Chapter 53: Eve's Shadow

Let's talk about potions, as a branch of alchemy, potions play a pivotal role in the entire mage world, a good apothecary can have immeasurable effects, the most classic examples are the little red bottle and the little blue bottle, even if the master who created these two drugs at that time had died long before Ragnarok, but even if thousands of years are passed, his name is still remembered in the hearts of every Ivete continent.

In the same way, potions can not only save people, but also kill people.

Invisibility Elixir: It is a high-level potion that overrides Transfiguration and is at the same level as Level 6 Arcane Magic Invisibility. Even an ordinary person, as long as he drank this potion, if he wasn't a master thief who specialized in stealth and anti-stealth, it would be impossible to find out.

Evil Eye Essence Elixir: It is also level six, although it is colorless, but it has an extremely sweet smell, as long as it falls, it will quickly volatilize into the air, even if it is a level 6 martial arts or magic master, as long as a certain amount of potion is inhaled, the whole body will be paralyzed, and it will be completely unable to move.

At the moment, Leah and her party were completely planted on these two potions, the former allowing the enemy to follow them unnoticed from the moment they entered the dungeon.

And the latter, taking advantage of the dark canopy to paralyze the five senses, and the smell of blood in the air affected the sense of smell, even the most powerful Kalian completely lost his combat effectiveness.

So, the assassin came to Leah's face in this grand manner, and at this time, little Lori still did not get rid of the paralysis caused by this potion, and was also shocked that the other party was able to penetrate the wall to get here.

"I didn't expect the killer to be an alchemist, nay. Jermaine sent you, right?"

Lying on the ground, Leah asked.

“......”

The other party did not answer, but took out a sharp dagger from his arms.

Although paralyzed. But Leah still felt as if she was unconsciously shivering. It's not because the other party is about to get rid of his own bento. What made Leah even more concerned was the eyes of the girl in front of her - cold, like an inorganic stone, without the slightest emotion.

[Ahh 】

From the eyes of the enemy. She understood the unforgiving truth.

The other party simply squatted down, put the dagger against a certain Lori's chest, and then pressed it with all the weight of his body.

Bang!

I thought it was a nirvana. As a result, the assassin was bounced off by a white-purple arcane shield, and even the weapon in his hand was broken.

It wasn't a magic shield, it wasn't an arcane barrier, it was something much deeper. It is released from the amulet made by Hanufain himself. Divine magic from before Ragnarok.

Magic doesn't need to be unleashed by Lori, and it will automatically activate when it receives a fatal attack. Even if Elia was in a state of paralysis, it did not affect the operation of the amulet itself in the slightest.

"Hmph, I thought you really didn't have any feelings at all, so I was still surprised. ”

Keenly caught the hint of surprise in the other party's eyes, Leah said sarcastically.

Unfortunately, the assassin in front of him was like an alien who could not understand the lingua franca of the continent of Ivite, so he just took out a bottle of dark purple potion from his pocket with a blank face and poured it on the shield that guarded Leah.

Nourishing ——!!!

It's like adding water to boiling oil. There was a terrible sound from the surface of the shield. The corrosive potion eroded the shield and emitted a dark green puff of smoke.

Even the assassin himself, after pouring the medicine, immediately took several steps back and took a special antidote. Obviously, that green smoke is also poisonous.

However, in the end, the assassin was disappointed. After the smoke cleared, not only was the shield fine, but even the poisonous smoke could not penetrate into it, and was perfectly filtered.

"I advise you not to waste your efforts, the caster of this shield is Hanufain, not a small alchemist of yours who can crack the deposit. ”

Leah continued to scoff. She didn't just pick up her hole cards stupidly, but hoped to be able to scare off her enemies with the name of the master of all laws.

Unfortunately, this time it was her turn to be disappointed.

Instead of retreating, the little assassin took another weapon out of his pocket.

"Demon Breaker Dagger, you're really well-prepared, but isn't this kind of weapon a bit inadequate to deal with the shield of the Great Sage?"

The Demon Breaker Dagger, as the name suggests, is a weapon used to break magic, and this blade made of special steel can act as a barrier to the combination of elements, thus leading to the failure of magic, and is especially useful for shield spells.

Qiang ——!!!

The other party did not speak, but simply stuck the dagger on the shield.

Just like Lori said, this half-baked demon-breaking weapon is still a little powerless in the face of the Great Sage's spells.

But on the other hand, little Lori keenly felt that the consumption of elements on the shield had accelerated a little.

This is not a good sign, as the entire courtyard is filled with spatial elements, and arcane shields simply cannot replenish new elements from anywhere in the vicinity. Therefore, the energy of the entire shield can be said to be one point less when it is consumed.

What's even more headache is that the other party is also a mage, even if it is just an alchemist, he will not understand the basic principles of shield magic, in other words, as long as he continues to stab with a dagger like this, even the magic from the great sage will be exhausted sooner or later.

