Chapter 37: Necromancy
In the dining room of Crescent Manor, the maid carried away the empty bowl from which Lucia had finished drinking, looking at the little red liquid remaining in the bowl, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but speed up a few steps as she walked past Lucia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 InfoLucia, who was treated like a monster, didn't take this to heart at all, and all she could think about now was Rhodes and, of course, the gem in his hand.
Xuanyu had no expression on his face, and dropped a sentence of "follow me" and disappeared in front of him. Lucia wasn't surprised, she was able to accurately capture the location of the jade, and at the same time, she had mastered the ability to teleport, without having to recite those lengthy spells, magic, and become a part of the body, which was a great feeling!
Reappears, in the attic of Crescent Manor Castle. Even though it is an attic, the area is also very large, and there are no cobwebs in Lucia's impression, and the place is spotlessly cleaned. There wasn't just one room in the attic, Lucia was facing a closed door, and it was clear that the room she was in was connected to another.
Xuanyu stood behind Lucia, his face expressionless, and he said quietly: "Zero, aren't you trying to save him?" ”
Lucia turned around, although she had a slight complaint about the title of "zero", but the Xuanyu in front of her gave her an unprecedented sense of oppression, under the powerful aura of the other party, Lucia had no chance to resist and room to retreat, her brain only sent her a signal of absolute obedience, and she nodded respectfully.
Then Xuanyu said: "The image just now is from the day you were arrested, and this room just happened to be a passage for you." ”
"Huh?" Lucia didn't understand what Xuanyu meant, but she soon saw what Xuanyu called "channel" reads.
Xuanyu didn't say much, he motioned with his eyes for Lucia to take a few steps back. Then raise a hand and draw a large circle in the air. Fingers pierced through the air and a cyan flame rose in vain, burning towards the center. The center of the circle, which should have been visible at a glance, gradually turned black due to burning. Obviously in the air, but with such an effect, Lucia opened her eyes wide and continued to look. When the black covered the entire circle, a huge black hole was formed, and if you looked closely, there was water ripples flowing in the hole.
"It's ......" Lucia curiously put her hand into the hole, there were fluctuations in the air current, and ...... Just before she could fully digest the touch at this moment, Xuanyu pushed her in.
"Ah――――――――――h His body was sinking rapidly, as if he was in a deep mire, but he was breathing smoothly, and before he was completely swallowed by the black hole, he saw the corners of Xuanyu's mouth at the entrance of the cave slightly raised.
Lucia felt her body floating in the universe, without a reference, up and down, her body flipped, and the dots of light passed in front of her eyes, not knowing whether the light was moving or herself. Fortunately, this state did not last long, and Lucia was thrown out with a dazzling white light in front of her.
Her body was flexible enough to balance in an instant like a cat. Roll over in the air, stand firm, and quickly look around. It was a dark night, and a blood-colored moon hung in the dark night sky. The cold wind blew through her clothes, and she was torn and desolate all around, and in front of her was a church-like building, which stood silently in this magical scene except for the glimmer of light on the surface of the large clock on the roof. There was a sound of fighting in his ears, and when he turned around, he saw Rod, just like in the mirror image of the soup bowl, covered in blood and extremely weak. He was surrounded by five or six necromancers wrapped in black-brown crust, and the blood on their fangs showed that Rhodes had been wounded by them.
I see, Lucia instantly understood Xuanyu's intentions, and the meaning of the so-called passage. Before she had time to admire Xuanyu's mana, Lucia rushed towards Rod's encirclement.
More surprised than Lucia should have been Rhodes. How did the little girl who was dumped at the Royal Theater follow her? Of course, the current Rod didn't know what Lucia had experienced, he was just worried that he had caused her to be a problem, after all, these necromancers were difficult to deal with.
"Run! They're going to kill you! Rod shouted as he waved his hand vigorously for Lucia to go away. But apparently not very effective.
Rod's good-natured suggestion was not accepted, on the contrary, Lucia at this time was full of fighting spirit, like a bullfight that had been held for a long time. This level of necromancy is not a threat to Lucia now. Necromancy is the product of a magician, originally the bones of the dead, but after being enchanted with a spell, they have no pain, no sense, no mind, once they have established a target, they will continue to fight until they are reduced to ashes. However, there are also levels in the necromancy, with those besieging Rhodes belonging to the lower ranks, who will only use purely physical attacks, while those who are advanced can cast magic, but the magicians who have to cast spells are from Sasuke.
It's just that Lucia is not a problem dealing with these low-level necromancers. She snatched Rod's short knife, her body flexibly dodged the opponent's attack, and slashed at a very fast speed, the strength was amazing, the knife was inserted into the enemy's heart, and with a twist, with Lucia's "scatter", the necromancer suddenly stood still, and then turned into a white bone, scattered like a collapsed building block. 、
In Rod's view, Lucia was like a whirlwind, calmly maneuvering among several dead spirits, and the moves were so fast that he was dazzled, and he was amazed by such a scene and Lucia's skills, obviously in his memory, she was not a person who was good at martial arts...... Could it be that she has always had reservations? While Rhodes was thinking, Lucia's side had stopped fighting, and all the necromancy had been wiped out.
Is it really that simple? Ignoring Rhodes, Lucia intuitively felt that something was wrong, and she looked around alertly, and suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, which, instead of whetting her appetite, choked her a little. It's not your average gore, it's mixed with something else. Lucia followed the scent, which came from the dilapidated church. Lucia's eyes narrowed, she felt something was wrong at first, and sure enough. Before he had gone far in the direction of the church, there was a seeping cry and Rhodes' shout. Looking back, he found that the necromancer, who had been torn apart, stood up again, and this time instead of besieging Rod, he attacked Lucia directly.
It turned out to be Spiritism! Quite advanced magic, using Spiritism to manipulate necromancy to attack targets. Even if the necromancer is subdued, it will be reborn again and again. If you continue to entangle like this, it will greatly consume your physical strength. But seeing the necromancer rushing over, Lucia could only deal with it again. Soon, all the necromancers fell under her daggers, but she knew that soon they would get up again. Spiritism is a short-range magic, which means that the person manipulating the necromancy must be nearby, and the church is very suspicious.
As the saying goes, if you capture the thief and capture the king first, good steel must be used on the blade, and you must first subdue the person who controls the necromancy! Thankfully, it will take some time for the Necronomicon to come back to life, and Lucia hastened her actions.
She threw the dagger back to Rod: "Brother, hold on a little longer. ”
Looking at each other, Rod understood what she meant in an instant. He clenched the short knife, slowly stood up, and patted his chest: "Don't underestimate me, I'm the leader of the wild wolves!" ”
Lucia smiled and ran briskly towards the church.
