89. The Goddess of Ice, Snow and Winter

God descends is the last hole card that Sean has.

This hole card was originally intended to be used by Sean in the war against Dabiang, after all, Dabion's command has a far superior Sanctuary powerhouse, once all these Sanctuary powerhouses are put into the war to implement decapitation tactics, the southern battlefield controlled by Sean will inevitably fall apart completely, so Shephaño, who has the ability to descend, will naturally become the decisive chess that Sean is ready to use to turn things around.

It's just that I didn't expect that because Andrew's full intervention completely accelerated the fall of the Dabiang Kingdom, Sean's hole card was saved. Of course, there is also the hole card of Heatley, the holy woman from the Church of Life, - in fact, even the top management of the Church of Life does not know that Heatley has signed a contract with Sean on behalf of the Goddess of Life.

It's just that this contract can only be used on the battlefield.

So in the current environment where the situation is determined by high-end combat power, Sean's only hole card is Shephaño.

"Roar!"

Edward let out a furious roar, struggling to break free from the divine power brought by Ace Wintertle.

It was obviously an empty scene, but it was as if they heard the clanging sound of iron chains shaking, and then in everyone's field of vision, they saw a transparent chain made of unknown material wrapped around Edward's body. The chains seemed to come from the void, and no one could see where the other end of the chains came from except for the part that was wrapped around Edward's body, but Edward struggled so hard. It's obvious that it's not easy to break free from these chains.

Divinity. Sinners are bound.

This is one of the unique talents possessed by the gods.

To put it simply, this kind of chain is actually a manifestation of the coercive momentum of the gods. Of course, in fact, there is not only such a form as chains. Rather, there are a variety of concrete expressions, which mainly have different symbols according to the preferences of the gods.

Under the entanglement of the chains, Edward struggled harder, and was bound more and more tightly, so that he even had to half-kneel to the ground in the back.

And Shephaño, or rather, the goddess of ice and winter, Eswintertle walked towards Edward without stopping.

Her steps weren't fast. But the sound of each step is as clear as the drumbeat on the battlefield, and there is even a shock from the soul. Everyone present, when they heard Ace Wintertle's footsteps. There was an inexplicable fanatical excitement in their hearts, as if their strength was beginning to become endless, and they had an eager desire to attack Edward.

Divine grace. Fanatical faith.

This is a special ability that belongs to the priesthood.

Ace Winter was able to possess some of the godly abilities belonging to the god of war not because she was lucky enough, but because she did have extremely strong combat abilities. Even at the beginning of the Dawn Age, the so-called creation of the coexistence of all gods. Eswinterl is also one of the top gods in the realm of the gods who are in charge of fighting. And in that glorious era, she even had the great feat of beating the god of war Argusen, the god of war in the truest sense of the word.

Dealing with a guy who probably isn't even a quasi-demon god, it's a bit of a stretch to get Ace Winter to take action.

So, at this time, Ace Winter was very angry.

With the rise and fall of her footsteps like the beat of a drum, the earth seemed to be filled with invisible vibrations.

"Roar!"

Edward let out a terrifying roar again, and blue flames were even beginning to burn on his body. The transparent chains from the void continued to make sizzling noises under the scorching blue fire, and the burning white mist visible to the naked eye continued to emerge from Edward's body, and this time those transparent chains seemed to be unable to resist such an attack. began to melt one after another.

In a few seconds, Edward would probably be able to break free from these chains.

Ace Winter snorted. The chains that wrapped around Edward's body instantly became much thicker and thicker. At the same time, the slashing blade on her right hand, the artifact named Ice Rin, also began to tremble, and the already crystal-like sword body was quickly filled with dark blue brilliance, and the color began to thicken, and then frost white mist emanated from the sword body, and in the blink of an eye, even Ace Wintertle's entire body began to emit white ice mist visible to the naked eye.

A strong sense of crisis instantly surged into Edward's heart.

Then the next moment, Eswinterl raised the ice in her hand, and in her eyes as black as the abyss, Edward's figure was suddenly reflected - this is a unique effect of the skill, of course, it is used by Eswintertle, the goddess of ice and winter, not to add the prefix of divine power, that is, the prefix of divine grace.

This time, Edward no longer felt a sense of crisis, but a strong fear of death.

I saw that Eswintert didn't drag the slightest mud and water, and the right hand holding the ice suddenly swung down - the distance between her and Edward was obviously more than twenty meters, but with the slash of this sword, a blue light like a match instantly crossed the distance of more than twenty meters and slashed down on Edward's body. The strong storm air suddenly swept out in all directions from the center of Edward's circle, and a huge diameter spider web crack appeared on the ground in an instant, and a large amount of ice chips turned into blue-white dust particles that spewed out from the cracks and floated in the air.

