Hogwarts Summoning Guide

This strike truly startled Bai Lin. He genuinely hadn't expected the Demon Blade Princess's sword form to possess such power. Although she had lost two kagune, the remaining two had unfurled into wings like bat wings, allowing Fujiwara Ichiura to move freely through the air.

Bai Lin flipped over, nearly falling off the fire crossbow bolt, barely dodging the demonic blade's aura. Bai Lin inwardly cried out in relief; if he had been caught off guard, it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

Bai Lin, riding his fire crossbow, kept dodging, trying to avoid the opponent's sharp edge first. After all, the Japanese swordsmanship emphasizes the three-hit combo approach. Whether it's the sword-drawing technique, the iaido slash, or various other flashes like the Flying Dragon Flash, Dragon Nest Flash, and Nine-Headed Dragon Flash, the first few moves are the strongest, designed to catch the opponent off guard and unleash a powerful burst of energy. However, there is an inevitable disadvantage of starting strong, then weakening, and finally exhausting. Bai Lin planned to counterattack when Fujiwara Ichiura was exhausted.

"This person is in a dangerous state!" Suddenly, Catherine's voice rang in Bai Lin's ears, but she suddenly started speaking Chinese, which surprised Bai Lin.

Catherine continued, "He must have forcibly fused the power of the demon into himself, and he's still adapting to this power. If he can wield it freely, he might have a lot of room for improvement!"

Catherine had already sensed Bai Lin's condition in the alternate dimension and guessed his intentions, which is why she spoke up to warn him.

Bai Lin heard this, but for the moment he couldn't change the situation. Fujiwara Ichiura's sword energy was extremely fierce. If he used the Jade-Handled Dragon to block it, he would probably be in grave danger. Switching from defense to offense was not something he could do at will.

Just as Bai Lin was being forced to retreat in the air, a golden light suddenly appeared not far behind Fujiwara Ichiura. A huge demon-slaying light sword descended from the sky and slashed at Fujiwara Ichiura's outstretched kagune wings. It was Yan Nishuang who came to help.

Fujiwara Ichiura didn't turn his head. His kagune wings suddenly spun around, wrapping his body like the leaves of a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling). The Demon Slayer Sword, powerful enough to cut through gold and jade, struck it, but was actually deflected. As he turned around and opened his wings again, an extremely sharp blade of light slashed towards Yan Nishuang, who was momentarily stunned by the recoil from the Demon Slayer Sword.

"Watch out!" Bai Lin exclaimed in alarm. He had not tested the strength of Yan Nishuang's protective spell, but he knew very well that Fujiwara Ichiura's current attack power was far beyond what ordinary spell shields could withstand.

Speaking of this, we should mention the basic principle of magical shields. For example, armor protection was invented in ancient times to resist attacks such as swords and arrows, so that wizards would not be harmed on the battlefield with ordinary people. In fact, it uses magic to compress and condense the air around the body, making it as hard as armor. After being attacked, the damaged area can be quickly filled with magic to achieve a continuous protection effect.

Zhuobi's spatial barrier creates a spatial rift in the area covered by magic. The effect of the spatial rift is very unstable. Sometimes it transfers the force or energy of the attack to another dimension or to other places in the surrounding area. Sometimes it just blocks the energy transfer between the two sides of the barrier, thus resisting some attack magic. Some spatial magic masters can even make a magic reflection shield to reflect the attack magic back. Of course, that requires very strong micro-control ability.

Bai Lin's Water Shield is similar to armor made of water elements, but with significantly increased strength and additional functions such as underwater breathing, basic healing, and fire resistance. It is a high-level elemental shield.

Finally, there's Catherine's signature move, "Heavenly Protection." This golden shield is incredibly powerful; it's a purely idealistic force field shield, a blessing from God. All harmful magic or substances around the shield will be affected by the powerful light field. Theoretically, as long as the caster's will is strong enough, they can block all damage, making them virtually invincible.

