Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Time: Late night.

Location: Forbidden area of Gravekeeper Village

"This is the forbidden area of the Tomb Keeper clan, and there are quite a few special spirits. But they are all low-class little guys who can only rely on their numbers to cause trouble for intruders."

Raising his hand, he released his magic power and once again dispersed a large wave of incoming ghosts. The group of people continued to move deeper.

The scene in front of them was like something from a tomb robbery TV series. The narrow underground corridor was filled with strange mist. The spooky elements of the ghosts and the cemetery are indeed very scary.

Xia Yuan led the other three people in a front-and-back position, walking on this road paved with blue stone bricks.

Biersak saw such a violent intrusion. As he entered the scene, his eyelids twitched.

These special ghosts existed here thousands of years ago, and their intelligence has been worn away by the long years.

Although the individual strength of these ghosts is not strong, their numbers are. There are so many of them, these special spirits are all transformed from the creatures that died on this land.

The amount of souls accumulated over fifteen hundred years is like an ant colony, in such a narrow passage. It is very dangerous to face such a large number of ghosts.

Even Biersak, who is the gravekeeper of the village, brings special lanterns and potions used to drive away ghosts when he goes to the forbidden area every year to drive away these swarming ghosts. , to avoid a direct battle with them.

Not long ago, after Gray arrived, he led a few people into the forbidden area.

However, the situation in this forbidden area was not as peaceful as Biersak said when they first entered the tunnel.

He encountered a large group of ghosts, but before he could use the special lantern to disperse the ghosts, Xia Yuan had already released magic power to crush the ghosts.

Note that he was just crushing them with his own magic power.

His endless magic power and magic elements are extremely powerful.

Thousands of magic circuits are running at the same time, lighting up the stars.

He is walking directly in front, his blue magic eyes exuding crystal brilliance in the mist, and his precise control is terrifying.

The magic power is compressed within the prescribed range, and any ghost approaching him from the front will be directly crushed by the vortex released by the magic power.

The soul-binding magic eyes are gem-level magic eyes that have special attack effects on spirits.

No matter how many ghosts come, they can't cause effective harm to Xia Yuan. On the contrary, these spirits will lose their ability to resist the moment they are stared at, and they can only become lambs to be slaughtered. How many ghosts disappeared? The originally menacing ghosts began to flee desperately, attacking and defending aliens. Many ghosts were crushed because they had no time to escape, and turned into spirits and dispersed in this area.

"Okay, so scary……"

Seeing the group of ghosts being shattered by the whirlpool of magic, the youngest Gray pulled up her gray hood, grabbed the corners of her master's clothes with both hands, and huddled up behind the old gravekeeper.

She had always been in contact with ghosts as a tomb keeper. She had never seen this before. The scene in front of her frightened her greatly.

"It's okay, Gray. This gentleman controls his power very accurately and won't hurt us."

The old tombkeeper also put away the lantern and stretched out his big hand to touch Gray's head to express comfort.

He had not seen such a scene for so long, and he was no less shocked than Gray.

But he could also Understanding Xia Yuan's intention,

Youyou sighed and said to Gray:"There is no need for this forbidden place to continue to exist. If the ghosts hiding in it are not dealt with and allowed to escape, they will cause a big mess.. Solving it in one go will actually help us a lot."

"Is that so?……"

Upon hearing the master's words, Gray glanced weakly at Xia Yuan, who was sweeping up the front of the team.

I also have a better understanding of this big brother.

Gentle, strong?……

"Al, Al, what happened to this companion you found?! So strong! Even in our time, I have never seen such a violent magician! And with this amazing magical power, is he also a dragon? Such a terrifying magician still exists in this day and age!"

Yade in the cage was also noisy and yelled, which made Artoria next to him frown.

Since he met Artoria just now, Yade has been noisy.

Originally, Al

Tolia was still a little confused about this metal lifeform that suddenly called out her real name, because the sound and image had changed so much that she couldn't immediately recognize Yade as her adopted brother, Sir Kai.

De was anxious, and in order to prove his identity, he talked about the embarrassing things of Artoria's childhood in front of everyone, so he boasted about how Artoria made trouble in her father's manor when she was a child.

