Blue Sword

Solomon City, Episcopal Observatory.

The Holy See's chief astronomy project bishop, Gregor Mendel, is quickly directing everyone to closely monitor the moon's data.

"The moon has entered an elliptical low-Earth orbit!" When the alarm suddenly started on the screen, Gregor immediately connected to the communication with the Holy See. "As the external magnetic field of the planet strengthens, the moon's magnetic field is correspondingly disturbed, and the orbit begins to change. !”

"Has the orbit been modeled yet?" Pope Innocent asked.

"It's out. This time's perigee... is closer than the data recorded in history. It is expected to be the largest demon tide in history."

"Keep a close eye on the moon." Pope Innocent replied. "Most of the city's power supply has been cut off. Your project's energy needs will be prioritized until the demonic tide begins to rise."

"Your Majesty, that... information backup, have you done it?"

"The Bishop of the Data Maintenance Center has reported to me that most of the data in the Raphael database has been engraved through mechanical columns, and the probe reader and writer has been debugged." Innocent said slowly, "You don't have to I’m worried that the observatory’s historical data will be destroyed.”

"That's great. I did all-night printing last night and transcribed all the important data." Bishop Gregor breathed a sigh of relief. "May God bless mankind and technological civilization."

"God bless you," Innocent replied.

In Solomon City, all the colorful lights have been extinguished. Tourists looked at the sky uneasily, as if they discovered for the first time that Solomon City would also experience a power outage.

In the Holy Solomon Empire, an instruction message from Emperor Otto was sent to the hands of the major noble lords.

The level of numerical control on Shinra's side is lower, so it is not as seriously affected by the demonic tide as the Holy See. Some noble lords chose to believe the emperor and dug out the underground cable ducts to wait for replacement, but more lords chose to ignore it.

Well, we’ll find out in a few hours whether it’s true or not.

At the bottom of Olin Mountain, the Crusader gunner was reloading cannonballs, and the observer suddenly said:

"Is the moon bigger today than usual?"

"No," the gunner said casually, his eyes fixed on the moon, "Well, it seems a bit big."

"Like breasts," said the observer.

"If it gets bigger, it will look like a butt." The gunner caught the joke, and the two poor men laughed tacitly.

On the top floor of the Orin Tree, a mage apprentice came to the people of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group with an open box.

"Please throw all electronic products in," he said. "When the magic tide rises, electronic products will spontaneously ignite."

Under the leadership of Ask, the girls reluctantly took out their mobile phones and threw them into the box.

"That watch?" The mage apprentice's eyes fell on Nora's white left wrist.

"This is purely mechanical and driven by clockwork." Nora quickly replied.

"Oh." The mage apprentice nodded curiously, completely unaware of how much this kind of watch was worth.

About half an hour later, the box filled with electronic products was placed in the open space by the mage apprentice.

Several firefighters were standing by, with fire extinguishers and water cannons ready.

Once a fire breaks out in the box, it means that the evil tide has officially arrived.

Everyone stared at the box as time passed by.

But still nothing happened.

Nora suddenly became aware of her spirituality and opened her spiritual vision.

Then he saw four transparent spirits emerging from the air and slowly falling around the box.

She began to sing some kind of mysterious, unknown song that was incomprehensible to humans, but that Nora could understand for some reason.

The blood moon is about to set, and the demonic tide is about to rise.

The soldiers faced each other and fought endlessly.

"That's the language of the spirit world." At some point, Appilios had stood behind her and said in a deep voice, "A language that directly affects the spirit body."

"Are you... the city lord?" Out of the spiritual intuition of the same sequence, Nora realized that the guy in front of her was a high-level ability user of the "Spirit Body" sequence, which was so high that she could not understand it.

"Did you see those spirits?" Appilios said. "Before the arrival of human colonists in the First Age, the Cyris Peninsula was the kingdom of the high elves, and this Eden tree was their sacred tree. Tree."

"Every time the demonic tide is about to rise, their priests will climb to the top of the tree and pray in spirit language that their tribe can survive in the troubled times after the demonic tide rises."

"That is to say..." Nora quickly looked at the box containing the mobile phone, and saw that a raging fire had broken out in the box, and firefighters were spraying it with high-pressure water cannons and fire-extinguishing foam.

"This demonic tide is more vast and terrifying than every demonic tide recorded in history..." Appelius sighed lowly and looked at the clouds under the night sky in the distance.

"coming soon."

————————

The demonic tide is rising!

Asik suddenly felt a loosening feeling in his body.

At this moment, the main plane is facing the upper limit of extraordinary level and has been raised to Lv.10.

Then, those Level 5-10 extraordinary creatures that were originally forced to sleep due to the suppression of the demonic tide should now wake up and become active.

Ask looked at the sky in the distance and saw that there seemed to be countless spots of light in the night.

"That is……"

"Thorn Bird!" Appelius immediately turned around and ordered, "Open the life cage!"

The joint mages who had been well prepared quickly activated the magic circle together with the Olin Tree, and a huge translucent spherical wall immediately emerged, almost covering the entire Olin Mountain.

Everyone's thoughts were heavy: Although it was the city lord's order, the Life Cage was one of the last trump cards. How could it be played so easily at the beginning?

Out of desire for extraordinary power, these points of light quickly split into two: one half swooped toward the Crusader camp below, and the other part hit the wall of the life cage.

At this time, everyone saw clearly that every spot of light was a bird covered in needles. Their feathers are bright yellow, fine and grow into the shape of pine needles, giving people a sharp feeling just by looking at them.

"Thorn Bird, the source of spiritual materials for the 'Revenge' and 'Thunder' sequences." Appilios said calmly, as if talking to himself, and as if he was giving science knowledge to everyone in the Blue Sword.

"Their attack methods are mainly pecking and tearing with sharp claws, accompanied by a small amount of electric current, which can cause paralysis when transmitted to the human body."

"The ability of the revenge sequence is to inflict damage to the injured person through a causal link according to a certain percentage while receiving damage."

If you hit it, you will be hurt, but if you don't hit it, you will be paralyzed? How to fight then?

Such difficult thoughts came to the girls' minds.

"Immortal Phantom Sword." Ask said.

"Not bad." Appilios showed an expression of approval, "Immortal Phantom Sword."

Outside the life cage, a flock of thorn birds greedily stared at the large number of extraordinary beings inside and were not allowed to enter. They immediately banged against the walls of the cage crazily.

Every time there was a collective impact, there would be electric current flowing on the wall of the cage. Many thorn birds even had their heads bruised and bled, and they slid straight down the wall.

And this kind of harm also follows the causal link, and is accumulated and transmitted to the harmer in large quantities.

Everyone noticed that the trunk of the Eden tree under their feet began to tremble, as if it was undergoing some kind of increasing pressure, and gradually began to be overwhelmed.

"The life cage can no longer be maintained." Appilios held down Peggy's shoulders and said indifferently, "Launch the Immortal Phantom Sword and separate as many phantoms as possible."

"Don't worry about consumption, I'll provide all the spirituality."
