Standing at the entrance of the town, Xia De took out the red butterfly pendant. It trembled slowly in Xia De's palm, and then it flapped its wings like a living butterfly, leaving his palm and flying to the southwest of the town.
In the fog, the red butterfly left a dazzling red light trail, allowing Shade and the doctor to follow behind, looking at the red light and shadow clearly pointing out the road. However, just as they went deep into the town, the night sky changed.
The white fog obscured the sky above the island, and visibility had been reduced to the lowest point. There was no moon or starry sky to be seen, but when the doctor looked up, he, like Shade, clearly saw something green falling from the sky.
"Evil spirit."
The doctor said softly, and Shade nodded:
"The space is unstable. This is what the twin girls in the hotel just mentioned, the projection of the dead soul."
The spatial chaos on the central island of Green Lake was even more serious than the surrounding areas. Therefore, what happened here might not have happened in the city, but it would undoubtedly affect the two people's continued progress.
There weren't many green lights in the sky, so Shade and the doctor could only speed up their pace and follow the red butterfly forward, hoping to avoid the battle. But Leicia was on the other side of the town, so before they saw Leicia, the first soul projection in the sky had already landed in front of them.
Rather than calling it an evil spirit, it is better to say that it is a space distortion caused by the influence of space power. It is a spirit body covered with dense cracks, with three heads, four hands and three legs. These limbs are not evenly distributed around the spirit body, but are quite disordered, and there are even arms waving around the waist and neck, which once again proves that it is a projection of multiple spirit bodies forcibly spliced together.
It had no rationality at all, and immediately floated towards the doctor and Shade after landing. Its powerful malice indicated that a battle was inevitable.
"Moonlight Slash!"
Xia De raised his hand and a beam of moonlight flew into the fog. This attack was very accurate, but after the arc of moonlight hit the target, the space distortion object based on the spirit body only broke one hand. The destructive effect of the Silver Moon Slash was still effective, but the purification property did not appear.
"This thing can't be considered a complete evil spirit. It has stronger spatial attributes."
Xia De whispered to the doctor, and the doctor nodded:
"This island is so strange. Let's go as quickly as possible and don't stay too long."
As he spoke, he and Shade worked together. The doctor stretched out his right hand and pinched it. His normal arm was instantly wrapped in the pus of "Human Pus" and expanded into the shape of a giant tree. The black giant hand pinched the floating evil spirit, but when the doctor clenched his hand, the evil spirit disappeared into the palm of his hand.
"Moonlight Slash!"
Shade held the Night's Watch in both hands, turned around and slashed back. A dazzling silver light traced out an arc, and amidst the shrill wailing, the multi-headed spatial aberration that had just appeared had half of its body cut off by this full-strength sword.
The black cube was thrown out by the doctor, and after landing, it turned into a gurgling fountain of black pus. The deformed body above the pus wanted to move through space again, but was controlled by Shade's magic:
"Space Stabilization Aura!"
The jet of black pus turned into spikes on the ground, piercing the body of the aberration between its three legs. Then, with the pierced position as the center, the entire spirit body was infected by densely packed tiny black cubes.
Shade and the doctor each took a step back, then launched a final attack together:
"roar!"
The doctor opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of red flames. The fire of the demon with the smell of sulfur completely engulfed the deformed monster.
"Moonlight Greatsword!"
Shade tiptoed and appeared in the fog above and in front of the aberration, holding the Night's Watcher high above his head with both hands, and then the "Moonlight Greatsword" attached to the Night's Watcher, extending the length of the silver sword forward several times out of thin air.
"ha!"
The silver moonlight split the monster in the flames, leaving a brilliant silver light mark in the air. The two-part aberration wanted to rely on its own characteristics to become two smaller individuals to continue fighting, but the pink crystals and the black tiny cubes together infected the entire spirit. After the doctor's flame disappeared, only some ashes were left at the original place.
"Troublesome monster."
Although he and Shade worked well together, the doctor knew how disgusting it would be to encounter this thing alone.
"It's indeed troublesome, but what's more troublesome is that this might be the most basic type of monster that appears as the instability of space increases... The environment outside the island is not so bad, so such a strong deformed monster shouldn't appear."
Shad bent down and collected the ashes left after the mutant was eliminated into the test tube. Megan and Audrey, as well as Grandma Cassandra who would arrive soon, would probably be able to analyze something based on these.
