By the end of the road, the sky had darkened, and Wille found that they were flanked by the sound of the crashing waves, and that they were on a shelf leading into the sea.

The light in Boris's hand vanished with a pop. Stopped.

"Hey, hey~ I'll go, what's wrong? Why did it stop suddenly? Vere was on his heels and nearly hit him.

Ollie crashed into Wille's body and fell to the ground.

"Hmm! Why did you stop, huh~"

The sound of water crashing against the dark sea was heard, and Ollie looked down to see that the reef where the water was lapping had turned into small black balls, hundreds of meters high.

Frightened, tears welled up in his eyes. "I almost fell ~ Woo ~ "

"There is no power gathered here for the Sacred Tree...... Damn, what kind of place is this. Boreth looked in disbelief at the tower, which was fading into the moonlight.

"Wait until I light the torch." As the darkness around him subsided, Ver took out the materials and quickly made a few torches, which they lit and handed to Boris and Ollie.

"I can't feel the power of the light of the sacred tree...... The place is quirky. Boreth held the torch and carefully looked around. What to do? Do we still have to move forward? ”

"Where did the shadow end up?" Weir asked.

"The tower just ahead."

Ver groaned for a moment and pulled out a spear from his back, "Do you want it?" ”

Bo Race glanced at it and shook his head, "I don't need to, I don't have the ability of the Holy Tree, I still have magical power...... Give Ollie one. ”

Taking the spear, Ollie looked at the spear and then at Vere, "Are we going there?" Whew~"

"Let's go, we've all come here, and we still have to retreat...... And if you can't figure out what's going on here, those shadows will eventually come back. ”

Veel was dressed in wooden armor, and when everyone was ready, they slowly approached the tower with torches.

……

Squeak! ~

Some dust fell, and the old door slowly opened, and the light of a torch shone in.

Inside, there was silence, and the footsteps of everyone could be heard.

Echoing in the tower.

"There's a spiraling staircase by the wall." Weel was the first to come in and waved his torch towards the center of the building, the light of which was so faint that it could not illuminate the heads of the people.

No, or maybe the space above everyone's heads is too high.

The three of them carefully guarded their surroundings and gradually walked to the center of the first floor.

"Be careful, that dark shadow doesn't know where it went." Boreth and Vere leaned back against each other, carefully observing their surroundings.

"I know, Ollie, you should be careful, too."

"Wow~woo~" Although he was a little scared, Ollie's ears were erect, and he listened vigilantly to the movements around him.

The group stood in the center, and the firelight illuminated the place where they were. Quiet, no sound.

Wiel swallowed and said to Boreth, "Shall we go up?" ”

"Don't worry, wait for that thing to come out, there's nothing here, that thing can't be hidden. Also, if I encounter that thing on the stairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn around. He shook the torch hard, "Damn, this place is obviously in the barrier of the sacred tree, why can't I feel the power of the sacred tree?" ”

No, there was a force that isolated the power of the sacred tree from the outside of Boris, and all the way here, Boris felt slowly weakened.

Unconsciously, Wille felt a lot darker in front of him, a hazy sense of unreality.

Boom! "What......!" The gate was pushed by a force, and it closed suddenly, and a dark shadow hovered around the crowd, hovering over the walls of the tower beyond the firelight.

The whole tower was sealed, and the darkness grew thicker and thicker, until there was no other place except the light of the fire.

"Here...... The power of the sacred tree is completely cut off! Not~! Oops. Not~! Suddenly, the fire flickered, and Boreth fell to his knees in some pain.

"Boreth?!" Vere felt the movement of the torch falling behind him, and Vere hurriedly turned to look, only to see Boreth sweating profusely and clutching his chest in some pain.

"I ...... Sustain my strength... It's losing fast... Damn, this body ......" Boris gritted his teeth in hatred. "Is this a trap?"

"I'm going to have to mobilize my body's magic to stop this loss, I'm going to focus on my mental ......," he said, and Boreth sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and began to condense his magic.

On the other side, the torch that Bo Race had dropped rolled down to the wall of the tower, and suddenly, from the shadow of the wall, a black shadow hand stretched out, silently extinguishing the torch.

Everyone was amazed!

"It's the monster!" Ver and Ollie hurried to keep Boreth in the middle, torches and spears in hand, and watched carefully at the darkness around them.

"Hmm~Wow~!" Ollie's pricked up ears suddenly moved, "Sir, be careful! ”

Will was staring at his head, when he suddenly heard Ollie's shout, and his heart sank, and he looked to his side, and in his shadow, a large mouth suddenly appeared from his side!

"Not good!" Just wanted to retreat, but remembered that there was still Bo Ruisi behind him, and his heart was horizontal, and he crossed his spear and torch in front of him.

The mouth touched the torch, engulfing the flames in one gulp, and then the shadow twisted, scattering into several puffs of black smoke and disappearing into the darkness.

Rustle~Ha~Ah~! There was a murky sound, and Ver shook a few times, causing the torch to burn again.

"Be careful! Don't let the torch go out! "Good! Whew~"

The dark shadow grew thicker and thicker, and a large mouth, formed in the shadows hovering above it, rushing towards Wille from above.

