“Go!”
Even with Xia De's extremely strong spatial perception, he could only vaguely sense the position of the enemy from another space. Only with "her" could he 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 many as expected, but the unobservable nature is quite troublesome.
Shad and the pharmacist lady ran out of the cemetery and the forest one after another. Then Shad relied on the long-range attack of the lightning gun and shadow ball, as well as the wind blades and fireballs occasionally summoned by the sorceress behind him. The two of them fought as they walked, and finally returned to the path in the forest in the fog.
At this moment, the strange buzzing sound sounded again, and dozens of dense tentacles actually poked out from the forest. Even if he didn't have giant fear, Shade still felt his scalp tingling at this moment:
"Imprisoning Light!"
He casually waved his hands to summon dozens of halos that flew to the back, then he and the sorceress quickly ran towards the dock in the fog.
The tentacles looked terrifying, but just as their strength was much smaller than Shade's, their resistance to control magic was also much lower than Shade thought.
This time, the pharmacist ran in front, and Shade kept throwing halos behind her. Even though more and more tentacles sprang out from the forest, the two still boarded the pier before the tentacles blocked the path from the forest to the dock.
The steamship was still parked in its original position. The pharmacist lady who was running in front jumped onto the ship first. She was about to call out to Xia De to get on board quickly, but she found that the ship was actually rising.
As the sorceress screamed, two thick tentacles rose from the bottom of the lake and lifted the ship high into the sky.
"careful!"
At an angle that the pharmacist could not see, two rotating light wheels were thrown out by Shade, flying in an arc in the fog and neatly cutting off the tentacles. The ship and the fragments of the tentacles fell down together, but the ship unfortunately fell on the mudflats in front of the dock. The hull cracked and the expensive small compression steam engine was directly scrapped.
Fortunately, although the pharmacist cannot exert the power of the eleventh ring, she has no problem protecting herself from falling from a high altitude.
"Get back to the surface first!"
As she spoke, she took out another bottle of potion and drank it, then stepped directly onto the rippling lake water. Shade also used his ability to walk on the water to retreat to the surface of the lake, but before he could take the second step, a deep black shadow appeared again under the lake, and then lifted Shade and the pharmacist up to the sky:
"What the hell?"
Xia De's entire body was scattered into a group of red butterflies, flying out from the tentacles that were trying to strangle him. As his body appeared in the air, the heavy rope that was thrown out flew towards the pharmacist, tied her waist and pulled her out.
The tentacles come from space outside the material world, use the "space stabilization aura" to repel them.
"But just now..."
The monster that merged with the corpse was different from this one.
The magic effect spread in the air, and the tentacles that wanted to pounce on Shade and the pharmacist disappeared as if erased by an eraser. However, the cost of using the space stabilization aura in such an unstable space was the continuous sound of broken glass, and even the solidified white mist on the water surface began to flow slowly.
The tentacles disappeared, and Shade and the pharmacist fell back to the surface of the water, but the sorceress groaned and fell to the surface of the water, covering her head. If it weren't for the "living rope trick" pulling her waist to maintain her height, she would have almost lost control and fallen into the water:
“Don’t come near me!”
Even now, she still hasn't forgotten this incident, and then she groaned in pain again, with beads of sweat appearing on her forehead:
"I heard whispers, someone was talking... I understood, that's what it was."
"What on earth is going on?"
As Shade asked, he turned around and looked at the island surrounded by thick fog. The edge of the island was already filled with dense, wriggling tentacles, and among the tentacles, Shade actually saw a figure with both feet off the ground, floating in the air.
“Thunder gun!”
He threw out the silver-white lightning without hesitation, but the dense tentacles automatically stretched out to help the figure whose face could not be seen block the attack. Although the strength and negative resistance of the tentacles were not outstanding, it had to be admitted that their defense was very high.
"Can you still walk? If it's really difficult for you to move, just hold the rope and I'll take you away. I have confidence in basic spells like the rope trick."
Shade said seriously. The sorceress gasped for air in the headache and looked up at him with a complicated expression:
"It's me who got you into trouble today. He didn't want me to leave."
The lady in the fog stood up trembling, and from her expression it seemed that she really had a headache:
"The echoes of the family still linger on the island. It turns out there is such a rule. I can't kill anyone on this island, otherwise it will attract this kind of thing. It's really a new discovery."
She pursed her lips:
"Mr. Watson, you go first. He just wants to keep me."
The squirming tentacles at the edge of the island were being controlled by the floating figure and were slowly approaching them on the water like a bursting tide.
"Who is he? He and those tentacles seem to come from another dimension, very close to the real dimension."
"I don't know either, but it must be related to Edwards. You go first, this has nothing to do with you. I have a way to deal with him."
