My name is Akatosh,

This is how to enter...... A bit of déjà vu?

—4E, 201, Frost Moon, 5th, 19:43 -

This time he did not wake up in the "passage", which Arthur regrets and rejoices about.

After all, the ongoing "saving the world" is not very realistic, and Alduin and his minions are quite weak at the moment, and all he has to do is to interrupt the other party's plan to destroy the world once it goes smoothly at the initial stage.

In contrast, it is more rewarding to save a friend who is clearly in danger of death in the cracks of time, even if she herself does not know about it.

These thoughts were only a matter of moments, and when he found himself in the air after passing through the "whirlpool" and began to fall downward, Arthur had to quickly find a solution.

There was no sun, moon, or stars in the "sky" above, only a large, narrow "wound" that was faintly shining white light, as if it had been torn by some weapon.

Below, as far as the eye could see, there was a thick white fog, so it was impossible to see the specific situation on the ground, whether it was flat or an abyss.

Whew——Just as Arthur was considering whether to transform into a dragon, his body suddenly lightened, and his falling speed slowed down instantly.

"Don't act rashly," Zela Pesh, who appeared beside him, also cast a slow-fall spell on himself, keeping his height roughly the same as Arthur, and said, "This place is different from Cold Harbor, and it will be difficult to reunite if everyone is lost in the fog." ”

"Everyone?" Arthur looked around puzzledly.

Hoo-hoo--Amir, Ladia, and Sophie's figures appeared out of thin air beside him, and then Zela's eyes quickly slowed down with a slow-fall spell.

"It was supposed to be the first time I crossed it as a space-time anchor, but something seems to have gone wrong," she casually straightened Emile's somewhat unkempt hair, then turned her head and pushed Sophie to Arthur, "Why do you have more space-time weight than me?" ”

"Can I say I didn't understand what you're saying?" Arthur spread his hands, and then took Sophie, since she didn't face Alduin, it didn't matter if she didn't have to turn into a dragon.

"I don't understand either, it's just repeating...... It's just a noun in the book," Zela said to him, but it wasn't like it at all: "Anyway, it's about to enter the fog, everyone get closer." ”

"Woohoo! Going to die, going to die! Barbas emerged from the sky and spun downward, and Arthur grabbed the dog with a quick hand.

The next moment, everyone sank into an endless fog.

——20:04——

The phenomenon of clouds, or fog, is not so dense that it is exaggerated, it is impossible to achieve the level of "white in front of the eyes" and "no fingers can be seen", and in most cases it will only gradually narrow the visual range of those who are in it according to its concentration.

And this fog that envelops the entire "Songgard" has an internal visual range of about ten meters, which is enough for those caught in it to cope with most of the situation.

However, to Arthur's surprise, despite the small visual range near the surface, the "wound" in the sky and the light it emitted were still clearly visible, and there was no need to light torches or use lighting spells.

"Hmm...... Traces of the sky? Nicole Nicole Nicole? After muttering two words that were inexplicably incantation-like, Zela ignored it entirely.

"Baron, an enemy is approaching."

With the help of the Slow Fall, they managed to land in a small forest, but before they could take a closer look at their surroundings, Lydia had already raised their shields in front of the team.

"Oh?" Arthur put down Sophie, drew his sword out of its sheath, and looked at the position of Lydia's warning, since this is Songgard, then of course the enemy is not wrong, and it should be a great advantage to use the "Sword of Oath and Victory" against them.

Then, a snow leopard, two elk, a boar, three frost spiders, five snow wolves, and a huge white bear came out of the woods, their eyes all glowing red like fire.

"This ......" Arthur was surprised, not because they were too strong, or because the animals were mixed up and didn't fight, but because they were obviously the animals he had killed after the events of Helgen.

"Can Sophie eat them?" The little girl clutches Arthur's armor.

"No...... Wait until Dad has double-checked them. Arthur patted her little head.

"Wang! Strange, why are all these guys' hostility directed at Arthur? Barbas's keen perception validated Arthur's guess.

"Probably because I was a hunter before I became a baron?" Arthur suppressed his suspicions for a moment, put his sword into its sheath, and then folded his hands to summon a violet-glowing elven longbow out of thin air.

"The spell model is too rough to last long." The Chief Mage of Wintercastle on the side commented.

"No way, two-handed swords are completely unsuitable for dealing with swift wild animals...... Well, probably wild animals. Arthur opened his bow and arrows, and the first thing was a three-star series of beads to nail all three frost spiders to death.

