Raindrops and ice particles hit the glass, and the bursts of thunder can't help but scare people. There are no lights in the small tavern, and there is no heating this season. The voices of men and women are mixed with the complicated night background.
It was very soft and gentle, and Bella Belindel also thought it was very warm.
"It's almost time, let's set off towards the shore."
Looking outside, Shade said. The witch nodded and put away the cards on the table:
"I'm also very curious about what will happen tonight. No matter how confident the Dragon Feast Order is, it shouldn't have such a head-on conflict with the church, right?"
"If they really match what I'm looking for, then it's worth the price."
He said, this time the blonde witch did not ask Shade what he was looking for, but grabbed his hand after the two left the tavern side by side.
For a moment, it was like cold water brushed over the skin, and then the clothes wetted by the rain quickly evaporated. The rain no longer corroded the clothes, and the two figures seemed to melt into the night.
"The Illusion Body Curse was originally a spell to avoid flames and poisonous fog environments. It is suitable for avoiding rain. Although I am not as good at frontal combat as they are, I have a lot of auxiliary abilities."
She still said to Shade with a smile in the dark night, her smile was very bright.
The atmosphere was just right. The two of them were about to head closer to the coast side by side. On the other side of the street, two other figures braving the rain suddenly appeared. They were not ordinary people. They were also wearing cloaks and masks. The rain fell from the two people.
The top of his head slid sideways as if he encountered a sloping slope. This was also a miraculous trick to avoid rain.
"Not a church person."
The blonde countess said, then she stepped in front of Shade and stood in front of him, holding an amethyst pendant in her hand:
"What are you doing here?"
Because of the "Illusion Curse", the two strangers did not notice them just now. After the witch spoke, she realized that there were two people standing here. When she saw the amethyst pendant that glowed in the night rain, she recognized it again.
Who is in front of you:
"Lady Amethyst!"
The Witch has a very good reputation among local ring magicians.
"We heard rumors that the church and the [Dragon Feast Order] were going to fight in the dock area, so we wanted to come and see the situation. After all, the prophecy about the destruction of the dragon and the city is now that most people are in the nearby neighborhoods. The church's defense is very effective.
We originally wanted to find a place with a better view.”
They stopped talking and watched the lady carrying the pendant disappear into the rain.
Just as they said, the church's defense is not only aimed at the coast, but also to prevent problems in the city after manpower is transferred to the dock. But even so, Shade and Miss Belindel did not encounter any problems when entering the dock from the city direction.
There were too many difficulties. The witch was right. She was indeed not good at fighting, but in terms of detecting traps, deciphering rituals, finding roads, and sneaking and hiding, she was far better than Shade after cooperating with divination.
Starting from the deserted tavern just now, Shade only needs to follow the witch holding his hand and watch her move forward. When he encounters an intersection, he flips a coin to decide the direction. If he senses something is wrong with his keen sixth sense, he uses his pendulum.
Divination was used to determine whether there were traces of magical rituals nearby. If they did not encounter the church's ring warlock team on the way, the witch had predicted in advance which path to take to avoid unnecessary trouble.
If the dock area tonight is compared to a huge maze full of traps, then Bella Belindel is almost equivalent to an all-powerful maze breaker, even more powerful than the [Source of Chaos] currently on her shoulders.
Therefore, when they arrived at the alleyway, which was only one block away from the coast, Shade basically did nothing except walking, which was a waste of energy.
The witch led him into the alley. Through the alley, he could see the coast and the pier. Shade originally wanted to praise Miss Belindle, but a roar from the distance completely blocked his voice.
Suppressed.
"Roar!"
The sound was louder than the thunder that exploded in the air the next second. Even in the rain, Shade vaguely heard the sound of shattering glass on the street not far away. Even if he hadn't seen the source of the roar, it was so shocking that
The almost breathless sense of pressure already explained what the roar belonged to. What was even more obvious was that the long sword with dragon scale patterns on Shade's back trembled amidst the roar.
In the night rain mixed with more snowflakes and ice particles, several figures flew high into the sky to prepare to meet the enemy. Although the distance was far away, Shade was sure that the thirteen-ring warlock was not among them. The heavy rain made the surrounding people
Everything is becoming blurry, but the streaks of light bursting out from the night sky are still clear.
The church had prepared for so long in advance and of course did not let the battle break out above the pier, so what Shade and Miss Belindel saw at this time was only the aftermath.
Both of them quickened their pace. Even if there was no harvest tonight, confirming the outcome of this battle would be beneficial for subsequent actions.
It's just that the two of them couldn't walk through the alley safely after all. In the dark night of heavy rain, the black color was as thick as ink. Therefore, when the man in the black cloak hurried towards the two of them, even with the powerful sense of Sha De,
I couldn't find him early either.
The stranger has a thin figure and walks very fast. The black hood covers the upper half of his face. He walks as if he is floating without making any sound. Because he has met the stranger just now, and he knows that he is here to watch the "fun" tonight.
