"Stop arguing. Dark elves and vampires both have some resistance to illusions, so it would be the least risky if you two split one." Esna explained.
"I don't want it! Wait here for me, I'll go back to the old lady and get another one!" Fidna shook her head vigorously and ran back at a flying pace.
After Fidena left, everyone had to stay where they were and wait.
At this moment, Isidor heard the strange voice again. This time, the voice did not speak to him, but sang a sad ballad. The lyrics were vague and unclear, but the tone was so sad that it was hard to imagine what the singer had experienced to make such a sad voice.
Isidor looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a black gauze dress sitting in the clouds, playing an unknown instrument and singing softly.
Isidor was involuntarily attracted by the voice. He stood up and almost walked towards the woman. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his chest. He reached out and touched it, only to see that the knot Noel had given him had been burnt black.
Isidor was startled, and then he looked in the direction he had just been. There was no woman there. It was just a vague human-like shape on the rock wall.
"Esina, I'm attacked by an illusion!" Isidor said to Esina holding the burnt knot.
"Is this Noel's hair? How did you get this thing? No, it doesn't matter. The thing on Noel does have the ability to purify evil spirits, but it should be ineffective against illusion attacks. Could it be that this is not just an illusion, but a kind of spiritual pollution?" Esina pondered.
When Isidor heard the familiar word, his mind subconsciously flashed back to the "Danger Zone" video that he had accidentally seen on a video website before, and he suddenly felt a chill.
Although he had encountered many powerful enemies, at least they were visible and tangible. This kind of invisible enemy was really difficult to deal with. He couldn't help but miss Noelle, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. If she were here, she would be able to ignore the mental pollution and directly use her eternal silver eyes to find the enemy's body and easily destroy it!
"The thorny memory is destroyed." Isidor sighed.
"What are you talking about?" Esina asked curiously.
"Nothing, just playing Three Kingdoms Kill." Isidor replied.
Chapter 86: Damn, I’m surrounded by beauties!
Just as Aisina was about to make a few more jokes, she suddenly saw Fidna running towards her happily, carrying a flat bag.
"Boss! I'm back! The old lady gave me a whole bag of fennel leaves. Now I can eat them while walking!" Fidna said happily.
"Now that we have it, let's go! Isidor was attacked again just now. Everyone must be careful and don't look around." Esina looked Fidena up and down, her eyes hesitated for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and she led everyone to continue exploring the depths of the cave.
As the sound of water became louder and louder, the group came to a huge cave that they had never seen before. On the top of the cave, there were glowing stones carved into the sun, moon and stars, and at the bottom was a huge pool of water. Several streams from all directions continued to flow into the pool, which was the source of the sound of water.
When you get close to Xiaotan, you can faintly hear some stringed instruments and chirping birds coming from the water, but you can't see a single person.
"The aura of magic has reached its peak here. The enemy is likely hiding under the pool. Who among you can dive? Go down and get some information." asked Esina.
"I'm a landlubber, you know." The dark elf spread his hands.
"Don't look at me, vampires are afraid of running water." The vampire said quickly.
“I can swim, but I can’t hold my breath for very long,” the half-elf raised his hand.
"I have practiced diving and can hold my breath for a long time, but I don't know how deep this pool is," said Isidor.
"Then, Isidor, please conserve your strength - Emmeline, you go down first and take a look. If there is no danger, Isidor will dive into the deep water to investigate." Esna said.
"Understood." Emmeline nodded, took off her skirt, handed it to Iovia along with her weapon, and then began to move around on the shore.
The half-elf was wearing a bra and shorts under her skirt, which made it easier to move. Isidor realized that the little sister, who he thought was a soft-spoken little loli, actually had a very fit body. The muscles on her back had unnatural bulges, forming beautiful lines like armor.
No wonder she looks very thin but can easily draw a strong bow.
She looks muscular when she takes off her clothes and looks thin when she puts on clothes.
The half-elf moved around for a while, then jumped into the pool and swam around. He then came back and said to Esna, "I didn't find any traps or monsters, but the water was a little cold."
Esna nodded, patted Isidor's shoulder, and drew a rune on his chest and neck: "Go down, I have cast a detection magic on you, just dive down and don't worry about anything. The magic will automatically detect the surrounding situation and feedback to my senses."
