Oops, I became the witch's substitute

The efforts of the church army were effective. The heat dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, the magma solidified, and the sense of crisis decreased.

This is the paean to strength, wisdom and courage that the Church is proud of.

However, Wei Yue did not calm down as imagined. Everyone clearly heard the thunder-like crash, and images of steel melting and breaking emerged in people's minds. There was an unfathomable malice flowing in Wei Yue, and this malice burned everyone's heart like a branding iron.

Despite more and more prayers joining in, the moon continued to rise, and its surface began to crack, splitting evenly along the red track.

Boom! Boom! The sound of collision became more and more intense, and the sealing magic wrapped around Wei Yue gradually turned red.

"No! The magic power inside Wei Yue is rapidly increasing, and the speed of magic power diversion cannot keep up with the speed of gathering..."

"Deploy the barrier and prepare for impact!"

"Not all the miners have retreated yet!"

"Expand the barrier as much as possible. It's too late! Let as many survive as possible!"

The sealing magic was not to wrap up Wei Yue mindlessly. The hundreds of thousands of chains were a means to disperse and disintegrate the magic power, but now the speed of decomposition could not keep up with the gathering of magic power.

The Wei Yue in the sky became redder and redder. With a shock, more than a quarter of the divine chains broke, and a heat wave spread out. The grass and trees all over the mountains burned violently at the first moment, and then quickly turned into ashes. The land of the mountain range directly below the Wei Yue melted again and watered the mine.

Alex walked out of the church army, drew his sword and inserted it under his feet, with a holy light shining on his body. This light reached the sky and then projected down, representing the image of the god that people longed for in their hearts slowly appearing. The huge phantom almost occupied the entire sky, and it was impossible to describe its specific boundaries. The phantom slowly embraced Wei Yue and resolved the crisis at this moment.

"My dear hero..."

"Keep calm! Evacuate the miners as soon as possible and hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Alex stared at Wei Yue, took a deep breath, and was about to say something to boost morale when he heard a sonic boom like the collapse of the sky.

Wei Yue collapsed from above, and two pitch-black wings tore apart the phantom of the god. The next moment, Wei Yue's volume expanded rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a new sun. The ultimate burning magic power stretched Wei Yue's body to the limit, and the dragon's head was finally raised, roaring towards the sky.

"The evil dragon, whose true identity is unknown and no records exist, does this majestic appearance really come from the fear in people's hearts?" Alex drew his sword with both hands and slashed horizontally. The sky in front of him was cut by a hundreds-meter-long slash, which shattered all the collapsed rocks.

The collapsed boulders were not even the appetizer. Bahamut leaned over and launched a surprise attack on the Moon below him. The Moon, which had expanded to its limit, exploded completely. Pure hot smoke overturned the sky, like a tsunami formed by magma rolling in.

That’s right, red rain fell from the sky, and the red raindrops set the earth on fire.

The shock wave tore the mine apart, and more than a thousand people fell into the ravine. The barrier formed by the church army was shattered at the same time. The crowd staggered to and fro, fell down and fainted while covering their ears amid various howls.

The fragments of the moon turned into meteorites and hit the earth. Every piece of debris that hit the earth raised dust thousands of meters high. The dust filled the sky and blocked the sunlight. The border area fell into dusk in an instant.

Alex looked back at the falling debris, and when he sensed danger, he used all his strength to hold it up, and his divine power turned into a hundred-meter-long blade of light to parry the debris. He roared desperately, and used all his strength to bounce away the debris above his head.

The repelled fragments continued to crash into the earth, and the flames they created continued to engulf everything around them.

Bahamut spun in the sky and stretched out his wings completely. At the moment of flapping his wings, countless magic powers formed streams of light, like sparks flying out of a bonfire. A large number of sparks flew towards the ground with tails of flame, causing violent explosions wherever they passed.

Such flames seemed endless from the moment they appeared. As Bahamut swooped down, the thousand-meter-high mountain range suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire, and everything was destroyed.