Blue blood spurted out of Edward's body like a blowout.

However, Ace Wintertle's brow furrowed slightly.

The touch of the blow just now was slightly different from the perception that Ace Winter remembered. She had indeed been asleep for a long time, but as one of the top figures in the Dawn Age and one of the main wars in the Ragnarok era, many instincts could even be said to be completely integrated into her blood—the gods were all living beings in this world before they became gods.

So in this instant, Ace Winter knew. One of his own swords has been missed.

Failed to cut off Edward's head as he wished.

"Everybody stand down!"

Accompanied by Ace Wintertle's loud shout, although the voice was as crisp as a silver bell, the urgency hidden in the voice was also extremely obvious.

The surrounding Sanctuary powerhouses. They are all talents who have really grown up in countless battles, so the response is naturally not slow. As soon as they heard Ace Wintertle's voice, they almost didn't have to think about it, and immediately chose to retreat, although they didn't know how far to retreat, but they all believed in one principle: that is, when the anxiety in their hearts disappeared, it was a truly safe distance.

As a result, everyone distanced themselves from Edward at the center of the storm for more than a few hundred meters.

The next second. The blue flames were like lotus flowers, blooming throughout the battlefield in an instant. Originally, it was just a small area of burning, but soon the fire began to spread throughout the battlefield. Just like the fire, it covered a radius of more than a few hundred meters, which happened to be the range of all the Sacred Domain powerhouses retreating—the spread of these flames was extremely fast, exactly like the flames ignited in the fire oil, if it weren't for the fact that the Sacred Domain powerhouses reacted and were fast enough. I'm afraid that I will also be engulfed by these blue flames.

Just look at the scorching of these blue flames. Even the hard ice crystals that were condensed by Eswinter's breath and comparable to the realm of her god kingdom turned into a blue liquid and evaporated into the air. You can fully imagine what will happen to someone once they are contaminated by these flames.

At this moment, the only one who dares to stand in this flame is Ace Wintertle.

But even the goddess of snow and winter did not dare to step on these flames with both feet. Instead, he stood on a platform that was completely condensed and raised by ice.

The blue flames from Edward's body constantly tried to erode the platform on which Ace Winter was standing, but Ace Winter did not give the other party such a chance at all. Where the blue flame begins to climb towards this icicle. Those spots that were contaminated with flames would explode into countless shards and fall, and then the icicles, which seemed to be weakened, would quickly condense new ice crystals again at a speed visible to the naked eye, ensuring that the icicles would not be completely consumed.

It's just that everyone present knows that whether it is flame or ice crystals, it needs to consume the strength of both sides to maintain, once one of them can't fill this consumption rate, then it will completely fall into the upper hand in this sudden transformation of the war of attrition, and it may even be the other party to take the initiative.

Once it falls into such an outcome, then for Edward, it is the end of death; But even if it is Eswintertle, there may be many Sanctuary powerhouses watching, and her inheritance descendant Shephaño will not be killed on the spot, but it is inevitable that the vitality will be seriously injured and even affect the combat power for a long time in the future.

Therefore, at this moment, no matter who you are, you will not easily choose to give up, but will only squeeze out all the potential in your body and release it completely!

But Sean knew very well that in such a war of attrition, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Ace Wintertle.

Although the Divine Descent is the ultimate skill of the clergy, and can even play a decisive role in turning the tide in many cases, it usually means that it is already the last resort.

In the game, if the player has enough luck and strength, then of course, he can also learn the magic skill of "God Descent" through the lengthy task chain. But in fact, this skill is more often only used as a "strategic nuclear weapon" to threaten others, not to mention its scary-long CD cooldown, just the punishment after the use of the skill is not something that ordinary people can bear, especially for high-level players.

And the display of this skill also has a certain relationship with its own strength.

Like Shefanio, she is now only a half-step Sacred Domain's strength, although she can indeed reach the peak of the lower Sacred Domain or even the combat power of the middle Sacred Domain after casting the Divine Descent, but in the process, she also has to constantly suffer the spiritual impact caused by the coercion from Eswinter, and at the same time, there are various consumption from the body - even if she is a direct bloodline descendant of Eswintertle, this influence and oppression are unavoidable, just reduced to a minimum.

So the longer it lasts, the greater the price Shefanio will have to pay. And once the limit of the critical point is reached, then every second of Eswinter's existence in this world will directly cause an irreparable loss of life essence to Shefanio.

To put it simply. It's a longevity.

