The story of the black silk female knight

With a single summoning spell, Dreigan summoned Valensa onto his back, and she took flight. Nana immediately followed suit, carrying Tia in a princess carry. The two women met in the air and temporarily settled on Dreigan's dragon back.

The earthquake in the main city of the wild beasts became increasingly violent, and the affected area became larger and larger. All three surrounding mountains experienced large-scale landslides or even fractures. The bottom of the large lake to the north was also breached by the earthquake, and nearly a million cubic meters of water flowed into the ground and disappeared within tens of seconds.

The fierce beast warriors outside the city, who were fighting desperately against the undead legion, finally realized that what they were protecting had already fallen. Many of them stood there blankly, looking back, and were mercilessly shot down by the undead and skeletons with automatic rifles.

The ordinary wild beasts were finally wiped out, but the great chieftain of the wild beasts had only just begun to make his move.

Without Tia's instruction, Princess Yu, who was far behind the lines, knew to control the undead army to retreat away from the main city of the beasts, while also preparing the mortar squads to provide fire support with a rapid volley at any time.

Valensa and her team tried throwing a nuclear bomb into the hole from which the blood was spurting, but the bomb disappeared without ever exploding.

Tia and Dregran then used their respective mental perception spells to test them, but were immediately met with a counterattack from some kind of evil magic.

Dreigan's dragon body trembled and she almost fell from the sky, while Tia collapsed into Valensa's arms with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Valensa, who had originally wanted to try using divine magic to detect the situation, could only quickly switch to healing magic to relieve Tia and Dreigan's pain upon seeing the situation.

In that instant of mental contact, Tia and Dreigan were corrupted by evil magic, their souls stained with a strange blood-red light.

Fortunately, the Holy Light remained effective against evil magic, and Valensa cleared away the eerie blood-red light.

"...The souls and resentments of those wild beasts seem to have gathered together."

After catching her breath, Tia recalled the results of her mental perception:

"Just like the ancestral spirit ritual we saw before, all the wild beasts that died in this battle were transformed into curse power and absorbed by the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts... It seems to be making a desperate gamble to transform itself into a new race."

But regardless of whether it transforms successfully, it is already... utterly terrifying.

boom!

Just then, another deafening roar shook the earth below, as if it were a tangible... no, it was a massive hand that had materialized into a physical form and reached out to grab Dreigan.

Dregran quickly rose to dodge, but she was not as fast as her opponent, and the blood-red hand was about to grab her.

Bang!

At the critical moment, it was Nana who stepped forward again, deliberately colliding with the crimson giant hand, which finally stopped the crimson giant hand, allowing Dreigan to take the opportunity to fly higher, rising to a safe height of about 3000 meters before stopping.

But Nana was grabbed by a blood-red hand, which gripped her tighter and tighter, making her unable to break free, and her whole body crackled.

Valensa's expression changed, and she quickly summoned Nana back using her summoning artifact. She saw that Nana's clothes were corroded by blood and light, and her skin, which could withstand the attacks of a Star-level warrior's artifact without breaking, was also ulcerated in large areas.

The curse power of that blood-red light was extremely strong, even hindering Nana's self-repair. Valensa had to purify it with holy light first.

Roar!

Dregran wasn't the type to take a beating without fighting back. After reaching a safe altitude, she took a deep breath without hesitation and then exhaled downwards.

Dragon Breath!

Unlike the fire breath used by the black and red dragons, and the cold breath used by the frost dragons, the fairy dragon's breath is a beam of light that looks very similar to the Sunfire Blaze, except that it is silvery like moonlight.

The power of Dreigan's angry breath was definitely not weak, probably similar to Valensa's Sunfire Burst that broke through the sandstorm barrier in the previous battle, and it pushed back the blood hand that kept reaching upward.

The giant bloody hand then gave up attacking the air, but Valensa and the others did not relax, because it was just a hand.

Sure enough, after giving up the pursuit of Dreigan, the blood-handed creature did not retreat back into the cave. Instead, it lowered itself down and pressed against the ground, making a supporting posture.

It's like someone climbing out of a deep pit; first, they stretch out one hand, then use the strength of that hand to press down on the ground and pull their whole body up.

Amidst the flying debris, the entire central area of ​​the desolate beast city was pushed open from below, and a colossal creature, 300 meters tall, slowly rose and took its first step, the sound of its footsteps shaking the heavens and the earth.

It was a lion-headed giant composed entirely of materialized blood-red light, looking exactly like the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts, only many times larger... In Valensa's previous life, a 30-story commercial building wouldn't even reach the waist of the blood-red giant.

This is the monster that the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts eventually became after absorbing the life force curse of more than 1000 million wild beasts.

It's obvious that it's much stronger than before. Judging from its attributes alone, it has likely surpassed the Moon's Radiance level and reached the legendary Sun's Radiance level.

