Chapter VIII

In the evening, although they had planned to set off for the summit of Zonia in the morning, the information they received in the evening delayed everyone's sleepiness.

Looking at the darkness above the mountainside, everyone was amazed, they didn't feel any powerful magic, nor did they feel any dangerous aura, they could see the towering bare peaks during the day, but at this time there seemed to be nothing under the darkness, only calm, very simple calm, without any discomfort.

Is there really an enchantment under that mountain peak, Lucy and they don't know, Loki glanced at it and said that he didn't feel anything abnormal, and he wasn't sure that there was no enchantment, but he also warned them that he didn't feel the existence of the enchantment, if it really existed, then this enchantment may be a very terrifying existence, and it may also block the connection between the astral realm and the gate of the human realm, and Lucy will probably not be able to summon the astral spirit at that time.

Anyway, Loki's warnings gave Lucy a hint that she could use astral magic to determine if they had entered the enchantment.

The next day, Lucy and her party got up early, and it was just dawn, but at this time Dhornia could clearly see the top of the mountain, which also meant that the most dangerous time end of Dronia's legend had passed.

"Departure ......" under Elusa's order, the group began to walk towards the top of the mountain, the purpose of this trip is to explore the enchantment, whether they can enter or not, they have to evacuate around four o'clock in the afternoon, although they are very confident in the strength of their group, but in case Alusa still decided not to take risks, after all, they are completely unfamiliar with the enchantment.

If she couldn't get into the barrier, Elusa would have decided to take the risk, and the group would stay halfway up the mountain to see what would happen at night, and to investigate how the magicians had died.

Of course, they are not the only ones who are exploring, but also the magic guilds of various countries that have come for a long time.

As with the initial information, there was nothing but the unusual weather on Zonia, and in just noon Lucy and his party reached the top of the mountain with their strong physical strength, and from the top of the mountain, the scenery below was unobstructed, and even the tent where he rested last night could be clearly seen, although only Natsu's astonishing eyesight could see.

"Really, there is such a thing as an enchantment?" Lucy was a little suspicious at this point, and Lucy had already called Loki out, and Loki was looking around.

"If it's a real enchantment, I think we're in the mirror by now," Loki said in a calm voice after a moment's inquiry.

"It's fake, it's not like it's fake," Natsu said, kicking the dirt under her feet, the dust and the smell of dust can't be faked.

"I didn't say this was fake," Loki gave Natsu a blank look, and in the end, Natsu was probably the only one who didn't understand what the enchantment was.

"If we go on like this, we shouldn't run into anything," Elusa asked.

"Of course not, we can easily go back to the original path, even if you walk all over this mountain, the existence of the barrier is to block all outsiders"

"Then how the hell do we break through this barrier, then our commission will not progress at all" Gray didn't know where to take off his clothes at this time, the constant temperature of 25 degrees made him feel too hot, and at the same time made him feel a little impatient.

"It's actually very easy to enter the enchantment, just like you enter the Star Spirit Realm, just put on the clothes of the Star Spirit Realm" Loki looked at Gray.

"Gray, clothes ......" Lucy shook her head helplessly.

"Uh......" Gray noticed that his clothes were gone.

"Pass?" Elusa understood.

"That's right, to enter this barrier, you have to understand when it existed and who it is related to, and then start from that aspect, and finally find a way to let this barrier know you, so you can enter" Loki nodded.

"Akunororia, the only clue is him at the moment, but we can't go find him," Lucy frowned.

"Even if we can't find a way to enter the barrier, we should consider solving this problem now that people are constantly coming to explore, and with the unknown deaths at night......" Elusa looked at the group not far away, the same magicians who had come to explore Dhornia.

"Wouldn't it be too risky to do Plan B in advance......?" Gray wondered.

"No, tomorrow, I'll ......be alone tonight," Elusa just said and paused for a moment, then looked at Lucy, "Lucy, you and I will be halfway up the mountain tonight, I need your star spirit magic to make sure that the power of that enchantment will be weakened at night"

"Eh......" Lucy exclaimed when she heard Elusa's words.

Elusa's decision was very authoritative, and basically no one could resist, so it was decided, tonight Elusa and Lucy inspected the situation, and tomorrow night they all acted together, and since there was nothing left, everyone also went down the mountain and returned to the town together, only Elusa and Lucy stayed in the resting place last night for the time being.

As the clock ticked by, evening came, and Elusa and Lucy refueled their strength in the rest area and walked halfway up the mountain.

