Mikael was walking in the dense forest. The thick and moist mist obscured his sight, making it difficult to see the surrounding scene clearly. A heavy and cold atmosphere permeated the entire forest. Apart from the faint sound of gurgling water, there was only one sound.
What's left is the crisp snapping sound of shoes breaking dead branches.
His blue eyes exuded magical light, and coupled with the Dead Apostle's excellent night vision ability, at least these ordinary fogs could not block his sight.
In his field of vision, there were two humanoid lifeless fluctuations not far away. The response of magic power could only be regarded as average. They should be existences like golems, responsible for driving away magicians who entered the forest.
Mikael's figure suddenly became hazy, as if blending into the surrounding darkness, and then quickly shuttled through the forest, heading in the direction of the two demon dolls.

【Encountering the first dangerous creature.】
[Self-discipline circuit is turned on.]
[The measurement circuit is changed to the main power supply.]
The moment Mikael was discovered, the two slit man puppets went to work as set in advance. The specialized offensive slit man puppet with arms that looked like cutters rushed up to meet Mikael, while the other
Ju fled as soon as the battle started.
It is its mission to record the opponent's information and complete the report. When an accident occurs, one person stays behind to fight the enemy, while the other retreats and reports to the employer. This is originally their tactic.
The alien feet left a series of bird-claw-shaped footprints on the damp forest floor. The magic-specialized legs were enough for it to throw off all enemies and run faster than the howling cold wind.
"Do all dolls nowadays have such high intelligence?"
Looking at another slit male puppet that quickly left the battlefield, Mikael's body surface lit up with a blue light, magic power gathered at the soles of his feet, and then sprayed out.
boom--
A half-meter-deep pit exploded in the forest under his feet. In the wet soil that was thrown away, Mikael's body shot out with electricity. A blue sound cone appeared behind him, and a roaring air explosion broke through the forest.
The tranquility startled countless birds.
The slit man puppet who wanted to restrain him was left far behind him. Mikael stretched out his palm and projected a red cross sword.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if estimating the distance, and then threw the cross sword in his hand fiercely.
The red sword blade drew a beautiful rainbow in mid-air, igniting the gloomy night, and then nailed the escaping cracked male puppet to the ground. Milky white flames ignited on the sword body, and the nailed cracked male puppet instantly
It turned into ashes.
Mikael slowly walked to the still-warm wreckage and pulled out the cross sword. Milky white flames swayed on the sword's blade, causing the surrounding temperature to rise a lot.
"You're next."
He casually held up his sword and pointed at the offensive slit male puppet who had just caught up behind him.
Seeing his companion holding the warm ashes, the aura of the offensive slit male puppet changed violently, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
If it just has a powerful familiar, weird attack methods, and outstanding magic power...it wouldn't be surprising, because its employer is also this kind of person, but the monster in front of it is far beyond the scope of human beings.
This is an inhuman thing——
This is not a monster it can deal with. If it insists on fighting, it will just follow the footsteps of another doll, but the program settings make it have to stand here.
But even if you plan to leave, the other party won't let it go, right?
The offensive rip man groaned in pain. The blade-shaped arms that could cut through steel could not bring him the slightest sense of security. In this case, he could only choose to fight to the death.
Fortunately, he still has a trump card, which is an artificial magic eye, which can be used to block myocardial infarction. If he can get close to this monster...
Suddenly, its thoughts stopped as time passed. It seemed that a short moment had passed, and a long hundred years had passed. The feeling of time dislocation made it almost go crazy.
When he regained his senses again, the monster had disappeared from in front of him. After carefully looking around, the man with the cracked mouth took a deep breath, feeling very grateful for his survival.
It wanted to take a step and leave, but unexpectedly it couldn't control its limbs. The joints of the body were disconnected silently, and the cross-section was as smooth as a mirror. Together with the magic circuit, it can be seen how sharp the cutting mechanism is.
The broken body fell along the cross section, and milky white flames licked its surface, gradually covering the entire doll.
Without struggling or wailing, this cracked male doll, like its companions, also turned into ashes exuding residual warmth in the dense forest.
"Peeping in secret is very rude behavior."
The air became distorted, and together with the cold moonlight, Mikael's body gradually became clear from haziness. He looked in front of him, his blue eyes became brighter and brighter, reflecting the swaying flames.
"No need to be polite to intruders."
Rustling footsteps sounded, and a slender black shadow passed through the darkness behind him, like a small boat sailing on the sea of fog. The footsteps were light and steady, and there was no doubt that the owner of the spiritual vein had appeared in person.
Her cold eyes were neither happy nor worried, and Kuonji Yuju would never show mercy to intruders.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you so late at night, but I still have a gracious favor."
Mikael bowed slightly and gently touched his chest with his right hand, "I hope you can transfer the control of the spiritual veins to me."
Kuonji Yuju raised her eyebrows slightly. To be honest, she had expelled many magicians who coveted Misaki City's spiritual veins, but this was the first one who was so straightforward and arrogant.
It’s useless to say more, it’s a sword fight! Two dice appeared in her hand, and then she rolled a six at the same time.
Two black-and-white things appeared in front of Kuonji Yuju. They had a chubby figure and looked not intimidating, but rather like a girl's doll.
"Half a catty."
The girl calmly called their names.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it."
"I can finally come out and walk around."
The pink piglets look like lively footballs. They are jumping through the forest and approaching Mikael quickly.
Not only that, she took out a glazed cat pendant from her arms. It looked gloomier than the night, with an ominous red light shining in one eye.
"The feast of the night (diddle dididdle)."
The pendant slipped from Yuju Kuonji's hand, not as a discard, but as a ritual initiated by some kind of magic.
The glass cat seeped into the damp woodland beneath her feet like liquid, and unknown fluctuations spread out in all directions with her as the center, rapidly radiating to the entire forest. Everything here became a world of night, dominated by her.
"If you are a bad visitor, then just stay."
Kuonji Yuju's tone did not change at all, and she calmly announced the fate of Mikael, the intruder.