Valensa has never fought Xiao Yu herself, so she cannot judge whether Xiao Yu or the current chieftain of the Wild Beasts is stronger.

However, Valensa was no stranger to this phenomenon of integrating everything around her to enhance her own strength. When Himiko used the Jade Island formation to fight Xiao Yu, she used a similar approach.

Himiko, who only possesses the strength of the Moon Radiance Peak, managed to survive against Xiao Yu, a Sun Radiance level expert, through this method, which is a significant improvement.

Now the fusion and absorption of the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts is even more thorough, and the enhancement effect is definitely no weaker than the Jade Island's great formation... In any case, it is definitely much stronger than before.

Valensa struggled to defeat the previous Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts, and she would certainly be even less able to defeat him now.

She had no intention of going down to fight the BOSS alone to play the hero. Instead, she had Dreigan continue to rise and create distance, while she had Princess Yu control the undead army to fire their cannons.

Bang bang bang bang!

The heavy mortars on the skeletal centaur fired again, unleashing nearly 2000 conventional shells mixed with more than 20 nuclear bombs as they blasted towards the Crimson Giant.

Boom boom boom boom!

Fiery fireballs kept exploding in the main city of the wild beasts, and mushroom clouds rose one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The massive shockwave from the explosion swept across the basin repeatedly, destroying everything on the ground and almost completely erasing all traces left by the wild beasts.

Valensa and the others cautiously hid 2 meters in the air, peeking out from the back of Dreigan's dragon to survey the ground.

The combined power of more than 20 nuclear bombs exploding in succession is enough to kill any Moon-level powerhouse... Could it kill the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts who is burdened with the curse of more than 1000 million wild beast lives?

The answer is no.

Before the mushroom cloud had completely dissipated and the ground temperature in the blast zone was still close to 1,000 degrees Celsius, the angry roars of the beasts rang out. Then, a blood-red beam of light, 30 meters thick, shot out, its target the undead legion that had just carried out the bombardment.

Like a high-pressure water gun washing the ground, the crimson light cannon swept across the undead army in different ways, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Any undead that passed through it would be instantly evaporated, leaving not even a trace of flesh or bone fragments.

After the siege, more than 55 undead soldiers remained, but they were wiped out in less than 20 seconds under the attack of the crimson light cannon.

After annihilating the undead army, the crimson giant once again turned its gaze to the sky, dense crimson light gathering in front of the lion's head, as if it wanted to fire a shot into the air as well.

Both Dregran and Tia were nervous, but not too scared.

The power of that crimson light cannon was indeed difficult to defend against, but its speed wasn't very fast, making it relatively easy for spellcasters skilled in teleportation to dodge.

Unexpectedly, after the crimson giant condensed its crimson light, it did not fire directly into the air. Instead, it instantly conjured thousands of crimson eyes around its body, each eye the size of a manhole cover.

Then, just like the six-flower floating cannons that Valencia loved to use, these blood-red eyes also swept the air with blood-red beams, covering an airspace of at least 10,000 meters with dense firepower.

This completely stunned Tia and Dregran... Their short-distance teleportation couldn't immediately escape the coverage of the crimson ray, and long-distance teleportation required several seconds of preparation, but they simply didn't have those few seconds right now.

They could only quickly use magical shields to defend themselves, and Valensa also used a divine shield to assist in the defense, trying to avoid the damage from the crimson rays.

Unexpectedly, although this crimson ray was much thinner than the crimson light cannon from before, its penetrating and corrosive power was by no means weak.

Tia's magical shield was instantly shattered, forcing her to hide behind Valensa.

Valensa's Holy Light magic still had an effect against evil magic, but the amount of her Holy Light was much less than that of the Crimson Ray, and she could only barely protect herself and Tia.

So Dreigan was unlucky this time. Now that she was in a huge dragon form, she couldn't hide behind Valensa like Tia did after her magic shield was broken. She could only use her dragon scales to take the hit.

The result was that it simply couldn't withstand it... The pink dragon scales were instantly pierced by the blood light, causing Dreigan's dragon blood to stain the blue sky red and scream in pain. Even her beautiful butterfly-like wings were shot off in half, making her look extremely miserable.

Even more dangerously, this crimson ray is a continuous attack, and if Dregran continues to be hit by it, her life may be in danger.

Fortunately, Valencia had a quick thinking moment.

"Field, expand!"

Her domain doesn't provide a huge field bonus like the domains of Warcraft lords, but it's very useful simply as a domain.

It can divide the battlefield and disrupt the enemy's formation during chaotic battles, trap fast-moving enemies, hold off powerful enemies and cover their retreat, or hide inside to avoid attacks, like it does now.

Roar!

The carefully planned, deadly strike ultimately failed, enraging the crimson giant. He stomped his feet several times and roared to the sky, his body flashing with intense crimson light.

"Its existence... seems very unstable?"

While treating Dregran, who had transformed into human form, Valensa, who witnessed this scene, asked Tia in a consultative tone.