At the moment, Leah is like a big boss who has been successfully stuck in an online game, although it is terrifying, but it is not threatening. The assassin is like a player who kills monsters at a higher level, although he can only cause 1 point of damage that does not break the defense, but as long as he slowly flattens out, even if it is 10,000 blood, he will be deducted sooner or later.

In this unattended courtyard, the two silently engage in a life-threatening game - will Leah get rid of the paralysis of the magic eye potion first, or will the nameless assassin drain the elements of the shield first?......

On the other side of this vast courtyard, in the old clock tower. I don't know how long it took......

"Ah~ Yes, yes, that's what I'm looking for. I've got a gift for little Leah!"

A young girl was looking for something, and she lay on the ground, and put her hands into a small dark compartment in the wall, which was attached to the floor, and a large apple was pressed against her little head, exactly like the long hair, which was bright gold.

"Hmph. It's a gift, it's hers. ”

On the other side, a tiny one. The small animal with bat wings and crooked horns that can be held in his arms like a pet lies by the window and looks at the girl who is completely indecent and says.

Although the words were light, the eyes of the little creature were full of respect. Whether it's to that which is taken out. Or the golden apple, or the girl herself.

Who could have imagined that the dragon, the creature at the top of the continent, would be so in awe of a girl.

"Hey~ Although they were originally Leah's, I still want to give them to her personally.

It's been a long time, dear Eledonor (the Sands of Time), and Nilphi (Dimensional Wings).

I've brought your master back, and soon, we'll be together again. ”

The girl's words were filled with deep excitement and countless memories. She opened her mouth. Tell the story of the past in a language that should not exist in the world, beautiful and psalm-like. and the joy of reunion.

"Eve, I said that when you talk to me, don't use 'divine words', that kind of language will make even dragons feel uneasy when they hear it. ”

The girl's language seemed to have a special power, which made the dragon very unhappy.

"Ahh

Because I'm so happy, can you forgive me?"

The other party happily hugged the things in his hand.

Eleut, also known as the Sands of Time, is a golden necklace with twelve segments and a huge hourglass-shaped pendant underneath, filled with a golden sand-like substance that radiates a mystical glow.

Nilfi, also known as Dimensional Wings, is a blue cloak woven from an unknown material that feels as cold as liquid to the touch, as if it will slip out of your hand if you don't notice it.

"Hmph. ”

Babafen snorted.

"Now that you've got it, get out of here, Eve.

You don't think it's a lot, but the bones in my body are about to be crushed by the coercion here.

Especially recently, this courtyard, which has been silent for thousands of years, has begun to show signs of reviving from its slumber. You see, even a dragon is as small as an ant in front of that adult's 'seat'. ”

Babafen's words simply made people fall through the glasses, and the arrogant dragon admitted that he was an ant, if it wasn't for Ben Long who took the wrong medicine or was born with a trembling heart, then what a terrifying power this so-called "seat" must have.

"Understand ~ understand ~ because my cutest sister is here, the courtyard welcomes its own owner, and naturally starts working again.

Anyway, hey, let's go. ”

Hastily packing the Sands of Time and the Dimensional Wings on her back, Eve nodded, ready to leave.

That's when it was ......

Bang!

The courtyard shook suddenly.

"Whew!"

The miniature version of the red dragon was caught off guard and fell to the ground, and Eve almost fell out of the window of the clock tower with a crooked step.

"What's going on?"

Babafen looked up.

"Leah...... In anger...... Oops, this kid wants to use her 'seat'!?"

Feeling the changes around her, Eve's face turned pale.

"Let's go, Babafin!"

"Yes!"

The little red dragon jumped down from the window, and in an instant it was restored to its original appearance, and the shape that covered the sky and the sun was the original appearance of the dragon clan.

Eve jumped on Barbaffin's head, and a man and a dragon flew towards the source of the tremor......

On the other side, I don't know how long it has been, maybe hours, or a full day, in short, Leah's body is still paralyzed, and it seems that the alchemist in front of her is quite skilled in the study of potions.

Either way, things aren't good. Even the shield unleashed by Hanufain. In this situation where there is no elemental replenishment and there is a chance to encounter a demon-breaking weapon, it also begins to become thinner.

And the worst part is not this. From the time she was assassinated, Leah felt a strange feeling in her heart. At first, the emotion was too small for her to tell what it was, but gradually, as it began to inflate like a balloon, Leah finally realized that it was anger.

In this courtyard, people are completely unable to fight back, hanging and beating, if in normal times. Although little Lori will feel humiliated, it is difficult to lose her cool, but she will take advantage of the enemy's helplessness to think about getting out or even counterattacking.

And now. Unexplained anger burned her heart like a black flame.

