the ability for it to fly was taught to him by Lady Helena Carter. This morning, the ladies in the house only mentioned the combined use of the "Blood Moon Curve" and the "Night Arrow," but in his opinion, the bow and sword were the best combination.
Adele inwardly admired Shad's combination of the two magical arts, while aloud explaining:
"The members of the [Holy Son Alliance] could not possibly be the first-generation descendants or blood relatives of those who were possessed by the gods. However, the material world is so vast and history is so long that even if the number of mortals who were possessed by the gods is not large, the number of their descendants is enormous. The [Holy Son Alliance] has been searching for the descendants of this special group. As long as they can be proven to have a blood relationship with the body of the 'Saint,' they can be absorbed by them."
They considered themselves superior, beings above ordinary ring mages, noble beings situated between gods and mortals. Their presence has been felt since the Third Era; their shared goal is to uncover their own unique characteristics and thus draw closer to the power of the 'Ancestor Saints.'
"Are they trying to become gods?"
Shad asked a question that made the coachwoman tremble even more. His longbow, which was fully drawn, was first aimed at the tenth-ring sorcerer among the three enemies, but then moved to the thing being held by the ninth-ring sorceress.
In that instant, the hooded sorceress actually looked up in their direction. Beneath her hood were white hair and a kind, amiable face; she appeared to be around thirty years old.
To be specific, this strange white-haired sorceress easily evokes religious images such as the "Holy Mother".
Fortunately, although she glanced over, she didn't see through Adele's chaotic magic, and the latter continued to explain:
"It shouldn't be such a grand goal, otherwise they would have ceased to exist long ago. But I don't know exactly what this group wants to do, since there are very few records about them. It's not uncommon for the blood relatives of the 'Saint' body to have thousands of descendants after dozens of generations. Some of them will definitely agree with their ideology after learning the 'truth,' so they are never short of manpower."
"Look at the woman at the back of those three. Yes, the one who looked over just now. She should be the 'Infant-Holding Mother,' the one with the most special status in the [Holy Son Alliance]. Nobody knows what that terrifying thing she's holding is; it's probably the research result of the [Holy Son Alliance]."
Are these people really special?
Miss Cruz asked, still somewhat incredulously, and Adele replied:
“Silly girl, even a conceptual connection with the great ones grants special power, let alone the actual connection between saints and their descendants. I can’t answer your question directly, but you’ll find the answer yourself when you watch the battles that follow.”
As she finished speaking, Xia De released the bowstring.
The Moonlight Greatsword was originally pure silver, but as it charged, it was tinged with the crimson of the longbow. The crimson and silver moonlight blended together, transforming into a scarlet silver light as it left the bowstring.
The beam of light passed through countless raindrops in the air, yet it did not alter the direction of any of the raindrops' movement.
When people below the low cliff covered with spring ivy noticed a glimmer of light in the rain, that light had already reached the "Infant Mother" who was holding something unknown.
Then, as she clutched the object in her arms and looked up, everything around her seemed to freeze.
The raindrops and the crimson silver light froze in the air, but as Adele chuckled softly on the low cliff, the raindrops remained still, but the beam of light suddenly accelerated again, hitting directly the thing the woman was holding.
Crimson moonlight burst forth near the ground, the arrows instantly exploding the flesh and blood they touched. Amidst the bursting light, the sudden cry of a baby tore through the sounds of rain and the rushing river.
Having anticipated this, Viggo immediately cast a spell to distort the sound waves. At the same time, Miss Cruz, who was on the low cliff with Miss Sabel, jumped down and hurriedly checked on her two unconscious companions.
The arrow first pierced through what the sorceress was holding, then directly detonated a third of the woman's flesh, almost obliterating her completely. But her two companions standing in front of her didn't look back at all; instead, they looked up at the sky.
Besides the falling raindrops, there was also a streak of starlight falling from the sky—
"A Falling Star Strike!"
Boom!
The loud noise was masked by the witch's magic and was not heard by the people in the nearby Grayrock Pass fortress.
Although Shade didn't fly very high this time, the power of his attack was strong enough. Even though Shade felt himself hit a soft, warm shield during the fall, the shield only delayed him for a moment before being forcibly torn apart by the falling starlight.
