Chapter 838: You Are Far Worse than Assassination
Under night.
As time passed, a faint gray mist suddenly appeared around the two of them.
That is not fog formed by condensation of water vapor, but gray fog similar to that caused by smog. Most of the ingredients are sulfides, which are acid fog caused by excessive industrialization and are extremely harmful to the human body.
"This is no ordinary acid mist, it smells like magic."
Liu Xia turned her eyes and looked at the gray fog around her, feeling the abnormalities in it.
"It's probably some kind of barrier-like skill or treasure. There is indeed a legend that Jack the Ripper killed people in the fog. It should be her without a doubt."
Jack the Ripper was a murderer who appeared in London, England in the 19th century.
In the 19th century, Britain had just embarked on the high-speed train of industrialization. The entire country was vigorously pursuing industrialization, which caused the environment at that time to be greatly polluted and smog was rampant. Therefore, London at that time was also known as the "Smog City".
Jack the Ripper used the gray fog at that time to assassinate five prostitutes in succession.
His hunting operations were irrational, and he even sent letters to the news media to incite fear, which caused panic in London at the time. Until he disappeared, no trace of him was investigated by the English police.
It can be called the originator of murder. Even now, the name Jack the Ripper enjoys a high reputation around the world.
When Lucia was in Chaldea, she also met Jack the Ripper there, so she knew a lot of information about her.
"Ahem..."
Fiore was also alert to the fog around her, but her complexion suddenly changed slightly, she coughed several times, and her skin exposed to the air, and even her eyeballs, felt a stinging sensation.
"Oops! This acid mist is very corrosive. Even using enhanced magic is useless. We must leave here as soon as possible... By the way, where did we come in from?"
Acid mist is extremely corrosive, and even Fiore, who is excellent in magic, cannot defend against it. If it were an ordinary person, he might die from internal corrosion in less than a minute.
Lu Xia basically ignored the acid mist because she had magic robes and the body of the Ghost King had good defense.
Not only that? When Fiore tried to leave the acid fog? She suddenly froze,
Looking at the forks and alleys around me, I suddenly couldn't remember which way I came in before, and which way I should have left.
It seems that this magical fog also has the effect of interfering with thinking? It causes problems with people's sense of direction, causing them to be trapped in this magical fog.
"Bear!"
Liu Xia waved his hand, causing large swaths of flames to scatter from his hands, forming a flaming tornado that swept away the magic mist within a radius of twenty meters.
After the magic mist was swept away by the flames, Fiore immediately felt much better, and the tingling sensation on her body disappeared immediately. Even the sense of direction that had been taken away suddenly recovered.
"That direction! sabr? Let's get out of this magic fog quickly!"
After regaining her sense of direction, Fiore immediately recognized the surrounding roads and quickly asked Lucia.
"good."
Lucia agreed simply and immediately pushed Fiore towards the direction outside the magic mist.
As the flames opened the way, the two people quickly escaped from the scope of the magic mist and arrived at a clean and empty open space.
"Huh... I finally escaped. What a dangerous magic mist."
Fiore put down the handkerchief that was covering her mouth and nose. She looked at the motionless mass of magic mist behind her with some fear. She breathed a sigh of relief and then frowned.
"To launch an attack on us so suddenly, does Jack the Ripper have no intention of communicating at all?"
"I guess so."
Liu Xia let go of the hand holding the chair handle, and then held the He Dao materialized in her hand. At the same time, her eyes were slightly cold, and her eyes were fixed.
"In this way, it would be more appropriate to regard the other party as a third-party force separate from the black and red sides."
In the dark night.
A petite figure climbed over the high wall and eaves silently, its figure in mid-air was as flexible as a ghost, holding two single-edged knives in its hands, and quickly rushed towards Lucia and Fiore.
"Qiang!"
In an instant, as if she had predicted her arrival, Liu Xia suddenly turned around and swung out a knife, blocking the two knives with great accuracy.
"Ah?"
The petite figure was covered in a gray-black cloak and made a somewhat surprised sound.
"Why are you aware of our actions?"
It was a girl with short silver-white hair, bright green eyes, wearing a black tights under the cloak, and the hands holding the knife were tied with white bandages.
Her ability to conceal aura is quite strong, no worse than Liu Xia's. The level of aura blocking is probably at least A level, so she should be very confident in her ability to make a surprise attack. It is quite puzzling that Liu Xia can see through her actions.
"In terms of assassination methods, you are still far behind."
Liu Xia's eyes sharpened slightly, and then she used her right hand to block the two knives. At the same time, her left hand also released the spirit transformation of the other He Dao, and slashed it down with one sword.
"Well!"
The petite girl frowned and quickly backed away in the face of Liu Xia's counterattack.
The sharp sword energy vibrated in the air, chasing after her and shooting rapidly in her direction.
But her figure was quite flexible. She adjusted her posture in mid-air and dodged the sword energy without any fuss.
"Jack the Ripper, who is your current master?"
It was not until the end of this round of confrontation that Fiore came back to her senses and immediately spoke sternly to the girl opposite, "You should be our Black servant. If you are willing to join us now, you can punish your previous behavior." Let bygones be bygones——"
"I don't want it!"
The silver-haired girl clung to the wall in mid-air like a weightless feather. When she heard this, she coldly rejected Fiore's invitation in a cute voice.
"We just want to be with our mother, and we don't want to listen to anyone's orders!"
She made a face directly at Fiore, and then without stopping at all, she retreated like a bat, and her figure disappeared directly into the magic mist behind.
When Fiore saw this, she couldn't help showing a troubled expression.
"Archr, can you hear me? Can you see Assass now? Can you snipe her?"
She quickly recited words and asked Chiron.
"I'm sorry, Master... I have some trouble here too!"
Chiron's voice was intermittent, and he seemed to be drawing magic power from her through the magic circuit connected between the two.
"I met the sabr on the red side, and now I'm in a tough fight. I can't snipe the assass... Be careful over there!"
