Chapter 594 Busy Night in Ishruna in the Painted World
The scream was very short, disappearing in less than a second, and then returned to the silence of the night.
But this still attracted Gray's attention. She walked to the window and looked outside again with the help of the gap between the wooden boards.
However, even if he used magic power to enhance his vision, he still found nothing under the deep night. The overwhelming night and wind and snow obscured his vision, making it impossible to see farther away.
"I'll go out and take a look."
The feeling of impending crisis in Gray's heart was getting closer and closer. That scream was a signal that the crisis was coming. If she stayed here, she might be in danger.
"I will go with you."
Olga Marie also stood up without hesitation. If there was any danger, the two of them would be able to deal with it.
Gray nodded, and after the two made brief preparations, they opened the door to the room and walked out.
The wind and snow at night were still biting, but even with the warmth provided by the ember stone, the feeling of the cold wind blowing on the face was like a sharp knife cutting the skin. It was impossible to resist it without using magic.
The entire Eros was shrouded in darkness, and every house was dark. Only faint wisps of light could be seen, but they were quickly submerged in the deep darkness.
The screams were probably coming from the north. Gray jumped to the top of the house and looked in that direction.
The old man's house is considered to be one of the higher ones in the entire Elus. If you stand on the roof, you can almost have a panoramic view of most of Elus.
Olga Marie's eyes were filled with azure magic light, and more complex magic formulas could be seen flowing in them.
Unlike Gray, she did not use simple visual enhancement, but a magic similar to [clairvoyance]. The wind and snow could not block her sight, so she quickly found the target.
A few blocks away from them, a person fell to the ground. Most of his body was cut open, and blood and internal organs were scattered on the ground. Although his arms were still shaking slightly, it was obvious that the whole person had lost the breath of life.
.
The murderer who killed him was a warrior whose whole body was covered in heavy black armor. He seemed to be much taller than an ordinary person, with a slightly stooped figure and a bloody alien blade in his hand.
As if he was aware that someone was observing him, the dark warrior turned his head and looked in the direction of Olga Marie and Gray, and a red light seemed to emerge from the dark eye holes under the visor.
"That's... a night wandering ghost——?!"
Gale, who was drowsy at the side, suddenly let out a piercing scream, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
"Why do night wandering ghosts come to us? What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do...!! (◎_◎;)"
He read intermittently and flapped the pages of the book uneasily, making the whole book look like ants on a hot pot.
"Night wandering ghost..."
Gray felt that this title sounded familiar, as if she had heard Gale mention it before. After briefly recalling it, she remembered the content about the Night Walker.
"Those are the soldiers who are responsible for extinguishing the flames? But there are no flames here. Why do we attract night ghosts..."
But as she spoke, her voice became softer.
She did use magic to summon a flame, but it was a long time ago, and the flame was quickly extinguished by Gale.
Could it be that that time...
But forget about that for now, it is obvious that the target of the night wandering ghost is them, and we can only deal with him here.
The Night Walker walked slowly towards their direction. Some people seemed to have noticed the screams outside, but no one dared to open the door and go outside. Even if they peeked through the crack in the window, there were only a few people outside.
.
In today's Elus, if you want to live, you must learn to suppress your curiosity, so that you can live smoothly.
Under such extreme cold, the person who was killed quickly turned into an ice sculpture, but the Night Walker seemed not to be affected by the wind and snow, and his whole person seemed to blend into the snow.
He seemed to be walking very slowly, but in fact he was not that slow. In a few blinks of an eye, he crossed several streets and was only a dozen meters away from Gray and Olga Marie.
At this time, he suddenly stopped and waved his left hand.
An undetectable sound broke through the air, but it was immediately drowned in the shrill sound of wind and snow. Before Gray could react, the self-discipline defense barrier on her body suddenly opened, covering three thin and almost transparent ice layers.
The blade blocked it.
Click——
The ice blades hit the surface of the defensive barrier, and the huge impact caused them to shatter quickly.
"Is this...magic?"
Only then did Gray realize. No one had thought that a night wanderer who looked like a warrior could actually use magic, a sneak attack type.
If there was no self-discipline defense barrier, I'm afraid she would really be injured by these three ice blades.
Seeing that his sneak attack was not effective, Night Walker didn't react at all. After all, it was really difficult to see any changes in expression from a steel mask that covered almost the entire face.
But then the vacuum air blade flew out horizontally, cutting the wind and snow in the sky into two pieces, flying menacingly in his direction, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The night wandering ghost didn't seem to put this air blade in his eyes at all. He just waved the alien blade in his hand casually, and the air blade was chopped into pieces and dissipated.
Olga Marie pursed her lips, and the attack she had concentrated her magic power on was easily deflected by the dark guy.
Just looking at Night Walker's performance, there is no doubt that this guy is a formidable opponent.
She looked around, and then frowned slightly. She did control large-scale magic rituals, but launching these magic rituals all required time and a wide space. If the magic ritual was launched here, there would be no doubt that
, several nearby streets will be affected.
Although she didn't care about the life or death of other people, it would be bad if the old man was involved. After all, he helped her and Gray.
The most urgent task now is to find a place where the night wandering ghost can be fought.
Thinking of this, Olga Marie couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment in her heart.
If it weren't for the inability to open his imaginary number pocket, it wouldn't take so much effort to deal with that big black guy. With his massive magic gifts, he could be easily and happily dealt with.
