Chapter 53: The Shadow
The five people present were actually taken aback. At a depth of four thousand meters, inside the shipwreck, which has been silent for thousands of years, in the dark environment, the corpses of the dead float everywhere above the head and feet, and even the surrounding sea water smells of rotting corpses. In such a space, there are a few moving things that come out of no corner without warning, and whoever encounters such a thing will probably be frightened.
Both Pannis and Catherine were frightened, but Pannis was fortunate enough to detect the changes in the surrounding hydrology a second or two earlier than the others, and was slightly prepared, but the others were not so prepared until they heard Pannis's voice and turned their eyes to the shadow that suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, although Catherine was not mentally prepared, because of her trust in Pannis and the tacit cooperation cultivated during the adventure, her body took action one step ahead of her brain, and she held the magic steel shield in time to knock the three shadows to the side.
In a frightened state, the girls showed no mercy at all, and subconsciously sent out their most lethal attacks.
Girls who are accustomed to supporting each other can actually understand what tactics their teammates are going to use just by looking at one action, and they don't need to communicate with words at all. The moment she saw the shadows, Freya's limbs shook flexibly as if dancing, and small metal puppets the size of fists popped out of various parts of her body with her dancing, breaking through the sea water and approaching the three shadows at high speed, and there were more than a hundred metal puppets pasted from Freya's body, densely filling the space around the three shadows, completely obscuring the sight of both sides. At the same time, Vivien stepped on the deck of the ground and stomped her foot, activating one of the three auxiliary spells charged and solidified on the staff, a spherical space formed by energy enveloped the three shadows and the sea water around them, and the dense small golem was also wrapped in the spherical space.
The spherical space is not as simple as building an energy barrier to wrap the target, but really creates a distorted closed space, although the target can still be seen visually, but in fact the target has been enclosed in a small space formed by magic, unless the caster is unable to support this closed space, or the target bursts its own energy to break the blockade of the space, otherwise the inside and outside of the closed space will be completely in two worlds, unable to affect each other. When she was promoted to Legendary, Vivien's magic purity had made a qualitative leap, and this improvement was clearly reflected at this time. The original Vivian, no matter how strong her spell-casting ability is, no matter how high her magic control is, but she is limited by the purity of her magic power, even if she exhausts the magic power of her whole body in an instant, she can't cast such a spell, but now Vivian can easily solidify the magic on the staff and activate the magic when needed, and the whole process seems very easy.
As soon as the locked space was formed, the miniature metal golem released by Freya began to explode itself. The miniature puppets did not explode at the same time, nor did they simply explode, the energy that each of Freya's puppets burst out of was elemental energy of different attributes, more than a hundred puppets were at different nodes, and they exploded in turn in different order, which seemed to be chaotic, but when the last puppet exploded, a whirlwind of energy that collapsed inward immediately blew up in the closed space, and the vortex energy storm continued to absorb the surrounding magic power, as for the provider of magic power, it was naturally Vivian who maintained the closed space. That's right, the real point of this attack is not the locked space, nor the explosion of the miniature golem, the real point of the attack is to condense the magical energy released by Vivien, which is equivalent to allowing Vivien to use countless attack magic on the same location at the same time.
Even the most powerful Legendary-level professionals would not dare to be attacked by a mage like Vivien with a large amount of magic at the same time, not to mention that this was not only Vivian's attack, this was the strongest attack issued by two Legendary-level professionals combined. As a result, the three shadows that were trapped in the locked space for a while fell into a rather miserable situation, and the restrained energy vortex continued to bombard the three of them, constantly causing damage to the three of them, and the three of them could only hold up the Dou Qi shield and struggled to support it, and they didn't even have room for explosive energy to break through the locked space.
It has only been five seconds since the two girls began to attack, but in the closed space, the agitation energy has been very concentrated, the light and shadow are strangely distorted, and from time to time colorful light flows from the edge of the closed space, and the closed space has begun to become more and more unstable. Vivien frowned, glanced at Catherine's eyes, and clapped her hands lightly, and the energy vortex visible to the naked eye followed, followed by an obvious introverted collapse, and the three struggling shadows were driven by the suction generated by the collapse, squeezed together in the center of the vortex, and suffered the last and strongest injury, and their bodies turned into a cloud of smoke, and disappeared into the locked space with the energy vortex.
