CH.62 The Broken Door
"Illusions and psychic attacks don't work, and the back path is also cut off, what else can you do as an illusionist?"
Seeing the other party's fearless expression, Xia felt uneasy:
She has thought of everything she can think of, is there anything else that the other party can't do?
"Flutter."
Suddenly, there was a soft thud on the ground at the feet of Normanta.
"What's that?"
In the shocked gaze of everyone, a small black seedling broke through the ground above and emerged, instantly soaring by more than two meters, protecting the Norman Tower in the rear.
"Poof! Sneer......"
Then another purple plant rose from the ground and began to shoot out light purple smoke.
"Who said illusionists have to attack with spirits? These children are also my loyal subordinates...... Do you know why the old bastards who beat me up never succeeded? Because I'm smarter than they are! Whew, hahahahaha-"
Behind the black plant, Normanta's laughter could be heard.
"Bang!!"
Dora's sniping hit the black plant accurately, but it didn't leave a trace on it.
"Captain, the gun attack is ineffective!" Dora crouched on the ground and shouted.
"This is the Demon Flower, which I got from the Dark Mage Guild, and is not afraid of fire and impact at all; Even armor-piercing bullets and explosive bombs can't damage it in the slightest, don't forget that I'm also a scientific researcher, and I've also participated in the research of those magic bullets, so I'm too familiar with their properties. β
Amid the crazy and triumphant laughter, purple smoke began to fill the entire passage, and everyone hurriedly covered their noses and retreated.
"Oops, there's something to come!!"
Shizuki suddenly noticed several black plants growing in the rear, blocking the group's retreat, and then purple smoke also escaped from the back of a black plant.
"I see, she shook the magic gun before leaving here just now, and the seeds of the plant should have fallen to the ground at that time!"
Xia Xin hated and admired this illusion mage of the royal family, and unlike himself, the leader of the halfway monk, the other party planned every step very precisely.
"Although I didn't expect your identity to be exposed, my patience is almost worn out, and luckily you actually brought Zero with you! My luck was so good. β
Normanta's voice exuded excitement.
"Zero? Zero! β
Xia anxiously transmitted to Zero, but did not get a response.
When he turned his head, he saw a dazed Abner, one hand grabbing Zero's hair and pressing her to the ground.
A purple seedling sprouted from beneath his feet, and the smoke was swaying beneath Zero's nose.
Zero is just a weak little girl when she has no ability to activate, and she can't defend herself against a sneak attack by a warrior at all.
Sadonan had already rolled his eyes, standing at the end of the line, the first to smell the purple smoke coming from behind.
- As soon as he falls, it means that the arcane barrier is broken!
"This purple carnivorous plant is also a means I learned from the dark mage, a cute little thing capable of releasing spiritual gas; The dwarf winter melon has been controlled by my illusion, oh, as for that mage......"
Nomanta's voice was somewhat eager:
"Today is the first time I've known that the Arcane Barrier is resistant to spirit spells, and I'm interested in you, little mage. My sister will be looking for you to make love in a while. β
After speaking, she said to Xia in a playful tone:
"How's it going, my dear silver-haired captain, lovely little beauty, all of them will fall in a moment? What are you going to do, I'm looking forward to it, hehehe......"
"Stephanie, are you alright?" Xia tried to calm himself down and said in his head.
"Master, I'm fine, what should we do? This woman is so cunning! β
Stephanie looked indignantly at the Normanta encased in black plants, she was not afraid of any poisonous gas, but she had almost no offensive power; It's okay to let her throw a rock to scare her, but the other party is hiding in a demon flower that is stronger than steel, and she can't do anything about it.
"This is the other profession you just mentioned is less than LV30, shouldn't it be difficult to deal with?" Natsu covered her nose and complained.
She herself was not well thought out about it, but she didn't get angry with Stephanie.
- Who told her not to ask the other party's specific occupation just now?
ββ¦β¦ Woo. β
Stephanie covered her flushed face with one hand, then pulled out Normanta's stats page:
"Her other two classes are Dark Mage and Summoner, although the evaluation is very low, but once you have high-level items, her strength will skyrocket, I didn't expect that kind of rare items on her."
ββ¦β¦ Uhh β
"Whew."
Dora and Shizuki's movements stiffened.
Their eyes became sluggish, and they staggered towards Xia, and it seemed that they were also controlled by Normanta.
A blue light appeared in Natsu's eyes, resisting Normanta's illusion attack, and although she had a weapon in her hand, she didn't want to hurt the team, so she was slowly squeezed into the corner.
"My body is not immune to poison."
Even when she covered her nose, she felt that her head began to gradually get dizzy, and finally realized that the limitations of her physique were still very large, and in many cases it was not so easy to use.
"Knock".
At this critical moment, there was a sudden knock on the metal door.
"Huh?"
Normanta froze.
But then she laughed, and her voice trembled:
"When have you been playing this little trick ......"
"-Knock!"
Another muffled sound came.
"-Knock!" "-Bang!" "-Knock!" There was a series of banging sounds from the metal door behind them, and even the dust on the rock wall began to fall.
Normeta's face finally changed.
What is it?
The crashing sound stopped abruptly.
There was silence all around, and Xia had already been squeezed onto the rock wall at this time!
"Stealth!"
She suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.
Those accused were in a state of delirium, and they all stayed there and did not move when they saw the target disappear.
