Chapter 384: Sneak Attack!
"What are these people doing?"
Will and Druddigon hid in the tunnel, sticking half a head out to peek quietly.
Because this huge space was quite dim.
And the eyes of the Blessed Isles army were all focused on Victini.
So Will wasn't afraid of being discovered.
Even if discovered.
It would be these people being finished off by the two of them.
Not taking action immediately was just to see the purpose of these people, maybe could get some valuable intelligence.
From the current perspective.
These people don't seem to know how to get Victini out.
Those Pokémon are trying to attack and destroy the barrier stone tablets.
Humans are looking around to see if there are any mechanism buttons.
But Will can basically be sure these methods are useless.
First.
The barrier stone tablets (Pillars of Protection) cannot be destroyed; this has been reflected in the movie.
The power of Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini, two gods and one myth, added together, couldn't destroy these stone tablets.
Unless the three dragons combine into one, becoming the Original Dragon, plus Victini's amplification power, then it might be possible to destroy these stone tablets.
After all, according to historical records.
It was the power of the Original Dragon plus Victini that created these stone tablets back then.
Second.
The mechanism button controlling the barrier has no clear indication in the original work; maybe there isn't such a thing at all.
But these stone tablets can indeed be controlled.
Just don't know whether it is controlled by the Sword of the Vale, or only by the bloodline of the royal family of the Vale.
"Seems the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles knows some inside information."
Will couldn't help murmuring watching this scene.
Regarding this barrier, there is another key piece of intelligence, that is—it is only effective for Victini and the Sword of the Vale.
Not used to protect them.
But used to seal them.
Reason unknown; maybe some step went wrong during the manufacturing process.
Originally created to protect the Sword of the Vale and Victini, the stone tablets have now become a seal on them.
As long as surrounded by stone tablets.
Victini and the Sword of the Vale can never come out of this range.
But other people and things are not affected.
But even if the Blessed Isles army can enter and exit the barrier at will, it's useless.
Without destroying the barrier.
They cannot take Victini away.
These people of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles obviously know this point, so they constantly enter and exit the barrier, trying to find a way to open the barrier in every corner.
In the mid-air of the barrier.
"Tini tini~"
Victini hasn't seen people for a long time.
Suddenly seeing so many people and Pokémon, spun around happily in the barrier, clapping hands in mid-air, cheering for the people of the Blessed Isles army.
However.
He is invisible.
This is also one of Victini's abilities, invisibility.
Will could "see" because he sensed his Aura.
As for those three psychics, presumably they were using Telekinesis to capture Victini's figure, determining the location.
"Also a little fool."
Will muttered.
Recognizing at a glance that Victini is the same type as Mew of the Tree of Beginning.
Or rather, these small Mythical Pokémon basically have this kind of temperament.
Even the Shadow Mythical Marshadow has cute and innocent places.
He temporarily didn't focus on Victini, but listened attentively to what those psychics were murmuring.
"This operation must not fail. That magical beast prophet appeared again; if nothing unexpected happens, the civil war of the Kingdom of the Vale will soon come to an end."
"Once the civil war of the Vale ends, no matter who the final winner is, after they recover, they will attack us immediately. They have the Divine Dragon; we can never be opponents."
"We must bring back a God for the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles before that. Not asking to defeat the Kingdom of the Vale,
Just to preserve the kingdom."
The psychic standing in the center spoke seriously, attitude resolute.
He is the main person in charge of this operation.
If this operation fails.
Then their Kingdom of the Blessed Isles will really struggle to survive from the hands of the Kingdom of the Vale.
"Can this little thing work?"
"Isn't that magical beast prophet also a little thing?"
"But..."
"Shut up, do you think I brought you here casually to catch a magical beast? This magical beast inside is one of the Gods beside the first King of the Kingdom of the Vale back then. It is said to have been on equal terms with the Divine Dragon at that time, definitely possessing extremely strong power. Don't underestimate."
The High Priest had no patience anymore.
Most people in this world know there was a Divine Dragon beside the first King of the Kingdom of the Vale.
But few people know, actually there was also a magical beast beside him that could be called a God.
Because this magical beast almost never participated in battles personally, even rarely appeared in front of everyone, so its presence was extremely low.
But this Pokémon does exist.
And was witnessed and drawn by the first High Priest of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles.
And this first High Priest is his ancestor.
So he knew the existence of this Pokémon, Victini.
"My Lord, no good; tried all means, just can't open this barrier."
At this time, a person ran over, saying distressedly.
"Damn it, I'll try Teleport."
The High Priest gritted his teeth, asking all people and Pokémon to retreat.
