Chapter 386 First Night ([-])—Miss, the carriage is ready!

The weapon in Ersha's hand is a short infantry gun about two meters long. The golden blade and the surrounding electric arc show its extraordinaryness all the time, as if it will roar out in the next second.

As soon as the words fell, Erza raised her hand, threw the golden holy spear into the sky, and rushed forward with the round shield in her hand.

Erza, that Erza, the demon hunter of Sequence 6, Blade of Light and Shadow, the so-and-so of Griffith, she is also the chosen one!
A series of thoughts flashed through her mind, almost causing Galadia to lose her mind.In the blink of an eye, the huntress swung her round shield and swept head-on.

With the power of the extraordinary, the blunt weapon's heavy blow is unstoppable.If it hits, even the pillars of the Senate Hall can be smashed.The howling wind pressure and the dazzling golden light blatantly struck. In the panic, people inevitably had the idea that the only way to avoid the fatal blow was to bend down or take a step back.

If you dodge down, you will hit Ersha's greaves and knees directly; if you choose to retreat, you will not be able to avoid the impact.The huntress has increased her speed. With her agility, she can change the angle as she likes during the charge, connecting consecutive attacks from any direction.If the big jump opened the distance, the buzzing spear was falling from the sky, and it had clearly predicted the route of the big jump backwards, only waiting for the reckless prey to hit it by itself.

Galadia's eyes moved, and her keen perception had already detected the combination of Erza's combo, and predicted her prediction.Before the golden shield swept past, she jumped in place, her nimble body curled and rolled upwards like a reverse dive, unexpectedly passing above the unreasonable.

While avoiding the shield, Galadia pressed down with her nimble hands, twisting the shield in the sweeping direction.Just by pressing and turning, the golden round shield in Erza's left hand came out and flew towards the open space on one side.

The moment the shield flew away, Erza flashed out from the blind spot of her sight.She didn't change direction or pause, but moved forward in small steps along the sprint track, and then twisted her amazingly elastic waist, spinning and flying, and her right leg swept towards the falling elf from behind.

So fast, a formidable enemy!
Galadia noticed the long legs sweeping towards her. She was falling, and she had nowhere to rely on her strength. Still relying on her back to exert strength, her hands crossed and locked forward, clasping them on Erza's right calf.

"Magic power released!" Galadia snorted lightly.As a dual-attribute Extraordinary, she can not only use the ranger's agile physical characteristics to fight, but also mobilize magic power to strengthen herself at any time.As soon as the prefabricated spell command came out, the surging magic power had already spun on her arms, greatly strengthening her physical strength and shield strength in a short period of time!
Erza just realized that her leg strike was caught, and she was thrown to the ground by an irresistible brute force.

"Bah!"

This fall came so suddenly.Erza bent her hands, took off half of the impact of landing on the ground, then shielded her face, and slapped the ground with a muffled sound.Before the dizziness and shock of hitting the ground subsided, she braced her body, pushed herself up with both hands, and at the same time curled her waist, and punched back at the elf who was clasping her calf.

"Buzz!" There was a loud noise in the air, and Erza's holy spear had just fallen to the ground at this moment, piercing deeply into the ground.

Galadia was punched hard on the cheek, and the slightly fishy taste soaked into her mouth, even her heart trembled, and she took two steps back.She hastily let go to grab the war blade at her waist. Before sheathed it, she touched her waist with one hand and slapped her wrist. The half-inch silver knife that had just been drawn fell to the ground with a clang.

Miss Fairy's slim figure became illusory in an instant, like a reflection in a lake, which would disappear at any moment.Erza took a lightning step forward and stepped on the elf's instep.

However, Erza felt that her feet were abnormal, as if she had stepped on a stiff old tree root in the forest.Before the huntress looked down, a mass of curly roots had risen in front of her, and the elf disappeared, replaced by thorny bushes that stretched and twisted like a human, with dense branches, leaves, and roots embracing her from all directions. .

Summoning, this is a combo skill that replaces one's own position with a plant summoning and imprisons the opponent at the moment when the Ranger's Fengxing ability is used to escape!There was a flash of light in Ersha's eyes, and a silver-white arc swept out, piercing towards the roots.

