Chapter 316 Light and Shadow

The metal puppet descended from the sky, and the power brought by this action alone was more terrifying than that of the Hercules Hagnan. It is conceivable that its strength is also at the peak of the silver rank.It stabbed down with a spear in its hand, directly piercing through the already fragmented ruins of the castle.

However, its long spear only penetrated down less than ten meters before it was tightly held by a slender white hand.Under the ruins, the face of the girl with fluttering blond hair was as sinking as water, with angry flames shining in her eyes.The girl grasped the tip of the gun with a little force, and the metal condensed into the long gun turned into twists again.

Even if it suffered such a serious injury, it is impossible for the metal puppet without emotion to experience the feeling of fear. When it found that it was unable to move forward, it immediately changed its attack method, and the twisted metal all over its body suddenly exploded, turning into The sharp spikes look like a metal hedgehog.He gave up the use of weapons, but turned himself into the most terrifying weapon, and he went on a rampage regardless.

The speed of the metal puppet is extremely fast. If it were an ordinary silver-level master, even if El was standing here, he might not be able to dodge this terrifying blow, and would be poked into a sieve without any suspense.But now its opponent is a quasi-juggernaut. Even though she is troubled by the mysterious sludge, Diana's strength cannot be underestimated.

The girl snorted coldly, and directly stretched out her hand to block her face. The metal spikes that could pierce through walls couldn't pierce the seemingly soft skin on her palm.Seeing that the situation was not good, the metal puppet wanted to continue changing, but found that the surroundings had fallen into darkness.A ray of light that couldn't be seen directly radiated from the girl's palm, passing through the metal puppet and the outer wall twenty miles behind it without hindrance.Only those whose eyesight has been strengthened to an astonishing degree can see the outline of the sword from that ray of light.

After shooting the sword, Diana turned around without the slightest hesitation, and pulled the light of the sword into an arc to cut towards the shadow behind her.

Although Diana's actual combat experience is not rich, warriors of her level have reached the extreme sensitivity in terms of perception and intuition.When that sword was struck, she realized that something was wrong. Since the puppet master had already torn his face, it was impossible for him to be prevaricated by such a rag. As a long-established gold rank powerhouse, he himself deadliest threat.And when Diana focused on the metal puppet, even if it was just for a moment, it was an excellent opportunity for a powerhouse of this level.

Jian Guang swept behind him, without any gain.Diana frowned slightly, she didn't doubt her intuition, that meant...

A delicately carved walnut cane quietly appeared from the shadow behind the girl, and gently touched her back.Diana's body trembled violently, and she forcibly twisted her body to deflect the force behind her. The outer wall of the castle beside her was swept away by the aftermath and collapsed.

"Light and shadow are always opposite sides. Your light is so bright, how can you catch my shadow?" The doll master's indifferent voice sounded from behind again, and the girl turned around, but still didn't notice anything. Immediately realized the mistake he had made.

As the puppeteer said, although her sword light is brilliant, no matter how bright it is, it is impossible to eliminate her own shadow, and her own shadow will always appear at the other end of the light.Where there is light, there must be shadow. Light can drive out darkness, but it cannot eliminate darkness. As long as shadows still exist, the puppeteer can remain invincible.

Diana doesn't lack the combat intuition of a warrior, she knows how to fight, but she lacks combat experience, or the combat experience with opponents of the same level.At this level of the gold rank, the way of fighting among the strong has long been separated from the contest of basic qualities such as strength and agility.

The puppeteer's cane looked light and powerless, but just this one made Diana's right shoulder burst into blood. That kind of strength was many times stronger than the metal puppet just now, but it was hardly revealed.Only a veteran gold powerhouse like him can use his strength to the point of lifting weights lightly, and the difficulty is no less than piercing the city wall with an embroidery needle.

Diana, who was severely injured again, rolled twice on the ground, holding her body on the ground with one hand, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, but there was no sign of surrender on her face, and the anger in her eyes grew stronger .

"No matter how much you say, it can't change the fact that you will only hide your head and show your tail and dare not fight head-on. When I was a child, my father once told me the story of the puppet maker. I never thought that the rebellious genius hero would become the current virtue. , even I am ashamed of you!"

A cold snort came from behind, and then a murderous intent burst out towards the back of the girl's neck like a poisonous snake. Although Diana's provocative method was low-level, every word cut the puppeteer's heart like a knife. He was not a magnanimous person in the first place, so how could he tolerate a young junior talking irresponsibly to him.