"That shield... why does it feel like it's made of flesh and blood?"
Protected by the shield, the two reacted with extraordinary speed, each raising a hand to strike at Shad, who was descending from the sky. The clash of four hands was the real cause of the loud noise. Starlight collided with the inexplicable golden light emanating from the two near the ground. At the cost of one person coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground, and another suffering a broken right side of his body, they actually managed to block Shad's attack.
"What kind of power is this?"
At this moment, an even stranger power emerged from behind the two enemies, who quickly retreated. The intense mental pollution power that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared.
Vige's violent coughing also rang out. Out of caution, Xia De did not pursue her, but instead came to Vige's side.
She looked disheveled, her face pale, her lips white, and beads of sweat on her forehead. She coughed and gasped for breath. Her golden eyes looked at Xia De with a mixture of stubbornness and apology; she didn't want him to see her in such a wretched state.
Shad didn't say anything, but simply extended his left hand to her.
The witch pursed her lips, then bit down on Shad's left hand and began to suckle it fiercely.
Adele, who was above the low cliff, saw this scene clearly. However, she already knew about it a few days ago at the "Fragrance Mansion", so she was more concerned about the situation of the three members of the [Holy Son Alliance].
At this moment, the sorceress's remains, blasted apart by Shad's arrow, had vanished from the waterlogged ground. The hooded woman reappeared, her body intact, still clutching that oppressive object in her arms; even Adele couldn't figure out how she had done it.
"That thing she's holding."
The heavily wounded tenth-ring and ninth-ring warlocks seemed to have anticipated this outcome; they didn't turn around, but instead looked at Shad and Vigo and asked:
"Our Lady, may we use that power?"
The voice of the "Infant Madonna" was low and hoarse, sounding extremely fragile and sensitive.
"allow."
The crimson moonlight transformed into a slash that was unleashed by Shad, but immediately a golden aura erupted from the two members of the [Holy Son Alliance], and then they both took a step forward simultaneously:
"Holy Form!"
The shield formed by the intermingling golden halos was shattered by the moonlight with a snap, but the moonlight also disappeared as a result.
In the flowing golden light of the rain, all the injuries of the tenth and ninth ring cultivators were instantly healed. They grew significantly taller, their muscles bulging to resemble those of small giants. The life rings behind them automatically appeared, golden light shimmering on the brass rings, and even golden light appeared in their eyes.
This appearance is quite intimidating, but the elements that enhance the two are all four elements, and it is not a so-called "divine" form at all.
However, it must be admitted that they have indeed become stronger. Although their actual level has not increased, this all-round improvement, along with the special power granted by that strange golden light, is enough for them to fight against stronger enemies.
Of course, this still didn't seem like a threat to Xia De.
"First, the Blood Spirit School produced 'new humans,' and now a strange organization has created a 'divine form.' The world is changing really fast."
As Xia Dexin was filled with emotion—
Click!
The metal restraints on Wei Ge's wrists and ankles were released one by one. She let out a long breath, and the raindrops and sweat on her rosy cheeks disappeared. A warm current filled her healthy body, and the comfortable feeling that spread from her stomach to her whole body even gave her a feeling that she could shatter fate.
"Take them and leave first."
She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and calmly spoke to her maid and Miss Cruz beside her. The two could sense that their mistress had almost fully recovered, so they each picked up one of the wounded and quickly disappeared along the riverbank.
"Although I don't know what these three are, I can sense the order within the chaotic tide. The 'Divine Form' is not entirely their own power; it comes from what the woman behind them is holding."
They won't stray far from that thing, otherwise they'll lose the power they've borrowed.
Wei Ge spoke in a deep voice in the rain, savoring the metallic taste of blood in her mouth and feeling the exhilaration of her body being filled with the warm flame of life:
“Take care of these two first. The woman behind them is the real problem. Don’t even think about taking prisoners; people like that won’t give us a chance. You cast the spell; use whatever attack you like. I will demonstrate my power to you in my current state.”
"Alright—Thunder Spear!"
"Echoes of Chaos!"