Natsu emerged from under the crowd, and the blue light in her eyes faded into a deep purple glow:
"Fire elemental, please listen to my request and radiate light and heat!"
Since this black plant claims to be not afraid of flames and impacts, then try the power of purple flames!
"Boom ββββββββ!!!"
As soon as flames condensed from the tip of her knife, she heard an earth-shattering bang, and the metal door was suddenly slammed open!
"It's ...... How...... What's going on......"
The force of the impact lifted the black plant summoned by Nomanta, and she flew out like that, spitting out a few words in the air and slamming into the rocks.
"Squeak...... Squeak......"
In the smoke, the sound of a wheelchair came from inside the door.
"Demon Plants...... And the plague? I really saw something interesting. β
A familiar voice rang out.
"Get rid of them, someone looks like they're down in front of them."
Another familiar voice said.
"Hmph, do you still need to say it?"
I saw Agnes's figure in a wheelchair emerge from the smoke and stretched out a hand:
"- Mana Extraction!"
The black plants in the entire passage withered in an instant, and fell to the ground limply.
The dark magic in the body of this steel-solid demon plant was sucked clean by this blow, and it instantly turned into a puddle of soft mud, and it could no longer stand up.
"I'll leave the smoke to you, I don't bother to take care of it."
Agnes put down her hand and said without looking back.
"I don't need you to say I'll do it too."
Natya Vida stepped out from behind her:
"βHanging Storm!"
The pebbles on the ground began to shake, then floated into the air with dust and smoke, and a hurricane blew in the passage, first hovering in place for a while, forming a whirlwind with purple poisonous gases rushing forward and disappearing at the end of the passage.
"Hey, who is this person, why is there blood on his face."
Agnes saw Normanta next to her, who was bleeding from her mouth and nose and fainted.
"Let you be careful, but you have to force it to burst, and this time it hurts people by mistake."
Natya Vida said sarcastically.
"It's her own fault, she has to stand in front of the door...... Sister Xia! β
Agnes was unimpressed, and suddenly saw Natsu leaning against the rock wall, barely allowing herself to fall.
"She seems to have inhaled the poison gas just now."
Natya Vida ran to Natsu's side and helped her, looked at her face and said.
"This is poisoned by the flesh-eating plague Qin, and it is not life-threatening."
Agnes looked into her eyes and took some plant seeds from her body.
"But...... Sister Xia's eyes...... How did it turn purple? β
She thought strangely, and the movement of her hands did not stop.
Although this poison gas is purple, it won't make the eyes turn purple.
The seeds she took out were gray in color and had a strong smell on them, and the sudden smell could make people sneeze.
"Get some water."
Agnes said unceremoniously to Natia Vida.
"Whoosh."
Natya Vida didn't say anything, and a small water balloon condensed above her palm.
The two didn't know what had happened in the previous time, and the relationship that had eased up became very strange again.
ββ¦β¦ Agneth? β
Xia just inhaled a little poisonous gas, smelled the pungent smell and raised his head groggily, and said in surprise:
"Why are you here?"
As she saw her acquaintance, the color of her eyes began to fade, and she regained her original appearance.
"Sister Xia, you have been poisoned, I'll help you untie it first."
Agnes whispered.
"After, ...... behind"
Natsu pointed to the crowd behind him.
"This poison gas won't be fatal, and it's okay to save them later."
How could Agnes leave Natsu here to save the others, a black fire came out of her hand, and she roasted those gray seeds for a while and put them into the water balloon condensed by Natia Vida.
ββ¦β¦ How did you get here? I remember this door not being afraid of magic attacks. β
Agnes' potion was so effective that it didn't take long for her to regain her senses, and she sat there with her back against the rock wall, asking the two of them.
She remembered that the team members on Agnes' side were all French professions, and this door was magically insulated.
"We found a way from above and found a way to jump below...... As for the door, the exterior defense is generally very strong, and the interior is so-so. β
Agnes said lightly, as if it were a trivial thing to blast open a multi-ton metal door.
"Hey, why did you go in without permission? What to do in case of danger, what a recklessness! β
At this time, an unfamiliar voice came.
Xia Yi turned his head and found a girl with long pink hair approaching from a distance, followed by two people.
One of the two she recognized, it was Raven who had gone into hiding when she returned to the library;
As for the other, it was a figure she didn't expect.
"Mother Alyssa."
Natsu's face was a little ugly.
Unexpectedly, the tutors and clergy in the school garden were out, but the nun she had offended was still here.
Mother Alyssa gave her a faint look and did not speak.
Raven drew her sword and walked over to the fallen men, looking around vigilantly:
"What's going on? How did so many people fall. She asked slowly, in a low voice.
Before Xia could explain, the pink-haired girl suddenly walked up to her side and looked at her face condescendingly:
"Xia, I heard Nati Yavida and the others say, you are now the captain of this team? Why is everyone, including you, this wolf bΓ¨i...... It's ugly, HOHOHO! β
"Who is she?"
Looking at the girl in front of her who let out a gloating laugh, Natsu turned her head and asked Natia Vida and Agnes suspiciously.
"What...... What the?! β
Hearing her words, the pink-haired girl jumped up from the ground like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!
"Poof!"
Agnes couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sister Xia, a beautiful counterattack!
This kind of nasty guy, she should be given some color.
"This is Her Royal Highness Princess Evelyn, you should have seen it."
Natya Vida also held back a smile and introduced Xia to him.
