A fleeting sense of peeping came from behind him, and Leo looked back with a frown. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The pitch-black cave was quiet, and although the [Soul Suppression] in his hand illuminated the periphery, the darkness inside seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, like the eye sockets of human beings deep into it.

"It seems that you can't just leave."

He sighed a little bored, carrying Fern's corpse in one hand and quietly touching the knight's sword behind him with the other.

Since it was a hassle to drag a package full of fifteen knightly swords, just in case, Leo borrowed a special belt from the knight's guard and pinned three knightly swords behind him.

However, he has a lot of concerns, in addition to Lindsay, the battle space here is also unusually small, and if you use [Silver Moon Slash] or [Drift Fire Strike] recklessly, it is likely that the passage will collapse, and everyone will be flooded by the lake.

"Huh?"

Iros on the side showed a very surprised expression, feeling the fluctuations of the magic around him with some seriousness, but found nothing.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, it's just that you're overthinking."

With the Luna Clan's sensitivity to fluctuations in magical power, Iros said in a determined tone, and she couldn't help but feel a little amused as she watched Leo's actions as he prepared to meet the enemy.

Although Leo's strength is strong, his sensitivity to magic is far less than hers, and even she didn't find anything strange, how could he find out?

The strange feeling disappeared without a trace long before he turned his head, and he held his breath for a while, and naturally found nothing.

It was likely that his senses had been skewed, but he thought it was more likely that this was a crisis that Iros couldn't see.

Although he had a lot of trust in Iros, he gradually increased his vigilance.

Sensing that the blue light did not continue to move, and the road ahead was no longer clear, the knight guard who was walking in front turned around with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Mr. Leo, has something happened?"

Leo's appearance was motionless, and his other hand touched the knight's sword, and the knight guard instantly became nervous, and directly pulled out the knight's sword he carried with him.

Lindsay also stopped, looking around with wide eyes.

The blade and scabbard touched each other, and there was a slight grinding sound, along with a lightning-fast wriggling sound.

When Leo realized that it was an extremely rapid wriggling sound, a dark purple liquid erupted from the cracks in the stone bricks on both sides, instantly sealing the surroundings of the three of them completely.

"How-"

Iros was shocked, and his teeth clenched subconsciously.

At this moment, she woke up to the fact that although the magic prohibition formed by these stone bricks in the passage under the lake was dilapidated, it could still hide the magic fluctuations to a large extent, and she was only in a phantom state now, so it was normal not to perceive the crisis.

"Ding! Your skill [Demon Guardian] has been released! ”

The pale blue shield suddenly opened, enveloping him, Iros, and Lindsay beside him.

The dark purple liquid didn't seem to have any destructive power, and the moment it hit the hard shield, it flattened down, like a puddle of mud that slowly slid down and fell to the stone brick floor.

The knight guard was drenched in purple liquid, quickly took out the white potion from his arms, and drank it, his expression still unconcealed nervous.

Although he had taken the vitality potion, it was inevitable that these purple liquids were strange and poisonous liquids, and cold sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead and back.

Although the stone brick walls on both sides were still spilling dark purple liquid, the speed was much slower, the air was filled with a sour smell, and the knight guards seemed to be fine, everything seemed to be a child's prank.

"Whew, like, there's nothing bad about it."

The knight guard took deep breaths and touched his chest in some horror, his expression gradually calming down.

“・・・”

Leo looked away from the knight guards and looked back at the dark purple liquid beyond the Demon Guardian, which had stopped moving as they slid off the barrier.

Is it just colored, ordinary polluted water?

"This is the polluted water spirit, it should be nearby, damn it, my current magic can't break through the prohibition on these stone bricks, cunning guy!"

Iros's voice was a little anxious, and the blue light on her body was shining, but judging by her frustrated expression, it was of little use.

"Wait, why?"

The knight guard suddenly fell to his knees. His body staggered as if he was drunk, and he soon passed out on the stone brick floor covered with dark purple liquid, and the sour smell seemed to be even stronger.

"I'll take a look, the power of the water spirit can't hurt me yet, don't worry."

Iros whispered to Leo and ran towards the fallen knight guard.

"There's a faint corrosive magic in these dark purple liquids, he should just pass out."

"Although their corrosive magic has weakened a lot, judging from the residual aura, there is no doubt that they are demons."

As soon as she finished speaking, all the dark purple liquid scattered everywhere suddenly shook, and lightning converged into a dark purple palm, which directly hit Lindsay's back.

Leo reacted quickly, but he only frowned and looked at the place where the dark purple liquid flowed out, and he didn't mean to make a move.

The huge dark purple palm trembled like an electric shock when it approached a certain distance, and the time of two breaths strangely turned into mist before disappearing.

