Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 917 Reliable Isabel

With the appearance of the punishment demons, the night sky suddenly became darker.

They spun the silver chains with sharp barbs in their hands like they were swinging meteor hammers. Thunderbolts randomly attacked everything around them - buildings, the sea, the ground, and even other demons.

At this moment, heavy rain suddenly came.

It was a heavy rainstorm with white smoke rising up, enough to block the view. When the raindrops landed on the body, it would feel like being beaten.

This rain will undoubtedly further increase the lethality of thunder.

The power of the falling lightning summoned from nature is almost infinite - the thunderbolts are almost connected into a string, connecting the warship "Cruel Preacher" and the sky from beginning to end!

No matter how powerful Aiwas's prayer is, its power will eventually be exhausted. And the power called by the punishment demons does not belong to them... If a tug-of-war is launched in this area, the only result will be that Aiwas's power will be wasted.

——So Aiwass took the initiative and summoned the King of the Wild Hunt!

In an instant, the color of heaven and earth changed.

And a voice as vague as a storm resounded in the night sky:
"I came roaring—"

The voice of the King of the Wild Hunt rumbled.

Aiwass stood in the storm, but the rain did not wet his clothes at all; he stood under the thunder, but the thunder dissipated by itself above his head.

Neither rain nor thunder could penetrate the amber barrier, only storms could seep in.

Aiwass's long golden hair fluttered wildly in the wind, and he said loudly: "Herchin——"

His voice was barely audible in the storm.

However, the King of the Wild Hunt responded: "I am listening, Master."

"Take your weapons - kill them!"

Following Aiwas's call, a relatively thin bolt of lightning fell beside Heleqin amidst the thunder that was falling from the sky.

He raised his hands and let the lightning strike him.

After the thunder dissipated, a thunder-strike halberd identical to the one used by the demon on the opposite side fell into his hands!
"……Um?"

"That is--"

This scene obviously shocked the punishment demons, and they even felt a little frightened.

Of course they recognized the Thunder Halberd - a power that was exactly the same as their origin, and they would never mistake it even if they were far away.

——The Punishment Demons are naturally also demons, and the punishment effect of the Thunder Halberd is also effective against them.

After all, these punishment demons were once the "condemned" who were struck to death by thunder from the Fallen Angels because of their numerous evil deeds. It can even be said that it is because the punishment demons are full of fear of "thunder" that they use thunder to torture other demons and innocent souls.

Because I was caught in the rain, I had to take down other people’s umbrellas as well!

But now, the old fears that they thought they had forgotten have come back silently like a thorn in the flesh!
Helechin's followers emerged one after another.

Without any orders, the Wild Hunt army formed up on their own.

These former heroes were extremely satisfied with the enemy before them.

——I didn’t expect that after being dead for so long, I would now have the opportunity to fight against the demon army!

Heleqin disappeared into the dusk in an instant, and when he reappeared, he appeared in front of the demon of punishment.

laugh--

The spear shining with thunder pierced through the chest of one of the punishment demons!

This caused fatal damage to the demon in almost an instant.

The other three demons of punishment instinctively threw the spinning chains in their hands, trying to lock up Heleqin's entire body!

The front end of the chain was a hooked sharp blade like a sickle. This thing could not be considered a weapon in the material world, but only a torture device - it was used to pass through the joints of the human body and then the person was hung up with the chain.

The body will then slowly be torn into pieces under its own weight.

If an ordinary human was hooked by this hook, he would be paralyzed by the subsequent lightning, and even his soul would be stuck to the sickle by the lightning and be torn off alive.

But when their chains were hung on Heleqin, they simply wrapped around him due to inertia and hit his metal armor, making a hollow and crisp clanging sound.

——The only sound was the clanging of metal.

Heleqin swung his halberd and cut the three chains in one stroke!

The broken chain fragments fell from the air and turned into tiny blue-purple electric lights.

However, Heleqin ignored the three punishment demons around him, and continued to attack the first attacking demon frantically!

After just one encounter, a few slashes were made, chopping it to the point of being on the verge of death!
The demons did not have a deep friendship, after all, they were all "comrades struck by lightning". Therefore, after a brief attempt without success, the other three punishment demons immediately gave up rescuing their "companions" and turned into lightning without hesitation and ran away.

All of this was exactly the same as when Aiwas first met Heleqin -

Storm, Punisher, King of the Wild Hunt...

