In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

When the arrow struck its target, it unleashed terrifying power, shattering a large chunk of sand. However, before long, the struck area began to move strangely and regained its shape!

The girl's attack landed on the opponent as if fire had met water, leaving not even a trace of scorch marks!

Looking at [Quicksand] now, it is completely unrecognizable from its previous form. Its body is entirely formed of sand, and its humanoid posture creates a strong, eerie, and sinister visual impact. Combined with the surrounding black mist, it is enough to make people's sanity drop wildly!

The creature, several meters tall, slowly approached Rika's direction. Its violent aura caused the girl's face to display an unusually solemn expression.

Sensing the approaching pressure, Rika released holy light arrows in an attempt to slow the enemy's advance while struggling to break free, but remained stuck in place.

The sand beneath her had already spread up to her pink knees; if she continued upwards, she would reach the area known as the "absolute territory"!

"Struggle! Struggle with your life! But in the end, it will all be in vain before you die!"

"My sand will not only restrict your movements, but also simultaneously attract your life force. I think you should have noticed this to some extent by now, right? Hehehehe..."

A buzzing sound emanated from the mouth of [Quicksand]. With a wave of its hand, more sand fell from its body and then, as if possessing a spirit, "swam" towards Rika's location.

The sands clung together, forming the head of a terrifying beast. Its mouth was wide open, revealing its fangs, as if it could swallow Rika whole in just a few breaths!

In addition, Rika's own situation is also precarious—

The sand has a strange effect of absorbing life force. Because of the cover of holy light, she was able to cope for a short time. If she could not break free for a long time, the dissipation of holy light would probably raise the level of danger she was facing to an unbearable level in an instant!

No, if this continues, I might really die here today!

It seems we have no choice but to use that move!

As the beast's head drew near, the cross-shaped stigmata in Rika's eyes trembled violently, and a pair of wings formed of holy light emerged from behind her. The wings were crystal clear, like the most beautiful gems in the world, shimmering with an unusual luster in the dim light!

Whoosh!

The wings slammed down, creating a sudden gust of wind and a powerful shockwave!

Not only was the sand beneath it directly washed away, but the huge beast's head was also completely shattered by this attack!

As for Rika herself, she used the reaction force from flapping her wings to reach mid-air, looked down at the quicksand, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Phew, I'm finally free!"

Her gaze flickered to the wings behind her, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes. If it weren't for the further evolution of her transformed state, forming the Wings of Holy Light, she would probably be in grave danger by now. It was truly a close call!

On the other side, looking at the sky, the girl [Liusha] showed an "unexpected" expression.

"He can actually fly? That's an astonishing ability! Back in the day, I also longed to fly freely in the sky, which is why I joined the organization. Little did I expect to become..."

Seemingly thinking of something, [Quicksand] shook his head and didn't say anything more. When he looked at the girl again, a chilling "smile" appeared on his lips!

"But young lady, you don't actually think that as long as you can fly, you can easily escape from here, do you? That's far too naive!"

Having said that, He raised both arms, and sand flowed from His hands again. Surprisingly, the sand did not fall from the air as usual, but gathered in Rika's direction. In a short while, several spears formed from sand appeared in front of [Quicksand]!

clang!

Although formed from sand, the surface of the spear had a metallic sheen that flowed across it, and [Quicksand] chuckled:

"These little guys are weapons I created by refining and combining the hardest substances within them! Your wings look quite beautiful, but unfortunately, they're about to be torn to shreds by my weapons, hahahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, [Quicksand] controlled the spear to shoot out, instantly tearing through the void and shooting towards the girl at a terrifying speed. Each spear turned into a meteor, releasing a violent and unparalleled destructive power, seemingly unable to withstand even the void itself, emitting a series of "hoarse" sounds!

shhhhh--

Rika quickly dodged. Even though the Wings of Holy Light were born from her body and were part of her body in the form of Holy Light, it was still the first time she had used them and she was not proficient in using them. After dodging a few times, her wings were still narrowly grazed by a spear!

Whoosh!

Tiny specks of crystal fell from the torn parts of her wings. As if sensing some pain, Rika frowned slightly, her eyes, marked with a cross, fixed on the quicksand below, a dangerous glint suddenly flashing in them!

"I don't want to play anymore!"

"what?"

[Quicksand] was stunned, seemingly not expecting that the girl would still have the leisure to joke in the face of such a dangerous situation.

He was so angry he laughed.

"Don't joke with me! We're in the middle of a battle right now. What do you mean by 'don't want to play anymore'? Do you think I'll let you off the hook just because you say that?"

"Let me go?"

Rika said with a strange expression, looking at the [Quicksand] below as if it were a lifeless object: "You misunderstood, didn't you? What I meant was that I just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, that's all!"

"End the battle..."

[Quicksand] muttered to himself, then suddenly burst into laughter again: "In all my years, I've never heard of such a ridiculous thing. In that case, I'll just have to get it over with sooner..."

Before he could finish speaking, the girl in his eyes suddenly raised her crossbow again and made a shooting motion with her hand.

"It's useless. Your attack may be powerful, but it can be easily blocked by my sand. It's all meaningless—"

Is that really the case?

