The surrounding scenery has not changed much from before, and it is still in the middle of the road with forests on both sides.
The only thing that is different from before is that there are no traces of the friendly troops, and only myself is left here.
Pulling the reins, I can still feel the hypothermia of the earth dragon through the dragon saddle, which means that this mutation cannot isolate the beings in contact with it.
"Is it space transfer? Or... hallucination"
Dilong raised his head in confusion and looked at Yuexing sitting on his back, his eyes revealing his confusion about the surroundings.
"It's not about individuals, it's about everyone being affected..."
Climbing down the back of the earth dragon, Yuexing approached the flowers blooming on both sides of the road.
The flowers whose petals sway slightly in the wind are very similar to the pansies in the original world.
Yuexing crouched down and was about to break the flower that created the illusion, but suddenly he drew out his sword
——The flower vines wrapped around the roots of the flowers suddenly pulled out and hit Yuexing's neck like a whip.
White light flashed, and the long sword slashed at the speeding flower vines. There was a steel-like impact on the sword.
Following the blow of the flower vine, he jumped back to Earth Dragon. Earth Dragon stood quietly beside Yuexing, calmly looking at the scene in front of him, as if nothing happened.
The flower vine kept waving in place, but never attacked the man and the dragon standing in the middle of the road.
"If there is a range...wind blade!"
A cyan arc of light formed in the air and shot towards the base of the flower - where the flower vine appears.
The flowers were cut flatly, and the flower vines lay on the ground
My vision blurred for a while, and a convoy of dragon chariots appeared in front of me. Everyone stood quietly in place.
A feeling of dizziness spread, and the motorcade in front of me disappeared again.
There are still empty streets and flowers on both sides of the road
"Again... pulled back again..."
Yuexing scratched her head anxiously. If this continues, she will be trapped in this recurring fantasy.
The silver bracelet on her wrist and the pendant hanging on it were swaying in the air, with two small words engraved on it.
"As for illusion spells, I remember there is a counterattack spell...ah, I found it."
The pendant began to emit a red light, and a small flame flew towards the flowers on the roadside.
The flower vines at the base of the flowers were pulled out, whipping towards the flames flying in the air.
The moment the flower vines came into contact with the light of fire, they began to burn violently.
In an instant, the petals, flowers, vines and roots were all submerged in the red flames and burned to ashes.
The sweet floral fragrance was replaced by the burnt smell, and then the world changed again
The members of the surrounding expedition team stood dumbfounded.
All the members of the expedition team, whether they were humans or mounted animals, were all standing still in place, motionless.
"Yuexing, are you okay?" Subaru's voice came from beside him.
"I thought you needed help, but I didn't expect you had already solved it yourself." Julius looked at the moon and stars, with the red elf on his shoulders.
"I'm fine, what's wrong with the others?"
"This was a deliberate attack. It used illusion spells to cause people to lose consciousness for several seconds. Now only the three of you and I have recovered."
"How many seconds? I feel like several minutes have passed there? Is it because it's just a fantasy?"
"I didn't expect you to be resistant to this kind of magic. How did you recover?"
"Well, has everyone been tricked? If you are delayed here for a few seconds or even minutes like this, it is not a good thing. You must do something!"
"So I'm asking you how you recovered!"
Julius became angry at this situation where they were asking each other questions in a manner that was almost like a conversation, but they couldn't figure out any facts.
"Flowers, if you can destroy the flowers in the illusion, you can break free," Yuexing said
"Flowers, flowers, that's it, using the scent of flowers as a medium to cast a hint of magic, - but"
Julius looked around at his companions who were deep in the technique, and slowly stretched out an arm.
Then, Julius stretched his arm in the horizontal direction, and several rays of light appeared from it. There were six kinds of colorful rays, and the red light that saved Subaru's life was also present among them.
"You! This is...!"
"This is the brilliance of my buds. Now I want to convey the method of breaking the illusion to everyone - Yin, Nes!"
Julius responded to Subaru's words, who reacted violently. He spread out his outstretched hand, and the light that slid towards his fingertips was of two colors: black and white. The two lights were mixed together, and the light increased dramatically. Subaru stared at it dumbfounded.
The world in front of you is shrouded in light
"Fa, it happened..."
Before Subaru finished speaking, a voice sounded in Yuexing's mind.
"Um——! Wait a minute——! Wait a minute——! There's no one there! Where is this——!"
"What is this sound?"
The voice of the girl who failed to understand the situation and was still confused—no, strictly speaking, it was not a voice.
The silent emotions did not pass through the eardrums, but echoed directly in the brain, conveying her thoughts to Yuexing, and more than one thought was conveyed in this way.
