Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

At the command, the other members of the investigation team immediately started fighting with the soldiers who came with the adjutant. Renee immediately took out a bottle of potion and fed it to the adjutant, and stood in front of the adjutant to prevent any sneak attacks.

"I'm sorry... I don't quite understand what's going on, but something's definitely wrong right now. Has Commander Hanna been drawn into a trap?"

Renee asked quickly, tightening her grip on the weapon.

However, the adjutant did not answer her question. To be precise, the adjutant no longer had the time to explain slowly.

"Hurry to the Lord's Mansion..."

The adjutant held on for a breath and gritted his teeth as he spoke to Renee, "Tell Lord Hibernian that we've been infiltrated... At this point, the lord's mansion may no longer be safe. We must dispatch personnel from outside..."

……

223. Holy Light Illuminates (6k1)

While the investigation team was fighting, Sophia had followed Mark and Hannah to the headquarters of the Magician Corps. Sophia noticed that there were already seven people dressed as magicians waiting there.

Sophia didn't say a word along the way, and this silence seemed to infect Hannah and Buck. Only the soldier looked back from time to time.

"It's here."

The soldier said, stopping in his tracks. When the waiting magicians saw Sophia and Hannah, their eyes quickly locked onto Sophia, and they immediately greeted them with smiles.

"You are finally here, we have been waiting for a long time!"

"Wait a moment, why are there only a few of you here? Where is your superior?"

But what was strange was that Hannah looked around and did not see the adjutant. The people in front of her were all from the Magician Corps, and there was no one from the Lord's Mansion. Logically speaking, Sophia's identity was rather special, and the docking work should not be done by these people.

After all, Shibern has always valued Sophia.

"Haha, the commander ordered us to wait here for you. He probably didn't expect you to come so soon. Sorry, after all, the commander is also very busy. He must be having a headache right now, right?"

"Really?"

Hannah looked at these people with some suspicion, but they surrounded her without seeming to care, giving people a very anxious feeling.

"Sorry, sorry, we apologize first, but let's talk while we walk." They stared at Sophia with sharp eyes, observing and sizing her up, and then the corners of their mouths curled up in almost the same arc, "--Miss, you are the 'expert', right? Please allow us to lead you..."

Before they could finish their words, Hannah calmly stood in front of Sophia, preventing them from getting any closer.

She took over the conversation directly:

"Forget the extra greetings. Our time is limited. Please get straight to the point."

——To be honest, these people gave Hannah a feeling that something was not normal, and Hannah still hadn't seen the adjutant.

It's not that she was suspicious, but Hannah really felt something strange along the way.

This may be due to Hannah's understanding of her adjutant, or it may be due to some strange psychological feeling of "missing something that is trivial but should not be ignored."

In short, Hannah felt that something seemed to be wrong - having worked as a guard for a long time, Hannah trusted her intuition.

Hannah's task is to be responsible for the investigation while protecting Sophia's personal safety. After all, Sophia's identity is too sensitive. She is a witch who has signed a contract with the Holy See, and she is also the mother of Lady Faris's friend. Shibern attaches great importance to it, and it is also an opportunity to make friends with Lady Faris's friend. Just for this reason, Hannah must not take it lightly. As Shibern's most capable assistant, Hannah has her own guidelines on such matters.

"Then get straight to the point—what trouble have you got into? Are there any relevant samples from the two bodies? Where are the bodies? Where was the scene when the incident occurred? Where are the witnesses?"

Hannah's tone was a little rude, and she asked in a faster tone.

At this moment, a loud explosion swept from the distant sky, attracting the attention of Hannah and Buck at the same time. They subconsciously turned their heads and saw a striking fireworks explosion in the sky above the western part of the fortress in the direction they came from.

Because the distance between the west district and the central city was too far, the sound of the magic explosion became as dull as if it was seeping from the bottom of the water. However, when it reached Buck and Hannah's ears, it pierced their eardrums like a bell.

Because that is the direction where the investigation team is located, and that magical firework is the means they use to transmit signals when encountering emergencies.

This firework means...

"Miss Trawins!—"

Almost at the same time, Hannah and Buck reacted immediately and quickly drew their weapons. Hannah stepped aside and stood directly in front of Sophia. Buck stood on their flank, and the magic stone that appeared in his hand burst out with a blazing light.

However, the magicians and the leading soldiers were obviously well prepared. They cast their magic faster than Hannah and Buck. In just a moment, Hannah, Buck and Sophia were covered by the dazzling magic light. When their attack arrived, a huge white, crystal-clear frost wave and a solid wall of holy light also rose up.

bang——

Enormous magical powers pressed against each other, fused, squeezed, annihilated, and exploded. Dazzling magical light suddenly flashed in the magician's garrison. Visible air waves exploded and swept across as the floor tiles and walls melted.

Buzz—a strange resonant sound echoed in the aftermath of the magic storm. The defensive magic circle buried underground has been awakened, and for a moment, large areas of light rose from all directions at the same time.

But what followed was an even more violent explosion - a magical explosion rising from inside the Magician Corps' base. Obviously, these people came prepared and placed these things in advance to prevent anyone from coming out to interfere with them at this time.

