Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

The next moment, a strong smell of blood hit her in the face, and what appeared before Tricia was a sea of ​​blood and corpses covered with the flesh and blood of black monsters.

She was now in a place like an open-air square. The ground beneath her feet was made of snow-white bricks and stones, covered by a shallow layer of water with black bloodstains and pieces of flesh. Roads radiated out at irregular angles, and were then blocked by uniquely shaped buildings. Most of those buildings were spires, with no doors at the bottom. They looked like watchtowers standing there, but the tops were connected by corridors, which looked like intertwined branches.

"It's not a relic from the Age of Gods."

Tricia made an immediate judgment.

——Everything here does not match the characteristics of the ruins of the Age of Gods. Only the portal and the magical dragon are products of the Age of Gods, while the buildings here are obviously owned by another race.

So...where exactly is this place?

At this time, a group of black monsters rushed up. Tricia keenly noticed that these black monsters were extremely strong and ferocious, and there seemed to be a big gap between them and those black monsters on the ground.

Tricia just glanced at the black monsters, raised her hand and pushed them lightly, and the black monsters were crushed into pieces.

She no longer paid attention to the black monster, her magical vision quickly expanded, and she soared into the sky.

As her vision rose, Tricia narrowed her eyes slightly.

Because, this place is still high in the sky, the moonlight above is still the same, but the clouds slowly passing by in the distance are so close, and a huge and daunting white floating city gradually appears in front of Tricia's eyes - it is called a city, but in fact it should be said that it is an island. The island is like a mountain in the sea, bulging up and down, like a gyroscope that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, floating in the night. In Tricia's vision, complex magic patterns emerged at its bottom, which looked like a large magic that could change the refraction of light. There were also countless various magic circles that could not be seen clearly for a short time, inlaid and piled there in a disorderly manner, and the central part was the main structure supported by several huge azure crystals. The azure crystals exuded a huge but chaotic magical aura, which made Tricia couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The outside of the island is protected by various irregularly shaped magic circles, which are enough to reduce the cold wind and dazzling sunlight in the high altitude, but the means are not sophisticated. The structure is a mixture of ancient magic and magic of the Age of Gods, and some shadows of magic of other systems can be found. They are piled up randomly. To Tricia, it looks like a shack filled with all kinds of debris.

At this moment, Tricia was at an unknown distance in the sky. Directly below her was a square, which was also the location of the portal. From the sky, one could see the streets radiating out from the square, and finally returning to the border like the trajectory of a pinball, and finally converging in the very center of the island, where a magnificent and huge white fortress rose from the ground.

Tricia flew out of the sky island. She cleverly cut a hole in the protective shield so that she could easily pass through. In an instant, a strong cold wind blew in her face, but it did not affect Tricia at all.

She looked down from here outside the island, and just as she expected, this was the height above the central lake. From this height, the huge central lake and the ring-shaped mountain range were only the size of a table. The endless western forest had revealed its borders at this time. The ocean to the west was gleaming in the night, and the distant horizon became an arc. Island scattered here and there, as well as the outline of the distant western continent, were vaguely visible.

At this time, screams came from the island, and soon, dozens of flying black monsters rushed towards Tricia.

167. Thunder Crow

Legends of flying cities have appeared throughout human history, but in fact, most of those records are illusory, and most of them are just fabricated rumors based on hearsay. There are records of this in the ruins of the Age of Gods, but a truly visible and audible flying city that is recognized by everyone has never been discovered.

So Tricia was indeed surprised when she saw the huge aerial fortress in front of her. She was shocked by the magical power required to support such a huge thing, and she was also horrified at the wisdom of the person who created it.

But at the same time, she also felt solemn, because all this was caused by the mutation of the black monster.

What is the relationship between these black monsters and this sky city?

Tricia summoned a crow. With the blessing of Tricia's magic, the crow expanded to be larger than an adult. It immediately rushed towards the monsters flying quickly from a distance, making low and hoarse calls. The black monsters were also huge and strong. The crow's size did not give it an advantage in front of them, but it transformed into a fierce wind blade, which suppressed the black monsters and forced them to retreat in an instant.

Tricia didn't pay attention to the crows' battle, but continued to observe the huge aerial fortress in front of her.

She was looking for the movements of the black monsters. Soon, as Tricia flew higher and higher, everything in the city became clear to Tricia's eyes - she also saw the densely packed black monsters. The black monsters here were indeed different from those on the ground. They were more robust and revealed a more powerful aura in Tricia's magical vision.

It seems that the monsters that appear here have become more powerful. Is it because only powerful monsters come here first, or is it that these monsters originally looked the same, but some changes occurred after coming here?

Tricia didn't think much about it, but observed the monsters.

At this time, they were gathering from all directions towards the towering building in the center, and in Tricia's magical vision, that was the area where the magic power was most concentrated in the city.

