Banner of the Evil God

In the old and slightly dilapidated castle, a group of people moved forward cautiously.

They formed a long and narrow formation, with the knight walking in the front, the warrior about three steps behind him, and the mage about three steps behind. Continuing to the back, it was the priest and the ranger.

This formation is extremely defensive. The knight and the warrior in the front are not to be mentioned. The ranger and the priest in the back react quickly and are at least wearing armor. Even if they are attacked, they can withstand it for a while, protecting the mage in the middle very well.

Yui herself did not think she needed such protection. Although the mage herself lacked sufficient training, her combat experience could make up for the lack of physical strength. Even if she encountered a sudden attack from the evil spirit, she would not really be helpless and wait for death.

But she did not reject the kindness of her companions. On the contrary, she was very happy.

A team that cares about each other, even if it is not strong enough, is at least warm enough.

The five people moved along the wall, walking very slowly, stopping from time to time to observe carefully. Under Yui's reminder, the priest used the clergy's innate induction and his relative energy ability carefully to avoid being attacked by the evil spirit. Without this observation point, they could only use their eyes and ears more to look for clues from the surrounding environment.

Every time they passed a window, the warrior pulled down the curtain covering the window, which meant that the owner of the castle would need to spend a small amount of money to repair it, but compared with the trouble that might be caused to the owner of the castle who didn't know where he was, the lighting that could be obtained by pulling down the curtain was more important to them.

Sui Xiong watched their actions silently and nodded slightly.

At the beginning, the adventure team broke into the castle without any preparation. They searched all the way and didn't find any clues, but they were marked by the evil spirit unknowingly. At night, they stayed in the guest room on the second floor of the castle and were attacked by the evil spirit. The fight was very hard and they were almost wiped out.

The current adventure team has not changed much in strength compared to the original one - after all, it is the same five people, but with Yui's preparation and command, the combat effectiveness of the entire team has been greatly improved. If nothing unexpected happens, at least this afternoon, the evil spirits should not dare to attack them.

Wait until tomorrow, Yui can prepare more, and then the evil spirits will be at a greater disadvantage.

But he frowned immediately, because he clearly saw that the evil spirit lurking on the top floor of the castle actually showed the intention to attack, and... as it showed the intention to attack, the aura on its body began to slowly increase.

"Strange! How could this happen?"

Sui Xiong wondered to himself, he was sure that he did not do anything, so why would this evil spirit attack in broad daylight when it was obviously at a disadvantage?

For evil spirits, daytime is not a suitable time to fight. If they have to fight in the daytime, they should be weakened, so why did they become stronger instead?

He was confused and hurriedly used his divine power to check the detailed settings of this world, and finally found out the reason - the overall layout of this world came from the believer's memory of the original adventure. In the believer's memory, the evil spirit was a fierce and dangerous enemy. So when facing an increasingly unfavorable situation, the evil spirit made corresponding changes according to the believer's impression.

The reason why it suddenly became stronger was also for the same reason.

Although... this change is actually very unreasonable and does not conform to the common style of evil spirits in reality.

After figuring out the reason, Sui Xiong nodded slightly, feeling a little emotional.

What kind of enemy is the most powerful? The enemy that people fear is the most powerful. Because "fear" will weaken people's power and establish an impression that the enemy is powerful and difficult to defeat.

In a materialistic world like the earth, this situation is not too significant, but in this idealistic world, consciousness itself is part of the power, and people's fear will naturally become part of the villain's power, making them stronger.

For example, this evil spirit, the believer's fear gave it a powerful power, which exceeded its own strength.

He frowned, used his divine power, and revised the settings of this world.

The evil spirit hiding in the dark, with a hideous face, staring at Yui and the others fiercely, suddenly weakened its aura.

"Fairness, fairness first." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "I am not the evil Lord God Big Light Ball. Adventurers' own efforts are definitely not a reason to increase the difficulty."

Yui and the others certainly didn't know what was happening in secret. They spent some time walking around the hall on the ground floor of the castle. After making sure there was no problem, they carefully stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.

Not long after walking a short distance, the priest suddenly frowned and said loudly: "Did you hear the woman crying?"

Everyone stopped and listened attentively.

After a while, the ranger replied: "No, but I am a little uneasy. It may be that the enemy is launching a mental attack."

"I don't feel anything at all." The warrior said carelessly, "Are you mistaken?"

The knight did not jump to conclusions, staring at Yui, waiting for her judgment.

Unconsciously, he had come to regard this wizard, who might be the weakest in the team, as a wise leader, just like some armies would let civilians lead the troops - as long as the brains were good enough, the martial arts skills themselves were not important.

Yui did not disappoint him. She also listened for a while - or rather, she acted like she was listening for a while. She nodded and came to a conclusion.

"I don't know why, but the evil spirit got crazy and wanted to fight us in broad daylight." She said with a smile, "To be honest, I have never seen such a stupid evil spirit in books."

"Is daylight bad for it?" the soldier asked.

"Of course, during the day, the sun will shed strong positive energy, and any necromantic monster will be affected and weakened." Yui said with a smile, "If we can let the sunlight shine directly on it, maybe we don't need to If you do it, it will be destroyed."

"This is great!" The soldier was happy, "What should we do next?"

Yu Yi was stunned for a moment, unable to keep up with his out-of-the-box thinking. After thinking for a while, he said: "Ignore the crying and act according to our own plan."

"Ah? Ignore the crying?" The pastor was a little surprised, "Didn't that give it enough time to arrange it?"

Yu Yi smiled and explained: "In terms of time, it has been in the castle for so long, and it has already had enough time to arrange whatever it wants. The crying now is probably to lure us there The most dangerous place is a trap.”

"In that case, shouldn't we avoid crying?" asked the knight.

"Theoretically, it's true, but... I don't know what the evil spirit is thinking. What if it is more intelligent and plays tricks on the true and false? Maybe the direction of the crying is better. It’s probably the safest.”

The soldier's eyes were a little dull, and he asked distressedly: "What should we do? Doesn't this mean that everything is dangerous?"

"So my suggestion is, don't worry about it." Yui smiled confidently, "As long as we grasp the rhythm ourselves and act according to the plan we are prepared for, that is the best response!"
