Whispering Verse

"Let's go!"

Even with Shade's extremely strong space perception, she can only sense the location of enemies from another space. Only by relying on "she" can she accurately locate the enemy.

He stepped forward and appeared directly in front of the pharmacist:

"You show me the way, and I'll lead the way."

The number of enemies is not as large as expected, but the unobservable characteristics are quite troublesome.

Shade and the pharmacist lady ran out of the cemetery and the forest one after another. Then Shade relied on the long-range attack of thunder guns and shadow balls, as well as the wind blades and fireballs that the sorceress behind him would occasionally call out. After walking along, we finally returned to the trail in the forest in the heavy fog.

At this time, the strange buzzing sound sounded again, and dozens of densely packed tentacles actually poked out of the forest. Even if he doesn't have a phobia of giant objects, Shade still feels his scalp is numb at this moment:

"Light of confinement!"

He waved his hands at will to summon dozens of haloes to fly back, and then he and the sorceress quickly ran towards the dock in the fog.

Obviously the tentacles look scary, but just as their power is much smaller than Shade's, their resistance to control-type thaumaturgy is also far lower than Shade thought.

This time, let the pharmacist run in front, and Shade kept throwing the halo backwards behind her. Even though more and more tentacles came out of the forest, the two of them still boarded the trestle before the tentacles blocked the path from the forest to the dock.

The steamship was still parked at its original position. The pharmacist who was running in front jumped on the ship first. She was about to call Shade to come up quickly, but she found that the ship was actually rising.

Amid the sorceress's exclamation, two thick tentacles rose from the bottom of the lake and lifted the ship into the sky.

"careful!"

From an angle that Miss Pharmacist could not see, two rotating light wheels were thrown by Shade, flying in an arc in the fog and neatly cutting off the tentacles. The ship fell downwards together with the tentacle fragments, but unfortunately the ship fell on the beach in front of the pier. The hull cracked and the expensive small compression steam engine was scrapped.

Fortunately, although Miss Pharmacist cannot exert the power of the eleven rings, she can still protect herself from falling from a high altitude.

"Get back to the water first!"

As she spoke, she took out another bottle of magic potion and drank it, then stepped directly on the rippling lake water. Shade also relied on his ability to walk on water and retreated to the lake. But before he could take the second step, a deep black shadow appeared under the lake again, and then pushed Shade and the pharmacist Miss into the sky:

"Damn, what the hell?"

Shade's entire body dispersed into a swarm of red butterflies, flying out from the tentacles trying to strangle him. At the same time as the body appeared in the air, the thick rope was thrown out and flew towards the pharmacist, tying her waist and pulling her out.

[The tentacles come from the space outside the material world, and use the "space stabilizing halo" to expel them. 】

"But just now..."

[The monster fused with the corpse is different from this one. 】

The thaumaturgic effect spread in the air, and the tentacles that wanted to pounce on Shade and Miss Pharmacist again disappeared as if they were erased by an eraser. But the cost of using the [Space Stabilizing Halo] in such an unstable environment is that the sound of broken glass can be heard continuously, and even the solid white mist on the water surface slowly flows due to this.

The tentacles on the water surface disappeared, and Shade and Miss Pharmacist fell back to the surface of the water, but the sorceress groaned and fell to the water with her head covered. If it weren't for the "living rope trick" that pulled her waist to maintain her height, she almost lost control and fell into the water:

"Do not come near me!"

Even now, she still has not forgotten this incident, and then she groaned in pain again, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead:

"I heard murmurs, someone talking...and I understood, that's what it was."

"What exactly happened here?"

Shade asked, looking back at the island surrounded by thick fog. Densely squirming tentacles had filled the edge of the island, and among the tentacles, Shade actually saw a figure floating in mid-air with his feet off the ground.

"Thunder gun!"

He threw the silver-white thunderbolt without hesitation, but the dense tentacles stretched out automatically to help the figure whose appearance was unclear block the blow. Although the strength and negative resistance of the tentacles are not outstanding, they have to be admitted that their defense is very high.

"Can you still walk? If it's really difficult to move, just hold on to the rope and I'll take you away. I'm quite confident in basic spells like the living rope trick."

Shade said seriously. The sorceress gasped for air from the headache and raised her head to look at him with a complicated expression:

"I've caused trouble for you today, and he doesn't want me to leave."

The lady in the fog stood up tremblingly, and judging from her expression, her head really hurt:

"The echoes of the family are still lingering on the island. It turns out there is such a rule. I can't kill people on this island, otherwise it will lead to this kind of thing. What a new discovery."

She pursed her lips and said:

"Mr. Watson, you go first, he just wants to keep me."

The tentacles squirming on the edge of the island, controlled by the floating figure, were slowly attacking them on the water like an erupting tide.

"Who is he? He and those tentacles seem to come from another space, very close to the real space."

"I don't know either, but it must have something to do with Edwards. You go first, it has nothing to do with you. I have a way to deal with him."

