Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Since the death of the brave man and the saint, she has become the most powerful human being - she has always been the one to protect others, stand in front of others, and give others a sense of security.

To people, she is omnipotent.

No one ever stood before her to bear anything for her, or said to her, "Please don't force yourself."

It's been a long time since I felt this way.

Elsa's nose twitched slightly, making Tricia feel that Elsa was a little cute, but she knew that Elsa had discovered something.

"—Are you hurt?"

"I can't hide it from you..."

"I have a keen sense of smell. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing," Tricia smiled nonchalantly, raising her hand and shaking it. There was a thin cut on the palm of her hand, but for Tricia, who had experienced the Demon King War, this minor injury was nothing. "Anyway, I don't feel any pain, and I've already applied the slow healing spell."

"Just because you can't feel it, you don't care? Take yourself seriously for a moment."

"I am okay……"

"show me."

Aisha lifted Tricia's hand without saying anything.

Sure enough, there was a blood mark on the palm of Tricia's hand. It looked like a cut, and the wound had shown signs of healing. Elsa confirmed the wound on the palm of Tricia's hand. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but it did not mean that it was not dangerous.

For a mage, there is only a difference between being injured and not being injured - when the magic shield is broken, injury and death are just the difference between the two sides of the bridge. If there is no backup means, a poorly handled one will be the worst result.

As Elsa's warmth came from her palm, Tricia's eyes regained some luster, but pain also came with it.

"Does it hurt?"

"A bit..."

It didn't hurt originally, but now this feeling isn't bad. Even if it hurts, it's a feeling I haven't felt in a long time.

"Elsa...your eyesight is too good."

Tricia gave a bitter smile that was difficult to explain, mixed with a hint of pain and an indescribable meaning.

"It's just beyond the level of ordinary people," Elsa gently held Tricia's hand and silently recited a small healing spell. Although the effect of this spell itself was very weak, it would be different if it was repeated thirty or forty times in one second. The wound on Tricia's palm gradually recovered.

Maybe it was the itchiness from the healing wound or something else, but Tricia kept biting her lips and staring at Aisha without saying a word.

That's great, that girl named Charlie.

Having someone like Aisha to take care of and love.

The scene of Elsa and Charlie kissing flashed before Tricia's eyes unconsciously. Even at that moment, Tricia inexplicably felt a little envious of Charlie. Such thoughts made Tricia feel stunned and lost.

"Okay." Elsa gently released Tricia's hand, just holding it. She looked deeply at Tricia, who seemed to have just come to her senses, and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Hmm..." Tricia subconsciously looked away. "The wound doesn't hurt anymore. Your healing technique is very effective. But, maybe it's because I haven't fought like this in a long time. I feel a little... tired."

"Of course," Elsa let go of Tricia's hand. Tricia's five senses were lost again. Elsa said in a slightly blaming tone, "To fight against magic that can support an entire fortress with one person's strength is a bit too reckless, even for you."

Tricia really wanted to say that she didn't want to hear such condemnation from Elsa, but when the words came to her lips, they just turned into a helpless smile.

How can she compare with Elsa?

170. Magical Usurpation

"So, what should we do next?"

Elsa asked, her eyes finally beginning to take in the flying city before her.

Unlike the magical scenery imagined in the novels, picture books, and animations of her previous life, this huge floating city is not similar to any architectural style Elsa knows, nor is it full of the kind of romantic prosperity or magnificence. It is only stained by the lake water under its feet, covered by black blood, and swallowed by the sticky evil smell. There is no human figure, but a desolate city-state filled with the screams of black monsters.

It is obvious that this city was once inhabited by some kind of intelligent creatures, but now there is no trace of that time, only the endless smell of blood spreading.

The crows were still fighting, and the surging magical fluctuations came from afar.

After drinking several bottles of magic potions, Tricia also re-examined everything here.

"The city is trying to leave the forest and head south. Although it won't pass through Weilin Town and Dammas Fortress, it's heading towards the southern port city of Klindkren. We can't let it spread those black monsters and filth to such a densely populated area."

Elsa looked into the distance. Indeed, at the end of the southern forest, a port city that was still prosperous even at this late hour appeared in Elsa's sight.

"If we don't stop it... at the speed this sky island is traveling, it'll only take an hour for it to reach the skies above Klindkren. Of course, if it heads into the open sea, that's fine, but if it doesn't aim for the sea, we must be wary of the possibility it could pose a threat to the city."

I have to say that the speed at which this sky island is advancing is truly astonishing.

"Do you need me to knock it down?"

Elsa asked, her fists already itching to fight - apart from this planet, Elsa had never beaten anything so huge.

Seeing that Aisha seemed to really be planning this, Tricia quickly stopped her.

"Calm down, Aisha... At least we don't have to do this until it leaves the forest. However, if we still can't find another way to stop it safely before it leaves the forest, please, Aisha, let it 'fall'."

Tricia naturally had no doubt that Elsa could do it. For example, just like Elsa opened another crater in the central lake, if she kicked it, the sky island would surely be shattered immediately, right?

