Chapter 305: The Fog of the Forest
In the forest, shrouded in a cold aura, Miyuki is wielding her blade. ββι ββPointββSmallββ said,
Ghouls rush out of the shadows of the woods, with an appetite to devour their prey, and launch fierce attacks.
Front, behind, left, right, and above, their presence almost occupies the surrounding forest.
Miyuki couldn't tell how many ghouls there were around, because at some point, a thick fog appeared in the forest, and the surroundings were plunged into a haze.
The ghouls continue to attack Miyuki, but Miyuki is not deterred.
She already knew a little about these ghouls in her previous encounters, and after understanding their strengths, weaknesses, and habits, it was not so difficult to deal with them.
Miyuki is constantly walking through the forest, and in order not to be besieged by the other party, as long as this is dealt with, it will no longer be a problem to deal with ghouls who are much weaker than herself.
Scimitars danced through the trees, each slash with unparalleled power. Even though ghouls are stronger than the average human, they can't resist the blade of the Barse Glaive, and all they can do is dodge as much as they can. However, even if Miyuki's speed is affected by the trees, after gradually figuring out the opponent's attack pattern, it becomes very difficult for the ghoul to dodge.
Therefore, the result of the battle is obvious, even if there are multiple ghoul attacks, they are eliminated little by little by Miyuki.
With another swing of the blade, the last ghoul was slashed to the ground by Miyuki with a piercing scream and splatters of blood, unable to get up again.
"Whew~~~"
Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief, it was the first time she had encountered more than a dozen enemies at once, but fortunately, Shiki had explained to her how to fight against different types of enemies in her previous studies. Looking back at the way she came, a messy path appeared in the dense woods, and the corpses of those ghouls were poured on this path, which was the same trace she had walked along the way during the battle. When dealing with multiple enemies, she must be careful not to be besieged, in fact, even if Shiki didn't tell her, she can understand this. As long as you play a few more action games, you can know the pain of being besieged by mobs.
Miyuki retracted her gaze, now was not the time to reminisce about playing the game, because after dealing with these ghouls, she discovered another bad thing.
"Little fox!?"
Miyuki kept looking around, but there was no one around, and the little fox didn't know where to go.
"Oh no......"
Needless to say, she is now separated from the little fox. It should have been when she was fighting the ghouls just now, because there were too many of them, she was focused all her energy on the enemy, so she couldn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, and the little fox was probably the same.
"Hey, hey, hey!! Hear a reply! β
The sound spread around Miyuki, but no response was heard.
The fog seemed to have become thicker, and it was already difficult to see people in such a dense forest, which was now exacerbated by the fog all around. I couldn't see anything at all from five meters away.
First lost, then separated.
"What am I doing?"
Miyuki couldn't help but feel annoyed at her watch.
"Don't be okay!"
Thinking that the little fox is now alone Miyuki is very worried, although she knows that the other party's strength should be stronger than herself, she still can't help but worry.
Miyuki walked in the thick fog for a while, and of course she didn't see anything, let alone a little fox, not even a ghost. I don't know if they wiped out all the ghouls just now, and now there is complete silence around them, and they can't hear a sound at all.
"Hey! Are you there? β
The shouts remained unanswered, as if swallowed up by silence, and the fog around them had become so thick that it was impossible to see beyond a meter ahead.
"That doesn't seem right."
It's not early in the morning, so there's no reason for that fog to be so big, it doesn't look like it's natural.
"Is it a fairy prank?"
Miyuki thought of this possibility, and if it was really a fairy prank, then there was no need to worry about safety.
She stretched out her fingers to concentrate on mobilizing the magic in her body, although she was still a non-penetrating sorcerer, she still learned a few of the simplest spells, such as-
"Detect magic!"
A wave emanated from Miyuki's fingertips, a simple spell used to detect magic and magic items.
This is something she learned during her recuperation, during which she also learned spells such as the Illumination Technique and the Arcane Seal. According to Shiji, it was recorded in the magic notes left by the former captain of their "Star Fan" team, and there were stronger spells, but they were not suitable for her, these simple spells were just for her to practice her hands and get used to the control of magic power.
According to Shiki, she doesn't belong to the kind of research-type interferer, nor is she the kind of mage who can develop well, so just use what she is good at.
Miyuki still has a deep understanding of this, for example, the magic power that she can freely invoke with the Balsey Glaive Knife can definitely use a lot of spells if it is converted to those spells, but in fact, the result of her attempt is that the magic power explodes before the spell is half completed.
The "detection magic" that Miyuki is unleashing now has no problem because it uses very little magic and the composition of the spell is simple. Of course, the effect is also very weak, and according to Shiki, when she is strong, she can sense the traces of magic without casting a spell and do the same thing as this spell. Therefore, it is a kind of practice after all.
Miyuki just tried to use it this time, trying her luck, but the fluctuation disappeared like the sound just now.
Then there are only two possibilities for the result, one is that the surrounding fog is just a natural phenomenon and has no power to affect it, and the other is that the force of the influence is very strong, completely exceeding the level that magic can detect.
If it's the first one, it's fine, but if it's the second......
Miyuki thinks things are a bit big.
After thinking about it for a while, Miyuki decided not to take the risk and tried her best to get in touch with Shiki and ask him to come to them. It would be fine if Miyuki and the little fox were together now, but the little fox is gone now, and she can't risk the little fox's safety.
Thinking of this, Miyuki was about to use the communicator to connect with the four seasons, but at this moment, there was a slight change in the quiet environment around her, and Miyuki couldn't tell what that change was, it wasn't seen with the naked eye, but a certain feeling.
As this feeling arose, the thick fog suddenly faded.
