Shade was very curious about where the wood came from, and then he realized that it was a power similar to his Thaumaturgy - Traveler Camp, which could directly create scenes.
The bonfire was not bright, but looking at Sister Devlin kneeling by the fire, Shade felt inexplicably at ease.
"Won't you go up with me?"
He asked, and the gray-haired nun wearing a silver eyepatch nodded slightly, but still said nothing. Although Shade didn't know what her plan was, since the nun said this, he walked upstairs alone, just thinking that he was alone.
One person's investigation.
The interior of the apartment was not shabby, and it looked like it was still being used, but I didn't know why there was no one there now. After arriving on the second floor, Shade didn't notice anything unusual in the darkness, so he continued walking up with the lantern.
As he approached the third floor, the whispering elements gradually became active:
"What could it be?"
He was ready to fight, but when he arrived at the corridor on the third floor, he still found nothing. He tried to continue walking along the corridor, and finally a ray of blue fire suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Amidst the infiltrating wails, the fire quickly expanded until it turned into a man whose whole body was burning with blue flames, and he opened his arms and rushed towards Shade.
"what?"
Shade frowned slightly and took a step back. The figure disappeared and immediately appeared behind the flaming figure. But at the same time as he appeared, a second flaming figure appeared out of thin air behind him.
, still opened his arms and pounced on him.
This time the distance was too close to avoid, so Shade turned around and threw out a beam of moonlight. It clearly cut off the opponent's head, but his body still flew towards him.
"Seal of Heaton!"
Summoning the moonlight sword, the golden spherical shield that unfolded filled the narrow corridor. And the next moment, the flaming figure with open arms pounced on the shield with flowing light, and then turned into blue flames
It exploded in the corridor.
The sound of rain outside the window completely covered up the dull sound of the explosion. Xia De clearly felt that the shield was protecting the blue fire. He did not feel that he was hurt, but he was still spinning instantly. When he stood firm on the wall, what was in front of him was
Sister Devlin, who was sitting on her knees by the bonfire, had obviously returned to the foyer on the first floor.
Although there was a violent storm outside, the room was extremely quiet. At this moment, although the nun didn't even raise her head to look at him, Shade clearly felt embarrassed.
Without saying a word, he held the lantern and quickly walked up the stairs again. After a while, he returned to the third floor.
At the location where the burning figure exploded, there were no traces of damage on the ground or walls. There was still nothing visible at the stairwell, but when Shade took two steps toward the interior of the corridor, blue flames began to float again.
, the burning man with open arms appeared out of thin air just like before, and rushed towards him again with open arms:
"Moonlight Slash!"
This time, the silver arc of light directly cut off the legs of the burning figure, and it fell to the ground with a dull sound. When Shade silently counted to "three" in his heart, the blue flames all over the figure exploded on the spot.
turned on, but did not cause any impact on the surroundings:
"It seems that as long as I don't let this thing get close to me, it will be fine. The space stabilizing halo!"
Since these figures burning blue fire appear out of thin air, interfering with their appearance is also a method.
After knowing the rules, he felt more at ease. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly felt something was wrong behind him. He turned around and saw that the blue-fire figure with open arms was already close at hand, but Shade did not feel any spatial changes at all:
"These things don't appear due to space movement?"
There was another muffled sound of explosion. Shade did not activate the Heaton Seal, but took the initiative to let a small amount of blue flames splash onto his clothes. In an instant, the high temperature hit him, and his whole body burned with blue flames, and then
Disappeared on the third floor again.
Dizzy, she held on to the wall and saw Sister Devlin kneeling by the bonfire again. This time the nun made a move, her trembling hands thrust into the bonfire, and the hands with burn marks were slightly closed.
Live in the heart of the flame. As a result, the blue flames on Shade's body flew towards the bonfire and disappeared into the orange-red flames as if they were absorbed.
Sister Devlin remained silent, and Shade almost understood that there was probably a special flame-like relic upstairs in this building, and the nun hoped that he could help contain it.
The strange blue flame is not very lethal, at least not to Shade. But once it comes into contact with the flame with the body or the shield maintained by itself, forced space transfer will occur. This characteristic
It's really tricky.
Sister Devlin did not comment on Shade's first two actions, but Shade felt more and more embarrassed in the nun's silence. He took the lantern and climbed up again, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time, and his steps were faster again.
Some.
"She" in my ear commented softly:
【Men’s self-esteem.】
Shade did not deny that his pride was hurt, so he had to find out carefully and quickly what was at the end of the corridor on the third floor.
