"Our attacks don't work against those things at all...... Isn't it better to run away now?" Mir shot the final drums at the approaching dark shadows around him.

"I agree, but it's even more dangerous to see how many of these things there are without light. Tumik behind Mir was on guard on the other side of the line.

Ayton was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Karn, who had just been blown away, not far away, who seemed to be struggling to get up from the ground, but only gave up after only two attempts because a hand was broken, and then a black shadow rose from his limp body.

"I saw a dark shadow emerge from Karn's body, maybe the shadow was controlling them to kill each other......" Ayton turned his eyes to the many dark shadows standing in front of him and continued, "If you guessed correctly, since our attack was useless, it could be a magical creation, which would also explain why they attacked Ewen in the first place." ”

"Magic, it was the Atra who attacked us, but I've only seen them throwing fire and water, and I've never seen anything like it......" Mir said, and took a half-step back in the face of the approaching dark shadow.

"Kakru ...... I'm sorry to bother you, but we really need help now, aren't you two experts......" Mir turned his head to look at Kakru, who was still kneeling and holding Ewen in his arms, but he didn't react as if he hadn't heard. "Hell, it looks like we're on our own......" Mir saw that he couldn't seem to count on Kakru, so he quickly threw off his backpack and quickly rummaged through it.

At this moment, the black shadow that was originally just slowly walking towards them suddenly changed its originally slow movements and rushed over quickly. The three tense nerves were shocked when they saw the black shadows that were already very close in all directions suddenly rushing over, because everyone was still thinking about countermeasures in their minds, and their bodies didn't have time to react just froze there, just looking at themselves as they were about to be swallowed up by many black shadows. At this moment, they suddenly heard Kakru's voice shouting "In exchange, please give me strength!", the strong blue light of reality flashed, and then a sphere of white light appeared and enveloped the three of them, and several black shadows that had rushed in front of them and were about to contact them suddenly collapsed and disappeared, and then the black shadows that met the white light were the same. Most of the black shadows that had been pressed up suddenly disappeared, and the remaining few resumed their previous sluggish movements and began to hover around the ball of light.

"Oh~~~! Good job, Kakru! I didn't think you were too-" Mir said excitedly and turned to look at Kakru, but the sight in front of him made him catch the words in his throat, Ewen was already flat on the ground, the satchel on her waist was open, and several books were scattered, Kakru was standing on a piece of paper with a complex pattern of squares, his entire right arm continued to shatter from the palm of his hand upwards into small pieces, and then was sucked into the pattern under his feet, and the pieces of paper that touched it turned into dots of blue light and flew towards Ewen's wooden staff held high in Kakru's left hand. The faint white light emitted by the spar hanging from the metal cage at the top of the wooden staff spread like ripples on the surface of the water, and the blue points of light surrounded the metal cage, forming a barrier to protect them as the light waves scattered.

"Kakru, you're ......" Even a well-informed veteran forester, Ayton had never seen anything like this.

"It's something my wife has been working on...... Hmm!" Kakru seemed to feel physically exhausted and knelt down on one knee, relying on the support of the wooden staff in his hand to prevent him from falling, while his right arm, which was already half gone, was still shattering. "The Milai can't communicate with the gods to gain abilities like the Atlas, so this method requires the caster to pay a price in exchange...... "Kakru said, glancing at his right arm, which was almost completely shattered, and smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, the price is smaller than I expected." ”

"Can you destroy them with a spell, and you seem to know what this thing is?" Tumik asked.

"I don't know......," Kakru shook his head, "but Ewen told me before...... If you are attacked by an unknown attack, it is more effective to defend yourself with magic. ”

"Can you kill the remaining shadows?" Ayton pointed to the few shadows behind him.

Kakru shook his head: "This method is the first time I've used it, although I've encountered a few strange beasts that use magic attacks before, but they are all dealt with by Ewen......"

"But Kakru are indeed Milai, aren't you? Why ......," Ayton looked back and forth at him.

Kakru knew what he meant, looked down at the pattern at his feet, and said, "The magic of the Atra people is the power of communicating with the spirits of all things, although Ewen once tried to teach me the spirit language for communication...... Unfortunately, even if I could fully learn that language, it wasn't a skill but a talent...... Words alone are not enough. He looked at Ewen's body sadly and continued, "Ewen did a lot of research to fulfill my desire to learn magic, and the final result is this. ”

"Does she know it's going to hurt you?" Tumik asked.

"I didn't know it would be so serious, the first time I tried this method was to make the cup float, and it took me a month to ......recover from lying in bed," Kakru smiled wryly and shook her head, "Ewen was terrified, she destroyed all the research, but she only left this one thing by her side, and told me...... Only as a last resort...... She's gone...... to use ......," Kakru said, his voice choked up.

"Are we going to have to spend the rest of our lives with these inexplicable things......" Tumik sighed.

"I'm not sure......" Kakru took two deep breaths to calm his emotions, "I lost my arm, but it was only a sacrifice...... The use of magic is also very draining, if it was only because I experienced this feeling once, I might have fainted by now...... No, I actually feel like I'm going to run out of it...... "Kakru does look very bad from the start.

"So what do we do now? We don't have the means to deal with this thing except for Kakru's spells...... Are you going to die?" Mir watched as the crowd spread their hands.

“...... These shadows are not entities...... If it's magic, there must be a spellcaster nearby...... The Atra are no different from the Milai except for magic...... He must be in a place where he can see us...... Find him and you'll be able to undo the spell," Kakru said.

"Then the three of us will come separately, Kakru, you hold on and protect yourself. Ayton heard this and made an immediate decision.

"What??isn't it!?What if we go out and get possessed by these guys?!Your old friend has just been knocked away by us......" Mir thought he had misheard, but when he turned around, he saw that Ayton was checking the status of his equipment, and Tumik also unloaded his backpack to prepare for quick action, "Alas~ This business is really terrible, and I can blow it for a lifetime when I go back......" Mir sighed.