When she played the knight game with him, and later became Knight Girl and did those stupid things,

Gray found that Artoria had quickly snatched the cage containing Ad, and took it out, holding it firmly in her hand. Here.

Artoria said word by word:"Okay, Brother Kai, I already know it's you."

"I haven’t seen you for such a long time and you are still as cheerful as ever. If you don't want to die again, just shut your mouth right now, okay?"

Crack-- it seemed to be a sound of metal breaking, together with Yad's scream of crying and screaming.

"It hurts, it hurts!! Stop it Al, I'm about to be crushed by you. I don’t remember raising you to be such a strange and powerful woman! Merlin, yes! It must all be Merlin's fault!!"

"Gray, the little brother over there, and the old guy, hurry up and save me!! I'm really about to be crushed, don't just watch!!"

Hearing Ad's call for help, Biersak glanced at the angry King of Knights, shook his head silently, and chose to ignore it.

He would not interfere with the matter between King Arthur and Sir Kay.

I can't afford to offend him, so I'll take my leave. You You'd better ask for your blessings, Sir Kay.

"Be quiet, Sir Kay."

Artoria frowned, scolded Yad, and the hand holding it became a little stronger.

"Yad, will it be okay?"

Gray, who has the nicest temper and the softest heart, couldn't help but become worried when she heard Yade making such a painful sound.

Although Yade is usually very talkative and doesn't know how to speak according to the atmosphere, he often provokes There were a lot of troubles. But after getting along for a long time, Gray had already regarded it as a partner. Seeing how painful it was, Gray pulled Arturia's clothes and begged her to let Ade go.

At Gray's request, Artoria's heart suddenly softened. She loosened her grip on Yade and gave it back to Gray, saying in a gentle tone:"Brother Kai, if you can do it again next time. If you dare to bring up such a thing, I won't be merciful anymore."

"No, no, no, I don’t dare anymore. I promise I won’t talk about the time you stole your father’s sword and went out to play when you were a child, Al."

Yade, who was lucky enough to escape, hurriedly promised

"Kai, brother!!"

Artoria was not going to let it go this time. She took Yade from Gray again and repaired it severely.

As for the following people, they gradually became very harmonious, probably, probably……

"Well, isn’t that a great way to get along? With an interesting character like Kai acting as a moderator, I believe Arturia and Gray can communicate better."

Xia Yuan looked at the people behind him who were gradually getting into a ball. He smiled and expressed his emotion, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

Without interrupting the communication between the two girls with the same appearance, Biersak quickly accelerated his pace and followed. Next to Xia Yuan, they were careful to keep a safe distance. If they got too close , they would be crushed by the powerful magic power.

"What an interesting place."

After walking for about thirty minutes, Xia Yuan glanced around at the unchanging blue stone tunnel, and couldn't help but start to think about the strangeness of this place.

It looked like he was moving forward, but was he actually circling?

"Like a snake holding its tail, the head and tail echo each other, maintaining a special cycle pattern."

Then Xia Yuan glanced at Biersak and asked him:"When you came and went, would the scenery and structure here remain like this?"

"What do you mean?"

"The changes around it are not only the texture of the blue stone slabs, but also the degree of weathering that remains unchanged and strange."

"No, I feel strange too. In fact, when I entered the forbidden area this time, I suddenly had a strange feeling."

Bersak shook his head and said:"According to the custom of the tomb keeper, I will enter and leave the forbidden area once a year. Although the road to the forbidden area is long, judging from the time, we still need to walk for about half a quarter of an hour."

"But the feeling of entering this time is indeed very strange, and I also have the illusion of spinning in circles. But this is a one-way street, so you will never get lost."

"Really? Sure enough, so are you……"

Running his pair of pale blue eyes to accurately capture everything in the surrounding scenery, Xia Yuan nodded silently, and then gave an answer to Biersak's doubts.

"do you know? We have walked fifteen kilometers, and the changes in the surrounding scenery have gone through five cycles. Almost every time we walk three kilometers, we will fall into a cycle."

