Xia De kept an eye on the time. When there were still 10 seconds left before the Bordeaux Candle's maximum usage time of 47 seconds, he led the two girls to the shadow of the building. He extinguished the candle and then immediately relit it. After confirming that it still did not attract attention, he continued to walk towards the wall of the three-story building of the printing factory.
The door was locked from the inside, but they didn't want to go in through the door. After walking around the small building for a while, Miss Anat kept tossing coins to predict her luck, and finally chose a window. After Miss Bei Yasi opened the door with a special alchemical item, the three of them climbed in one by one.
There are many ways to sneak in, and killing everyone is one option, but the three people's target tonight is the ruins, so if you can avoid fighting with the ring warlock on the ground, don't provoke him.
There were no lights on the entire first floor, and the air was filled with the smell of ink, which was very consistent with the atmosphere of a printing factory.
In the silence, Miss Annat took Shad's hand and walked in front, leading the two to find the room where the night watchman was on the first floor.
He did not enter, but carefully blew some black dust in through the crack in the door.
The three of them moved away from the door and held their breath, while Xia De extinguished the candle and lit it again. After a full minute, they dared to breathe, and then left here and walked towards the underground warehouse where the goods of the printing factory were piled up.
The entrance to the underground warehouse was on the side of the stairs on the west side of the first floor. It was blocked by an iron door that looked very sturdy. There were two iron locks hanging outside the iron door, and the door was sealed with an iron chain. Even if the people inside wanted to get out, they had to cooperate with the people outside.
The three of them stood at the door. Miss Anat flipped the coin again, hesitated for a moment, and nodded to the other two, which meant that she thought there was a high probability that there was a ring sorcerer in the warehouse. Although according to the strength of the Mercury Blood Organization and the suspicion of the injured Silver Eyed Man, the highest level of the person guarding the gate of the ruins would not exceed 6 rings, but after all, Miss Anat, the strongest of the three, was only 3 rings.
"Silence spell."
Miss Anat looked at Miss Beas, who shook the iron triangle in her hand. With a slight force on her fingers, the runes on the metal glowed faintly in the darkness, and then it was as if a gust of wind blew over the three of them, and the sound completely disappeared.
Miss Anat looked at Shad, who gestured to show that he understood.
He reached out and extinguished the candle, then immediately lit it. When the candle lit up again and the 47-second countdown started again, Miss Anat reached out and pushed open the door in front of her. The spell took effect and the sound of the door opening completely disappeared. The dazzling light of the gas lamp inside the door immediately shone through the crack in the door.
Without any hesitation, Miss Bei Yasi, who was standing in front of the door, rushed in first. In order to prevent herself from using her power and causing the other two to appear, she let go of Xia De's hand.
With her left hand, she shook the silver metal bell hanging from her waist, the Holy Bell of Judgement. Amid the ringing of the bell that no one could hear, Miss Bei Yasi raised her right hand high:
"Sunshine Gun!"
The golden thunder gathered in the palm of his hand, but strangely, there was no thunderclap sound. The golden color made the inside and outside of the door bright, and then Miss Bei Yasi shot the golden thunder into the underground warehouse with a powerful blow.
Still in stealth mode, Shade and Miss Annat quickly entered the underground warehouse and stood on the steps down to close the open door. The Silencing Spell was cast at their feet to ensure that no sound would be transmitted to the outside world.
Only after they crossed the spell could they hear the whistle and bell, which was a sign of the manifestation of the life ring.
Coming from the dark environment to the warehouse with gas lights on, Shade squinted his eyes subconsciously. But Miss Annat didn't care so much, she immediately let go of Shade, rushed down the stairs, and went to the underground warehouse to help Miss Bei Yasi.
Cardboard boxes are stacked inside the warehouse, some even reaching the ceiling, forming a maze of cardboard boxes in the huge underground warehouse.
At the end of the stairs, Miss Anat and Miss Beas stood side by side. The life rings appeared behind the two ladies, and in front of them, a bald man with a scar on his right eye was looking at them with a gloomy face, covering his left arm that was injured by the sun gun.
In this case, there was no need to say nonsense like "Who are you?" The man stretched out his hand, and the life ring belonging to the five-ring warlock spun rapidly, and the spiritual light was stretched into a circular line flashing in the steam mist.
Xia De counted down in his mind, took out the ancient witch's gold necklace from his pocket, temporarily held the candle in his mouth, and hung the necklace around his neck with both hands.
At the same time, another golden lightning appeared in Miss Bei Yasi's hand, as if it was going to penetrate the space. The scarred man lowered his waist slightly, and then disappeared into the air.
The shining golden thunder bombarded the cardboard box, piercing through it and leaving charred marks on the wall. The pages scattered by the thunder flew in the air. Miss Anat threw another coin, her purple eyes firm:
"left."