【Leave!】

This is not a place where humans should set foot. 】

【Disappear!】

This is not a sacred place for you to invade. 】

[If...... If you don't want to leave anyway......

Then ......]

The other party executed the repetitive movements expressionlessly, poking the dagger at the barrier in front of him again and again.

The sound of metal hitting the shield is like a half-asleep noise, making people unable to sleep and not wanting to wake up. As a result, I lost my mind. My heart was filled with a sense of anxiety.

[It's annoying...... What exactly is this feeling?]

Although he knew that the other party was an assassin who had been sent, he gradually revealed an indescribable sense of familiarity. It's like sisters connected by blood.

But on the other hand, although they are sisters, they don't feel a trace of kindness at all, and the coldness makes people want to vomit.

[Dizziness ......]

With a snap, the dagger struck the shield.

【Leave ......】

I couldn't figure out what I was thinking.

[Don't spoil here!]

What exactly is nǎ here?

[If you want to destroy this homeland no matter what......]

What is that, what is it......

[If you even have to defile this courtyard......]

Courtyard......

"So...... Let's just take the destruction of you and so on!!"

Moment. The paralysis disappeared and she stood up. The chanting of "Divine Words" was beautiful and solemn, like the sound of a holy war trumpet.

Leah held her slender arm high...... In an instant, the whole courtyard began to tremble!

No, not only the courtyard, but beyond this courtyard, the entire continent of Evette is shaken by this.

"Come !!"

She chanted the name of "Za".

Behold, this is the embodiment of order, the primordial thing born out of chaos.

"Huh!?"

However, before that, the body ushered in a collapse. A tremendous force squeezed the young body, as if it was about to destroy it completely.

Spat blood from her mouth, Leah collapsed.

[Oops......]

Finally, the severe pain awakened consciousness and reason, and he didn't know what he had done before, but the pain in his body and the collapse of the defensive shield due to the previous great change became the most desperate facts.

Just as the assassin's hands trembled, almost crushed by the overwhelming pressure, the enemy fell before then.

[There is no need to be afraid, you are just a tool, and there is no need to be afraid of tools. There is also no need to tremble, the body functions are completely normal, and there is no reason to tremble.

The enemy's protection was gone, and this was the only chance, the only chance after a long wait. 】

In his heart, the little assassin stepped forward with a dagger.

"Stop!"

But there was a voice in the sky, and a desperate coercion in another sense.

Although this coercion was insignificant compared to the abnormal changes in the courtyard before, it was still enough to make it impossible to move hands and feet.

[But even so......]

The so-called props are the existence of zài without fear and emotion, even if the coercion comes from the dragon in the sky......

With difficulty, the assassin lifted his feet, continued to step forward, and ...... The dagger finally stabbed the target's body......

【Mission Completed...... ......?]

There is no feeling of stabbing the flesh and blood at all, and if you look closely, I don't know when, there is another layer on the other party's body, even if it is Hanufain, it is a magic shield that is inferior to herself.

"Never, yes, you are not allowed...... Hurt my sister !!"

[It's over.] 】

The girl in the sky angrily commanded the dragon to spit out a dragon flame.

On the other side, the assassin hung his hand in despair.

"Ahh——!!!h

Under the karmic fire of the Red Lotus, the poor assassin let out a cry of sorrow. It's like the noise of a prop being destroyed.

On the other side, looking at Eve riding a dragon in the sky, in a trance, Leah understood everything.

[Ahhh......h Is that so...... I see...... Originally...... You're Eve......]

a girl with blond hair and sapphire eyes;

The four elements are specialized, and she is known as a girl blessed by the goddess;

A girl who has no interest in worldly power and money, and is obviously naïve, but is safe and sound in the aristocratic circle that eats people and does not spit out bones;

Obviously just a young mage who has just graduated, but after escaping, even the duke's strength can't capture the girl;

The girl who knows Hanufain, the oldest secret of the world;

The girl who can create the space storm in the zào dungeon;

A girl for whom even dragons will bow down;

Haven't you seen such a woman full of miracles a long time ago?

Even though years have passed, Leah can still vividly recall the fate of the encounter that day in the university lawn.

The girl in front of her was the same as then, her long wavy golden hair shimmered, her blue eyes were like a lake, her snow-white skin was comparable to a warm mutton fat jade, and she was as charming as that day.

"Goddess...... Evette ......"

After muttering the true name of the woman who was supposed to be called Eve, Leah couldn't bear the pain anymore.

Under this scorching breath, even if the shield of the goddess is connected to the dragon's attack, it can easily block it, but it can't heal the scars on the body and the exhaustion of the soul.

ps: The last 5k words, the sixth part of "Eve's Shadow" has also ended~~~

Anyway, Moon Shadow is a little god, right? Although it was guessed by a reader before that...... orz......~~~
