I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"squeak--!"

With a piercing sound, several tentacles covered with spikes like starfish protruded from the inside of the surgery.

In this way, a sea monster slowly appeared from the spell, writhing its disgusting body, covered in a foul-smelling liquid, as if it had just been born.

"........."

Li Xiang frowned all of a sudden, and directly stepped on the disgusting monster with the magic spell emerging from half of its body, the radiance of the scorching rune was reflected in his eyes.

"boom!"

The sound of high-temperature scorching air sounded, and the sea monster was swallowed by the scorching fire before it had time to struggle, and was quickly burned to ashes, leaving no scum left.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

And when he quickly burned the monster to nothing, Li Xiang turned his head and retched in the corner. Fortunately, he hadn't eaten anything these days, otherwise he would be miserable now.

In this regard, Tesla and Assassin lurking in the dark will not say anything, after all, this is just a simple physiological reaction.

A normal person would vomit if he smelled the rotten smell and saw the sea monster wrapped in disgusting slime.

"So... this is really a summoning array?"

Even if he hates magic, it doesn't mean that Tesla doesn't know anything about magic.

This technique is probably a summoning array, summoning monsters that do not belong to this era...

"Woo...that's right..."

After feeling that it was impossible to spit out anything from his empty stomach for a few days, Li Xiang suppressed his nausea and left him alone. At the same time, he glanced at the spell and said.

"And... the basic structure of this technique... we may have already seen it."

Lixiang's eyes drooped slightly, and the hidden magic formula in that alley could not help appearing in his mind.

The concealment technique and the summoning formation technique here are exactly the same in terms of magic framework... In other words, the one who set up the summoning formation here and the one who left the magic workshop over there are the same magician.

the same person……?

"..."

Lixiang narrowed his eyes, the magic eye activated, and the pupils surrounded by the runes shrank slightly, stained with a touch of dark purple, and the slowly running summoning formation also melted away.

"We need to speed up the exploration. It is impossible for this kind of summoning technique to exist only in this one. Not to mention the whole of Venice, how many are left in this city is already a problem... We must speed up the removal. .”

After finishing speaking, Lixiang left the alley with Tesla. There were more and more problems in Venice, but Lixiang still didn't feel that he had touched the really important key.

…………

……Who are you?

 …I strike the tune, I bend the trees, and your wrath must be appeased.

Chapter 26: Summoning Circles and Raids

"It's already the third..."

Lixiang looked solemnly at the summoning spell slowly running at the end of the alley in front of him, and used the magic eye to degrade it.

Although the magic eye can instantly eliminate this magic formula, it is impossible for Lixiang to dissolve all the magic formulas in Venice.

And now there are three summoning spells set up in this area alone, more than the area he and Tesla explored yesterday... This is not good news.

"Are all those monsters summoned by the spells of these magicians?"

Tesla said.

"Not necessarily, these monsters full of fantasy and legends are not entirely composed of magic power, they are [true bodies] with real flesh."

Lixiang shook his head, the disgusting substance was not formed by pure magic power.

"This is not an ordinary summoned monster, but a real monster from legend..."

Lixiang couldn't help but close his eyes slightly because of eye fatigue, he always felt that this kind of thing was not that simple.

In silence, Lixiang and the others quickly passed through the area where the summoning spell had been eliminated, crossed the mouth of the Venice Canal, and entered the new urban area.

"And then? What needs to be done? Completely wipe out these monsters?"

Already feeling the magic fluctuations generated by those monsters, Tesla's fingertips danced with white arcs.

"Although I don't know how many such summoning spells exist in the whole of Venice...but we can't ignore them."

Li Xiang said seriously.

"Boom!"

The thunder sounded in response to Lixiang's answer, and the scorching light flashed across Lixiang's face, smashing the quietly approaching monster into ashes.

"squeak--!"

A sharp cry sounded from the thick magic mist again. In the face of the thunder and lightning that made them innately fearful, no matter how simple-minded the monster was, it would also have a little fear.

But their workaround is just to hide in the alley and stretch out their spiked tentacles to attack Lixiang who walked into the alley.

"Small cleverness is useless in front of the thunder of technology!"

The unequivocal genius let out a loud shout, and the electric arc in his hand shot out like a sharp arrow.

The arc hit the monster's tentacles, making a "sizzling" electric shock sound, and at the same time the monster screamed, and then was electrocuted to death.

"Boom!"

An ear-splitting thunder fell from the sky again, bombarding the thick foggy alley in front of me. The wet ground and the waterway that replaced the path all became a chain that transmits this huge energy, completely surrounding the monsters in it.

Without even the slightest struggle, a large amount of water was evaporated together with those monsters during the process of conducting lightning.

Monsters that can be killed by simple physical means are even more helpless in the face of natural disasters like thunder. If they gather together, then only one bolt of lightning is enough to turn them all into ashes.

After quickly eliminating the sea monsters, artificial life forms, and puppets lurking in the dark, Li Xiang walked into the depths of the alley again, and as expected, discovered the summoning spell that could summon monsters again.

"This is already the fifth summoning spell in our urban area."

Li Xiang disassembled the summoning spells in front of him without hesitation, and then silently memorized the number of summoning spells discovered so far.

"Okay, let's continue to explore the next area."