He walked into the barrier holding a wooden staff.
First wrapped the invisible Victini with Telekinesis, then frowned, ability activated.
Saw the High Priest who was still in the barrier a second ago.
Suddenly appeared in mid-air more than ten meters outside the barrier.
Thump!
After using Teleport, his head was already dizzy; falling from a height of more than ten meters, head hitting the ground made him faint on the spot.
If not for the generally domineering physical quality of people in the era of magical beasts, this High Priest would probably be dead.
The other two psychics reacted hearing the sound.
They were just focusing on sensing Victini's position, not noticing the High Priest at all.
Otherwise, they could at least catch him with Telekinesis.
But whatever said now is too late.
Victini didn't come out.
The High Priest fainted.
Two psychics looked at each other awkwardly, tacitly not mentioning this matter.
They were not surprised or shocked either.
Because Teleport is a very difficult move to learn, also consumes huge energy; most priests not to mention having enough mental power, can't even learn it.
Even the High Priest, able to use it, can't control the specific direction of movement.
That's why teleported to a place more than ten meters high and fell.
If not because this move was so uncontrollable.
The High Priest wouldn't have waited until the end to try with Teleport.
"Two Lords, what should we do now?"
Someone looked at the remaining two priests in confusion.
Now even the High Priest fainted.
Then what should they do?
"Continue to try."
"Mm, anyway no one found us; trying for a few more days should be no problem. I think with the current situation of the Kingdom of the Vale, no one will run to this snow mountain top."
The two priests looked at each other, having no clue.
Just when their voices fell.
In the darkness of the corner, suddenly a pale purple translucent shockwave shot towards them.
"Hm?!"
One of them noticed immediately.
However, before he could raise the wooden staff in his hand to release psychic power.
"ROAR!!"
Violent and turbulent shockwave blasted all of them and Pokémon away, slamming heavily onto the hard and rough wall.
Just this one move, Dragon Pulse.
Everyone including the two psychics fainted.
Among other dozens of Pokémon, half were also blasted half-disabled by one move, having no resistance ability in a short time.
"Druddigon, go solve them."
Will patted Druddigon's thigh, pointing to the remaining Pokémon.
He wasn't worried about Druddigon.
Current Druddigon level is up to Lv. 70.
Although only a Quasi-Elite level Pokémon, definitely exceeding these Pokémon in front by at least 20 levels.
The environment of the era of magical beasts is not comparable to the League era.
Not to mention anything else.
Just medical treatment greatly delayed the improvement of Pokémon.
In the League era, Pokémon dying, go to the Pokémon Center "ding ling dong long" (healing sound) and recover in a few moments.
But in this era of magical beasts, ten days or half a month might not heal well, even possibly causing more serious injuries or major illnesses due to untimely treatment or wrong medicine.
Therefore, whether the army of the Kingdom of the Vale or the army of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles, the average level of Pokémon is not high.
Just a bit better than the situation in the last century where Liz was.
A general's partner level is probably around Lv. 58, which can only be considered a veteran trainer in the future League era.
Like Rami's Golurk, Kazan's Bisharp.
Even with royal resources cultivation and excellent talent, because the cultivation time was only short five years, the level is not too high.
Both are Lv. 50+.
Bisharp's level is definitely higher; after all, how Will trained Kazan, Kazan would train Bisharp together like that, training intensity definitely higher than Golurk.
However.
Even a level of Lv. 58.
In front of the Lv. 70 Druddigon, is simply vulnerable.
Moreover, such precious combat power, the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles is reluctant to send here.
The Pokémon standing in front of Druddigon at this moment are just a mob of Lv. 40+.
If not for Druddigon being timid, afraid of getting beaten if fighting close up, only daring to bombard with long-range special moves like Dragon Pulse.
Otherwise.
Relying on their clan's superior physical attack talent and physical move pool, killing this group of Pokémon would be like chopping melons and vegetables, entering an uninhabited land.
Didn't pay attention to Druddigon playing kite tactics (hit and run/range) over there.
Will walked to the fainting High Priest.
Just now this High Priest lay on the ground, luckily dodging Druddigon's Dragon Pulse.
Although he fainted earliest.
But now might be the one in the best condition among all.
To prevent the other party from waking up suddenly.
Will came behind the High Priest, adding a few more hand chops to the back of his head.
He couldn't grasp this person's physical quality well, so didn't know if these few hand chops would kill this person.
But die is die.
Will didn't intend to spare anyone here anyway.
Nothing more than the difference between dying early and dying late.
Don't hold back against enemies.
He just told Kazan this sentence; how could he forget it in a blink of an eye?
