Chapter 182: The Hunter and the Prey
The blow failed, but the pace of the opponent's attack did not stop, perhaps it was Lizzie's evasion that angered it, making it attack faster.
The massive body continued to take a few large steps with the momentum of the forward stab, and swung its sharp arms in the direction of her as it caught up with Lizzie. The not-so-wide corridor couldn't stop it, but it had completely blocked the path ahead of Lizzie.
"Cut, what an annoying guy......"
Unpleasantly, a slightly troubled look appeared on Lizzie's face, and then she turned around and ran without hesitation. She swooped into the rotunda behind her, her black figure sweeping through the dimly lit hall, leaving a trail of crisp footsteps on the stone staircase.
She wouldn't choose to confront the colorless hunter head-on in a narrow passage, and even if it would hinder the opponent's movements, she wouldn't be able to get around behind them. Fighting a huge enemy head-on in the same small space is a bit of a short blow and a long shot.
So she chose to distance herself for a while, so that she could better use her mobility advantage in a wide space. As she rushed down the stone steps, Lizzie turned her magic and left spell marks behind her, and in an instant, several pale circles slowly appeared on the stairs she had stepped on.
As expected, the other party saw Lizzie turn and flee backwards, and immediately quickened his pace to chase after him. The huge body looked at the slowness, but the hunter seemed to be running faster than Lizzie who had been strengthened with her magic, and the degree between the two gradually decreased.
Liqi had already prepared for the hunter behind her. The spells that were left behind were designed to target this degree. Lizzie had already taken into account the length of the opponent's stride when she set up the Rubik's Cube, and each Rubik's Cube's was placed at the edge of the position it had to step on.
The other party fell into the "trap" set by Lizzie, but it did not take any evasive measures. Maybe it's having extreme confidence in your body. Perhaps because the brain is not large enough to deal with complex problems, it just takes a step and steps firmly on the trap.
"I said you're a fake idiot or a real idiot. Lizzie didn't know how to evaluate the other party's behavior, and she was a little surprised that her plan was so successful, "Is there really a person in this world who doesn't hesitate to step on obvious traps?"
She was not allowed to comment on the status quo again, and the feeling of magic being pulled back into her hands - the trap mechanism had been driven. In an instant, the pale magic exploded under the opponent's feet, and along with the flash, several rays of light like silver thorns appeared.
It's just too big a step. This puts it in trouble. Under the collision, more Rubik's Cubes were touched, and pale magic shone one after another in the places it passed. One by one, the circle was torn apart by the magic that poured out, and the light that radiated shot out towards the body in the center in turn.
The "chains" that erupted from the Rubik's cube wrapped around the colorless body like poisonous snakes, and the entangled silver thorns almost seemed to grab the air. The silver light radiating from the spell did not illuminate its body, not even the slightest trace of its projection.
This ability to conceal the body is powerful enough. There weren't many spells that Lizzie could do this—even those that claimed to be able to "blend in completely with the surrounding landscape." If a creature can completely erase its body from the eyes of others. It is definitely an extremely dangerous killer.
But this is the end of the story, maybe its ability can make it have a strong combat power, but unfortunately its intelligence is really not proportional to its physical ability. The spell that entangled it not only physically restricted its next move, but also told Lizzie where it was.
No matter how you look at it, the body of this colorless individual is simply surprisingly large. It might not have been easy to notice when it curled up in the hallway, but now that it was in full view, Lizzie noticed that it had a body that was almost larger than the industrial Graeme.
It struggled, its huge body writhing. Trying to break free from the spell that entangles the body. As it struggled, Lizzie could clearly feel the magic in her body flying. The spells used to contain them became so fragile that they seemed to be torn apart in the next moment.
What kind of monster is this? Lizzie couldn't imagine that there were not only ghouls but also such weirdness in the underbelly of the Cutrice Academy.
Lizzie wasn't willing to let it go on—no matter what Curt said. The moment she turned around, a magically constructed spear appeared in her hand. It seems to be made of shadows, leaving only an unrecognizable silhouette in the dim space.
