Just a few breaths.

The situation became completely different from before.

The fire circle of the cult warlock, the protective barrier jointly erected by the priest and the investigator.

The spells performed by both sides during the battle gradually disappeared under the night.

--the reason is simple.

The huge vines that Nicole inspired to grow have spread rapidly in this vineyard, forming an intricate plant maze with no normal path to follow.

Under the illumination of the remaining flames, the ferocious plants cast green shadows on the ground and between each other.

In the dark night, the surrounding scenery is the most direct visual perception, which makes people shudder.

In the blink of an eye, the vineyard was almost reduced to a mysterious place.

In such an environment, both investigators and cult warlocks have lost their accurate perception of the enemy's location.

Ronald couldn't help but look at Nicole on the ground.

This little girl, who is no more than a high school student on earth, is the origin of everything before her.

It’s really confusing...

"..."

"Ronald, please carry Nicole on your back first."

At this time, Spencer took the initiative to assume the responsibility of commanding the investigators.

While instructing Ronald to pick up the unconscious Nicole, he walked up to the priest and another investigator Kate at the same time:

"How about it?"

"Can you continue to fight in your current state?"

Hearing Spencer's serious tone, the priest immediately shook his head.

He breathed heavily and spoke intermittently:

"I... I'm afraid it won't work."

"The evil flame just now caused a very serious burden on my spirit."

"Honestly...if it hadn't been for Miss Nicole's spell that interrupted the battle, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long."

On the other side, Investigator Kate's condition is much better.

Although his face was pale, the investigator still said indifferently:

"I can still persevere in my current state."

"But rather than continuing to fight, I'd rather leave here."

"..."

Spencer was silent for a few seconds, frowning stiffly:

"It seems that these guys are still quite strong in maintaining penetration into Burrenwich..."

What the Springs investigator meant was simple.

——There is also an enemy mole in the investigation bureau.

The reason why he thinks so is also very straightforward.

This is the defense method used by these cult warlocks against their own sonic attacks in the previous battle.

Although worked in Burrenwich a few years ago.

But both then and now, Spencer kept the effects of his spells secret. As a mysterious traitor who fled the country, he was confident that his precautions were in place.

So......

What's going on with these cult warlocks?

There must be someone within the Investigation Bureau who witnessed him performing his mission and then passed this information on to the cult warlock.

That's why tonight, the other party was able to make such a perfect response.

As for the previous battles, the cult warlocks also fully proved how complete their preparations were.

Ambush - lure the enemy - attack.

From the moment Ronald and others entered the winery, every link was in order and progressed step by step.

This isn't just for Spencer.

Even if the investigators are experienced, the effect of the technique is outstanding.

But once faced with such a well-constructed cult formation, the green flames can still successfully interfere with their state.

The moment the intervention was successful, the investigator's defeat was sealed.

Fortunately, things have changed here today.

The fact that Nicole temporarily brought over the priest was a turning point in tonight's battle.

The determined church members took back the opportunity for the cult warlocks to perform magic under the premise that the magic circle was formed, which led to the situation becoming what it is now.

"It's true..."

While lowering his head and thinking, Investigator Kate shook his head at Spencer:

"There is still a mole in the bureau who has not been found out, there is no doubt about it. But these cult warlocks have already put up such a big fight, I'm afraid they won't let us leave properly..."

"Roar--"

"Woman, are you crazy!"

At this moment, a man's shrill scream suddenly came from the distance, interrupting their conversation.

Everyone present knew the owner of this voice.

——It's Lamer.

After the botanical garden was covered by a large number of grapevines, Ronald and the others were indeed isolated from the cult's magic.

But that’s not the case with Patricia and Ramo, who are fighting fiercely!

Free from the flame circle, their battle never stopped, and the growing vines failed to interrupt the two opponents fighting at close range!

And at this moment, I heard Lamer’s shrill scream...

It seems that when the battle situation suddenly changed just now, the two people may have had a very dangerous confrontation.

And as a result, Patricia had the upper hand!

boom--

There was another very obvious collision, and the sound of broken vines was also mixed with Lamer's angry roar.

It's obvious that this demon is in a tough fight right now.

The Nicklaus family is not stupid.

After a clan member has been assassinated and died, the person sent to deal with this matter is naturally a strong person who can absolutely be trusted!

At this moment, Ronald realized something clearly in his mind.

In Springs, the capital of this country, Patricia is probably considered a quite powerful person.

"..."

"Let's go there first!"

"no problem."

Hearing the movement over there, several people quickly exchanged opinions.

Then he rushed towards the location where Patricia and Ramo were fighting.

Considering their previous position, they were closer to the battlefield on Patricia's side than those cult warlocks. In this complex terrain, being closer meant that they could get to the position faster to deal with the enemy.

Ronald naturally had no objections to such a decision.

He just quietly directed the black mist to shuttle back and forth between the gaps in the grapevines, ensuring that while hiding it, a wisp of black mist would remain in each location.

After all, Ronald can feel human emotions!

So it's very clear that those cult warlocks are approaching here little by little.

The other party really doesn't intend to let them go.

And Ronald was not going to let them go.

The next route the opponent takes to the battlefield is the time to test the ability of this group of cult warlocks to deal with traps!

While thinking.

Ronald picked up Nicole's delicate body.

Ignore the opponent's identity as an elite investigator, especially when Nicole is still wearing regular clothes.

Carrying it on his back, there was almost no burden on Ronald's strengthened body.

When she was in a coma, the investigator girl really looked like a child who was still in school...

"..."

Shaking his head slightly, Ronald looked a little complicated.
Chapter completed!