Then, Amir, who disappeared as soon as Ladia said "there is an enemy", appeared behind the snow leopard, its throat severing with a single flash of a jet-black dagger.

Sneer-sand--

Contrary to expectations, the spider and the snow leopard did not fall to the ground after being killed, the red light in their eyes disappeared after being fatally wounded, while their bodies remained in their previous posture and were directly scattered into ashes.

"Ah......h

Why is it so much like the way a vampire dies? Why is their "death" not visible at all? And, what exactly does the blue fire in the eyes of the ghouls and other undead, the yellow fire in the eyes of vampires, and the red fire in the eyes of the "creatures" in this world have to do with it? Finally, if they were really the wild animals they had killed, wouldn't they represent ......

"Woohoo!!" "Boom!" The sound of fangs and shields colliding summoned Arthur, who was a little distracted, and he realized that the boar had taken the opportunity to rush over, but was stopped by Ladia raising his shield, and its strength was not at all like that of an ordinary boar.

As Babas said, the beasts were all targeting Arthur, and even though Emile had killed the snow leopard in front of them without stealth or stealth, their next move was to pounce on him because he was unable to attack again in a short period of time because of his use of the Arrow Technique.

Wild boars and snow bears attack head-on, while snow wolves and elks take advantage of their speed to circle around the squad in search of opportunities.

"Woohoo!" Although they seem to have been strengthened in different ways, the deer are still deer, and Babas happily chases after the two deer and bites them to death, and when the light in their eyes is extinguished, they are also reduced to ashes.

There's no time to hesitate or hesitate now! Arthur shook his hand and dispersed the "summoning bow", gently pushed Sophie away, and then picked up the golden sword and rushed towards the two large animals that were ramming Laea's shield: "Zela! Amy! The wolves will be handed over to you! ”

"Tsk, Amir?" Zela sighed deeply, and with her sigh, a ring of frost spread, just enough to freeze the snow wolves in place without affecting the white bears and boars in front of them.

“…… Finish. Amir's figure flickered behind several wolves, and when she returned to Zela, the heads of the snow wolves had just flown up and turned to ashes in the next second.

"Ahh......hh

"Good way~This is for you to eat~" The female mage somehow found two donuts and stuffed them to the little princess who came to invite merit and Sophie, who seemed to be crying.

While they may think it's a waste of time, it's still a necessary act of scouting, and Arthur finally slashes the two giants to ashes with his sword after dodging dozens of attacks from wild boars and white bears, and trying to get hit by them a few times.

The conclusion of the investigation is that the physical fitness of these "ash creatures" has been greatly enhanced, and their strength and speed have also been significantly improved, while in contrast, their physique and defense have been weakened to the same extent, and they are neither undead nor demons, so they cannot activate the special abilities of the longsword.

For example, it is impossible for Arthur's demon armor to be left traces by the fangs of a wild boar, but every time he is picked by this "ash boar", it must be a pit, and it is impossible for a normal giant snow bear to be killed by the "Sword of Oath and Victory" that does not activate special abilities.

"This 'Songgard' is completely different from the legend," Arthur did not put away his weapons even after the battle, but put on a vigilant posture: "We must find a safe place, at least get out of this wood." ”

"So? Just follow this path? Zela pointed to a forest path that had been neglected because of the battle it had just arrived.

"If there is a road, it means that someone has walked it, but if they become like these animals...... Can you still be considered a human being? Ladia voiced Arthur's same concerns.

"If you don't know what to do with it, throw it to Sophie and eat Wang." Barbas said irresponsibly.

"No, you can't give Sophie something of unknown origin." Arthur flatly refused.

"Sophie hates Daddy!" The little girl poked her head out from behind Zela and shouted, then continued to share snacks with Amir.

"Hmm......" Arthur naturally wouldn't be hit by the little girl's angry words, but if you think about it, Sophie is indeed safer to stay by Zela's side than herself, so she made a helpless expression and walked forward along the forest path with her sword in hand.

Due to the appearance of these "ash creatures", Arthur can't be sure if the environment of "Songard" is the same as the Overworld, but at least the common sense should not be too different, for example, this kind of path that is not a beast path belongs to the "ranger", that is, his adoptive father used to be in charge of the job, according to observation, this path is often walked, so the "ranger's hut" should be nearby.