Ver gritted his teeth, and in order not to extinguish the flames, Ver turned the torch to the side, stretched out his spear and stabbed it like a black shadow.

Something happened that Veel didn't expect!

The spear didn't stop the black shadow, and it passed through Veil's body and came out of his back!

"Wow!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and boom! The wooden handle of the spear touched the ground, and Weir fell to his knees.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, and his pupils were a little dilated, "How come?!" ”

"Isn't this thing disembodied?!" There were no wounds or pain on his body, but Wille felt as if he was badly wounded. "Wow!" He spat out another mouthful of blood.

The shadow circled twice, and then slammed into it, and Veel had no choice but to hold the torch in front of him, and the shadow slammed into the torch and let out a rustling laugh!

At that moment, a spear stabbed from the side, and with a pop, it stabbed into the shadow, it was Ollie.

The black shadow seemed to scream, first froze there, and then slammed into a cloud of smoke! At the same time, the torches were extinguished again.

Feeling the torch grow lighter, Vere seemed to notice something. "Ahem! Ollie, assist me, attack with both fire and spear! ”

"Wow~Good!"

At that moment, the shadow rushed from behind Weel, who turned around and handed the torch in his hand.

"Sha, hahaha~"

Ollie's spear is empty! The black shadow did not rush at once, but suddenly dispersed, and then violently coalesced behind Veel's back, biting down on Boreth.

"Not good! Its goal is Boresi! ”

In the firelight, Boris opened his eyes with difficulty. Then he saw a sharp mouth made of black shadows, biting at him.

Before he had time to think about it, Veel had no time to wave his torch, "Boreth! Like a goalkeeper, he rushed towards the shadows and rushed in the direction of Boreth!

"Wow!" His body trembled, and Vere, who had been pierced by the black shadow again, could no longer hold the torch, and when he smacked, he fell to the ground, and Veir propped his hands on the ground, and blood flowed out of Vere's seven orifices. Boreth ...... Demon...... Magic! ”

"Vere! Give me the red crystal! Behind him came the sound of Boreth gasping, and Ver stood up, took the ruby out of his backpack, and threw it to Boreth.

"Ollie! Keep your head down! Boris shouted weakly, the red crystal in his hand glowing brightly. No one noticed that the body under Bo Ruisi's clothes had begun to become transparent.

Hovering around, the shadow monster swooped down again.

"Phew!" Boris drew the power from the red crystal, turned into a cloud of scorching energy, and a fireball flew out of Boris's hand, hitting the black shadow!

Syllable!

The fireball hit the wall, and the flames and shadows melted and dissolved.

"Didn't hit!" The moment the fireball hit the shadow, the shadow dispersed, and the fireball flew through it.

Half-kneeling on the ground, Weir gripped the spear in his hand.

"Boreth, I can fight for one second. Hit it! ”

"Ollie...... Torch! The shadow rushed down and headed straight for Boreth!

Ollie heard Will's shout, and struck the torch in his hand on top of the black shadow, and his mouth changed and he bit out the flames!

At this moment, the spear pierced into the black shadow from the side, and the black shadow that was about to dissipate froze there again.

"It's now!" Unable to hold back any longer, Weir fell forward to the ground, his limbs trembling slightly, staring in the direction of the dark shadow in the darkness.

Roar! A fiery dragon emerges from the darkness, whistling past Veil's back! A fiery glow illuminated the tower, and Ver saw the dark shadow in front of him distort in the red heat.

"Sand! Hiss! Yes~~~~!!! ”

A shrill sound came from all directions, and then there was a thud, and the dark shadows on the walls dissipated into bits of black mist.

The crystal exploded with a click, and Boris's body had almost disappeared.

The darkness dissipated.

Squeak~ A gap opened in the door. A ray of sunlight came through the doorway.

Ollie held the torch in both hands, his eyes closed, and half-crouched in front of Will, his tail straight behind him, and trembling constantly.

"Wow~Woo~~ Don't come, don't come."

"Alright Ollie, it's fine..." Veel lay on the ground and watched as the brightness had been restored around him, and the light cast into the small windows high up in the four walls of the tower. "Magic, looks like I should do some magic too."

"Huh? ~" Ollie opened his eyes and found that everything around him was lit up, and he was scared to the ground, "No...... Are you all right? ”

A little bit of light fell on Boris's body, and the originally illusory body became solid.

"Ah, the power of the sacred tree is no longer in the way." Boris got up from the ground and came to Wille's side, "Ollie, help me. ”

"It's alright, it's alright...... "Boreth's voice came from behind him, and Ver closed his eyes and fell into a weak slumber.

"The sir, fainted! Whew~" Turning around, Ollie found that Weir was unconscious, but fortunately, his breathing was still stable and there were no wounds on his body.

"The chief always faints~Whew~" Looking down at Will, Boris smiled and touched Ollie's ear. "Alright, let's get him aside first."

The two then lifted Vere to the side of the tower, and Boris looked at the staircase that spiraled up the wall.

"I'll go up and see what I can do first."
