Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 314 Valkyrie

The huge battlefield was silent for a moment, and a fear that did not distinguish between friend and foe quickly spread.

The strike of a sword in the midst of thousands of soldiers was like a flash of lightning. Even the victim could hardly sense the speed of death coming, which was enough to scare even the most battle-hardened heroes.

However, when the fear from instinct was slightly diluted and reason regained the upper hand, the Night Mage Corps and the Demigod Guards saw the figure of their lord clearly, and panic immediately turned into almost fanatical morale. They brandished swords and roared as they pressed back towards the group of monsters!

On the other side of the battlefield, although the mutant mages had lost their human perception and emotions, the controllers behind them had not - the moment the first central individual was cut into pieces, the other six fell into a panic-stricken daze.

And this short moment determines their life or death.

"two."

"three."

"Four."

The girl's indifferent chanting voice echoed from all directions, and Malenia's figure seemed to be completely annihilated in the crack of space at an extremely fast speed.

If you stand high up and look down, you can only see a bright red arc of light that instantly draws countless graceful tracks. All the targets she points to mysteriously lose all sound the moment her voice falls.

In just a breath, the fifth central entity was disconnected, and on an unused high-rise building hundreds of meters away, the controller finally recovered from his fear.

Looking at the group of monsters whose movements were visibly slowing down, he was filled with shock and anger. He did not care about the risk of exposing his true form, and tightly grasped the crystal ball in front of him, concentrating all his mental strength to release an extremely strong signal into it!
"Get her-"

The roar surged wildly in Chaos' mind. The only two remaining central individuals trembled violently. Their sharp claws pierced into their heads that were about to explode. The colorful crystals all over their bodies flashed with strong light. A surging spiritual wave surged in all directions with them as the center!
At the same time, Malenia had already rushed forward and chopped them into pieces with a single blow of her sword, but the soul command released by the central individual at the cost of almost self-destruction still worked.

All the mutant wizards who were still capable of fighting immediately gave up their goals and allowed themselves to be attacked by swords and magic. More than three hundred pairs of red eyes were focused on Malenia in the center!
"Rush inward immediately. Don't let them hurt Your Highness!"

The Night Mage Corps and the Demigod Guards received orders from their generals almost at the same time and rushed desperately into the encirclement.

The mutant mages relied on their instinct to execute the last order at all costs. The mutant mages on the periphery even gave up on their defense and pounced on the Night Mage and the Demigod Guards, trying their best to curb their advance by hugging and even biting them. The monsters in the center launched a desperate attack like crazy!
boom--

A figure had also climbed to the top floor of the State Guesthouse at some point in time. The heavy body drew a powerful trajectory and smashed into the middle of the monster group. The giant black steel sword wrapped in cold air was swung with just a wave of his hand, and a vortex of aura filled with white mist was swept out!

The mutant wizard who was rushing in the front had no time to resist at all, and was split in the chest and abdomen by the cold and fierce sword energy, and flew out like a rag bag!
"Your Highness, I will protect you in breaking out." Blaze was halfway through his words when he felt a small hand pressing on his shoulder. With a slight force, Malenia's petite body took advantage of the momentum and flew into the air!

Her eyes flashed with the many humanoid star beasts that came to attack her. Their movements seemed to be stuck in the quagmire of time, slowing down and slowing down continuously. She could see the rising and stretching blood in their bodies, the rapidly expanding muscles and blood vessels, and even every ray of light reflected from the star beast's shell.

Finally, she seemed to unintentionally turn her gaze away and glanced at the tall buildings in the distance, a fleeting smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

Nearly a thousand meters away, on the top of a tall building, the controller who was monitoring the battle situation through a magic crystal ball suddenly felt a chill in his heart!
Then he saw that the slender figure of Malenia was frozen in a graceful posture in the sky, her golden prosthetic hand was raised high, and the long sword with a pale golden blade was pointing straight to the sky. It seemed that endless strength was pouring into that delicate body like a giant whale sucking water, and the natural divine power dissipated within a radius of one kilometer was shaking and boiling!

Under the astonished gazes of both warring parties, a golden blade light descended from the sky, like a star blown down by the wind!

At that moment, people didn't remember how many flashes of sword light they had seen. They only felt that a strange and gorgeous red lotus was blooming in front of them. The afterimages of gods and men who were constantly born and shattered in an instant depicted the red heart of the flower. Countless crisscrossing golden sword lights that covered the entire space turned into fluttering petals.

It seemed as if she had slashed out thousands of times in an instant, but it also seemed as if she had only slashed out one time from beginning to end!