This is also the reason why many clergy of the church will die completely after performing the divine descent-the vast majority of people can't even hold out a ten-minute high-attrition war, and those who can maintain a high-attrition war for thirty minutes are basically already at the level of the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden.

If Shefanio's strength was stronger and she really stepped into the realm of the Sanctuary, then she might be able to sustain it for a longer period of time—even if it was a battle that was far beyond the definition of a "war of attrition" at the moment, it could at least last for more than half a day. Because for the real powerhouses, the battle time of individual confrontation is usually relatively short. It's rare to fight for days on a row like a team-sized local conflict, unless it's an evenly matched entanglement battle.

"Can you control these flames?" Sean turned his head. Looking at Cecilia.

Perhaps because Edward had to concentrate on dealing with Ace Wintertle, the flames burning on the ground were no longer as vast as they were, but the area covered was still more than a hundred meters. In this environment, even the surrounding Sanctuary powerhouses did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to avoid touching these flames. Attack Edward. After all, this is actually in Edward's domain.

And the battle between the realms of the powerhouses of the Sacred Domain has always been extremely dangerous, and if there is a slight mistake, it is easy to fall into a situation from which there will be no return.

Originally, Eswinterl was holding Edward back at the moment, which should be an excellent opportunity to attack, but because Edward's field was too difficult, everyone was a little helpless, and they could only watch such a beautiful opportunity be missed like this, and there should be no regrets and entanglements. That's obviously impossible. But for a war like Edward and Ace Wintertle, it is obviously easy to play with fire and set himself on fire if he intervenes rashly. Therefore, the powerhouses of the Holy Domain who were present could only choose to watch from the sidelines.

Knowing this too, it's not just those Sacred Realm powerhouses, Sean also knows that this is a great opportunity.

That's why he's asking Cecilia.

After all, if there was anyone present who could help Eswinter play a role in restraining Edward, it was Cecilia, who had phoenix blood.

Cecilia closed her eyes for a moment, then opened her eyes and shook her head: "The elementals refuse to come close, these flames are not made of the elements, so I can't control them. ”

Sean nodded slightly, and his gaze fell back on the flame that burned like a blue sun in the field.

The blue flames released from Edward's body did not only create a realm that covered the surrounding area, but it also enveloped Edward in it, giving him a certain protective effect. It's just that based on Sean's game experience, he can surmise that Edward is now hiding in those abyssal ice flames to repair the wounds caused by Ace Winter just now, and once he is allowed to repair it, then the advantage that Ace Winter has won so hard just now will probably be lost.

After thinking about it for a while, Sean finally decided to take the risk, as a player known for his opportunism, Sean really couldn't give up such an opportunity at the moment. So he could only choose to help Ace Wintertle, because his intuition told Sean that Eswinterl had not given up the war of attrition with Edward at this time, and was waiting for an opportunity to make a move, as long as she mastered this opportunity, then she would definitely be able to hit Edward again.

"Gollum!" Sean called out to Gollum inwardly.

Gollum blocked Edward's blow for him just now, but he didn't know where he was beaten, but Sean knew that the soul connection between him and Gollum had not been broken, so Gollum was definitely not dead yet.

After calling several times in succession, from the depths of the soul consciousness, Gollum's response finally came, but judging from the information of the soul band, this time even Gollum was probably seriously injured.

"Can you still move?"

"Goo-lur-" Although the breath sounded faint, the fighting spirit was still strong.

"Can you give that old guy a surprise attack?" Sean asked unconsciously.

After a few seconds of silence, Gollum finally got an affirmative answer. So Sean didn't waste any more time, relying on his soul connection with Gollum. Sean stood on the ground and began to locate and navigate Gollum, feeling Gollum's movement underground, Sean continued to help him correct its position. At this moment, even he could already feel that Xuefanio's body was about to reach a critical point, and if he didn't solve this current dilemma quickly, then Xuefanio would definitely need to consume his life force as the price of summoning the gods.

It seems that he sensed an unknown danger, or for the blue flame released by Edward who could not attack Ace Winter for a long time, it became more violent, which naturally intensified Ace Winter's divine power consumption. In fact, if it weren't for the protection of Sean and Cecilia and the others just now. With Eswintertle's strength, he would definitely not fall into such a situation where he needed to fight a war of attrition.

Feeling Gollum getting closer and closer to Edward's position, Sean finally let out a cry in his heart: "It's now!" ”

Gollum, who gathered the last strength of his body, heard Sean's instructions at the moment. Without hesitation, he sprinted towards the ground. I saw a golden light suddenly break through the ground from the ground, and then shoot directly through the blue flames enveloping Edward from the inside to the outside, and suddenly a miserable roar burst out from the fire, and the blue flames surrounding Edward's body also instantly distorted. Then it exploded into countless blue fire spots. It was like a blue rain in all directions.