She didn't know why these black monsters knew how to open the portal here, nor did she know what their purpose was. But no matter what, the actions of these black monsters were too strange, and Tricia would not let them reach the central tower like this.

"crow--"

Tricia called back the crows, raised her hand in front of her, and pointed at the group of monsters under the distant tower.

"Give you the power of thunder and lightning, and bring me victory—Authority·Thunder Feather!"

Elemental magic is the simplest, most efficient, and most directly lethal magic. A blue magic circle appeared beneath the crow, and the feathers all over its body seemed to be burning, wrapped in blue-purple arcs of electricity. It bathed in this strong magical light, its plump wings slowly folded in, its neck and tail became slender, a few blue feathers bloomed above its beak, and its body became as handsome and strong as a falcon. It screamed loudly, and turned into a purple-black light, piercing the direction of the black monster group, so fast that only a flash of lightning was left.

The crow flew through the group of black monsters at a high speed, immediately bringing up a wave of black blood. At the same time, arcs of electricity shot out, melting through the limbs and flesh of the black monsters. For a moment, the sprayed blood mist was ignited, and the surging magic power collided with each other, instantly causing bursts of explosive fireworks and piercing thunder. It crushed the monster's head with one claw, and the flapping of its wings caused a flash of lightning, reaping the lives of the black monsters and preventing them from moving forward.

Tricia put her hands together, and intricate and gorgeous runes rose up. Azure concentric circles stacked up and slowly rotated, and a huge magic circle quickly took shape.

At this moment, Tricia suddenly felt something strange. She lowered her eyes slightly and saw a strangely shaped tumor appearing between two tall tower buildings in the distance. The tumor took root there like a sprawling giant, with dozens of huge eyeballs on it, some of which were staring straight at Tricia. The root-like tentacles clung to the building, and it could be seen that it was trying to move, but very slowly. The black monsters surrounding it seemed to be its protectors.

Surrounding it were various black monsters, some flying and some crawling, all staring at Tricia with eager eyes. Their black depression was particularly noticeable among the white buildings.

The appearance of this thing immediately reminded Tricia of the "mind-controlling polluter" that appeared in Aisha's description.

When she looked into the dozens of eyes of the tumor, Tricia felt her consciousness sink slightly. The tumor launched a mental attack. The next moment, Tricia saw a vast number of black monsters pouring out from all directions. If it were someone else, they would lose consciousness the moment they were attacked by the tumor's mental attack, unable to control their bodies, and would be torn to pieces by these black monsters immediately.

But this kind of mental attack was child's play for Tricia. The great illusionist Silver Demon General, who was good at mental magic, was much more skilled than this. Tricia easily defended against the piercing mental power and just glared back. The eyes on the tumor suddenly widened, black blood flowed out, and then it lay motionless. It had fallen into the illusion cast by Tricia. The next moment, it screamed madly, and its tentacles shook and trembled like branches hit by a strong wind, and then suddenly pierced into its own eyes and flesh, again and again, without sparing any strength.

Mental magic is a sharp double-edged sword. If the attack fails and is successfully countered by the enemy's defense, the attacker will suffer backlash, suffer mental damage, expose mental weaknesses, and fall under the enemy's control.

The other groups of black monsters that besieged them were also swallowed up by the fierce hurricane in the blink of an eye. The hurricane pierced through the sky and earth, tearing through the clouds in the night sky and smashing the spire building. The defensive magic on this sky island was vulnerable to the hurricane, and the black monsters were directly swept into it. Their strong bodies were easily twisted and torn in the turbulent wind. In the end, the sweeping hurricane turned black, which was the color of the monsters' flesh and blood.

Tricia watched all this - she was not bragging to Elsa. The only person in the world who could make her feel helpless was the unreasonably strong Elsa. As long as she was not facing Elsa, she would be able to fight even against the Demon King himself.

As for these black monsters, Tricia is not afraid at all even if their number is several times greater than this.

But at this time, Tricia noticed something strange.

The floating magic below the sky island was changing rapidly. The torrent of magic slowly rose and then slowly fell. Suddenly, a huge magical shock swept over. Tricia raised her hand to block it. She was safe and sound, but she keenly noticed that the sky island had begun to move.

At first it was so slow that it was invisible to the naked eye, but soon it moved with increasing amplitude, enough to exceed the speed of a flying bird.

Tricia frowned slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sky Island City Square - the portal there was slowly going out.

No one knew who was controlling Sky Island, but it was obvious that the other party had abandoned the portal here and was preparing to escape.

……

168. Jump up

Tricia mobilized the surging magic power and bombarded the huge magical torrent that pushed Sky Island forward, trying to prevent Sky Island from escaping.

