However, this situation was not beyond their expectations.
The rest of the light balls fell shortly after, causing the explosions to completely explode in the area. The exorcist nuns in the choir also strengthened the barrier built around the research institute, confining the deafening sound and powerful light to this area, preventing it from transmitting to the outside world.
"Bishop Zhinia, according to your orders, the Demon Purifying Light has been released. What are your next instructions?"
Amidst the roar of magic, the choir leader also asked Zhinia on the other end of the headset, and at the same time signaled the exorcist nuns to restore and correct their magic power.
Unlike the combat nuns who wore light clothing for the convenience of frontal combat, the exorcist nuns in the choir wore heavier clothing, which made them appear more serious and proper under their blackboard-patterned shirts and suspender waist skirts.
The original slit of the skirt extending to the hips was also combined with white silk fluff to form a semi-transparent gauze curtain, allowing the inner tassel to be faintly visible under the overlapping skirt, making the cross-stitch on it look like it was branded on the tassel, and complementing the black trouser cut inside.
In the airflow generated by the magic bombardment, the black cloak draped over the shoulders of the choir leader was also blown, making the fullness wrapped from the collarbone to the lower part of the white shirt collar more obvious.
"Diana."
Zhenya glanced at Diana beside her, and after closing her eyes and sensing for a while, her brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
"No wait, this feels a bit weird."
"They're not dead yet. I can still sense their presence, but there's something strange about it, like a broken TV signal. It's become quite garbled."
"Could it be that the bombing just now caused chaos in the magical environment?"
Zhinia also asked subconsciously, causing the other party to shake his head slightly.
"Impossible. My magical detection is still quite sharp. The choir's magic can't affect my own perception, unless..."
Looking at Diana's hesitant expression, Zhenya thought for a while and then spoke to the choir leader again.
"Mavis, have the choir continue to release the magic-purifying light. Spread out the rhythm of each class to maintain continuity. Have the hymn class restore the magic power for the exorcist nuns."
"They don't have the ability to resist large-scale magic. The beholder can only temporarily stagnate the magic by stopping time, but it can't truly make it disappear."
Glancing at Diana who was still frowning slightly, Zhenya slowly spoke.
Looking for a book group: 哵ˇ. 綺柳粶【钐)*☆陑 "Since it's inconvenient to detect them, then let's not detect them. It's better to just crush them to death with continuous firepower."
Although they failed in the end, the reason they entered the Demon Eye House and attacked was mainly to deter and scare people, and they wanted to completely destroy Milulu with the power of thunder, so they chose to run into the building.
And now that she already knew they were inside, she wouldn't be so foolish as to rush in with a group of people and fall into the trap.
Since Duncan said that this is an abandoned research institute, let these demons be destroyed together with it in the bombardment of magic.
However, the next moment, a sudden roar erupted from the side of the building, causing Zhinia's pupils to shrink slightly, and she looked towards the bloody magic that suddenly erupted from one of the choir teams.
"Mavis!? What's wrong?"
"I don't know. We didn't see anything and were suddenly hit by an inexplicable blow."
The other party's somewhat confused voice also came from the headphones. Since the other party was much closer to the center of the explosion than herself, the wind noise also came through the headphones, and the crackling sound made Zhinia feel even more irritated.
It seemed to be the work of the vampire named Ruth, but no matter how fast she was, it was impossible for her to come to the choir and attack them silently.
"I understand!"
And Diana also shouted.
"It's that zombie. She's moving underground, disrupting the flow of magic power as she goes. That's why I can't clearly sense their situation!"
"She relied on burrowing to sneak over to the choir, and then let the vampire's magic bombard them, like a landmine that could be laid at any time."
"Wait for this magic flow"
She paused for a moment, then her pupils suddenly constricted, causing the sharp sound to explode completely the next moment.
"Everyone fly!"
The next moment, the vibrations that erupted from underground and the magical power filled with dangerous aura also rushed up violently, making them immersed in the dazzling red light amidst the shattered ground.
Chapter 285 Marionette
"As expected of you, you are so sinister."
Ruth used her magic to make red smoke fill the corridor, and spoke to Ji Hui on the other end of the headset.
As the signals were disrupted by the bombardment of magic power, only the special headphones that Ji Hui had taken from the Dark Mace Garden could maintain a barely conversable conversation.
But even so, the crackling sounds still made Ji Hui's words seem a little unclear.
