After confirming that Shade really only wanted to take one person with him, the three great witches did not discuss it anymore, but jointly decided to let Vanessa follow. After all, she was at the thirteenth level.
Of course Bella and Miss Olanold accompanied them, and the sleeping Emilia was placed on the back of little Liana. Shade felt that Emilia should often sleep on the back of the little unicorn.
Because she had just been put on it, she took the initiative to hug the little beast's neck:
"Little Liana, why does your neck become uncomfortable?"
The elf murmured softly in his sleep. This was of course because of the armor.
In addition to the witches themselves, they also selected six high-level followers to follow them, most of whom participated in the underground operation just now. Miss Siris, Margaret and Hayley Aurora were too high-level because of their high level.
So he stayed in the city. Shade originally planned to leave little Mia to them to take care of, but then he felt that the city was very messy and he didn't want to cause trouble to others anymore, so he simply took the cat with him.
The representative of the elves, the thirteenth-ring warlock "Lord of the Glen" Mr. Eldron, will of course continue to lead the elf team to escort Emilia. However, considering the needs of city protection and the fighting environment in the forest, the candidates sent by the church are no longer
The "Master Constructors" are Miss Maria Ingram, the "Nightmare Witch" of the Church of Nature, and Miss Geiana Lisbron, the "Shadow Walker".
The former was affected by age changes like Vanessa, while the latter came to the woodland after that incident. Most of the local Thirteen Rings were responsible for city guards, so the church selected two Ten Rings from the Church of Nature.
The third level is already very difficult. However, although the thirteenth levels each have their own tasks, there is no shortage of high level warlocks.
Considering that too many team members are not always a good thing, the final escort team included three great witches (Bella, Vanessa and Miss Olanode), Sister Devlin, and the Thirteen Rings of Elf.
Apart from the two thirteenth-ring members of the church and Shade, there are only six people from the [Witch Council], six people from the church, three people from the academy, three elves, and three high-level diviners from the Seer Association.
Shade originally wanted to find the forest elf who came to the city to look for the arrow from the Bennet family, but he sent people to the Accordion Hotel, the old Bennet house, and even the Bennet family's house to search but failed to find it.
Seeing that time was tight, he had no choice but to give up traveling with the elf girl. However, Shade believed that the other party would definitely appear in the end, and maybe in a way that no one expected.
So after adding Emilia, the team had a total of thirty people and a little unicorn. In Shade's opinion, this was already a quite large team, but anything could happen in the forest now, so everyone
All manpower is required.
After determining the team members, the Church of Creation sent the team a special positioning device blessed by the power of the [God of Creation and Destruction]. The magical item itself was in the shape of a golden candle.
"After lighting the candle, we can sense the time and space you are in. This is a prop specially given to us by our Lord for this war. Once the candle is lit, unless the city is one second away from being invaded by the bugs, otherwise
We will definitely send as many people as possible to support you."
It's hard to say how effective the follow-up support team will be, but knowing that this trip is not entirely carried out alone can indeed give people peace of mind.
After collecting the last magical items, the team set off immediately. It was now the buffer period between the insect waves. Most of the ring warlocks involved in this battle were taking the necessary rest, so Shade did not let the church arrange it.
Too many people saw them off.
Only the thirteen-ring warlocks who had temporarily returned to the ground and representatives of various forces came to the square in front of the Golden Music Hall to bid farewell to everyone. However, they did not say too many words, and stood in the snow watching the team hurriedly walk in.
In this long night.
Although the time and space outside the city was almost completely chaotic, when Shade took out the four branches, the direction pointed by the branches was still north of the city.
Flying in the city was very fast, and after reaching the edge of the city, the group of people walked out of the city. The ground troops who got the news made way for them, and after leaving the giant shield that enveloped the city, what appeared in front of them was that they had been
Broken neighborhoods and ruins still smoking in the heavy snow.
The wind and snow outside the city made the skin feel stinging even more. Now that the sky battlefield was temporarily stable, the ground battlefield also ushered in a brief calm.
The ring warlocks and ordinary soldiers watched as a group of people gathered around the holy white unicorn and walked towards the forest. Many people believed that the appearance of the legendary sacred creature meant that the gods had been blessing the city. This was quite true.
Good ones boost morale.
Out of the city limits, the disappearance of the light source at the top of the Golden Music Hall made the surrounding area dim. The moon and stars obscured by clouds and fog were not enough to illuminate such a long night.
