Chapter 22: Inexplicable Hostility

"Hold on to me!" Riel said, chanting the incantation.

Compared to a year ago, Riel is now very progressive, especially after going through the triple trial, he has learned a lot from Frey and Allen, although it still seems to be a rough hand at times, but at the very least, he can no longer make any mistakes when using Starlight.

For example, hitting a wall on the ground......

He took Frey and Alyssa to the exact back of the two necromancers, marking the trunks of the nearby trees with his wand in advance.

As Frey had expected, the two necromancers had no idea they had escaped from there, and were still staring intently at where they were.

"I'm driven by the power of the cold, either for swords or for shackles!" Alyssa chanted as she waved her wand.

The two necromancers turned back in fright, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, and tried to run, but it was too late. Alyssa had only appeared outside halfway through the incantation, and now from behind her to the shore, she was quietly covered in ice crystals, and although the tentacles made of ice crystals could not catch the necromancers in the mist state, Alyssa had already guessed that there would be such a possibility, so she also made another preparation.

"Like rain is not rain, like fog is not fog, formless and traceless, and it is also a shackle!"

Originally, the necrons had the speed of the wind, and it was easy to escape, but after Alyssa chanted the incantation, their movements suddenly slowed down, as if they had suddenly had a thousand pounds of weight on their bodies, and as if an invisible hand had firmly grasped them. If you look closely at their bodies, a layer of white crystalline things is slowly accumulating, and there are more and more of them.

"What's that?" Riel didn't really see it, but it felt like there was an extra layer of white stuff on the already black necromancer.

"It's not something weird, just some ice crystal debris. "It's just that I wind ground the crumbs into powder and sprinkled them in the air. ”

"Powder?" Rare didn't quite understand.

"The bodies of these necromancers are misty and cannot be grasped by ordinary ice vein tentacles. "So if you want to trap them, you have to polish the shackles to fit them." ”

After that, Alyssa shouted again: "Freeze!"

I saw that with her order, the frost powder covering the necromancer's body suddenly began to condense, and within a moment, the two necromancers who were still trying to use various magic to break free had been completely frozen into ice cubes and lay on the ground.

Seeing the wand fall from their hands, several people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How long can you trap them?" asked Allen, who also stepped out from behind the tree and lifted his disguise.

"If you just maintain this state, half an hour is still easy. "Didn't she say that she would go into the water about ten minutes after the battle began on our side, half an hour should be enough for her." ”

"Hmm...... Half an hour is indeed long enough. Alan thought for a moment and stopped asking.

However, the four of them were a little puzzled that the original purpose of this operation was to attract the attention of the mermen, so as to create a chance for Cynthia to get close to the staff of the void, but from the beginning to the present, not only did the other mermaids show up, but even the mermaids who were originally patrolling the shore also dived back into the water. And the battle situation just now was changing rapidly, and they really couldn't afford to be distracted, so they could only focus all their attention on these two necromancers.

"Why is it so quiet...... "Rare asked, looking around, "Aren't we making enough noise?"

"How is it possible...... Alan also began to look around seriously, "Although the hearing of mermaids is not very good, they are not deaf, and it is impossible for them not to know about this kind of thing that happens at their doorstep." ”

"But......" Riel looked across the lake again, and saw that even the merman over there was gone.

"Could it be that they are hiding because the situation is not good?" said Frey, "after all, the magic used on both sides during the battle just now was not small...... Whether it can threaten its own security - this basic judgment, I think they still have it. ”

"It's possible, but ......" Alan stopped talking. He always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the water and headed straight for Alyssa!

Fortunately, Alyssa's vigilance was high enough, and the Frost Realm had not yet been lifted, so with a flick of her wand, she froze the thing that flew at her into ice.

With a "snap", the thing fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a weapon in the hands of each of the sharks......

"Isn't this the harpoon they all have?" asked Riel, "this...... You're attacking us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few more black shadows swishing over, still heading for Alyssa. But without exception, they were frozen into ice by Alyssa halfway through.

"Hey, hey, these guys are a little unreasonable......" Riel was a little unhappy, "We helped them solve such a big problem, is that how they thanked us?"

"Could it be that the magic we're using is so powerful that they feel threatened?" Alyssa asked, "after all, this is their territory, and using it on their doorstep might make them feel scared somewhat...... Maybe they're just trying to drive us away?"

But what Alyssa didn't expect was that just after she said this, something that surprised her even more happened......

I saw small heads and rows of harpoon arms suddenly stretched out from the water on the shore of the lake, and the rough estimate was at least hundreds, and then they threw their weapons in this direction at the same time as if they had received an order......

It was impossible to dodge, these harpoons falling from the sky were like raindrops, and Alyssa had to quickly open an ice crystal barrier to protect everyone.

"I don't think they're just trying to get rid of us......" Alan looked carefully at the water's edge, his face solemn, "Such a strong hostility, they want to kill us......"

"They were all gathered at the water's edge...... "Frey was already listening to the spell, and he was repeating, "Yes...... The nest was out, and everyone came, except those who were under the water. ”

"Could it be that Cynthia has already gotten the Staff of Void, so they found out they had fallen for it and came after us?" Riel guessed excitedly, "I didn't expect her to move quite fast!"

But Frey shook his head and denied him: "No...... She ......"

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing that Frey's face was solemn and he wanted to stop talking, Alan quickly asked, "Got in trouble?"

"I don't know if she's in trouble......" Frey shook his head again, "but how did she get to ...... Not in the water yet?"
