Chapter 40: Life and Death Struggle (Part II)
The clay figurines are also angry, being teased and tormented like cats and rats, and even Brandi, who is trying to avoid fighting Oriana, can't bear it.
The problem with the frustration is that he can't even figure out the location of the target.
In addition to her unique runic magic, which can be easily controlled and cast without the need for a wand or chant, Oriana is clearly well-versed in a spell that allows her to blend into her environment. Brandi had just locked into her position with the light of the spell, but after dodging the explosion just now, the vague figure in her vision disappeared again.
After that, Oriana never recited the spell with her wand, and she seemed to know that her whereabouts would be revealed by the light of the magic, so she simply activated the magic leaflets that filled the room, driving Brandi into flight.
The runic magic cast with ancient magic is really incredible, unlike magic spells, the magic on those loose pages does not only shoot simple spells, the walls will fly out of the ice edges; The ground will turn into quicksand; Explosions and stabs, and even knives and forks shooting out of corners, would always pop up from anywhere Brandy could think of.
Just a few minutes passed, and his physical strength, which had been exhausted, was even reaching the limit.
If it goes on like this, even if he hadn't been killed by Oriana, he would probably have died of exhaustion first.
When Brandi fled the scene of the explosion again, he was forced to do it.
"Ultra Magic—Fluorescent Flash!"
He closed his eyes vigorously and detonated a flashbang in the sky above the dance hall, even with all the protection, his eyes that had long been used to the darkness were still pierced white by the sudden bright light, but this was his rare opportunity - he had already become like this, and Oriana's condition should be more serious. In this case, it should be impossible to put a silent iron armor spell on yourself during these few minutes when everyone is blind.
He thought quickly in his mind, quietly moved a few steps to the side, and as soon as his mind moved, a bright white light fell from the sky, turning into a solid silver armor around his body—he had always been proud of his handsome silver armor, but in this environment, that thing had obviously become the brightest target on the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that he had to get a little respite, he wouldn't-
"Bang!" A huge impact came from his lower back, and with a thud, Brandi's body shook to the right, slamming heavily against something wooden.
What the! Panic overtook the pain and took over his brain, and he was shocked.
With no sight and no loud sound, how could Oriana's spell find itself so accurately!
He pointed at a place with his wand, blasted a pit with a crushing charm, and stumbled to the edge of the ballroom on tiptoe with the loud sound of the explosion - but the plot was still so similar, Orianna was not affected by the explosion at all, as if she had eyes, and the sheets of loose leaf paper were activated around her, and every magic could make the iron armor ripple.
Sure enough, she wasn't relying on sound localization!
This is somewhat similar to the Yin corpses of Manson Manor, they have no sight or hearing, but they can still sense their own existence. However, the difference is that Brandi later found some introductions about Yin Corpses in the library, confirming that they rely on sensing magic and souls to determine the location of the target. What about Oriana?
She couldn't have sensed the smell of magic in the air like the Yin Corpse......
After being attacked like a wild bombardment, Brandy's super magic iron armor spell began to be a little unbearable. Everywhere you go, whether it's the floor or the walls, the tables and chairs, or the candlesticks, there are desperate magic cards everywhere. I can't tell which one of them will suddenly flicker the moment I pass by, and then give myself a heavy blow.
There are too many, densely packed, it's like a big net spread out.
………… Brandi blinked.
Big net?
Brandy, who had been as conspicuous as a guiding light, suddenly disappeared from Oriana's perception. It made her feel a little uneasy, had she discovered the means to control the entire space so quickly...... The hints you give yourself shouldn't be so easy to guess.
Just as she was suffering from gains and losses, silent but extremely clear footsteps appeared in her perception again. Yes, exactly like just now, he walked in a panic, for fear of making a little movement, and it seemed that he was moving in the direction of the crystal wall.
Unfortunately, no matter how slight your movements are, they are useless. This battle is doomed from the beginning to be impossible for you to win.
Let's just end it here, as long as the mana input is well controlled......
Orianna exhaled lightly, I don't know if it was because she was relaxed again, or because of the faint loss in her subconscious. Her fingers moved slightly, and on a floor tile seventy or eighty feet away, the paper quickly retracted, and even collapsed inward with the floor tiles—reaching the limit, and—
"Boom!"