Miss Beatrice gently shook the bell with her left hand—
Ding Dong~
The left foot stomped on the ground fiercely, and a shock wave composed of golden light spread from the ground under his feet to the left. More cardboard boxes collapsed in pieces, but at the same time, the figure of the man also appeared:
"You are all low-level warlocks. How dare you..."
With her right hand, she punched Miss Anat in the air. After a dull sound, the female fortune teller spat out a mouthful of blood, took a step back and fell on the steps, motionless. Then she wanted to punch Miss Beiyas in the air again, but the appearance of the enemy also meant that Miss Beiyas had the opportunity to look him in the eye:
"balance!"
Yellow light spread from the eyes to the surroundings, and as the sound of bells rang, another golden thunder flew out.
The scarred man tried to disappear into thin air again, but when he bent over, only his legs disappeared:
"What? What kind of power is this?"
He lay on his side to avoid the sun gun, but then a silver light suddenly lit up from the side. He couldn't dodge, so he could only raise his arms to resist, and then he saw the gorgeous dreamlike silver light.
He was distracted for a moment, and immediately the mercury glow on his arm tried to block Silver Moon's attack, but the moonlight was not affected at all, and it cut off his right arm like cutting a carrot.
The cross-section of the severed arm was unusually smooth, and blood only started to flow out after the arm fell to the ground.
"ah!"
The scarred man howled and leaped up, and Shade, whose body was revealed by the magic, immediately retreated. The candlelight lit up, and he disappeared again.
The man held onto the ground with one hand, his entire body trembling. A terrifying black mist came out of his pores and enveloped his entire body:
"Do you... really know who you are dealing with?"
His body completely melted into the fog, and then a huge, gloomy ghost face howled, sweeping the terrifying black fog upwards. There seemed to be countless hideous faces roaring in the black fog, and in that huge ghost face, hundreds of souls could be seen wailing.
The cold wind blew through the closed basement. Amid the strange whispers, the light inside the room became increasingly dim. Shade felt his strength draining away quickly, as the black mist was absorbing his life force.
"This is the incarnation of the necromancy magic ghost mist. I know who he is! The fifth-ring warlock Gost Mount of Mercury Blood. The bounty is as high as 300 pounds. Be careful, don't get touched by the mist."
Miss Bei Yasi shouted loudly, and threw the golden thunder in her hand towards the fog again, but it only evaporated part of the black fog. The girl with long brown hair gritted her teeth:
"Damn it, we have to attack that fog at the same time. Point-to-point attacks are useless."
"It doesn't matter. He doesn't have the power of a five-ring warlock now. Look at me!"
Miss Annat, who was lying on the steps, took off the butterfly-shaped hair accessory from her hair with difficulty and threw it into the air. A group of transparent blue butterflies flew out of the hair accessory continuously and entangled with the black mist wrapped by the ghost face.
The black fog was actually being swallowed by the blue butterflies, but Ghost Face didn't care at all. He roared and dragged the black smoke towards the direction of the disappeared Shade. He seemed to see that among all the people here, the young man was the weakest.
"He asked for it! Good opportunity, Detective!"
"Silver Moon!"
The ultimate silver light burst out from the fingertips, sweeping across the room like an exploding sun. In that light, the black fog melted like ice touching the sun, and the piercing roar almost broke Shade's eardrums, but the ghost face still pounced on him with all its might.
Subconsciously, he wanted to use illusion to hide, but then he saw Miss Beatrice with her eyes closed rushing towards him at some point.
He raised his right fist high. Although the blazing golden light on his fist was completely suppressed by the silver moonlight, Xia De had no doubt about the power of this fist:
"Sun Fist!"
Miss Beas's fist pierced through the ghost face in front of Shad. At the same time, the group of blue butterflies thrown by Miss Annat also went through the hole opened by the fist and drilled into the ghost face.
A chilly wind blew out from the big hole in the ghost face, and if the wailing sound had not been eliminated by the talisman, it would have even spread throughout the entire block.
Xia De, who was standing in front of the ghost face, tightly grasped the luxurious necklace around his neck with his left hand, feeling the rising power. The light at his fingertips quickly weakened, but his entire palm was radiating.
He waved forward that brilliant light:
"Silver Moon Slash!"
It was as if all the light was compressed in this moonlight. The arc-shaped light blade left a shining afterimage in the space, directly splitting the ghost face entangled by the swarm of butterflies, and silently leaving a perfect arc-shaped mark on the opposite wall.
The black fog dissipated, the cold wind and the chilling whispers disappeared, and the light of the gas lamps enveloped the place again.
The blue butterflies flew back to the injured Miss Anat's hand and turned into the butterfly-shaped hair ornament. The scarred man's chopped body appeared in the dissipating ghost face and fell at Shade's feet.
Xia De breathed deeply and calculated the time. From the time the door was opened to the end of the battle, it was only half a minute.
