Section F Chapter 21: Invisible Vision (Anusen)
With this in mind, he looked around carefully again, frowned and asked in the most gentle voice possible, "Lusa, where are they still there?"
"Well, still standing there and moving. Something seems to be being discussed. But the wind was too loud to hear. After glancing back, Lusha timidly said, "And her eyes are still glowing with blue light......
Hearing this, the knight was shocked: the night is so deep that any light should be seen clearly. But why didn't I see it?
There was no way Lusha could have lied, she said that if she saw it, she must have seen it. This child's words must not be ignored by himself. You have to trust her. But if you consider this premise, there can only be one possibility......
That is, the monster that these two hunters turned into invisible. That's why they've been unnoticed for so many days. If illusion is also taken into account, there is no way to start. If Lusha could see through the stealth, it would explain all this.
The knight turned his head suspiciously to look at Lucina, but the latter continued to comfort Lusa as if he didn't notice anything wrong. This meant that she didn't see the blue light either, and she didn't even think about the contradictions. The more he thought about it, the more strange it felt, and after finally confirming the existence of no blue light, Anusen suddenly asked Lusa, "Kid, can you see Mad Dog when he was invisible before?"
"Hey, my brother has never been invisible in front of me. Looking at the knight suspiciously, Lusa's pupils reflected a faint green glow—during the day, her pupils were brown. Like a real wolf cub, the girl's eyes are distinct from day and night. However, the wildness, strength, and chilling light of a wolf soul were desperately lacking in her eyes. If they hadn't heard her say it in person, no one would have thought that this girl was a descendant of the Shadow Wolf King.
She inherited all the blood power of her father's generation, but she didn't know how to play it because of her pure heart. The knight, who had seen something like this in her youth, knew very well that once this shackle of mind was released for some reason, she would dig out the timidity of all young wolves and become a wolf soul in her own right. However, in the knight's opinion, it was better never to come - because the cost of such growth would be greater than Lusha could have imagined. She wasn't ready to harness them yet.
"That's right. He didn't expect that the show-off mad dog hadn't performed the magic of the sword with Lusha, and the knight was stunned for a long time to think about what to do next: was there a time when Lusa had a chance to see someone invisible?
As the curious Lucina kept urging her questions, the knight suddenly remembered what she had experienced many days ago. Covering Lucina's noisy mouth, the knight subconsciously looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "That...... Remember one night when a clone tried to assassinate your sister but was subdued?
"No. Shaking her head in confusion, Lusa tugged at her hood and completely hid her face underneath: "Uncle Knight, do you think I can see invisible things?"
"That's what I just thought. But not now. Acknowledging this, Anusen became a little worried: it seems that she was wrong, Lusa does not have the ability to see through invisibility, but it is also true that she and Lucina did not find blue light, how can this be explained......
"Ah! they're coming this way. Just as Lucina opened her mouth to look at the knight with a surprised expression, Lusa reminded in an extremely nervous tone: "Those two monsters split up and outflanked the mad dog from the left and right flanks...... respectively."
It seems that we have hidden it very well and have not been discovered, and we were worried about whether the voice could be heard...... The strings in his head immediately tightened, and the knight's right hand involuntarily rested on the hilt of the sword, clenching it like a life-saving straw. Although the air swept by the howling wind was extremely cold, the palms of his hands were still faintly oozing slippery cold sweat.
"Only Lusha can see them. Then sister, you're in charge of shooting first when the monster gets close to the mad dog. After that, stay here to cover the knight's melee combat. Her voice trembled with excitement, and Lucina let go of her sister's arm with a regretful expression: "I'm useless, so I can only trouble you." ”
"Hmm. Pulling out two different-looking pistols, each powered by a block of magic energy and a steam pipe, Lusa raised her hood slightly to get a bigger view, "I'm not going to let them touch my brother." ”
Lusha's marksmanship is absolutely fine...... Holding the talisman on his chest, the knight nervously prayed that everything would go well: the mad dog may have been prepared for the approaching danger, but his body was absolutely too cold to defend himself. Even if you can't track the monsters to their hiding place, you must at least save Selesa. This guy is willing to be such a dangerous bait, then he must have great trust in us......
After the faint sound of Lusha's release of the insurance dissipated into the wind, several of them fell silent. An extremely tense breath spread through the air, as if sucking out all words. However, it didn't make the three of them wait too long, and just a dozen seconds later, the sound of swift footsteps in two different directions loomed in their ears, and gradually became clear.
It's getting closer...... Picking up the shield that had been removed from his back and ready to be equipped as gently as possible, the knight listened to the footsteps in his ears, and even his breath began to tighten. The sound of the wind constantly harassed his cochlea's judgment, and he felt a dry run in his throat: it was not because of the cold wind squeezing in from the corners of his mouth.
Drawing his sword slightly, the knight straightened up and prepared to sprint at any moment, and urgently changed his sitting position in order to take care of his slightly numb ankle. At the moment when the sound of the wild rush approached from more than ten meters away, a violent stomping sound suddenly struck: it was obvious that it was the sound of a monster jumping up.
At that moment, the silent Lusha fired several shots at an unbelievable speed. A monster let out a wail and fell heavily from the air to the ground. Without stopping the shooting, Lusha pinned it to the ground, immobilizing it at all. At that moment, however, the other on the left changed direction, and the sound of footsteps rushed straight into the grass—it was clear that it was going to attack Lusa.
Unlike the clones, these creatures don't show up when attacked?, and the knight reacted immediately to Lusa's panicked screams, rushing out of cover. His calves, which had not moved for a long time, were slightly numb, and he hunched over to maintain his balance, relying on pure prediction to smash the shield in his hand.