"Instability is normal."

Tia wasn't too surprised:

"The ancestral spirit ritual will definitely not be perfect in the end. This is just a forced fusion at the last moment... It is already a testament to its strong will to be able to maintain this state without collapsing."

"So, can we just hide here and wait for it to give up on its own?"

Valensa, clinging to a sliver of hope, said:

"This guy is ridiculously strong right now. I really don't want to fight him unless it's absolutely necessary."

"...That would be ideal, but I'm afraid it...maybe it'll be terrible!"

As Tia spoke, her expression changed, her teeth clenched and her fists tightened:

"We have to fight it to the death now."

Valensa's face was equally grim.

After realizing it couldn't reach Valensa and the others, the Crimson Giant sprang into action again. With a stride of at least 160 meters, it leaped out of the basin and headed south towards the Barrens.

That's the direction of the flange.

With the fighting strength of the border fortress, it is absolutely impossible to stop this monster... As long as it can enter the territory of Fran, it will definitely cause Fran heavy losses.

"……call."

In times of crisis, it is crucial for commanders to remain calm and collected.

Tia bit her tongue hard and pinched Valensa to maintain her composure, her mind racing as she considered a solution:

"Sending ordinary soldiers to fight such a formidable enemy is tantamount to sending them to their deaths. Even with the protection of a fortress, they are utterly vulnerable... I, in my capacity as the current head of the Britannia family, will inform the northern defenses to immediately evacuate the garrison there along with the civilians."

"Hmm... Next, we need to figure out how to defeat that big guy."

After making her first decision, Tia continued to ponder while using communication magic cards to directly contact her family members and issue commands:

"That terrifying power is beyond the capabilities of a single cultivator. Even if the headmaster and the Knights of Heroes came together, they could probably only hold it off temporarily... The intense aftershocks of the battle could cause even greater destruction! The only way to destroy it in one blow is..."

"A divine artifact of the Church of the Sun!"

Valensa picked up where Tia left off, as she too had been pondering a solution:

"However, even if it is a divine artifact of the Church, the divine artifacts here in Fran are not powerful enough. We must use the powerful divine artifacts from the Divine Continent that are used to deal with threats from outside the heavens... I cannot use those divine artifacts directly with my current level of authority. I must apply to Sister Zero first."

"Then go and apply for permission to use the artifact."

Tia answered without hesitation, then took a deep breath:

"And I... will try to buy you some time!"

Chapter 46 The Time I Most Like a Princess

"You're going to buy time? How are you going to do that? With the Requiem for the Labyrinth of Time?"

Valensa immediately shook her head:

"No... You haven't finished developing that spell yet, it might not be very effective and it's extremely dangerous. I can't agree to it."

"It's not the Requiem for the Labyrinth of Time, it's a different spell."

Tia quickly explained:

"This spell is not dangerous and is very powerful. The downside is that it can only be used once. I originally intended to save it for when we were fighting against the Central Continent Empire... but now it seems that I can't save it for that long."

But this is for the best; in a sense, it's most appropriate to let this spell shine in this battle.

"That's...ok."

Valensa knew there was no time to waste, and no room for hesitation or argument, so she chose to trust Tia.

She immediately reclaimed her domain, contacted the Divine Continent through the Faith Circuit, and requested Saintess Zero to use a powerful artifact to remotely eliminate the Crimson Giant, the incarnation of the Great Chieftain of the Wild Beasts.

Tia, Nana, and Dregran headed south in pursuit, determined to stop the Crimson Giants from entering Farron territory before Valenza's artifact preparations were complete.

Having suffered from the dense crimson rays before, Tia and the others were extremely cautious, not daring to approach the crimson giant easily. They basically attacked from a distance of more than 10 kilometers using magic, and quickly retreated as soon as they sensed the crimson giant's intention to retaliate, much like how the Radiant Beasts, terrified by the nuclear bomb, fought Valensa.

The tactics were cowardly, but effective.

That dense crimson ray that can cover a range of 10,000 meters can only cover a range of 10,000 meters. As long as you maintain a sufficient distance, there is no need to worry.

The crimson light cannon that annihilated the undead legion in one strike was powerful and had a long range, but the energy buildup before firing was also very obvious, giving them ample time to dodge.

But the good times don't last long.

After realizing he couldn't do anything to the distant 'little flies,' the crimson giant pounded his chest twice like an angry gorilla, then simply ignored Tia and the others, ignoring the various spells hitting him, and continued charging headlong towards Fran.

Now it was Tia and the others' turn to be at a loss... The Crimson Giant's 300-meter-tall size wasn't particularly agile, but its resistance was absolutely top-notch, making it a true being that could take a bath in the center of a nuclear explosion.

After it completely ignored all of Tia and Dregran's spells, Tia and Dregran's spells really couldn't stop it.

The stone peak created by earth magic was directly smashed.
