A swampland where life and death coexist.
The rays of light in the sky are obscured by the towering tree crowns.
This caused the plants on the ground to evolve into a dark green color that tends to be black in order to obtain enough light cover.
This must be the Necromancer's favorite environment.
It is dark, humid, and full of vitality because of the lush plants.
In the middle of this swamp.
There is an inconspicuous towering tree.
This tree, like other trees, has a thick trunk of tens of meters.
The root system is extremely developed, and even the exposed roots are as big as a door.
But I don't know why.
The roots on the surface happened to bypass a circular area.
only some
In the center of the area, there is a spherical plant body woven and twisted by climbing plants.
Such an almost silent scene, at a certain moment.
Suddenly it was broken...
Buzz——
Faintly, the sound of mechanical operation sounded here.
Although very quiet, these plants absorb sound very well, so it is difficult to identify the direction.
After careful identification, I discovered that it was a dark green sphere in the field.
Accompanied by sound.
The plant vines outside this spherical object began to twist and expand irregularly.
From the gaps, there were faint white rays of light coming out.
Just when there were more and more beams of light, it seemed like the vines were about to burst.
All movement stopped abruptly.
If the original compact sphere hadn't become loose.
As if nothing happened.
A while passed.
It's so abrupt.
The entire sphere made of vines exploded.
burst out at the same time.
There are also broken machine parts carved with magic patterns and delicate parts glowing with light.
In the center is a rapidly shrinking ball of light.
When this ball of light shrinks to the size of a person.
Xifa staggered out of it.
There is no longer the feeling of Alice protecting herself from the disharmony of her limbs caused by space distortion.
Coupled with the hasty step into the portal.
The staggering Xifa's expression darkened involuntarily.
After stepping off the teleportation platform and arriving at the swamp ground.
Xifa could no longer maintain his balance on the soft and slippery ground.
He fell heavily to the ground, drawing a regular trajectory under the inertia.
Mud splashes.
Mud and algae quickly infected Xifa.
Until he hit the thick roots of a tree exposed on the ground.
After a muffled sound.
Only then did Xifa stop.
"Cough cough - bah bah -"
Xifa coughed heavily and spit out the mud in his mouth.
Before his breathing could calm down, he raised his hand.
You can see that the card in your hand is no different from when you first got it.
Xifa finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Put your hand with the card on your chest.
Xifa adjusted his body while reviewing what had just happened.
In the quiet, dark swamp, only the sound of Xifa's breathing could be heard here.
Suddenly, Xifa stood up.
Burst out your own fire-attribute magic power.
There are no skills, it’s all about working hard to achieve miracles.
The mud all over Xifa's body spread out in all directions under the influence of magic.
"Alice! Can you hear me?"
Xifa raised his hand and whispered to the card.
Alice's voice did not ring.
Xifa couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After a long time, the card flashed slightly, and Xifa felt happy in her heart.
At the same time, he was completely relieved.
"Where am I now? Which direction are we going?"
But this time, after waiting for a long time, the card did not respond.
Xifa tentatively touched the crystal button in the center of the card.
The guiding light strip that once existed did not appear.
what happened?
Xifa was a little panicked.
It's not that I feel helpless in a place where I don't know anything, but I'm worried that something will go wrong with Alice.
"calm down..."
Force yourself to calm down inside.
Xifa looked around roughly.
Walk towards a thick and relatively clean tree root.
Sitting on it, Xifa turned over the past study cards.
Finally, he thought of a possibility.
That was because he had just used a large amount of magic power to wash away the mud and water on his body.
Maybe at that time, the card intercepted part of his magic power.
This gave Alice the ability to respond to herself.
Thinking of this, Xifa carefully stretched out a finger.
Condensate a small amount of magic power and tap it lightly on the card.
He realized that the card was willing to accept his fire-attribute magic power, and he vaguely wanted to increase the dose.
Xifa smiled slightly and put the card on his hand.
Increase the magic power release speed little by little until the card uses its maximum absorption capacity.

"We were lied to..."
"The guardians of order cannot take action against us!"
Xifa said with a wry smile.
Now Xifa is not talking to himself in the air.
Beside him, there was a palm-sized, translucent figure-like figure.
When I looked closer, I found that the little red figure looked exactly like Alice.
"But there is another possibility. The guardian of order really wants to take action against us!"
The figure cannot move or speak.
But the villains around Xifa can.
Even the body made of tiny magic power does not affect Alice's original sweet voice at all.
Alice pondered for a moment and gave a somewhat uncertain answer.
"Why do you say that?"
Xifa listened to Alice's reasons. After all, looking at that posture, the guardian of order really just drove away the two of them.
"I'm not sure, because this is not where I want to take you."
"However, I have never used all my strength to go back in time so hastily."
"I don't know if I made a mistake in my panic, which caused some deviation in our transmission."
Xifa didn't notice Alice's expression, he said jokingly.
"How biased can you be, with some unreliable big black dog?"
Dog, what big black dog?
Alice was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xifa was talking about.
"Nothing...how far are we from our destination?"
…
"It's impossible to estimate. If I'm not mistaken."
"This is the Chaos Swamp, the buffer zone between the Dragon Kingdom and Chaos."
"Probably, the place where your friend Newt came in is closer to the Dragon Temple than us."
Hearing this, Xifa's eyes widened.
This feeling is like being at the gate of Hogwarts and suddenly arriving at the British border.
"But it doesn't matter. This is a lawless zone. If we use time retrieval here, the guardian of order cannot detect us. I remember that there is a teleportation array deep in the depths. We can set off!"
"Time is of the essence, and it's dangerous here. We can discuss the remaining issues while we're on the road."
"By the way! Xifa, I want to tell you one more thing..."
"If you feel the space is sticky or otherwise strange, remember to give me your magic power and I will help you open the barrier of order."
"Only by fixing chaos with order can you resist or kill those creatures of chaos."