The figure of Galadia appeared in the open space more than ten yards away, and distanced herself from Erza to the right and to the left.Without stopping for a moment, she jumped back a few times, and jumped directly onto the city wall of the Golden Horn Bay.

The roots that had just been entwined were falling off sparsely, and the flashing lightning on Erusa's body scorched the thorns surrounding her, turning them into a pile of black coals on the ground.

Erza raised her right hand, waved it lightly, and the holy spear inserted into the ground ejected by itself, and fell back into her hand steadily.

"You are very nice~ It seems that we can have something more exciting. When I played with Griffith last time, he made me a little dissatisfied."

Galadia's teeth were about to shatter.She pulled up her phoenix-like longbow, put a beam of light arrows condensed with psionic energy on the string, and whispered the mantra to open the treasure.

"I'm angry, I'm angry~" Erza stuck out her tongue, set up her shield, and put away the holy spear.

First a frenzied storm howled over the walls and streets, then turned to a murmur, which was silent for a moment.The sound of the whole world seems to be captured, the air is oppressive and suffocating, it seems that everything is going to be absorbed into the black hole that cannot break free.

The talisman on Erza's collar suddenly flashed, leading her to disappear from the spot in a flash of lightning.

"Om-"

A particle beam left the string, opening a large hole where the Huntress had just stood.There was even a flow of molten magma appearing on the edge of the pit.The blow was so fast that it was dizzying, and the moment Galadia let go, the ground had already exploded.The second beam followed, chasing the galloping footsteps of the huntress.

This blow was already unavoidable.Erza raised the golden shield in her hand, and the beam of light hit the shield surface with a strange bend, shooting towards the black clouds in the sky.

……

"boom!"

The entire Baiyelan was awakened from sleep.A bright orange light tore through the sky from the Golden Horn Bay in the northeast of the city, illuminating midnight like day.Immediately afterwards, the seaport in the south of the city also set off an earth-shaking explosion. The orange mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, and the shock wave even made the window glass groan.

In the magnificent mansion of the de Lockhavert mansion in the upper city, Miss Laura de Lockhavert, one of the chosen ones, stood anxiously by the French windows, staring at the terrifying arc of light, and said in a low voice:
"This is only the first night, really only the first night! It's only an hour before the opening, and we're already getting started. Are the chosen ones all lunatics and monsters? Don't they care about the impact on civilians! "

"Laura, come back from the window, you will be sniped. The chosen ones are not the only ones who turn into monsters."

A tall, bright, blond young woman sat on a low stool by the piano and whispered a reminder.Wearing a military uniform, boots, and a silver breastplate, she touched the keys of the piano with some longing, then retracted her gaze, and comforted softly:
"Your Shutoral and knight, Heidirich Himmeier, will never let anyone and monsters harm you. Our contract has noble blessings, and victory will be won."

"You're so kind," Miss Laura blinked her eyes happily, "Heidirich, if you were a man, we'd already be here~"

"Goddess of Fate has appointed a female knight for you. I'm so sorry." Heidirich brushed her waist-length blond hair, grabbed the saber beside her and stood up. "Then, since the battle has begun, we will also press Make plans to transfer."

Miss Launa nodded, and walked out the door, still a little reluctant to part: "Actually, this mansion is also a very good stronghold, isn't it? The family has set up countless defensive and security circles over the years, and the halls and corridors are also It has been transformed into a labyrinth for captive magical creatures, isn't this an excellent fortress?"

"That's true, but the defense arranged by magic will still be restrained by some mysterious means, after all, it is a passive defense."

Laura and her female knight came downstairs without saying a word.Two handsome maids were in the courtyard, packing packages into the carriage.

"Nara, Siferiko, the rest of the family has been evacuated, it's really hard work for you." Miss Laura said softly.

Her maid didn't seem to feel tired at all, and the girl named Siferiko opened the door of the carriage with a smile:

"Miss, the carriage is ready."

"Hmm." Miss Laura lifted her skirt and walked down the steps with the help of the female knight, not forgetting to look at the street outside the courtyard.

The curfew night is quiet, only the occasional creak of falling snow crushing branches.

"It feels so quiet, and there are no pedestrians on the street..."
