Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 577: Eliminating Heretics

Emilia floated in the air, her long hair swaying gently in the vortex of magic, like a shadow woven by moonlight. Her white wings spread out behind her, trembling slightly, like an angel blessed by light in the holy book.

Emilia - "Light Speaker", the youngest of the Four Saints of Purification, but also the one that enemies fear the most. Her voice does not belong to this world. It is rumored that she was born in front of the Chenyin Stone Monument in the Holy See Temple, and was predicted to be the "Daughter of Heaven's Speech", whose words can determine life and death, and control fate.

This time, she intended to end the battle.

Her eyes were fixed on the blazing flames tearing through the sky and earth. Emilia crossed her arms over her chest and chanted softly:

"In the name of my god, I cause its structure to collapse, its language to become disordered, and its runes to shatter—Remove the curse: Ode to the Ten Thousand Voices!"

Her voice did not come out of her mouth, but vibrated the space with a "conceptual frequency". Every syllable fell, accurately aimed at the nodes of the magic array structure in the Sky Gate. Ordinary magic structures mostly rely on runes to conduct and magic power to flow, and language is only used as a guide. But her light language is the ultimate combination of divine magic and language - using language to dismantle the rules themselves.

However, she ignored the enemy this time.

Starfall, the magic circle he designed himself that ignited the sky.

Mo did not give the control of the formation to external runes, nor did he entrust it to the self-calculating magic core, but instead -

Embed your soul into it.

Soul Anchor Point, this is a forbidden magic array technique. The practitioner anchors a part of his soul into the structure, and the array is no longer a cold rule-executing machine, but a living structure with "consciousness" and the ability to actively judge and counterattack.

As soon as Emilia activated her light language, the entire Sky Gate suddenly trembled—

"……bite."

There was a crisp sound like glass breaking coming from the air under her feet. It was not a physical sound, but a reminder that the soul's defense layer had been penetrated.

Immediately afterwards, a backlash force rolled back from the depths of the magic circle!

"How...how could it be--" Her pupils shrank slightly.

Her words were actually "understood" - the formation understood her command and then fought back.

"Noisy."

In response to her, it was Mo's whisper.

The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder. It was not transmitted through the air, but echoed directly in Emilia's consciousness.

She saw flames begin to gather, as if the entire sky was trembling at his whisper, and a huge fire dragon slowly snaked down from the crack in the sky.

There was no roar, no wings, only endless heat and soul-tearing pressure - that was the embodiment of the will of fire, and it was the fire dragon formed when Mo injected the thought of "burning all enemies" into the fire element.

The fire dragon pierced through the clouds, and lightning jumped along its scales like thunder attached to the bones.

Its target was Emilia.

She suddenly realized the danger, flapped her wings, tried to distance herself, and the spell changed instantly:

"Light Barrier - Raise!"

A round shield of holy light unfolded from her chest, layered like a holy curtain of light.

But—it’s no use.

The fire dragon did not hit her shield, but went straight through it.

At that moment, Emilia saw that what was flickering in the Flame Dragon’s eyes was not primitive anger or elemental fury, but reason.

Those are Mo's eyes.

The flames were like thunder, piercing through my heart.

Emilia's body shook violently in the air, her white holy robe exploded from her waist, and the holy light runes shattered like glass, flying in the air like stardust suddenly shattered in the night sky.

Her abdomen was completely penetrated.

As the flames emerged from her back, they brought out a string of broken holy light. That was the core of the divine power in her body, the organ that had signed a contract with the God of Light, and it was now burning.

“Ugh…Aaaaaah!”

Emilia let out a scream that was almost like crying, her voice was mixed with anger, sorrow, pain, and... a feeling she had never admitted to before -

fear.

She knew from a young age that she was the "Daughter of Light," the kind of person who was destined to stand on the altar forever from birth. She was the one chosen by fate, and had only ever been delivering oracles and eliminating heretics, never really experiencing—

The smell of death.

But now, death was burning inside her.

"I...can't die here...no..." She roared in her heart, her consciousness almost breaking.

Her holy wings were forcibly spread out in the burning. She gritted her teeth with amazing willpower, formed seals with both hands, and the blood flowed from her fingers into the holy seals, condensing her hidden life-saving spell, which was not as pleasing to the eye as the holy spell, but instead had a kind of evil and enchanting feeling.

"Holy Healing Prayer·Sequence Reconstruction——Blood Oath·Triple Blessing!"

This is a secret art of reversal that requires burning the caster's blood, which is equivalent to compressing and burning the priest's lifetime potential in exchange for an extreme self-healing.

Holy light burst out from her chest, and golden feather-like energy slowly emerged from the wound, transforming into a pair of translucent wings that gently spread out outside her body, as if supporting her life.

Her body was recovering bit by bit.

The blood stopped flowing, and although her core was ruptured, her injuries were temporarily stabilized and her consciousness was maintained.

Emilia's face was pale, but a stubborn fire was burning in her eyes.

"You wanted to kill me...you were almost there."

Just as the Fire Gate was spinning frantically, preparing to drop the second round of main flames, Emilia suddenly flapped her wings, transformed into a beam of light, and rushed straight into the sky, leaving a golden trail and breaking free from the flames.

Mo stood quietly in the distance, watching her figure fly out of the sea of ​​fire, his eyes motionless.

He did not appear to pursue.

Instead, he uttered a word softly:

“Nice reaction.”

Mo looked at Emilia who had escaped from the flames and continued to chase her. It was not because Mo was kind, but because he had limited means to deal with these Paladin-level warriors. If he hadn't communicated with Xingluo, he wouldn't even be able to create this magic circle, and he would have been trapped in the fog by these four.

However, as the head of the Moonfall Intelligence Organization, he had long been unable to show his emotions, plus he always had a poker face. After repeatedly inflicting heavy damage to the high-level forces of the Holy See, they were in a stalemate for a while and did not continue the attack. However, Mo knew that this was just the brief calm before the storm, as there were still two powerful Paladin-level warriors eyeing him covetously.

Mo chuckled and deliberately increased the magic output of the magic circle. The color of the flame changed again, almost transparent, and more powerful than before. However, this method of exhausting the pond to catch fish was something Mo had to do because the remaining power of the magic circle was not enough to deal with a paladin, let alone two of them: "This is only the first layer of defense of the Sky City Mercenary Group. What other means do you have? Come on."

If you are someone who knows Mo well, you will know that he talked a lot today, which is a manifestation of nervousness and lack of confidence. Fortunately, the other party did not know it, and the situation was at a stalemate for a while.

The two paladins looked at their severely injured companions with uncertain expressions. But at this moment, the voice of the Pope reached here. Like a holy oracle, the light and the voice enveloped the two of them. Their eyes gradually became fanatical, and there was even a hint of scarlet in their eyes.

"Eliminate heresy."
