Breaking the defense, breaking the defense, still breaking the damn defense!
And now, in this ancient relic buried for who knows how long, there exists such a dangerous weapon.
Is this reasonable?
Moreover, it can still be used!
No, is this reasonable!!?
At this mont, Herbert dearly hoped this was just an innocuous joke left by the Elven predecessors for later generations.
How he wished this was all fake, and soone would pop out to mock them.
Ha ha!
Scared, weren’t you?
Just kidding!
No magic energy cannon here!
Just playing a little prank on you~
But he also knew that was probably just his extravagant hope.
Because the crisis... was rapidly escalating!
Thump thump!
The intense life-or-death crisis suddenly paused Herbert’s heartbeat, and the blood in his veins turned cold.
The near-death feeling he experienced when stabbed in the back by the God of Assassination crept up his spine once more.
If the magic energy cannon in this relic is a degraded version, then its power is only legendary... Everyone present might get hurt, but likely they could endure it.
But if... it’s the standard version?
Epic level penetration magic.
Among the four present, probably only Valentina, with full defense, could barely withstand it.
But even she might suffer a breach in defense and be gravely injured!
Moreover, from the crisis I feel now... it’s likely the epic level standard version without a doubt.
Ti, only three seconds!
Must think of a solution!
The crisis is approaching, Herbert’s mind accelerated frantically, he felt the flow around him slow down, and thoughts surged in his mind.
In the face of sudden crisis, Herbert’s rationality forcibly turned cold again.
Don’t rush, think carefully.
What to do?
Die here?
No, I refuse such a foolish death.
My fate won’t end so trivially!
There must be a way to escape.
But, only three seconds...
Is three seconds enough to escape?
Even if I run, can I escape the aim?
If I can’t escape being targeted, can they escape?
If I won’t die here, what about Valentina and the others?
!!!
If the danger only involved himself, Herbert wouldn’t lose composure.
But as it involved others, his thoughts beca especially erratic, originally calm thoughts started turning agitated.
Can’t rush!
But, what about them, what about them?
Will their fate end here?
Die because of my carelessness?
I...
If...
["Calm down, my love."]
A calm voice shattered all distracting thoughts, making Herbert suddenly calm down.
!!!
["You’re too panicked."]
The divine did not mock the mortal’s agitation but gently whispered in his ear: ["Don’t rush, think slowly."]
All the negative emotions in Herbert’s mind instantly vanished, leaving only the usual calmness.
Can’t rush.
No ti to thank Nenasha, Herbert put all his energy into breaking out of this predicant.
"..."
He took in the scene completely, and rapidly thought in his heart.
For individual beings, this space is not small, the large field allows for free movent.
But for a deadly weapon that considers the divine as a hypothetical enemy, here... it’s still too small.
No way to dodge at all!
And even if you can dodge, before the magic energy cannon, these relic ruins are no stronger than paper.
Finding cover is useless.
Only run.
Escape from here, should be enough to shake off the crisis...
Three seconds, very extre, but should still gamble for it.
Just that the others’ positions are too scattered, no way to take them away at the sa ti.
How to make them run out at the sa ti?
[Launch countdown... three seconds.]
By his ear, the countdown stimulated Herbert, making him feel ntally tense.
But, as Herbert was still thinking about how to save everyone, a scarlet silhouette with flying red hair moved.
Whoosh——
Before Herbert could speak, Valentina had instinctively moved.
But she didn’t flee outward...
Instead, she charged directly toward Herbert.
Danger!
Danger!!
Danger!!!
Just now, Valentina’s intuition sensed intense danger faster than Herbert did.
Then, she moved.
No consulting with the sage on what to do, no proactive thinking, she moved almost in a reflexive manner, acting on instinct.
She didn’t know where the crisis was coming from or who the enemy was, but she knew what she had to do.
Herbert!
Protect Herbert!!!
Valentina didn’t want to see Herbert "die" in front of her again.
Back in the Holy City of Radiance, she didn’t sense the God of Assassination approaching, and watched helplessly as Herbert was stabbed in the back and his heart was taken out.
At that mont, it felt like her own heart was being taken out.
And now... there’s still ti!
Very close!
She can save him!!!
And at the instant Valentina recklessly charged toward Herbert, Flora, who was originally pursuing Kreti, also changed direction.
She too charged toward Herbert.
The divine oath alerted her—Herbert was about to suffer a fatal injury!
Protect.
The Master needs to be protected!
Even if sacrificing herself, she must save the Master.
Thus, the Enchanting Demon, like the Giant Dragon, ignored her own crisis and rushed toward the person she loved.
And at that mont, the ti until the magic energy cannon fires...
[Launch countdown... two seconds.]
No!
Don’t co here!
Run yourself!!!
Herbert imdiately understood what the two of them wanted to do, felt touched in his heart, but also powerless.