Seeing this, Filin was shocked. He was trapped in the vortex of his own memory, unable to judge whether this was the power of a star beast. However, Bahamut's terrifying strength had been imprinted in his heart with his awakening. Can humans really fight such a monster?

At this moment, a dark shadow covered the top of my head and a heavy noise came from behind me. I didn't need to look back to know that Bahamut had landed there.

"Are you coming for me?" As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the evil dragon's bite swallowed him mercilessly.

……

Fili, who was far away in the border city, suddenly closed her eyes and dodged as if she had been electrocuted. Her magic power instantly became disordered and twisted around her to create an arc-like effect.

"How could it be? It absorbed my magic power, but targeted me?" Fili thought quickly, "As a fictional creature, everything about Bahamut is a lie, but what if the only being who knows the truth dies?"

Then no one would know that Bahamut is fake?

This was undoubtedly the worst possible scenario. Although she had anticipated this possibility before, Fili still felt it was difficult to deal with when it actually happened. This was the most dangerous part of her plan.

When the clone died, Fili quickly and tried her best to eliminate her own sense of existence and cut off the sense of Bahamut's existence. At least she cut off all the methods she knew before continuing to think.

"Can I deny the existence of Bahamut? After all, it is related to my power."

"No... the true form of the star beast is real."

"But Bahamut is exactly the same as what I imagined in my memory, which means that I have interfered with it. The creature that should have gathered the fear of the locals has become what it is now... There must be a way to continue to interfere with it."

"The power of deception cannot create something out of nothing, but now there is obviously a strong interference effect. How can it be done?"

As if they were attracted to each other, Fili came to the location of the star beast by coincidence, and the star beast was also contaminated by the power of deception by coincidence, and they achieved and hurt each other.

The appearance of Bahamut now is undoubtedly a huge disaster. If it weren't for me, this star beast would have appeared at least hundreds of years later. Maybe humans at that time would be able to deal with it better, and at the same time they wouldn't have to deal with such a difficult Bahamut?

Things are out of control, but Fili has no regrets. Awakening the star beast is also part of the plan to attack the Holy Kingdom of Arius. The only uncertainty is whether Bahamut will go straight to Miriam now.

While Fili was thinking hard, Seleka pushed the door open and walked in. "Oh no! Fili, there was a very strong magical fluctuation coming from the border of the Holy Kingdom of Arius. The skyline in that direction was faintly dyed red. Even we could feel the shocking magical fluctuation."

Fili raised her hand and asked Serena to calm down: "Don't worry, there is still time."

Then two more witches rushed in, and they told the same story more accurately. Using the magic of the fog mirror, they could even see Bahamut wreaking havoc.

"Bahamut has revived as expected. He has such power just after waking up. Looking at the records of star beasts in history, they are also very powerful."

"The protective barrier covering the city in the previous plan needs to be modified. Initial observations show that the power of the star beasts is purely destructive. We must do our best to build a shelter and a hidden world under the star canopy."

According to ancient legends, witches are residents from the "Inside the World", a place called the Hidden World. Although the witches do not know this, it does not prevent them from regarding the Hidden World as an utopia and a resting place. Since it is believed to be isolated from the real world, the Hidden World is considered to be an absolutely safe place.

The ancient magic of this world will be analyzed as the times change, but there will be special exceptions. The hidden world under the star curtain is one of the ancient magics that has existed to this day and has not been cracked. Its mystery cannot be improved even a little bit.

Fili had only heard of this magic and roughly knew that it was a barrier technique that "blocked" the inside and outside of the barrier in order to minimize the damage from the outside world.

"Time is running out. Is it too late to modify the barrier now?"

"No problem. Most of our barrier technology is derived from the modification of 'Hidden World'. We just need to improve the main framework. But it will take some time. The movement trajectory of the star beast is full of uncertainty. It has awakened at the border. If it comes towards us now..."

Fili checked the time and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat: "At its speed, if it flies straight towards us, we will be able to see it in the afternoon at the latest."

Even though they were a little worried, the witches did not stop and quickly went back to perfect the barrier.

