Chapter 97 Attack (First Watch Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lumian was half-squinting his eyes, feeling the opening of his pores all over his body, and suddenly had an extremely strong premonition of danger.
In the ruins of the dream, he had no shortage of similar experiences, he braked the car suddenly, fell to the side, like a lump of flesh without bones that could not stand.
The sound of the wind poured into his ears, and a sharp axe grazed Lumian's body and split the air.
Lumian fell to the ground with a thud, trying to get up in a rolling manner, but at that moment, a series of pale or dark or strange or evil arms stretched out from the surrounding shadows, grabbing his clothes and clamping his body.
The cold feeling and stiff experience quickly soaked into Lumian's body, and he writhed wildly, wanting to rely on his strong flexibility to break free from confinement, while pulling his throat and shouting loudly:
"Help......
His mouth was suddenly covered by two evil palms covered with tiny pimples, and his voice stopped abruptly, leaving only whining movements.
At the same time, Lumian saw an elongated humanoid shadow cast from the wall, and raised the axe in his hand towards him.
Pawn!
A two-handed greatsword made purely of light blocked the axe's slash.
Ryan was the first to rush over, he didn't even care about putting on the "Dawn Armor", he just condensed the "Sword of Dawn".
The axe, which exists in a shadowy state, takes on a heavy, sharp, and dark appearance as soon as it leaves the wall.
The second person to come to the door of the bathroom was Leah in the study opposite, and the small silver bells on her veil and boots were jingling not too quickly.
Leah raised her right palm and let the silver-white pistol aim at the strange arms that had captured Lumian.
They were frantically trying hard, as if they were going to drag Lumian into the shadows.
On Lumian's neck, forehead, and back of his hands, blue blood vessels protruded, and he had used his strength to breastfeed.
But even so, he still couldn't resist those pale or dark arms, and his whole body blended into the shadows little by little.
Bang!
Leah fired, and a golden bullet wrapped around the blazing flames hit an arm that was so dark that it seemed to be dripping with ink.
The arm suddenly burned, quickly let go of Lumian's neck, and retreated into the shadow in the corner.
When Aurore came to the door of the bathroom, she saw exactly such a scene.
Seeing that one-third of his brother's body had become thinner and darker into shadows, and his expression became more and more stiff, as if he was about to freeze, Aurore didn't care about analyzing the current situation, so he directly took out a handful of iron-black material from the hidden bag.
She sprinkled the powder in her hand on Lumian, and her light blue eyes darkened a little.
Lumian immediately felt an invisible giant hand grab his body, forcibly pulling 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 indistinguishable from the evil and terrifying arms, and Lumian's tendency to slide into the shadows instantly stopped.
Dangdang!
Ryan made a series of slashes, slashing the figure holding the sharp axe back to the wall.
In the next second, Valentai appeared behind Leah and Auror.
When he saw Lumian's condition, he immediately opened his arms halfway.
Illusory golden flames emerged out of thin air around Lumian, instantly igniting countless evil arms.
Those black or pale arms either fell drops of liquid like candles melting, or they evaporated, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating in mid-air.
In a second or two, the strange arm that grabbed Lumian disappeared four-fifths of the time.
The remaining part struggled to resist the invisible giant hand and Lumian, and separated from the target one after another.
Lumian suddenly felt relaxed, and following the pull of the invisible giant, he half-flew and half-pounced in front of Aurore.
At this time, with those dark or pale arms retracting, the figures holding axes froze on the wall, quickly blending with the surrounding shadows, and there was nothing unusual.
Lumian stood up, looked around, and sneered:
"Is this the end?
"Only one person was sent, you look down on us too much, right?"
Aurore glared at him hurriedly:
"Don't talk!"
How can you say such unlucky things at such a time?
As Auror's voice still echoed in the hallway, behind Lia, on the wall next to the wooden door of the study, a black vine covered with spikes and unusually thick, as if it had come from the abyss, fell from the roof.
Its top is covered with giant flowers that are as red as blood and have a fishy taste.
This flower swelled up like a mouth that had opened to its limit.
It swallowed Lia's head suddenly, wriggling frantically.
