Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1823 - 169: Chaotic Guidance (Happy New Year)

"Buzz buzz buzz!!"

As Pandora’s illusion plummeted downward, a dazzling golden light erupted from its eyes. Among Valentina and her group, it was Alagina who reacted first.

"Go!!"

She shouted in a deep voice, and the cardinal device on her body instantly lit up. The flagship machine, waiting in the rear, spewed countless flames and quickly flew over to shield them.

"Crack crack crack!"

At the same time as they blocked Pandora’s sight, they emitted crisp sounds from their bodies. Upon closer examination, they had already half turned into stone and could no longer move.

At this moment, Moli and Valentina finally came to their senses, their expressions changing as they retreated toward the troops behind them.

Alagina was also pulled up by a flagship machine and quickly headed toward the back.

"Now you know to run?"

Elizabeth sneered, stepped forward and kicked over the cardinals turned into stones, then reached out to grab the hand of Pandora’s illusion beside her. As she floated upward, she turned back and instructed the soldiers preparing to follow,

"There are legions ahead responsible for intercepting them. You go back and maintain stability, ensuring no looting or other incidents occur. If any Saint Nali people die because of this, I’ll take your heads."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we’ll ensure the task is completed..." The leading soldier saluted, but then said to Elizabeth, "The Navy General sent a message earlier, expressing fear they couldn’t withstand the enemies from Dragon Court, and specially requested further orders from Your Majesty."

"Have them withdraw; no need to send them to their deaths."

"Understood!"

Although Elizabeth intended to pursue immediately, she was delayed for a brief moment by this issue. However, even if her subordinates faced Rafael, who was already at Mythical Rank, they would be of no use. Before leaving, Elizabeth added another instruction,

"Have them wait at other ports, no need to worry about Saint Nali."

"Understood!"

After giving these instructions, Elizabeth was pulled by Pandora’s illusion toward the direction where Valentina and her group were fleeing.

For Pandora’s illusion at the Nineteen Ranks, the time they spent escaping was nothing. The gales from their rapid speed pressed Elizabeth’s uniform tightly against her body, yet she remained unmoved, gripping the fluid sword that shimmered with golden light as she quickly closed in on the fleeing group.

Coincidentally, they were also about to rendezvous with their troops.

From above, the victory seemed assured. Although she would relish toying with these bastards in a cat-and-mouse game, as a military commander, she understood the principle that delays could lead to changes...

So, at this time and place, she aimed to annihilate them and their troops completely.

"Miss Valentina! Captain Alagina, you’re back!"

Ossie, fighting fiercely in the air ahead, turned her head upon hearing the sound of something swiftly approaching, but Valentina’s face changed suddenly and she shouted to her,

"Don’t come closer!"

"Wh—"

"Crack crack crack!"

Just as Ossie was about to speak, a flash of golden light appeared before her eyes, and her cloak began to uncontrollably turn into stone.

Alagina, following behind, turned pale, biting her lip as she pushed her cardinal device to overload. Before Ossie fully turned to stone, she grabbed her into her arms and used the cardinal device to shield against the golden light from behind.

"Boom!"

The last flagship machine, turned to stone, crashed down with a thunderous sound, catching the attention of the Wutong Tree Force immersed in battle nearby. The first sight that met their eyes was Alagina holding Ossie and rapidly falling.

"Alagina!"

In mid-air, Valentina hesitated slightly, but Alagina, being mere flesh and blood, emitted bone-cracking sounds as she crashed down. However, despite the pain twisting her face, she clung tightly to Ossie and shouted to the sky,

"Don’t stop! Keep flying, her target is definitely us first!"

Due to Fisher’s involvement, Elizabeth held a visible loathing for them, and as the de facto leaders of the Wutong Tree Force, Elizabeth logically and emotionally wanted them taken out first.

Valentina’s lack of combat experience manifested once again in this situation. Her instinctive concern for Alagina actually distracted her, but she quickly realized the critical nature of the situation. Yet, in front of a Nineteen Ranks entity, even less than a second of delay was a fatal oversight.

Sure enough, just as she belatedly attempted to take flight again, the chilling sound echoed behind her,

"Crack crack crack crack!"

Her wings were turning to stone!

The excruciating pain transmitted from her feathers made her body stiffen, and she let out a cry of agony. Fortunately, at this critical moment, Moli extended herself, urgently throwing her golden sword in the direction of Elizabeth’s pursuit.

With a cold snort, Elizabeth’s Pandora illusion reached out and deflected the golden longsword with a sonic boom. Looking again at that side, Valentina, amidst turning to stone, had already disappeared.

Upon looking down, it was clear that Moli had already saved Valentina, but the two fleeing individuals were already injured. No matter how Moli ran, she could only reach the Wutong Tree’s stronghold.

Let’s see how you bastards escape...

Elizabeth showed no emotion, but the golden light on Pandora’s illusion intensified, ready to turn everyone in the stronghold to stone. Moli, with an unsatisfied expression, glanced at the wounded and stone-feathered Valentina in her arms, then looked up unwillingly at Elizabeth in the sky.
