Chapter 174: Joker
As you enter the interior of the park, the sense of weirdness becomes stronger and stronger, except for the structure of the park's foundation, the other signs, whether it is the poster under the street lamp or the large ticket gate plaque in the park, all become a giant clown head.
"Clown Wonderland..." Ellie looked at the huge plaque and read it.
"Even the name has been changed...
"Am I dreaming...
"Even if it's a dream, it's a nasty nightmare."
"It's still the same bad taste as ever." Ike frowned slightly.
βγγγ Everyone, Kia is ahead, move forward carefully. β
"Good!"
Entering the Mishuram Fantasy Park, the original gate, the Missy logo that was piled up with flowers, at this time it was no surprise that it was replaced by an ugly clown logo, and under the illumination of the street lamp, the whitish logo looked particularly weird.
"It's a real compliment." Vaji whistled.
"To be able to do this has to be admired by the thinking of the caster." Randy sighed.
βοΌοΌοΌ Everyone! Theo, who had been vigilant, suddenly reminded loudly, "Something is approaching in front of the left and in front of the right!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, huge unspeakable monsters sprang out of the shadows. The transparent broken body looks like some kind of mysterious monster in people's oral traditions.
"Tsk, this is a monster on a terrifying roller coaster! Why ran out. Randy stepped back in front of Ellie and Noelle, who were a little overwhelmed by the shock.
"Didn't you say that illusion can inspire terrifying thoughts in your heart?" Ike tossed the pebble he had picked up on the road. With the sound of breaking the air, the sharp stones passed through the monster's body without hindrance and fell to the other side of the square, "Physical attacks are ineffective against those monsters, use magic." β
There was no need to speak again, Theo, who had already driven the magic, immediately emitted a bright blue light, and a series of blue light bullets scattered between the two monsters. Monsters can be easily cleaned up in an instant.
βγγγ Unexpectedly weak. Waji said.
"Probably on purpose, the last time I encountered it was a complete monster." Ike looked around at the darkness, clenched the stone in his hand and whispered.
"Tsk... Lloyd, who couldn't bear it anymore, strode forward and yelled, "How long do you want to hide?!" Come out now! β
"Huh?"
"Lloyd?"
"Is it there?" Ike, who had been unmoved, suddenly flashed a glimmer of light in the corner of his eyes, and his wrist flipped and flicked out the stone that had been holding in his hand.
With a "whoosh", the stone pierced the night sky, which had been somewhat silent after Lloyd's roar, and with a snap, the stone seemed to hit something, and fell from the upper floor a moment later.
"Hehe, worthy of Ike, he can find my position so accurately in this situation, even if it hits the wall next to me."
As if in response to Ike's question, in the darkness, a light voice sounded from the roof of the nearby building just now, and the green-haired young man in the suit leaned against the wall of the roof, greeting everyone with a relaxed expression.
"You guys deliberately made a noise near you."
"It's impossible to know that your throwing skills are still unsuspecting your position, the stone in your hand, I have seen it since the beginning of entering the paradise." The boy replied happily.
"This guy...
"I didn't feel his breath at all." Theo's face was a little ugly, she was known for her perception, she couldn't tell the breath of the young man in front of her at all, and if it wasn't for what she saw lightly, she didn't even believe that there was someone on the roof of that building.
"Sometimes what the eye sees isn't necessarily true." As if reading Theo's inner thoughts, Ike gently patted Theo on the shoulder and replied.
"You guy... Who the hell is it? Randy muttered, years of career as a hunter had made him a man who could not feel the aura of youth, but instinctively couldn't help but be vigilant.
"It's really affectionate, we obviously have a one-sided relationship, and we are not strangers who have never met." The boy pretended to be sad and replied, "Right? Ladies and gentlemen of the Special Mission Support Division. β
"Are you!"
"That's you, laying the trap in Jonah's room."
βγγγ At the same time, it is also the people who give the information of the Orchid Tower to those terrorists. Lloyd said in a deep voice, "The last time we met, we passed by in front of the puppet workshop, right?" β
"The answer is correct, and he deserves to be a search officer." The boy replied with some joy, "The executor of the snake that devours the body NO.0 - 'clown' Keparella, please advise me more in the future~"
"Is it really you!" Lloyd unconsciously raised his voice.
"Is it the mysterious association that threw Liber into chaos?!" Ellie's interface.