Of course, that was the last resort. Even if it was allowed to fall, there was no guarantee that it would not cause other accidents. Moreover, this was the first floating island discovered and the only example that confirmed the legend of the floating island in the ruins of the Age of Gods. Tricia knew better than anyone the research value that this floating island might hold.

If humans had controlled such an island as a means of warfare during the Demon King War, it would undoubtedly have rewritten the tense war situation at that time.

So if it weren't for the last resort, Tricia would prefer to keep the island.

"I understand."

Elsa understood Tricia's unspoken thoughts and just smiled. "If that's the case, leave it to me. You can rely on me - but how can we stop it now?"

"I've roughly observed the composition of the magic circle here," Tricia said seriously, her chin resting on her hand as she thought. "The magic circle here is too ancient and different from the magic system I know. It seems to be a branch of magic from the Age of Gods, not the most common type. So if you want to directly usurp the magic circle's instructions, it will take some time to decipher them. I plan to leave it to Ryan and the others."

Although Tricia could analyze magic herself, she had other things to do.

"Also, to be on the safe side, I also plan to directly occupy and seize its control center. If successful, this is the simplest and quickest method."

Tricia said, raising her hand and pointing to the tall tower in the center of the sky island.

"I think the control center should be in there. I can 'see' the boiling magical aura—but considering the characteristics of Age of Gods magic, I'm not sure if this operation will succeed. If not, we can only control this place through magical usurpation."

"Advance and retreat—it seems you've already planned it."

"Planning is what magicians do most often."

Tricia smiled.

"But before we act, I have to bring Inksha and the others up here. I need Ryan and the others to analyze the magic. Also, if we're not there, Inksha and the others might get into trouble. I have to prevent that from happening."

It’s not that Tricia doesn’t trust the strength of the Paladins. Even if they face the Demon General directly, the Paladins can unite to temporarily protect the Saint.

But for Tricia, she had experienced too many similar scenes in the Demon King War. Many times, just because of a little negligence, a little self-evident imagination, a little luck and escape, it would lead to irreversible consequences.

Tricia's caution is instinctive.

……

There is a magical connection between Tricia and the crows. She can confirm the approximate direction of the sky island through the crows. After Elsa breaks the light refraction magic of the sky island, the existence of the sky island can also be seen visually on the ground, which will provide Tricia with the most accurate teleportation coordinate positioning.

So Tricia used teleportation magic to return to the central lake, and after taking everyone with her, she went straight back to the sky island, which only took a few minutes.

"Wow...it's so high..."

Inksa's face turned pale due to her fear of heights, while the others were a little better, but they still looked a little nervous.

The more they understood their current location, the more they marveled at Elsa's strength - how could Elsa jump directly from such a high place?

"It's incredible... It turns out the legend of the 'floating city' is true..."

As soon as Ryan stepped onto the sky island, he exclaimed in admiration, completely ignoring the lake water stained with black blood. He stood in the middle of the square, squatted down, and stroked the ground stained with blood.

He looked obsessed and fascinated. It was obvious that the value of this sky island was enormous for a scholar like him. The entire sky island could be said to be a treasure trove of wealth.

The other magicians were almost the same, and the paladins were also amazed at the sight. Inksha looked around curiously and exclaimed in amazement.

But there was no more time left for them, and Tricia assigned them tasks - Ryan and the magicians were engaged in analyzing the interception and usurpation of the floating city's suspension and movement magic, while the paladins were responsible for protecting Inksa and the magicians.

Inksa was the only one with nothing to do.

But for her as a saint, she has actually embarked on the road of "experience" and has walked a distance to immortality - among all the saints in history, no one has had the experience of climbing the floating city like her, and there is no powerful saint nun like Elsa to escort her. She has embarked on a first step that is completely different from that of all the saints in history.

As for Tricia and Aisha, they went directly to the central area and seized the control center of the magic circle.

……

171. Double the Quantity of Magic

In the middle of the sky island is a towering building that rises from the ground. Like other buildings, it is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. At first glance, it looks like an inverted white lighthouse, except that its lines are so graceful, like pouring milk.

In Tricia's magical vision, this tall tower should be the control center of the entire Sky Island.

Wide roads lead to the central tower, which is now completely occupied by black monsters. However, they are unable to advance an inch - powerful magic explosions echo in the night sky, and the crow turns into lightning and quickly shuttles between the black monsters that are as turbulent as the tide. It has been fighting here, blocking the invasion of the black monsters alone.

The crow's body was wrapped in purple-black arcs of electricity. The light of the arcs had become dim, but its beautiful black feathers were still sharp, and its screams were still loud. It harvested large groups of black monsters and shuttled through the blood mist. No black monster could stop its claws. Only the Filthy Ones, who were known for their vitality, could barely stop its attack.

It was a huge Filth One, at least three or four men tall, covered in pitch-black whiskers and muscular muscles. It looked like a giant ape, but had three pairs of limbs covered with hard shells growing from its back like spiders, with deep claw marks on its cheeks. It roared and collided head-on with the Crow surrounded by lightning. However, even though it had a total of eight hands, it still couldn't keep up with the agile Crow. The Crow nimbly avoided the Filth One's black hands, and its knife-like claws deeply penetrated into the Filth One's shoulder. With a dull crisp sound, the Crow's claws had already twisted the Filth One's shoulder to pieces, and black blood spurted out from the wound. The Crow screamed, spread its wings, and instantly crushed the Filth One's muscles, tearing the Filth One's entire shoulder to pieces.

