The wind swept away the yellow sand, causing the visibility to drop rapidly. So when a figure appeared next to the damaged fountain statue in the center of the square, Shade couldn't even see clearly who it was at the first time.
"Looking at the figure, he looks like a man."
Different from the previous enemies that appeared as monsters, this time the figure covered by the wind and sand was in a normal human form.
It was standing next to the remains of the fountain. Not to mention attacking, there was no sign of even trying to move towards Shade. This made Shade even suspect that this was an illusion, so he summoned the life ring while moving forward against the wind and sand, and moved towards it.
A [Truth Crystal] made by thaumaturgy was thrown in the direction, but the figure did not change.
He is not the kind of person who has to get closer to see the other person's appearance out of curiosity. Seeing that the other person is not moving and the distance is right, Shade holds the thunder gun in his right hand, and the silver thunder penetrates the wind and sand.
The thunderbolt easily hit the figure next to the fountain, but the attack seemed to be absorbed by the opponent and had no effect. Just when Shade was confused, a sudden thunder sound appeared out of thin air, and then a thunder gun was aimed at him from a distance.
My head flew quickly.
He immediately summoned the moonlight sword and pierced it into the ground. The golden shield blocked the thunder spear, but after the shield dissipated, Shade's face looked very ugly:
"What a coincidence, it's still the Moonlight Slash!"
The big sword struck forward, and the bright silver light blade flew parallel to the ground into the wind and sand again, but was immediately blocked by the opponent's "Seaton Seal". Then just as Shade thought, almost the same moonlight lit up in the opponent's hand.
, the silver moonlight sword waved at him, and the moonlight slash also flew towards him.
"It can replicate the magic of seeing!"
Subconsciously, he wanted to use "Raglai's Jump" to dodge the attack but held back. Obviously, "Night Seal" was most suitable for blocking the moonlight, but Shade still used the "Seaton Seal" just now.
It was only then that the yellow sand swept by the strong wind finally dispersed, allowing Shade to see the true face of the enemy this time. At the same time, Adele on the wall behind him also spoke of this evil thing
The name:
"[Skeleton Prophet], the disaster of wisdom and knowledge! This is a very troublesome thing - Shade, don't let it get close to you under any circumstances, it has a mental aura around it, and anyone who gets close will become a fool!
"
The face of the humanoid evil thing standing next to the fountain where the broken girl was holding the water bottle gradually became clear in Shade's eyes. It was clearly the appearance of Durut Giles who lived with the girl's soul Rusty Edwards.
This young man, who arrived in this world where foreigners arrived, experienced the final battle at Green Lake and was safe and sound, was working as a history lecturer and living a peaceful life. He was wearing a very respectable but tattered black silk fabric.
He was wearing a suit and dusty black leather shoes.
It didn't hold anything in its hands, but its entire body seemed to have turned into a collection of bookshelves, with black book-like protrusions undulating on every inch of its body.
These protrusions undulated extremely slowly and with a small amplitude, so Shade could identify him. Although he didn't know what he had experienced in the "past" era when he did not appear, it was certainly not a pleasant thing.
"Halo of mental retardation? Is there really such a thing?"
Although Shade asked loudly, his steps kept retreating.
"Of course there is. And the Intelligent Skeleton Prophet can master all the abilities seen by it! The more 'wisdom' it has, the wider the range of the fool's halo, and the stronger the effect. Be careful, I don't know if you encounter it
How much 'wisdom' does this have now."
Adele's voice came from the wind, and she didn't need to continue to remind him. Shade also knew that if he wanted to deal with this kind of thing, he could only kill it with a single blow through thaumaturgy that it had never mastered.
So after understanding this, he pulled off the key and turned it into a staff. He jumped up and wanted to turn into a red butterfly and fly high into the sky. At the same time, the figure of the "Skeleton Prophet" beside the fountain flickered for a moment, and then suddenly appeared in Shade.
behind.
"Oh, no! It already has spatial abilities."
The witch by the wall covered half of her face and couldn't bear to see what was going to happen next, but she was also ready to retreat to the house and then remotely rescue Shade.
The moment the evil thing with undulating skin appeared, Shade, who was just about to take off, seemed to have tripped over something and fell to the ground comically.
[The Staff of Yggdrasil] fell to the side with a clang. Shade rolled a few times on the sand, and then climbed up on all fours. With a silly expression, he faced the evil thing
It was a "meow~" sound.
The corners of Adele's mouth trembled and she pressed against the wall, her eyes widening and she couldn't bear to watch anymore.
The dull-looking "Durut Giles" then raised his hand, and a white crystallized spear quickly condensed from his hand. The soul crystallized spear stabbed Shade on the ground, but unexpectedly, with a flash of light, Shade turned silver
The cat continued to get down on all fours and meow at it.