It was definitely not just the two of them, so Shade was not surprised to meet someone here.
He just looked at the witch on the side with confusion, wondering if she didn't expect there was someone in the alley.
But after the stranger noticed them, he didn't stop to change the way. Instead, he rushed over faster. The blonde witch raised her hand to make a warning gesture, and then Shade stepped in front of her and stopped her with his right hand.
He touched the two swords carried on his back.
Her heart warmed, and she saw the stranger rushing over as if gliding on the ground, and suddenly turned into a blood mist in the torrential rain. Accompanied by another soul-stirring roar that was very similar to a dragon's roar, the blood mist even made people feel sad.
The rain and snow falling in the sky turned into toxins. The surrounding ground and walls suddenly melted in the toxins like paper, but Shade, who was facing the monstrous blood mist, did not retreat at all:
"You dare to stop me at this time?"
The dragon scale sword was pulled out of the sheath by the spell, and was drawn out by Sha De at just the right angle. The brilliant blood moonlight fell with the sword mark, and the sweeping blood mist actually followed the red blood sword mark and rolled back towards it.
original place.
The figure in the black cloak vaguely reappeared in the blood mist, and then the second bright yellow sword mark had already fallen.
"Roar~"
On the surface of the human figure's skin that was vaguely visible in the blood mist, scales emerged and he withstood the sword. Then his alienated claws grabbed the piece of ice thrown by Shade in the blood mist:
"Passionate Ice!"
The ice cube exploded, but the power was not as powerful as that sword. But before the evaporated clouds and dust fell, and even the moonlight of the sword marks left on the ground had not been extinguished, three sword lights that were exactly the same as before appeared at the same time.
The noise caused by the sword light at the pier disturbed the ring magicians on the shore. In the alley, when the sword light disappeared, not only were the clothes torn by the explosion, but also the black cloaked figure with scales and bat wings was exposed, and even Shade stopped him.
Miss Belindel behind her gave a slightly incredulous look.
Click~
Thunder flashed, and white light illuminated the small mark on the alienated claws of the stranger:
"Black Moon Talisman!"
"How dare you catch my sword?"
Shade's voice came in the wind, and at the same time, the claws with the talisman turned into white ash and scattered in the rain, and then the stranger's entire arm was scattered into white ash. But before the body disintegrated, the stranger's
The body once again exploded into a ball of blood mist, and then flew straight into the sky.
The church's magicians had already noticed this, and Shade and Miss Belindel did not dare to stay for long. The witch held Shade's hand again, and while releasing the illusion, she quickly selected a direction to lead him away, but Shade was still puzzled:
"How is it possible? Once it is selected by the Black Moon Talisman, even if it abandons part of its body, the conceptual annihilation will not cut it off. That thing actually has the resistance to 'instant death' and 'annihilation'?"
"It has dragon scales on its body, and it looks like a vampire. Only God knows what it is."
The blonde witch holding Shade's hand and running through the rainy night said, and then looked at Shade's side face:
"The one you just used is really the Black Moon Talisman?"
"Yes."
"Where on earth did Vanessa find you?"
"This is not the first time you have asked this question."
They stopped together, holding their left hands with their right hands, holding their breath and standing against the wall. They waited until the three people who were running in a hurry passed by before turning into another alley aside:
"I just feel that the more I get to know you, the more magical you become. [Black Moon Talisman] is a thaumaturgy of conceptual annihilation. The most complete ritual record should be in the St. Byrons Library, although it is not
Unless you learned it from a source I don’t know about, you actually came from St. Byron’s Comprehensive College?”
She asked carefully, holding hands and walking side by side with Shade. Shade thought for a moment that today was Sunday, then turned around and answered with a smile:
"Yes, that Red Moon Witch Daniste was giving me lessons alone two days ago."
The witch only thought he was joking.
As for the strange thing that just attacked the two of them, Shade certainly had some guesses about its identity. The "vampire monster" that attacked the citizens in the city at night recently has not been caught by the church yet. It certainly has a strong ability to escape.
Surprising.
It's just that Shade has other important matters tonight, so the guy who escaped can find a way to arrest him later;
"Tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow is probably suitable. Is that thing a monster mixed with a dragon and a vampire?"
The battle between the two sides just now attracted the attention of the church ring magicians, but thanks to the assistance of Miss Belindel, they easily left the encirclement. When the two of them braved the rain and lightning and thunder, they finally arrived at the dock.
By the time we got there, it was already eight o'clock that night.
The sea water rolled up waves, and the strong wind kept beating the shore. The ships moored in the port swayed from side to side, as if they were about to wash ashore with the waves in the next second.
The magical ritual that symbolized the elements of miracles was resisting something that Shade could not see clearly for the time being on the trestle, and higher up in the night sky, three giant dragons spraying dragon breath were like black spots, fighting against dozens of ring figures.
