Chapter 21 Creeping Hands
The doors in the city lord's mansion are all heavy wooden doors. Even if you push the door open on weekdays, it would be a bit laborious, and there is no chance of it being blown open by the wind.
Alice reacted very quickly and shouted loudly the moment she heard the strange noise: "I'm here, everyone, stay calm and stand where you are."
Her words made the guards realize something. The chaotic footsteps stopped, the courtyard suddenly returned to silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Aaron subconsciously looked at the darkness not far away, looking at the place where the firelight could not shine.
Shadows and darkness obscured his vision, but he could vaguely feel that there was something there.
At this time, Alice had already snatched the torch from one of the attendants, "Everyone, put out the torches, now!"
Perhaps because of the unquestionable attitude in her words, or perhaps because of her noble status, the torches were extinguished, and within a few breaths, only the torch in Alice's hand was left around.
The range of this torch's illumination was extremely limited, and the group of people had to huddle together to avoid leaving the range of the firelight.
"Who is the enemy?" Aaron asked subconsciously when he saw Alice acting like this.
"It's just possible," Sartre comforted Aaron, but inadvertently took a few steps forward and stood next to Aaron. He already held a small amount of psychic powder in his hand and recited a certain mantra in a low voice. .
Aaron only saw the psychic powder turn into a burst of blue light, and all of it disappeared into Sartre's eyes. The starlight that was originally only vaguely visible in his eyes suddenly became more intense.
He temporarily constructed a simple ritual, "Star Eye" with the help of psychic powder.
The complete version of Star Eye is a ritual that can be constructed using Sky Star Stone as the main material, plus many auxiliary materials such as Cat's Eye Stone, Awakening Root and Shining Root juice.
Depending on the level of the seer and the amount of spices invested, the ritual can allow people to gain additional spirituality and perception for a period of time, making it easier to detect subtle changes.
These were originally some auxiliary rituals for the prophet before holding large-scale ceremonies, and now they can naturally be used to temporarily assist in battles.
Although the "Star Eye" ceremony held after simplifying the spices is greatly reduced in duration and effect, it does not require lengthy preparation time.
In Sartre's vision, all colors faded quickly, light and darkness lost their meaning, leaving only the purest and purest nothingness.
And in this unobstructed space, he only saw several light spots of different sizes and colors around him - those were the souls of their group.
Not far away, he also saw a black-purple light spot.
The moment Sartre saw the black-purple light spot, he couldn't help but feel his breath suffocate, as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his neck.
Fortunately, as a gold-coin transcendent, Sartre's soul was relatively powerful and he was able to get rid of this suffocating feeling in the blink of an eye.
In this moment of contact, Sartre saw the other person, and the other person also saw him.
"The bronze-level enemy may be on the soul side. It saw me, and it's the only one." Sartre reminded Alice loudly.
Alice handed the torch to the attendant beside her and shouted loudly: "Others follow the torch and retreat, don't look back!"
She deliberately emphasized the last four words.
Before she finished speaking, she smoothly pulled out the sword and unhooked the shield. Silvery white light erupted from the sword, covering her whole body in the blink of an eye, and she rushed towards the darkness where she couldn't even see her fingers.
It was only then that Aaron realized that the night around him was abnormally thick, as if it were the real thing. He could even clearly see the traces of Alice passing by in the night.
Ed glanced at Aaron, but did not follow Alice immediately. Instead, he held a one-handed shield beside Aaron and Sartre, lowered his head slightly, and looked around alertly, allowing the guards to pass by him.
Although he is only a bronze-level swordsman, his rich combat experience allows him to be more cautious.
Cultists are good at manipulating people's hearts. Since there are ordinary people here, it means there is more than one enemy...
The young lady will not be in danger for the time being, but if Aaron and Sartre are suddenly attacked, there may be big trouble.
really!
His judgment was correct.
When the last guard passed by Aaron, without any warning, he suddenly swung his one-handed sword towards Aaron.
Before Aaron could even react, he only heard a muffled sound, and Ed's one-handed shield blocked the one-handed sword in time.
The guard was carrying the torch away, and the expression on his face was completely unclear. He could only see two scary red lights in the darkness.
Ed had a sullen face and repeated Alice's words loudly, "Don't look back! Leave now!"
The originally messy footsteps became a little noisier.
Roar!
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the guard let out an inhuman roar and threw away the one-handed shield that was in the way. The exquisite one-handed sword brought up a fierce wind in the air and slashed down again.
At this time, he has burst out with power that is unmatched by ordinary people, but unfortunately, his opponent is Ed, a bronze-level transcendent.
Ed carefully hid his body behind the shield, waved the shield to push away the guard's sword, and at the same time thrust out the one-handed sword in his hand.
Aaron only heard a sound like a water bag bursting, and then a warm liquid splashed on his face, which was a little sticky.
He wiped his face subconsciously, but smelled a smell of blood.
is blood?
He was stunned.
Then, a whimpering sound came from the opposite side. He could not see anything in the darkness, but the two red lights disappeared.
The crisp sound of metal falling to the ground and the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded almost simultaneously.
At this time, Alice shouted again not far away: "It's a creeping hand, be careful where you step!"
Almost at the same time, Aaron felt the ground beneath his feet begin to stir like a living thing, and he could even feel an inexplicable force under the ground pulling on his ankle.
"Starlight above, show me the way." Sartre raised a handful of psychic powder at the right time and said quickly.
In an instant, all the blue light points flying in the air burned, and the overflowing brilliance illuminated everything around them. At the same time, the blue light strips quickly attached to the three people.
Through the light spot temporarily created by Sartre, Aaron discovered that at some point, the ground under their feet had been completely deformed, and palms made entirely of soil were firmly grasping his ankles.
He also saw, not far away, an attendant lying on his back in a pool of blood, while Ed was trying to use the one-handed shield in his hand to break away the obstructing palm of the earth.
On the other side, Alice shouted again, with a bit of surprise in her tone: "Be careful, it's coming!"
But Aaron saw the attendant's two palms strangely broken off at the elbow level, flying into the air, and silently pounced on the unconscious Ed.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't catch his breath. He just choked and shouted: "Ed, be careful!"