Just as Shade and the doctor continued to move forward, in a three-story building in the southeast corner of Green Lake Town, in the living room on the second floor, a red-haired princess wearing a gorgeous long dress opened her eyes. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Leicia did not turn on the lights here, but the surroundings were not dark at this time, and the pendant on her waist was emitting a soft red light.
Through communication with Dorothy, she knew that this meant that Shad and Dr. Schneider had arrived nearby, and the knight who had promised to always protect them had indeed kept his promise.
After a short whistle and bell sound, the five-ring life ring appeared behind her. Leixia looked at her spirit rune with some regret. She had already prepared the ceremony to advance to the sixth ring, but she didn't expect to be so unlucky and encounter such a thing before the promotion.
Because she was preparing for a date with Shade before she suddenly came to this strange town, so she was even wearing a complicated red dress. She didn't bring too many spellcasting materials with her, but fortunately, the most important relics and the manuscripts needed to cast fairy tale magic were always kept close to her.
Although she knew that Xia De might appear at the next second, she still felt that the more this happened, the more careful and cautious she had to be.
Standing at the window, he looked at the thick fog outside, then frowned and looked at the scary green light in the sky. He listened patiently to all the sounds around him, and then he was almost scared by the clear footsteps behind him.
The princess turned back and, with the help of the light from the pendant around her waist, saw a middle-aged man with neat grey hair, wearing a respectable black suit and a monocle, appearing not far behind her.
Leicia's first impression of the stranger was that he was a scholar like Dorothy's father, Professor Louisa. But she knew that ordinary people could not appear in this place.
The stranger took the initiative to express his greetings to Leicia. He placed his left arm flat on his chest and bowed deeply:
"Your Highness, Princess Leisia Cavendish, welcome to my territory."
Leicia stepped back to the window and frowned slightly:
"Do you know me?"
"When I noticed you coming here, I already knew who you were. You and another girl I didn't know were the saviors chosen by the world. You are the last attempt of this world. No, no, no, please don't be nervous. I don't want to reveal the mission you and she are responsible for. In fact, as long as you survive, you have completed the mission of coming to this world."
Leicia didn't care what he said:
"Are you Laplace Klein Howard?"
She had heard from Shad about the Edwards family. After all, the land owned by the Edwards family was also part of Delarion.
"Yes."
The elegant and easy-going middle-aged man looked at the princess in the window:
"I have no ill will towards you, but I just can't help wanting to see what kind of final attempt the world makes before the end of the world."
He shook his head slightly:
"But please allow me to give you a suggestion - if my plan fails and I fail to save the world, then you and the other girl must become the chosen ones of the space. You are shouldering a great mission. Although you should not easily get involved in the whirlpool of the fate of the chosen ones, time is running out. Becoming the chosen ones will allow you to better demonstrate your qualities. Please become the starting point of a tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. This is what you must do."
The training of the royal family has enabled Leisia to master quite a lot of conversation skills, so she knows that she must not get into the other person's train of thought at this time:
"If you just wanted to see me, your goal has been achieved. Please go back. I am not here to collect taxes from you, the lord."
The man with the monocle smiled. He didn't look like the madman that Shade had described:
"I want to talk to the Godcaller holding the Night Watcher, one of the two people who are coming. Although my divination cannot tell his true identity, I think he must be someone you know. I want to talk to him carefully, not as an enemy, but in a calm and peaceful manner."
Leisia's back was already leaning against the windowsill:
"But I don't trust you, and I can't let a dangerous person like you meet him."
"Your Highness, Princess Leisia Cavendish, please allow me to point out a mistake you made. I am not dangerous to him. If he wants, he can kill me at any time. My divination will not be wrong."
But Leicia ignored him and jumped out of the window. Even though she was wearing a complicated dress, she jumped out as lightly as if she was performing acrobatics in a circus. This was also the effect of magic.
After landing safely, the life ring behind him illuminated the dense fog around him. He looked up and found that the fortune teller had not caught up. Laplace Klein Howard also looked up from the window. He whispered a reminder to Leicia:
"Please be careful. By the way, I didn't summon this person. If you need help, I'm always available."
A pale green light fell from the sky into the fog, and less than ten meters away from Leicia, a monster with six arms and three heads appeared, with its lower body made of smoke and its upper body made up of three different spirits fused together.
