Chapter Five - Interlacing of Light and Darkness (2)

To deal with things like wraiths, the best weapon is sunlight... Although I don't know why I think so, but it is the truth. The barrier of [Scorching Light] completely blocks the wraiths from the outside. When they want to tear up the light curtain, they will be directly melted by the high temperature. Defeat, so no matter how many these wraiths are, they can't pose any threat.

"Have you felt the experience soaring when you farm monsters? It won't be long before you can LEVEL UP, and then go to fight the BOSS!"

"..."

What the hell is this guy talking about?

I didn't answer Emily's words, and stared at the wraiths around me, until I confirmed that there would be no more gray-white things appearing, then I released [Scorching Light]. Although this is an excellent defensive and counterattack spell, because the brightness of the barrier is really like sunlight, if sun protection measures are not taken well, it will also cause some small problems for the people inside.

For example, it's hard for me to see what's going on outside right now.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Wait."

"Eh?"

I couldn't react, and Emily hit the head with her staff.

"it hurts!"

"Hey what! It's literally, just wait."

"No, why wait."

"You can try attacking that crystal, too."

After Emily finished speaking, she put away the staff, with words like "Believe it or not" written all over her face. They obviously wouldn't make such naive gestures when they first met, but is it because the body has become smaller and the mind has also become younger?

Speaking of which, how long will it take for her to change back? Carrying a young woman all the time is troublesome in every sense.

"Even if you want me to attack, I don't have any means."

"Cut it with your dagger."

"...No, I give up that stupid behavior."

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to have an effective move. I'd better save a little effort.

Emily's attention wasn't on the huge crystal, she was chanting some kind of incantation repeatedly, but judging from the fluctuation of mana, she didn't seem to be about to release any spell, but was just checking the surrounding situation. After looking around to make sure there was nothing weird, I could only interpret Emily's behavior as "she's detecting something she can't see".

There are so many puzzles.

Montgomery is a very magical existence, maybe I can use her ability to find information about this existence when Qiuqiu is by my side. It's a pity that now I have only one girl beside me who doesn't talk to me very much, and even the explanations are half-told and half-hidden.

I think my ability to make up brains is not bad, but with such few clues, I can't even piece together a general framework.

I don't understand what Emily is waiting for, I think I can use this time to sort out the clues I got now.

First of all, Montgomery is a kind of "virtual image monster". He usually disguises himself as a guy who is devoured by him and lurks in the crowd. When he meets his hunting target, he will turn into a magic dog. The enchantment turns an area into its hunting ground, and Montgomery can then attack physically.

At least I can be sure that the Montgomery that Emily and I met suddenly did not appear out of nowhere, and it was probably related to that "Warren" member. Since Montgomery is Warren's family, there is nothing wrong with them being members of Warren when they are disguised as humans.

If it is further speculated, in fact, that person probably regarded Emily and me as hunting targets, so he chose to commit suicide and liberated his appearance as a magic dog.

So the strange syllables that that person uttered were not runes, but a language related to Montgomery and Warren, right?

I always feel that the pronunciation is very close to the pronunciation that Emily occasionally sings.

…………

Wait, since Emily used to be a follower of Octavia, I told her before contacting her that "the pronunciation of magic spells is rather strange".

Can I understand that Emily sometimes sings the incantations of spells in the pronunciation of magic spells, so I think it sounds fast and weird. Moreover, the pronunciation of the language used by Montgomery is also similar to magic, that is to say, "Warren" is actually a god?

It was actually a god and his believers who caused the "century of destruction".

Terrible conclusion.

"What did you think of?"

"Thinking of a lot of unbelievable and unbelievable things... how about you?"

"After a little perception of the structure of this crystal, I suddenly found that we have a more troublesome problem."

"More trouble?"

I looked at Emily suspiciously, she nodded, her eyes still stayed on the huge crystal in front of her.

"There are two ways to defeat Montgomery. One is absolute physical suppression, which involves physical damage from the outside. Even if he is a 'virtual image monster', when he can perform physical strikes, he will also suffer physical attacks. Emily stopped in the middle of speaking, and took out the staff again, "This is a relatively conventional method, and it's very simple, as long as you hit Montgomery until he doesn't exist."

"It's really simple and rude, what about another method?"

Emily's first proposal has no chance of being enforced, and I hesitate to focus on the second approach.

