*Cough cough!*
Intentionally putting on a serious look—since the priestess herself didn’t have any strange thoughts, it was all due to the overly dramatic reaction of Dorina—Violet cleared her throat twice and calmly spoke.
“Your na is Dorina, right? Not to ntion, with your limited skills, you could barely handle two or three Abyss creatures in a one-on-one fight. Now you’ve even lost your staff, what’s the use of rushing down?”
*Groan!*
The winged girl, with a red face, stiffened for a mont, and for so reason, her expression beca sowhat resentful. Perhaps Violet had touched so strange switch just now. Dorina’s attitude towards the priestess seed to have undergone so subtle changes.
“Ugh... Miss Violet, you’re so rude! Well, although what you said is true, I dragged down the captain all this ti... But as a mber of the team, how could I just stand by when everyone else was fighting hard?”
“If Teacher Kama, who returned to the embrace of the Goddess of Freedom, saw this, she’d co down and kick my ass!”
“....?”
It felt like there were a lot of déjà vu and plot holes in these sentences.
Violet decided to ignore them.
“Alright, alright, don’t look like you’re about to burst into tears. You’re making it seem like I’m bullying you. Dorina, let ask you, was this your first ti fighting Abyss Worms?”
“Huh?”
The scholarly-looking white-winged girl tilted her head, and then, for so reason, her eyes gradually dimd.
“To be honest, it’s actually the second ti. Three years ago, there was a massive invasion of Abyss creatures in the Eastern island ruins. It was even more intense than this ti, with over a thousand Abyss creatures appearing. It was the first place where the legendary monster, Abyss Worm, descended.”
“In that battle, Her Majesty deployed over three hundred White Wings, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and an entire Silver Feather Mage Corps. It took a whole half-month to completely annihilate the enemies erging from the Abyss. Our team was also involved, but in the final battle to besiege the Abyss Worm, Teacher Kama still...”
At this point, Dorina suddenly seed startled, cutely covering her mouth and not speaking further.
“Is that so...”
It seems there’s a hidden story, but it’s probably an internal issue within the winged people, or more specifically, within Sigrid’s team. Violet has no intention of delving deeper.
She has more important things on her mind.
“So, how did you kill the Abyss Worm back then?”
It’s a straightforward question.
If the Abyss Worm has truly reached a level above transcendent, coupled with the characteristics of Abyss creatures, unless the Winged Emperor himself, who is also transcendent, personally intervenes, it’s almost impossible to kill such a monster with just a group of winged people and a few legends.
In the large-scale battle three years ago that Dorina ntioned, the Winged Emperor probably didn’t personally appear, otherwise, she would definitely have ntioned it.
As expected, the girl looked anxiously at the battlefield below and, seeing no signs of defeat for the ti being, shook her head as if denying sothing.
“We didn’t kill that worm. Its regenerative ability was too strong. Even if we trapped it with a barrier, taking turns to wear it down for two days and nights, it still showed no signs of fatigue, instead causing us heavy losses. Helpless, Kama, who was in command at the ti, had to gather the entire strength of the Mage Corps and unleash a simulated forbidden curse to destroy it directly.”
“However, just as we were ready, and the forbidden curse was about to be completed, a terrifying pillar of crimson light rose from the abyss below, preemptively obliterating the trapped worm.”
“You an... a crimson pillar of light? Could it be...”
Dorina reluctantly nodded, for so reason, she seed unwilling to recall the scene from back then.
“Yeah, it’s said to be similar to the chain disasters that occurred when Abyss creatures first appeared, but I haven’t seen how those islands were destroyed, so I can’t make a specific judgnt.”
Indeed... there’s a problem here.
Why would the Abyss prefer to actively destroy its own forces rather than see that worm killed by the winged people? Is it afraid that the body will be dissected, revealing so secrets? Or could there be so other reason?
Most importantly...
If this worm is also on the brink of death, will it also bring out the so-called “crimson beam of light” that the priestess has been curious about from the beginning?
Hehe, might as well give it a try.
Suppressing the smirk that flashed across her lips, the black-haired girl quietly spoke a few words to the dragon girl beside her using telepathy. After the latter nodded and left reluctantly, she turned her attention to the white-winged mage who was anxiously watching the battlefield below.
“Dorina, I know you really want to help Sigrid and the others. Since I’m not good at direct combat, how about this? With , a priestess, supporting you, shall we work together to deal with that big bug?”
“Huh? Miss Violet, supporting ...? It would be great if you could join the fight, but I don’t have my staff now...”
Soone boldly waved her small hand!
“No problem! That thing isn’t important. Just release magic directly without the staff, but rember not to use magic with too much power.”
If she dies too quickly, it could be troubleso for the Abyss to react.
“???”
The winged girl was full of question marks, but before she could speak again, Violet had already unceremoniously approached, grabbing her hand and pointing it at the huge insectoid figure below.
【Shared Battle Covenant】, link!
“Ugh!”
Used countless tis before, the skill that had beco so familiar was instantly applied to the temporary teammate at her side. An endless sense of power filled every inch of Dorina’s body, leading her to climb one peak after another, feeling so good that she almost moaned!
Sky, legend, transcendence!
“What are you still standing there for? Get to work!”
The once unimaginable state of ultimate strength, now effortlessly placed beneath her feet, surged with an almost overflowing colossal magic power. The fragrance and whispers of the girl beside her, combined with the sensation of a slightly embarrassed Dorina, naturally prompted her to unleash her most familiar magic.
“Rockfall!”
As the most versatile second-tier basic skill in sky magic, this skill could only summon small rocks with a diater not exceeding 50 centiters, often used as ergency materials. However, at this mont, defying Dorina’s imagination, it called forth gigantic stones even larger than its advanced skill, teor Shower, with a volu exceeding ten tis!
Carrying a heavy montum and a thunderous roar, it, with the acceleration provided by gravity and magic, charged straight towards the massive head of the Abyss Worm!
“Hiss!!!”
Feeling the threat from above, the giant worm emitted a roar with an indiscernible aning, swiftly moving several ters sideways at a speed completely inconsistent with its size. It resisted the full-force spear thrown by Sigrid, shaking its head with the solid giant pincers, directly smashing the rockfall summoned by Dorina.
However, it clearly underestimated the density and hardness of the rockfall released by Dorina, who had already reached the transcendence level under the Shared Battle Covenant. The Abyss Worm was instantly stunned for seconds by the counteracting force.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
Exploiting such a huge loophole, three phantom spears thrown by Sigrid pierced into the head of the Abyss Worm, causing it to roll violently in pain!