"When I heard that you had appeared in front of the door of that workshop, I thought you might have some connection to the 'association'... But I didn't expect you to be a clown. Randy said gloomily.
"Gee, it seems like we're not welcome." Kempareira sighed exaggeratedly, "But, haven't you thought that Ike in front of you is also our companion - although it was before." β
Even after listening to Ike's general description, Lloyd still subconsciously glanced at Ike, especially Noelle, surprised and at the same time, with a trace of doubt.
"Oh? The reaction was weaker than expected, and it seems that Ike has already told you. The young man said with some disappointment.
"It's a precaution to prevent a guy like you who has a bad taste at heart." Ike replied with a blank face. "But I didn't expect that you really cooperated with terrorists, it seems that behind the terrorists of the empire, you have always been supporting."
"Hehe, they're really unlucky." Instead of answering Ike's question head-on, Kemparella grinned and said, "The 'Black Moon' and the 'Red Constellation' would encounter such a dangerous enemy. Especially those guys in the empire, it's so miserable. β
"W-What is this? Anyway, you're also companions who help each other, right?! Noelle, who was a little unaccustomed to Kemparella's tone, couldn't help but speak.
"No, they don't think so." Ike muttered
"That's right, it's Ike, and the only person who can understand us is someone who used to be a companion." Kempareira smiled even more, but behind that smile, there was an eerie revelation: "They're just one of the pawns I'm using." I just thought their way of acting was interesting, so I just offered some help. As for their ideas and ideals, I don't even have the slightest interest~"
"I really don't want to understand your deformed bad taste if I can." Ike sighed.
βγγγ That's all for jokes. Lloyd, who had not been silent, said, "What are your intentions in coming to Crossbell?γγγ What's more... Where did you take Kia?! Even if you use force, I'm going to let you say it! β
"Hehe, the momentum is really good." Looking at Lloyd as he stood up, Kemparella smiled, "However, I didn't do anything to your little princess." I just saw her staggering past here. β
"What?!"
"You're denying it, aren't you?!"
"No, no, no, I don't have to deny it, facts are facts, whether you believe it or not." Kempareira replied in a relaxed tone, "As for me being here today, I just want to come to say hello to you, and I have a former companion I haven't seen for a long time. Kemparella snapped his fingers. In the entire park, the fantasy aura suddenly fluctuated, and the park logo that had been replaced was rapidly changing back to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Taking the initiative to solve the illusion, what are you going to do?" Akemi stared at Kempareira.
"Oops, I just thought that people who didn't know me didn't understand me, but I didn't expect even Ike to be like this." Kempareira sighed deliberately, "That's why I said it, I'm just here today to say hello, and it's very difficult for me to use such a wide range of illusions." After Kemparella finished speaking, he snapped his fingers again, and the orange-red flames instantly enveloped him, "Then I will be gone, I hope to see you again soon~ Oh, by the way, your little princess is walking to the castle inside, next time you can't let such a little girl appear outside alone at night~ Compared to next time, there will be no gentleman like me to protect her." β
"Kempareira, you guy, who are you trying to greet someone?!" In the silence, Ike suddenly shouted.
"Huh?!"
βγγγ You're still so sharp. In the firelight, Kemparella's laughter came from within. But I won't tell you simply, with your doubts and headaches at the endβ"
The sound suddenly stopped, and the orange-red firelight, along with the clown's figure, disappeared into the night.
"Tsk... Is this the Snake of the Devouring Body... Lloyd said a little unwillingly.
"Now is not the time to say that." Ike replied calmly, "Although the clown has solved the illusion, there is no guarantee that there will be those monsters left, so let's go find Kia first." β
After being reminded by Ike, Lloyd, who came back to his senses, hurried to the direction of the castle with anxiety.
All the way to the end, in front of the castle gate, a petite figure appeared in front of the steps.
"Here!" Everyone who breathed a sigh of relief ran up together, and only one of them stared blankly at the figure of the girl who was annotating the castle.
Looking at the girl in the distance with an undulating expression, the light of the surrounding castle shone on the girl, making the girl's figure emit a faint light, but in the depths of this layer of light, the light blue light that could hardly be seen with the naked eye jumped and wrapped around the girl. If it weren't for the enhanced senses, Ike wouldn't have been able to see the strangeness in it, and although the light blue light was weird, there was no fighting spirit or magic fluctuations. And most importantly, the long sword that Ike had been carrying was trembling violently behind Ike at the moment.
"Breath ... Exist... Is it? β
