After entering the city gate control room with a strong smell of blood, Ariel noticed that she was still surrounded by light arrows.
It was even darker here than it looked from the outside, with a strange black-red thick fog filling the air, making it impossible to see the surroundings.
However, what is surprising is that.
In sharp contrast to the haziness in front of her, Ariel herself and Sarah beside her were not affected in any way and could still see each other clearly.
"Guiding light!"
Seeing this strange scene, Ariel drew a graceful arc with the staff in her slender hand, and immediately released several light balls for illumination in an attempt to disperse the fog.
However, as soon as the shining ball of light entered the fog, it immediately lost its luster and quickly dimmed.
"It's just a fog!"
Seeing that the lighting magic didn't work, Ariel raised the skyline of dawn and started singing at a high speed.
Not long after, the light at the top of the staff in Ariel's slender hand became more and more dazzling, and a stern drink burst out from her red lips: "The light of the sky!"
After Ariel finished speaking, the dawn skyline became brighter, like the rising sun, rapidly spreading dazzling golden rays towards the surrounding black and red fog.
But even with such a powerful attack, it was still like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing a single ripple in the thick fog.
"Your Highness, this seems to be a special magic barrier unique to vampires, called "The Sorrow of Blood Mist". It can absorb any magic light source and cannot be easily purified."
Sarah's starry eyes were full of solemnity, and she clenched the shining knight's sword in her hand.
After accepting the inheritance from successive kings of Loren, she, who was once just a mercenary, not only increased in strength, but also inherited a large amount of combat experience and knowledge passed down by her ancestors.
Among them is this vampire magic barrier called "Blood Mist of Sorrow".
"Targets who break into "Blood Mist of Sorrow" will have their vision and perception greatly restricted, and their invisibility and illusion spells will also become ineffective. However, the caster hiding in the dark will not be affected in any way and can be in the blood.
There is no obstruction in the fog, and the target can be attacked at will."
The expression on Sarah's fair face became more solemn. She held her sword to protect Ariel's side and frowned: "It seems that the other party has been planning this for a long time."
"No wonder we are the only two who can be seen so clearly in this thick bloody fog. We are like conspicuous targets."
Ariel clenched the staff in her hand, making the golden light arrows around her that were ready to go shine even brighter.
Although she was already in an extremely passive and dangerous situation, Princess Lengyan did not reveal a trace of timidity on her delicate cheeks. She just frowned and asked, "Then how can we crack it?"
However, before Sarah could reply, a cold and disembodied hoarse voice suddenly began to echo in the blood mist.
"The way to crack it is very simple, that is to kill you two little bugs who don't know how to live or die!"
Along with the hoarse sound filled with murderous intent, a "swish, swish, swish" sound broke through the air.
Countless blood-red energy arrows whizzed in from all directions and shot at Ariel and Sarah, who were extremely conspicuous in the blood mist.
The number of arrows this time was at least ten times that of before. It was like an overwhelming storm of blood and rain, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
"Arrow of Streaming Light!"
Ariel reacted extremely quickly, waving the dawn skyline with her delicate hand, causing the hundreds of light arrows surrounding her body to move towards the blood-red arrows like meteors with golden tails.
"Aurora Wall!"
Immediately afterwards, Ariel tapped the white fingertips of her other slender hand to draw several golden magic circles in mid-air.
The moment the golden magic circle was formed, it expanded rapidly, forming translucent walls of light, completely covering Ariel and Sarah inside.
In the turbulent midair, the golden light arrows successfully melted some of the blood-red arrows, making the dense blood-red arrows significantly sparser.
The other part of the blood-red arrows that were not counterattacked hit the wall of light unimpeded.
As soon as the blood-red arrows came into contact with the light barrier, it was like a chemical reaction, arousing waves of strong energy waves on the barrier.
Although the attacks of the blood-red arrows were extremely fierce, making the brilliance of the golden light of the protective wall even darker, in the end they were all blocked by the protective wall, and only Ariel's delicate, slightly pale face was reflected.
