"How?"

In the cave with three forks in the road, Claire asked Charlotte in front of her.

The latter was casting a spell, and he had a pale blue illusory swallowtail butterfly fluttering in his hand. It was a figurative image of Sylvia when she cast an illusion in her memory, but Charlotte had constructed a false model to simulate the effect of the aura of the pathfinding spell.

But the butterfly was obviously confused, and it swirled back and forth in Charlotte's palm, and did not start moving.

"It's not good. Charlotte shook her head, and after trying again, he dispersed the swallowtail butterfly and gave up the useless struggle, "There seems to be some force up front that has cut off the exploration of pathfinding." ”

"Magnetic field, or spell position?" asked Claire.

After seeing Charlotte's subsequent spell casting action and his next expression, Claire shrugged, "It seems to be the latter." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Can you analyze what kind of function it has?" Claire continued.

"Don't worry, that's exactly what I'm going to do next. ”

To say that Charlotte is a master of illusion and the mind is not wrong, but it is also not true. In fact, Charlotte has a wide range of skills, and he's pretty good at the other major types of spells. Except for spellcasters of Claire's level, Charlotte's attainments in the rest of the major fields are by no means inferior to those so-called specialized mages. At this point, Claire is nowhere near Charlotte.

Therefore, when Charlotte began to analyze, Claire summoned several high-level undead to be on guard, quietly waiting for the results of Charlotte's analysis.

After about a quarter of an hour, the results came in.

"It's impossible to analyze the construction nodes of this huge spell position, but I can roughly judge the effect it has. Charlotte voiced her guess, "Like a normal spell position, it increases the host's magical affinity and suppresses us. ”

"Meaningfully, it means that we spend more magic energy every time we cast a spell. Claire nodded, not surprising, "But we have the Root Artifact, and we can turn the tide of the situation." ”

"yes. In addition, it also has the effect of condensing negative energy particles, suppressing shadow energy, and freezing space. ”

"Well, it's normal to condense negative energy for the sake of the undead calamity, but suppressing the shadow energy and freezing the space is obviously against you, which means that you need to spend more energy every time you use illusion and temporal spells. Claire gave Charlotte a worried look.

"Can I be proud? Don't worry, I'm not just two skills. Charlotte made a joke to relax Claire and continued, "Plus, it has the ability to cut off detection, which is normal to avoid detection. However, in the end, the effect is worth pondering. It also has a no-fly effect!"

At this, Charlotte looked at Claire suspiciously, as if to ask him if he had any clues.

The latter's brows furrowed, equally puzzled, "Strange, why did they add such an effect to the spell array?" I can't think of any other than those bats under Willett, if we would still be able to use flying in this cave?"

"Actually, I've actually been in the Shadow Temple's vaults. Charlotte said pointedly, "If I hadn't reacted quickly and decisively into the air that time, I would have almost been killed by my own shadow." ”

Elle recalled that experience, and a disgusted expression appeared on her little face, "The feeling of being chased by your own shadow is even more uncomfortable than biting a fly out of a crepe!"

"You mean to say that the decisive battle site they chose should have a lot of space and ...... What kind of traps are there on the ground?" Claire reacted immediately, "That's why they want to limit our ability to fly?"

"I don't know, anyway, I can only take one step at a time. ”

Claire nodded, "Then the question is, where are we going now?"

Charlotte shrugged, "Try your luck!"

But their luck was obviously bad, and this may also indicate that the next battle will not be as smooth sailing as they thought.

After making the wrong choice on two occasions in a row, they walked at least ten kilometers before realizing that they had chosen the wrong direction, and had to go back to the distance and pass through the sheep's intestine trail of the underground river.

"Who the hell opened up this place!" Charlotte, who was acting as a makeshift warrior, cursing as she hovered down the cliff-like path, swearing with her sword.

"It's said to be nature. Claire's tone was also irritated.

"Then it's such a bastard! I'm not going to give you any face, I'll be honest, I'll see it once, I'll cut it once!"

"Don't give me face, just go for it. ”

The two of them were talking nonsense in a serious way, while knocking the undead who came along the way to the ground.

Charlotte was like a true knight in front of him, and whenever the necromancer attacked, he could anticipate the enemy's opportunity to stab his sword. Over time, his physical memory began to move closer to the family heirloom martial arts of memory processing, and each time he wielded his sword, he became more and more proficient and refined, not like at the beginning, just relying on the ability of the Vientiane Demon Eye to cheat there.

A black warrior sprang out of the shadows, and Claire ignored it, instead aiming her crosshairs at the ghost that followed behind her in a tacit manner. Together with Elle, he cast spells to deal with the annoying ghosts that could switch between matter and energy, and gave up the Black Knights in front of him to Charlotte to practice.

Charlotte, who has become more and more proficient in martial arts, uses a refined way to block the black knight's slash, while using the power of her wrist to lift the hilt of her sword. The hilt of the sword hit the black knight's jaw with the black bones exposed, causing the soul fire in its eyes to flicker and reveal a flaw for a second or so. This period of time was too much room for Charlotte with the MONOCULUS, and Charlotte struck the hilt of her sword back into the Black Knight's chest, swinging her sword two steps back as the latter took two steps back.

With a flash of the sword, the black knight's head fell to the ground.

The mage, or rather the knight, stabbed his sword into the shadows of the cavern, only to hear a squeak like a mouse, and a bat with fangs twitched and dissipated into black smoke. This is a blood clan, and before he even has time to conjure up his true body, he was solved by Charlotte with martial arts.

"Are you really a mage?" Claire looked at with a dark win.

"A lot of people have asked!" Charlotte triumphantly said that he cast a positive enchantment spell on his sword, which would allow him to inflict damage on the ghosts that slipped through the net, "Actually, I also think that I am no different from those warriors, except that I can't use powerful martial arts." ”

After hearing his words, Claire had a whimsical proposal, "In other words, if one day you can simulate the operation of magical energy in martial arts, you can really turn into a warrior?"

"Actually, I've been successful for a long time, but I haven't found a way to match the strength of my body with the berserk magic of my martial arts. Because I only have the physical strength of the three rings, in other words, even the martial arts of the four rings will cause me a lot of damage. Charlotte's pride was uncontrollable.

"Fuck you! bastard!" Scratching is Claire's calmness, and she is already envious and jealous.

While fighting and communicating, they are getting closer and closer to their destination.