"They got separated... No, they were isolated. Oops, if this continues"
"Oops, this is terrible. No matter how much we destroy the forest, nothing happens."
"Such a trick at this time...! Crusch-sama...!"
"Sister! Sister! Where are you!?"
"Tibby might cry!"
The emotions of everyone kept ringing in my mind, pressing against my head
"I feel like a group of people are shouting in my ears," Yuexing said, holding her forehead.
Next to him, Subaru groaned in pain.
"Ah? Sorry, take a deep breath and be patient," Julius's voice came.
"You bastard……"
"Now I don't have time to adjust the wavelength just for you. Bringing everyone back to consciousness is the top priority."
After saying that, Julius closed his eyes and concentrated on the technique, no longer moving.
After listening, Yuexing sat down on the ground to meditate randomly, focusing on sorting out the messy emotions in his mind.
Subaru roughly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked up at the sky and panted.
…
"Damn it! Wait, who will do what you want...!?"
"cut----!"
The consciousness was brought back to reality, and the silver sword light came through the air and slashed behind him.
The one who rushed over and slashed out with a sword was Wilhelm who had escaped from the illusion.
The white figure behind him dragged Subaru who fell to the ground.
The sword demon seemed to have poured all the anger trapped in the illusion into this strike, and unleashed a swift sword towards the opponent.
The attack drew an arc and stabbed the slender white figure mercilessly, but——
"Wow!?"
Shiro quickly threw Subaru onto the grass, barely avoiding the blow with his astonishing movements.
The evasion completed with the smallest movement made Wilhelm, who was convinced that this hit would kill him, stunned.
"—Fra!"
The figure raised his wand and released the magic, exploding the surprise.
The target was at the feet of Wilhelm, who was approaching. A pit was blown out of the ground, and the sword demon was forced to slow down.
At this moment, the enemy did not retreat but advanced. He stretched out his hand and struck Veruhelum's body with a blow.
The abdominal muscles that had been tempered for many times were hit, and the petite body released unimaginable power, sending Wilhelm's body flying.
Then the enemy raised his wand and pointed it at the sword demon, and the air in front of the wand began to twist. The resulting storm air flow hit the sword demon - it had been cut off by the sword before, and the magic power exploded.
"Take a hit from me"
The machete slashed at the retreating white figure from behind
Bai Ying's slender body was hit hard -
"What's going on!?" Ricardo made a surprised sound
Ricardo, who was supposed to have struck a decisive blow, instead let out a cry of surprise that was not victory.
The reason was naturally the white shadow that was knocked away—no, it was the enemy who turned around and was thrown away.
Bai Ying used amazing judgment to turn around in conjunction with Ricardo's attack, offset and staggered the impact, and avoided damage.
"This technology is very beautiful - but"
"If you think you can continue to act recklessly like this, you are totally wrong. Watch your move!"
The sword demon's praise and the giant wolf's roar attacked from both sides, and the enemy responded with the short staff in his hand.
The broadsword was swung and the silver light was crisscrossing, creating a space where the attack was intricate and a single strike could determine life or death at any time.
The white shadow shuttled through it like a dance, and often targeted the gaps to release magic, fighting equally with the two warriors.
Facing the two main combat forces of the expedition team, the enemy's proficiency in fighting is unbelievable
However, in this duel between strong men that transcended common sense, the outcome was determined by the intervention of two sharp blades.
"That's it—"
Bai Ying held his breath, with Julius's knight sword on his neck.
All the illusions of the expedition team were released during the battle. Shiro, who was delayed and lost the chance to escape, stopped resisting.
It was not just Julius who was restraining his actions, but also Wilhelm and Ricardo standing on the left and right. There was no way to escape, and his opponents also saw through this.
"The victory or defeat has been decided, right?"
"...Kill me, a scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated."
Bai Ying, exuding hostility, accepted his fate with a ruthless voice.
Her voice is high, and her shoulders covered with a white cloak are also very petite. When the other party sings, you can tell that she is a girl.
This resolute attitude stunned Wilhelm, and also made Julius and Ricardo look at each other.
Finally returning to reality, the expedition team that grasped the situation began to waver.
"I felt very familiar from the beginning. Why did I come here..." Yuexing walked forward and stared at the white shadow in front of him.
"Wait, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
At this time, he raised his hand and shouted, and the one who rolled over and crawled over was Subaru, who was covered in grass.
"——Barrus, and the moon star"
"Ah, I really miss this name. By the way, it's really you." Subaru sighed.
The man in the white cloak also lowered his hood
What appeared was a girl with pink hair, light red eyes, and a cute but serious face.