"I tried to use magic to leave some marks on the wall to mark the route, but they all disappeared while walking. So this space has been tampered with, and the methods are very clever."

"Are you saying that someone entered the forbidden area before us and tampered with it?!"

Hearing this, Biersak was shocked.

"Yes, the enchantment here is very clever. It is by no means a simple ring-shaped closed-loop mode. It may be a special patchwork enchantment that cooperates with movement. Of course, the possibility of this being a boundless enchantment cannot be ruled out."

"However, that possibility is not high. After all, maintaining a large barrier requires extremely high magic power to support it. But the feeling this barrier gave me obviously didn’t reach the level required to form a big barrier."

"So what should we do? Let’s go back the way we came and leave here first, and then go out for a long-term plan?"

"No, that would be too troublesome, and we are now lost. Even if we go back the same way, it will be difficult to find the entrance again."

"But you don’t need to panic. Although the special barrier here is clever, it is not difficult to break it. There are probably two methods."

Xia Yuan explained while reaching out his hand to touch the wall.

"The first method is the most formal. Entrants need to have knowledge of the enchantment, analyze the details about the enchantment in this channel, look for the nodes of the enchantment, and then wait for opportunities to destroy it."

"However, there are certainly no outstanding magicians among us who are proficient in barrier magic, so we cannot use it. As for the second method……"

When Xia Yuan was talking, the palm of his hand that touched the wall began to exert force, and five fingers pressed on the nodes of the wall, causing cracks to suddenly appear on the wall of the entire tunnel, and the entire passage began to rapidly collapse as if the heaven and earth were collapsing. Shattered and collapsed.

He smiled and said:"There is always a way to directly crush it with magic power that far exceeds the barrier's endurance, or attack magic with enough power, or the destructive Noble Phantasm of a heroic spirit."

"Just like what I am doing now, use absolute power to break the rules of this enchantment!"

Boom——!

Bang——!!

Continuous explosions resounded throughout the tunnel. Walls, ceilings, and everywhere collapsed at a rapid speed.

The falling blue stone slabs and rubble were like a violent storm. Falling, the terrifying momentum seemed to bury them underground forever in the next moment.

"The tunnel collapsed?!"

Artoria looked at the collapsing tunnel with vigilance.

"Yad, what happened? How terrible."

Feeling the violently shaking tunnel and the cyan stone falling in front of her, Gray held his head and looked a little panicked.

"Ahhhhhh——!! I don’t know what happened. What stupid thing did you do?! If this continues, we will all be buried alive here!!"

"Nothing, I just chose the simplest cracking method"

"Are you crazy?! The barrier is indeed broken, but we haven’t left yet!!"Yade shouted anxiously

"Please calm down first, there is still a way."

After appeasing everyone who was panicking, Xia Yuan looked at Artoria and then said

"The special barrier that trapped us has been shattered by me, and it will take some time before it completely collapses. Now we just need to get out before the tunnel collapses."

"As for the specific direction, forward is the distance to the end point, and backward is the original route back to the starting point."

Hearing the ridiculous method proposed by Xia Yuan, Biersak was speechless and began to complain in his heart:"Is your so-called method too rough? Directly blowing up the forbidden area, how are we going to get out after entering?"

But before she had time to ask, Artoria no longer hesitated when the matter was over, directly picked up Gray beside her, and then rushed out quickly amidst her exclamations.

"Eh?!!"

Only Gray's exclamation was left.

Because Artoria's body was too petite, it would be difficult to hold a target as big as Bielsak, so he left Xia Yuan in charge.

Although this old man Being old and strong, it seemed that there would be no problem in running by himself, but in order to prevent him from falling behind halfway, Xia Yuan decided to leave with him on his back.

Boom - the tunnel was collapsing faster and faster. Xia Yuan saw this. Unable to resist his refusal, Xia Yuan directly carried him on his back, then strengthened his limbs to perform magic, and combined with his special physical fitness, he actually exploded with mobility that was not inferior to Artoria as a heroic spirit.

Xia Yuan glanced at Bell behind him. Sack, said lightly

"Hold on tight, I'm starting to speed up."

Then Xia Yuan stood firm and rushed out quickly.
