Chapter 4: The Illusion of Absolute Peace
"You block it, I'll cast a spell!" Mono took four steps back and turned behind the bamboo shoots, the flames in his hands disappearing. The knights of the Ailluminal Day will practice both magic.
Although he was temporarily pushed on the field as a shield, the bamboo shoots did not complain.
The two clumps of ooze merge together to form a large ooze of ooze. The monster clay in nature doesn't move fast, it feels like a creature like a leech is moving, but this clay is more like a rubber ball that can be deformed freely, and as soon as it is pressed on the ground, it jumps up and pounces on the bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots slashed through with the Bamboo Branch Holy Sword, and the moment they touched, they released a shield-shaped force field. The ooze hits the non-existent wall, and suddenly becomes a sludge again, dripping down the surface of the force field.
"Take away the fairy who dreams away, the night that blinds your eyes, and erect a wall of darkness!" After Mono finished chanting the incantation, his palms opened to the ends of the corridor, and two black shadows rose from the ground, forming a black curtain to block the passage, preventing people outside from knowing what was going on inside.
"Weishenme is this kind of spell?" Bamboo Shoot asked anxiously. He thought it was a spell to clean up the ooze.
"Your Highness has decreed that maintaining a semblance of peace is a top priority. Mono withdrew his hands, rubbing his palms against each other, and the Flame Sword reappeared as he pulled it out. This time, the tongue of fire was twice as large as before, and the hallways were all red by the firelight.
The soft mud dripped to the ground and divided into two clumps to outflank the bamboo shoots from the left and right. With a swing of Mono's holy sword, a semicircular wall of fire enveloped the bamboo shoots and separated the soft mud. Bamboo shoots took the opportunity to exit the encirclement and moved to the other end of the corridor with Mono.
The bamboo shoots asked, "Is this a human or a monster?"
"People. Our secret service assassination unit. γ
"What's going on?"
"Lord Galag should be talking to your boss about this, so get rid of these two first. Be careful not to get touched. γ
"Do you want to kill?" Bamboo shoots' voice raised slightly.
"That's fine!" Mono said, rushing towards the pile of ooze. Dozens of small oozes bounced up at him.
His holy sword pulled back, swung it forward, and suddenly became several times longer, turning into a flying whip of fire. He rushed into the pile of ooze, the whip of fire swirling around his body so fast that it almost formed a ball of fire, and he jumped up and attacked his little ooze and touched the holy sword, all of which fell to the ground.
The soft mud burned by the fire of the sword was scorched on the surface, but after shaking off the ashes and carbon blocks, it returned to its original state. If it continues to be consumed like this, it is difficult to say whether it will be Mono or soft mud that will not hold on first.
Suddenly, the tip of the Mono Whip rolled up a cloud of soft mud that had been lying on the ground.
No matter what substance the holy sword looks like, it is just an appearance, although there are often holy swords that show characteristics that match the external form, but they are essentially "miracles".
The fire of the Holy Sword doesn't just burn. The soft mud was entangled in flames that should have been disembodied by Mo, and it was thrown into the air with force. After the ooze was thrown high, the Mono Fire Whip flung down again, slashing through the middle of the ooze and cutting the ooze in half like a sharp blade.
Screams of terror rang out. The two halves of ooze turned into two balls of blood, splattering all over the ground. Mono scrambled to erect a wall of fire to stop the blood from spurting onto him. The rest of the ooze began to move in all directions. They bounce to the ceiling, to the window, and to escape.
"Don't run!" The whip in Mono's hand turned into a net of fire, chasing the ooze extended, but there was too much ooze to catch up.
The bamboo shoots estimated the width of the corridor, drew a square with the bamboo branch holy sword, and flicked his hand to send the force field forward. The block force field just fits against the wall, scraping all the ooze off.
Mono burned the soft mud for a while, and the soft mud gathered together, and became one of the two guests he had just seen, and fell to the ground unconscious.
The bamboo shoots looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and couldn't imagine what had happened to the other person who hadn't changed. He was about to approach the man, but Mono quickly said, "Don't touch him! He just looks like he's changed back, and when you touch him, he will melt away." If they come into contact with the "liquid", they will be poisoned. γ
Only then did it occur to the bamboo shoots that from just now to now, in the face of the crazy offensive of the soft mud, Mono himself had not even touched the slightest.
"You have to tie it up with this thing before you can touch it. Mono pulled out a strip of cloth with magical words written on it from his waist bag.
At this moment, the person's eyelids moved, and with a "poof" sound, as if a balloon had been punctured, a large amount of blood gushed out from the holes on his body, and in a few seconds, only a layer of human skin and two eyeballs remained on the ground, which slowly dissolved in the pool of blood.
Mono and Bamboo Shoots protected their feet with the holy sword in time. The force field forms an embankment to keep the blood out. Mono whispered, "That's why I said it was fine. He paused and asked, "Is there a branch line for a one-day ticket?"
"Let's think about how to clean up this place first, don't make a big fuss, I'll tell Banato to see-" Bamboo shoots were halfway through when they saw the black curtains blocking both sides of the corridor begin to twist and bulge, and a cloud of black shadows broke away from the dark curtain and entered the hallway.
