CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 70 TURTLE SHELL FORMATION

Everyone rushed to the vicinity of Ratlan Palace and saw that the Church Court had erected a force field wall, enveloping the entire palace within a semi-circular Force Field Shield.

Masses of strange monsters of an unknown kind were besieging the church’s stronghold in the sky. They tore at the Force Field Shield, emitting ear-piercing, indescribable cries.

Eleanor looked up at these monsters and saw that they had blurry bat wings, blurry claws, and blurry beaks... In reality, the shape and features of these monsters were all products of her imagination because she couldn’t see their forms clearly at all.

The only thing she could see clearly seemed to be that under the beaks of these creatures, there appeared to be three thick tentacles?

As this thought flashed through her mind, a sudden intense pain surged within her head. She clutched at it in agony, but a cold and clear will gushed into her mind like a spring, quickly dispelling her pain.

Is this what higher-dimensional beings are like? Quite terrifying... Eleanor thought apprehensively but then saw that the higher-dimensional monster she had been observing had already turned its icy, enigmatic gaze their way.

Not good, we’ve been spotted!

Instantly, the same thought flashed through the girls’ minds, and they saw the monsters dive down at them like lightning, letting out their ear-piercing, indescribable cries in midair.

These cries seemed to penetrate the heart and shatter the eardrums, almost shaking the girls’ spirits to the point where they couldn’t remain conscious. Fortunately, there were two girls with the Mind Sequence in the group. Nora and Medea simultaneously executed "Group Psychological Relief," stabilizing the tumultuous Mind Bodies of their nearby companions.

Thira was the first to act, serving as a large-area AOE turret. Her "Storm" and "Meteor" abilities were unleashed together, shrouding the area where the monsters were diving.

Chaotic Air Flow and twisted Gravity instantly disoriented many monsters, causing them to collide in the air and fall like rain.

More monsters forcibly passed through this chaotic defense line, using their momentum to dive down towards them. Everyone could even clearly see the outline of the monsters at the forefront, drawn with lines of unsettling Chaos, crudely as though scribbled by a child, yet possessing an extreme sense of threat and danger.

Eleanor charged forward again, and although she was not holding a Shield, a stream-like Will quickly surged from her right arm, transforming into a huge Shield.

The sides of the Shield continued to extend outward, quickly forming a hemispherical sphere, similar to the Force Field Shield that enveloped Ratlan Palace. It looked like a turtle shell, firmly protecting the girls within.

As the first monster was about to strike, the surface of the huge Will Shield suddenly lit up with a dazzling Radiance!

Under the augmentation of the Unyielding Holy Sword, the hardness of this Will Shield was instantly boosted to an indestructible state. Countless monsters either smashed into it, wounding their heads and bleeding, or were scalded by the burning Will, crying out in pain, some even catching fire.

After a few breaths, the monsters behind hastily brake, flapping their wings to hover in midair, looking at the glowing turtle shell and the severely injured companions rolling around on the ground with a mix of shock and fear.

"Let’s go, let’s go!" Aske waved his hand boldly.

The light on the surface of the Will Shield dimmed again, as Eleanor had already turned off the Holy Sword State, maintaining only the Shield of flowing Will. Under the guidance of the dispersing Will Fog, she covered everyone as they accurately moved towards the direction of Ratlan Palace.

The monsters hoarsely cried out, watching the giant "turtle" move on the ground. Some monsters tried to dive again to attack the shell but the moment they collided with the Will’s surface, Eleanor reactivated the Holy Sword State, igniting the attacker instantly.

Suffering a huge blow, the monster could only cry as it tore off its burning wings, then hugged its wounds and wailed.

None of the monsters dared to attempt probing attacks anymore and could only fly around the Will Shield in chaos, howling and exerting some kind of terrifying psychic intimidation.

Inside the Shield, Medea and Nora held hands with everyone, forming a strong psychic defense that screened out the bizarre sonic waves that could drive people insane.

Seeing the giant turtle about to crash head-on into Ratlan Palace, the priests behind the force field shield also lost their composure, waving their arms and shouting frantically at them,

"Don’t crash into us! Don’t! The energy generator will overload and melt!"

"Keep moving forward!" Aske said from inside the shield.

The girls didn’t hesitate and continued to steadily move forward, under the despairing gaze of the priests, crashing hard into the force field shield of Ratlan Palace.

"Mia, Shadow!" Aske suddenly ordered.

Mia had already rushed to the front of the turtle’s shell, pressing her hands downward. Her black shadow immediately slid out from the bottom of the will shield, then swiftly expanded and rose up, like the gaping maw of a shadow beast, biting down hard on the force field shield.

This section of the force field shield was abruptly teleported into the Shadow Realm, causing an instant gap to appear on the surface of the shield.

Under the action of the energy generator, more force field energy surged into the edges of the gap, trying to fill and repair it. All of it, however, was drawn into the mouth of the shadow beast, causing all the electric meters of the Church Court to go haywire, with the electricity consumption climbing rapidly.

However, this situation didn’t last long, because the "giant turtle," made of will, quickly snuggly fit itself into the gap.

Then Mia made a "pull out" gesture, and the shadow beast quickly retracted back under her feet, becoming an ordinary shadow again. The shield gap was filled in half a second, blocking the monsters that were trying to break through right behind them.

The monsters outside the shield screamed in vain, continuing to strike and tear at the force field walls. Eleanor had already ended the will armor, allowing everyone to emerge from the turtle shell.

The priests watched them, dumbfounded, and then the Pope’s Guard that had hurried over also took up a stance as if facing a formidable enemy, closely surrounding these people.

Soon, the Valian Bishop, having received the news, came over and dispersed the surrounding Pope’s Guard.

"How did you all get here?" the Valian Bishop exclaimed, "Nora, didn’t you evacuate ahead with your parents?"

"I did evacuate. But what are you going to do, brother?" Nora said, breathlessly.

"I?" Valian was somewhat amused and touched, "I’m a Cardinal of the Church Court. What could happen to me? Do you think the Church Court will perish in this mutant incident?"

Nora: ...

So the Church Court had already prepared to evacuate? Did we come here for nothing this time?

"Let’s go, we still have a place for you to stay," the Valian Bishop said, leading the Azure Longsword group to a quiet chapel nearby, "Although there are no beds, we can provide spare sleeping bags. You can stay here for the night."

"That’s okay, brother," Nora said, shaking her head. Lodging conditions and such are no issue for us Mercenary Group members, right? You first tell me what the Church Court’s evacuation plan is.

After hearing his sister’s question, the Valian Bishop once again made sure there was no one around, then whispered,

"There’s a secret tunnel underneath the Ratlan Palace, leading to the military airport at Holy Angel Castle."

Oh! Aske also recalled. Initially, he had taken this underground express, secretly transferred to Holy Angel Castle airport, and then took a helicopter to meet with the Pope.