"Disintegrate from the inside, but it needs a lot of members. The first is a religious person who can lead people into Montgomery's interior and ensure that all members will not be spiritually polluted. Second, there must be magic that destroys a large area to deal with those grievances. Next, we need to lure out Montgomery's main body wraith to destroy it, and finally we need to use magic with sufficient attack power to crush the crystal."

"In other words, one is a physical attack and the other is a magic attack?"

"That's it."

"So what is our difficulty now?"

"I can't fully cast explosive magic like Comet lunge [Comet Direct Strike], so I can't break the crystal. As for Neil, you...have combat power?"

"It's really embarrassing that I don't have fighting power!"

"I'm not blaming you, because I really can't confirm your combat effectiveness. The last time I saw your super law magic in the ruins of Catherine, it was quite shocking. It exploded randomly in a closed environment, and you didn't even prepare for defensive measures. good."

"I can't take defensive measures!"

"May I remind you a little bit?"

"It's my fault for forgetting to remind, I'm really sorry!"

That incident was indeed my fault. As a spellcaster, I am in the center of the magic circle, and it is absolutely impossible for me to suffer any harm. In the past, the people who stayed by my side were Qiuqiu, who would not be affected by the shock wave, so I was very careful when using supernatural magic. random.

Anyway, as long as you gather mana and throw it outside, it's a very simple matter.

"Translegal magic often has many restrictions. What are your restrictions?"

"Well... First of all, it must be in a place with plenty of mana, and secondly, the mana in the target area should preferably be in an inert state, and the lower the frequency of activity, the better."

If you think about it carefully, this condition is quite harsh.

Generally speaking, places with sufficient mana will show an active state.

The inert state should also appear in some places where mana is scarce.

But my supernatural magic cannot lack these two conditions. Without the former, there is no way to release it. Without the latter, even if it is released, it is just a large firework, without any destructiveness. Qiuqiu once told me that transgressive magic is often related to a person's personality, but I can't see that this magic can show a certain aspect of my personality.

"It's a strange condition, but this place should be able to meet your requirements."

"Indeed it is."

I nod.

By now, I probably know what Emily means.

I just hope that I will use superlaw magic to blow up this crystal in front of me!

"Then Neil, let's prepare for the magic."

"Hey! Are you ready now?"

Didn't it mean that there is still a job before frying crystals!

"Because the time interval between defeating Montgomery's main body Wraith and blowing up the crystal cannot exceed one minute, it is better for you to prepare in advance... how long can it last at most?"

"If you stay in the ready position, you can last for three minutes."

I roughly estimate.

In fact, it may not last for three minutes.

In order to maintain the magic circuit, a large amount of magic power is consumed, and most of the consumed magic power will be automatically poured into the black blade formed by the magic power, so this is a magic that is more powerful the longer it is stored. But my black blade has just condensed and I'm already a little unstable, not to mention waiting for so long.

Three minutes is already the maximum estimate.

"Three minutes, the time is a bit tight, but it should be done, Neil, you can start spelling."

"Huh? Oh."

"Remember not to stop no matter what happens, and throw it directly at the crystal when I call you to attack."

"I see."

I nodded to Emily who was standing in front, and then started to prepare my supernatural magic.

Speaking of which, the number of releases of supernatural magic this year is a bit too much!

"Activate magic power."

"Destroy constraint."

"Develop the magic circle."

"Element charging."

"Establish the conceptual structure."

The familiar magical circuit was constructed, and mana began to gather around me.

I didn't continue to chant, because just doing this step is enough. Originally, there were some additional chant words, the purpose of which was to speed up the gathering speed of mana, and at the same time add some attributes to the magic, but considering that it would last for three minutes, I gave up those chant words.

But Emily, she was holding the staff with one hand, and seemed to be preparing some spells.

With high-speed singing and strange pronunciation, I couldn't understand what spell she was reciting, but from the spell engraved on the magic circle, it should be a kind of forced grasping spell, similar to "Mage Hand" The upgraded version of the spell, but this time the object of grabbing is not a physical thing, but a wraith.

Can you really catch it?

I am not sure.

Emily had done that anyway.

The magic hand flashing with lightning reached into the inside of the crystal, and then dragged something out.

"Aw!"

A magic dog... Well, it's about the same size as the one I saw in the ruins last time.

"Montgomery's body?"

