Chapter 116 – Bloody Winds and Wild Waves Part 2
The mist surged from behind the heretical array, like clouds covering the earth, instantly enveloping most of the battlefield, turning everything into a hazy white that made it almost impossible to see anything.
All I could hear was the clashing of weapons, the cries of battle, and the screams of pain. The elite cavalry in the forefront was quickly swallowed by the thick fog, completely severed from the infantry and cavalry behind them. Flames raged in their direction, with explosions one after another, shaking the entire ground.
Damn…
I reacted swiftly, releasing a chill aura around me, expanding my vision. The nearby knights became visible, but their advance was halted by the fog further away. The knights stood there indecisively. On the high slopes behind us, chaotic shouts and strange cries were approaching. The two heretical forces that had planned to encircle us had already turned around and charged forward. The tide of battle seemed to have been reversed in an instant.
Damn it…
I couldn’t see where the person who released the mist was, but he must be at the rear of the formation.
What should I do?
“Isaac—”
The bald head seemed to charge even faster than me. I hadn’t seen him for a while. My heart raced as I shouted loudly in the chaos, my frail voice drowned out by the battlefield’s clamor, like cotton floating on water, unseen. But someone behind me shouted clearly with a thunderous voice, “Lady Silviga!”
I turned around and saw Safirros riding a rhinoceros beast, leading people galloping over: “Light of Mafa! Shoot the Light of Mafa toward the sky! Inform His Holiness and the Faithful Order of your position—”
That’s right!
My eyes lit up.
In the chaotic battlefield, no one knew where anyone else was. Earlier, Angel mentioned using some wind miracle to assist me from behind, increasing the spread of the frost mist. I had to let him know my location.
I pulled out a golden orb from my collar, throwing it forcefully into the air. With a flash of gold, a dazzling light shot upward, piercing through the mist above my head. I squinted slightly, and in the next moment, blue light flashed in my eyes. The frost aura rapidly sprayed outwards, diffusing around me. Safirros rode past nearby, waving his arms to the surrounding knights, “Spread out! Spread out! Stay farther away from this side—”
Woo—
A muffled horn sounded from behind. Soon after, ethereal chanting came from the north, followed by brilliant lights bursting forth from the dense fog. The light was incredibly intense, piercing through the white mist, almost blinding.
Under the halo of light, I turned back, focusing on driving the order force within me. The cold aura continuously flowed outward. The muddy grass beneath my feet, the countless knights circling around me, everything in my field of vision was covered with a thin layer of frost. Glittering ice crystals filled the air. The dense fog ahead was dissipating at a visible rate.
Huu—
A gentle breeze blew through the knights’ cheers and shouts, reaching my ears and front, stirring the grass leaves. The wind grew stronger, and in an instant, my black hair was blown from behind to in front, fluttering wildly in my line of sight. Ice crystals swirled forward in the wind, spreading through the dense fog, forming a cold current.
“Kill these hypocritical knights!”
“Surround them—”
Amidst the fog ahead, the heretics regrouped after being scattered by the elite cavalry. Shouts and footsteps approached rapidly. In the next moment, a fierce wind roared before my eyes.
The wind, sweeping across half the wilderness, suddenly whipped through the dense fog, stirring the cold currents, blowing towards the city walls. The fierce gusts made people sway, and their clothes flapped violently. Fortunately, the road was still moist, so it didn’t stir up sand, but it still made it hard to open one’s eyes.
The cold current howled across the grassland, blowing away the distant fog and condensing into exquisite rime, covering the grass and trees. The visibility instantly increased, and the heretics swaying in the wind from a hundred meters away became clear.
It’s done!
Woo—
The war horn sounded again. Safiros, whose eyebrows were frosted with thin ice, exhaled white vapor as he rode on the beast, raising his sword to roar, “Form ranks—!”
Clang clang clang clang clang!
Golden shields were set up dozens of meters ahead, forming a line in the open field. The knights stood in formation behind those holding the shields. With a synchronized “swish” sound, countless sharp lances thrust forward through the gaps between the shields. In the next moment, the heretics rushed forward in droves, their bodies burning with infernal flames colliding with the lances and being pierced through.
A massive force surged forward, and the knights shouted loudly, pressing down on the butt ends of their lances, bending the shafts. Blood and fire sprayed out. Some were burned by the infernal flames, emitting animal-like roars, while many were knocked away. In the next moment, the divine light of healing rained down from the sky.
The strong wind continued to howl, the thick fog gradually dissipating amidst the chaos. The figures of the elite riders reappeared in the distance. Already heavily surrounded due to their overly advanced positions, they fought fiercely in the flames. In a fleeting glance, I saw Isaac transform into a golden meteor, crashing down towards the most intense flames below. Amidst the blazing inferno, another towering figure raised his blade above his head, blocking this thunderous strike—
Boom!
Amidst the huge thud, a mud-streaked figure was sent soaring high into the air.
The frost mist had already spread; I could go over to provide support…
Bam!
The instant an ice pillar rose beneath my feet, my petite body had already leaped high, passing over the battlefield where the knights and heretics were fighting. I stepped on the ice platform, moving like I was jumping in mid-air, dragging the icy wind and frost, rushing towards the direction of the elite riders.
The tailwind increased my speed. With each step of Moonwalk, my figure became almost invisible to the naked eye. The distance of nearly a thousand meters was covered in an instant. The sound of Isaac engaging in battle could be clearly heard from below. The destructive power of the two massive men was nearly sweeping everything within dozens of meters around them, leaving no one daring to approach.
Not far south of the battlefield, the elite riders who had penetrated deep into enemy lines were fighting bloody battles, surrounded by countless heretics. Corpses piled up around them, rivers of blood flowed, and the light of miracles rose and fell. The giant beast’s horns continuously tossed aside the charging enemies, with explosions shaking the ears. A knight fell in the midst of the raging flames.
Where should I go first…
My body was rapidly descending. Just as I hesitated, I suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from the rear of the enemy formation to the south. In the next moment, a scarlet fiery ball streaked toward me at great speed, almost reaching my eyes. My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately swung my left hand, spraying frost mist beside me. Then, using the push, I dodged to the right, the fireball whistling past my ear and heading towards my back.
It’s him!
I reacted immediately. The person attacking me must be the same one who attacked me earlier on the wall—I’m sure of it—the one with such infernal powers, he is truly a third-stage heretic!
He might even be the Joker…
My body was still falling in mid-air, with howling winds in my ears. I squinted, quickly scanning the crowd below, and then spotted a suspicious black-clad figure surrounded by heretics in the rear of their formation.
He lifted his head, his gaze like that of a hawk, staring straight at me, his mouth… revealing a cold smile.
…I’ve found you.
“Joker—”
The ice platform condensed, and Moonwalk sped out. A frail yet powerful cry echoed in the air. The figure, holding a deadly weapon, her dress fluttering, paused for a moment at a height of over twenty meters before transforming into a shocking cannonball, carrying a rolling cold current, diving straight down into the depths of the enemy formation!