Facing the full attack of the fourth-level peak vampire powerhouse, Ariel's strength was only one-star level four.
However, fortunately, as a light magician, Ariel's attributes are inherently resistant to those with dark attributes, and coupled with the blessing of the fifth-level divine weapon Dawn Skyline, she is not at an absolute disadvantage.
"Oh? With the strength of a strong man who has just been promoted to the fourth level, he can actually block all the blood demon arrows that I cast with all my strength."
In the blood-red thick fog, a rickety black figure loomed, jokingly: "Light attribute spells, slightly curly long hair, a rare beauty... So, you are Leng Yan's fifth
Is she a princess?"
"As a princess of a noble country, she actually dares to go into dangerous situations personally. She is really brave."
At this point, the other party's hoarse voice suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "But unfortunately, you are going to die soon."
After hearing the other party's serious threat, Ariel did not reply, but sternly waved her staff with a sullen face, and a dazzling light pillar emitting a fierce aura immediately vibrated where the other party was.
Facing the light attribute attack that Ariel is good at, the opponent was not affected at all. Only a pair of blood-red eyes were still looming in the dazzling light pillar.
This undoubtedly shows that it is not the opponent's true body.
Just as Ariel cast the spell, a second thin black shadow exuding strength suddenly flew out of the blood mist and attacked Ariel's unsuspecting back.
Due to the opponent's extremely fast speed, as soon as he emerged from the fog, he was already approaching Ariel with a short blade in his hand.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Sarah swung the long sword in her hand and blocked Ariel's back. However, she discovered that the real target of the opponent's sword was actually to protect Ariel herself.
"Well!"
Following a sharp flash of blade light, Sarah was caught off guard. Although she successfully defended herself against the opponent's attack, she was still hit by a kick in the abdomen. She staggered back several steps before she could stop.
However, when Sarah stood firm and prepared to counterattack, her opponent had already escaped into the blood mist again and disappeared without a trace.
"Sarah, are you okay?"
Ariel immediately rushed to Sarah and raised the barrier of light again.
"It's okay, that guy just hit my armor."
Sarah smiled at Ariel and told the latter not to worry.
Although the second skinny black shadow did not break through the ancestral knight armor on Sarah's body, Sarah still felt as if she had been hit by a giant war hammer, and her abdomen began to lurch.
"This blood mist is really a hindrance, we must get rid of it first!"
Seeing that Sarah was fine, Ariel's nervous expression eased slightly and nodded to Sarah.
Sarah understood immediately, and while holding her sword to guard against possible attacks, she explained concisely and clearly.
"Your Highness, there is only one quickest way to get rid of this "Blood Mist Sorrow", and that is to find the blood eye in the blood mist. That is the formation eye of the "Blood Mist Sorrow"!"
When Sarah spoke here, her voice became more determined: "According to Hongshi, the space of this city gate control room is relatively limited, only a hundred square meters, and there are two smaller rooms connected to the left and right.
The Eye of Blood must be in one of the two small rooms!"
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, I would be so familiar with my special magic circle. You know, this is an ancient secret method that is rarely known to anyone."
The rickety black figure appeared and disappeared around Ariel and Sarah, and a slightly surprised joking sound was heard.
"So what if you know the location of the Eye of Blood? A hundred square meters of space is enough to become your tomb!"
After that, a group of shaky figures filled with murderous intent gradually became clear in the black mist. They were the Goblin soldiers who had been killed by their opponents.
"Those are low-level descendants summoned by vampires using the dead!"
Sarah looked at the pair of scarlet soulless eyes in the blood mist, frowned and said: "These low-level dependents have extremely strong self-healing ability, and their strength will make a qualitative leap in the blood mist. I am afraid they have all reached the level of self-healing."
Third level!"
"Then let these brave Goblin soldiers rest in peace, and their glory will continue."
The dawn skyline in Ariel's hand shone brightly, and she nodded heavily to Sarah: "You and I will split up and go to a room each to look for traces of the Eye of Blood, and destroy it as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Ariel understood clearly in her heart.
