Chapter 789: The Bright Moon Ritual
Dark shadows whistled down from the night, and they opened their mouths, revealing their sharp fangs and claws. But then the spinning exploding bomb brutally and mercilessly rushed into their bodies, and then easily tore them from the inside and exploded into a spark of flesh and blood.
"Enemy attack!!"
As darkness fell, the most difficult moment for the coalition forces finally appeared. During the day, the undead can be shielded from some sunlight through the mist, but at least their air force is not available. But when night falls, those Bone Griffins and other air units will join forces with the Bone Guardian Corps on the ground to launch an all-round three-dimensional attack on Lian, in this case. The pressure on the coalition forces is very great, and there is already a gap in strength and numbers between the two sides, which is another important reason why the coalition forces are losing and retreating.
And it was at this time that the elves finally showed their usefulness.
"Shoot, shoot!!"
The holy pillar of light once again rose into the sky, illuminating the battlefield in front of them, and then the elves were seen to raise their longbows, which had been blessed by divine magic, and began to shoot at the enemy in front of them. While the elves aren't as strong as paladins and other clerics in ground combat, no one is better at attacking air targets. While monsters such as skeleton griffins and gargoyles are just as difficult to deal with, every arrow fired by the elves can easily penetrate the gaps between their bones and armor, destroying the soul cores hidden within.
But even so, it was still too difficult to stop this undead legion.
"Drink, ahhhhh
Ellie shouted angrily and stepped forward. She raised the scepter in her hand with all her might, then swung it forward. I saw the movements accompanied by Ellie. The orb of light, the size of a human head, to which the tip of the scepter was attached, flew out with a "whoosh" and slammed into the head of a massive abomination. Almost immediately, the power of purity and sanctity opened a hole in the abomination head. Before the poisonous gas and blood spurted out, the dazzling white light emanated from the body of the abomination, completely reducing it to a pile of ashes.
And the saintess who killed an undead creature that needed a paladin squad to deal with in an instant did not stop because of this. Instead, the scepter in her hand swung up and down again. The ball of light, which seemed to be connected to the scepter by an invisible thread, fell heavily to the ground. For a while, I only heard a loud "boom", and the ball of light that smashed on the ground suddenly caused a violent shaking of the earth level, and then I saw a gap in light spreading out from the ball of light in all directions. And all the undead creatures who came into contact with the divine light didn't even have time to let out a wail, and just silently disappeared into the holy light, and when Ellie withdrew the ball of light. The scepter in her hand was already a little more dazzling than before.
This is the powerful power of the staff of guidance, the artifact in Ellie's hand. It is not an artifact designed to destroy the undead, but it has considerable power and effects. That is, as long as the bearer is determined, has a clear goal and direction when holding the scepter, and successfully harms it. The amount of power consumed to use this artifact will be filled, and even increase depending on the number of enemies destroyed. Because of this, in the face of the countless undead army in front of her, Ellie didn't care at all, because she didn't worry about the artifact in her hand at all because of the depletion of power, as long as this staff of guidance was still in her hand. As long as she knows what she wants to do, then the power will continue to flow -- and she will not lose!!
"I didn't see any vampires........."
Once again, he detonated the Starlight Arrow, completely destroying the undead monsters in front of him that were as headaches as flies. Jenny took the moment to look up and glance at the sky. In the light of the holy light, they could be seen attacking them from the sky, mostly skeleton griffins, with occasional gargoyles. But the most important vampire species were not seen. It seems that the aftermath of that battle is already being felt. I'm afraid it's to show his stance to the Nether Princess, so Klein has forbidden the vampires from participating in this battle. After all, the Blood Queen's divine envoy had just happened before. If Klein lets the vampires go to war again, I'm afraid the Nether Princess will have to talk to him for tea and dinner.
Although the absence of the vampire species is excellent news for the coalition forces. But the current situation is not much better, Jennifer knows very well that Klein chose today because today is the day of the Blood Moon, and the attacks of vampires and undead under the Blood Moon will be stronger than usual. Although the moon had only just risen, and it was still as silvery white as ever, Jenny knew very well that this was just the beginning.
And Viconia ............
