Using the lives of a large number of innocent people as a threat, forcing Luo Meng to take the initiative to fall into an advantageous position for the enemy...
The intention was obvious and could be guessed, but it was a real conspiracy. Luo Meng had no choice but to fall into the trap.
"You are asking for death."
Romon completely ignored the accusations of the "Secret Saint" Fasti and said expressionlessly:
"The traces left by this 'secret realm projection' in the real world are as prominent as the sun in the sky in the eyes of the fourth-level transcendents. And now in the Imperial National University, besides me, there are at least three people with the strength of the fourth level.
"Don't think you can rest easy in your area of expertise. Even if all the top forces of your sect were combined, it would be difficult to compete with this kind of lineup."
"Is it?"
Fasti raised the corners of his mouth in a playful manner, and suddenly waved his arms to both sides, and the wide sleeves of his dark purple robe made a crackling sound.
"Then give it a try."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
A series of cloud-piercing and rock-shattering explosions occurred without warning around Romon. The colors floating and flowing around him seemed to be given life and rolled towards him all at once.
Parallel to this, there were countless creatures from the mysterious realm. They carried their shapeless, translucent bodies and swarmed over with screams like the wails of evil spirits, swallowing up Romon in an instant.
"Stab it! Stab it! Stab it!"
The moment it touched Roman's body, it seemed as if a series of invisible but extremely sharp and violent forces burst out one after another. The spirited old man was suddenly torn into pieces like a piece of paper in a storm without any resistance.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, briefly dyeing the chaotic space red.
"……oh?"
Seeing how easy it was to do it, a trace of surprise appeared on Fasti's skinny face. After a moment, strong ridicule quickly spread, causing him to laugh unscrupulously:
“Hahahahahaha!!!
"I take back what I said before. Nineteen years have passed. It's not that you haven't changed at all. You've become weaker! Extraordinarily weaker! As expected, that betrayal has cost you an irreparable price!"
"Gulu gulu gulu..."
A lot of bubble-like sounds emerged from the void, and pieces of purple-black flames emerged, expanded, and spread. In the blink of an eye, they formed a ball of fire as huge as a hill.
The purple-black flames burned fiercely, looking extremely evil.
"Plop! Plop! Plop!..."
This ball of purple flame was like a beating heart, contracting and expanding rhythmically, heavy and powerful, with each beat emitting a dull sound that penetrated the heart.
Surging energy burst out from this dancing ball of purple flame, sweeping radiatingly in all directions, creating visible ripples in space.
The flowing filthy colors were swept away with a brush, and those strange creatures in the mysterious world melted and evaporated on the spot, turning into ashes just by being touched by them like a dragonfly touching the water.
In an instant, the area around the ball of purple-black flame was cleared to create a pure vacuum without any visible or invisible objects, like a lonely star hanging high in the starry sky.
After "jumping" several times in succession, the purple flame suddenly shrank inward rapidly and condensed into Luo Meng's body.
"It's a relief that you can even unfold your 'mythic form', but I wonder...how long can you maintain this state?"
Fasti put his hands behind his back and said sarcastically with a wild smile:
"Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Or half an hour? Hahahahaha, the former 'Saint of Deconstruction' can now only barely maintain the strength of a newly promoted Metallurgist. This is the price of betrayal!"
While he was talking, his actions were not idle at all.
The same purple-black flames continuously poured out from the chaotic colors of the secret realm, carrying a chaotic aura and disintegrating everything it encountered.
Invisible explosions burst out continuously, and every rupture urges the surrounding colors and mysterious creatures to rush towards a certain location. The power it brings is like a rolling jungle of thorny blades, crushing any matter that dares to block along the way.
Purple beams of light gathered behind Fasti, and after a very short period of energy storage, they shot out with a bang, drawing smooth and round arcs, densely packed and intertwined like a spider web...
And these strange and overwhelming attacks all point to the same target without exception -
Romon!
For a moment, the secret space that was so vast that its boundaries were barely visible was filled with flying rays, flames, and ghosts. The sounds of explosions, cracks, screams, cries, and whistles were heard incessantly, and the scene was in chaos.
