Chapter 3: Lucky Escape

When I came back to my senses, the girl was still using magic against me, and even though she hadn't done it yet, I felt as if I had already died once. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In short, I suddenly collapsed for some unknown reason, and now I don't even seem to have the strength to survive.

We can only sit here like this, waiting for this death.

"Wait for me!"

Almost as soon as I fell into despair, a silvery sound suddenly broke the silence of the space.

"What?"

Hearing this, the black girl immediately jumped backwards, and the position where she had stood a moment ago was swept away by a fierce flame in the blink of an eye.

The heat cleared, and a woman with long fiery red hair, red eyes, a hat, a cloak, and a blue figure similar to the chivalrous customer service in a martial arts novel stood in front of me, and she looked back at me, and I saw her face as a result—with a mask that you could buy at the supermarket for about 10 yuan.

Although she was wearing a mask, the moment I met her eyes, I sensed that she was a little familiar, but I honestly couldn't think of who it was.

But the appearance of this girl saved my life.

Someone must come to the rescue in a critical moment, is this also the power of the protagonist?

Just when I was thinking so-

She turned to face the black girl and said in a somewhat angry tone.

"This guy is my target, Olivia."

"You're not here to save me!?"

"Oh, it looks like you know who I am, but I haven't heard of you. After all, you elementalists like to wear this kind of mask, and I can't tell who's who. ”

"Just call me Lucy."

"Lucy, when did you still have such a cliché name? Well, none of your elementalist names are true anyway. But since you're using elemental magic, you're a conservative elementalist, my enemy! ”

With that, the black orb condensed from Olivia's side again, and the girl who called herself Lucy pulled out a thin sword similar to that used by ancient swordsmen from her waist, and in the blink of an eye, the thin sword ignited a strong flame.

The next moment, the courtyard of the apartment, which should have been passed by every day, turned into a battlefield of flames and black power.

I don't know what was going on in front of me, but it seemed that the target of these two girls was me.

No matter who wins or loses, I will definitely be the unlucky one in the end, and I don't want to die.

With that in mind, I stood up and tried to get out of this place.

"Ahh

As I walked, I noticed that I was unable to move from the pain just now, but I was able to stand up, and the trauma on my body was almost better in the blink of an eye.

"This is magic, too?"

At least I don't have the ability to recover from speeding, and if I don't, I wouldn't have to practice the ability to dodge trouble.

In retrospect, probably because I was too nervous, I had forgotten the pain of the wound since the girl named Lucy appeared, didn't I forget?

But no matter what, I don't have the time to think about it. Before a black orb could smash into my side, I leapt into the nearby woods.

……

While the two of them were confronting each other with magic, I kept running into the distance, but I didn't get far before I was blocked by a transparent barrier that I couldn't get past anyway.

It seemed that the black maiden Olivia had long been prepared to prevent me from escaping, and I, without magic, seemed powerless in front of these people who could drive magic.

If I wanted to survive, I had to run away, but no matter how hard I tried, no matter what direction I came from, I couldn't jump out of this barrier.

"Damn, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

I yelled and kicked at the invisible wall, but it was more like a magic that spatially separated the two worlds than the wall.

Since it's magic, it naturally can't be opened with the brute strength of an ordinary person like me.

I knew that I would never be able to open it, and I knew that there could be no exit, but when it came to life and death, I seemed to have forgotten what it was to give up.

It's ridiculous to think about it, I'm usually indifferent to life, but I am willing to do anything when it comes to deciding life and death.

And just like that, before I knew it, the sound of fire and black energy colliding disappeared, and I fell into despair, presumably I must have been killed by the victorious side of the two of them.

There was no way to dodge, and I used all my strength to sit in place and sit like this for a long time.

I wanted to write a suicide note to my family, but my phone and coat were blown into slag by Olivia in the explosion just now.

However, after waiting for a long time, neither Olivia nor Lucy came to me.

With fear and a hint of hope, I cautiously returned to the place where they had fought.

In front of me, two people were lying on their stomachs in the courtyard that had been blown up like they had lost their bones.

It feels like I've saved my life again, but looking at the two of them, I feel like I've been tricked.

I narrowed my eyes.

"You two, what's wrong?"

"The magic has been used up." Lucy writhed in the snow, but she couldn't even roll over. Apparently due to the loss of her magical powers, Lucy's hair changed from fiery red back to black.

On the other side, Olivia, who saw me, struggled to climb two steps forward.

"If you don't complete the mission—"

However, it seems that they have run out of magic like Lucy, and they are no threat to me now.

As Olivia fell, the surrounding space was like a shattered piece of glass, and in an instant, the bombed-out courtyard was completely restored, and some figures could be faintly seen nearby.

If it weren't for the fact that the two girls were still lying next to me, I would have believed that the previous battle had not happened at all.

"This is the Magister's deception space." Lucy said to me suddenly.

"Deception space?"

"Replace the original space with the same space as this courtyard prepared in advance, and then change the space back after you enter, Zhao Jie, so as to erase a person in another space without leaving a trace.

When the caster's magic is unable to sustain the magic, the space will revert to its original state. ”

"So you were playing in a parallel space that looks like this courtyard."

"That's right, after all, neither we nor they want ordinary humans to discover the existence of magic, even if they fight, they can't involve ordinary people, this is a treaty that must be observed."

"Yes......"

Hearing Lucy say this, I looked curiously at a mysterious creature about 20 meters away from me.

Although it looks humanoid, its arms are like that of a praying mantis, consisting of two scythes, and its coffee-colored head has no facial features, except for a large compound eye in the middle.

No matter how you look at it, this is also inseparable from the magician.

And the monster, when it saw us, came this way.

"Hey, that thing that looks like a magical creature seems to have come straight over the treaty in defiance of this treaty."
