Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 530: Joint Action

    

know how he had been exposed."The task progress is two out of five, congratulations to the tasker for getting one step closer to completing the task."The speaker's voice echoed in Wu Lianyi's mind.Wh...Just as the three of them let out a sigh of relief, Lian Ri felt a stronger spatial fluctuation. Something was flying out from the center of the Spirit Flower Sea.

Ripples' eyes darkened. Whatever it was, it couldn't enter the Soul Reaver's Hill, he couldn't let the other party discover that the three of them, half-baked as they were, had ruined their plans.

That thing moved incredibly fast, catching both Layla and Leah off guard. While Ripple reacted quickly, her magic circle couldn't stop it. Right now, this unknown object is breaking through Layla's magic formation. If it breaks through Leah's next, it will completely leave the spatial channel and enter here.

Grey and Raul both saw the strange thing. Grey reacted quickly, throwing the memory crystal in his hand to Raul, drawing his sword from his waist. He was a Golden Knight, the highest in combat prowess among them. At this moment, he couldn't possibly hide behind the young lady and young master.

Her reaction was faster than a ripple. She almost instantly summoned Lei Yao into the space, and then declared loudly:

"Leia, my sword is electric. Let's connect it to your magic circle, and I'll draw the lightning!"

Leia didn't ask why, instinctively opening her magical array and accepting the sharp sword.

Lei Yao was originally Ripple's soul sword, its spirit had already been generated. Therefore, after entering Leah's magic circle, it automatically inserted into the center of the magic circle and immediately released its attributes. The purple thunder force instantly spread across the entire magic circle.

Because Leia had opened a water-attribute magic array, Lei borrowed the momentum of the water and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire magic array. At the same time, dark clouds churned above the sky, with flashes of lightning and thunder. Then, a purple thunderbolt as thick as an infant's arm fell without warning.

At the moment Batty saw Lei Yaojian, he felt the ghostly aura on his body instinctively retract. Then, upon seeing the purple lightning that descended from the sky onto the blade, he immediately turned translucent and vanished without a trace.

But as the leader of Soul Hill, he still acted responsibly. He had all the souls temporarily retreat from Soul Hill. Then, when mages arrived due to sensing elemental fluctuations, they saw countless souls gathered outside Soul Hill and mistook it for a soul riot. They immediately began summoning nearby mages to help quell the disturbance.

The things happening outside rippled through a few people, but they didn't notice or care. At this time, they were all focused on the lightning bolt that Lin Ri's sword had drawn down.

Heavenly thunder entered Leia's water magic array through the medium of Lei Yao, trapping whatever was at the front within its grasp. Then, an incessant barrage of lightning attacks followed one after another, relentlessly winding around this unknown object.

At this moment, the ripples revealed a vessel that resembled a lifeboat. It was a spacefaring craft shaped like a rope, and two people were likely inside. Due to the combined assault of lightning and water-based magical attacks, the ship had sustained heavy damage. The people inside were probably in distress, too terrified to leave the wreckage. Exiting would mean certain death.

"Leia, force that thing back!"

Ripples immediately said that she wanted to send the spaceship back before the spatial channel completely closed. They didn't belong here anyway, and this would also intimidate the other side, making them retreat.

"Yes!"

Leia majored in magic, her physical attributes couldn't compare to Lian's. Her face was a little pale, but luckily she was quick-witted and had prepared potions to replenish her energy beforehand. She had already chugged two vials while Rayo Sword drew lightning to attack the sudden intruder, so she was still relatively capable.

After hearing the ripples' words, she cut her palm and clenched her magic staff, letting blood spread across the entire staff. Then, with a light touch on the ground, the entire magical array slowly descended, forcing the unknown object to sink as well.

"Lai Ye, first take down your magic array!"

La Ye immediately touched his earth-attributed formation with his magic staff, the formation dissipated in an instant. He immediately drank two vials of restorative potion and stared intently at the actions of his young master.

With the help of Raje's magical array, the metallic magical array's power remained undiminished. This time, she was going to tear that spaceship to shreds.

Unbeknownst to others, she was very clear about this: these people were not friendly. Their purpose was to seize the resources of this plane and keep everyone here as their prey.

And that spaceship clearly had weapons, it just because they struck first and didn't give the other side a chance to fight back, otherwise it would have been another fierce battle.

Two people, still alive, stared with terrified eyes at the ripples of black hair and purple pupils.

Ripple stood steadily on the magic circle, her purple-black robes billowing, her black hair flying, and a faint smirk playing at the corner of her lips. Her cold purple eyes sent shivers down their spines, this was the last image they ever saw.

Because the ripple's divine consciousness had already transformed into needles, piercing into both of their minds, it confirmed that neither of them had any resistance ability. Then, it activated the magic circle, stuffing the spaceship back into the spatial channel, and quickly shrunk the metallic magic circle. With a wave of its hand, it sent the magic circle along with that dilapidated spaceship into the spatial channel.

The magic circle cleaved through the opponent's established passage, pushing the dilapidated spaceship back. Whether it could return to its original location was no longer Ripple's decision.

"Lā yě!"

With ripples accomplishing their purpose, he immediately retreated back to the fringe of the Sea of Fallen Souls, stumbling twice before regaining his balance.

La Ye immediately activated her earth magic array, firmly sealing the spatial rift that had been shattered by the ripples. The ethereal Soulflower also stabilized once more, but the center of the flower sea was bare and empty, devoid of any blossoms. It was clear that the power of the Soulflower had been completely depleted.

After everything returned to calm, ripples recalled his Raiyo Sword.

Leia also retracted her magic circle, collapsing directly onto the ground and gulping down a vial of restorative potion before speaking:

“We really did it!”

Gray sheathed his sword and immediately went to Leia's side, carefully lifting her up, and said with a smile:

"Miss Leia is amazing, you did it! That monstrosity has been driven back."

Raul excitedly approached Ripple, saying with a smile:

"I recorded the entire process with a memory crystal, not missing a single detail. This time, we're going to make a name for ourselves in the Western Continent!"

"Don't worry about fame or fortune for now, just go and gather the Soul Blossoms. Before, Barty agreed to allow you to take ten if you repaired this place. You better hurry!"

"Don't worry, I'm a professional when it comes to herbal medicine!"

Raul handed the memory crystal to Ripple and then turned to go pick flowers in the flowerbed he had seen before.o do with you"Mò Wǎn Fēng approached the ripples and Ràn Miào Lán silently, without a trace, and asked alertly.After all, he didn't know the other person, but the other person seemed to know him."Mo,...