The summoning formula in front of him collapsed in his "magic eye", and Lixiang turned around immediately. There was no extra abnormal magic power dissipating here, that is to say, there was no such spell that could summon monsters here.

…………

This is already the third day of his exploration of trying to explore the unknown area around him. Starting from the Venice Museum, he continued to explore the periphery, including the areas he passed by before. After the operation, continue to explore outside.

In the process of exploring unknown areas and eliminating summoning spells, Lixiang also gradually grasped some rules about the distribution of magic spells that summoned monsters.

Originally, he just thought that the summoning spells were all randomly distributed, but he also found that the distribution area of ​​the spell often still has a part of the magic power of the earth veins. Although it is impossible to complete such a big magic like Servant summoning, but for Such a small scale, but a large number of small summoning spells are enough to provide magic power.

In other words, the summoning spell here is distributed according to the remaining magic power of the current spirit vein.

...However, until now, Lixiang had to deny this seemingly reasonable explanation.

Because the magic formula that appeared in front of his eyes did not appear in the area full of magic power that he perceived, but was slowly running in a large area with a very weak magic power response.

Especially on one of Venice's main streets.

The runes flowed slowly in the eyes, and the dark purple magic eyes penetrated the thick fog. Compared with other small roads and even waterways in Venice, the roads here are much wider than other small roads and waterways in Venice. It is undoubtedly one of the few pedestrian streets in Venice.

"........."

It felt like my guess was overturned all of a sudden.

At first, I simply thought that there were summoning spells everywhere in Venice, although it was true—but after further exploration, I found that these magic spells are distributed according to the concentration of magic power around them—this is undoubtedly orthodox magic It is the standard practice of a master, and it is also the method of use that can maximize the effect of summoning spells.

But now it appears directly on the main street where the magic power is thin——

"Have you thought of anything?"

After a few days of getting along, the relationship between Tesla and Lixiang has really begun to get acquainted, and Genius gradually learned that this seemingly half-baked young man still likes him even though he always lacks in things. Complains, but still works hard.

"...I suddenly thought of 'that' [Jack the Ripper (Jack the Ripper)]."

Lixiang said that in his mind, the distribution of summoning spells in this urban area is as erratic as the serial killers in the Whitechapel area of ​​London in the eighteenth century.

Of course, he was just talking casually. After all, there is thick fog everywhere, and it is very difficult not to think of that mysterious serial murderer.

"Then what clues do you see, Mr. Detective?"

Tesla asked half-jokingly.

"Actually, it's nothing... It's just that I was surprised that I had been doing things step by step and then suddenly encountered something beyond common sense."

Lixiang squatted down, and the tip of his right finger touched the wet floor tiles, trying hard to feel whether there were traces of magic power running here, or if there were traces of magic power running before.

But no, the magic power here is very little, the concentration of magic mist is not high, and the magic power in the air can only keep the summoning formula running normally.

Because there is not enough magic power, the summoning spell cannot be activated, so there are no monsters here.

... not even the slightest disgusting smell.

How should I put it... It's as strange as a murderer who committed a very standard murder without leaving any traces, but then suddenly murdered in the street, not hesitating to expose himself.

There are no monsters here. After decomposing this summoning spell to prevent accidents, Li Xiang discovered three other summoning spells in the nearby area.

One of them is located in a hidden alley, but the magic power is still thin, and the second one is like the summoning technique that Lixiang saw before. It is hidden and not easy to be discovered, and it also has a good source of magic power.

The last one is still the same as here, located on a relatively conspicuous main street, and has no stable source of magic power.

Three different situations suddenly appeared in front of him, and Li Xiang's face gradually became serious.

That doesn't look like a good sign.

Having wiped out all the monsters of the summoning technique that was a source of sufficient magic power, Lixiang decomposed that magic technique.

"Crack--"

Suddenly, as Lixiang used the magic eye to decompose the summoning spell here, two chains connected with short blades flew out from the depths of the dense fog, and aimed directly at Lixiang who was standing there.

"boom!"

Before Li Xiang could react, the dagger that shone with dim light pierced the air and hit the flying dagger with precision.

"Boom-"

The sharp short blade was connected to the long chain and fell to the ground, and the surroundings suddenly fell into peace again.

But it was as silent as death.

"bass……!"

The sound of the dagger being unsheathed was so low that it was almost imperceptible, a thin figure suddenly appeared behind Lixiang, holding a short blade, and slashed at Lixiang's head exposed to the air.

"Humph!"

The dazzling electric arc exploded in the air in an instant, and the pitch-black figure also bore the brunt of it, and was blown away directly.

But it’s not over yet, or in other words, the current attack is just the beginning——

"Is it those Assassins?"

After the first attack failed, Li Xiang guessed who was coming, and the feeling of having his throat pierced unsuspectingly was not so easy to forget.

"Suck... breathe..."

The sense of crisis that threatened his life welled up in his heart, and Lixiang's breathing gradually became faster, and at the same time, he smelled a little strange fragrance——

fragrance?Where is the scent coming from here?

Li Xiang, who just had this idea in his heart, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and immediately realized something, the magic eye was activated, and the runes that cured the disease were immediately applied to Tesla and the cursed wrist lurking in the dark. Sang body.

Although I don't know how this poison will affect the Servant of the spirit body, it's better to prepare first——