"do you died?"

The magicians mechanically stared at the area covered by white smoke - in fact, they were all undead puppets and had been dead for a long time, but they looked no different from ordinary people. Even other people who lived and worked with them every day could not notice anything unusual about them.

They have been lurking for so long just for this moment.

"I don't know. Don't take it lightly. Even if she's dead, grind her body into powder."

"it is good."

"Everything for the master."

"For the Master."

They looked at each other and gathered their magic once again.

They were all puppets, obeying unconditionally the orders of their "master" - to kill Sophia Trauwens.

Because the "master" got the news that the woman named Sophia Trawins was the magic expert invited by Sir Hibern from him, which made the "master" begin to doubt - the time when this magic expert came to Dammas almost coincided with the time when his puppet identity was exposed. It was hard not to suspect whether this unknown woman had disrupted his plan, and even if people were sent to investigate the identity of this woman, no useful information could be obtained. The woman's identity was blocked from the inside, which further intensified the "master's" suspicion.

With the idea that it would be better to kill the wrong person than to let him go, and in order to prevent this "magic expert" from interfering with his next escape plan again, he planned such an attack through his planted personnel, and at the same time, it was also to delay the progress of the Lord's Mansion's investigation.

In any case, kill this woman - the "master" gave these puppets an order.

Since it is the order of the "master", they must do it without any mistakes.

Suddenly, more magic was thrown out, but it was obvious that the "target" was not so easy to kill. A thick ice wall blocked their magic.

The commotion they caused set the entire magician corps in a frenzy - everything that happened suddenly caught no one prepared, and most people were busy with their work. Before they had time to react, they were affected by the aftermath of the magic explosion, resulting in a large number of casualties in an instant.

The headquarters of the Magician Corps was located in the central city area. The brilliant magical light instantly activated multiple magic circles, including the entire city's air defense circle. However, the guards and magicians stationed there had not yet figured out what had happened. Only a few people saw the puppets taking action.

Then, a flash of sword light cut through the rising dust mist, and a nimble white figure rushed out from it, piercing the throat of a magician standing in the center with a swift sword. The sticky blood mist sprayed on Buck's solemn face. At this time, Buck's church uniform was scarred, revealing the inner soft leather armor lining, and there were blood marks on his waist and shoulders caused by magic, but fortunately he was not fatally injured and he still retained the ability to fight.

"Go to hell!"

Buck's sword was very decisive. As a knight of the church, he had compassion for others, but that didn't mean he would be soft-hearted when facing his enemies. Buck quickly killed the magician with one sword. At the same time, he spun the sword in his hand and held it in his backhand, throwing it directly at another puppet wizard. At the same time, he quickly took out a spare sword from the space ring.

These magicians were standing too densely, and Buck was a church knight. Giving him a chance to rush into these magicians would undoubtedly be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. After all, one of the characteristics of magicians is that if they stood too close and engaged in close combat, it would be easy to accidentally hurt their own people, so Buck seized the opportunity to rush in.

But things seem a little strange -

puff--

Unexpectedly, the magician's chest was still easily pierced. The sword blade came out from behind the magician, bringing up a sticky blood. At the same time, two icicles as thick as arms pierced through the dust and fog at lightning speed and suddenly pierced into the chests of the other three magicians, interrupting their magic. The remaining magic was blocked by the ice wall.

Now, the seven magicians and the soldier are all dead?

Buck frowned subconsciously.

Apart from anything else, these were magicians from the Magician Corps, so how could they be so vulnerable? If the first person was killed because he suddenly attacked with the help of the dust cloud, then the other magicians were also too unguarded.

Is it really?

"Master Buck! Watch your back!!!"

Hannah shouted loudly, which made Buck's nerves tense suddenly. Before he could look behind him clearly, he rolled forward on the ground. The next moment, a staff with explosive magic suddenly stabbed at his previous position. With a loud bang, the staff actually shattered the solid floor tiles and swept towards Buck with a scorching magic storm.

Bang—a strong shield of holy light appeared out of thin air and pressed tightly into the ground. Buck maintained a slightly awkward squatting posture and used the holy light to block the remaining power of the attack. At the same time, a large amount of magic shot towards Buck. Buck's nerves were tense and he had to retreat quickly, returning to the protection of the ice wall, and then came to Hannah and Sophia. He and Hannah guarded Sophia on the left and right behind them.

"There's a problem...something's not right."

Buck exclaimed, taking a breath with lingering fear.

"Master Buck, are you okay?" Hannah asked.

"It's okay, just a minor injury. If Marvin were here, he would be able to help me recover easily."

Buck gasped as he took out his arming sword again and held it tightly in his hand.

At this time, Hannah and Buck had some blood on their bodies. They were also slightly injured when they were attacked. Although it was not fatal, they didn't even have time to free their hands to drink the potion.

"Ms. Trawins, are you all right?"

Hannah glanced at Sophia, and her eyes suddenly became dry - Sophia's face and abdomen were covered in blood, and the snow-white wizard robe had been stained with the glaring red.