Before such a big thing happened, Arabelle began to provide financial assistance with all her strength, the two organizations of the Hidden Leader and the Grave Lich also assisted, and the mercenaries and special people of all sizes in the city began to wait and see.

After sending the witch away, Fili was about to leave, but Serena suddenly grabbed her hand and asked, "Do you want to go to the scene?"

Fili paused for a moment, her expression serious: "I can't stay here any longer. As for the reason, I can't tell you all of it now, but there is only one thing, please believe me."

It's really difficult. After telling so many lies, I can't even be sincere to Serena. It's like I have betrayed her initial trust.

Serena pushed harder: "I... don't intend to explore everything about you, but please let me share some of your difficulties."

Fili sighed: "You are not good enough now. Such occasions require absolute combat power as support. Serena, you can only barely enter."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Go to Hecate and ask her what to do."

Chapter 89 Black Flame Trio

奺50180909

Bahamut is a completely fictional existence in this world.

Even in Film's past, the name Bahamut was born out of misunderstanding, and the legends about it are constantly changing. The earliest Bahamut was described as a giant floating fish, carrying a giant bull on its back on the vast ocean without bubbles, and the bull carried a mountain of gems, with an angel nested on the mountain, hell on the angel, the earth on the hell, and heaven on the earth.

If we really want to say Bahamut's name, it should actually be Behemoth.

However, there is no point in exploring these things. The original Bahamut is just like the current one, a fictional fake, a fantasy creature born from the human heart.

Unfortunately, humans are currently unable to accurately study everything about the star beast, and Filin does not know the derivation of his own deceptive ability. This disastrous star beast came to this world with only one pursuit, which is to bring destruction.

There is no doubt that Bahamut is powerful. His mere appearance has shaken the sect's front-line troops to the brink of collapse. His earth-shattering power has made people nearby feel despair. This power can easily burn down a small country.

The King of Disaster is reigning over this land, his red vertical pupils overlooking everything.

However, mankind will never despair.

"I'm sure that the star beast has absolute hostility towards humans and we must never let it leave." The brave Alex raised his sword and pointed it at Bahamut with his tiny and lonely figure.

The next second, countless swords made a sound, and countless swords broke free from the warriors' hands and flew into the sky, emitting a sacred light, surrounding Bahamut from all directions. Thousands and tens of thousands of swords intertwined, forming a dense cloud.

Bahamut roared, flapped his wings and fanned out millions of sparks. Countless flames broke through the curtain formed by the holy sword and fell to the ground. The burning earth continued to dye the sky red.

But in this attack, the sparks that were about to fall into the crowd were accurately stopped. Alex shook his wrist, and the next second all the holy swords flew towards Bahamut, and endless attacks fell on Bahamut.

Although the attack was fierce, unfortunately, these sacred swords shattered into pieces when they hit Bahamut, without even a scratch on a dragon scale.

"Roar!" Bahamut roared and spewed endless flames at Alex.

The sword curtains covering the sky suddenly gathered together, forming layers of barriers to resist the impact of the flames, but Bahamut's breath had a strong penetrating power, and everything that stood in the way of the breath melted and penetrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Alex opened his eyes wide, and his divine power burst out completely, like the power of the Morning Star, blocking the direct breath and continuously disintegrating the breath, but he had no choice but to retreat step by step.

Witnessed by countless people, the brave man seemed to have resisted the attack of the star beast, but the brave man's barrier was also deforming and cracks gradually appeared. Many flames leaked from the cracks, and the brave man was soon engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.

Even though the hero's figure could no longer be seen, Alex's barrier did not collapse.

"Goddess! I beg you to grant us the true words of God!"

"Even if humans aren't kind!"

“Please bring hope to those who ask for forgiveness!”

As the battle progressed, three expeditionary knights from the sect also came to support, chanting the mantra of God. Magic power enveloped their bodies, and the divine power formed larger armor. They were like the celestial warriors who followed the gods to fight in mythology. Like chariots, they held different weapons and turned into giant soldiers four or five meters tall.

The priest displayed the giant soldiers dressed in costumes and opened the temple. Seven layers of shields appeared in front of Bahamut's breath, buying Alex some time to rest.