Feeling the strong tremor of the entire perceptual web, Oriana laughed self-deprecatingly.
Sure enough, whether it's to others or to myself, I'm really a person who can't be ruthless.
However, as the room calmed down, the smile on her face slowly faded into a horrified expression.
In the perception network, the two footprints were still walking towards the wall unhurriedly, and the explosion just now did not seem to have any effect on him.
Impossible! Even if I've lowered my mana output, it's still a blasting spell! The power of eating a blasting spell raw on the front, even if it is on top of an intact turtle shell, it will honestly lie on the ground and eat soil because of the impact force!
With a flick of his fingers, the runes around him turned into colorful spells, completely drowning out his location with a whistling sound, and a series of explosions resounded in Oriana's heart like a fierce drumbeat. Now, it should be fine now.
When the dust settled, Oriana covered her mouth and barely screamed. Perception, Brandi's figure appeared near the explosion point, twitching from time to time. On the other side of the perceptible net, another shape actually appeared - it looks like, a broken leg?!
Isn't it, my magic tore Brandi to shreds?!
This is not the end I wanted!
Frightened by the terrible catastrophe, Orianna covered her mouth and hurried out of her hiding place, running in a panic in the direction of Brandy's broken leg.
"How's you doing, Britney! Don't scare me! I didn't expect it to be like this! Hold on, I'll send you to school right away—"
Worry and horror turned into a look of astonishment, and Oriana stood blankly next to Brandi's 'broken leg' in her senses, her mind blank.
Pink heels are rudely draped over a table leg that bends in the middle to form the shape of a leg.
Worst! Fooled!
At this moment, there was a sudden light behind him, and several candlesticks were lit. She quickly turned around, but was still a step too late, and under the effect of the disarming charm, the loose-leaf book came out of her hand and fell into the dust all over the ground.
"Found you, Senpai."
The grizzled Britney grinned at her in mid-air, her gothic dress had turned into a tattered mass of rags, and he grabbed the rope summoned by the rope binding spell and slowly swung it down from the air—he had just hoisted himself from the chandelier in the ceiling.
Lowering his head, the two barefoot boards were shyly and uneasily tilted upward, and their toes were still greeting him.
Oriana stared at Britney's cheeks in a daze, his face was red, and suddenly he smiled, and the feeling of anxiety in his body suddenly disappeared with the wind.
"Ah, yes, Britney. You win. ”
…………
"So, how did you find out?"
After the battle, Orianna helped Britney clean the wounds on her body with a distressed face, and saw that there was almost no good meat on her body, and the guilt swept through her heart. In order not to let her weakness be noticed by Britney, she quickly started the topic.
"Isn't it Sister Orianna that you reminded me~" Britney smirked, "I wondered from the beginning, why did I use the eight-eyed giant spider when revealing my origins, the story of escaping from the spider's lair is obviously much less influential than fighting against the basilisk." ”
"Later, when I found out that sound and light were not the means of your positioning, senior sister, I noticed something strange in the whole room - you have arranged too many loose-leaf cards, and each time you attack me, only a small part of them, in the association of cobwebs, I have already understood, senior sister, you are through the magic of these dense loose-leaf cards, forming a perceptual network. The means used to observe the battlefield is vibration. Since it's a vibration, I won't be noticed as long as I'm hanging in the air. ”
"Then that walk around is ......"
Britney didn't speak, she waved her wand, and the two high heels spontaneously jumped over the chair legs and the stones that had been restored from Transfiguration, and walked solemnly on the ground. It's all done at this point, where does Oriana still not know the truth, she didn't want to knock Britney's head in anger, but she was afraid of involving the wound on his face, so she had to inexplicably turn into a reward for touching her head.
"Then, since you have already admitted defeat, senior sister, it should be time to confess to me."
Seeing Orianna nodding in resignation, Brandi couldn't wait to ask, "What the hell is that monster?" Where is it now? ”
Who knows, the next plot was beyond his expectations.
Oriana smiled slyly and answered him very cheerfully.
"I don't know~"
…………
"Huh?"
