Chapter 2892 The Invaded Camp
Although Flora has not appeared frequently in Willendel City in recent years, she spent her teenage years there after all, so she has a very good relationship with the Great Witch of Space who has been active in the royal capital all year round.
Sylvia glanced behind her and saw that the young girls all stepped aside sensibly. Then the witch whispered:
"Oh, Flora, are you making fun of me? Since you are all called by your names by him, surely I can too? Something happened last night, and I convinced Shad to change the way he calls me, just like Xiwei."
The artist nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it:
"So now, apart from Grandma Cassandra, only Bella is still called by her last name by Shade, right? Speaking of which, you guys started earlier than me, but you didn't act very quickly either~"
She smiled unconsciously while speaking, and this smile made Sylvia change her mind. She narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Flora, do you know how I convinced Shade to change the way he addressed me yesterday?"
The curious artist shook her head:
“Is it a very romantic scene?”
"Yes, of course it's romantic."
Sylvia lowered her voice and whispered something in her friend's ear, and the latter's face turned red at a visible speed. When a large group of blue and yellow furry chocobos ran happily in the woods, Shade turned around and called the girls to set off. Flora Winslet, who had gray-black hair, just looked at Shade, then immediately blushed and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"what happened?"
"You guys are so shameless!"
Although Shade didn't quite understand what happened to Flora, he could probably guess something from Sylvia's slightly smug expression. Fortunately, this didn't affect the next move. After Shade determined the direction with his powerful spatial perception, he rode on the tallest blue chocobo and led everyone into the forest.
The Chocobos were very fast, and they entered the orchard at around 10 a.m. Out of caution, they stopped at the periphery and, as usual, had several girls who were good at long-range reconnaissance use magic, which resulted in a not-so-good result:
"There are traces of ring sorcerers' activities nearby, and there are obvious reconnaissance rituals."
The speaker was Sylvia's follower, Miss Natalie Moreno. Like Sylvia's assistant Miss Drake, she had been promoted to ten-ring warlocks after Sylvia was promoted to the eleventh level.
“How large is the coverage area of the ceremony?”
"We were worried about triggering the other party's rituals, so we didn't rush to conduct in-depth perception, but the coverage area is definitely not just a small area."
Sylvia then said to Shad:
"It looks like someone has chosen this area as their campsite. The three major colleges have recently joined forces with the church to repair the ancient temple buildings scattered throughout the forest, and have summoned a number of ring sorcerer organizations to come to this area. It looks like we're unlucky to have run into someone this time."
Even with two high-ring witches by his side, it would not be a very prudent move to rush into a ring warlock camp that had already been set up. But since he was already here, there was no reason to turn around and leave:
"Take good care of those chocobos, Sylvia. You take Miss Moreno and the others and hide in the woods. Flora, you turn into an owl and follow me. We will directly trigger each other's rituals and tell them that we have discovered this camp. Let's see what kind of people will come to 'greet' us."
The girls who came this time all came from Willendel with the Great Witch of Space and the Princess. They are all good at space abilities. Even if they encounter the worst situation, they can still run away if they want.
Sylvia had no objection to this plan, and the Great Witch of Death, who had been shy and had not spoken to Shad all the way, nodded and turned into an owl, flapping her wings and flying onto Shad's shoulder.
Xia De waited for a while, making sure that Sylvia and the others were already hidden, then he reached out and touched the owl on his shoulder:
"If it's not necessary, let's not do it for now."
He had done this before, but this time the gray owl shook its body violently, as if it was frightened:
"Ok."
"Well what did Sylvia just tell you?"
So he asked tentatively, hoping that Sylvia hadn't gone into too much detail, but the owl refused to discuss the subject:
"I didn't say anything! I mean, you can't say that at a time like this!"
Xia De didn't ask any more questions. He put on the Soul Crystal Ring, took a deep breath, stood still, and punched the air in front of him:
"Mind blast!"
Under the powerful soul and strong mental force, the impact of the punch in the air roared forward like an invisible storm. While the branches of the dead trees in the forest rustled, the more important thing was that the invisible mental impact interacted with the spirit, directly triggering all the nearby reconnaissance rituals.