Isidor nodded, and since he only had one layer of clothing on, he decided not to take it off. He stretched his body a little, picked up a heavy stone, held it in his arms, and dived down.
The moment he touched the water, Isidor felt a piercing chill, as if countless sharp ice spikes were piercing his body at the same time. The water was so cold, and Sister-chan just said "a little cold"? It seems that even punctuation marks in women's words cannot be trusted.
Isidor continued to descend holding the stone, and soon reached a deeper position. At this time, he seemed not to feel so cold, and he didn't know whether he had adapted to the water temperature or the lower layer was warmer.
He opened his eyes and looked around, and found that the surrounding view was very good. Firstly, the water was very clear, and secondly, there were also glowing stones on the wall of the pool like those outside.
He looked around, but saw nothing except the slippery rock wall. When he looked down, it was pitch black, and it seemed to be quite deep.
So he continued to dive, feeling the surroundings gradually warming up, and the instruments and voices he had heard earlier gradually becoming clearer. He swam in the direction of the sound and finally reached the bottom of the pond.
The moment he touched the bottom of the pond, Isidor felt as if the buoyancy of the water seemed to have disappeared, making his body suddenly become heavy.
He looked up and found a large and luxurious ship under the water. The ship was brightly lit, just like a street market. The musical instruments and voices came from this ship.
Although Isidor could hold his breath for a long time, he was almost at his limit. So he put down the stone and prepared to float up to tell Esna about the situation here.
But after throwing away the stone, Isidor showed no signs of floating up. What surprised him even more was that he could actually breathe underwater!
Even if he opened his mouth as wide as possible, the water would not flow into his mouth, but would flow past him like smooth silk.
Just as Isidor was worrying about how to get up, someone on the boat noticed Isidor's presence. Several beautiful women in strange clothes came down from the boat gracefully, put their arms around Isidor's arms, and invited him to get on board.
Isidor only felt that they had an amazing fragrance and the hands holding his arms were so soft and boneless that he followed them onto the boat unconsciously.
The beauties treated Isidor to cakes and wine on the boat. Isidor got drunk and couldn't help but act like an animal. He swept away the dishes on the table and had a party with the beauties at the table.
After the revelry, Isidor still felt a little unsatisfied. He had already mastered the art of enduring battles, and he went through all the rooms on the top floor, but he just felt that he had just whetted his appetite. He became more and more excited, and gradually came to the lower level of the ship.
He followed the scent into the room as before, but this time there was no beauty in the room, but several skeletons dressed in women's clothes.
Isidor was startled. He was about to leave, but the skeletons pulled him in with charming gestures. Isidor was a little impatient with them pulling him, so he materialized a stick and smashed them to pieces in two or three strokes.
After smashing the skeleton, Isidor continued to stagger around, but in every room there were only skeletons wearing women's clothes, and no living people at all. He smashed the skeletons he saw with a stick, and went all the way to the innermost part of the lower floor, and finally saw a beautiful woman in a maid's outfit in a room, drinking tea quietly there.
When Isidor saw the maid costume, he couldn't help but think of Nymega. He became very angry and was about to grab it to have some fun when suddenly a young man with angry eyes and brows jumped out and blocked his way.
"You are not allowed to hurt her! My sister is mine!" The young man said in a slightly trembling voice, holding a dagger in his hand.
Isidor was stunned for a moment. Although he had been increasingly unwilling to restrain his desires recently, he still had a minimum bottom line. He had no interest in being a yellow-haired man, and he was unwilling to touch the dry food that belonged to him.
So he turned and left the room. Just as he was about to go somewhere else to have a look, the plank under his feet suddenly collapsed and he fell to the bottom of the boat.
When he stood up, he saw only a strange-looking sword stuck in the ground, with a pile of bones scattered around it.
Isidor looked at the sword and felt uncomfortable all over. When he was about to leave, a group of beauties suddenly rushed over and grabbed his arms to stop him from leaving. Isidor pushed them down, but they suddenly turned into hideous monsters crawling on the ground, grabbing his legs and biting them.
Chapter 87: Whirlwind Ranger
Seeing the ugly and hideous monsters all over the ground, Isidor broke out in a cold sweat and sobered up from the alcohol.