Although the sky is not completely dark, the upper part of Zonia in Elusa and Lucy's vision has gradually developed a dark feeling, the higher you go, the more depressed it feels, this feeling does not exist during the day, but I don't know if this is the person himself, after all, the mountains and the night have always given people a feeling that cannot be crossed, light...... Always bright......

During the day, Elusa made an obvious mark in a place halfway up the mountain, at this time the two only need to reach the mark and watch for a while and then let Lucy use the star spirit magic to go down the mountain, although it is very simple, but the unknown is always very scary, Alusa has already looked around vigilantly, Lucy also took the key and sent magic to the key slightly, this does not open the door but a preparatory stage before opening the door, and Lucy only needs the key to be ready at all times, so that she can judge whether the door can be opened。

Due to the arrival of night, the way up the mountain was slightly unclear, so the two could not hurry as fast as during the day, and at the same time, in order to check the situation, it took the two of them nearly two hours to reach the place scheduled during the day, which was more than double the time of the day.

After arriving at the predetermined location, the two found that there was no special existence as they saw from the bottom of the mountain, and the darkness under the night was just night.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" said Elusa, looking around, to Lucy.

"No......" Lucy shook her head.

Elusa didn't speak, but looked carefully, but unfortunately there was nothing, but she could feel the presence of a breeze, which could also make her feel a little cool.

"It's so cool, it's like being under a tree," Lucy sighed, as if sensing the breeze.

However, because of these words, Elusa suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and the breeze was under the tree?

Lucy ...... Move around quickly and watch your magic at the same time," Elusa immediately cried.

"Ah, what?" Lucy was stunned for a moment.

"Don't ask, ......," Elusa said hurriedly, looking around warily.

"Oh......" Lucy didn't know what Elusa had found, but Lucy did so and began to walk around.

At the same time, Elusa also paid attention to the space around her, she did find some problems, not the breeze, not Lucy said like under the trees, these days are also there, but there was the sun at that time, these breezes could not make people feel cool, what really made her feel that there was a problem was the air in this breeze, a trace of obvious fresh air, this kind of air she had smelled many times, the air only existed in the dense forested jungle, and on a mountain like Zonia, this kind of air would never exist, even if this air was the forest under Zonia, but it could not be so clear。

There is only one answer, and that is true, as Loki expected, once the night falls, the power of the barrier that surrounds Dronia will weaken.

"Elusa, there's no response" Lucy had already walked around, but to no avail.

Elusa looked at the mountain, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, "Let's go up another hundred meters" I don't know what is in the enchantment, but she can't take the risk, and at this time, she and Lucy are here, a hundred meters is neither long nor short, this is the distance she can accept, and at this distance, she feels that she is still sure to protect Lucy's safety.

"Before I go, Lucy, you go behind......" Elusa said and walked slowly up, she was so prepared before leaving, Lucy needed to be at ease to see the existence of the enchantment.

Just like that, she walked up another hundred meters, "Still no response" Elusa looked at Lucy.

"No, nothing......" Lucy shook her head.

"Impossible, is it my delusion?" Elusa frowned instead, her feelings were wrong? Is it really the smell of the forest at the foot of the mountain that is blowing in the wind?

Elusa looked around again, it was indeed calm, she couldn't see anything, there was nothing abnormal, and she could still smell the smell of fresh air when she smelled the air carefully.

The enchantment should exist, otherwise those who died would not know how to explain it, after all, there are only two people now, she and Lucy, you can't take the risk and you can only wait for tomorrow, "Lucy, let's go back" Thinking about these things, Elusa turned around and prepared to walk towards the foot of the mountain, but this turn suddenly made her stunned?

At this moment, Elusa's face turned extremely pale.

And Lucy, at this time, her face also changed greatly, she was obviously following behind Elusa, obviously very close, I don't know what happened Lucy stepped on a stone under her feet, and then fell forward, it stands to reason that this fall will hit Elusa, but in fact she fell directly to the ground, fell on the ground with grass, and when she got up, she saw that there was a small stone at her feet, which seemed to be the stone that made her fall.

However, this is not important, what matters is the place where I am now, the forest? No, it should be just a grove, magic, holding her key Lucy has found that her magic has failed, and there is no Elusa around.