However, the awakened Heleqin was no longer drowned in hatred and madness like before. Heleqin, who was saved by the Lord of Scales and Feathers, had regained his rationality and intelligence. He was no longer simply venting his anger, so his threat became much stronger.

Back in Eagle Cape Village, Heleqin's consciousness was too chaotic, and his willingness to attack was like that of a wild monster without IQ, so the punishment demon died before they even met...

But things are different now.

While being stuck to Heleqin and maintaining high-speed mobility, the Punishment Demon, who possessed both martial arts and spellcasting abilities, didn't even have time to cast a single spell!
Heleqin's attacks always hit the opponent's weak points in magic with great precision. At the moment when the spell was about to be constructed, it turned into purple or blue glass-like broken light.

The King of the Wild Hunt completely suppressed the four punishment demons by himself! In the past, when he fought against the punishment demons one-on-one, he could easily gain an overwhelming advantage.

Now he has more powerful weapons, clearer mind, more specific goals, and even his will to fight has become stronger!

After only a few rounds of fighting, the punishment demon was cut in half by Heleqin's sword!

At this moment, those fleeing punishment demons haven't even gotten far!
Heleqin chased after him without hesitation.

He was like a sharp cone formed by condensed thunder, directly piercing through the formation of the demon army!

"Ohhhhhh-"

The Wild Hunt Legion following closely behind let out a roar like a storm and collided fiercely with the Demon Legion that had been broken into!

And Aiwass kept his hand on the materialized Book of Law.

He kept a close eye on the situation—if anything went wrong, he would use the Light of Elysium.

The Light of Paradise has the power of "punishment" and "purification", and is extremely effective against demons whose core power is "major sin".

...But since the power of the Wild Hunt King alone is enough to continuously defeat the demon army...then he'd better hold back.

The three beasts of sin under Aiwass can handle the current situation.

Whether it's the turret-like Flame Butterfly or the Night Devil that has reached the sixth energy level with the help of the pastoral method, they all have excellent clearing capabilities.

However, the Night Demon would inevitably trigger the perception of the Fallen Angel, and the location of the Flame Butterfly and the Elf Warship overlapped. That's why Aiwas summoned Heleqin to maintain the situation.

——Because right now, the star is suffering from a natural disaster of undead.

A battle of this magnitude would not possibly alert the Fallen Angels.

The Fallen Angel is a rather lazy angel - he himself is infected and blessed by the Seven Deadly Sins, and he will not take action unless it is necessary.

In the game, he didn't even bother to deal with the intruders until the player team broke into his palace. He didn't even bother to deal with the intruders until he opened the door. He didn't even stand up from the throne until he was attacked.

...But Aiwass felt that if the Fallen Angel sensed the breath of the "snake", he might suddenly become alert.

And those demons don't have the guts to admit "I can't beat the other side, boss, help me". They will only go to other demons for help.

Because useless demons will only be destroyed and recreated by the Fallen Angels - even if they are nominally the "Apostles" of the Fallen Angels.

For the Fallen Angels, the only resource they need to cherish is the "Sin Brand"... This thing is like the curse seal granted by Orochimaru. Even for the Fallen Angels, it is limited in number, with an upper limit of 666, which is the maximum number of all upper demons with the Sin Brand.

There are ninety-five sins in each of the seven deadly sins, and the last one belongs to the Fallen Angel himself.

They are the manifestation of half of the concept of "sin and punishment", and are the original power that the Fallen Angels themselves cannot fully control - so He is not the Sin Angel, but the Fallen Angel.

However, as long as the Fallen Angel wants, he can always remove the Sin Brand from his apostles and give it to other demons.

As long as it can accommodate the corresponding deadly sin mark, the soul can be directly transformed into a higher demon by the power of the Fallen Angel.

——And this world lacks everything except all kinds of bad people.

After Aiwas silently gave Helechin the order "Don't pursue further", he retreated back to the cabin.

He was not carried away by victory and did not forget the original purpose of coming here.

"Help me guard it, Zhu Tang and Mu."

Aiwass said seriously: "If someone attacks and you are unable to defeat them, wake me up."

"No problem, my mana has been restored."

Zhu Tang nodded, quite confident: "I can set up a clairvoyance and clairaudience ritual. No one will be able to sneak attack us... If a demon teleports in, we still have Mu."

Mu clasped his hands together and remained silent.

That muscular body and extremely determined and calm eyes look extremely reliable at this moment.

Aiwass was quite moved.

——This is a reliable front-line teammate!