"What's so sinister about it? It's just their own choice."
"Since they took the initiative to bomb us, isn't it normal for them to be bombed back?"
"That's what you said, but you anticipated that they would do this, so you took the initiative to let us all in and wait, right?"
After gathering the magic ball in her hand and throwing it to Rika Funado and Miao Lin who flew out from the wall, Ruth continued to ask.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to do this right after they started bombing."
"Who knows? We just came here to cooperate. When we found no one was there, we were suddenly bombed by someone unknown. So we just acted in self-defense. I don't know anything else."
Ji Hui said this lightly, and the sound of the buildings above shaking constantly during the bombing also made Ruth slightly startled.
"Are you sure this institute won't really collapse?"
"Don't worry, this little shaking is within my expectations. Even if it really collapses, Miao Lin can get us out."
"Compared to that, you should just focus on making the Broadsword mines and let Miao Lin fry the fish."
"That being said, we are at an absolute disadvantage."
Listening to the noise above, Ruth's tone became slightly uneasy.
"Although the two of them can send the magic bomb out to detonate it, it's limited to the ground. If they all fly up together, then Miao Lin and Li Xiang will be sitting ducks, and they'll be the ones to get blown up."
It was indeed wonderful to rely on the blood mist they spread to confuse the opponent's perception, and then send magic bombs to attack like landmines, but the most deadly thing was that they were facing a group of magical girls.
How could a magical girl not even be able to fly?
So they could continue bombing after leaving the ground, while Ji Hui and his team were completely blind.
"Don't worry, I guessed that, so just wait and see."
However, Ji Hui's tone was still very relaxed, and his words, full of calmness and confidence, made Ruth feel a little more at ease.
"I was the one who chose this location. How could I possibly do something like walking into a trap?"
Moreover, the lingering feeling that he seemed to still have various hidden cards made Ruth mutter under her breath.
"How long have you been secretly planning this?"
It was as if she had already had the Starlight Church under her thumb from the very beginning. From conversations to hostilities, and even attacks from the other side, everything was completely under her control. It was as if she was treating those nuns like puppets, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"Who knows? I don't know what you're talking about. After all, it was all decided by the nuns themselves, right? It has nothing to do with me."
"They were the ones who chose to be hostile to us. They were the ones who refused to obey and shouted that they wanted to destroy us. They were the ones who set a trap to get us here. Now, they are the ones who decided to bomb us and the institute with us."
"So, no matter what we do, we're just acting in self-defense. Relax, just set up the field magic and wait for them to come in on their own initiative."
Ji Hui said leisurely, causing Ruth to sigh slightly.
"You really know how to order people around. You just sucked a little blood, and now you're going to use it all up."
"At worst, I can make up for it later. After this fight, we can celebrate properly. Anyway, I'm leaving it to you."
After saying this, he hung up the headphones, making Ruth's expression even more distressed.
This guy shouldn't have any evil intentions towards Chizuru and the others, right?
However, this slight worry quickly disappeared from her mind. After taking a deep breath, she strengthened her control over the blood-colored fog that filled the research institute.
This disguise is very important. She cannot relax before they officially invade, otherwise Lixiang and Miao Lin will be in trouble.
Even though they heard Diana's warning, some combat nuns were still affected by the red light that erupted from the ground due to the suddenness and urgency of the situation. They were knocked out and cried out in pain from the corrosive magic that was like sulfuric acid.
However, after all, they had all taken various protective measures, so apart from looking a little embarrassed, they did not actually suffer any fatal injuries.
But even so, the shock just now made their faces look unsightly.
Especially Zhinia, who reacted more quickly and flew up to avoid harm, had a gloomy look on her face.
"They used this method to counter us, like landmines being planted right under our feet."
Diana, whose breathing was a little rapid, also spoke, which made her turn her head slightly and look at the other nuns who also reacted in time and began to leave the ground with their companions.
"It doesn't matter. If they want to plant a bomb under us, we should just stay in the air."
"If they have the guts, just show up and let them emerge from the ground. As soon as they appear, we'll blast them into dust in one go."
After saying this coldly, Zhinia also shouted into the headset.
"Everyone, keep going, keep the choir going, keep the bombing going—"
stab
A sharp sound of electricity rang in her ears, causing her pupils to shrink and she subconsciously raised her head.
Several nuns who flew high up because of the sudden bombing seemed to be electrocuted. Their whole bodies trembled violently when they hit the translucent barrier that appeared at some point. Then they fell down with a little smoke like a kite with a broken string.