Another person raised a spear, and another person jumped onto the tip of the spear, and they soared into the sky with great force.

At the same time, the earth was constantly shining with light, and thunders of divine punishment flew into the sky. There was no need to aim at all, and any attack could fall on Bahamut.

Their current bodies are like giants compared to mortals, but they are still like insects and ants in front of Bahamut.

People always believe that as long as they unite and use their strength together, they will be able to overcome natural disasters.

Indeed, normally man can conquer nature, and the city walls that have been built over a long period of time can withstand earthquakes and tsunamis, but at this moment there is no fortress prepared for the heroes to resist disasters.

Bahamut looked around the earth and swung his tail from below, knocking the attacking expedition knight away. Then he flew quickly, circling the earth, and flames poured down from the sky, completely covering the church army on the ground, leaving no gaps this time.

If dropping a hundred tons of explosives on a hilltop can be described as a saturation attack, then Bahamut's current behavior has completely exceeded the release of the limits of space. The rage of the Red Lotus will burn all traces of existence, leaving no molecules or atoms behind.

"Every life in the world is special. I know that humans are not kind, but it's a headache to see them die. Maybe I don't have enough divinity? Or maybe I've been with humans for too long and have forgotten my original identity."

The world suddenly fell into gray and white. All actions came to a halt in an instant. A blue barrier expanded above the legion. Inscriptions appeared on the barrier at high speed and flashed by. The fireballs that were about to fall to the ground were bounced away.

"By the way, I'm not a goddess! What impression did those people have of me back then?"

It was merely ricocheted away and exploded in an uninhabited mountain range a thousand meters away, igniting a thousand-mile sea of ​​fire.

Someone standing quietly on the mountain top jumped up, dodged the incoming flames, slowly floated in the sky, and raised his hands to embrace the sky.

Looking closely, he is the scholar who appeared in the library not long ago, and appeared in the area where Bahamut descended in a very short time.

He is Arius, the patron saint of wanderers and the earth.

"Cradle, cradle, let's teach this guy a lesson."

After saying this, countless elves floated out from the cracks in the earth and danced around Arius. Although the land was covered in flames, people felt warm in their hearts.

It seemed like something was about to appear. Those who were infected by the flames that Bahamut could not extinguish were slowly healing their wounds as the flames disappeared. Those who had unfortunately fallen into the abyss also found the direction to survive. Those who felt despair in their hearts were inexplicably strongly encouraged.

A golden halo appeared in Arius's pupils.

Bahamut looked up at the endless sky, and to him, a strong hostility swept over him, as if the entire planet was rejecting and hating itself.

“Roar——!” Bahamut roared at the sky and began to flap his wings. A circle of black thorns appeared above his head.

"What?" Arius's movements suddenly stopped, and he looked at Bahamut in disbelief, the light in his pupils wavering slightly.

The next second, Bahamut roared at the sky, and in an instant, endless black clouds appeared out of thin air, like a group of dancing dragons, playing red thunder and lightning. Within a few seconds, it completely covered the sky and formed a vortex directly above Bahamut.

This is not over yet. People looked up at the huge storm, and some dropped their arms, letting their weapons fall to the ground.

"Everyone, pray with me, may the goddess watch over us again!"

"Yes!"

Tens of thousands of members of the sect began to pray, and the gods did not disappoint their faith.

Suddenly, the entire cloud layer was hit by something, and in the eyes of everyone, it seemed as if the sky was pressed down hundreds of meters.

Sure enough, a lightsaber that pierced through the black cloud, like a lightsaber supporting the sky and the earth, tore through the black cloud and pierced Bahamut directly, but Bahamut dodged it by spiraling his body. Although the lightsaber left a deep wound on his back, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The lightsaber fell to the earth and quickly lost its power and dissipated.

In an unknown place, Arius sat on the ground, holding his forehead, calling out with difficulty.

"This star beast named Bahamut is by no means a normal existence. Its malice is corroding people's hearts and even trying to cut off the connection between me and the cradle."

Arius quickly stood up again and waited for Bahamut in the distance.
