The blood-red figure behind Lan En was silent.

No heartbeat, no breathing, not even footsteps.

It's like a humanoid body of air moving.

In the absence of any movement, even with the keen senses of a demon hunter, it stands to reason that he should not feel anything.

However, as the blood-red figure approached step by step, Lan En, who was squatting on the ground to check the clues on the corpse.

The sharp dagger in Bloodshadow's left hand was slowly raised, and it was about to stab down into the witcher's neck.

“！？”

The witcher, who was still using his fingers to check the knife on the corpse in front of him, suddenly looked like a feline was frightened.

The body that was still squatting just now suddenly rushed forward, and then the palm of his hand was propped up on the ground, and after the extremely smooth low-level somersault, the position relationship between the witcher and the blood shadow had become face-to-face.

And the dagger in the hand of the blood shadow pierced the air, leaving only a faint sound of 'bang' breaking the air.

The witcher's movements look like some kind of big cat, but they are actually much sharper and swifter than tigers.

In the blink of an eye, the attacker and the attacked saw each other's eyes.

The woman like the blood shadow obviously didn't expect the witcher to have this reaction, but not only did the blood shadow not expect it, but Lan En himself was a little confused.

He didn't feel anything abnormal just now, but on the right half of his brain, the [Holy Song Gland] implanted in it seemed to be out of control just now!

The originally stable hormone secretion and biological activity suddenly soared!

Mentos, who had been monitoring biological activity all the time, put a bright red warning sign on Lan's retina almost at the same time.

As for Lan En himself, he even felt an abrupt and unexplained sense of crisis before the biological brain reacted.

The hairs all over his body stood up, and driven by instinct, Lan En made a standard evasion move without even thinking about it.

Immediately after, he saw the silent assailant behind him in the next moment.

“.”

Lan En didn't speak at first, he just looked up and down at the Blood Shadow that was almost about to succeed in the sneak attack just now.

At the same time, he began to take the initiative to adjust his breathing and mentality, and calmed down the life activities that had just been violently lifted by the [Holy Verse Gland].

"Soul body?"

Lan En stared at the blood shadow and slowly stood up. He asked in a low voice.

And the female blood shadow didn't talk to Lan En, but just walked cautiously and kept a proper distance.

The other party didn't talk, but Lan En already had his own guess in his heart.

The life and soul of this world are different from those of other worlds.

In the Magical Middle Ages, some mages were able to travel in a soul state, but most of them added a set of protective measures to their soul bodies.

And in this world, it seems that thanks to the special nature of their souls, the soul body not only does not need to be protected, but can also be directly used in battle?

And the [Holy Song Gland] seems to be very sensitive to the power of these gods and ghosts, so that when Lan En's other senses have not found anything abnormal, he can automatically adjust his physiological state in a crisis and warn his body.

The female blood shadow didn't answer, which meant that there was no need for the enemy to say anything to each other.

She's just here to kill.

"Buzz~" A soft whistle sounded.

A brilliant blue light lit up on the head of the crystal ball of the staff in her hand.

This blue light was not enough to surprise Lanen, after all, the magic of this world seems to be like this.

What really surprised Rann was.

"Jingle Bell~"

There was a slight clatter of crystals colliding with each other, emanating from the magical blue light of the female blood shadow.

This isn't ordinary, rotten street magic, it's crystallized magic!

【Crystallized Daughter】Klinheed.

Lan En immediately locked on the identity of the female blood shadow in front of him from his mind.

Crystallization magic is an out-and-out high-level magic system.

In this world where basic magic is soul magic, there was once a famous archmage in the mythological era, [Big Hat] Logan.

It is rumored that he has spied on the true meaning of magic through certain channels. Later, he left behind his knowledge, which was the purest and most advanced crystallized magic.

And the crystallized old man that Lan En had seen before was originally a pair of twins. They claimed to be Logan's academic heirs, one of whom remained in the Great Library of Lothric, and the other who was sent to assist the Farland Immortals.

[Crystallized Daughter] Klinshid is an apprentice who learns magic from the Crystallized Old Man in the Great Library in the city of Lothric and has achieved something.

She is also the flame bearer of Prince Lothric, and Officiant Emma introduced this person to Ran. After all, the position and connections she has are so crucial.

Of course, there are countless magicians like [Big Hat] Logan, who want to raise their worth by climbing with him.

However, the outward characteristics of the power cannot be faked, and even if the magic of the crystallized elders is not pure enough and close enough to the root, it still has the characteristics of crystallization, which is enough to be called precious.

And in the blink of an eye, a series of clues and images passed through Lan's mind.