So two minutes later, with another muffled bang~, Shade supported the wall and returned to the first floor again. This time, only his trousers were stained with blue flames, and the flames were quickly absorbed by the bonfire in front of the nun.
"In addition to appearing out of thin air, it turns out those guys on fire can also stretch out their hands directly from under the floor."
Without anyone asking questions, he muttered to himself, without looking at the expression of Sister Devlin who was kneeling by the bonfire, and quickly raised the lamp again.
Another two minutes later, with the fourth bang, a large group of butterflies suddenly appeared on the first floor, a quarter of them burning with blue flames. As the red butterflies gathered to form Shad, the blue flames again
Absorbed by the bonfire in front of the nun.
Shade quickly turned around and quickly went upstairs without saying a word, so he didn't see the slight smile on the corner of the nun's mouth behind him, under the blindfold by the fire.
This time, Shade stayed upstairs for a long time. On the first floor, he could hear constant collisions, explosions, and indistinguishable sounds of small animals scurrying around.
After another bang, Xia De appeared on the first floor and rushed upstairs without hesitation for the sixth time. Five minutes later, Xia De finally stepped on the stairs and walked back to the first floor from the third floor. And now
At that time, a faint blue flame appeared on the wick of the old kerosene lamp he was holding.
"The clerical relic [Fire of Return] often appears in ancient tombs, deep forests with complex terrain, and closed dilapidated houses. Its characteristic is that when a living person approaches, it will continue to generate flaming humanoid figures. After the explosion
Send the life stained by flames back to the 'starting point'."
Shade walked down the stairs. Sister Devlin stood up and told the truth about the relic:
"It is rumored that an unknown adventurer from the Fourth Age left behind this soul flame.
If you are not afraid of the high temperature of steaming your body, you can return to the starting point.
Although it is the regret of someone who was lost in the maze when he died, it is also the obsession that he left behind, longing for return."
"Sister, you could actually tell me what's up there before I go upstairs."
As Shade spoke, he had already arrived at the nun's side. He opened the cover of the lantern, and the strange fire of the relic turned into a stream of fire, flowing towards the black round slender flame held in the nun's hand.
.
The blue flame was quickly completely absorbed by the "primordial fire" and did not even bring any color change to the flame in the nun's palm. She silently closed her hands until the slender flame was completely covered.
On the backs of his hands with burn marks, red flame cracks flashed past, as if there were a few flame veins on the back of his fair hands, but they quickly disappeared. And Shade clearly felt that the brand new flames were swallowing up the flames.
Sister Devlin seems to have the power of space in her body.
"Yes, Chuhuo already has space power."
She lowered her head, as if she knew what Shade was thinking:
"For the battle tomorrow night, I need the power of space."
The nun maintained her habit of sparing words like gold, but she explained everything clearly in just a few sentences. Shade nodded, asked for the witch's task list again, and crossed out "Fire Blue"
After "Apartment", the only remaining tasks on the list were three less important items.
"The great witch of time is really powerful."
He sighed softly, but did not see Sister Devlin's hesitant expression. He put away the parchment, held the door handle and wanted to open the door, but the arm behind him stretched out and held Shade's hand on the door handle.
.
There were only two people in the apartment at this time, and naturally it was Sister Devlin who held his hand behind him. Shade was a little confused, and then felt the sister's palms heating up, and then fire appeared on the backs of their hands at the same time.
Red cracks and flames flew from the nun's hand into his arm, and the first fire flowing in his body also gained new characteristics.
[Outlander, when you use "Powerful Spatial Perception", you can perceive the location of the scattered flames of "Primal Fire" in a wider range. 】
[Foreigners, you can restore your own spirit by absorbing fire. The effect is very weak.]
Although he has not gained a brand-new spatial movement ability, now that he is about to land on the island, his ability to sense the location of the first fire is quite good.
In the darkness, the nun behind him did not let go of Shade's hand:
"Tomorrow night, please do not destroy the seal of Chuhuo before you are sure that the central island of Green Lake can be sealed."
"Of course, I understand. Once the seal is destroyed, catastrophe awaits the material world. We were originally intended to prevent this, but of course we cannot become promoters instead."
The nun nodded, and then retracted her palm. Shade resisted the urge to look back at her expression and pushed open the door, then opened the umbrella with a bang. The rainy night was slightly cold, and the sound of rain broke into the room, breaking the
There was a strange atmosphere between the two of them.