"It's okay... don't worry about me..."

Sophia took a breath with a slight tremor, still holding the staff tightly in her hand - she was the target of the magicians, and all the magic just now was directed at her alone. Even though Hannah and Buck reacted quickly, Sophia also held up the frost shield in the first time, but even though she was a witch, she could not cope with such intensive magic attacks in such a sudden situation, so she was injured.

The white mist gradually faded away, and Buck could see the person who attacked him clearly at this time. His eyes widened immediately - the person who attacked him was actually the magician whose neck was pierced by his sword. The magician stood there as if he had no feeling of pain, staring at Buck with dry eyes, without any expression. A large amount of sticky blood flowed from his neck, staining his whole body red, which made him look particularly creepy.

Hannah's scalp tingled, and Buck's expression suddenly became serious.

"Tsk, these guys aren't even alive... This is a magician group, when did these guys sneak in?"

"I'm afraid we've got a big problem internally. I don't think this is just a case of infiltration. It's impossible for ordinary people to place these guys in the magician group," Hannah said. "There's no point in fighting now. Without the priests' help, we won't be able to kill them in a short time. Let's retreat first!"

And their mission is not to win, but to protect Sophia's safety.

Bang—at this moment, signal fireworks exploded in the sky. Just now, Hannah took advantage of Buck's initiative to launch a signal flare for help. After all, this is the base of the Magician Corps. Hannah can't trust the magicians here, but the signal flare is from the Lord's Mansion, which is not far from here. As long as she holds on for a while, she will definitely get help.

A new round of magic appeared from the hands of those puppet mages, attacking quickly—

Sophia pursed her lips slightly, then suddenly raised her staff. Circles of extremely cold white light spread out from her as the center. Every inch of the ground where the light spread turned into ice. If you look down from a high altitude, the ice neatly describes a huge magic circle.

boom--

Huge magical waves spread out in all directions. Although Sophia couldn't see them, she could determine the enemy's position from the waves. With her own strength, she completely blocked the magic of the eight puppets.

This surprised Hannah and Buck, but when they thought about the fact that this seemingly weak blind girl was a great witch known as the "Witch of White Frost" twenty years ago, it seemed to make sense.

But Sophia was injured after all, and looked a little exhausted.

"Lord Buck! Please protect Miss Trawins and get her out of here and to the Lord's Mansion! I'll hold the line here!"

But they couldn't run away now, because several magicians had already rushed in from outside the Magician Corps' headquarters, and the light of magic blocked their retreat - but they did not launch an attack, which made Hannah feel a little relieved. It was obvious that these magicians were not enemies.

"Stop! What's going on here? Who are you?!"

One of them questioned loudly, aiming his magic at Hannah nervously - the current situation was very chaotic. They happened to be outside the Magician Corps' base, so they were not affected by the explosion, but they couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

"Don't attack us!" Hannah shouted hurriedly, pointing towards the Magician Corps' base. "They are the enemy! They are undead puppets!! We are being attacked!"

It's easy to tell just by looking at the current appearance of those magicians.

"Please help us retreat!"

Buck requested.

These magicians looked in the direction Hannah pointed, all showed a look of horror, and immediately changed the direction of their magic.

"Leave as soon as possible, leave this place to us."

"Don't fight them, they're not easy to kill!"

"Don't worry, we know what's going on."

But just as they cast the magic in their hands, a blinding ray of light descended from the sky. It was a holy light as warm as the midday sun. Like a tide, it was centered somewhere high in the sky and in an instant, it encompassed all areas including the entire magician corps' base, the central city area, and even the entire fortress. The enormous holy light energy transformed into endless vitality that permeated into every person's body.

"My injury has healed..."

"Me too……"

The magicians, as well as Hannah and Buck, couldn't help but look up into the sky.

At this moment, there were two suns in the sky of Dammas at the same time, one was blazing and dazzling, the other was holy and warm.

Sophia could not see anything. She could not see the spectacular sight of the holy light, but she could clearly feel that every inch of her flesh seemed to be cleansed by pure energy. Warm heat traveled through her limbs and bones, repairing all her injuries in an instant, and brought a surge of power, which quickly restored her tired spirit. Her perception of magic also became clearer at this moment.

The feelings of others were even more direct. They felt warm all over their bodies, and all the fatigue in their bodies was swept away. A large number of wounded people in the magician corps’ base, all those who were still alive, received an infusion of huge life force at this moment, and as long as the injuries were not broken hands or legs, they were healed immediately.

The next moment, a figure flew out from the "sun".

It was Vivian.

"Mom! Are you okay!?"

Vivian stumbled and landed on the ice, her face full of panic and tears, and she threw herself directly into Sophia's arms. The magic power in the "sun" expanded again - this time it was an icy air wave.

Sophia looked up subconsciously.

She couldn't see, but she could feel, especially the frost magic, which was more acutely felt - the huge frost magic fluctuations were as eye-catching as the sun in her "eyes", and they were still expanding rapidly, expanding into a huge energy ball that covered the sky and the sun in an instant.
