As the sound of "Zazaza" sounded, three chain axes whistled and struck.
Bang Bang Bang!
The chain-linked giant axe flicked off, and several cracks flashed in the transparent armor on Rossi's body.
Faceless Youkai often wields flail-type weapons, such as the Mace and Axe, and its weakness is the Glowing Charm and its associated or variant magic.
This kind of monster is usually man-made and rarely occurs naturally, so when you encounter a faceless youkai, be sure to pay attention to whether there are any dark wizards hiding in the shadows.
The moment he thought back to the book, Rossi rolled on the spot, dodging the successive attacks.
Without using magic, the moment she got up, she pulled back the giant axe from directly in front of her and brushed it past the faceless youkai that was about to swing it again, and ran quickly downstairs.
She had just seen that in the middle room, the staircase leading to the third floor was almost tightly blocked by the bathroom, and only the gap between the railings of the staircase handrails was empty.
Although her Animagus form may be able to pass through, at this moment, there are still Erin and scenery hidden in the bathroom, and she can only deal with these faceless monsters before making plans.
She deliberately waited a few seconds at the corner of the stairs to make sure that all the faceless youkai upstairs were following before she pulled them to the first floor.
Bang!
As soon as she ran down the stairs, the melon-shaped hammer swung from her head burst through the transparent armor on her body, if she hadn't been alert, she would have leaned back and slid out on her knees with the help of her strength when she saw that the situation was wrong, and this time it would have smashed into her head.
"Armor protection!"
The moment he turned over, Rosie took out his wand and released the Iron Armor Charm.
This spell cannot be saved.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, more than a dozen heavy weapons chained with iron chains were thrown at him with a "whirl".
The next moment, the sound of bells came from all directions.
I knew it!
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and while there was still a small half of the shield, her gaze quickly swept around.
Well! It's all induced!
muttered in his heart, and the wand in his hand was suddenly raised.
"Ultimate Flash!"
As the dazzling light exploded from the tip of the staff, the faceless monsters' movements froze in unison, followed by their fluid heads bursting open.
It was only then that Rossi finally had time to look at the environment on the first floor.
The two dining tables in the middle space not only have cutlery, but also a lot of food, and although the wooden doors on both sides are closed, there is an opening on the left wall that allows people to enter and exit.
Dip your gaze through the opening, just in time to see the cabinet behind the wooden door.
So this door couldn't be opened before, is it because of this reason? Are these spaces related to each other?
Thinking of this, she turned to her side, her knees slightly bent, ready to squeeze into the room through the opening in the wall and open the wooden door.
"Sister, what are you doing in there?"
Looking back, Erin and the view appear at the corner of the staircase.
"Go in and open the door, I guess when this place is opened, the corresponding doors in the left and right spaces will also be opened."
"It's true that it can be opened, but there's nothing left in there."
Jing scratched her head, "We've searched almost every inch of this, and from the clues in the left, center, and right rooms, we can only piece together the story of an autistic boy who was tricked to death by a prank, and other than that, there is nothing useful."
Oh yes! Those faceless youkai are the ones that appeared after we completed this side quest. We barricaded the door with cupboards, also to hide from them. β
γγγ
Hearing this, and then looking at the side quests displayed as completed in the quest panel, Rosie was a little speechless, took out a pen and paper and simply drew a map of the orphanage:
"Come on, view, take out all the things in your backpack and tell me where you got them from according to the map."
β¦β¦
The corridor on the third floor of the front building of the orphanage.
Jiang Jing and Ah Bai lay on the ground, crawling forward in the thick mist, and in the distance behind them, a monster in a gray and white classical suit, a top hat, glowing eyes, and scissors in his left hand was slowly looking for this side step by step.
"It's too pit, such a big three-story building, we have been running two and a half floors, and we haven't found any clues, and we are entangled by monsters like fog demons who don't know if there is any meaning! This task is really poisonous! β
Looking back at the Mist Demon, Ah Bai grumbled in a low voice.
His so-called "I don't know if it makes sense" refers to the fact that in their situation at this time, they spend magic power to kill the fog demon, and they don't know if it makes sense.
"Alas, let's not act rashly, and talk about it depending on the situation."
Sighing, Jiang Jing said in a glad tone, "Fortunately, your [Advanced Exploration] can detect that it can't see creatures below one meter in height when it is far away, otherwise we wouldn't be able to run." β
Whewββ
At this time, the fog demon, who had not found the target for a long time, pressed the scissors in his left hand against the wall and ran forward quickly.
"I'll go! Jiang Jing, hurry into the front room! It's coming its way! β
The two of them crawled into the dean's office in front of them, and almost at the same time as the fog demon ran over, they each hid behind two empty filing cabinets.
Holding their breath, the two of them were leaned against the filing cabinet, quietly observing the fog demon outside the door.
It didn't seem to notice the two, wandering around the dean's office for a moment with its eyes glinting in the hazy mist, and then turning back as if it were leisurely.
"Whew!"
Ah Bo breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice and said, "Safe for now, it shouldn't have noticed us." β
looked at the filing cabinet behind Jiang Jing, and couldn't help but complain: "This task scene is not rigorous at all, and there should be some documents in the filing cabinet to pretend, right?" β
"Compared to this ......"
Jiang Jing stared at the back of the fog demon walking slowly, "I'm more concerned about whether it has already discovered us, and the way it walks now is not as urgent as it was at the beginning......"
Before the last word "cut" could be spoken, the fog demon suddenly turned around and rushed in at a faster speed than just now.
"Gan!"
Ah Bai, who had just looked at the past, was startled by its sudden return, and immediately took out his wand and cast a defensive charm, "No matter, let's kill it, otherwise we won't be able to do anything!" β
At the same time, the other side.
Looking at the file that Jing took out of his backpack, Rosie felt like people were going numb.
"Sister, this is the file and documents I found from the dean's office or something, oh, it's this room on the third floor of the front building."
Jing pointed to the map in front of him and said, "That's all, it's all I put away." β
"How big is your backpack? How do I feel like you've taken everything you can in the orphanage? β
Erin asked, dumbfounded.
"My original profession was an equipment producer, although I became a Death Eater, but my equipment production skills have improved a lot, including a piece of equipment that can expand the backpack after wearing."
Jing Jing explained solemnly, "I just took everything I could in the front building, there is a big guy there, and it is difficult to escape from it." Unlike the back building, those monsters can barely get rid of it, so I only took the one with the system prompt. β
