“…… It looks like a strange place. ”

The infinite clutter stretched as far as the horizon could reach, gradually revealing the expansiveness of the area with irregular displays, and the seemingly endless array of decayed tables, chairs, and seats were piled up around the snow and ice in a dilapidated manner, completely enclosing her position in the center. Looking at this scene with some trepidation, the white-haired female swordsman, who had stood in place for a long time, slowly stepped forward, trying to explore the boundaries of this wide hall, and at the same time fell on the surface of these tattered tables and chairs: "But-"

"Why do you want to do that?"

She frowned, and reached out to slowly brush away the thick dust that had accumulated on the surface of the chairs, and a few scratches that had been left on them were then reflected on the not-so-hard and sturdy looking tables and chairs, with traces of blood that had dried up to black. She let out two heavy coughs, and Xue Ling, who brushed the dust aside, then resisted the urge to call and took a deep breath, and the edge of the hall from the depths of the darkness then reflected her cough back, and wandered back and forth in a low voice in the feeling of emptiness: "This is ...... Traces of the battle. ”

"And it looks terrible."

His gaze spread out from the location of the scene he saw to the left and right, and the snow spirit phantom ice looked along the stacked tables and chairs towards the interior of the hall on the side, and the scattered tubular objects gradually appeared on the ground along with the fragments of some tables, chairs and unknown objects, emitting a metallic reflection in the dim light. Hesitantly picking up some of the fragments, the white-haired female swordswoman looked at the metal pipes for a while, and the familiar feeling came to her mind little by little as she swiped her fingers across the hollows and patterns on the metal pipes: "It's a bit like a thermal weapon of the old century." ”

"But it looks like it's being torn apart."

The fingertips covering the short-fingered gloves were caressed by the broken parts of the metal shards, and the frowning eyes of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice finally rested on the obvious bite marks: "Some kind of beast or monster or something that has bitten this barrel-like weapon directly into pieces...... Not. ”

She looked up, and her gaze suddenly fell on a corner behind a circle of stacked tables and chairs, and white of various sizes was scattered around a certain pillar in that corner in the shape of bones, gradually outlining the scene of a torn human corpse discarded here like rags. Taking a deep breath again, Xue Lingphantom Ice didn't rush over to check the details of those scattered white bones, carefully put the fragments in her hand on the ground, she then took two steps back, and her vigilant gaze began to keep sweeping around the entire hall: "...... I see. ”

"It's coming in from my direction."

She was silent for a moment, and from the dim vision she found a large number of claws and trailing marks again, and the circular obstacle that had been delayed by these marks then showed a gap at the end of that direction, and the scattered wooden shards gradually connected with the direction of the steps from which she had come: "They forced their way into the hall, then broke through the defenses, shredded the human resistance behind the lines, and then struck deeper into the direction. ”

"It was probably a long time ago." She touched the heavy dust attached to the surface of the wreckage, and then sighed in a low voice, "These monsters—"

"Are they still around here?"

Slowly turning her head, the white-haired woman began to notice the movement around her, and her gradually moving footsteps sent her body to the edge of the opening over time, leaping over the stacked barrier defense. The smell of decay began to attack her sense of smell, accompanied by more and more fragments of bone and claw marks that were thrown into the corners, and some of the sections of the walls and the obvious craters gradually appeared in the woman's field of vision as the darkness approached and swallowed: "...... There really were guns in this world, it's interesting. ”

"That kind of civilization often represents the weakness of mankind." Shaking her head, the female swordsman who was slowly moving forward involuntarily let out a sigh: "Without the protection of magic and martial arts, you can only use this extreme weapon to defend your life...... It's easy to say if it's an ordinary situation, but if it's in a world like this, where monsters are rampant and powerful enemies are everywhere—"

"This kind of power is simply vulnerable."

The white dragon's tooth sword flashed a thin line in her hand, slashing a black shadow flying through the air into the distance, and the roar of the beast then turned into a wounded howl in the intermingling with the thin shadow, and fell to the stacked tables and chairs behind her with the sound of blood splashing through the air. The sound of crackling and smashing then filled the empty space, accompanied by the hazy feeling of the sky when the fragments of tables and chairs and dust flew into the sky together, and the snow spirit phantom ice, whose vision was seriously disturbed, closed his eyes with bated breath, carefully distinguishing the muffled roars of other monsters coming from the dark depths ahead: "Well, no matter how long the battle here took place before, you are still alive now." ”

"Did I break into your lair?" She swung her sword to block another striking black shadow out of her body, and the voice that seemed to speak to herself echoed in the dark depths of those red eyes intertwined: "If you have wisdom, can you let me ask a question first?" ”

"Has anyone else been here before?"

The scarlet eyes then suddenly became rapid, drawing a series of zigzag red refractions in the pitch-black hall, and the roars from unknown enemies also continued to fill the ears of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice with the actions of these monsters that suddenly became fast. With his eyes closed, he kept watching for movements left and right, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice with the Dragon's Tooth Sword in one hand confronted these enemies in the darkness who were gradually surrounding, and the sparks emitted when the sword light collided with the metal also kept flashing in the darkness of this unknown realm, illuminating the chaotic scene of this hall again and again: "...... It was indeed her. ”

In a passage deep in the dark far hall, two figures gathered here hurriedly retracted their heads: "It's Snow Spirit Phantom Ice. ”

"How did she find this place?" Another dark shadow deliberately lowered his voice: "Isn't she still nodding in agreement?" ”

"Of course, we didn't bring her in." The dark shadow who had spoken earlier replied in a low voice, "We would have known about such a matter anyway, since we didn't know about it......"