He immediately raised his foot and swept it, and the power of thousands of points was invincible, instantly sweeping away all the ghosts and monsters.
However, just as he was about to take the opportunity to leave, he suddenly choked on a large mouthful of water, and the resistance to his movements became enormous.
Isidor hurriedly held his breath, only to realize that he was still deep in the pool, and the magical phenomenon that allowed him to breathe in the water had disappeared.
The ghosts surrounded Isidor again, holding him back and preventing him from leaving. Although the attack capabilities of these ghosts were nothing, as long as he was trapped here, drowning was a matter of time.
Isidor quickly materialized two sharp blades and slashed left and right, but he didn't expect that the ghost that was chopped did not die, but continued to grab him by dragging its remaining limbs, and the wounds healed quickly, making it impossible to kill him.
Isidor felt a tightness in his chest, and he was obviously lacking oxygen. In a hurry, he didn't care about much else and directly activated "Super Fusion", combining the three skills of identification, hypnosis and backstab that were rarely used now.
【Successful integration】
[Lost skills: Identification, Hypnosis and Backstab LV6]
[Obtained the Ranger-exclusive professional skill: Whirlwind LV10]
[Upgraded profession: Cyclone Ranger]
[Agility increased to: 856]
Although the name of the skill is very ordinary, since it is a new skill obtained by integrating three skills, and it is at level ten right from the start, it must have some unique features!
Thinking of this, Isidor used all his energy to materialize a big sword, swung the sword and launched a whirlwind slash.
The whirlwind slash was launched with just a whirling slash. But after the slash, a whirling force pushed the water to spin rapidly. The powerful centrifugal force even created a huge vortex with Isidor as the center, sucking the surrounding ghosts into the vortex.
The exhaustion of his mental power gave Isidor a headache, but fortunately, Dice Girl's mental power had been gradually replenished, so he was not unable to move.
Isidor looked up and saw that he was deep in the pond. The ground within a radius of more than ten meters around him had been exposed and became the center of the vortex. The surrounding pond water was all driven to the surrounding areas by the vortex, looking like a huge wall of water.
The power of the tenth-level vortex slash was so amazing that with one sword, the entire pool of water was turned upside down. What would happen if it hit a person?
Although he was very satisfied with the power of the whirlwind, the water flow around him had gradually shrunk. How could he get up there?
Just as Isidor was hesitating, suddenly an arrow shot down from above and hit Isidor's feet. There was a rope tied to the tail of the arrow.
Isidor looked up. Although he couldn't see what was happening above from his position, he knew that it must have been shot down by Emmeline. So he tied the rope around his waist, grabbed the rope and threw himself into the water wall, then climbed up the wall to the ground.
It was indeed Emmeline who was pulling the rope on the ground. Her hair was completely wet. She no longer looked so cute, but she looked more heroic.
After thanking his sister, Isidor told Esuna about the strange situation under the pool.
"It's really more than just an illusion. Everyone has worked hard. I have obtained enough information through the detection magic on you. Next, we should make a big fuss and force the real culprit to show up." As Esina said this, she lifted the hem of her skirt, bent down and placed her palms flat on the ground.
A few seconds later, the ground began to shake violently. There was a loud noise from deep underground. The water in the pool began to surge as if it was boiling. The water level was also dropping rapidly, and soon it dropped to the point where it was almost dry.
"What did you do?" Isidor asked in surprise.
"I discovered it when you went down. There is another secret room under the bottom of the pool, and the real owner was hiding in the secret room to perform illusions. I just used mental magic to penetrate the rock wall and let the water flow down, that's all." Esina stood up and answered.
"What a terrible magic! This way, the enemies will be forced out, right?" Iowa said.
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud rumbling sound, and a stone pillar rose from the bottom of the pool, hitting the dome before stopping. The stone pillar hit the sun, moon and stars above, as if triggering some kind of mechanism, and countless strange cries came one after another, as if countless monsters were rushing towards this side.
"Well, it's about time to start cleaning up, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you get hit in the back later." Esna said, and suddenly turned around without warning, chopped off Fidna's head with a sword, and then immediately cast a spell on the corpse.
