Chapter 45: Doubts
The scythe sliced through the monster's body with a fierce chill, causing it to dissipate into a shadow with a clatter.
The scythe, with its transparent ice blade, was also immediately withdrawn due to the end of the battle. Aya, who had finished at the same time as the kill, swirled slightly and swung it in an arc to finish. At the same time, the beautiful scythe instantly transformed into a staff in his hand.
"Okay, so fast......" As soon as he pulled out his sword, the witcher suddenly realized what the difference in speed was: the real Rusha was really too strong. The Shadow Fiend didn't seem to react.
There are so many combat moves that Aya does that are hard to see.
When I looked down from the top of the building, I saw monsters gathered from shadows in some places.
I just didn't notice that there was one in the courtyard of the church!(Although it is normal to say that there is.) οΌ
It's just hiding in the grass, and you can't find it at all if you don't pay attention.
By the time it was discovered, it might have been too lateβnot necessarily as agile as Lusha, of course.
With the battle resolved, Lusha apparently slowed down a lot. Because she seems to feel that it is not safe here. Sure enough, the two of them didn't go far before a new Shadow Demon rushed out in human form, picked up a sharp axe and attacked. But before the witcher could draw his silver sword, Lusa suddenly kicked the axe, slitting her throat with the dagger, causing her to turn back into a shadow and lose her human form.
The second enemy jumped out from the other side, and just when Canette thought it was finally time for her to do something, Lutha slid her spear and shook the monster away with a shock, and at the same time threw out a dagger and pierced the monster's chest, breaking through the shadow's condensed body.
At the same time, he suddenly summoned the dagger to jump up, kicked the wall back, and rode on the shoulder of the last monster that suddenly rushed out, and his white legs suddenly parted with force, directly twisting the enemy's neck and defeating the last monster.
Aya jumped back to the ground with ease, put away her weapon, straightened the hem of her miniskirt, and turned to continue walking like no one was fine.
Carnett, on the other hand, held the silver sword that was about to stab the enemy, and suddenly felt like a fool.
There are four shadows here, so let me kill one of them!
I didn't even touch any enemies, but was it okay?!
Although she felt a sense of loss, Canette also developed more trust and admiration for Lusha.
So staying with Lusha really gives me a strong sense of security.
She's really a pretty competent and trustworthy bodyguard, and she's doing it all with ease.
Just seeing Lusha's face makes people feel reassured.
And apparently, this was the last attack.
No more Shadow Fiends.
Of course, Lusa's vigilance didn't dissipate in the slightest.
She stayed by the witcher's side, alerting for possible monsters until the two left the church.
In Cannet's field of vision, the summoning charms of Lucina and Eno appeared. The witcher looked at the light of the Tower of Remembrance and remembered the vastness of the ruins when he looked down from the clock tower, and suddenly realized that there was still no convenient way to reach the Tower of Remembrance through the ruins of memory. It's a long way to go, and it takes too much time.
Of course, if there is a teleportation stone nearby, it is a different matter, and you can teleport back quickly...... He remembered that Luca had said that he knew where the nearest stone tablet was.
Lift the shadows that fill the surroundings, and everything is easy to say.
But I still have to go to the teleportation stone. Even Lucina couldn't help. Who's to say that spirits can't put portals?
Regardless, Canette was going to summon Lucina and the others first.
So, he first touched Ino's summoning charm and called it out. Eno was relieved to see that Canette was fine.
However, after summoning Lucina, he froze for a moment, and found that this big-hearted fellow was lying on the ground in a large shape and sleeping defenselessly.
"......" Ino crouched down and reached out to poke her face. But this Aiya slept very deeply, and even showed a smirk.
I don't know what I'm dreaming about.
Lutha crouched down as well, but she just hugged Lucina and patted her on the back.
This directly caused Lucina to sleep even deeper.
"Hey, that's not right!" Canette reacted to something was wrong, grumbling, "Wake her up!"
Lusa looked disappointed, but tried to nudge her, trying to wake Lucina up. Of course, this attempt did not work. In the end, it was Cannet who chose to kick him awake.
Lusha looked sorry for having to do thisβshe couldn't wake her up without violence.
Lucina wailed silently, clutching her stomach and waking up suddenly, rolling on the ground in pain. If it weren't for the spirit state, most of them would have screamed.
However, when she woke up and saw that everyone was fine, she naturally began to get excited.
Next, at Lusha's suggestion, the group went to the nearby stone monument to ask Canette to return to the Tower of Remembrance, and then asked the witcher to wait there for the three of them to return.
However, when the witcher arrived at the Tower of Remembrance, he was puzzled to find that the gray-haired man was gone. I searched the whole tower up and down, but I didn't see anyone.
Doesn't this guy have a commission for us...... Where did it go?
Until all three Aya returned as entities, Canette didn't wait for the gray-haired man to appear.
"What about that guy?" the witcher was puzzled, so he stood up and asked, "I thought he was staying here." β
"That's right, he's waiting here. Lucina was curious, and after thinking about it, she added, "Could it be that he is worried that we will go out and look for it?"
"That guy, it won't. Lusha disagreed with the idea, and fell silent. After a while, she raised her head and proposed, "Sister, what happened today is a little strange, you better go back first." β
"Waitβwhat commission are you going to give me?" As soon as the witcher heard this, he hurriedly preemptively asked, "Why don't we settle it together today?" β
β...... Let's talk about that another day. Lusha shook her head, as if worried, "It's not a good day to do this. I'll send you back to the entrance to the Nightsong Forest. β
So, although Carnet was still a little unwilling, he had to leave with these doubts.
The whole thing made him feel like he was completely shrouded in a fog.
And in the depths of the church at this time.
The gray-haired man pushed open the door to the room, and the sound of the door opening was particularly nervous.
The moment he noticed that the door lock was gone, he felt a bad premonition.
Grayhair set his sights on where the holy object that sealed the demon was supposed to be.
But the things there are gone.
While the man looked irritated, he heard a wail in the distance.