The limb on one side of the Filth One's body lost its strength and drooped down as its dark muscles were torn apart, while its other hand punched the Crow's wing firmly.

A surge of lightning erupted between them, the Crow flapped its wings and rose into the air, while the Filthy One was blown several meters away.

The crow did not fight with it, but turned around to chase other black monsters. The Filth One that was knocked away took this opportunity to grab a black monster nearby and started to bite it. Its secondary limbs clamped the black monster like a spider hunting, tearing it into pieces and eating it easily.

It quickly recovered its body with the injection of energy. The flesh whiskers squirmed and drilled out from its almost broken shoulder, slowly repairing its flesh. Its shoulder became stronger and stronger than before. After the wound healed, a thick and solid layer of keratin even formed on the surface of the skin.

It roared in the direction of the crow and was about to move forward to continue the unfinished battle.

As soon as it took a step forward, it saw Elsa's figure appear in front of it.

"As Tricia said, the black monsters and the foul ones have indeed evolved... Did they incorporate the characteristics of other monsters? Or did this change happen after arriving on Sky Island?"

Elsa looked at the Filth One in front of her. At first glance, it was similar to the Filth One in the spider cave that Elsa had killed before. They were both of a particularly powerful type, but it was obvious that this one was stronger and more dangerous than the previous one. Its wounds would produce new mutations, and the injured part would form a strong skin stratum corneum and strengthen that part. It seemed that the Filth One was consciously strengthening its weaker parts.

Obviously, if it is not killed in one go, it will only become stronger as it fights more and more times.

So Elsa would never let such a dangerous and filthy person leave here alive.

At this time, Elsa's magic value has reached 42 points.

There were a total of 14 free points gained from the previous battle, which shows how dense the Contaminated Ones are here. Elsa put all these points into her magic value, so her magic value increased from 28 to 42, which is a considerable improvement compared to before.

Perhaps, 42 magic points is not too much, but the accumulation of quantitative changes to a certain extent can produce multiplication - for example, Elsa's magic value recovery speed is more than 40 rounds per second, so before this, Elsa can release more than 40 "shocks" of 21 magic points per second. However, when Elsa's magic value changes from 28 to 42, all this has changed dramatically.

Because the number of "shocks" Elsa can release per second has doubled, from more than forty times per second to eighty or ninety times - about five thousand times per minute.

This also relies on Elsa's unique way of releasing magic - she does not need to chant and guide like ordinary magicians, she can release magic easily, just a thought and the magic will take shape.

The Filth One screamed shrilly at Elsa, and it saw Elsa raise her hand.

The next moment, "shock" erupted at a frequency of more than eighty times per second. Elsa controlled the speed of her palm to chase the shock wave, allowing each shock wave to be accurately superimposed just right - in just a moment, the Filth One and the black monsters and the Filth Ones behind it all stopped howling at the same time. The sounds of those running, fighting, and devouring corpses were all drowned out by the loud noise of "shock". The vast shock wave was continuously superimposed by Elsa and turned into a huge wave like a substance, sweeping through the tide of black monsters at the speed of sound.

The shock wave of more than eighty shock waves turned into a huge wave that crushed and shattered the black monster's body. And this shock wave was not just one wave, but wave after wave.

The first to be hit was immediately overturned and almost blown away, but Elsa took the opportunity to grab the sturdy shell that it was proud of.

Bang, bang, bang——

The Filthy One let out strange cries, its entire body twitching. Beneath its sturdy shell was a pool of flesh and black paste. The violent shock and pressure shattered its flesh and bones, squeezing its brains out of its eye sockets and nasal cavity. Blood gushed out of its body, far exceeding its load. Puff—a cloud of blood mist exploded from its chest, blooming like fireworks, and from behind it, the blood mist had already merged into a piece.

The shock wave was dyed black, and in just a moment, the black monster was completely disintegrated. The black blood rushed through the blood vessels under the irresistible pressure, and the hard shell and muscles were ravaged and shattered by the shock wave. The blood dyed the night sky black, and it was submerged by the huge number of black monsters. However, the next wave arrived immediately, and the deafening explosion spread as the shock wave went away. For a moment, a large number of corpses were thrown into the air and fell down as if they were lifted up by the waves. In the blink of an eye, only broken limbs were left.

The shock wave was well controlled by Aisha. She only aimed at the group of black monsters, and the surrounding buildings were only slightly affected.

This is the advantage of magic. Although it is currently much less efficient than Elsa's own fists, it is more controllable and can minimize accidental injuries and contagion.

172. She is just a shadow (3K)

With Aisha leading the way, everyone arrived safely at the location Tricia mentioned and started their respective work.

They were either busy analyzing the usurpation control array, or busy observing and collecting intelligence, recording information, or taking on the duties of vigilance and protection - everyone was assigned an appropriate task, except Inksa.