Before Fidna could react, her whole body was twisted like a pretzel. Her head rolled to the side, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe what was happening.
"Esina, are you crazy? Why are you suddenly attacking your companions?" Iovia was the first to react, grabbing Esina's arm and shouting.
"It's so troublesome. Why can't you just die quietly?" Esina sighed.
However, Fidna, who was twisted on the ground, did not die. Instead, she stood up in a weird posture, holding her head and walked towards Esna, and then was blown away by magic. This happened several times, and Fidna's body was destroyed beyond recognition, almost becoming a pile of minced meat, but she still kept walking towards Esna.
"Is this Fidna? No... vampire regeneration is not like this. Could it be a monster pretending to be her?" Iovia said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm afraid she was replaced a long time ago. She likes to chatter so much, but she hasn't said much until now. Don't you think it's strange?" Esina said, and once again cast a spell to completely crush the twisted monster.
This time, the monster did not stand up. Instead, a burst of black air emerged from the pieces of flesh, eventually converging into a semi-transparent figure that was completely black.
"A spirit? What a troublesome type. The silver eyes are useless." Esina said helplessly.
"Let me do it." Iowa said, took out a black dagger, approached the black monster with ghostly steps, and slashed its neck with lightning speed.
However, the black gas was only slightly disturbed, and did not cause any damage. Instead, it climbed up Iowa's arm along the dagger. Fortunately, she acted quickly and had escaped from the attack range of the black gas. The black gas that left the body quickly dissipated without causing any damage.
"If physical attacks don't work, try this trick of mine!" Iovia did not give up. She attacked again, much faster than before.
She held a dagger in each hand and swung twice with force like thunder, but she did not chop at the monster. Instead, she slashed a few centimeters on both sides of the monster.
"Zhejie Zhan!" Iowa put away the dagger and turned her back in a very childish manner.
As soon as he finished speaking, two invisible waves seemed to appear on the empty spaces on both sides of the monster, and merged towards the monster, squeezing the monster into the thickness of a piece of paper like a closed book, and then disappeared into thin air.
"How is it? Have I made progress?" Iowa said excitedly to Esna.
"Be careful behind you!" Aisina quickly reminded.
Before she finished her words, another black gas surged towards Iowa from behind, wrapping her up. Iowa made a painful sound, but it was useless to struggle, because the black gas was invisible and intangible, and she couldn't catch it at all.
Emmeline had already bent her bow, but could only stand aside nervously. The dark mist enveloped the dark elf's body. Her arrows might not be able to hurt the black mist, but they could undoubtedly penetrate the dark elf. Isidor only had physical attack methods, so he was naturally helpless against this thing.
"What is this? An evil spirit? Damn, if only there was a priest." Iowa said hatefully.
"There's no priest, but how about a paladin?" Just then, a not-so-clever voice sounded from the darkness.
Then, a silver-white sword pierced through the dark elf's chest from behind.
Chapter 88: Holy Light Knight VS Skeleton Sea
"Fidena?" Iowa looked at the person who came in surprise.
"You idiots, you left without waiting for me! I've been hiding in this crappy place for a long time and only came here after hearing the noise!" Fidna complained as she drew out the holy sword.
As the holy sword was pulled out, the wound on the dark elf's chest healed instantly, and the surrounding black mist evaporated like water drops on a branding iron.
"It looks like an evil spirit-like monster. Fidna's holy sword is a perfect match for it." Aisina said with a smile.
"Since we are facing each other, we might as well get rid of the guy over there." Isidor said, pointing at the monsters rushing over from all directions.
These monsters were mainly skeletons, but there were also zombies and other creatures whose names could not be called. All of them were surrounded by black energy, and none of them were alive. Although their combat power might not be as strong as the monsters that Isidor had defeated before, he subconsciously felt a little disgusted when he thought about fighting such things.
"Undead? That's exactly what I want! Let my holy light purify you!" Fidna laughed a few times, and the holy light condensed on her body and holy sword. Then she swung the sword and rushed towards the sea of skeletons in front of her.
The black gas on the skeletons would evaporate quickly once it touched Fidna, causing almost no damage. Without the protection of the black gas, the skeletons would fall apart without any attack. However, Fidna herself would also be injured by the holy light, so she could not be said to be unscathed.
