Chapter 123: The Masquerade (Part II)
On the way, Cindy shot and killed hundreds of unidentified creatures that emerged from the aerial gate, and the battle continued until the two entered a forest.
After being dragged into the forest with only various giant mushrooms, Ulysses sees a small tree that seems out of place in this world.
In fact, if you only look at the appearance, this small tree is only more than two meters tall and covers about three meters of shade. But in this forest where even mushrooms grow cotton, this small tree that is exactly the same as the original world is eye-catching.
"Quick, get in, those guys will be coming out of the door again soon. Sentil pulled Ulysses and took him with him, and the figures of the two entered the tree in an incredible way.
Inside the tree is a small tree house, all of which are automatically woven of green rattan, and there are many fresh fruits hanging on the walls, from bananas from the south to black grapes, which are unique to the desert.
There was a fragrant scent of flowers wafting through the air, and several pots of beautiful golden flowers were transplanted on the table in the center of the house. Compared to the weird and twisted world outside, it's as calm as a paradise.
"Ulysses, are you alright!" The owner of the treehouse, Kira, the emerald prince from the fairy forest, looked at Ulysses who had been brought back by Cindy with joy, and did not hide his happiness in the slightest.
"With me, everything is fine, and I will protect my sweetheart well. Cindy puffed up her chest, and now that she has power, she will naturally use it well.
A witch who doesn't capture her sweetheart's heart is not a good witch - Cindy.
"I'm fine, I just came back to the academy today. Cindy, Kira, what the hell is going on with the Academy?" Ulysses asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
Sendy and Kira looked at each other, then nodded.
Kira closed her eyes and began to use some kind of communication plant magic, and the entire treehouse trembled slightly, and the camouflage enchantment that enveloped the treehouse was strengthened again for a short time, blocking out some ill-intentioned fluctuations.
"Actually, I don't know when it started, but when I paid attention, the cuties around me started to put on makeup. At first I thought it was just a New Year's celebration, but soon ......" Sendy began to brief Ulysses about the strange things that had happened at the Radiant Academy in the past few days.
The opening time of the "dance party" is no longer verifiable, but since three days ago, junior students have been participating in it one after another. The academy found out that it was about noon three days ago, because it was impossible for so many students to participate in the New Year's celebration so enthusiastically, let alone perform in costume themselves.
But when I found out that this situation was out of control, as if sensing the shock of the academy, the process of the "ball" was accelerated by more than ten times in one breath, and in just a few hours, except for a very small number of strong-willed strongmen, the absolute majority of people were pulled into the "ball".
And the people who were pulled into the "prom" directly gained all kinds of special powers, and they united to block the few remaining departments of the academy that still had defensive capabilities.
Since it was really impossible to hurt these ordinary students, and they had to consider the impact of their accident on the entire continent, including the dean of the academy and the powerhouses among many teachers, they were helpless for a short time.
And after the end of the first day, more powerful creatures begin to appear. These giant monsters possess a strength that even the deans and teachers of the Radiant Academy are shocked, and there are more than one, and things have been ossified since they appeared.
Unclear what they were for, these powerful creatures were just responsible for keeping the powerhouses in check, and then letting the masquerade continue. The grand dance has been going on for three days now, as if it was waiting for some guests, and it shows no signs of stopping to this day.
And in addition to the giant monsters that infested the special area, there were also the unidentified creatures that surrounded Ulysses just now. Despite their harmless appearance, Cindy watched a careless teacher get entangled in the creature and end up in the doors. By the time she saw him the next time, he had turned into a clown who had lost the ball.
However, what is even more terrifying is not these, but covers this field of the entire Radiant Academy. In this realm, even the large war-grade light curtain that had been protecting the Radiant Academy was out of control, causing all those who tried to break through the blockade to fail.
In this realm, there is some imperceptible force that affects the human spirit, and even weak-willed teachers have begun to fail against it and end up being pulled into masquerade.
And the two of them relied on Kira's power to build a camouflage base here and survived, searching for the truth about this ball while looking for possible survivors.
"You're the first person I know to come back from outside, and sure enough, my little sweetheart is strong-willed and as unaffected by this realm as I am. It doesn't matter, as long as we work together, we will definitely find the hidden black hand, take it out and everything will be back to normal. ”
"I see......" Ulysses, knowing what was happening here, fell into deep thought.
This is definitely not such a simple event as Xian Di thought, even an eighth-level powerhouse with incredible strength like Yayu is in a predicament, and it is obvious that the strength of the opponent is by no means extraordinary.
The power to distort reality, the power to make all ordinary people enter the "ball". The terrifying Ulysses of this power knows better than anyone that it is a legendary realm that is in no way inferior to the "inherent barrier".
What was hidden in the darkness? Ulysses recalled the characteristics of this life that Ayu had told him at that time.
"It's a very dangerous thing!"
"It's not big, but it's the type that can eat a lot of things. It's fast, it's fast, it's fast ”
"It's scary, scary. ”
Eating a lot of things, could it just want to eat, that's why this masquerade was held? Ulysses had some vague guesses.
But with such great power, you can't get your hands on any food. Even in this harsh winter, in this icy and snowy land, a life with such power is easy to eat no matter what creature you want, even if it is cannibalism.
For now, it doesn't mean that it needs to eat any meat. It was clear that it needed something to get out of here and stay in the Radiant Academy until this masquerade party was launched.
What does it want to eat?