"Let me remind you."
His body was surrounded by faint purple-black flames. While dodging and resisting Fasti's various attacks, Romon slightly raised his chin and said in a stern voice full of warning:
"The 'Apostle of the Sunset Church' has memorized your presence. It won't be long before He descends upon you... As I recall, you don't have the combat power of a demigod, right?"
"That's right." Qi Ji said with agreement.
"..."
The air was strangely silent for a few seconds. Whether it was Fasti who was attacking frantically, or Romon who was running around in the secret realm in a hurry, their faces were frozen.
"…Who are you?"
After a brief pause, Roman was the first to react. He turned his head with a strange expression and looked at the beautiful cloaked girl who appeared motionless.
=========================
I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival! Remember to eat well~!
As the school season begins, I wish you all academic progress and high scores!
Chapter 352 Actors please take their places
Fasti followed Roman's gaze and immediately saw the source of the female voice.
It was a girl I had never seen before. She was wearing a long black cloak in a classical and mysterious style. She had long, smooth black hair draped behind her and had a slender figure.
She looked to be about fifteen years old, with a childish look between her eyebrows, but her incomparably beautiful face was still captivating, and even he, who thought that his heart would not be affected by anything other than his devotion to the Lord, felt somewhat amazed.
She stood prettily in the chaotic void, with her hands on the back of her head, her expression relaxed and serene, as if she was watching a play, her dark brown eyes moving between the two of them.
“This place is bigger than I thought.”
She smiled charmingly, turned her head and looked around at the terrifying and mysterious colors and ghosts around her. Her expression did not show any tension or uneasiness, as if this was not a strange secret place where good or bad luck could not be predicted, but a beautiful flower bed in a community park:
"When I was outside, I thought it was only a few kilometers in size, but it turned out to be even larger than Twilight City... As expected, I made a wrong guess because I'm not familiar with this place?"
Seeing that the girl was talking to herself and seemed to ignore everyone else, Fasti was not offended but became cautious.
After calming down a bit, he straightened his back and said in a confident yet not overbearing manner:
"Ma'am, this is a private matter between us... May I ask what you want?"
The girl's position formed an equilateral triangle with himself and Roman. She did not attack or help anyone, and it was not known which side she stood on, so Fasti did not act rashly.
Her level of strength is still unclear at the moment, but since she was able to enter the independent secret realm she had carved out so quietly, then at least in terms of level, she has reached the fourth level... She is not the kind of ant that can be crushed to death at will.
Hearing Fasti's question, Qi Ji seemed to have just realized that there was someone else here. He said "uh" softly and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
The corner of his mouth slightly raised an intriguing arc:
"Hey, we meet again, that saint."
"you know me?"
Fasti frowned slightly at the other party's casual and perfunctory address, and was suddenly surprised.
He quickly responded to the strong people in his impression, but he couldn't find anyone who could match the characteristics of the black-haired cloaked girl in front of him.
There is no doubt that this is the first time I see her.
"Tsk, finally I get a chance to meet this guy for a while."
Compared to the other party's strangeness and confusion, for Qi Ji!, "The Secret Saint" Fasti is basically an old acquaintance.
After a quick calculation with my fingers, I realized that he and I should have had at least three encounters during this period of time.
They were the outskirts of Loen City, the chaotic battle at Dusk Sea, and when Bernice went out to investigate in order to gain "merit".
However, in these intersections, Qi Ji himself played the role of either a spectator hiding in the dark or a behind-the-scenes manipulator "strategizing".
From Fasti's perspective, he had indeed never come into contact with him, so it was normal that he didn't know him.
Qi Ji had no good feelings towards Fasti, a madman who was a fanatic and worshipper of the evil god, so she ignored him and turned to look at Roman, who was also wary:
"I appreciate your kindness. But the problem with that guy has been basically solved, and now she is back to where she belongs."
"Well?"
