Lumian was half-squinting, feeling the pores open all over his body, and suddenly he had an extremely strong sense of danger.

In the ruins of the dream, he had a similar experience, slamming the car and falling to the side, like a mass of flesh without long bones that could not stand.

The sound of the wind poured into his ears, and a sharp axe grazed Lumian's body and struck the air.

Lumien fell to the ground and tried to get to his feet in a tumbling motion, but at that moment, pale or dark, strange or evil arms stretched out from the shadows around him, grabbing his clothes and encircling his body.

The cold feeling and stiff experience quickly soaked into Lumian's body, and he writhed wildly, trying to rely on his great flexibility to break free from his confinement, as he tore open his throat and shouted:

"Help......

His mouth was covered by two evil palms covered with tiny bumps, and his voice stopped abruptly, leaving only a whining motion. ”

At the same time, Lumien saw an elongated humanoid shadow reflected on the wall and raised the axe in his hand towards him.

While!

A two-handed greatsword composed purely of light blocked the axe's undercut.

Ryan was the first to rush over, and he didn't even bother to put on the "Dawn Armor", but only condensed the "Sword of Dawn".

The hatched axe, on the other hand, takes on a heavy, sharp, blackdish appearance as soon as it breaks away from the wall.

The second person to come to the door of the bathroom was Leah, who was in the study opposite. The little silver bells on her veil and boots jingled not too quickly.

Leah raised her right hand and aimed the silver-white pistol at the strange arms that had captured Lumian.

They were working wildly, as if they were going to drag Lumien into the shadows.

On Lumien's neck, forehead, and the backs of his hands, cyan veins bulged out, and he had used up his strength to feed.

But even so, he still couldn't compete with those pale or pitch-black arms, and the whole person melted into the shadows little by little.

Bang!

Leah fired, a golden bullet wrapped around the blazing flames and hit an arm so black that it seemed to drip ink.

The arm burst into flames, quickly letting go of Lumian's neck and retreating into the shadows of the corner.

When Aurore arrived at the door of the bathroom, she saw exactly this scene. ”

Seeing that a third of his brother's body had thinned and darkened into shadows, and his expression was getting stiffer and stiffer, as if he was about to freeze, Aurore didn't care about analyzing the current situation, and directly took out a handful of iron-black materials from the hidden bag.

She sprinkled the powder in her hand on Lumian, and her pale blue eyes deepened.

Lumian immediately felt an invisible hand grasp his body, forcing him towards Aurore.

He remembered that his sister had used a similar spell before, but the effect was to push himself away, and this time it was to pull him over.

The power of that giant hand was so great that it was on par with the strange and terrifying arms, and the tendency of Lumian to slide into the shadows stopped instantly.

Dangdang!

Ryan slashed the figure with the sharp axe back into the wall.

In the next second, Valentine appeared behind Leah and Aurore.

When he saw Lumian's condition, he immediately half-opened his arms.

Illusory golden flames erupted out of thin air around Lumian, instantly igniting countless evil arms.

The arms that were pitch black or pale either dropped drops of liquid like molten candles, or they evaporated and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

In a second or two, the strange arm that grabbed Lumian was four-fifths gone.

The rest of the group struggled against the invisible hand and Lumian, and they drifted away from their targets.

Lumian suddenly felt relaxed, and followed the pull of the invisible giant hand and half-flew and half-pounced in front of Auror.

At this time, as the pitch-black or pale arms retracted, the figure with the axe froze on the wall, quickly merging with the surrounding shadows, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Lumian stood up, looked around, and sneered:

"And that's the end?

"You only sent one person, you look down on us too much, don't you?"

Aurel glared at him hurriedly:!

"Don't speak!"

How can such unlucky words be said at such a time?

Aurore's voice was still echoing in the hallway, and behind Leah, on the wall next to the wooden door of the study, a spiky black vine that looked as if it had come from the abyss fell from the roof.

At the top of it are giant flowers that are as red as blood and smell fishy.

The flower swelled up like a mouth that had opened to the limit.

It slammed into Leah's head, squirming wildly.

Biting and biting, the contents of its mouth turned into a thin piece of paper, and it shattered it.

Then the pure greatsword of light flew out of the chamber and pinned the giant evil flower to the wall.

Streams of bright red blood suddenly flowed out of the sword body, and were evaporated into mist.