"She must have barged in on her own."

Silence lasted for a moment in the dark air between the two men, in stark contrast to the sonorous sound coming from ahead: "...... The power of the empire is really not to be underestimated, and it is surprising that it has found such a hidden place so quickly. ”

"It's not that they haven't been in the Empire, their skills are indeed much better than those of the Duchy, but whether this place was investigated by the Empire's investigation team itself, I still have to be skeptical......"

"You mean to say that the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice broke in on its own? Is she so lucky? ”

"Except for the previous incident of the change in Sky City, her luck has always been very good, although she has been deleted and retrained, it is not impossible to bump into such a hidden location."

"The question now is whether or not we want to make a move."

The eyes of the two men met each other in the darkness, and finally projected between the intertwined lights and shadows of the darkness of the battlefield in front of them: "Help her?" Or solve her? ”

"Her presence is indispensable to accomplish our revenge, but this is the ...... We might not be able to do anything if we rushed in. ”

"It doesn't necessarily need to play any real role, as long as it can impress her, the messenger sent before has already given her a lot of material, as long as she can add another fire to this lonely battle-"

"Don't worry, don't rush to get started now, I see that she seems to be a little comfortable coping with it, it should be that her strength has grown a little recently......"

"Then wait? Or do you want to lure some monsters over? ”

The topic began to develop in the direction of the wicked, and the expressions of the two people who appeared in the darkness became much more ruthless, and a brilliant light then pierced the silence here, and at the same time interrupted the balance of the battlefield that was constantly bursting with brilliant sparks in the distance: "Who dares to break into this place?" ”

Whew!

The brilliant light formed a straight light in the air, suddenly lit up from the dark depths diagonally above the hall, piercing the entire darkness with a blazing ray that stinged everyone's eyeballs, leaving a deep mark on the spot where it fell. The scene of the melting of the scorched floor then remained in the center of the remaining light, and there was a piercing snort in the battlefield that was instantly quiet, and the snow spirit phantom ice, who had dodged this attack in an instant, slashed out a snowy sword light, slashing away the black shadow of another monster that had just been forced to retreat: "What a hard shell, but it's ......"

"It doesn't seem like there's time to deal with you now." She shook off her blade, and her indifferent gaze then fell to the spot where the previous light had appeared: "It seems that a greater enemy has appeared. ”

"Answer my question, who are you?" The voice that echoed through the darkness above the hall was still loud and terrifying: "Are you an accomplice to the intruder?" ”

"Intruder?"

Quickly looking left and right here, Xue Lingphantom Ice finally made a rough judgment of the situation in front of him: "It seems that I am the first person to break into here, no wonder there are no traces of footprints......"

The snorting sound of the ray fell from the diagonal top of the hall again, but this time it was blocked by the front pillar in front of the snow spirit phantom ice moving to the side, and the seemingly incomparably hot ray then burned the surface of the pillar into a large patch of bright red, and exploded in all directions with the large pieces of rubble around it: "You guys really broke into our realm and broke in front of me!" ”

"Looks like I'm going to teach you a deeper lesson!"

Bright light once again fell from the sky with a piercing sound, dispersing the darkness around it along with the howling monsters, and this time the laser ray attack didn't seem to be satisfied with leaving a hole in the ground as the end, but instead drew a crooked crimson trail from left to right. The Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, which was constantly running at the forefront of this trajectory, kept dodging left and right with the light of light, and then climbed over one obstacle after another made of abandoned tables, chairs and benches, and used this seemingly very powerful attack to drive away the surrounding monsters and black shadows, while continuing to taunt the voice from above: "You lair monster is incompetent, even your own kind of people are injured by mistake?" ”

"Who is the same as these inferior monsters? You humble adventurer! The voice noticeably became a little angrier: "I'm going to burn you to ashes with them!" It's like burning those cockroaches and bed bugs! ”

"So you're not a smart monster, are you?" Xue Ling's Phantom Ice voice provoked the other party in a low voice: "With such a powerful weapon, the attack method is so simple...... If even a three-legged cat like you can touch me, I'm afraid I'm going to be teased by him for a year? ”

"Don't be arrogant, to deal with ants like you, using a layer of 'Rayser' is enough."

The route of the light's attack skewed slightly, and then became stable again with the strong calm tone of the voice: "This is our territory, and we still have a lot of big killing weapons that we haven't used, but these weapons are not for you, but-"

"It's for us, isn't it?"

The familiar man's voice then sounded behind the mysterious voice, as if it came from the same source, and the voice that was constantly echoing in the sky was also a little off, as if someone was appearing behind him: "Hi. ”

"You! Where did you come from? ”

"Of course you touched it, but how did you touch it...... Ask my fist before you speak. ”

"You! You! Frost Ray! ”

The rays from the sky above the dark hall were out of control at this time, accompanied by the humming of magic from above and the shouting of urgency, and the muffled sound of several magic collisions also appeared in the ears of the snow spirit phantom ice who stopped, and then there was silence for a moment: "...... Ah, I forgot to tell you that I'm also a magician. ”

"Hello." The voice then quickly amplified, as if it had found a place to speak downward: "Let me see...... Yo. ”

"I didn't expect us to meet in this place."