The last breath of the king who stopped him in front of him, the great library was distributed by the king to the sage, and the princes were taught by the first sage and became the scaleless white dragon

"It's you, the sages who plan to disrupt the order of the fire ceremony?"

Lan En spoke suddenly.

The tone was more of a confirmation than an inquiry.

"The crystallized old man in the big library has spread the knowledge of [crystallization] among the sages. And when the prince refused to pass the fire, and the king was at a loss, you let the king 'find' that knowledge in the great library. ”

In turn, Othroes was inspired by the dragonization experiment, but the man also went crazy. I remember that [Big Hat] Logan went crazy because he explored too far in magic, right? ”

"Although I still don't understand why the knowledge of [Crystal] is linked to the White Dragon, there is no doubt that even the brain of the discoverer, Rogen, can't bear that knowledge!"

Lan's words were clear, but they were fast and dense, and they were very impactful. Especially at this time of revealing secrets.

The crystalline daughter holding the staff stiffened, she obviously didn't know how much information Lan En had gotten and how many things she had found. In order to connect this information together to form a logical chain.

But in terms of conclusion, there is no doubt that this is right!

But then, with a more resolute attitude, she unleashed the crystallized magic that had been prepared.

Unlike ordinary magic, these blue soul arrows are densely packed with crystals.

But these spells can't hit people anymore.

"Poof!"

The [Acceleration Technique] was activated, and Lan En keenly captured the moment when the other party stiffened because the secret was revealed.

Although these Lan En had never been subjected to, and they didn't quite understand where the powerful crystallized magic was, they passed past the witcher one by one.

But they couldn't touch him.

No matter how powerful these magic are, they can't beat him anyway.

With Mentos's computing power, Len could have predicted the landing of these crystalline beams even earlier than Klinsheed herself, who had unleashed the magic.

And his movement efficiency obviously completely exceeded the expectations of the crystallized daughter in front of him.

With just a flash like light smoke, Lan's tall figure had already passed through the curtain of crystallized magic and arrived in front of Klinsheed.

At the same time, the sword of the Lake Maiden in his hand also flung over from his side with this rapid momentum!

The blade tore through the air, letting out a sharp hiss.

But Klinsheed was quite steady, and her left hand, which held the dagger, was slightly raised in front of the knife that would have killed her almost instantly.

And it seems that he wants to use the dagger in his hand to open the long knife that Lan En has chopped.

A mage dares to use this kind of knife to directly block a long knife that has been full of inertia, this is not normal no matter how you look at it.

Abnormality means danger.

However, Lan En also recognized this starting style as early as when the other party first raised his hand.

He once fought against a prince knight of Rostrick on the walls of Roserick, and on that occasion, the opponent displayed a superior skill with his shield.

With a precise block, inflict a collapse on an enemy who has already made a move.

The power of the enemy's moves is precisely distorted and turned into an obstacle to control one's body.

Although the mage in front of him was using a dagger, Lan En's swordsmanship literacy still allowed him to see through the core idea of the move through the difference in weapons.

And the moves that have been seen through cannot be called 'threatening'.

With a "swish", the crisp blade slashed through the air.

The long, graceful curved knife had already been rounded, but now it had changed direction unexpectedly under the dexterous muscles of Lan En's hand.

The blade is as lively and unpredictable as a carp leaping out of the water.

The blade that came from the side turned around, and it turned into an upward flirt in the extreme speed of movement.

And Klinheed's arm that held the dagger and swung it out was separated from his body with the flash of the clear knife light.

Klinheed obviously didn't expect Len to be so fast, after all, he looked very thick.

But in reality, Lan's body is not only thick, but also dexterous and fast.

Klinheed, on the other hand, only froze for a moment after his arm was cut off, and then the staff in his other hand quickly emitted blue light again.

This looks like some kind of magic that kicks in quickly.

But Lan wasn't ready to give her a chance.

The dagger fell from the severed hand in the air, and while it was still spinning, Lan En caught it with his empty hand without a knife without looking back.

Then he stabbed it neatly sideways.

"Poof!"

The tip of the dagger pierced from one side of Klinshid's slender neck, and the other came out.

The blood-red soul body was still bleeding, and a handful of splash-like souls splashed out in the direction of the stabbing force at the breach.

The blue light on the staff disappeared suddenly.

And Lan En's face was calm, he hadn't dealt with the soul body, so he decided to make his technique safer.

With a "stab" sound, the dagger that stabbed horizontally into his neck was pulled out horizontally by the witcher.

If the scene is a physical body, then after this blow, the cervical vertebrae should already be visible from the front.
