Section F: Chapter XXIV: Observation (Cyberdart)
The eyeballs were still sore, and the tears secreted were quickly dried by the cold wind, and even left some uncomfortable ice ballast in the corners of the eyes. Clenching the wooden arrow, the elf gently placed it on the bow, but did not pull the bowstring for a long time.
Perhaps due to the psychological pressure caused by the depletion of arrows, Cyberdat Ellens, out of caution, did not take it lightly. Instead, he began to keep an eye on the situation below: judging from the fact that the previous few arrows had not killed the opponent, it was not enough to have a noticeable effect on the enemy without attacking the vital points. As long as you can't find a way to make them visible, you shouldn't shoot blindly under any circumstances.
However, after more than ten seconds of staring, the elf, who was busy thinking about how to make it manifest, suddenly noticed a hint of incongruity: something was wrong, Lusa was out of the house, so where was Lucina?
Normally, it is impossible for the two sisters to be separated in a dangerous place...... Could it be that the guy fell asleep while eating a snack in the house? Confused by the whole situation, Seboda pulled the brim of his hat and patted his coat pocket to make sure the letter was still there. After settling his whole body against the trunk of the tree, he began to cast a spell to gain control of Nalo's body: if he didn't sit firmly and fall from such a tall tree, he would definitely die.
As soon as he remembered the consequences of the last time he was forced to quickly cast a spell to transfer his body from the time he controlled the demon, the elf felt a sense of helplessness: he couldn't cast a spell for a whole day and a night, which was really ugly for a half-hung mage.
Who was the person who pushed me off the cliff, and why couldn't I sense the connection between Nalor and Lusa for many days, even with the summoning stone?And, what was the memory that I vaguely felt was lost? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it all had something to do with the curse of loneliness that Lusa was carrying, and Sebodat hurried back to Eternal Winter with Vicor's message.
Since there is a distance limit every time he transfers his body to Nalo's side, the ranger "flies" back here intermittently. However, on the way to the Cold Snow Castle, he witnessed such a strange battle scene: two people faced different directions and kept dodging, fighting with the air. At first glance, I thought it was some kind of weird combat training.
Invisible...... Invisible...... Hundreds of years of experience had allowed the seasoned ranger to see many invisible enemies, so he watched the snow and mist beneath him, and pondered: since my arrows have been stuck in the body of the enemy before they can be seen, it may be a more advanced invisibility and illusion. If it's the latter, Lusa, who is an Aiya with a strong magic resistance, should not be affected.
Just as he was repositioning his gaze to the looming Lusa, the Ranger suddenly remembered something: he had just seen the blood that seemed to be left from the wounds of the arrows that were "floating" in the air.
In other words, neither the solid nor the liquid stuck in the enemy's body will be invisible together?, thinking about whether this sudden discovery makes sense, the elf ended the spell casting, and completely transferred the soul to Nallo. Using the body of an owl to fly quickly into the air to observe freely, he finally broke through the snow and fog after breaking through the heavy clouds.
Overlooking the land so close at hand, the elves are surprisingly calm because they are high in the sky. Even he felt the air flow begin to slow down. Even if they are also wind summons, they have to slow down their dive speed when fighting the wind with Nallow's body.
Under the night vision of his eyes, the elf noticed in an instant that the grass beside the road was moving unnaturally. After lowering the altitude again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Lucina was poking her head out and looking around. Within two seconds, she looked up and spotted the elf, and began to jump and wave to him excitedly.
Has this child's ADHD not been relieved...... Although he was happy to see her, Sebodat had to "coo" twice in response. Looking at Lucina's exaggerated body language by waving her arms, the elf, who had been born and died together for decades, immediately understood what the old friend was trying to say: she was caring for the wounded and could not go to war.
Since there were four of them in the ranks, the wounded man might be a mad dog...... Because the nickname was so distinct, the elf didn't even remember the man's name. Stretching his wings over the avenue, he stared at the three arrows that were constantly "flying" in the air, convinced that his suspicion was correct: the blood that flowed could already slightly outline part of the monster.
Lucina, as a skilled mage, couldn't have tried an area-of-effect dispel spell. Since the enemy still remains invisible, it must be because this invisibility spell is extremely unusual. From this point of view, if the blood and arrows were not hidden, why did the mist and snowflakes not have the same effect? It could not have been the darkness of the night that affected my judgment, for I was observing it all from the perspective of an owl......
At the moment when this thought popped up, another train of thought suddenly emerged in his heart: if he had to consider why the snow mist would not attach to the invisible body, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became. But what if you think about it the other way around?
That might be ...... These guys can only be invisible in a hazy mist. In the same way that some creatures can automatically hide their bodies in the darkness of no light, this may be some kind of passive creature ability rather than some sorcery. In this way, as long as the problem of snow fog is solved, they can be clearly seen.
Using a strong wind spell to blow away the snow mist might work?, the elf immediately decided to give it a try. Slowing down his wings, he landed lightly on a thicker tree trunk that was only six or seven meters above the ground. After a full ten seconds of casting, he safely transferred himself here and withdrew his soul from his body.
The wind around is so strong that if you want to interfere with the wind, you have to pour a lot of magic energy...... Looking up at the mage who was still jumping and shaking his arms, the elf lowered the brim of his hat and smiled bitterly: "Is this guy finished......?" But it's fun to just pretend you didn't see it, so just leave it alone and tease her.
Concentrating on channeling the magic to his left hand, the elf absorbed the wind energy around him, and after a few moments, a small ball of green light gathered in his palm. The spherical surface is constantly radiating a spiral of air and gradually expanding. Due to the extremely abundant wind elemental materials around him, all of this did not cost the Ranger too much magic.
Changing the mana composition of the orb, he changed the way the spell works to a diffuse burst instead of killing the hitpoint. After more than twenty seconds of continuous casting, the elf finally completed the spell.
