Ice-cold fog shrouded the lake, and Shade, who continued to move forward, suddenly asked in his heart.
[Yes, they have thrown the rope at you the first two times.]
At this time, Shade had already seen the scene of Mo Lake on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake in the fog, but the witches did not throw the rope that led him to the island. The group of red butterflies that reflected the white fog into red continued to move forward.
, Shade didn’t even see the light of the campfire:
"Am I going in the wrong direction this time to land on the island?"
But [The Father of the Infinite Tree] always makes him appear in the same place every time, and there should be no exception this time.
The butterfly transformed into Shade again on the lake. Before those dots of red light disappeared, Shade squinted his eyes and looked at the edge of the island not far away. He could see the scenery of the edge of the island in the middle of the lake when he looked at the lake.
I saw extinguished bonfires and campsites surrounded by simple fences, as well as tents and living supplies.
When he finally broke through the fog on the lake and landed on the island, Shade finally confirmed that there was no witch in the camp and they were all gone.
The camp does not look like it has been abandoned for a long time. It is not completely integrated with the scenery of the island in the middle of the lake. There are obvious traces of human life. When Shade stretched out his hand to the charcoal in the campfire, he was frozen and stiff.
You can even feel the temperature with your hands. However, the bonfire itself is not a normal flame, so it is impossible to judge the time when Miss Violet and her group left from the temperature.
"Are the six maids, the Witch Emperor, and the prospective graduates of Serkses Medical College not here?"
This island is not completely safe. The first time Shade came, he and the eight witches encountered a big guy falling from the sky. The second time, he heard that the witches and their group encountered wildly growing plants. Therefore, they found out that they were not there at this time.
, Xia De was not particularly surprised, but he just hoped that all these ladies would be safe.
He warmed up for a while with the warmth of the campfire, and then searched the camp to find out if the witches had left any clues before they left. Just as Shade thought, Miss Violet expected that he might return at any time, so she left a message for him.
He wrote a piece of paper and pressed it with a gold brick in the tent.
As for why Miss Violet had a gold brick in her luggage when she traveled, this is not something that Shade can understand.
【Try not to leave the camp, we will come back.】
It did not indicate what danger they encountered or where they went. Shade had seen their handwriting in the witch's papers, so he could confirm that it was indeed written by Miss Violet. Those letters were very
It was scrawled, and the group of eight people must have been in a hurry when they left.
Combined with the inspection outside, it was found that they did not take away too many living supplies. It was a very unexpected accident to evacuate the camp.
"But I don't have time to wait. Half an hour will be over in the blink of an eye."
Shade put away the note, bent out of the tent, and then looked at the island shrouded in white mist. The last time he came here, there were some hard thorn bushes on the island. This time, nothing seemed to have changed, at least nothing near the camp.
No change.
"It's better to go find them."
Thinking in his mind, he pulled out the moonlight sword from the air with his right hand. The holy silver blade glowed hazy in the fog. Looking at the deserted camp again, Shade jumped over the simple fence.
【careful!】
As he landed, he thrust his sword into the ground beneath his feet:
"Seal of Heaton!"
The dazzling golden spherical shield bloomed in the mist, and the silent and invisible attack touched the shield, forming a ripple on the shield.
"Silver Moon!"
The moment the shield disappeared, the silver blade of light shot out towards the left front. The Silver Moon Slash obviously hit something in the air, and then "she" reminded Shade that the enemy had disappeared. But from beginning to end, Shade failed to look.
Find out what exactly attacked you.
"Invisible enemy?"
He walked through the mist and quickly walked towards the location where the "Silver Moon Slash" hit the enemy. He kicked the ground a few times but didn't touch anything. Then he bent down and tried to touch it with his hands, but still didn't touch anything.
thing.
"It's really weird. The enemy is a monster that cannot be seen or heard, leaves no trace when it attacks, and leaves no body behind after death? So, am I really not fighting an illusion?"
Shade thought silently in his heart, but "her" perception is not wrong. The enemy does have an entity, but it cannot be sensed by any means other than the sixth sense. Although this characteristic will make the battle very troublesome,
However, this monster's attack power and defense are not strong. As long as the opponent's position is determined, it can basically kill it with one hit.
"The Lost Lake area suppresses perception. I just came here from a normal environment. This suppression has little effect on me, but Miss Violet and the others have been living here for a long time."
The soil on the island in the middle of the Lost Lake was very soft, and the witches left very clear footprints on the ground when they left in a hurry. Shade then followed the footprints and walked towards the hazy island of fog, but the footprints were not continuous.
Sometimes they would suddenly disappear for a distance, but fortunately, the traces of the thorn bushes they broke through were obvious, so Shade didn't have to worry about getting lost in the fog, or being "atomized" due to long-term exposure to the fog.
The real danger is the invisible enemy. There are not many of them. Shade only encountered them four times during his next trip.
The counterattack process after encountering the enemy is also very simple. First, "she" senses the attack faster than Shade, then Shade stabs the sword into the ground under his feet and uses the "Seaton Seal", and finally attacks with Silver Moon in the gap after the attack.
The enemy is a complete counterattack process.
Even during the last attack, due to the timing of the rupture of the golden spherical shield of "Seaton's Seal", it happened to be the moment when the invisible attack touched the shield. The special effects of thaumaturgy were triggered, causing the broken shield to burst out to the surroundings.
Shooting golden light traces, the exploding stream of light directly killed the invisible enemy.
The opponent's defense was weaker than Shade thought.
