Section C Chapter 33: Divine Impact (Lucina)
Lucina, who was casting a spell and cut off from her external consciousness, was knocked down by a violent impact and slammed into the wall. Covering her forehead in severe pain, Aiya hurriedly opened her eyes: What happened?
Soon, she had the answer: the remnants of pure and sacred mana rippled in the air around her. The knight had just unleashed a shockwave in this direction.
Why did he do that? Lucina looked around in confusion: there were no enemies around here.
"Lucina, get up quickly!" Letting go of the talisman in his hand, the knight got up from the ground anxiously: "There is a very powerful clone that just wants to attack you. β
"Huh, where?" Lucina stood up, confused.
"Before the shockwave could hit him, it was gone. The knight looked around warily: "He must still be in this room." β
"How's your barrier lifted?" asked the mad dog, rubbing his back, impatiently.
"It's almost there. Lucina looked at the black-purple energy gate that was slowly returning to its original state, and couldn't help but become depressed again: "But it was interrupted just now...... This is a waste of all the work. β
"Let's get rid of that guy. Anusen turned around anxiously: "Why hasn't you come out for so long?"
"Maybe they've fled. Mad Dog suddenly interjected: "Otherwise there is no reason for him to hide, knight ......"
"Escape?" the knight shook his head puzzled, "What's the need?"
"That's just a guess, but it's probably true. Mad Dog coughed dryly and threw his sword on the ground, "Your shockwave is a trick of the Templars, right? That guy was probably afraid of divine energy, so he fled." β
"It's possible. Anusen hesitated for a moment and placed the shield sword on the table: "But we can't let our guard down. β
"Whatever you want. Ceresya patted the dust on her body and picked up a knife that had fallen to the ground: "I need to pick them all up...... Lucina, cast a spell and open the damn door. β
"I can try to detect if he's gone. Lucina thought for a moment and leaned closer to the energy gate: "Knight, can you tell me the exact location of his disappearance?"
"Right where you're standing right now. The knight reminded, "He almost stabbed you before." β
"This ...... So close?" A panic struck, and Lucina was afraid for a while: "It's so hanging......"
"Isn't it? The knight's reaction was deadly. Mad Dog snorted, "I say, Knight...... You haven't used an amulet in twenty years, how did you use the Holy Shock so smoothly?"
"As long as you are religious, pray every day, and always keep in mind the rules of the Templars. At the mention of the faith, Anusen's expression was unusually firm: "One of the great duties of the Templars is to protect their companions......"
"Come on, I'm too lazy to listen to you. It's a good thing you never say anything about your prayers, or I'll be annoyed. Picking up another throwing knife, Mad Dog teased the knight: "Since you are so religious, why didn't you think of opening a Celestial Wing Sect in Tomeca City, where the mainstream belief is the Holy Sect of Light, to spread the doctrine and gospel?"
"I had no intention of getting involved in religious struggles. There is no interest in engaging in any incitement to faith. Anusen pinched the talisman solemnly: "Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the Light Holy Sect. It is also bright and good, but many sects have taken a bit of a wrong path in some aspects......"
"Like the Glorious Sect in the Tomeka Plains. Picking up the last throwing knife, Mad Dog stretched his back: "Lucina, I see you're fascinated by what you're listening to! Are you sure the guy left?"
"Ah, not yet. Lucina, who was distracted, turned her head in embarrassment: "I'll do it as soon as possible." β
Incentrating on the remnants of her mana, Lucina immediately felt the power of divine energy, and the pure faint primordial arcane powerβfrom the amulet and the magic pistol, respectively.
How could she not sense the traces of other spells?After strengthening the strength of the spell perception, Lucina was extremely surprised: she could not sense even a trace of the dark element except for the barrier.
"Is it done? It's been a few minutes!" the mad dog's impatient voice came into the cochlea.
"What's the hurry?" Lucina stomped her foot in frustration, intending to continue her fruitless perception: the caster was so cautious that he deliberately erased all traces of the spell's release. The purpose of this is nothing more than to prevent outsiders from sensing the mana model of their spells.
"I still wonder why this guy didn't come and kill us himself. Mad Dog was busy wiping his sword with a rag, and casually proposed: "Even if you want to observe our strength, you have done too much." This is good, we have a few catties and a few taels that he can see clearly. β
"Perhaps he can't do it himself, so he can only do it by attaching himself to a copy of the Bachelor. Anusen was silent for a moment, then continued: "For example, the clone of that guard can easily do this kind of thing - make everyone in the East and West Corridors disappear due to spells. β
"It's also possible. Mad Dog glanced at Lucina, "Don't bother to investigate any mana remnants! I don't think you've found anything at all, you're just stiffening...... Hurry up and lift the barrier! Don't waste Lao Tzu's time. β
"Uh......h That's right. Worried that she couldn't get off the stage, Lucina immediately accepted Mad Dog's proposal: "Now, I said...... How about a few of us sleep on the couch in the living room tonight?"
"What should I do if my waist hurts?" Mad Dog immediately sang the opposite: "You're just scared, aren't you? I'm afraid that the mage will come to you again at night......"
"Who, who said that!" Lucina was embarrassed when she was said: "I'm worried about Lusa......"
"Alright, don't say anything useless. No lying skills at all. Seresa waved her hand proudly: "I think this is a good opinion." Everyone stays together and takes care of it. β
"Exactly three couches. The knight sighed, "Be careful tonight, we'll take turns keeping vigil." β
"No, I'll just send Guladan to watch it. Lucina immediately proposed, "No, let Miniaβ"
"Stone Devil can, just forget about the dumplings. The mad dog looked at the ball in Lusa's arms with disdain: "What can that thing do? It's just a toy for children to hold and play." β
The pink bean paste dumplings seemed to be upset and shouted loudly in protest. However, the protest sounded just cute, and it was not intimidating.
"It's useless for you to call. Mad Dog smugly knocked on the table: "If you don't accept it-"
An eerie sound came from the energy. Mad Dog's words were choked back: "What's the matter?"
All eyes were on the barrier. The black-purple glow in the center of the energy portal faded and was replaced by a blurry first-person image.