Thinking of this, Jenny couldn't help but look at the elves' defense. At this moment, most of the elves had already stepped back and began to strike at the undead in the air. But their front was not without barriers, and the towering trees were moving their bodies slowly but firmly, forming an almost impregnable line of defense. The trees swung their thick branches, smashing anything that dared to stand in their way. Even the heavily armored Death Knights didn't get much to gain, they only had time to swing their greatswords and leave a few scratches on the surface that was harder than their armor, and then they were smashed flat like cans, and there was no way to fight anymore.
Viconia was not fighting on the front line like the others, on the contrary, she was standing behind the line with the three elves at the moment, as if some ritual was being performed. Although Viconia didn't say much, Jenny knew exactly what they were doing.
It was the Bright Moon Ritual.
Jenny had to admit that Viconia really had some ideas. The Bright Moon Ritual is a ritual in which elves seek strength and help from the goddess of the forest. It can only be activated when the full moon is empty. Although today is the night of the Blood Moon, it is not impossible to communicate with the Goddess of the Forest before the Moon transforms into a Blood Moon. It's obvious. Viconia wanted to use her special powers as a god to summon and enlist the help of Melicay, the goddess of the forest.
I have to say. It's a good idea, but it's not an egg.
Come to think of it. Jenny glanced around, then turned and sped towards the center of the camp.
"Miss Jenny, how's it going!?"
Compared to other regions, the central part of the defense line where Ellie is stationed is relatively stable, after all, there is Patilina as a big killer here. Although there are a lot of undead creatures in the air, for Patilina, it is only a problem that can be solved by a few bursting bullets. Although the size of the undead is certainly much smaller than that of a fighter, on the other hand, the light and shock waves that even a space fighter can easily destroy cannot be withstood by anything.
"It's normal at the moment. The elves are still working hard, and they have summoned the Treant Leader to help defend it, and so far it has been in good shape. And what ceremony is Her Royal Highness the princess performing in the back, according to my opinion, she should be holding the Haoyue ceremony. ”
"The Bright Moon Ritual?"
Hearing this, Ellie frowned, and then immediately reacted.
"She's going to summon the goddess of the forest here?"
"That's how it should be."
"This ..............."
Hearing Jenny's answer, Ellie couldn't help but hesitate. She didn't expect Viconia to be so decisive and choose to summon divine power on the battlefield. This is not an easy task. Generally speaking, it is best to choose to perform the ritual of Kamui summoning in the rear, because this kind of ritual that requires communication with the gods cannot be interfered with in the slightest. If something goes wrong, it's easy to have all sorts of problems. But she didn't expect Viconia to choose to summon directly on the battlefield......... Is that really okay?
Come to think of it. Ellie couldn't help but waver. To be honest, although she had already made up her mind to stop the undead in front of her at all costs. But when she learns that Viconia is going to summon the goddess of the forest. Ellie's heart was still shaken. After all, she was still the kind-hearted saint, in Ellie's opinion. If you can summon the goddess of the forest to solve the problem, then your plan will naturally not be used. If that's the case......... So that doesn't seem bad too?
But here's the problem............ Will Viconia really be in time?
Viconia didn't know what Ellie was thinking. But even if she knew, she didn't have time to answer now. After all, even she doesn't know the answer to this question.
"Our great goddess, Lord of nature, please listen to my call, I am here, with my soul, my life, to pray to you and ask for your answer........."
Surrounded by three elven priests, Viconia fell to her knees, clasped her hands to her chest, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself. With her spiritual sense activated, she could feel the angry roars of the undead coming from all directions, their soul light raging like a prairie fire, and even the moonlight in the sky was about to be obscured by it. But at this moment, Viconia did not dare to be careless, all she could do was to do everything in her power to communicate with the gods she believed in, and longed for her to pay attention to the situation here because of her call.
God is not omniscient and omnipotent, and even the most ardent cultists know this. Don't look at the gods on top of them, but there are many things they don't pay attention to at all. It's like a construction simulation game where you can choose to build a Sim city with a population of 100,000 on a piece of land, but will you pay attention to how everyone in every unit, organization, and group in this Sim City lives?
Of course not, only when the system tells you where there is a fire, where a crime has occurred, where there is a problem, will the player move their attention to there and think about how to solve the problem.
Now, what Viconia has done is "system prompt". As long as she can succeed in getting the forest goddess to pay attention to her, then it is half the battle.
Thinking of this, Viconia raised her head and glanced at the night sky in front of her.
The silvery moon has risen to the middle of the moon at this moment.
Right now, it's the time of the Blood Moon. (To be continued.) )
