“...... Pity. Sacksis shook his head regretfully, "I thought you were somewhat self-aware. ”

He stood up. In the next instant, the brown-haired shawl-elf vanished, replaced by a giant spotted leaf dragon. The passage in the tower was already very wide, but it could not even fully accommodate its body. Its outstretched wings sank into the walls, almost ridiculous...... But no one could laugh.

It silently approached them, unhurried, as if teasing prey with nowhere to run.

Correll took a deep breath and stepped forward to block the middle of the passage. The huge head of the spotted leaf dragon was right in front of him, with sharp teeth and cold and cruel eyes. Even if it was not an entity, the fear of being consumed was very real. The elf unconsciously clenched his teeth, his arms staggered in front of his chest, and the seemingly ordinary wrist armor on his right wrist changed color rapidly—from an earthy dark brown to a colorful green.

The shades of green are like leaves that rise in the wind in the sun...... It was as brilliant and gorgeous as the scales on the neck of the spotted leaf dragon, and the amber gems set in the wrist armor shone brightly, shining like the eyes of a dragon.

The spotted leaf dragon let out a strange chuckle, unable to tell whether it was anger or contempt. Correll was creepy, but he didn't take a step back - using a magical item made of the skin of a spotted leaf dragon in front of a spotted leaf dragon simply didn't die fast enough...... But the exchange of glances just now made him understand that Ed might have some plan, but it would take a little time.

He had to step up before Ferry could do it, because of this wrist armor, once the battle began...... It's not much use.

The air around them fluctuated like water, and the colorful colors and lines on the wrist armor spread, enveloping them in the blink of an eye. Beyond the barrier, the spotted leaf dragon floated in the air, flapping its wings needlessly, and did not move forward, and the dragon's face could not distinguish joy or anger.

"No one can attack. "From now on, if we don't do it...... It doesn't hurt us either, just like ...... Like we're not here at all. ”

Fenvi silently withdrew the dagger, and Ed nodded—it sounded like some kind of sanctuary.

"But I don't know how long I can last. Corell added, a little embarrassed, "This thing hasn't been used for almost two thousand years. ”

“...... What do you need?" asked Ed, condescendingly.

"Uh...... A little bit of good luck?" Ed smiled wryly.

The noble and reserved Elven Elder rolled his eyes gracefully.

Ed took out a fragrant dead branch from the bag, thought about it, and simply pulled out the remaining two.

Put all one’s eggs in one basket.

Sometimes he thought he might be a genius - he could always create new spells without a teacher, but now he thought he was probably going crazy...... But beyond that, he couldn't think of anything that could repel Saxess.

He lit the dead branches. The flowers that grow on the sides have long since shrunk to a dull yellow-brown color, but they still have a crystalline sheen, and small sparks burst when they burn. Blue smoke rose in a curling air, and Sacksis suddenly rushed forward as if sensing something, Ed's hand shook uncontrollably, and Ferry clenched his cane with a cold face. However, the spells were not lifted, although now they appear to be in the belly of the spotted leaf dragon...... But as Correll says – "It's like we're not here at all." ”

Ed pressed his heart, which was almost jumping out of his throat, back to its place, forcing himself to focus all his attention on the spell. He had gotten a little response when he was on White Rock Island, but that had been a few months since then......

The spell was silent at first, but Ed soon realized that there was no use in remaining silent. When he began to cast the spell, the green flowing in front of him finally faded.

Sweat trickled from his forehead, and Ed unconsciously chanted the incantation aloud sharp and urgent.

Fei Rui lowered his eyes to hide his suspicion. Ed's spells were derived from the ancient elves, and as a spellcaster, he could understand some of them. That's not harm, it's not expulsion, it's not imprisonment...... It's a cure.

Finger movements. He was close enough to Ed, close enough to stop the spell of unknown purpose...... But in the end, he only suppressed that ray of unease.

I couldn't believe that one day he would believe in one person who had met twice...... And it seems that humans are not reliable at all.

By the time the spell stopped, the barrier erected by Corell's wrist armor had completely disappeared. They were indeed in the belly of a spotted leaf dragon—the wraith's massive body enveloping them completely. The line of sight is still clear...... After all, Sackses had long since lost their bodies, but the light around them seemed to be much dimmer, more as if they had been taken into another world. It was chilling to the bone, and no one could move, from flesh and blood to their souls, all frozen in endless fear, as if it was death itself that embraced them.

This formidable opponent didn't even have to attack, they were powerless.

Only Xiaobai could raise his head and let out a low roar, which was deep and long, like a note left over from the song of the gods to awaken all things at the beginning of the world, and gently struck all the souls.

Ed jerked his head up, as if he was about to suffocate from the cold water, and involuntarily gasped.

He thought he had failed...... If Iss were here, the Sword of Acton in his hand might still be able to do real damage to this overly powerful ghost, but even if he summoned Iss now, it would probably be too late.

He pressed his chest. Naria gave him her silver bird brooch as she left Ston Butch, as if anticipating the danger he might encounter...... And he was too arrogant.

“...... Is. He whispered, a silver glint flashing out of the corner of his eye.

Maybe...... It's still time to save Payne.

He searched frantically in his own mind, trying to find a silver lining. Ferry's low chant was in his ears, and Korrell sighed and drew what was mostly useless his sword, but there was no despair in the slight smile on his lips.

At least, no one was going to give up at this moment.

“...... Daevie ...... "He gritted his teeth, and a tremor came from between his teeth, and even the ears of the elves could not be captured...... But there is definitely a whisper that anyone can hear.

But he stopped just in time - it seems, there was no need anymore.

The shadow of the spotted leaf dragon trembled, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred, as if struggling in pain. The roar with anger was like a huge wave that broke through the embankment, and it exploded directly into the depths of the soul, but there was another sound among them, like a gust of wind blowing through the treetops, like a wave sweeping across the sand.

From the inaudible to the overwhelming.