The blue flame that burned extremely vigorously on the ground also seemed to have suddenly lost its fuel, and quickly dried up and disappeared, leaving only the ground full of blue, yellow, and brown to form a glass-like crystalline ground—the result of high-temperature combustion.

However, almost at the moment when the blue flames exploded, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted simultaneously.

This breath naturally comes from Ace Wintertle.

As if to make a final decision, Ace Winter once again raised the artifact in her hand. But this time. The white mist wrapped around the sword's body appeared even more condensed, and these mist seemed to turn into a giant sword hundreds of meters high. Pointing straight to the sky. It was not so much that terrifying cold and awe-inspiring aura emanated from Eswintertle's body, but rather from this giant sword with a sword body of more than 100 meters alone - at this moment, no matter where you were in the royal capital of Lane, you could see this silver-white giant sword that could almost be said to pierce the sky!

Without the slightest hesitation, Eswinterl swung the greatsword again.

The originally condensed sword body quickly turned into a two-meter-high thick pillar of light in the process of swinging down, and then erupted from in front of Eswintertle, instantly slashing across the distance of hundreds of meters between her and Edward, and even crossed the entire seventh path of the kingdom with an unstoppable momentum, and even half of the wall of the Ryan Kingdom and the top of a tower were completely annihilated in this pillar of light.

An even louder roar of pain erupted from Edward's mouth.

But!

Seeing that half of Edward's body was about to be annihilated in this pillar of light, the pillar of light that shot out from in front of Eswinterle suddenly disappeared. Then, before everyone had time to react, Ace Wintertle's terrifying and powerful spiritual coercion completely disappeared from everyone's perception, if it weren't for the fact that the entire kingdom was completely frozen at this moment, and a section of the city wall and the top of a tower in the distant kingdom had completely disappeared, no one could believe that just a few seconds ago, there was a god here who was exerting power through the way of divine descending.

Although he was spared the complete annihilation of this divine light, Edward was obviously seriously injured at this time, not to mention that almost half of his body had turned bright red, and the blue blood continued to ooze out of the skin, and the huge wound that fell from his left shoulder to his right abdomen was enough to make everyone who saw this scene feel terrifying - this is the power of the artifact.

However, everyone's eyes did not rest on Edward's body, but on the place where the pillar of light disappeared - the location of Ace Wintertle.

Ace Winter had fallen to the ground, and her long, almost transparent light blue hair had reverted to blue. Although he couldn't see the color of his eyes because he was unconscious, everyone knew at this moment, even if he thought with his toes, that Shephaño had exhausted the power in his body, and Ace Winter could only forcibly interrupt the divine descent in order not to hurt Shefanio's roots.

The descent from Ace Winter is over!

In everyone's hearts, there is a regret at this time: as long as you hold on for a few more seconds, you can probably really wipe out Edward completely. But unfortunately, there has never been an if in this world, which may also show that Edward was not abandoned by the will of the world, so he was not completely crushed into powder in this pillar of light.

It's just that on the battlefield at this time, the first person to react was not Sean, but Wengers, who was the powerhouse of Ryan's town. Wilwage.

The powerhouse of the town country was actually using a brilliant silver-white spear, with some kind of extremely obvious and strong aura attached to it, and it was obvious that this was at least a weapon above the level of legendary.

Seeing the strong man attacking him, Edward's face showed extreme anger. If a god like Eswinterl came to trouble him, then of course he wouldn't say anything, after all, the demon god and the god were originally opposites, but being attacked by a mid-rank Sanctuary powerhouse was simply an insult to Edward, who now considered himself a demon god.

So his right hand stretched slightly, and a blue spark appeared in his palm, and then Edward walked towards Wengers without thinking about it. Wilwalch threw it over.

The blue fireball hadn't even hit Wengers yet. Wilwalch's body has already been blown up by someone in the air.

It was the Duke of Shab, who was the Sword of Lane, who struck out.

At the same time, the remaining Sacred Domain powerhouses on the field at this time finally began to choose to attack Edward one after another. If it was before, when Edward was in his heyday, they naturally wouldn't dare to make a rash move, but after a fierce battle with Ace Wintertle, the current Edward is already very reluctant to deal with the alliance of these Sanctuary powerhouses, how can he still have enough energy to distract himself from the endless attacks while continuing to cause trouble in the royal capital?

Among these Sanctuary powerhouses, the most ruthless and crazy shot was not Wengers, the powerhouse of Zhenguo. Wilwage or the Sword of Lane, Duke of Shabirth.

It's the Halberd of Thunder. Vivien. (To be continued......)