This feeling of protection...

Senior, you should learn from him!
So Aiwass drank a little wine - it was the leftover wine from when he gave Zhu Tang the Drunken Tincture.

Then he calmed his mind and said silently in his heart: "Boss, let's hypnotize you."

"okay."

The Lord of Scales and Feathers answered immediately, as if He had been watching Aiwass all along: "Good dreams."

The next moment, a strong sense of drowsiness immediately struck his heart. The moment Aiwas closed his eyes, he sank into the dream world, which was even more effective than the dream-intoxicating tincture.

"Going to bed so early today, Aiwass?"

Isabel's gentle voice sounded from behind Aiwass: "It's not yet ten o'clock, is it?"

When Aiwass opened his eyes again, he saw Isabel lying on the bed in her transparent pajamas.

Her fingertips flickered with pink light, as if she was shaping a mask.

And when she saw that Aiwas had woken up, she dispersed the halo casually, hugged Aiwas lazily, and kissed him.

"…It's already past ten o'clock."

Aiwass responded subconsciously at first, and then immediately asked nervously: "Where are you now, Isabel? You should... not be in Xingti, right?"

"I'm in Avalon and I haven't left yet. Yulia is here too, don't worry."

Isabel knew what Edwards wanted to know, so she directly told him the two things that Edwards cared about most.

After Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled helplessly and dotingly: "How could I cause you trouble... I took into consideration that you are not in Xingti for the time being, so I did not go there immediately.

"I know your enemies are strong, and I also know that you care about me. So I won't appear in dangerous places casually... or rather, I won't appear in dangerous places 'anymore'."

She felt a little lost when she said this.

Aiwass knew that what Isabel was talking about... was the incident on the day of the Candle Festival when she was kidnapped by the "succubus" Ms. Emma.

Although Emma technically came to kidnap Yulia, Isabel believed that it was because of her lack of caution that she got into trouble.

Isabel never makes the same mistake twice.

As an "all-rounder", her strength lies in her strong learning ability - she only needs to suffer the loss once for this kind of thing.

"I know it's not good to drink when you're pregnant... but you were going to come see me today, so I took some Drunk Dream Tincture and went to bed at around 8 o'clock today."

Isabel hugged Aiwass from behind, bit his ear, and whispered, "I heard that there were strange phenomena and earthquakes in Xingti, and the rituals and telephones were cut off... I immediately thought that you might think I have arrived in Xingti.

"I told the Lord Chamberlain that if there is any phone call, ceremony, or carrier pigeon today that could be from you, as long as it is someone asking for information, you should tell them that 'the queen and the lady are in Avalon'.

"I have entered the dream world and will be waiting for your contact at any time. If you think that Yulia and I are trapped in Xingtan... you will definitely go to Xingtan as quickly as possible and then enter the dream world to try to establish contact with me."

Isabel said word by word: "I don't know what happened to Xingti, but I think it must be very dangerous there now. I'm telling you now, I'm in Avalon and I'm not in danger. So you should evacuate quickly."

“…How thoughtful.”

Aiwass sighed with some relief and some regret: "You have grown up, Isabel."

From the very beginning, Isabel had completely predicted Aiwass's behavior.

She even considered various possibilities and prepared various plans.

“Who made me grow up?”

Isabel smiled playfully, and seemed to have turned back into the ignorant and innocent girl.

"It's me."

Aiwass chuckled, kissed Isabel on the cheek, and then kissed her forehead: "See you later, there are people outside protecting me."

"Will you be back soon? Back to Avalon?"

Isabel bit Aiwas's lip and asked in a low voice: "It's okay for me, but Yulia seems very depressed. The child seems to be sad that she can't help and may even cause trouble... It's better to comfort her. You haven't seen her for a long time, right? It's not like us..."

"Well... I have to go back and help her solve this problem. After all, it was something we agreed on a long time ago... to give her the power to control her own destiny."

Aiwass nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Then I'll pick up Lily and the others and leave."

"If possible," Isabel suggested, "we can contact the Ziggurat. They haven't had time to evacuate yet - if we can't get the Ziggurat to leave, at least take the people away first."

"it is good."

Aiwass nodded slightly, feeling excited about this timely intelligence.

At least there will be no loss of talent this time!
"Thank you, Isabel."

Aiwass thanked him sincerely.

"If I can't be a help to you, I will never be a burden to you."

Isabel raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said calmly: "After all, I am the queen of Avalon."