Flying in this environment is obviously not a wise decision, and people walking on the snow also controlled the sound of their footsteps and did not even leave any footprints on the snow.
Shade walked at the front and let the branches float around him to guide the way. At first, he didn't feel that the forest was any different from the past, but when the light of the city behind him completely disappeared, he was a little surprised to find that the light guiding the direction suddenly turned.
It turned nearly two hundred degrees, guiding them to turn to the right and rear.
"Strengthened spatial perception. Well, this trick is useless. It's like a complete oil painting has been cut into pieces and then randomly spliced together."
The chaos in the order of time and space not only makes path-finding troublesome, but the collapse of the basic order of the world also affects the spirit of the ring warlocks. The time represented by one second is no longer the distance that can be spanned by one step.
It's not just one step. Even though this team is composed entirely of the most elite ring warlocks, most of the people in the team still feel that their own strength has been severely suppressed and their mental power is unnaturally drained in a slight sense of dizziness.
If ordinary people or low-level warlocks stay in this environment for a long time, even if they survive the war in the end, they may suffer from mental illness that cannot perceive time and space.
There were still many monsters wandering in the forest on the only way forward, but with the purpose of moving forward as quickly as possible, the group tried to avoid unnecessary battles.
The Corrupted Tree People wandering in the snowy night have the weakest perception. They only need the illusions of the high-level warlocks to cover the team, and they can ensure that the group holds their breath and walks through the woods nearby;
When Paradox Bugs fly overhead, the eyes of ancient evil creatures are enough to see through the power of illusions, so the prophets need to predict the arrival of the bugs in advance so that the team has time to get into the snow to avoid their special sight;
There are also those weird relics that appear inexplicably in the forest. These relics cannot be targeted uniformly. They can only be identified and fought against after encountering them. Fortunately, the thirteenth-level warlocks in the team are strong enough, and the high-level warlocks are also real.
Although there were inevitably several battles along the way, the team was not delayed for too long.
On the way forward, Shade even remembered what happened in the Pantanal last winter. At that time, they rode horses from the periphery of the swamp toward the center of the swamp. Thinking about it carefully, although it was only last year, it seemed that a long time had passed.
long time.
The poisonous eight-eyed spider was easily burned to ashes by Sister Devlin's flames, and the relic derivative [Night Dire] from the [Emerald Dream] was sent back to her "hometown" by Miss Geiana Lisbrown.
”.
The elves bent their bows to drive away the gargoyles who didn't know where they came from, and the "Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria Ingram even released a large-scale nightmare mist to free the group of people from the entanglement of the "Invisible Children".
The branches of the World Tree guided everyone on the path in space, and when they were lost in time, Shade borrowed the "Ocarina of Time" from Emilia's hand and used the long sword with the "Key of the Door" to open it.
the way.
Leaving the urban area and bathing in the most primitive moonlight, the battles along the way made others more and more tired and depressed, but Shade felt that his condition was getting better and better.

As the spirit surges, the upper limit of the spirit becomes higher and higher, and every exertion of the muscles makes the physical strength stronger. The excited soul and stable mental power even allow his already powerful perception to break through the limit again.
In the blur, Shade actually sensed the truth beneath the chaos in the chaotic time and space at this moment. It seemed that in addition to the ancient sealing ritual that was still barely functioning at this moment, there was another powerful force here.
Maintaining the final stability of space and time.
That's certainly not Iluna's power. That kind of power is more ancient and primitive, and Shade is very familiar with it.
When Shade jumped again, slashing the curved sword blade in the air and splitting the "snowman" with the funny carrot nose, Bella was shocked to see the eight-ring life ring behind him flash past when he landed.
Shade, who landed on the ground, seemed to have twisted his feet and was unable to stand upright. The countess hurriedly reached out to support him. When she looked around, she was glad to find that everyone else was dealing with the "snowman army" around them - no one knew
What is this? But judging from the whisper element, it is a derivative summoned by some kind of relic, so I didn't notice the life ring flashing behind Shade just now.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She asked in a lowered voice, and then found that Shade's body was trembling slightly.
"I can't hold it in any longer."
He frowned and squeezed out a sound through his teeth, but judging from his expression, he didn't think he was in unbearable pain:
"I almost failed to suppress it just now."
"What?"
"Promotion. The silver moon tonight is so gentle. Under the caress of this moonlight, I am already on the verge of breaking out even if I don't do anything."