She bit her lip, because her condition was a bit bad, and even the illusion that disguised her appearance was slowly failing, and there were already traces of gold in her green eyes:

"The things here are not something you can handle. I will pay a price and use my eleventh-level ring warlock power. You go first, Mr. Watson."

"Sorry, I'm not one to leave my companions alone."

His figure remained motionless in the fog.

"Don't say stupid things. You don't think you can win my favor..."

"You have a way to deal with him, what does that have to do with me?"

Shade turned to ask her with a frown. The pharmacist, who was in a poor mental state, felt that the man standing in front of her had become taller than the hill for a moment. The terrifying sense of oppression made her subconsciously hold her breath. He took a breath, and then saw Shade pulling the black key from his chest again:

"Ma'am, I'm really the sixth ring, I didn't lie."

He turned to face the island and the incoming tentacles, and thick steam mist had appeared from the void. The steam mist mixed with the surrounding white mist, and the hot heat made the sorceress, who was connected to Shade with a rope around her waist, even feel hot. The sound of the bell, as if from ancient times, sounded clearly in the ears, and the long sound of the whistle that followed was even more deafening.

The black shadow spinning in the fog got closer and closer, and the obviously large and abnormal brass ring finally appeared clearly behind Shade. The four-color spiritual light shone in all directions, and the light shone on the face of the pharmacist lady. She looked at the life ring and Shade's back in shock:

"Is it really the sixth ring? Wait, why is your life ring so big?"

"Are you sure this is okay?"

[Yes, but you have to explode with all your strength. And just like I warned you when you landed on the island, the movement will be very loud. 】

The fist holding the key stretched forward, and the bright silver moonlight radiated from Shade's palm. The simple and primitive power echoed the huge life ring behind him. Even though she had seen a thirteen-ring warlock cast spells with all his strength more than once, the pharmacist lady still thought that the power displayed by this six-ring man at this time was surprising.

She felt the fog moving, and the wind actually started to rise in the fog. The fluctuations of spirits and elements stirred up the originally almost solid fog. The golden sun, moon and stars ritual array appeared at Shade's feet, covering the water and even including the position of the pharmacist. For a moment, it seemed that the whole world turned black, leaving only the silver light in front of Shade shining on everything.

"In the name of Luvia Anat..."

He whispered, grabbing the long staff as the light extended to both sides. The spiritual light on the life ring shines on the [Stand of Yggdrasil], and the relic and the life ring echo each other. The resonating spirits and elements make a weak silver light adhere to Shade. Under the light of the silver moon, he The sorceress behind her also felt her mind become calmer.

Hundreds of densely packed tentacles were getting closer and closer to the two people on the water from the direction of the island, just like the palm of a giant trying to crush two small ants. The pharmacist lady subconsciously called another name in her heart for help, but she saw Shade grabbing the dark staff with both hands, raising it high, and then stabbed it into the water at his feet:

"Space - Stable Halo!"

Katcha~Kacha~Kacha~

The continuous sound of glass shattering spread towards the island from the point where the wooden stick landed. The thick fog was completely stirred by the sourceless wind, and the rotating fog on the water surface caused the fog on the entire island to flow until a strange spiral cloud column of white fog was formed above the island, like a storm.

On the surface of the water and the lake, as the spreading sound of broken glass came into contact with those tentacles, the tentacles disappeared without a trace as if they were wiped out of thin air. And when the power of the space-stabilizing halo finally touched the figure suspended by the lake, Qiushu and the figure were in a stalemate for a few seconds. With a long sigh, the sound seemed to be erased by an eraser and disappeared completely. Got:

"The family will finally be reunited~"

Until this moment, the huge golden ritual pattern that appeared at Shade's feet due to the summoning of the "Staff of Yggdrasil" slowly disappeared, but the ripples on the water surface spreading outward from his feet still fluctuated. With.

The huge and exaggerated spirit just now also swept the clothes of the lady behind Shade. She was the closest to Shade, and she could best feel how ancient the nature of the thaumaturgy was, and how exaggerated the effects were.

The life ring that burst out like the sun just now disappeared behind Sha De. The panting Sha De turned to look at the pharmacist lady:

"I just said I could come...are you okay?"

Behind him, the fog on the entire island became thinner, and above the island, a spiral cloud pillar seemed to connect the island to the sky. The air above the water surface that was temporarily affected by the [Space Stability Halo] was filled with dense cracks visible to the naked eye. The surrounding white fog temporarily dissipated, and the rays of the setting sun shone on that handsome face, and the brown and black eyes reflected her appearance at the moment.

At that moment, the sorceress felt as if her heart stopped beating for a second, and her head felt dizzy, making her confused about the scene in front of her.

The chapped lips squirmed, but no sound came out.

"This man is really nice. It's really strange. How does this feel now?"

said the voice in his ear.

[Yes, he is very good. But it is not yet certain whether it is really a man. 】

"The other me" is also adding.

"he......"

Under the setting sun, the sorceress raised her hand to tuck the broken hair behind her ears, pursed her lips and shook her head at Shade, then lowered her head to look at her reflection on the water:

"......very nice."