Step, step......
After a few steps, Lizzie focused her enhanced mana entirely on her hand, and then threw the spear in her hand as she reached its maximum. At the same moment, all the spells used to bind the target were lifted by her, and the little magic that flowed back quickly filled the void of the previous attrition.
Click! Bang!
The moment the spell was canceled, several successive loud noises suddenly came from above the stairs. The unrestrained colorless entity did not retract its movements, and its limbs, swinging violently in order to struggle, slammed into the stone seats around it, and the scattered dust stained it, revealing its hidden body.
A moment of imbalance exposed a flaw that could have been fatal, and it was this moment that Lizzie had targeted. The spear woven by the shadow passed silently through the air, piercing the small area of its chest before it could make any defensive moves.
"Hoo ......"
A mournful roar like a low breeze resounded in the circular hall, sourced from the colorless hunter. The Shadow Spear thrown by Lizzie doesn't seem to hit anything, but the "field" that Lizzie radiates around tells her that the spear has pinned the enemy to the ground.
In an instant, in the space where there was nothing, a cloud of "air" melted. Gradually, a gray figure appeared in Liqi's field of vision.
It has an insect-like head - or perhaps a large insect with a humanoid shape that can walk upright. The gray body was covered with a dull exoskeleton, and a small black liquid as sticky as oil rose from the place where the spear was hit.
Like Lizzie felt, it had the feeling of a hunter. The body was large but not bloated, and there were several limbs attached to the strong drive. Lizzie didn't know whether to say whether the parts were tentacles or arthropods, perhaps it was the help of these twisted limbs that allowed it to make a swift assault on Lizzie in the corridor that was too narrow for her.
No animate reaction was felt in this colorless hunter - this had not changed since its appearance. Lizzie looked at it and felt like some kind of clay figure that had been given a false life, monotonously and stupidly carrying out its master's orders.
Although it was down now, Kritch couldn't be sure if it was "dead" - just a piercing of the chest wouldn't stop a golem completely. With no life's reaction and no trace of magic, Lizzie really didn't know what kind of monster it was.
She tentatively took a few steps closer, but the fallen "hunter" did not move. The sticky liquid that flowed from the wounds on its body stained its gray shell with a disgusting color. The black-stained exoskeleton slowly cracked open, gradually disintegrating into pieces.
Squeak, squeak, squeak......
Like a gear about to break, there was a dry grinding sound near the "hunter" who fell to the ground, and its limbs couldn't stop trembling slightly. Thinking that it was going to stand up again, Liqi subconsciously took a few steps back, but she didn't expect the change in front of her to be faster than she imagined.
The ground trembled, and the grinding sound became violent with their rhythm. The stone seats lining the floor moved like dominoes, and even the central platform changed its angle, and even the stairs that led directly to the exit above disappeared before Lizzie's eyes.
Damn-
Lizzie looked left and right, trying to find a way out of the platform she was on, as she felt that the platform seemed to be slowly descending. But the descent was past Lizzie's expectations, and before she could react, the platform beneath her feet was plunged into deep darkness.
Lizzie hadn't ridden the hydraulic elevators that had become popular recently, but she could feel that the descending platform didn't operate on the same principle. The heavy stone slab continued to descend and roar violently, and the air pouring from the ground made Lizzie feel chills all over her body.
It didn't take long for the platform to pass through a long passage and go straight to the bottom, but around it there were only cold rocks and cold rocks. Looking up, the hole left by the previous landing had been blocked by another stone slab, and the darkness completely enveloped the place.
It seems that this is another trap.
"Curt, it seems that the passage here can be accused of changing, so I'm locked up. After a moment of silence, Lizzie reluctantly hooked up with Curt and told him about the increasingly strange situation, "How are you doing over there, has the wall problem been solved?"
Just as she tried to contact Curt, she used a spell to light a little glimmer. She saw a few small openings in the stone walls around her, and now they were slowly leaking a purple-black liquid - as if to show her that they were violently toxic.
It seems that Lizzie has to admit that the other party doesn't just want to lock her up. (To be continued!)
