CH.82 An Extremely Strange Area
What's going on?
A fear of the unknown welled up in the hearts of everyone present:
Didn't even see a trace of the enemy, and the strongest man in the team just fell?
"Stay put, everyone!"
It was Agnes who was suspended in the air.
She said from heaven downward:
"Natya Vida, can you drag him back? Be fast! ”
"Mana Entanglement!"
Two vines shot out from under Natyavida's feet and came in front of Abner's fallen body.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
The two vines paused on the ground, then with a lightning touch, dragged Abner back from a distance.
"Pop ......"
As soon as he returned to Natyavida, the two vines broke into several pieces, and Abner's body fell to the ground and rolled to the feet of the crowd, making a hard clattering sound.
Natyavida, an experienced healer, used a spell to detect his head and said to Natsu:
"He's like the two broken vines, he seems to be frozen."
She uttered a surprising word.
"Come to a magician and cast a few healing magic spells on him, and he will wake up in about half a day, as for the sequelae...... I don't know. ”
Natyavida shook her head and stood up from the stiff Abner.
"Is it frozen? But I don't feel cold at all. ”
Natsu stretched her arms and legs, just feeling a little cold, but far from being cold.
"The color of the ground in front of us doesn't seem to be the same as the one under our feet."
Natyavida walked up to her side and said something that everyone had overlooked.
"Sister Xia, I'll go for a while."
Agnes flew to Natsu's side and said.
"No, you can't go over."
Natsu denied her request and pulled her out of the air and pressed her into a wheelchair.
"Sister Xia......"
Instead of being angry, Agnes felt a burst of warmth, but she explained anyway:
"I'm not going there, but I'm trying to confirm one of my guesses with magic."
"I'll go with you."
Xia was still not at ease, who made Agnes like to be willful, so she personally pushed the wheelchair to a slightly front place and stopped.
"Dark Cut!"
Agnes stretched out a finger and swiped a few times into the air, creating a virtual cube.
"Click......"
Not far away, a gray ground made a cracking sound, and then a square pillar of earth and stone separated from the surface, slowly flying from the air to this side, and finally landed in front of her.
"It's cold!"
As soon as the cold rock and soil fell to the ground, the people nearby felt a bone-chilling cold.
Those who were weaker immediately stepped back, and it was a long way back before they felt a little warmer, rubbing their arms and legs incessantly.
"Boom!"
A black flame rose from Agnes's side, resisting the astonishing chill from above, and she leaned her head close to the earth-and-stone thing, looked at it carefully for a moment, straightened up, and said:
"Sure enough, this is permafrost, the permafrost under the cold earth, and judging from the freezing distance of this land, the temperature of the ground over there should be about -100 degrees Celsius; It's no wonder that even a muscular idiot like Abner is frozen, and this cold temperature is far beyond the protective capacity of school uniforms. ”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of puzzlement on her face:
"If it's really such a cold place, the nearby area must be bitterly cold, we are obviously only a little apart, but the temperature on both sides is very different."
"Look at the ground, there's an invisible line that separates the earth."
Natya Vida said on the sidelines:
"The ground on our side is black, and the front is gray, and the dividing line is where Abner fell."
When they looked closely, they saw that the dark gray earth and the gray earth were neatly put together, like a cake being split into two halves of different colors, and they were on the edge of dark gray.
"Stephanie, what the hell is going on? Is this a natural phenomenon? ”
Natsu asked Stephanie secretly.
"Master, I don't know. Magendona is a very strange space, this should be its outermost barrier, and the inside is even more unpredictable, this barrier may be to warn those who are not strong enough not to go further in. ”
"Game setting?"
Natsu remembered the air walls and death boundaries in Skynet games, where sometimes players would be instantaneously taken as long as they were out of range.
"But master, do you remember the skills of that LV50 magic swordsman? If you use that, you can get inside, and there's no danger if you're only moving around the periphery. ”
Stephanie said something that made Natsu's heart flutter.
“…… I'll take a look. ”
She didn't realize it herself, in fact, she was a person with an adventurous factor, but this natural curiosity and excitement were hidden in her bones, and only when the opportunity came would it explode.
"Sister Xia, don't go over there."
Agnes took her hand:
"The spirits I summoned are not affected by cold temperatures, unlike Albernar, but ...... They came in and none of them came out. ”
She looked out at the empty land:
"There must be something else here, and all of those spirits were wiped out in an instant."
This sentence was a bit eerie, and it made the people in the rear listen to it creepy.
"It's okay."
Xia shook her hand, she was confident in Stephanie:
"Trust me, I'm not going to do anything I'm not sure about."
With that, she walked over to the gray-white thread and stuck her long knife in the ground.
"Magic Charge!"
She closed her eyes and placed one hand on the hilt of the knife.
The black long knife suddenly emitted a purple light, and flames that were visible to the naked eye gradually appeared around the blade, converging towards the blade.
"It's so warm......"
Those who were close to her began to feel a warm breath rushing over their faces, but it didn't take long for it to start getting hot, and the long knife in Xia's hand seemed to turn into a scorching furnace.
This is a LV50 magic swordsman skill that allows the accumulated magic energy to explode in an instant, and because it requires a long time of charging, it is a very inkblot skill to use.
Originally, Stephanie and she both thought it was a chicken rib, but later found that this skill was still somewhat useful, such as now it can be used as a portable stove, and it only needs to slowly release the magic that originally exploded in one breath.