But even Tricia, a mystical sage, felt exhausted when faced with the huge torrent of magic that could support such a huge city. Tricia's magic was like a lone wolf moving against the wind and snow, firm and decisive, but insignificant in the biting and vast snow.

Unless she desperately unleashed a forbidden arcane spell to destroy the island's foundation, Tricia could only temporarily slow its progress. However, destroying the island's foundation would be equivalent to causing it to fall, completely destroying this magnificent magical creation—a truly deplorable strategy.

Tricia thought of a solution.

By this time, the teleportation array had completely extinguished, and Tricia could no longer detect the ripples emanating from the portal through her magical vision. This meant that the controller of the floating island had abandoned the connection to the portal in the central lake, at least temporarily. This made it difficult for Tricia to determine the island's location using the "beacon." If she returned to the surface now, she would be unable to find the island.

It was obvious that this Sky Island was planning to escape even if it meant cutting off its own tail.

This island in the sky was so high in the air, and it had magic that refracted light. If it deliberately wanted to hide, no one would be able to find it. Alternatively, it could simply go above the western sea, where even a soaring dragon would have difficulty finding it.

Tricia no longer hesitated. She ordered Crow to block the black monsters, and she turned around and flew at high speed towards the bottom of the sky island.

The cold wind from high altitude rubbed against Tricia's magic shield like a knife, making a teeth-grinding sound. Tricia went directly around the outside of the sky island and came to the bottom of the sky island. She would not let this sky island leave with so many dirty people and black monsters.

The first thing to do is to destroy its light refraction array so that the Sky Island can no longer conceal its existence. This is also to leave a way out for Tricia herself. If anything happens, she can locate the Sky Island again and teleport back.

After destroying the light refraction array, Tricia planned to find the main control mechanism here and try to seize control of the sky island.

What Tricia needs to do is to eliminate the threat of the black monster within the scope of this forest.

But things did not go so smoothly. This sky island had a self-defense mechanism. The bottom of the sky island was made of several large pieces of long, azure prism-shaped crystals. The strong magic fluctuations it emitted were concentrated by the inherent magic circle to form an external magic barrier. Tricia's magic fragmentation only caused slight ripples when it hit the surface.

Tricia's magic power alone was not enough to cause a qualitative change in the face of such a huge magic flow. Tricia snorted coldly, and the light of the magic circle in her hand flickered continuously, turning into a beam of hot blades. She swung the knife, dyeing the sky red, and immediately broke the solid magic barrier, leaving traces of molten lava on the blue crystal. As several magic circles were cut by Tricia's knife, the surging magic power suddenly gushed out from the huge gap in the magic barrier towards Tricia, colliding with the red blade in her hand. Suddenly, lightning and thunder flashed, and fireworks splashed. Eye-catching white light appeared in the night sky, as if to ignite the night.

at the same time--

"Lady Aisha! The teleportation array is about to go out!"

Inksa is a saint, blessed by the goddess and more sensitive to changes in energy. She is only behind Aisha and discovered the disappearance of the energy of the giant sword portal earlier than anyone else.

Sure enough, not long after Inksa finished speaking, everyone watched as the silver light of the portal gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared completely.

"What happened...why did the portal suddenly close?"

Ryan and his men suddenly became anxious. They quickly rewrote the beacon and established a connection, but now the beacon had no feedback. With the portal completely closed, they could no longer detect any fluctuations.

Elsa remained silent, just staring into the air.

"Sage, is she okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's the Sage Lord, what could happen to her? I think the Sage Lord must have discovered something."

Some people talked in low voices, and everyone looked up at the sky, but they could see nothing.

Only Elsa knew what was happening in the sky - although she could not see the outline of the island in the sky, her eyes had been locked on Tricia since she appeared in the sky. Elsa watched Tricia fight, and also saw Tricia trying to attack the island in the sky, but with limited success.

At this moment, something strange suddenly happened in the sky. The colors of fire and lightning permeated the night. The outline of the sky island became dim, and there seemed to be signs of it appearing.

Elsa frowned and looked away.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go help."

As she spoke, Aisha gave the paladins a look, asking them to protect Inksa.

"Don't worry, we'll guard this place."

The paladins performed a standard church knight salute.

Elsa didn't delay any longer. She took the next step under everyone's gaze, leaving a huge pothole under her feet. The ground frozen by Tricia suddenly collapsed completely. Pieces of ice covered with mud formed undulations of various shapes, and Elsa's figure had already jumped directly to the top of the nearest northern mountain range.

Just when everyone was still curious about what Elsa was going to do, they saw the collapse of a mountain amid the creaking sound of the ice.

It was just a matter of a moment. The sky was very quiet under the moonlight, and the collapse of the mountain was only a flash. The next moment, a violent earthquake and smoke rising into the sky controlled the turbulent waves in everyone's hearts. The mountain seemed to be hollowed out from the inside, and circles of heart-pounding waves burst out from the middle to the outside. The thick air column of smoke and dust chased a white figure into the sky, as if chasing the moon. The substantial conical air waves dragged out rings of alternating flashing light, and the figure actually rushed directly into the clouds.

