She said it three times in a row, but she didn't hear back.

The prison was dead silent, and there was no movement at all, except for the occasional glimpse from some dark corners.

"Master, it seems that there is really no one."

Little Lori took out a magic prop from her skirt, and the light of the fire element lit up in her hand, reflecting all around:

"The cell door may have been closed from the outside, just to keep us from getting out."

No one else can use elemental magic in this place, but as the source of elemental magic, she is not subject to this restriction, but the firelight will still weaken quickly after leaving her body, and it can't reach too far away from her.

"If it doesn't work, come back incognito, it's too eye-catching."

Natsu suddenly felt her heart beat violently, and an ominous feeling enveloped her, and she gave an order to Little Lori.

"Understood, master."

Erin, a little frustrated, put the magic prop into her skirt.

At the moment when the firelight had not completely dissipated, a huge shadow appeared behind the little Lori.

The shadow was like a large hand of darkness, silently approaching from behind, quickly sealing off most of the space around her.

"Erin, get invisible!"

Natsu's eyes widened, looking at the thing and warning to Lori.

It was a mandatory order, and Erin's little hand shook, and the magic prop slipped out of her hand.

But switching from physical state to stealth requires a short process, which usually seems inconspicuous, and in actual combat it is still half a beat slower.

At this moment, the giant hand composed of shadows swelled violently, holding the little Lori firmly in the palm of her hand, revealing only a small head.

"Ahhh

Erin didn't expect something to sneak up on her, and she was quite frightened.

"Invisible!"

Her invisibility was immediately activated.

"The host...... I...... There is no escape. ”

Something amazing has happened that has never happened before.

I saw the artifact Lori writhing her body in pain. After entering the state of invisibility, he still did not escape the control of the shadows, and he was still trapped inside, unable to even move.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Natsu looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly thought of the dream he had on the road to the end.

It was a terrible dream.

In her dream, Stephanie was devoured by a dark shadow with no face in sight, during which she kept reaching out her little hand to call for help, but she could not do anything about it. watched her disappear in front of her eyes.

In the end, only a bloodied black dress remained on the ground.

"It's hell that fears me, not me who fears hell!"

The voice of the dark shadow in her dream seemed to sound in her head again:

"Come here......"

"I can feel that you are getting closer and closer to me......"

Until now, she could still feel the cruelty and arrogance in the other party's words.

"―――――――― aa

The silver-haired girl screamed and drew her long sword and kicked the cell door open!

"Whoever you are - let her go now!"

A fierce sword qi slashed out from the blade, and the sword skill that could slash regardless of space split the four fingers of the giant hand, and the little Lori successfully escaped from the restraints.

"It can hurt it!"

Finding that this sword was effective against the enemy, the silver-haired girl's heart instantly calmed down a lot.

"Sunset Sword Slash!!"

Three successive flashes of sword light erupted from her long sword. Shooting against Erin's body towards the shadow's body, it burst into its body.

The thin, tape-like body of the shadow was blasted into three small holes, but it only took a blink of an eye before it quickly returned to its original state.

"It's 90 percent less powerful."

She mentally assessed the damage caused by the sword,

"But it's good if it works!"

She attacked the shadow floating in the air again, and for a moment the sword light flew sideways. Beat the other party to a thousand holes.

"The hosts! Don't fight, it's useless. ”

Erin's voice suddenly became trembling:

"The other party is a fragment of God...... And it seems like the one I've never heard of. ”

"Fragments of God?"

I heard the words of little Lori. Xia shuddered, as if she had woken up from a dream, and finally understood what important things she had neglected.

- According to the Codex, Frestia is the owner of the eighth fragment!

The Shard of God can move regardless of any terrain while being invisible, and it is easy to enter this seemingly well-guarded prison;

There was a precedent for the black-clothed Lori to capture elemental magic fragments with a net, so it's no surprise that Shadow was able to ignore Irene's invisibility; It's just that Erin said earlier that she couldn't feel the breath of the God Fragment. She hadn't thought of it for a while!

"Hiss......"

Although the shadow was attacked by a fierce sword qi, it still returned to its original state in an instant.

However, it seemed to feel pain, and instead of trying to move closer to the departing Erin, it gradually solidified its body until it finally came together. Forming a faceless black human face.

"Gollum."

Then a mouth was cracked open from that face, and a red tongue was spat out from it, and he licked it from the side of his mouth, as if reminiscing about the taste of Irene.

This eerie movement contrasts with the eerie surroundings as if a man-eating monster is looking hungrily at its prey, making people shudder.

"Master, run! It's going to be invisible--"

Erin, who was also a fragment of the god, immediately sensed the other party's actions and issued a warning to Natsu.

"It doesn't matter, I'm also the owner of the fragment, as long as it appears in front of me, its whereabouts shouldn't be hidden from me."

Xia is already a strong man who has been in battle for a long time, and after calming down, he found that his side was still in an advantageous position, so he did not panic as he did at the beginning, but comforted Xiao Lori.

"You probably don't know...... When she was in the Dragon Arena, Stephanie had seen Maud, the Dragon's Fragment, hidden nearby. ”

This shows that the shards of the gods have some kind of constraint on each other, otherwise how would the owners of the two shards fight if they collide together? No one can find out where the other party's helper is, and this kind of duel is too boring. ”

Although the shadow hid its body, she could still see the other party's movements, and found that it had no intention of leaving, but was hiding to the side, waiting for an opportunity to pounce at any moment.

"The information of this fragment in the main quest is a question mark, what does it do?"

Xia didn't dare to be careless at all, even if the other party didn't have a master by his side, but the origin was too mysterious and unpredictable, and as the master's strength improved, the God Fragment would also gain various abilities, you know...... The other party's master is the god of law! (To be continued.) )