He moved forward very quickly. On the seventh minute when Shade arrived at Lost Lake, he saw a shadowy figure in front of him. He continued to move forward along the footprints, and when he got closer, he discovered that it was Miss Theresa and the maid.
Five maids besides the chief.
They were not hallucinations. Six people stood in a circle among the thorns, looking in one direction. The first thing the witches saw was the glowing moonlight sword in Shade's hand, and then they saw Shade's figure walking in the fog.
.
In order to avoid being suspected, Shade waved the gold brick in his hand:
"it's me!"
He tried to lower his voice as much as possible to prevent disturbing other beings on the island. But the mist itself absorbed the sound. At this time, the witches could only see Shade opening his mouth. Fortunately, they recognized what Shade was holding.
Shade also couldn't hear the voices of the witches, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were very nervous. Miss Teresa was making warning gestures to him. Along the way, Shade's direct perception of the invisible monster was also
Rapidly strengthening, without "her" reminder at this time, Shade noticed that there were at least 6 invisible monsters patrolling nearby.
"Although we can't see them directly, why not use range attacks like Witch's Light to counterattack?"
Shade was very happy with what Miss Teresa and her group did, but at this moment it was too late to think about it. Probably because he took the initiative to make a sound, those invisible monsters gathered towards him.
"She" quickly informed Shade of the locations of all enemies, and combined with Shade's own direct perception, the locations of the six monsters immediately appeared clearly in his mind.
Those enemies whose specific appearance is unknown use some kind of materialized "meat arrows" to attack. Although the witches cannot know the location of every monster like Shade, they at least know that the attack has begun.
Miss Teresa knew how powerful the invisible attack was. She ignored the plan she had just made and anxiously wanted to give a warning, but at this time, the moonlight sword had been pierced under her feet, and a golden shield bloomed in the white mist.
The silent attack caused ripples on the shield. Shade, who was in the golden shield, hit the shield with the sixth attack. At the same time, the seal gesture of his left hand ended and the spell was canceled. The bursting gold stream followed the slight glass.
The shattering sound directly destroyed all the enemies.
The witches were not sure what the current situation was. Shade breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with his sword in hand:
"Long time no see, Miss Theresa. The enemy has been eliminated. Where is Your Majesty Violet and the head maid? What did you encounter?"
"Have all the 'Invisible Sons' been wiped out?"
The tenth-level witch asked carefully, and then added;
"Be careful and stand over quickly. They cannot be sensed by normal human senses, and only when their location is determined can the attack be effective. Otherwise, even if it happens to hit, they will not be destroyed."
"You can only fight back if you sense it?"
Now Shade knew why the witches didn't use range attacks.
"There are six in total, all destroyed."
Shade nodded firmly. Miss Theresa exchanged glances with the young maids wearing black and white maid skirts and black leather boots, and asked a little embarrassedly:
"Well isn't there only five?"
Although each of the six people has a higher level than Shade, they can't even compare to Shade when dealing with an enemy that requires high perception.
The attacks of monsters called "Invisible Sons" will cause the injured person's flesh to rot into pulp, which can be described as plasticine melting under extremely high temperatures. Although the six Miss Teresa were not directly hit by those attacks,
, but the youngest maid in the team accidentally scratched her arm.
After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, the girls gathered together to help her treat her. At this time, the upper arm, about the size of a palm, had turned into a shaking "meat jelly".
The appearance was very terrifying, and no treatment method could reverse the injury. In order to prevent the injury from spreading, the "meat jelly" was quickly completely dug out from the arm with a silver knife. The girl who drank the painkiller lay down
Cold sweat broke out on my companion's legs and forehead. Fortunately, after digging out the infected part, the spreading injury stopped immediately.
The piece of meat was burned directly, while the maids were casting spells to try to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. They had already consumed a lot in Lost Lake, so Shade took the initiative to help.
The water treated with "Full Food" was poured on the terrible wound. The [Gluttony] Spirit Rune swallowed the divinity of [Lord of Blood Feast] twice through Shade, which was stronger than most of his Spirit Runes.
It must be powerful. Those liquids that exude the ultimate blasphemous aura come into contact with the wound and have an effect almost immediately.
The missing flesh did not grow back immediately, but a layer of pink flesh film had already covered the wound. Seeing that Shade's magic was so effective, Miss Teresa immediately took out the pink bottle of magic potion she carried with her and poured it into the potion.
on the wound.
Sting~ After a burst of white smoke, the 19-year-old young girl almost scratched her companion's stockings due to severe pain.
Fortunately, after the white smoke disappeared, the arm returned to normal, but the skin at the location of the wound was a little pinker than the skin in other areas.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Shade staring at the maids' stockings, Miss Theresa smiled and said:
"This is a piece of clothing made of ice silk, which can only be made by the best female workers. It is very expensive, but it is very beautiful, has good elasticity and is very breathable. Only someone like Her Majesty Violet, I mean, is so comfortable.
Have you ever seen someone who is willing to give each of the maids a pair?"
Outsiders have seen fine stockings made with knitting machines in this world. They are a product of the steam revolution and mechanization. They are very popular among ladies. As a princess, Lesia and the civilian writer Dorothy have similar
The clothing is very elastic. It needs garters and rubber bands to prevent it from falling down. It is not particularly good in the eyes of outsiders.
But at this time, the maids were wearing clothes that were very similar to the fabrics in their hometown. This was the first time that Shade had seen it in this world. It seems that the technological level of the Sixth Age in 1853 was not as good as that of the Fifth Age.