The dark shadows took the form of a man in a black hooded cloak and said to the two, "Two adults, please leave first. It's enough to have our "bats" here. γ
They formed a ring around their black-gloved hands, and in the middle of it appeared the light flow of the portal, as if there was an invisible water pipe, and the blood water was sucked into the portal through a tubular space and disappeared without a trace.
The bamboo shoots clenched the holy sword nervously.
Mono smiled and said, "They are their own people, and the aftermath is their specialty, just leave it to them. You go back and report it. γ

Serene felt extremely uneasy. Even in front of Ms. Lylenot, he didn't want to get away with it.
In the preparation room cubicle of the Knights of the Illumination, Gallag, Banatu, and Seren, were seated on three sides of the same table, with Banato and Galag facing each other, and Seren, sandwiched in the middle.
"So Lord Lafayette, what position do you hold in the Holy Shield now?"
"No, he's from the Mobile Group. γ
Galagar asked with a grimace, and Banatu replied with a smile.
Galag's eyes seemed to sharpen, and Seren struggled to maintain his apparent composure.
"You mean that Lord Lafayette, as a paladin, is not qualified to enter the Rose Hall?"
"If you're referring to the fact that you can't run for the next head of the regiment, that's right. γ
γweishenmeοΌγ
"Because he can't do it. γ
"And how are you going to train him?"
"Train him normally, just like a knight. γ
"He's a paladin. γ
"Paladins are human too. The policy of our regiment is to train paladins as knights, without privileges, and without raising or lowering the requirements for them just because he is a paladin. γ
"Okay. I know how the Holy Shield works. I would see him the same way. γ
Despite Gallag's answer, Sereng always felt that he was not satisfied with Banatu's answer, nor was Seren, and perhaps not with the Holy Shield at all.
The surrounding knights of the Holy Sun, who stood like columns, were silently looking at Seren. Seren could sense that they were comparing him to their paladin Shuyan. It is said that Shuyang is able to block a hundred, and his ability to lead and govern is also outstanding. Seren didn't think he was weak, but if he was to compare him to that kind of inhuman knight, he didn't have confidence.
That's what Banato meant when he said to Gallagher: "Serene is a man. But that is not the case with regard to the Day of the Illumination. In them, the paladins are special.
Finally holding out until Gallag and Banato were alone to talk, Serense was invited back to his preparation room, and as soon as he opened the door, a commotion rushed to him. He saw Thosa Bai handing out snacks inside.
Recalling the neat and solemn scene he had just seen in the preparation room on the Day of the Apocalypse, and comparing it to the scene in front of him where he threw the packaged snacks over everyone's heads and into the hands of the people at the other end of the room, there was no discipline at all, and Seren thought for a moment: although it looked more handsome, he still liked it more.
"Seren's back, the spicy taste is gone!" Toushabai turned around, and as soon as he saw Seren, he immediately checked the bag in his hand: "You can eat coconut flavor, otherwise you will have to rob Akouer." γ
Serense glanced at Akor, who looked back at him with a blank expression. A second later, with minimal movements, Ah Koer only moved his wrist to "hiss" in front of Seren's eyes to tear open the package of spicy-flavored potato chips, and the implication of not wanting to give it to Serian could not be more obvious.
"No, I'll just eat coconut. Serenne said.
Seren took the snack and sat down on the edge of the table to eat, "Even the hand of magic is here?"
"When a vote comes, Banatou will be busy, and a bunch of people will talk to him. Toushabai took a bag of snacks from the bag and stared at the knight sitting on the sofa, and the two men immediately jumped up and gave him their seats.
Thoshabai is a member of the "First Intelligence Department of Mages", commonly known as the "Magic Hand", specializing in psychic spells. Although he is an ally with the Holy Shield, the knights of the Holy Shield always have a bit of an extraordinary awe for him, and it has something to do with the fact that he is good at reading people's hearts and has an extraordinary majesty.
"Do you know what's going on? We only received an order to dispatch, and when we came here, we learned that even a large crowd had come on the day of the Apocalypse. Seren asked Thoshabai, "I guess it has something to do with the visit of the eldest princess of Nirvana, but it doesn't seem to be an ordinary security mission, the scale of the operation should be - it has been determined that someone is going to assassinate the eldest princess. γ
"It was the Knights' higher-ups who asked for our help. Thothaber leaned back in his chair, "Also, there are people in the black market who are here to help. γ
"Weishenme?" Seren cried out in surprise.
"Strange, right? There were several 'bats' of Naring, and when I saw them, I was so scared that my soul was about to fly. Tho Shabai raised his eyebrows: "Something is wrong. A new generation of talented players is now gathering in large numbers in this hotel. If it is to make Wei'an foolproof, Weishenme doesn't invite seasoned top people to come and sit in the town? I always feel that they deliberately don't look for people who have already become famous, for fear of attracting attention? γ
"I didn't bring Shuyang with me on the day of the Aillumination. Seren whispered.
"The strongest here is Galag. γ