"Almost, because Montgomery was a man-eating evil spirit at first," Emily said, waving the staff in her hand, and turned to look at me, "You can hold on! The other party is a magic dog, and we have to deal with it." It's a little cumbersome to get up, and it may take a little longer than expected."

"Then please hurry up!"

Don't look back when you're fighting, okay?

This is the truth that children understand.

I really want to remind Emily a few more words, but I don't have the extra energy to speak. The magic black blade in my hand is completely condensed. If I want to maintain this magic and prevent him from releasing it immediately, I have to spend a lot of effort to suppress it. It is already considered reluctant to pay attention to Emily's battle situation.

The magic dog in spirit form was different from the one I saw last time.

It not only bites, hits, and swings its claws, but also releases dark green fireballs, and it has a flexibility that does not match its body size, and it can even move at will because it is a spirit body. In contrast, Emily could only stand still holding the staff, trying to resist Montgomery's attack while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

"freeze!"

It wasn't a spell, but simply ordered Mana to condense ice around it to block Montgomery's attack. The situation is indeed a little better because of this, but I have no idea how Emily plans to deal with the magic dog. Could it be that she is still preparing?

Have no idea.

All I know is that if she doesn't hurry up, the magic in my hand will really be thrown out uncontrollably.

"Aw!"

"Crack!"

The howling of the magic dog sounded, and at the same time there was the sound of ice being crushed.

However, Emily inside disappeared.

when is it How did she do it?

When I found Emily, she had come directly above the magic dog, holding the staff in her right hand and pointing it at the back of the magic dog. The tip of the staff kept gathering mana. She was ready to fight back, and the magic dog Because of the excessive force just now, there was no way to escape for a while.

"Impale [Penetrate]!"

The ice cubes derived from the madness pierced the magic dog, and then the ice exploded, tearing the magic dog into pieces, and then disappeared completely.

"Neil, hurry up!"

Emily yelled at me immediately.

"Overclocking Resonance【Overclocking Resonance】!"

The magic accumulated for a long time was thrown out.

The black blade entered the crystal like a flash of light, and the crystal dimmed instantly.

"Gudong!"

Like the sound of a beating heart.

Then, a dazzling white light erupted from the surface of the crystal, swallowing everything here.

※ ※ ※ ※

Waking up in the middle of the night to see a beautiful starry sky is not a good thing, because it may mean that the tent has been stolen, or the house may have been stolen, and it may be more likely that someone has been stolen... Although I am I don't understand what kind of leisure these thieves are holding, they just like to let others look at the stars when they wake up.

At least, as far as this situation is concerned, it is a great blessing for me to open my eyes and see a starry sky.

[It finally came out. 】

Transcendental magic not only shattered the crystal, but also took away my consciousness. When I woke up, I was already lying on the ground. There was a sound of breathing from the right. It was probably Emily. She had lost her original magic power due to her body shape change, but now she must have passed out from exhaustion due to overcasting.

I sat up with some difficulty supporting my body.

There are many puzzles, and I still don't understand what kind of guys are in the "Warren" organization.

However, since Montgomery has been eliminated, it means that Emily and I have been able to leave this abandoned area and return to a safer place. Maybe we need a cup of warm black tea to relieve our dry throat, some food to fill our stomachs, and then slowly explain this series of things clearly. After all, Emily knows more than I imagined. My curiosity Bigger than Emily expected, too.

But it's useless to think so much.

"It's better to take her back first."

I bent down and picked Emily up.

"Hmm... back to the dormitory or her room?"

Suddenly thinking of this question, I was a little overwhelmed.

It is still possible to go back to the dormitory at this point in time, but holding such a young woman in my arms, I think I will probably be caught by my roommate, and then a series of inquiries will follow. If you choose to go back to Emily's room, it will be quite troublesome to enter the girls' dormitory area at this time, not to mention that I still hold a young female.

It's Emily's problem before and after.

"Ahh! In short, get out of here first, if you really can't, just find a place to stay until dawn."

I can only make this decision.

Even if Montgomery has been dealt with, I don't want to stay in this place for too long.

Inexplicably feel gloomy.

"At this point in time, some stores are still open."

I was a little hungry, and I began to think about whether to eat something.

No matter what, find a way to leave first.

The wreckage in one place caused me a lot of trouble.

【Why don't you find Qiuqiu, although she may have fallen asleep. 】

While thinking, I jumped down from the ruins and fell to the ground.

Ahead is the exit of the abandoned area, and I can't help but relax.