The magic emitted by the huge palm just now was not strong, and Lindsay had a [Second Shelter] on her body, so he didn't worry too much, but kept an eye on the place where the liquid appeared, in case it had another movement.

The sudden sound of breaking the air came from overhead, Leo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly raised the knight's sword and cast [White Heat].

The staggered sword light sliced the long dark purple strip into several pieces, and the surging magic forced it back, but it was not intended to attack Leo.

The block-like strip suspended in mid-air exploded, and the invisible suction force passed through the [Demon Guardian], wrapped around Fern on Leo's shoulder, and pulled it violently.

"What do you want a corpse for?"

Leo was a little surprised, but he couldn't let the other party do that.

"Ding! Skill [Drift Fire Strike] has been released! ”

"Ding! Skill [Drift Fire Strike] release terminated! Current Charge 10/10! ”

Slightly releasing some of the fire power of the [Wang Yan Talisman], the pale golden sparks scattered in all directions, and the strange attraction disappeared suddenly.

Using the power of fire to fight against the water spirits who can't catch their tracks is Leo's whim, and it succeeds well.

Scattered dark purple liquid wriggled and converged in front of Leo, twisting into an enlarged elephant trunk monster, the familiar demonic aura emanating from it.

It's a monster that has never been seen before in "Sword of the Riptide", Leo thought so, gave up his plan to strike first, and carried Fern on his shoulder, and Lindsay kept backing away with a surprised expression.

"Your fire magic just did a lot of damage to it, and it's afraid of you now."

Iros whispered as Leo stepped back.

"A little farther away, Lindsay."

Leo stared at the dark purple water spirit in front of him and whispered, and the latter quickly stepped back, but did not leave the range of the [Soul Suppression].

"Ding! Skill [Drift Fire Strike] has been released! ”

"Ding! Skill [Drift Fire Strike] release terminated! Currently charged 10/10!"

The scattered golden sparks made it retreat, but its skull-like spot was still dead on Fern Leo's shoulder.

Finally, it seemed to have made a decision, and the skull-like place was facing Leo.

"Keys are exchanged."

To the surprise of Leo, Lindsay, and even Iros, the monster suspected of being a demon spoke the lingua franca of Astaire, and although it was not very fluent, it was pronounced clearly and pronounced correctly.

"Although ordinary water spirits have wisdom, this is really the first time I've seen such a thing as learning human language."

Iros squinted at the dark purple spirit, his tone a little puzzled.

The water spirit is a rare spirit monster born in the lake, just like the grass and trees gather the wood element to give birth to magic, in the big forest full of monsters, the water spirit is a small monster in the scene in the lake.

"Exchange keys?"

Leo calmly watched the Dark Purple Water Spirit, and with the help of Iros, he found a pale golden key from Fern's arms.

It's not so much a key as it is a work of art.

The lower part is dazzling flowing gold, the upper part is a ring engraved with strange symbols, and the size of the key is not small, so it is no wonder that Fern wants to carry it in his arms.

Item Name: LV5 [Key].

Category: Carry props.

Effect: Unknown.

Extra: A beautifully crafted key with special magical powers.

Unexpectedly, this was still a prop, Leo couldn't help but think of the key he found after hitting the evil god in the ruins of Gauduner, which was the key to the gate of the ruins, but that one was only LV0.

If you guess like this, this LV5 key in your hand can also open another door to an unknown ruin?

At the end of the passage under the lake, is it the gate of ruins?

Putting the mess out of his mind, Leo came back to his senses, placed Fern's body beside the knight guard, looked at the dark purple water spirit who became excited because he saw the key, and sneered, "So what do you exchange for something?" ”

"Your... life, only, yours."

The dark purple skull seemed to have cracked a hideous opening, and a strange sound came from it, very piercing.

It's so funny!

At the moment when the other party spoke, Leo unleashed the skill [Thrust], and the white light lit up by the knight's sword broke through the distance in the blink of an eye, directly cutting through the body of the dark purple water spirit.

The time between his swing of the sword and the slash was too short, and the opponent had no time to resist, and was cut off without any suspense.

However, the purple body that had fallen to the side immediately began to squirm, and there was a tendency to return to its original state.

[White Hot] + [White Hot]!

A raging sword wind with almost no gaps staggered, tearing the dark purple body into countless pieces.

However, with the previous lesson, he did not think that this was the complete killing of the monster.

"Ding! Skill [Drift Fire Strike] has been released! ”

"Ding! Skill [Drift Fire Strike] release terminated! Currently charged 9/10!"

It was released three times in fits and starts, and finally a whole charge was consumed, and the flying golden sparks weaved into thin fireworks, engulfing the dark purple smoke.
