Chapter 18 of Section C: The Spell of Revenge (Lucina)

Narrowing her eyes slightly in the direction of the door, Lucina was shocked - the dimly lit room was empty, except for herself lying on the bed and pretending to sleep.

The footsteps continued to grow, drawing closer and closer to the bed. Aya felt an instinctive danger, and her heart was pounding.

Controlling the urge to get up, Lucina planned to see what the visitor wanted to do.

The footsteps stopped beside him, and a silence came. Opening her eyes again and looking ahead, Lucina, who had been aroused by curiosity, remained motionless, waiting for the comer to act.

He seemed to just stand still, trying to see if I was really asleep...... Lucina struggled to control her nervous and rapid breathing, lest the man notice something unusual and leave: perhaps the man was the poisoner. If you wait for him to let down his vigilance and take the initiative to appear, he can easily subdue him later.

According to Mad Dog's description, this person cannot run when he is invisible, and teleportation is also limited by distance...... Lucina made a rough estimate and felt that he couldn't teleport out the door directly from the bedside.

After a few minutes, the man did not move. Lucina couldn't help but wonder if he had teleported away.

Thinking like this, Aya suddenly felt that she couldn't pretend anymore. She desperately wanted to get up and go to the hallway and Lusa to see if anything was out of the ordinary.

At this moment, the figure of the man suddenly appeared in front of the girl's eyes out of thin air. The man was dressed in a guard uniform and carried a long sword at his waist.

Why isn't it like an old man like Lady Nadia?Lucina wondered in her heart: Also, why are you wearing the clothes and armor of the guards of the Snow Castle...... He's become someone else's again?

He turned slightly and reached for his waist. Slowly and quietly drawing his weapon, he slashed at Lucina's neck.

Reacting at this moment, Lucina, who was taken aback, hurriedly channeled her mana to release a close-range shockwave centered on herself. The blaster knocks down the sword and sends the enemy staggering backwards.

Quickly getting to her feet, Lucina picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground and clenched it with both hands. Staring at the enemy's face, she was surprised to realize that it was the soldier she had just spoken to.

"Mad Dog, Knight, Lusa! come and help!" Lucina's first instinct was to shout at her teammates. The enemy glared angrily at Aya and took a step back, her form disappearing in an instant.

"In front of a mage like me, you still want to run?" Lucina quickly cast a spell with a mana net, unleashing a half-meter diameter magic spell towards the door. The enemy's form was immediately exposed, and he slammed into the door in a hurry.

In order to prevent him from escaping through the door, Aya cast another quick spell and froze the door. The man slammed into the ice and was knocked to the ground by the reaction.

I've got to get some information...... Lucina gritted her teeth: "But you have to be prepared. You can't let him go like Mad Dog did.

With her third quick spell in a row, Lucina stared at the rising enemy and directed her anti-devouring spell. In order to conserve mana, Lucina only infused a small amount of arcane energy into this spell - according to her judgment, the enemy's spell level was very low. It is clear from the fact that you have to walk slowly in stealth.

Sure enough, the enemy, who was eager to flee, suddenly shone with a faint red light. He cried out in pain and fell to his knees clutching his heart.

Just as I expected, he used teleportation. Lucina is smug: the Counter-Devouring Spell is triggered the moment he casts the spell. In this way, not only can he interrupt his casting, but it can also burn the mana in his body exponentially and block the casting for a period of time.

However, at this moment, a huge wave of doubt swept through his mind. Lucina felt a strong sense of disobedience: this guy was definitely not the mage who made her feel amazingly powerful. After all, the difference in mana strength between the two is too big - if it was the mage who used his hands and feet on the altar and killed Quill and the other three, then he would definitely not be restrained by himself, let alone use such a low-grade invisibility spell.

There was a loud knock on the door, and Anusen's anxious voice came to Lucina's ears: "Lucina, why can't the door open?"

"I've frozen it, and I'm going to thaw it right now - watch the door, don't let this guy get away!" Lucina looked at the enemy holding her heart and panting again, and lifted the freeze on the door.

The knight and three guards rushed through the door, grabbed the man's shoulders and dragged him down the hallway.

"This guy has been sealed by me, and he can't put spells for the time being. As soon as she walked out of the room with her sword, her sister threw herself into her arms.

"Look, sister, am I very good?" Lucina proudly touched her sister's head: "Put him down in three or two clicks." ”

"How long will your spell still work?" Arnusen drew his sword and pointed it at the man's eye socket, "Don't let him teleport away again." ”

"Half an hour at least. Lucina coughed dryly, "If it's necessary to keep him alive, I can construct a magic circle in a cell in the dungeon of Frost Castle." Guaranteed he won't be able to run. ”

"I'll report to the captain, and you watch him. One of the guards threw down the words and ran quickly to the end of the hallway.

"You ordered the poison?" Anusen angrily tugged at the enemy's clothes: "Speak quickly, don't play stupid!"

The man looked at the knight coldly, not at all intending to speak.

"I don't think it's the same person I met. Keeping squinting at this side, Mad Dog suddenly spoke: "Knight, check his left shoulder - my throwing knife is very deep and it will not heal for so many hours." ”

Immediately moving his hand, the knight ripped off the man's shoulder: "There are no wounds. ”

"I think so. Seresa shook her head: "That is, there is another mage besides this guy. And it's only a half-baked spell. ”

Before Anusen could open his mouth to ask another question, the man burst out laughing maniacally, broke free from the knight, and stood up.

Reacting immediately, Anusen punched his foe. However, an extremely cold icy aura suddenly burst and spread around the enemy's body, slowing the knight's movements. As his eyes flickered like a cold blue light of the Corrupted, he flicked his arm, and a shockwave that shook his eardrums spread, knocking everyone into the air and knocking them to the wall.

This guy ...... Lucina lifted herself up in pain, only to find that the man's form had dissipated into the frost.

With a screeching sound that cracked through the air, something flew overhead at high speed and stabbed into the air. Forty meters away, deep in the hallway, the enemy's figure slowly emerged out of thin air and fell straight to the ground.

On his back, there were three throwing knives stuck deep in his back.