Air-avoiding barrier!?
With a flash of surprise in her eyes, Zhinia suddenly reacted and shouted.
"Everyone, please stay where you are. We've set up a barrier to avoid the air. If you rise too high, it will..."
However, even though 5 responded immediately, under the previous order, many nuns still crashed into the air-avoidance barrier covering the entire research institute when they flew into the sky, and were knocked back by the magical electric shock, making their faces even worse.
Chapter 286: Avoiding the Air Barrier
As the Dark Mace Garden's research institute, in order to resist sneak attacks and blows directly from the air, they naturally set up an air-avoidance barrier in advance, thereby limiting the movable area and making it so that most people can only enter the institute through direct contact.
This makes sense and is necessary to ensure security in most important areas.
But why at this time?
Did they forget to dismantle it before evacuating? While they were encircling and suppressing the enemy, while they were attacking from underground, while they were trying to take shelter in the air?
The feeling that all these coincidences happened together made Zhinia's expression even more angry.
"Choir, can we set up a barrier on the surface to avoid bombing from underground?"
Looking at the other nuns who couldn't fly or stay on the ground, and could only be bombarded by completely random blood magic again and again in anxiety and tension, Zhinia quickly asked.
"Of course you can, but that would also hinder the release of the Demon Purifying Light."
Mavis's voice came, and Zhenya also heard the explosion coming from her side.
"The scale of this underground structure isn't limited to what's visible on the surface. Part of it lies beneath us. Setting up a barrier would be like bombing our own walls, disrupting our formation."
Her words made Zenia look at Diana beside her hesitantly, causing her to shake her head slightly, suggesting that her magic detection was still ineffective.
"Notify everyone. Have half of the nuns form a Holy Guard and go underground in teams of four. After eliminating those troublesome demons, have the choir above ground do a thorough final cleanup."
"The three demons, Miao Lin, Ruth, and Funado Rika, are the primary targets. Once they are eliminated, everyone must evacuate immediately."
After hesitating for a while, Zhinia sighed slightly and informed members of other departments.
Although she really wanted to save trouble by relying on a magical bombardment, the current situation was obviously not something that could be solved so easily.
Since that extraterritorial demon wants to confront them head-on so much, then just come directly.
Under her command, the original team began to regroup.
Two combat sisters, a demon-exorcist sister from the choir, and a medical sister from the hymn class ()*⊥{留,≠*(舞?拘#潵∈令±VII∷, this is the composition of the Holy Guard.
They formed a formation under good discipline, and under the cover of other companions who remained on the ground, they withstood the blood-red bombs continuously sent by Miao Lin and Funado Rika, and began to directly blast open the door that collapsed under the attack of the Demon-Purifying Light, and sneaked into the underground.
Although the dense magical fog prevented the choir from sensing Ji Hui and the others' exact location underground, their initial impression was still similar! Diana's notification had been passed down to all of them, so the moment they entered the underground building, they dispersed based on their positions before being shielded, searching for any trace of Ji Hui and the others.
Even though the bombing of the Demon-Purifying Light had stopped after their companions had infiltrated, the previous turmoil and attacks had already caused many places underground to almost collapse, making those heavy stones an obstacle to the Holy Guard's advancement. They had to use magical attacks to completely destroy the collapsed rubble and clear a path.
The feeling that their colleagues were getting half the result with twice the effort also made them look a little bit resentful.
However, after learning from the information that Miao Lin and Funado Rika had the special ability to penetrate objects, they did not dare to relax at all. While the exorcist nun in the choir used magic to clear the roadblocks, the other three nuns also remained vigilant nearby.
In the intricate underground passages, the roar of other companions clearing obstacles continued to echo, and it seemed that they had not yet been officially attacked by the enemy.
But even so, the pervasive smell of blood still made them frown slightly.
After chanting a few lines in a low voice, a faint light bloomed from the hands of the medical sister. The warm and sacred light dispelled the originally cold and damp blood color and purified the ominous aura.
Clearing away the blood mist that obscures their presence is also one of their tasks here.
As they go deeper, the blood mist will be gradually erased, and the scene of the underground structure will be revealed again bit by bit, allowing their companions on the ground to re-detect the situation below and respond with timely warnings.
They are different from this group of rabble. Whether it is support or combat cooperation, they are far superior to these demons who are not even an organization.
