When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1243 - 527: Time, Please Stop

After defeating the Glutton Demon, morale surged—

During the recent battle, the soldiers’ consciousness was manipulated and extracted by the Glutton Demon, and they were unaware of how perilous it had just been; they did not even recognize the Glutton Demon.

They only knew that such a powerful Great Demon was slain within a minute by their lords—originally, they might have felt fear and hesitation. Because they also didn’t know if mortals could actually slay gods...

But now, this grand victory undoubtedly gave them reassurance.

—We can win! We can really win!

"We need to head out to meet the enemy, teleport directly over there and fight them!"

Ligeia said without hesitation, "These kids can’t resist the Fly Demon’s plague—we brought priests, but they don’t have enough mana to dispel the disease."

"Judging by the Glutton Demon’s situation, if we can defeat the Fly Demon soon, then perhaps the plague could be lifted..."

Siegfried analyzed seriously, but upon seeing Ligeia’s frowning face, he quickly added, "But just in case. We can’t gamble—and the Fly Demon’s derivatives are increasing, perhaps the sooner we fight, the better."

"...Speaking of which, where is Little Aiwass?"

Ligeia furrowed her brows, "I remember he can summon a Phantom Demon that can manipulate fire, capable of releasing a lot of Purification Fire. If that guy is present, then the toxic spores scattered by the Fly Demon can be incinerated from a distance, and our battle will be much safer."

"His Holiness the Pope should still be resting."

Galatea spoke emotionlessly, whispering softly, "After all, he created such a miracle last night."

"...Catching a meteorite? That undoubtedly was a miracle..."

Ligeia evidently guessed what Galatea was referring to. freēwēbnovel.com

She just couldn’t understand why the Fallen Celestial Marshal inexplicably tossed a meteorite to that location?

"I hope he can adjust quickly."

The Great Guardian shook his head slightly, somewhat uneasy, "The Fallen Celestial Marshal dispatched such powerful demons... I think he might be about to act."

"Do you mean," Siegfried looked at the Great Guardian, "that the plan needs adjustments?"

"At the very least, we should keep a backup plan."

Cardinal Galatea interjected, "If the Fallen Celestial Marshal attacks or we have to enter combat, while His Holiness is not yet here, what then?"

"As long as the Mage Tower is not incapacitated, they can teleport Little Aiwass over."

Ligeia said solemnly, "If that day truly comes, we would need to have Saint John forcibly awaken Little Aiwass..."

"Leave it to me."

Saint John nodded seriously.

"However, before that," Siegfried spoke, "we need to confirm first—should we bring over His Holiness’s substitute? Or let them stay securely in the rear?"

Substitute...

The faces of both the Great Guardian and Ligeia suddenly changed.

Those who could replace Aiwass in battle... were only Lily and Yulia.

Until just now, everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning these two. Because they were brought here at Aiwass’s insistence, and he is not present now... If these two encounter danger at this time, they will not be able to explain to Aiwass!

For a moment,

No one dared, or was willing to raise a statement that might offend Aiwass at this time.

Ligeia gritted her teeth, "I’ll handle it—the Mage Tower, teleport Yulia over."

"...You?!"

The Great Guardian was immediately shocked.

His expression became extremely serious, "You should know... how Lord Aiwass treasures his sister, right?"

"Yes," Ligeia nodded candidly, her voice growing louder and clearer, "but I also understand Yulia—that child has lived with me for quite some time!

"She would absolutely not be willing to remain in the safe rear when she has the power to change the tide of battle! Follow orders, Mage! Teleport that girl over!"

It seemed that Ligeia’s words were finally confirmed, and a roaring azure storm whipped up on the ground.

A vague white figure condensed within it, then quickly dissipated. Yulia stumbled forward a step, emerging from within.

—Teleportation takes time, and she had already heard them.

"Rest assured, I can protect myself."

This little girl, looking no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, stated this as her first words upon appearing.

She gently placed her small right hand over her heart, speaking in a tender yet firm voice akin to a vow, "I am also a warrior! I will not let everyone down, nor will I let my brother worry."

That voice made Siegfried and Mu show a hint of compassion on their faces.

Saint John even crouched down and embraced her.

Her face looked not much older than Yulia’s, but she was significantly taller.

"Don’t be afraid."

Saint John whispered, "Sister will protect you well."

"—What are we waiting for!"

Ligeia shouted sternly, "Teleport us over!"

In the next moment, the azure storm rolled up again.

Everyone was engulfed in the increasingly violent storm, shaking and swaying as if they were on a wooden plank, violently jolted on a stormy sea!

The intense feeling of dizziness accompanied by increasingly severe tremors—they felt as if they were standing on the verge of collapse, paralysis and itching spreading through their bodies along their skeletons.

Like when you occasionally jolt awake from a nap, they all instinctively twitched their bodies once.

When the storm subsided, they found themselves under a darkened sky.

They were right in an empty ruin, before the Great Tree born just last night!

A short distance ahead, the sky had turned dark, while behind them was blue sky and white cloud. One could even see the far-off sky devoured by that "Dark Cloud," transformed into a clearer than blue, transparent color.

The intense smell of decay accompanied by stench made them immediately dizzy and even want to vomit!

Holding Yulia in her arms, Saint John’s expression changed, instant Divine Art was immediately cast—

The Candle Celestial Marshal’s [Purifying Fire] domain unfolded, a white fire ring almost thirty meters in radius, suspended in the air, instantly sweeping away and burning all filth!

"Yulia, get ready!"

Ligeia shouted.

Unlike the previous situation—facing the Fly Demon, many amongst them became powerless.

For example, Mu and Siegfried, who excelled at hand-to-hand combat, were simply unable to reach the magic fly swarm that hovered at cloud height!

Not even close enough!

And the Great Guardian as well... while he could fly up, facing the Sixth Power Level Fly Demon alone was no different from delivering food. If he glided over there, those magic flies could chew his bones clean... not to mention, leaving the range of Purifying Fire meant he might not withstand the spores to reach the horizon.

This was priority at the Sixth Power Level!

Their greatest issue now was "how to contact these magic flies" and draw them down!

At this moment, those spellcasters who seemed powerless against the Glutton Demon finally had a chance to shine—

The Amber Master was finally able to react and use his Preservation Arts.

"Prepare to attack them..."

The Amber Master murmured.

His pupils turned a dim yellow, quietly gazing at the sky.

He raised his hand, as if trying to grasp the sky. Dim yellow flames infinitely activated, overflowing from his pupils and flowing through his fingers.

"Time..."

The Amber Master whispered softly, "Please pause here, wait for me..."

In an instant.

A towering dim yellow light pillar surged upward!

The slender light pillar shot into the sky, then rapidly spread in all directions!

As if the heavens and earth were solidified within a gigantic amber.

The azure sky suddenly solidified, transforming into dim yellow.

The clouds ceased to flow, and even those magic flies were completely frozen by him.
