Chapter 176: Field Magic
Jenny took Sophia and jumped down, instantly disappearing as if she vanished into thin air.
"Huh?" Teresa clearly noticed this and said, "Is this… a teleportation portal?"
"Good thing I left a mark on them," Karoso took out a bronze device resembling a compass. "Let’s go after them. Sophia is too important to fall into enemy hands."
"Okay!"
Teresa had just landed, when she suddenly noticed the ground start to shake.
"Everyone, hold your position, grab onto nearby cover, protect the buildings!" shouted Karoso loudly.
Crackling… Pssst!
Suddenly, the ground began to crack open, revealing a layer of oil-like substance underneath the surface.
The black liquid emitted hot steam, white mist spiraling into the air, blending with the fog enveloping the City of Freedom.
Crackling…
Not only the ground, cracks even appeared on the walls of the buildings, reaching some bronze gears outside the walls as well.
After cracking open, they revealed the black liquid inside, then emitted white mist through the cracks.
"This is Field Magic!" Teresa’s eyes widened in surprise.
Field Magic is no stranger to gamers playing cards online.
Just like how Murlocs and Nagas need water and fire elements for bonuses in lava, heroes need skyscrapers, and dragons need furniture stores.
Some cards can change the current environment, and once the card effect ends, the field will revert back to its original state.
"Have we been discovered?" Teresa asked with concern.
"What if the entire City of Freedom is covered by this Field Magic?" Karoso had foreseen this scenario.
Now, all ghouls, Poisoners, skeletons, and even those tentacle minions are enhanced, thanks to the Field Magic’s boost on those monsters!
As Sophia and Jenny escaped, the Field Magic automatically generated, temporarily nullifying the more terrifying spells.
Otherwise, things would get even scarier with Sophia present.
"That would require at least a ninth-tier Field Magic!" Teresa’s pupils dilated in shock.
"Don’t worry, the people from the church are here. My family should not ignore me. No matter how powerful they are, they are just a card in front of absolute strength," said Karoso firmly.
"Hmm."
……
Sophia and Jenny felt dizzy and found themselves in the middle of a street.
Clatter clatter clatter…
The sound of bullets rang in the ears of the two, bullets whizzing past them.
Jenny plunged a cross into the ground, throwing out two cards. Two golden translucent shields appeared on either side of them.
[Name: Holy Light Shield]
[Category: Magic]
[Star Level: 4]
[Rarity: Blue Rare]
[Job Restriction: Pastor]
[Description: Generates shields with holy light, can control them for attacks, deals light damage, very effective against demons and dark creatures.]
Ding ding ding…
Bullets hit the shield, making a tinkling sound, and the two finally understood their surroundings.
A tattered army was barely holding off ghouls and skeletons attacking from the street, with civilians behind them.
Clearly, this street was held by Frank’s rebel army, soldiers with consciences who defected voluntarily and did not join the monsters.
Seeing five ghouls charging towards them, Jenny quickly waved the cross in her hand.
Bang!
Two scary monsters were sent flying by the cross in her hand.
Seeing three more monsters charging towards her, she waved her hand and a Holy Light Shield moved forward, burning the monsters.
Boom!
The Holy Light Shield exploded, turning the three monsters into ashes.
Even though Jenny used to be timid around humans, she was brave when facing monsters.
Jenny, a fifth-tier guard, was experienced in dungeons and did not rely on looks but on skills.
Jenny, a commoner taught to serve the nobles since childhood, had a natural fear of people like Whyte.
Moreover, she always believed that humans were scarier than monsters…
Before, she couldn’t protect Sophia because the people were armed, and the bodyguards around her were not strong enough for her to use any skills.
Now, it seems like she is reliable, otherwise, she wouldn’t be respected by netizens.
"Miss, hide behind me," Jenny calmly observed the approaching ghouls and skeletons in the distance.
"Okay!"
Sophia was still confused and had no idea where she and Jenny ended up after jumping off the building.
"Who are you two? Why are you here?" a military officer shouted.
"We are here for a sightseeing trip in the City of Freedom!" Jenny held onto her Holy Light Shield behind her and tightly grasped a cross, keeping a close watch on the approaching ghouls and skeletons.
"After the incident here, we got separated from our group, and we were cornered by monsters near a blue portal before ending up here," Jenny explained further.
The officer and his companions discussed briefly before asking, "Are you a Pastor?"
"Fifth-tier Pastor!" Jenny said honestly, "My mistress is a second-tier Pastor."
"Join us on the battlefield and fight with us!" the officer shouted.
"Okay, don’t shoot," Jenny said as she slowly backed away with Sophia.
The ghouls saw the two trying to escape, and many of them charged towards them.
Bang, bang, bang…
The machine gun behind them started covering fire, and Jenny also acted quickly, throwing out another card.
[Name: Holy Light Ring]
[Type: Spell]
[Star Level: 5]
[Quality: Blue Rare]
[Job Requirement: Pastor]
[Introduction: Summons a holy aura, binds enemies within the aura, then shrinks the aura and pulls enemies towards the center. After a while, the aura explodes.]
Sizzle!
A few ghouls were trapped by a big golden halo.
Boom…
With a bang, those ghouls exploded in the air like fireworks.
At that moment, a rumbling sensation occurred.
Two people stumbled and accidentally entered the soldiers’ camp.
"Ah!"
The ground cracked open beneath the feet of a few soldiers, dropping them into the dark liquid below. They let out a scream and then disappeared, as if they had been swallowed up.
"What’s happening?"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless guns were pointed at Sophia and Jenny.
"It wasn’t them."
Just then, a lazy voice echoed from the building above.
"Who goes there?" The officer suddenly looked up.
There, a lady with white hair playing with a dagger appeared in the sky, sitting with her legs crossed.
"A passing thief," the young lady smiled slightly. "Have you seen a man named Karoso? He should be accompanied by an army."
