Chapter Twenty-Three: The Destruction of the Plan?

Crossbell has 4 underground passages, and the Support Section has 8 people - plus silver.

Mathematically, there should be two people per place.

But in fact, the only people who can do this are idiots and dogmatists.

It is possible that the enemy is entrenched in underground passages, so it would be unwise to rashly disperse the combat power.

The method of the detachment is: Yu, Tatsumi, Silver, Ellie, and Hexu are in a group. Lloyd, Randy, Noelle, and Theo in a group.

The support department can't trust Silver yet, and in order to bridge this barrier, you must be in a team with Silver. These two people are in a group, and their combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. Ellie and Lotus are both support-oriented types, and a group of Yu's chains is a reasonable way to distribute them.

In the other group, You Randy and Noelle are the two main combat forces, and Lloyd acts as the brain and support. Theo deals with magical attacks.

Lloyd: They rushed to the entrance to the outskirts of the city. For Royd Randy and Theo, it was the place where they first went on a mission, and it was the most familiar.

Yu-Tatsumi, on the other hand, went to the underground passage of the old town.

Because......

The probability is highest here.

Of course, you didn't say this. If the enemy repeatedly targets the old city, if it is accidental, it is too coincidental, right?

"Oh, before me, there were good deeds sneaking in."

Silver said something inexplicable. Ellie stealthily turned the muzzle of her gun and aimed it at Silver's back. If she has the idea of making trouble, it is better to restrain her first.

Lixia noticed Ellie's small movements, and leaned over without a trace.

"Looks like I'm not trusted."

Softly, in Lisha's way.

"It's more terrifying to believe the words of the enemy, right?"

Agreeing to whisper, he answered in his own way.

On the walls of the underground passages of the old city, countless chaotic things that resembled magic arrays were painted, and now, they kept flashing a faint blue-purple light. The closer you get to the center, the more visible the light becomes. I didn't realize it near the entrance before, but now after twenty minutes of walking, the light is close to the brightness of the light bulb.

There is no doubt that the enemy has set up a summoning array here. Maybe it's to summon demons, maybe it's to generate mist. You and Lixia opened the road side by side, these two people have the highest combat effectiveness, so they naturally have to undertake the most dangerous pathfinding work.

After walking for about ten minutes, even Ellie couldn't help but sigh, how much money did these politicians embezzle to make such a long and useless underground passage? At that time, it was named as an underground parking lot and a drainage and ventilation system, but now it is difficult to park in the parking lot due to the difficult terrain, and the drainage and ventilation system also has other pipes. I can't think of any other purpose for this underground passage than corruption.

Then, right in the very center, the enemy's general came out.

He was dressed in black armor with golden lines painted on dragons and other beasts, his skin was pale, his eyes were cold, and his long black hair was braided on the ground.

The assassin nicknamed "Moon", Osiris.

"Seniors. It's been a long time. ”

He greeted calmly.

"Month? Should I say 'sure enough'? ”

You said coldly, glancing at him.

"No, I don't think you should say that, I'm not prepared to go against you. On the contrary, I went one step ahead of you and solved the stronghold set up by the phantom to defend against the demons. Honestly, some trouble. ”

You looked carefully, only to find that there were many scorched black marks on Yue's black clothes. There is a faint smell of burnt. Looks like I've fought against some monster before.

"I found out that this formation is done. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do with this kind of thing. I'm waiting for my seniors here. ”

Yue said very humbly. In his words, there is a kind of calmness that makes people anxious.

"Really?"

You looked around and smiled wryly.

"Destroy it. This thing, as long as the texture on it changes, it will be invalid. It is the lowest type of surgery. ”

Ellie asked with some curiosity, "Well, are you also Youjun's collaborator?" ”

"Yes. Below is the snake that devours the body, the executor NO.18, Osiris of the moon. ”

Hearing someone's question, Yue immediately responded. However, this answer surprised Ellie and Lixia.

"Hey, hey? It's obviously a snake that eats the body, but is it going to help us?! ”

Ellie asked in disbelief, and You felt her head grow for a while, how on earth could this be explained?

"Ah, to put it simply, I bought it."

You scratched his head with some difficulty. But Hexu quickly accepted it.

"Hey! It looks like it's amazing! ”

"Yes, little sister. He's just amazing. Yue bent down, and it could be seen that he wanted to make some gentle expressions, but in the end, he could only show a cold face.

"Hey~~" He Xu carefully looked at Yue's face.

"That, doesn't Osi-kun eat meat?"

The little face was full of doubts. But Yue's heart was more confused than her expression.

"Why do you ask?"

"My face is super bad!"

Listening to Hexu's innocent speech, Yue shook her head.

"That's a secret."

In the process of talking between the two, Lixia had already cleared up the surrounding magic array with You's help.

In fact, this kind of magic array is very easy to crack, Lixia simply cut off the paint on the wall, and immediately the light of the magic array dimmed.

"That's it?"

Lixia was still a little incredulous.

"Yes. That's it. Depending on the concentration of the fog, at most 20 minutes, the world will be back to light. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

Knox Forest.

"Fog ...... Seems to have scattered some? ”

Estelle muttered to herself, and in order to be more efficient, the three of them pulled out a circle and searched.

The fog was thickest in the Knox Forest, and she thought she was the right one.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"The fog has lifted."

"That's right."

The voices of the two men seemed to be chatting.

But, with these words, the sword-wielding man cut the chest of the man in the kimono again.

Scarlet blood gushed out, and then the swordsman made another slash that shaved off his head.

“…… Well, it's time for me to leave. ”

The kimono man announced, picked up his head, which had fallen to the ground, and put it back on his neck.

"Do you think I'm going to let you go?"

"Of course not. However, I was ready to run away. ”

As he spoke, the phantom fanned his hands, and the mist that had not yet dissipated immediately enveloped his figure, and Arios frowned, took a step forward, and slashed it with a swift slash.

This time, it was cut empty. The blade passed through his body, and there was no sense of cutting through anything.