The girl's lips curled up, and streaks of ice crystals suddenly appeared on her cheeks. At the same time, cold air emanated from the tips of her fingers and instantly adhered to the arrows!

"Let me give this awakened new power a try!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl suddenly released an arrow, its chilling holy light mixed with icy coldness, shooting straight towards [Quicksand]!

……

Chapter 168 The Holy Arrow!

【Icy Frost】!

Shortly after activating her new Holy Light form, Rika realized that there seemed to be an untapped power hidden within her.

If I had to describe it, it's like watching a video where the progress bar has reached 99%, but it's missing that crucial 1%, making it incomplete.

Relying on her current abilities, she might not be qualified to defeat the enemy before her. Therefore, Rika closed her eyes and tried to draw upon the deeper power contained within her body.

The next second, Rika found herself in a pure white space, and the familiar aura was undoubtedly the power of holy light.

"Is this... inside my body? How amazing..."

Rika murmured to herself, her gaze searching the space, and soon noticed—

In the center, a crystal radiating seven-colored light floated in mid-air, its light seemingly able to penetrate the surroundings, instantly attracting the girl's attention!

"so beautiful!"

Rika "flew" toward the crystal. When she got close, she raised her hand to touch the crystal. The next moment, a burst of light shot out and completely enveloped the girl's consciousness!

boom!

In the real world, accompanied by a faint, icy aura, arose around her. The girl opened her eyes, and a look of surprise flashed across her pretty face.

"This power..."

At this moment, Rika could clearly feel that the holy light within her body still existed, but it had taken on some different characteristics. Wisps of cool mist flowed across her body, and even her breath was tinged with frost.

However, the girl did not feel cold. Instead, with the appearance of the cold air, a powerful force surged from all parts of her body, like a fish entering the water or a bird soaring in the sky. Every move she made was filled with indescribable agility!

"Now, we should be able to win, right?"

Rika muttered to herself as she raised her crossbow again, and holy light surged forth once more, accompanied by an icy aura emanating from her fingertips!

Click, click!

Not only did ice crystals appear on the girl's body, but even her weapon, the crossbow, had faint blue ice patterns flowing around it.

In an instant, mysterious patterns formed on the surface of the crossbow, and similar patterns appeared on the surface of the arrows that had solidified!

The girl fixed her gaze on the quicksand, her eyes unwavering. As a glint of ice crystal appeared on her cheek and then faded away, she suddenly released her fingers!

call out--

The arrow, imbued with the aura of frost, fell towards the location of [Quicksand]. The opponent seemed to recall past scenes, and simply mocked the girl's attack.

"It's no use. Your arrows, though powerful, are still too much against the endless sand—"

Before he could finish speaking, the arrow had already struck one of his arms, and with a loud "boom," the arm was instantly shattered!

boom!

“Look, this weak and powerless attack, as long as I—wait, this pain…”

[Quicksand] The dark, gaping eye suddenly widened. It noticed that at the broken spot, the sand did not reform into the shape of an arm as before. Instead, a crystal-clear ice crystal covered the surface, preventing the sand from flowing!

Besides that, He finally felt that long-lost pain—

"what!!!!"

He couldn't help but howl loudly.

Even though He hadn't felt any pain for a long time after the fusion, He could heal his injuries by simply re-condensing the sand. He often used this method to evade attacks and turn the modern army that had once pursued him into scrap metal and corpses!

However, the girl's seemingly ordinary attack not only slowed down the power of the sand, but also extended the pain to her very soul!

Looking down at the [Quicksand] emitting agonizing screams, Rika simply placed her fingers on the crossbow again, and as the frost aura flowed, it once again condensed into the shape of an arrow!

Click, click!

On the other side, [Quicksand] seemed to finally sense the approach of death. He struggled to raise his head, and his gaze towards the girl was filled with disbelief!

"Why...how could your ability...be..."

As a member who had been with the Illuminati for a long time, He simply couldn't believe that such an ability existed in a world where the dark side was almost monopolized by the Illuminati!

That seemingly strange, icy aura actually originated from the same source as the power that the opponent initially displayed. However, for some reason, on certain levels, the icy power was clearly more powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why it could suppress the healing of the injury!

However, after [Quicksand] asked the question, the girl did not answer it, but continued to prepare her arrow. The dangerous sense that seemed to be aimed at its soul told it that the girl's attack was extraordinary!

Sure enough, in His eyes, the girl's usual actions attracted even more intense icy energy, which converged towards her weapon.

The sudden surge of power seemed to have alerted the surrounding black mist, causing it to gradually recede into the distance!

Splash!

As the power of the dense fog and frost converged, an arrow several times larger than before condensed on the girl's crossbow.

The patterns on its surface were not only more pronounced, but they even attracted holy light, forming a swirling whale illusion around the girl. It emitted a melodious cry, and waves and frost overlapped, as if waiting for some signal, ready to pounce!

Finally, the girl blinked, the cross-shaped holy mark glowed faintly, and the next moment she uttered softly: "Go, Frosty Holy Arrow!"

call out--

Even before the dense, icy aura reached him, [Quicksand] felt as if his soul was about to be frozen at any moment. He clenched his teeth, and a resolute expression appeared on his human-like face.