If this kick happened in the central lake, the central lake would be flattened.

Everyone was stunned, and Inksa almost broke her jaw - it turned out that Aisha was planning to jump on it...

The next moment, fierce wind pressure pushed away the gravel and mud like a rotten wood, and the majestic bare rock mountains collapsed and squeezed. The violent wind and waves swallowed countless trees and rocks, and forcibly crushed a second circular mountain area in the north of the circular mountain range. The shock wave had weakened a lot when it spread to the central lake area, but it still rolled up a huge wave on the ice surface.

What followed was a sound wave that almost penetrated the brain.

Everyone was almost numb.

At this time, Elsa had reached a high enough altitude, but there were some deviations from the direction she originally aimed to jump - she saw Tricia and Sky Island in the airspace several kilometers away from her, and these deviations were caused by the differences in air pressure, wind flow and density in the high altitude.

But Elsa was prepared for this. She raised her hand and grabbed towards Tricia and the floating island. Suddenly, ice magic was activated, and bricks made of clean and transparent ice crystals appeared in front of Elsa and stacked up.

She stepped directly on the brick surface, and in an instant, several extremely solid ice mirrors exploded into countless blue gravel, and Elsa's figure was already rushing towards Tricia at high speed.

……

------------

169. How can she compare with Elsa?

Looking down from a high altitude, Tricia could just take in the entire central lake and the ring mountain area.

There wasn't much shock on Tricia's face - although it was a little shocking, Tricia was almost used to Elsa's style.

The huge central lake was no smaller than the Dammas fortress, but this area had become two overlapping rings. The wave-like shockwaves swept across the forest with the northern mountains as the center, leaving a ring-shaped mountain as large as the central lake to the north. The storm when the magic power erupted was extremely gorgeous. Tricia could almost imagine the scene if Elsa's leap took place in a big city like Dammas.

Everything will be crushed and shattered, right?

Tricia suppressed the palpitation that flashed through her mind and looked in the direction of Elsa. Elsa was several kilometers away, leaping towards the sky island at a speed that broke the sound barrier. Her speed was so fast that she created a blurry cloud, so the closer Tricia got, the less clear Elsa's figure became.

Elsa's voice could not keep up with her speed, nor could it reach Tricia, but Tricia knew that Elsa was here to help her. She used the light of magic to mark the magic circle that refracted light, making it extremely eye-catching in the deep night sky.

A tacit understanding formed between Elsa and Tricia. She stepped on the last layer of ice and passed by Tricia.

All Tricia heard was a sharp pop.

The next moment, Elsa easily broke through the huge and solid magic barrier and pierced straight into the gorgeous magic circle under the base of the sky island like a sharp arrow. The magic circle with the huge base of the sky island as its main base was endless. It spared no effort to repel Tricia's flaming blade, and also madly emitted jets of magic at Elsa, trying to wipe out any existence that approached it and threatened it.

The huge amount of magic power that gave Tricia a headache became even more turbulent when facing Elsa, but Elsa was like a burning high-temperature fireball, and the surging magic power was reflected back more violently the moment it met Elsa. In an instant, the boiling magic power shot out and surged, and any magic power close to Elsa was evaporated and ignited, evolving into dazzling colors, as gorgeous as fireworks.

Elsa took aim at the huge magic circle marked by Tricia and kicked it. The huge magic shield immediately made a teeth-grinding sound, like glass being smashed and then the broken debris was ground. Tricia saw the endless blue light extinguished in an instant, turning into countless stars and flying away, which were shattered by Elsa's kick.

As the outermost large-scale defensive magic circle disintegrated, the floating city seemed to shake and scream, and brilliant arcs of light scattered, illuminating the entire night into day.

The magic of light refraction failed, and the huge island floating in the moonlight finally revealed its true form to the people on the ground. The paladin, the magician, and Inksa all looked up blankly at this incredible scene. The huge island was like a giant whale in the sea, no, it was even bigger than a giant whale. It just floated under the moonlight, looking down at the earth from above, silently.

Seeing that the magic circle hiding the floating city had been destroyed, Tricia flew directly above the floating city. Seeing this, Elsa also jumped on the floating ice surface to catch up.

They landed simultaneously in the square where the portal was located.

"Elsa, why are you here?"

There was no spirit in Tricia's dim eyes, while Aisha looked directly at Tricia with a slightly low tone.

"I'm worried about you," Aisha said, looking into Tricia's eyes. "You were clearly struggling a bit just now, weren't you? Please don't force yourself at a time like this. You can lean on me a little."

Tricia pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little warm in her heart.