"Legion ramparts. Catherine unleashed her long-prepared knightly skills. After being promoted to Legendary, Catherine's fighting style as a knight didn't seem to have changed significantly, as if there was nothing else except for the significant increase in physical fitness due to the breakthrough. But in reality, this is not the case, the real change in Catherine is that her defense has reached the point where it is a headache for all enemies, just like not long ago on a floating ship, without a shield in her hand, she can still resist a demigod-level attack. Every professional knows that the demigod is located at the apex of all living beings, almost invincible, although the legendary level and the demigod are only one order, but the demigod can often kill the legendary level in seconds with a wave of his hand, even if it is a demigod mage, the power of ** alone may not be much worse than a legendary-level physical professional, so you can hard-catch a demigod's attack, which is enough to show the degree of Catherine's improvement after the advancement.
Of course, her improvement is not only manifested in defense, but also in the strength and range of her skills, when she releases the legion barrier, it is at least five times larger than the original range, and the shimmer area representing the skill range completely blocks all the waters around the locked space from all angles up and down, left and right, which is equivalent to forming a defensive circle outside the closed space.
The next moment, the closed space quietly collapsed, and the energy turbulence that filled the space lost its restraint and exploded in all directions, and the calm sea water was flooded with a turbulent undercurrent under the impact of energy, spreading towards the periphery like a tsunami. If the undercurrent is allowed to erupt, the members of the nearby adventure party may not be harmed by their shields, but under the powerful impact of the undercurrent, this undersea shipwreck will definitely not be saved, and the undercurrent can easily tear the long-decayed shipwreck to pieces, so that no trace of it can be found on the bottom of the sea.
However, as soon as the turbulent undercurrent began to spread, it collided head-on with Catherine's Legion Barrier, which was enough to destroy the impact of the entire wreck, but it could not bring any shaking to the Legion Barrier, and the sea water continued to swell and crash in the area blocked by the barrier, and the impact force carried by it was consumed little by little, and finally calmed down.
"What's that?" The girls finally calmed down completely, and Vivien asked with a strange face, "Which of you can see clearly?"
"I don't know. Freya shook her head and said, "I don't see it clearly, it seems to be ...... It seems like just a few shadows. ”
"It's the shadow. It was also the first time that Pannis had seen such a thing, and scratched his head in confusion: "It looks like a human form, but the body is always twisting and shaking, as if the form is very unstable." ”
"But that's not right. Catherine said, "It can't be a shadow, don't forget that I could have knocked them away with the collision, if it was a shadow, I wouldn't have been able to hit the entity at all." ”
"How did you feel when you collided?" Pannis asked, "You're the only one of us who has been in indirect contact." ”
Catherine frowned, tapping her forehead and trying to remember the feeling at the time: "It's hard to describe, there is a sensation of impact, but it really doesn't look like **, it's more like crashing into a cloud of colloid." yes, that's right, it's gum, it's not only soft, but it's also elastic, and you remember when I knocked the three of them into the air, they popped out. ”
"It can't be some controlled sea tribe. Vivien asked with some weakness: "Then we hit him head-on, and he was directly killed, and there was no body left." ”
"I've never heard of such a sea tribe. Pannis shook his head and said, "If it's really the Sea Clan, although your attack just now is strong, it won't completely smash their corpses." So I'm more inclined to them as a semi-physical ...... It can't be called a creature, a semi-physical thing. ”
"But whatever they are, there must be wisdom. Catherine said: "I have noticed that they can use Dou Qi, and only intelligent beings can use Dou Qi, this is an impossible rule to be crossed, so they must belong to intelligent beings." ”
"Alas, if I had known, I wouldn't have had to attack so strongly. Vivien sighed and said, "Maybe I can ask clearly." ”
"No, your choice is the most correct. "They appear with a very strong hostility, and I don't think I can communicate with them normally," Pannis said. You also felt it just now, those three shadows are all the strength of the legendary level, and if they really fight, this ship may be destroyed at any time. ”
"Hey, you guys. Isabella, who was ignored by everyone, remained silent until she would no longer interfere with the battle of several people, and then crossed her waist and said, "How long are you ready to ignore this king?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Pannis soothed, "I'm so sorry I forgot about you." ”
"Hmph, you guess and guess there, why don't you come and ask the king?" said Isabella, looking back, "Give your souls, and the king may be happy to tell you what it is." (To be continued.) )