She bit her lip. Her condition was not good. Even the illusion that disguised her appearance was slowly losing its effect. Her green eyes were already showing traces of gold.
"The things here are not something you can handle. I can use my own power as an eleventh-level ring sorcerer for a small price. You go first, Mr. Watson."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not one to leave my companions alone."
His figure remained motionless in the fog.
"Don't talk nonsense. You don't think you can win my favor this way..."
"You have a way to deal with him, what does it have to do with me?"
Xia De turned around and frowned and asked her. The pharmacist lady, who was in a bad mental state, felt that the man standing in front of her had become taller than the hill. The terrifying sense of oppression made her subconsciously hold her breath, and then she saw Xia De pull the black key from his chest again:
"Ma'am, I really am a six-ring person. I am not lying."
He turned his head to face the island and the tentacles, and thick steam mist had already appeared from the void. The steam mist mixed with the surrounding white mist, and the scalding heat made the female sorceress, who was tied to Shade with a rope around her waist, even feel the heat. The sound of the bell, as if it came from ancient times, rang clearly in his ears, and the long whistle that followed was even more deafening.
The spinning black shadow in the fog was getting closer and closer, and the obviously abnormally large brass wheel ring finally appeared clearly behind Xia De. The four-color spiritual light shone in all directions, and the light sprinkled on the face of the pharmacist. She looked at the life ring and Xia De's back in astonishment:
"Really six rings? Wait, why is your life ring so big?"
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Yes, but you have to go all out. And just like you were reminded when you landed on the island, the noise will be very loud.
The fist holding the key stretched forward, and the bright silver moonlight radiated from Shade's palm. The ancient and primitive power echoed with the huge life ring behind him. Even though she had seen the thirteenth ring warlock cast spells with all his strength more than once, the pharmacist still thought that the power displayed by the six-ring man at this time was amazing.
She felt the fog moving, and there was actually wind in the fog. The fluctuations of spirits and elements stirred up the fog that was almost solidified. The golden sun, moon and stars ritual array appeared under Xia De's feet, covering the water surface and even the position of the pharmacist. In an instant, it seemed that the whole world turned black, leaving only the silver light in front of Xia De, illuminating everything.
"In the name of Luvia Anate..."
He whispered, grabbing the staff as the light extended to both sides. The spiritual light on the life ring illuminated the Staff of Yggdrasil. The relic and the life ring echoed each other, and the resonating spirits and elements made a faint silver light attached to Shad. Under the glow of the silver moon, the sorceress behind him also felt her heart become calm.
Hundreds of dense tentacles were approaching the two people on the water from the island, just like a giant's palm trying to crush two small ants. The pharmacist subconsciously called out another name for help, but saw Shade grab the black staff with both hands, raised it high, and then stabbed it into the water under his feet:
"Space-stable aura!"
Kacha~kacha~kacha~
The continuous sound of glass breaking spread towards the island from the point where the wooden stick landed. The thick fog was completely stirred by the wind without a source, and the fog rotating on the water surface drove the fog of the entire island to flow, until a strange spiral cloud column composed of white fog, like a storm, formed above the island.
On the surface of the water and the lake, as the spreading sound of broken glass came into contact with the tentacles, the tentacles disappeared without a trace as if they were wiped out of thin air. When the power of the spatial stabilization aura finally touched the figure floating by the lake, the magic and the figure were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and with a long sigh, the sound also disappeared as if it had been erased by an eraser:
"The family will eventually be reunited~"
Until this moment, the huge golden ritual pattern that appeared under Shad's feet due to the summoning of the Staff of Y'k'trasil slowly disappeared, but the ripples on the water spreading outward from under his feet were still fluctuating.
The huge and exaggerated spirit just now also swept the clothes of the lady behind Shade. She was closest to Shade and could best feel how ancient the essence of the magic was and how exaggerated the effect was.
The life ring that had just burst into light like the sun disappeared behind Xia De. Panting, Xia De turned around and looked at the pharmacist:
"I just said I'd come... Are you okay?"
Behind him, the fog of the entire island became thinner, and above the island, a spiral cloud column seemed to connect the island to the sky. The air on the water surface, temporarily affected by the aura of spatial stability, was full of dense cracks visible to the naked eye. The surrounding white fog temporarily dissipated, and the glow of the setting sun shone on that handsome face, and her current appearance was reflected in her brown and black eyes.
At that moment, the sorceress felt as if her heart stopped beating for a second, and the dizziness in her head made her a little dazed by the scene in front of her.
His dry lips moved a little, but no sound came out.
"This man is really nice. It's really strange, what does this feel like now?"
The voice in my ear said.
Yes, he's nice. But I'm not sure if he's a real man yet.
"Another me" also added.
"he... ... "
Under the setting sun, the sorceress raised her hand to tuck the loose 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."