In the eyes of the owl on her shoulder, if Shade's punch hit him head-on, it would be enough to turn most middle-ring warlocks into idiots. But then she remembered that when she visited Karina who was resting in bed, she praised Shade's physical strength, so even without the added mental power, Shade's fist was a deadly weapon.
"But what does it mean that Carina specifically praised Shade's physical strength to me? Is she trying to tell me that Shade is not afraid of being affected by the death nature of my soul?"
The ritual was triggered without any sound or light effects, except that the "strong wind" scared away a few birds resting on the treetops not far away. Shade stood still, thinking that someone would appear soon, but he waited for a full five minutes and nothing happened.
If the other party was really so lax in guarding the camp, they would probably all have died on the first night they arrived here.
Finally, it was the owl on the shoulder who suggested:
"Look ahead. Apart from the squirrel that just jumped over your head, I don't sense any soul bigger than a fist approaching us."
Xia De then made a gesture behind him, indicating that Miss Sylvia and the others did not need to come out for the time being, and then walked towards the orchard that had been abandoned for a hundred years.
The girls' perception just now was not wrong. With the old site of the orchard as the center, there were indeed a large number of traces of reconnaissance rituals, and those ritual traces were indeed triggered by Shade.
At first he thought it was a trap to lure him into the enemy's territory, but soon there were signs of a fierce battle in the nearby woods. A large number of trees seemed to have been cut by high-energy rays, and they were broken into pieces and scattered on the ground. Occasionally, you could see a large tree being uprooted and then inserted into the land farther away at an angle.
The battle that took place not long ago seemed to be a crushing victory, of course, this refers to the side that attacked the camp. The enemy should have directly entered the camp along the way, and the clear traces of fallen trees in the forest showed the enemy's route of advance.
The few charred trees that were ignited by the fireball explosion were still lying on the ground, smoldering with sparks. Shad bent down and wiped the blood on the ground, and found that the blood had not even dried up yet.
“This kind of soul power.”
Miss Owl then crossed her wings in front of her face:
"What a disgusting smell. The other party used a soul-related ability, which is definitely not a safe power."
Of course, Shad knew that the power was not safe. He didn't even need to look at the light of the Night Watcher in his hand or use "Vision Demon" to observe the strong demonic power around him.
In other words, all the traces of battle that he could observe had obvious traces of demonic power. Not only the intruders, but even the ring warlocks stationed here used demonic power.
As expected, the intruder was the doctor. The cut marks on the surrounding trees were obviously caused by the light from his eyes, which he called "anti-life rays". The tree that was used as a stick was probably pulled out by the doctor after his right hand was enlarged by "human pus" and then enlarged.
As for his opponent, Shade guessed that it should be the [Fog Raven Brotherhood]. Most of the people who use demonic power in the entire material world gather in this organization. Although "Sight Demon" is a magic that specifically targets evil spirits and demons, because those ancient evil spirits often appear in the bodies of different demons, this magic also has an effect on the power of ordinary demons.
After figuring this out, Shade said to the owl on his shoulder who had a mysophobia for soul power:
"My friend is probably in front. You guys wait here for me. I'll go over there by myself."
But this time the "Owl" did not agree:
"You should know that the enemy's base is ahead. There must be more than one person waiting for you, right? I know you don't want too many people to see your friend, but I will never disregard your safety."
While speaking, he flapped his wings twice to express his emotions. Shade smiled and touched the owl:
"Well, fly up to the sky and don't let anyone on the ground notice you."
The doctor must have disguised himself well, so it wouldn't matter if he was seen:
"Also, you should take this sword with you."
"Why? Are you afraid that others will know your identity?"
"No, no, I'm afraid of accidental injury. Wait, why do I feel something vibrating on my body?"
Xia De said suspiciously, and fumbled in his pocket, and then took out the dragon egg fragment he got with the tree hole yesterday. This thing was constantly vibrating:
"What does this mean?"
The owl stretched out its wings and touched the eggshell, and analyzed it very professionally:
"The soul of longing has triggered resonance. In simple terms, although the creature in the eggshell is not here, the eggshell has been with it for a long time, so it has been soaked with its soul power. Now it has sensed something important related to it, so it is vibrating. We are not in the wrong place. There are definitely clues related to the black dragon beast here!"