Hearing her somewhat inexplicable words, Luo Meng was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted, a glimmer of sudden enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Qi Ji and nodded slightly, saying:
"So it's you... I also have to thank you for saving my students from these lunatics."
He knew from the beginning that there must be a high-level extraordinary person behind Donna and the vampire girl to support them, and he highly suspected that the master standing behind them was most likely the same person.
The reason why he has always been kind to these two girls is mainly because at this critical juncture, Roman does not want to offend anyone again.
As long as the other party does not cross his bottom line - harming innocent teachers and students in the school - then he is willing to turn a blind eye.
Now it seems that this approach is correct. Because of his kindness, the master behind Donna and Bernice not only did not choose to stand against him, but also had a tendency to help him.
But what surprised him was that this "master" was actually a little girl who looked so young. In his mind, he had always imagined this person as a white-haired, majestic, and respected old man.
"..."
Fasti, who was standing nearby, listened to the conversation between the two and his expression quickly darkened. The gloom accumulated in his sunken eyes became even darker.
He nodded imperceptibly and whispered coldly:
"Then they are enemies."
As he spoke, he waved his right arm, like a flag giving orders on the battlefield. The never-ending colors and ghosts in the endless secret realm suddenly became crazy, emitting indescribable ghost howls and wolf howls, and charged towards Qi Ji and Luo Meng at the same time.
"Wow, that's urgent."
Facing an attack that was as violent as the collapse of the sky and the earth, Qi Ji stood still, relaxed and comfortable in his place, allowing himself to be engulfed by the energy that was enough to disintegrate all matter into dust.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
At the same time, beams and runes composed of purple-black flames also enveloped Roman from all directions, rolling towards him with the force of thunder, and the sound made was like a mountain collapsing.
"Uh!"
A faint cry of pain was heard, but it was soon covered by the deafening explosion and tearing sound.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!..."
Several flames, also purple-black but slightly different from the flames released by Fasti, seeped out from the gaps between the dense attacks.
In the blink of an eye, they crossed a distance of thousands of meters and gathered again in a relatively safe space.
But just as his body was reorganized, the colors and ghosts around him became restless again and attacked him like crazy.
Romon had no choice but to repeat the same old trick, briefly deploying the "mythical form" to resist and evade Fasti's almost continuous attacks, looking very reluctant and panicked.
"Humph, these are just cowards who run away with their heads in their hands. There is nothing to be afraid of."
On the other hand, Fasti was in a much more relaxed state. He raised his chin proudly and looked down at everything that happened here from a condescending attitude, like a manipulator in control of the overall situation.
He obviously had a lot of spare strength left. Not only could he easily command the energy and creatures in the secret realm to attack, but he could also pay attention to Qi Ji's situation.
Romon’s strength is now greatly reduced, and if he does not unfold his “mythical form” he will be completely unable to resist his own attacks.
As a "metallurgist" without divinity, the time to unfold the "myth form" is extremely limited. Once overloaded, the result will inevitably be madness and loss of control...
That would be the same as being dead. Then I would just need to control this independent secret realm and throw him back to the real world. No matter how many casualties there were outside, it would have nothing to do with me.
Therefore, compared to the time it would only take for him to kill Luo Meng, he was more concerned about the mysterious black-haired girl...
There was no intelligence indicating the existence of such a legendary powerful being... She was a "variable" completely beyond the plan.
Rolling his eyes, Fasti focused his attention on the position where Qi Ji was before.
After she suffered the first round of attacks launched by herself, she had no reaction at all. Apart from the floating colors and wandering ghosts, there was no other movement in that area.
But Fasti understood that the other party was a strong man of at least the fourth realm, and it would not be so easy to kill him. Now he was either hiding somewhere and watching, or had already escaped.
In order to determine which situation it was, he expanded his perception and began to carefully scan this huge independent secret realm.
This is the territory he carved out personally. He knows the situation here very well. No one can hide here...
"Are you looking for me?"
"!"
His thoughts were interrupted instantly, the hairs on his body stood up, his pupils contracted sharply, and intense fear strangled his heart.
Because the voice just now... came from behind me!
"boom!"
