The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

At this moment, the purple beam of light had shrunk to its maximum size.

"people?"

Rick was slightly taken aback.

That's right—from this extremely compressed purple light body, one can vaguely make out the shape of a petite human figure.

Rick narrowed his eyes.

Just then, the energy surged forth.

Centered on the humanoid figure, the energy swept across indiscriminately.

Its speed was so great that even Hugh almost couldn't react in time.

The first pile of rubble to be hit was instantly reduced to dust.

"Huh?!"

Next to be devoured was the Skywing girl who had just been awakened from her groping state.

Next, the shield that Hughie hastily created was also not spared.

An area within a radius of several kilometers was instantly flattened.

……

……

"Well……"

Right in the very center of the scorched earth, some indistinct sounds came from.

A girl with loose black hair rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out with slow steps.

Then, the girl looked around at the scene that resembled a natural disaster, straightened her head, and then frowned.

It seems that... because someone kept disturbing her while she was sleeping, she subconsciously resorted to aggressive behavior.

This is the final result.

Hmm, it seems like we went a bit too far.

The girl tilted her head, seriously considering whether she should pretend she hadn't seen anything and leave.

Just then, the girl's sky was enveloped by an even deeper purple light.

Already not fully awake, the girl looked up somewhat displeased as she was now exposed to the bright light.

"We've finally found you!"

The winged girl with outstretched wings looked down at her with a ferocious smile, her hands raised high.

"My name is Jibril. Please remember this name well, and then—"

Jibril, a Skywing species, had a cold glint in her amber eyes, with a clearly visible cross-shaped pattern in her pupils.

"Let's have a good fight!"

Generally, the Skywing species do not specifically name their attacks.

Simply using force or manipulating space to cause destruction to the surroundings is not enough to be called a 'skill'.

That's just an ordinary act that even naming a child would seem foolish, like breathing.

However, there are exceptions sometimes.

In principle, this would cause difficulties in use and prevent continuous use, as well as the 'ultimate killing intent' infused into it.

That was the strongest attack a single Skywing could unleash.

The impact, named Sky Strike, instantly engulfed the girl who had raised her head.

Chapter 283 Orpheus's Worries

How powerful is Sky Strike?

A single, ordinary Sky Strike can easily create a crater several kilometers in diameter on the ground.

And how strong is Jibril's Sky Strike, the 'Final Individual'—which is also given the special title of 'Side Story Individual'?

—The current state of this former capital of the forest elves is the result of Jibril's Sky Strike, which was significantly weakened by the defensive spells formed by 3000 elite forest elf mages.

With a single strike, it indiscriminately destroys everything; the ultimate weapon is the product of his complete mastery.

Now, the purple sun falling from the sky is about to bring back the calamity of the past to Rick's eyes... though he probably won't have the chance to witness it.

Even if it were just the aftershock, Hugh would not have been able to withstand that attack, let alone himself.

Even without sufficient information, Rick could make this judgment.

You can understand it the moment you see it.

That is something that takes destruction and annihilation to the extreme, and a single mech has no means to resist it.

"...Analyzing the scope of destruction...exceeding this forest spirit city...avoidance is impossible..."

Listening to Hughie's analysis, Rick could only smile wryly.

Because of that inexplicable spatial blockade, their range of movement was restricted to the city, but the range of the sky attack predicted by Shubi exceeded the city.

In other words, there is no room for dodging.

"Adopt a plan to avoid and defend against attacks to the greatest extent possible."

As they spoke, Hughie had already led Rick to the very edge of the city.

Although it's unknown how much damage such a distance will cause to the aftershocks of Sky Strike, it's better than nothing.

Then layers of bluish-white defenses were erected in front of the two of them.

All of this seemed to take a long time, but it was actually completed within three seconds of the moment the Sky Strike was condensed.

And the Sky Strike was finally about to land.

The next moment, some kind of 'impact' struck.

"───"

It was a shock that gave Rick a feeling that was quite familiar.

The multiple layers of defenses erected by Shubi crumbled without any resistance.

But that was not the result of the Sky Strike.

Because in Rick's eyes, the heavenly strike that should have destroyed the world—also began to crumble and shatter under such a silent shock.

“…I understand…”

In his dizziness, Rick vaguely heard the word that Shubi said beside him.

It seems that the girl said the same thing before?

Spiritual decay... Spiritual decay... Spirit... Collapse?

Rick seemed to understand a little.

What happened next was something Rick couldn't comprehend.

The collapsed Elf Corridor triggered a series of chain reactions, and the energy that was finally released was directed at the Winged Girl who had unleashed Sky Strike!

"Huh?!"

Jibril, unable to react for a moment after her spirit was instantly drained of energy, finally showed a hint of panic before being swallowed by the light.

boom!!!

A pillar of light pierced the heavens and the earth from below, its blinding white light illuminating the entire ruined city of the forest elves.

"Void Zero Protection..."

Looking at the destructive light shooting straight into the sky, even though he couldn't understand the principle behind that attack, Rick couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The term "spirit destruction" seems to have originated from the weapons created by this forest elf species.

In other words, is the current situation the result of that weapon?

Or is it... just a small part of the results?

"you……"

The sudden, languid voice pulled Rick back to reality.

The girl who had just appeared had somehow come into view and was slowly walking towards the two of them.

Hugh stepped forward, trying to block Rick, but suddenly stumbled.

"Shubi, what's wrong?"

Rick was startled and quickly helped the petite girl up, asking her what was wrong.

But the next moment, seeing the black and gray storm falling like a blizzard, he came to the most likely answer.

"An elf...?"

The attack from the spirit... Judging from the range of its impact, all the spirits within this isolated space have probably been completely wiped out.

For races that use elves, this is probably a nightmare akin to humans without oxygen.

At this moment, the girl had already walked up to the two of them.

Only then did Rick have the opportunity to examine the other person closely.

The same exquisite appearance, the same black hair and black robe attire.

She was almost identical to the previous mysterious girl, the only difference being... apart from the fact that this girl looked a little younger, her eyes were the only difference.

The previous girl's eyes were bright and full of vitality, while this girl's eyes were dull and languid, giving the impression that she hadn't woken up yet.

"you……"

The girl spoke slowly again.

But at that moment, several purple beams of light struck.