Biting and biting, the things in its mouth turned into a thin piece of paper, and it was torn apart by it.
Immediately afterwards, the pure giant sword of light flew out of the bathroom and nailed the giant evil flower to the wall.
A stream of bright red blood suddenly flowed out along the sword body and was evaporated into mist.
Almost at the same time, one similar black vine after another hung down from the roof of the Lumian house, which covered the walls, sealed the windows, and grew one bright red giant flower after another.
Aurore had already taken out a material that looked like pearls and threw them into the air, combining with some natural force that was being pryed.
The invisible warm wind blew, and those black vines lost their vitality one after another, became withered, and could no longer support the bright red flowers in mid-air.
They hang softly on the floor of the second floor.
The effect is very good...... Seeing this, Aurore secretly sighed.
Her spell came from a member of the Curly Baboon Research Society, and it was a "weeding technique" he learned somewhere to tidy up the lawn and garden.
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, and he once again summoned golden, illusory "fires of light" that burned the filthy creatures in the hallways and in the 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, watching his sister and the three foreigners clean up the anomaly that invaded the second floor in a cooperative way.
Not long after, those black vines and bright red flowers turned into green smoke.
However, the small silver bells on Lia's veil and boots were still jingling, indicating that the danger had not been lifted.
Lumian quickly looked around, sniffed and said:
"The smell in the air doesn't seem right......"
It seems that there is a faint, sweet fishy smell remaining.
"I feel a little dizzy and want to sleep." Leah did not hide her discomfort.
Are those vines and flowers narcotic after burning? It's really insidious! Aurore had a wealth of occult knowledge and immediately reacted.
She took out another handful of transparent powder and threw them forward.
The wind came out of thin air, sweeping everywhere on the second floor.
Seeing this, Ryan, Lumian, Valentine, and Leah each ran into different rooms and pushed open the window closed by the black vine.
When the wind that was not harmful to humanity stopped, Aurore looked at Lumian and asked:
"What about now?"
Lumian sniffed carefully:
"It doesn't taste like that anymore."
"I feel better too." Leah followed.
At this time, the small silver bells on her veil and boots stopped shaking.
This indicates that the crisis is resolved.
"The priests of the parish and their tentative attack?" Aurore began to guess.
Lumian glanced at Valentine, who was looking bad:
"I think it should be, and 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:
"Either way, it reminds us that we must raise our vigilance.
"From now on, we will be divided into two groups, taking turns resting and night duty, day and night."
If only one person is on duty at night, it is likely to be raided and in trouble, with no one to help in time.
"No problem." Aurore and Lumian looked at each other and said, "I'm in a group with my brother."
Ryan and others did not disagree.
After that, the two groups took on the responsibility of vigilance in a six-hour rotation, and although nothing happened, as Lent approached, they both knew exactly that danger was coming, and it was round after round.
During this time, Lumian continued to explore the dream world while taking a break.
He didn't hunt the flame monster immediately, suppressing his eagerness in his heart, in order to fully understand the pattern of the target's activities.
Relying on the ability of "stealth", relying on long-distance tracking again and again, relying on repeated observation, and relying on enough patience, Lumian finally grasped the information he wanted:
The flame monster would go to the clearing in the morning of dream time to set traps and practice the relevant skills it had mastered, which would last forty-five minutes to an hour and a half, and then it would leave along a fixed route and enter an area strewn with a lot of flesh and blood to replenish its energy.
Its actions in the afternoon were irregular, mainly taking different paths to patrol its "territory", and Lumian had not yet discovered the criteria for choosing the corresponding route.
Wait until the evening and it will enter the hunting area again along that fixed route.
After that, Lumian didn't know, he only went to the Dream Ruins for a maximum of six hours each time, and never explored at night.
…………
The night before Lent.
Lumian woke up in the bedroom and faint gray mist in the dream realm, glanced at the "Fallen Mercury" placed next to him, and instantly focused his mind.
Tonight, he will hunt the flame monster.
ps: There are three watches today, the first one is to ask for a monthly pass~ The second and third watches are at 7:05 pm and 7:05 pm.