This time he did not hide his killing intent at all, and he was determined to teach the little girl a profound lesson, to let her know that even the royal family would not dare to desecrate the dignity of a strong gold man.However, this was exactly what Diana wanted. Sensing the killing intent coming from behind, the girl revealed an imperceptible smile.

The castle that had almost turned into ruins was dealt a devastating blow again. When the strong man of the golden rank revealed his mighty coercion, the air was almost frozen, and even the ground trembled and screamed.El and Tiana had witnessed the battle between Landwalking Princess Ranga Akalian and the Angel of the Undead in the distance, and they could clearly feel the coercion of the strong even a few kilometers away, as if the sky had been torn apart. The huge city was destroyed in an instant.

Now they once again personally experienced the true strength displayed by the gold powerhouse, and at a very close distance, this experience became more and more profound.Although Diana and the puppeteer were both furious, they still maintained a three-point rationality after all, controlling their power within the scope of the castle, and did not spread to the urban area of ​​Sword Castle.Even so, the aftermath of the battle wreaked havoc on the surrounding environment.

"We can't go on like this, we have to evacuate the people nearby." Simako said worriedly.

"I'm afraid the city is already under the control of those rebels." Tiana couldn't help but whispered while looking at the unusually quiet streets around her. The residents nearby had obviously evacuated in advance, so the surrounding area seemed extraordinarily quiet.Of course, it is not ruled out that it is the consequence of the previous rebellion.But so far, the Beifeng family's castle has been smashed into a sieve and no one has come to support it. This only shows that the other party has controlled the situation.

"Since they hired a strong man who can deal with Diana, and they also expected a battle, it means that they are well prepared. Now we should be prepared to face Diana's failure, and at the same time look for opportunities to take her away." Tiana observed for a moment, and quickly came to a more organized judgment.

Simaco wanted to refute unwillingly, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He also knew in his heart that under the current circumstances, Tiana's judgment was not wrong.The only problem is that if Diana is defeated, then no matter how many silver ranks she has on her side, it probably won't be enough.

Seeing Simako's face, Tiana knew what he was thinking. Although this guy was a little smart, he had been educated by family tradition since he was a child, and he usually didn't have any innovative ideas in this kind of work that required technical content.

At this time, Miss Dancing Light Snake, who was once wanted by the seven northern counties, was needed to show her criminal talent. Tiana used magic to investigate around, and she had a plan in her heart. She pointed to the east and said to Simako: "That should be the armory of the Sword Castle garrison. If you go over and set it on fire, those rebels will definitely not sit idly by. I will stay here to arrange it, maybe Can have a three-point grasp."

Tiana's judgment is quite accurate. Now that she knows the general cause and effect of the matter, she can judge that the intention of the Hua Lain gang who launched the rebellion is to take over Sword Castle. If this goal is to be achieved, they must Ensure that the damage to the city is limited to an acceptable range.Conversely, a strategic location like the armory is also a military location that must be protected.If there is a granary, Tiana will definitely ask Ximako to go to the granary to prevent fire, but unfortunately she did not find it.Generally speaking, big families with castles like the Beifeng family would store their food in the storage room under the castle, and now it was obvious that they couldn't dig it out for a while.

Just when Sima Ke was so shocked by the vicious plan of the magician girl that he couldn't speak, El who was standing aside suddenly said: "I won't participate in this matter, just now I suddenly remembered a very important matter, I have to deal with it."

"Huh? Is there something important? Do you want to..." Tiana asked with some doubts. When she saw El's face, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she didn't ask further, just shook her head. Shaking his head, he said, "I plan to observe first, and then play it by ear. You don't have to worry about us."

"It shouldn't take too long. Be careful, no matter what the result is, it doesn't really matter to us." El nodded to Tiana, then turned and walked away resolutely.

"Uh...Mr. El?" Sima Ke yelled inexplicably, seeing that El just waved his hand and didn't look back, he asked Tiana with some puzzlement: "Miss Ranstadt, now The situation has developed into such a situation, and I can understand your wish to stay out of it. But... what does Mr. El want to do?"

"It's nothing, he just figured out something." Tiana said indifferently: "Please rest assured, I am still on Miss Diana's side so far."
