Act 6: Beak and Claw (5)

Images flooded into his mind, and the overload of information made Flick's head a little uncomfortable, but it was much better than the initial headache. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As William Coulter said, this ability is probably innate, but it has been too weak to be detected by Frick in the past. After drinking those red potions, this ability was amplified, and his body was constantly adapting to this power.

Frick felt that it was necessary for him to describe the picture he was "seeing" in a different way when he wrote about what was happening here, because he knew that he was not witnessing what was happening in that picture with his eyes, but that there was a sense beyond the ordinary that guided him.

The vision that didn't belong to it cut through the thick cold fog that blocked it, past the twisted monsters that entrenched in front of it, and rose to the sky that overlooked the wasteland. This is already a height that is difficult for humans to reach, and everything that exists around us can be seen in full view.

Time seemed to slow down, and he found that Curt had noticed the anomaly that was happening in him, but his movements seemed to be slowed down nearly a hundred times. However, that didn't mean he was any faster, as Flick soon noticed that his movements looked just as funny as Curt's.

It seems that only consciousness is accelerated, or rather, only a small part of consciousness that is projected into the mind, and the rest remains at the original level. Unable to grasp such a gap, the moment Frick tried to turn his head to deal with Curt, his body flipped over due to uncoordinated movements, and what should have been only a few seconds seemed to him as long as a day.

It was a strange sensation, and he could even feel the touch of the cold air gradually passing through his side as he fell, as if they had even become a near-solid gel. Because the process was so slow, he even had time to look at the map that had been sent to his mind.

The storm mixed with the cold fog swept over the barren ground like a tidal wave, and in the gap between the "waves", one or two gray-black boulders could occasionally be seen standing high above the earth. At a little higher up, you can see layers of heavy lead clouds piling up on the oddly shaped side of the mountain.

What appeared to him was a map of the surrounding area, which in the past was only accessible to creatures that could soar high into the sky. He could even see the slender tower next to the main building of the Leinster house rising through the mist in the corner of the moor, and he himself was standing in the wide courtyard.

In addition to this aristocratic manor built in a corner of the wasteland, there are also some signs of human life in this area. It was mostly the destruction of collapsed houses, but there were also traces of brief camping sites that had only been left over the last few nights, and people could even be seen in some remote areas.

Although he still had no free control over the vision, in the image projected directly into consciousness, it seemed that all the obstacles that had once obscured his vision could no longer prevent him from observing. The white mist that covered the wasteland rolled like a tidal wave, and he could see through it the truth hidden within.

The silhouette of the "monster" he had glanced at earlier was at best a part of it, with the Leinster manor as the core, and there were at least several equally large figures active in this wasteland. They emerge from beneath the leylines and take shapes that cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Frick immediately remembered the former adventurer he had seen in the Northern's Gate Caves, these strange beings had very similar qualities to what had poured out of his body, but it was clear that the two were not to be confused - after all, these things were obviously much more dangerous than the serpentine black mud.

I'm afraid this wasteland is now even more terrifying than it was when Curt explored, as even the hardest of the highlands have become a quagmire of breeding monsters. The formless things that poured out from beneath the leylines were imbued with some kind of dangerous magic that could cause permanent damage to the area.

The enemies they face are so large that they seem to be too clearly targeted when viewed from above, and if it weren't for their unrecognizable qualities, the quagmire would have been the target of public criticism. Even if it has a huge size and strange abilities, it is besieged by dozens or even hundreds of people, and it is difficult for any kind of monster to remain unscathed in this situation.

Perhaps this information will help to reverse the situation that has been almost blind, but it will not be able to completely reverse the situation in which they have been almost unilaterally suppressed. After all, even if he and Curt could destroy the attacking tentacles again and again, I am afraid it would be difficult to destroy those monsters at the root.

With the information he had, he couldn't determine the nature of those strange "creatures", but he knew that his negligible magic power could not organize an effective attack. If all of this is a phenomenon set by their enemies, then the Wizard of Control is the right thing to do.

The mages of the Raven Society must have been waiting for this moment as well, and when they could confirm the location of the other party, the wasteland would soon be flooded with a flood of magical power. Maybe they're just obsessed with research, but the crows are definitely more savvy than they seem, and they've already made a move.

The overlook sweeps across the wasteland, and on the hills with various trees can be seen fighting "invisible monsters", most of them are sentinels sent by the Leinster family and monsters living in the wasteland, except for a few lone knights.

Just by a quick glance at the time, Frick knew that they were strong, that there was not much difference compared to Curt, and that they had the will to fight that he did not have. If it was a fighting match, maybe Curt would have the upper hand, but if it was a fight with his life, it would probably be a different story.

Although they were fighting fiercely with the monsters extending from the leylines, they skillfully gradually distanced themselves and prepared to leave the area. Although they all seem to be isolated, as long as someone sees them fighting, they can be sold directly, and there is no need to worry about their safety at all.

But that wasn't what Frick was looking for, he searched the wilderness carefully, his gaze sweeping over a black hill covered in snow. It was on this hill that Frick saw a lone man in black, who sat on the highest point of the rock, looking out over the gloomy heights of the sick weeds nearby.

The black fabric that entangles his body, and the slightly abnormal body structure compared to humans, judging by these two characteristics, he is undoubtedly a magician of the opposing organization. But he was clearly not the only man in black left in the wasteland, and he alone could not control such a large number of spells.

While looking for enemies, he was also observing the phenomenon they had created, and although it seemed that the summoning spell had opened the door to connect to a certain place and summoned those strange creatures, the essence of it seemed to be just simulating a similar phenomenon.

The high rock where the sorcerer was sitting was only one of the key points to maintain this huge Rubik's Cube, and from the analysis of the remaining magic on it, it should have been one of the defense nodes set up by Uls Leinster in the past, and the opponent used the original defense system to attack the manor.

- No, it's only partial.

Those sorcerers should have used the nodes that had been prepared to extract a part of the magic power from the leylines to support the spells, except for a few people, most of the remaining combat power was not fully deployed on the original defense mechanism, otherwise Sir Leinster would have discovered their existence long ago.

Their plans for the attack should have been more than that, which is why Uls Leinster has been slow to launch a counterattack. If you act rashly before you know the details of the other party, you will just fall into the trap set by the other party in advance.

They may have their own way of finding enemies, but it's too inefficient compared to Frick's condescending wide-area search. In just a few moments, Frick had found seven nodes occupied by places, each of which housed a black-clad mage.

They were only the casters of the spell that maintained the current spell, not the entire staff of the place - there was no doubt that those who were preparing the next step were still lurking in the wasteland. The clumps of twisted limbs that stretched out of the mire connected the magic that emanated from these places, and they were still expanding.

Not only them, but there were also several scattered teams near the manor that were gradually approaching the outer walls, and the setup that was supposed to mislead others had no effect at all. In the time that the invisible monster suddenly attacked the manor, the defenseless manor had been pressed so close by the enemy.

Those figures wrapped in black fabric didn't seem to have the same strength as the group of mages who intercepted them in the spirit world in the first place, but the level of combat was obviously not something that ordinary soldiers could compete with. If they break through the outer walls, it will be difficult for the servants alone to resist them.

The other party invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this raid, obviously trying to destroy Urs Leinster's ability to resist as soon as possible. As long as the mages concentrated in the manor can be successfully suppressed, then the most important combat power of Sir Leinster's command will be sealed.

But Frick didn't know what they would do if they had already shown this level of strength in the first step of the attack, and that the next attack would be even more intense than the current one.

More importantly, is Sir Leinster really ready to go to war with such an enemy?