When the opponent has all the terrain advantages, it is not a wise decision to split up. After all, your own strength is limited and is far less powerful than the opponent.
But the lord is in danger, and he has no choice.
Although the road ahead is very dangerous, it is also the most efficient way to get rid of the "blood mist".
"But……"
Sarah's starry eyes flickered, looking at Ariel's thin body wearing only a robe, and she hesitated a little.
Ariel's strength is only level four and one star. Although the light attribute restrains the opponent's dark attribute, with the blessing of "Blood Mist Sorrow", the opponent can undoubtedly easily erase Ariel's attribute advantage.
Moreover, these are two peak fourth-level vampires who kill without blinking an eye. No matter which one they face, they are enough to give Ariel a hard time.
"Don't worry, I am Leng Yan's fifth princess. I have the blood of the King of Heroes, and I will never fall easily."
Ariel smiled, then frowned and said, "The Lord is still facing the attack of the orc army alone, and we don't have much time left."
After finishing her words, the pale golden wings on Ariel's back flapped, flew towards the left hand direction, and soon disappeared into the blood mist: "Everything is for the Lord!"
"Everything is for the Lord!"
Sarah's starry eyes were full of awe as she rushed straight to the right.
Facing the low-level family members blocking the way, Ariel's staff held a golden light in her slender hand, and her whole body shone brightly.
I saw that wherever Ariel went, the low-level family members who tried to rush up had thick smoke rising from their bodies, and soon they completely turned into nothingness.
As for Sarah on the other side, the ancestral knight sword in her hand had a remarkable killing effect on the summoned objects, and she rushed over like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Haha, the little princess actually acted alone and came to die herself."
I saw Ariel's slender figure getting closer and closer, and the murderous aura surged around the rickety black figure in the corner, and soon disappeared into the diffuse blood mist again.
"Humans, prepare to die."
Another skinny black figure was staring closely at Sarah, who was looking for the entrance to the room, with blood-red eyes and sharp fangs looming in the blood mist.
…
"That should be the entrance to the room!"
After a lot of effort, Ariel, who was surrounded by golden light arrows, finally saw a closed door in front of her.
Although the space in the city gate control room is relatively limited, the thick blood mist and the constant attack of low-level family members make it easy for people to lose their sense of direction and wander around.
Overjoyed, Ariel did not rush over immediately, but cautiously looked around and moved forward slowly.
First of all, Ariel could clearly see that the dark red magic stream on the door was flashing, and it was obvious that some kind of magic restriction had been imposed.
Secondly, since the door is close at hand, the other party must be prepared.
Sure enough, just after Ariel took a few steps, two blood-colored iron chains suddenly sprang out from the ground, and immediately imprisoned Ariel's white ankles.
Then, a strange black energy burst out from the iron chain, rising from the soles of Ariel's feet, causing all the dazzling light arrows around Ariel to shatter and turn into little energy particles.
"Hehehehe, no one can escape my bloody imprisonment, just let me taste the blood of a country's princess!"
Seeing Ariel struggling to escape, the rickety figure immediately shot out of the blood mist, its fangs flashing with cold light, and pointed directly at Ariel's exposed white neck.
In the blink of an eye, the rickety shadow rushed to Ariel, opened its mouth full of saliva and bit it.
However, what the rickety shadow didn't expect was that the Ariel in front of him did not have the delicate touch that humans should have, but was like chewing wax, unable to suck anything out.
"Oops, I got hit!"
The rickety shadow was shocked and immediately realized that this was obviously not the real Ariel.
"I'm here!"
Not far away, Ariel shouted coldly, and hundreds of golden light arrows immediately swept towards the rickety figure.
"Little tricks!"
Although he was caught off guard, the reaction of the rickety black shadow was extremely fast. In a flash, he disappeared into the blood mist again and disappeared completely.
While escaping into the mist, the shriveled and rickety shadow couldn't help but have his mind filled with questions and looked fiercely at Ariel's slender body.
Although I don’t know how this coveted little princess Leng Yan escaped from her shell, she must die next time!
