The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Chapter 29 The Stalker's Choice

Zag the Khajiit mage stepped forward to catch up with Angmond.

The magic equipment provided by Linde can greatly enhance the concealment of the wearer. The darkness seems to be a friend. He did not use magic lighting, and hid in the colorless void. No one could detect it except for the water droplets under his feet. his footprints.

Angmond's words came back from the front, he seemed to have rounded a certain corner, and his voice became weaker.

Zag quickened his pace slightly, and just as he was crossing a small piece of slippery ice, he suddenly heard the thin ice beside him shatter, making a strange cracking sound. The tiger mage suddenly turned his head to look, but he didn't see anything, it was pitch black there.

Click.

It was the sound of ice cracking again. It is a strange footstep.

The structure of the Khajiit's feet allowed them to apply pressure more evenly on the ground, so the ice that Zag stepped on was intact. But that thing in the dark has no such ability.

Crack, click... The sound of footsteps crossed Zag and led to the front.

Who is that? no, what is it?

Zag wanted to ask, but remained silent for the time being.

He squatted down gently, and moved forward in a more stealthy posture. Although I really don't want to admit it, Master Zag, who was born in the tiger caravan, has learned many thieves' skills since he was a child. These things are like bones. Once they grow well, they can't fall off by themselves. get pain.

Zag had been taught by a Breton thief traveling with a caravan that Shadow was a jealous father.

In a father's world, there is only one child who can be favored, and this father must be on guard at all times, because he does not want successful children to challenge his authority.

In this shadow, there are two stalkers, maybe more, Zag can only hope that he is the most favored child for the time being.

After crossing the ice surface, the rattling sound stopped, and a deep wind blew from the corridor in front of it. It was the sea breeze blowing in from the cracks in the rock strata, passing through the deep cave system of the Bone Dungeon, contaminated with the stench of staleness and decay.

Zag gently pulled down the hood, let the long beard on his face stretch out, and carefully felt the shape of the wind. Where the stalker passed by, the airflow would be more disordered and weak.

From this, he was sure that the man was still ahead of him. At the intersection, the mark Angmond left on the wall was very conspicuous, emitting a slight magical aura. Zag opened his eyes wide. The tiger man has dark vision. He hoped to use this little light to see the form of another stalker clearly. .

But he saw nothing.

Why? Is it invisibility?

Angmond's voice was further away.

Passing through a rotting wooden door at the end of the passage led to a flooded cellar, where several ghouls roamed the edge of a pond, thinly illuminated by the necrotic flames in their eyes and the shimmering fungus on the walls. Zag stood overlooking from a high place, staring at the shimmering ripples on the water surface of the pond. He saw that the stalker walked across the water surface, and the waves spread in circles.

The ghouls were unaware of the stalker, but when the center of the water wave passed them, these ancient dry corpses fell down like straws hit by a scythe, and shattered into several pieces. There was no suspicious sound during the whole process, as if these ghouls had always been broken. But Zag knew that they were cut into pieces by the stalker.

The moment the attack happened, a group of low shadows above the water surface flashed and disappeared. Vigorous strikes tore through the shield of invisibility, and Zag finally caught a glimpse of the strange stalker.

He, or rather it, was a mass of pitch-black cloaks lying flat against the ground, with a figure as shriveled as a beetle.

Zag had never heard of such a creature.

It moves on. When Zag quietly stepped onto the water-soaked floor, the stalker stopped suddenly. Slowly turned around and looked back, his eyes were as green as phosphorus.

Zag's hair exploded.

But the creature only glanced suspiciously for a moment, then turned back again.

Onmond called from the front: "Master Zag?"

Zag didn't speak, but the creature made a faint voice: "I... am..."

Angmond responded happily: "Come and see, the scenery here is really good!"

"Wait... I..." The creature stepped up a little bit, and its body was once again shrouded in the barrier of invisibility.

Zag was so flustered that he wanted to scream for Onmond to run, but he calmed down.

what to do Can't expose yourself. Gotta go back and get some support, mage Linde and mage Mayo can take care of this creature.

Zag turned his head and ran towards the way he came. The moment he stepped forward, Angmond's screams came from behind him.

He didn't look back, and continued to run, but the road became long and complicated for some reason, with endless forks, and the original road signs had disappeared. Zag stopped slowly, released the insight technique, the magic wave radiated outwards, and returned to the spell structure after being reflected by the cave wall. Gradually, a cloud of light and mist floated up, depicting the surrounding environment structure, with Zag as the At the origin, a transportation network as complex as the brain groove is presented.

This is no longer the Bone Dungeon. Unknowingly, he fell into a certain illusion trap.

Zag stayed where he was, thinking hard.

There was a scream from the left aisle, the voice of Brearina Mayor.

When Zag arrived in a hurry, he found Brelina who was seriously injured and fell to the ground. A magical aura floated above her head, dispelling the darkness.

"Who's there?" The dark elf mage was casting a healing spell on himself. He seemed to hear something, and suddenly raised his head. The original pair of scarlet eyes were now only two dark holes. She had her eyes gouged out, "Come out, monster!"

Zag stood outside the range of the lighting. The dark elf wasn't supposed to hear him, so what did she hear?

The darkness would not answer, and Briarina asked expectantly, "Mage Linde? Onmond? Zag? Is it you?"

no answer. He dared not answer.

Brelina's condition is very bad, the air is full of astringent blood smell, she is losing blood continuously, and her spirit is on the verge of collapse. If you delay any longer, you will surely die.

The dark elf woman began to wail, tears welling from her eyes, and Zag looked away.

At the same time, a sharp and terrifying sound of metal tearing sounded, the magic light source was instantly extinguished, and Brelina's head fell to the ground.

Zag was trembling. He could have taken advantage of the creature's attack when it attacked.

Darkness protected him again, and the jealous father seemed to take a special liking to Zag, who always liked cowards.

Footsteps came from the passage in the southeast corner, and a young mage arrived holding a magic light source. He seemed to be stunned when he saw Brelina's body.

It was none other than Linde who rushed over.

"Is not likely to……"

Zag's eyes widened.

That dangerous creature hasn't left yet!

what to do? what to do!

If Master Linde is protected, Zag will definitely die, and Linde may not survive. If he stands by and does nothing, at least one person will be able to escape. Zag can inform the Academy of the disaster in the Bone Dungeon and never set foot here again, or flee far away...

The darkness crept silently, like the deep sea at night, with terrifying predators passing by, and those blind fish knew nothing of the danger.

Linde just crouched in front of Briarina's body, the magic ball of light illuminated a pair of sickle-like insect limbs that gradually rose behind him.

"Run!" Zag threw an ice pick to shatter the worm's limbs, then flew forward, hugged the creature tightly, and dragged it to the ground with his insignificant weight. His cowardice has caused two companions to die tragically. This time, Zag will sacrifice himself.

Linde turned around and watched the illusioned Zag wrestle with a mass of deformed algae, and suddenly broke into a hearty laugh.