However, the drawbacks of Heaven's Protection are also obvious. Even for a Star Angel like Catherine, willpower is not something that can be summoned at will or used as many times as one pleases. If it is wasted, the next time one wants to release it, one may enter a disadvantageous state of insufficient willpower. Therefore, Bai Lin has always regarded this move as a life-saving ultimate move and dares not use it lightly.

"Shadow Chains!" Bai Lin turned his broom and charged towards Fujiwara Ichiura, trying to use Shadow Chains to delay Fujiwara Ichiura's attack.

However, when the large net composed of dozens of shadows blocked Fujiwara Ichiura's way, it was instantly shattered by his sword energy, as if it were made of paper. Of course, this was not Bai Lin's fault. The shadow chains usually take about a second to form, solidify, and reach their maximum strength. Fujiwara Ichiura's sword energy came too fast, and the black net could not provide any effective resistance.

Yan Nishuang held her small lightsaber horizontally in front of her and also activated her strongest defensive talisman. A scroll painting full of flowers and birds unfolded in front of her, looking exquisite.

If Yan Nishuang's talisman teacher, Daoist Shoucheng, saw this scene, he would definitely be astonished, because this advanced talisman technique, "Flower and Bird Scroll," had been lost for hundreds of years, leaving only fragments in ancient texts. Unexpectedly, Yan Nishuang managed to deduce the method of casting the spell based on the limited records, bringing it back to life in the world.

As it turned out, this move was indeed powerful. Fujiwara Ichiura's invincible sword energy struck the flower and bird scroll in the blink of an eye, but it was completely absorbed into the scroll as if it were a mud ox sinking into the sea, without causing any harm to Yan Nishuang behind the scroll.

However, Yan Nishuang knew that the Flower and Bird Scroll was not yet perfect. At this moment, the flowers and plants in the scroll had been cut into pieces by the sword energy. The scroll had reached its limit and could only be repeated once. She could only retreat while putting away the scroll, preparing to fight back and attack against attack. Even if she died or was injured, she had to suppress Fujiwara Ichiura by one or two moves to create an opportunity for Bai Lin to attack.

Fujiwara Ichiura's first strike failed to achieve its intended effect, yet it had no impact whatsoever. With a strange cry, he unleashed another strike, this time with even greater force than before. His figure seemed to merge with the blade's energy, achieving a state akin to the legendary highest level of martial arts – the unity of man and sword.

Instead of retreating, Yan Nishuang advanced, merging her two demon-slaying swords into one in mid-air. Her figure seemed to transform into a beam of light, merging with the light sword, as she fearlessly charged towards Fujiwara Ichiura.

Bai Lin was both shocked and anxious. He roared and gathered a large amount of death energy in his hands, launching a death entanglement at Fujiwara Ichiura's back. However, no matter how fast he was, he could not arrive before Fujiwara Ichiura's blade.

As the blade's edge and the Demon-Slaying Sword were about to collide, Bai Lin's heart was in his throat. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Yan Nishuang, but rather that he simply couldn't accept the consequences of failure.

Like a thunderclap at sea, the explosion of two energies illuminated the sky for tens of kilometers in radius, demonstrating its astonishing power.

The shockwave made the flying broom shake violently, and the blinding light almost blinded Bai Lin, but he still rushed over without hesitation, constantly calling out in his heart: Please be alright!

After the light faded, Bai Lin finally saw the situation on the battlefield. Fujiwara Ichiura, holding a long sword, had retreated more than a hundred meters away, while Yan Nishuang, with all her limbs intact, had also retreated dozens of meters away, though her face was slightly pale, making her appear even more delicate and charming.

Beside Yan Nishuang, Catherine, clad in golden armor, held a light shield, protecting Yan Nishuang behind it.

"You're Kerry's fiancée, I can't let anything happen to you," Catherine said with a smile.