"Elusa?...... Elusa?" Lucy still tried to scream a few times, but unfortunately there was no response, and Lucy didn't dare to scream loudly in the night, what should I do, I fell inexplicably and entered the enchantment, and I can't use my own magic, if there is a monster or something, I really don't have any power to fight back, relying on the faint moonlight Lucy found that this place is similar to the terrain not long ago, that is to say, this is the mountainside of Dronia? Thinking of this, Lucy took a few steps and looked down the hill from a wide place, and then saw something familiar, the tent, which was the resting place of the Wizard Guild.

Looking back at the peak of Zonia, surrounded by dense trees, peeking out of the cracks in the trees, Lucy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although it was a good opportunity now, but the magicians of death still reminded her that this was not the time to take risks, it was better to go down the mountain, thinking of this, Lucy immediately walked down the mountain.

There aren't a lot of trees in the place where Lucy is, and the big block is the reason why it's on the edge of the enchantment, and the place where the woods stop growing is the end of the enchantment, and this distance is just about a hundred meters, and this distance is the distance between herself and Elusa crossed.

Lucy ran very fast, the distance of 100 meters was only ten seconds to cross, as long as she took one more step, she should be able to get out of the barrier, but Lucy stepped down, her eyes reflected the scene of the scenery flying, and the next second she appeared in another place, and at the same time almost stepped on the air to make her fall again.

"Eh......" looked at the trees around her, which were obviously much denser, and Lucy's forehead overflowed with obvious cold sweat.

"Didn't you say that you can easily leave the enchantment, Loki said that he was wrong" At this time, Lucy only had one thought in her heart, and once again thought that those magicians who had turned into dried corpses Lucy was really panicked this time, she was still too naïve, if she could leave easily, those people would not become dry corpses.

What should I do? Lucy looked around nervously for fear of something terrible appearing, but Lucy still walked down, she would never dare to go up, even if something appeared, if it was on the edge of the barrier, she still had a chance to escape.

A few minutes later, Lucy walked to the edge of the barrier again, this time she didn't dare to walk out casually, if what happened just now happened again, once she was sent to the most dangerous place, she would really be finished.

However, the bad luck was really on Lucy, and as soon as she reached the edge of the barrier, she heard a slight footstep behind her.

This footstep instantly made Lucy's nerves tense to the extreme, listening to the sound, it seemed to be the footsteps of human beings, and it was very light with the sound of stepping on a tree branch, as Lucy's tense nerves Lucy gradually saw the person, ten meters away, a person shrouded in a black cloak appeared, and the moment he saw this person, a white light flew towards him, the enemy! Lucy crossed the barrier in an instant, and the surrounding scenery flew again Lucy was sent to a certain place in Zonia again.

"It's dangerous......" Lucy's back was already wet with cold sweat at this time, and the killing intent of that white light was extremely terrifying, fortunately, she had faced the same terrifying killing intent as Akunoria, otherwise she might be finished.

However, before Lucy could breathe, Lucy felt a pain in the joints of her hands and feet, and in an instant she fell to the ground weakly, and the moment she fell to the ground, she saw a small dagger composed of light at the joints of her hands, "How could it ......"

"Stupid guy, you want to run away in my realm too?" followed by a young female voice.

The voice appeared in the direction of Lucy's head, and Lucy, who fell to the ground, also raised her head to look in that direction, not far away, a person in a black cloak was standing there, she couldn't see the face of the cloak girl clearly in the night, and she couldn't feel any magic on the cloak girl, only pure killing intent, and an incomparably huge pressure.

"Wait, I just accidentally fell in" Damn it, really dying, Lucy yelled in a hurry.

"That's what those people said before," the cloak woman said coldly, forming at least twenty daggers of light around her.

Seeing that the twenty or so light daggers were facing him, Lucy's heart was cold, and in the blink of an eye, Lucy remembered the words that Xia Lulu had analyzed before, and at the moment when these light daggers shot at her, Lucy shouted again, "I know where Akuno Rolia is"

As if it worked, the light dagger stopped ten centimeters in front of her.

Gamble right, Lucy was about to cry, and the feeling of walking back from the door of death was so painful.

"I know Akunorolia is there now, are you waiting for him" Although temporarily escaping the god of death, Lucy hurriedly said according to her own thoughts.

However, as soon as this sentence was uttered, the light dagger that had stopped for more than twenty years pierced directly into Lucy's body, and in an instant Lucy screamed, pain, extremely painful, and at the same time she also felt as if she had said the wrong thing there.

"It turned out to be your ......" The cloak girl said at this point, which made Lucy look surprised.