The spear was raised to pierce the cat's belly, but as the cat stretched out its front paws, the claws immediately turned into huge silver dragon claws and crushed the spear.
??????55.??????
The huge moonlight dragon projected its shadow onto the square. The dragon, whose expression still had a sense of humor, lowered his head, aimed at the "small" evil object, and blew out a brilliant silver breath.
The figure of the evil thing flickered and disappeared again and appeared on the head of the Moonlight Dragon. Its two hands were clasped together and raised high. The huge sun gun quickly took shape under the black sun. The thunderbolt seemed to dye the dim sky into gold.
The power of this blow definitely exceeded Iluna's level at this time.
Along with the huge beam of golden thunder and hundreds of tiny thunderbolts falling, they just passed through a group of drunken butterflies and bombarded the square, without any butterfly being harmed.
As the thunder shattered the ground, Adele felt as if the house behind her was shaking several times. She hurriedly ascended to the roof of No. 6 St. Teresa Square, and then saw Shad transformed into a colony of butterflies.
Because I was about to regain my "wisdom" after leaving the surroundings of the evil thing, but the evil thing followed me again.
The evil thing's right foot stepped on the ground, and a series of runes flashed on the undulating spine-like protrusions on its legs. The ritual suddenly appeared out of thin air. The ritual array of the "High-level Restoration Domain" covered the entire square to suppress Shade's transformation.
technique.
Shade seemed to be standing unsteadily and suddenly fell to the right. The "Skeleton Prophet" reached out to grab his arm, but was cut open by the silver light thrown by the staggering Shade's right hand.
The illusion was shattered, and the "Intelligent Skeleton Prophet" walked out from behind Shade, but as the figure flashed, Shade also used his space ability to hide. When the "Intellectual Skeleton Prophet" followed closely, he raised his feet and kicked the opponent, and then touched the ground with his hands.
Both feet kept kicking the air, and silver, yellow and blood-red light blades flew out in all directions.
"I really don't know whether to praise him for his strong instincts or..."
But a weak mind is a weak mind, and instinctive combat experience cannot resist the evil thing of "wisdom". The light blade directly penetrated the body of the "Intellectual Skeleton Prophet" after touching it, and approached Shade's evil spirit in a strange "hollow" state.
thing, and finally grabbed his arm.
In an instant, countless sentences composed of the common language of Delarion appeared on Shade's body, and quickly flowed along the evil thing's hand towards the undulating books in its body.
At the same time, the evil thing's left hand stabbed directly into Shade's chest, and grabbed a book from it. The book had a strange square cover, but the book itself was bright silver.
"Time stands still!"
Click~
Adele swooped down like a cannonball while the evil thing was stilled. The three hands on the huge gold dial behind her rotated counterclockwise, and magic was used to ensure that she could fly backwards by reversing time in three seconds.
go back.
She reached out from a high place and tried to grab Shade's left leg, which was standing upside down, but with a bang, it was bounced away by the burst of silver moonlight and hit hard against the wall around the square.
"What's wrong? Shade doesn't even recognize me?"
The powerful demigod witch climbed up in surprise, and was even more surprised to see that what was flying away from her was not some light, but a solid silver flame.
Pure silver flames surrounded the two people in the square, and in the flames, the ignited prophet began to wail silently.
It wanted to stay away from Shade, but it couldn't move no matter what. The books in its body that were constantly rising and falling kept flashing at a faster frequency, and then with a muffled sound, tens of thousands of huge books
The bullets were ejected in all directions of the square.
Its hand is still holding the strange book taken out of Shad's chest, and the book has completely separated from Shad's body at this moment. Only on the side of the book close to Shad's body, a silver transparent arm emerges from
Shade stretched out his chest and also grabbed the book.
Because of the barrier of the silver fire, Adele couldn't see clearly what the arm extending from Shade's body was, but at least she saw that the "silver fire" flowed out of the "crack" that appeared in that arm.
.
On the strange silver book held by both sides, all the Delarian runes that had just leaked flowed back, and even brought back knowledge that did not originally belong to this book.
Then the transparent and slender hand grabbed the silver book and returned to Shade's body, while "Durut Giles", who had lost all his "wisdom" and was still burned by the silver fire, turned his head and was about to go towards
Escape outside the square.
At this time, Shade, who felt like he was dreaming just now, finally woke up and covered his head. He looked blankly at the mountains of books piled up in the square in front of him. Seeing that the staff of Yggdrasil was at his feet, he put it
Pick it up, raise it above your head, and then throw it forward with force.
This blow did not use any magic, it was purely based on the strength of the flesh. With a whoosh, the long stick passed through the wind and sand and penetrated the back of the evil thing, and then nailed it to the outer wall of No. 1 Saint Teresa Square.
