Chapter 374: Dark Mist
Shiki looked down at Fuyuki City, shrouded in the golden afterglow of dusk, and he was still in the mansion of the Ruvia family, but his gaze had spread to all parts of the city with Shikigami scattered all over the city. Close to 60% coverage, this is the result of his past few days.
However, even that was not enough, and so far he had not found the slightest trace of the Dominator. Generally speaking, if you want to hide in the city, it is possible to control your power carefully and not release it. But that's not all the Dominator has done, and what you found today about the situation on the banks of the Weiyuan River is very likely to be done by the Dominator, which means that they are also recovering rank cards.
The surveillance of the four seasons has never been interrupted twenty-four hours a day, from day to night, which means that the other party has some means to hide the battle at that time, so that he does not find out. It is conceivable that there must be a being who is good at hiding among the Dominators, and it is very likely that he is a magician from the point of view that he can avoid his Shikigami.
From the current situation, the number of Dominators is at least four, including Huang Quan and the sneak attacker who made the bow, as well as the plant envoy who recovered the assassin and the magician who hid their tracks.
Between the latter two is likely to be someone of the same level as the four seasons, and if that person is a magician, the situation is a bit more difficult. Since the other party came prepared, he must have a considerable understanding of this world. Magicians can naturally do a lot of things here, and from the fact that a half-baked magician like Shiki (relative to Shiji's strength) can monitor the whole city, what the other party can do is definitely not small. It is hard not to think that the other side has been holding on to the ground, and it is difficult not to think that it is a plan.
Throw away the rulers who don't know if there will be zĂ i, the rulers they have to face are four, but the enemy is more than that, judging from the other party's ability to recover the rank card unconsciously, the possibility that the other cards will be in their hands is very large. Four seasons, they must be mentally prepared to face more servants.
The city is gradually enveloped in night, announcing that night is coming. Suddenly, the four seasons find something strange in their perceptions, like bright ink spots painted on a white canvas.
In an instant, the four seasons concentrated their consciousness in the past, and Shikigami became the node of his consciousness projection. Unlike the application of Shikigami as a camera, this really extends his consciousness to the past, and the difference is the same as the difference between watching surveillance footage and using the naked eye. Because the mental consumption is too great, the four seasons can't be maintained for a long time, so it's also the reason why he has made many Shishen, but the accuracy of the corresponding monitoring has also decreased, and it is easy to be blocked.
With the transfer of consciousness, the perspective of the four seasons came to the street, and this distance has long exceeded the range that the four seasons can perceive conventionally, and can only use Shikigami as a node transit.
Soon he zeroed in on the target of the four who were out of tune with their surroundings, no doubt a combination of Dominator and Servant.
The observed scene lasted only a brief moment before it was abruptly cut off, and Shiki knew that it was the reason for the destruction of Shikigami as a node.
Shiki quickly controlled the surrounding Shikigami to move closer there, and at the same time quickly informed the others of the situation.
All the staff gathered in front of the four seasons as quickly as possible.
"Is it the enemy who has appeared?"
Miyuki asked this question on behalf of the crowd.
"Hmm."
Shiki took out the mirror of Nitokris, and a three-dimensional image appeared in front of everyone. The image shows a thumbnail of a city.
"This is the trail of the Dominator that was observed about a minute ago."
Four red dots are marked, indicating the location of the enemy.
"Can you show images of enemies?"
Luvia pointed to the stereo effect.
"Nope."
To everyone's surprise, Shiki shook his head.
"So far, the Shikigami who have been close have lost contact. Because of this. â
This time, Shiji took out a terminal that looked like a mobile phone, and while monitoring the city with Shijin, he also used technology to hack into the city's camera. It's just that this world is no better than the frontier or Roppongi that I have been to, and the technology in this world is not advanced enough, and there are far fewer cameras and other devices in the city, so it hardly plays a role.
At this point, several small screens are split into the terminal, corresponding to cameras in the vicinity of the enemy. The camera itself doesn't show the enemy, but it shows what the enemy is doing.
"Is this fog?"
Illya struggled to look at the image, the scene inside had become quite blurry due to the influence of the fog.
"It's the servant!"
Meiyou seems to have reacted.
"Assassin Jack the Ripper, can't be wrong."
Miyuki, who has actually been in contact with the other party, is very sure at this time.
"Well, now that's the range of fog coverage."
As the seasons passed, the image displayed by the Mirror of Nitokris changed, stretching into the distance, and a white mist appeared in the city.
"Isn't that downtown? When we spread fog there......"
"And what's going on with that range? What an exaggeration! â
Rin and Luvia both exclaimed, because the fog covered so much that it had spread across the entire block in just a few moments, and it seemed that it was going to continue to expand outward, and the strength had increased by I don't know how many times since it first appeared.
"Is that fog going to cover the whole of Fuyuki City?"
"Even the Servant ......"
This fog is the treasure of Assassin Jack the Ripper, the Dark Mist (Themist). Magical enchantments of the Mist can cause continuous damage to those who enter it, and even servants will be affected, reducing agility. This treasure is born out of the era of Jack the Ripper, and after the Industrial Revolution, London was polluted by a large amount of soot, and the treasure was restored to the fog.
The evaluation level of this Noble Phantasm is C, which is not a very powerful Noble Phantasm, and the distance and capture range should not be so exaggerated, at least it is impossible to cover a city. However, in fact, the current table is beyond the existing level.
"I guess I used a spell to increase the power."
It could also be that the Dominator has some ability to increase its power. This half sentence was not uttered by the four seasons.
Whatever the reason, the situation is already in front of them in the four seasons.