Almost at the same time, the roof of Lumian's house hung one similar black vine after another, covering the walls and windows, and growing one bright red flower after another.

Auroel had already pulled out a material that looked like pearls and threw them into the air, combined with some of the forces of nature that had been pried.

An invisible warm breeze blew, and the black vines lost their vitality and withered, unable to hold the bright red flowers in the air any longer.

They hung limply down to the floor on the second floor.

The effect is very good..... Aurore saw this, and secretly sighed.

Her spell came from a member of the Curly Whisk Society, and he learned the "weeding technique" from somewhere in order to tidy up the lawn and garden, and Aurel made an exchange at the time with the mentality that she would not lose money if she bought it very cheaply, and usually it was only used to clean up the weeds growing on the walls of the house, and today it actually came in handy.

However, those black vines that seemed to come from the abyss were extremely tenacious, but they withered and did not die on the spot.

This created time for Valentine, who once again summoned golden, illusory "sparks of light" to burn the filthy creatures in the corridors and rooms.

Ryan then filled the area with a clear morning light, driving away all evil and shattering all illusions.

Faced with these situations, the "hunter" Lumian suppressed the urge to dance a mysterious dance, and watched his sister and the three strangers cooperate to clean up the anomaly that invaded the second floor.

It didn't take long for the black vines and bright red flowers to turn into green smoke.

However, the small silver bells on Leah's veil and boots were still tinkling, indicating that the danger had not been lifted.

Lumian quickly looked around, sniffled and said:

"The smell in the air doesn't seem right......

There seems to be a faint, sweet fishy smell remaining.

"I feel a little dizzy and want to sleep." Leah didn't hide her discomfort.

What are the gases of those vines and flowers after they are burned? What a sinister thing! Aurel's occult knowledge was so knowledgeable that he reacted immediately.

She pulled out another handful of translucent powder and threw them forward.

A strong wind came out of thin air and swept through every part of the second floor.

Seeing this, Ryan, Lumian, Valentine, and Leah each ran into a different room and pushed open the window closed by the black vines.

When the gale that was not harmful to the humans stopped, Aurel looked at Lumian and asked:

"And now?"

Lumian sniffed carefully: "It doesn't smell like that anymore." ”

"I'm feeling better, too." Leah followed.

At this point, the little silver bell on her veil and boots stopped shaking.

This means that the crisis is over.

"The parish priests, their tentative assaults?" Aurel guessed.

Lumian glanced at Valentine, who had a bad face:

"I think it should be, but I don't know if it's Guillaume who has just received the 'gift'. Bennet, or the already powerful shepherd Pierre. Berry. ”

Hearing his name, Valentine's expression softened.

Ryan looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Whatever the possibility, it reminds us that we have to be on heightened vigilance.

"From now on, we will divide into two groups, taking turns to rest and cautious night, day and night."

If only one person is alone at night, they are likely to be attacked and left in trouble, with no one to help in time.

"No problem." Aurore and Lumien looked at each other and said, "I'm in a group with my brother. ”

Ryan et al. did not object.

After that, the two groups took on the duty of vigilance in a six-hour rotation, and although nothing had happened, as Lent approached, they both knew that danger was coming, and that it was round after round.

During this time, Lumian took advantage of the rest to continue exploring the dream.

He didn't immediately go hunting the flame monster, suppressing his eagerness in his heart, trying to fully understand the rules of his target's activities.

Relying on the "stealth" ability, relying on long-distance tracking again and again, relying on repeated observations, and relying on enough patience, Lumian finally mastered the information he wanted:

The flame monster would set a trap in the clearing on the morning of dream time, practice the skills it had mastered, and it would last from forty-five minutes to an hour and a half, and then it would leave in a fixed route, entering an area littered with flesh and blood to replenish its energy.

Its movements in the afternoon were unruly, mainly taking different roads to patrol its "territory", and Lumian had not yet discovered the criteria for choosing its route.

In the evening, it will enter the hunting area again along that fixed route.

After that, Lumien didn't know it, he only went to the Dream Ruins for a maximum of six hours at a time, and never explored at night.

.........

The night before Lent.

Lumian woke up in the bedroom of the dream and the faint gray mist, and looked at the "Fallen Mercury" placed next to him, and his mind instantly focused.

Tonight, he will hunt the Flame Monster.