Countless faint golden knife marks intertwined into a web of death. The last scene captured by the mutant wizards' bloodshot pupils was the girl who was within reach, holding up the vermilion scabbard with her left hand, holding the pure white handle with her right hand, her long hair fluttering, and sheathing the sword. If Lucia was lucky enough to witness this scene with her own eyes, perhaps it should be called the eternal swordplay version of the water bird dance?

puff--

The sword light that should have dissipated as the long sword was sheathed once again illuminated the long night. The final flash of the sword mark remaining in the air put an end to the final charge of the monsters. The broken pyroxene crystals on the ground reflected the moonlight, making the slowly falling figure in the center look like a god.

On the other side of the crystal ball, the controller who witnessed all this had cold sweat on his palms. He tried hard to suppress the violent throbbing of his heart, took a deep breath and prepared to withdraw.

But just as he was about to close the crystal ball, he saw that the footsteps of Malenia that had just touched the ground suddenly exerted force, and her figure seemed to be a rising star, and she was heading straight for him without any error!

At this moment, he no longer had time to think about how the other party could have accurately determined his position through the fleeting mental fluctuations just now. He exerted force in his hand to crush the special crystal ball, and with a flutter of his scarlet cloak, he fled for his life to the other end of the tall building!

Their original plan was to catch Lucia, Lacard, and Michaela, who were all in the armies of the three dynasties, and Latan was still in the Temple of Mystics for a short period of time. They used the information gap of a large number of mutant wizards in their hands to catch Lani off guard.

With the combat power of nearly five hundred humanoid star beasts as a foundation, the controller himself is also a hidden trump card. The best expected result is to kidnap Malenia in the chaos, and then use the changes in the State Guesthouse to affect the overall situation. At the very least, it can stir up the situation in the city and attract firepower for other operations.

However, at this moment, let alone letting him capture Malenia personally, it is even a question whether he can escape from her alive!
Is this the weakest demigod who "just suppressed the curse of the God" and "is not as powerful as a hero" as those useless people in charge of intelligence said?! He wished that he was facing Greg in the far south instead of Marenia!

The operator jumped down from the other side of the tall building, and his scarlet cloak spread out in the wind, slowing down his falling trend.

But at this moment, a loud noise of bricks and stones exploding suddenly came from the other end of the building!

The first vibration came from the bottom of the building, the second from the middle of the building, and the third time had already landed on the rooftop where he had just stood!

All this happened in just a few seconds, and he didn't even have time to land on the ground!

The breath of death that seemed to be right in front of him from a thousand meters away lingered around his body again. A crazy warning came from his mental perception, and the operator suddenly rolled his body to the right due to his honed muscle memory!

An incredibly skilled blade whizzed past his left rib, severing half of his cloak while also cutting a several-meter-deep crack in the granite floor!
"What the hell is this monster!" The controller roared and cursed, and the moment he hit the ground, he rolled over to avoid the pursuing sword light, and ran forward with all his might!
Whoosh—Marinia landed on the ground with one footstep, and her figure swept forward like a breeze, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The successive exquisite dodgments within millimeters, the speed and strength far superior to that of an ordinary person, and the aura within the body that was vaguely the same origin as the corrupt power in her own body, all made her extremely curious about the other party's identity.

But it doesn't matter. If she keeps chasing him at this speed, she will be able to put the knife to that man's neck in ten seconds at most.

At this moment, the controller suddenly stopped, turned around and stretched out his arm to face the rushing Malenia. Countless pale silk threads shot out in spirals, with enough force to pierce through mountains and split rocks!
With a cold snort, Marennia waved her long sword in the air. The fierce slash immediately cut the iron-strength silk into flying catkins. Her body rushed forward with the sword's momentum, and she slashed at the opponent's arm with her backhand!
With a crackling sound, like the crisp sound of a sharp blade breaking through an insect shell, the man's broken arm flew into the air, but before it hit the ground, it turned into a recurved forelimb that was very different from that of a human!

Then, instead of running away, he charged towards Marlenya's long sword and pierced his heart directly into the sharpest edge of the blade!
Intent on capturing the man alive, Marennia turned her wrist and moved the knife a little away at the last moment, but she still inevitably stabbed the man through.

As she stared in astonishment, the "corpse" quickly shrank and turned into a giant insect corpse with a body similar to that of an ordinary person.

"Is it a trick?"

Marennia quickly turned her gaze towards the night in the distance, but the other party's breath seemed to have completely disappeared. Even if she used her mind, she could not find any trace of him.