"It's a pity that my constitution is ineffective against natural phenomena, and it is useless against evil thoughts generated by ghosts; Because none of these powers are simply magical, otherwise it would be much easier now. ”
Step by step, she walked to the gray white earth and stepped forward on one leg.
As soon as she stepped on it, the fire element that had expanded outwards from the blade shrank suddenly, and the blazing aura that was originally several meters in radius was suppressed into a small mass, which could cover her whole body.
"Boom!"
Xia waited for a while, found that there was no accident, stretched out his leg and kicked the fallen alloy pot lid and broadsword on the ground, and found that these two things had completely frozen with the earth and became part of the ground.
"It's a low temperature of minus 100 degrees, it's really not covered."
She was secretly speechless.
This kind of ultra-low temperature has to be quite protected even on the earth, and she actually came in directly, thinking of this, her heart was a little proud.
"Sister Xia, be careful!"
It wasn't long before Agnes suddenly shouted from there.
"What's that?"
Xia turned around and found that a small gravel had been touched to the side on the ground in the distance, and then stopped moving.
Immediately after, dust rose slightly from another place, and it seemed as if something invisible had stepped on it.
This phenomenon continued on the gray and white earth, appearing more and more frequently, and the speed became faster and faster, as if an invisible object was rapidly approaching this side.
"Wings of Black!"
Agnes flew into the air.
Her eyes shone with a golden light, and countless black balls of various sizes appeared around her.
"Blow it up for me!"
With her gesture, the black balls began to rush towards the ground!
"Boom boom!"
There was a series of violent explosions around Natsu, and Agnes's control was so clever that not a single piece of rubble fell on her side.
"Whoosh!"
A transparent shadow rushed out from the continuous explosion smoke and pounced on Natsu's body.
"Stephanie! Why don't you alert me when an enemy is approaching! ”
Xia trembled with fright, what was she possessed?
"Master, Anla, this thing is not a threat to you at all, I remind you what to do."
Stephanie said with a smile on her face.
“……”
Xia moved his legs and moved his arms again, as if nothing had happened.
"No problem, right? As I said earlier, there is no danger as long as you are on the periphery. ”
Forget it, don't stay here, this place is so weird.
Even if no abnormalities were found on his body, Xia secretly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly withdrew from it.
"Sister-sama!" "Sister Xia!"
The people who cared most about her immediately rushed up and checked her body, and at first it was fine, but then the place became more and more sensitive, making her face red.
"It's okay...... I'm really fine! Al, don't touch it again...... Yikes! Who's touching my ass! ”
Escaping from the clutches of the women, she gasped and turned to look at the gray-white land behind her:
"What the hell was that, my eyes couldn't see it at all, and finally a vague outline appeared from the smoke."
"Captain, I'll try!"
Sadonan's staff had been returned by this time, and while maintaining the arcane barrier, he drew a void circle with his bare hands.
Out of the circle flew a green, transparent fly, exactly like the one that Darrow had summoned.
"Let's go over there."
He commanded the fly.
The flies buzzed forward, and the body of the spirit monster did not seem to be a physical entity, and it was not affected by the cold air at all, and entered the gray-white earth smoothly.
But it hadn't been flying long after entering, and it seemed that a gust of wind had blown on it, and the green fly had stopped in the air.
As if the painted image was slowly erased with an eraser, the transparent body of the fly gradually disappeared from the beginning, and finally the tail, which disappeared without a trace after a few seconds.
"Throw it down!"
Agnes didn't know where the white eagle had grabbed a spider the size of a fist and threw it in the air.
The spider's body was light and nimble and flipped in the air, but the cold air immediately froze it and fell heavily to the ground, several long furry legs crumbling in unison.
Then the invisible wind blew by, and the spider's eyes, which were still bright, quickly dimmed.
"Natia Vida."
Agnes looked at the spider and said to Natianavida.
"Got it."
Natyavida shot out a vine, caught the spider as fast as she could, and shot backwards, the vine broke into several pieces in the air, and fell to the ground along with the spider's body.
"Poof"
The spider fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of black ash and scattered all around.
Seeing this terrible sight, people were all horrified.
"All of this spider's life force was drained in an instant, and even the energy that made up the body was sucked away, and I had never heard of such a thing."
Natyavida's face was horrified.
"That's right...... It's something scarier than ghosts. ”
Agnes looked at the black ashes on the ground and said in a low voice.
"Let's go back, don't linger here."
Xia issued the order to close the team, and no one spoke out against it.
――Who wants to stay in such a weird place?
"What the hell is this place, I don't want to come again."
Sadoran kicked a green hedron scattered on the ground backwards.
The green hedron flew all the way away, and then landed on the gray-white earth.
After being exposed to the unusually cold air, its crystalline surface suddenly began to crack and peel off.
As the shell cracked, the fluorescence on the surface gradually disappeared, followed by a faint dark green glow emitted from the inside of the crystal.
This light is very pure and terrifying, completely different from the original faint translucent, but a bit like the glow of magic.
This phenomenon was noticed by a magician who remained at the end of the line.
He stared straight at the hedron known as the "Waste Crystal", and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Saipan, why are you still there, hurry up!"
Someone in the team shouted at him.
"I'll come now, wait for me."
A magician named Saipan secretly noted down this wonderful phenomenon.
