Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 46 46. Hunting Vampires (3)

After a long day of waiting, seeing the sun gradually setting in the west, Emma's nerves began to tense.

Very rarely, beads of sweat began to ooze from her palms.Sweat soaked the shepherd's staff in his hand, making the part held by the hand appear a slightly darker color.

In order to hide this nervousness, she picked up the water bottle and wanted to drink some water, but it was empty, so she took a sip of air like a show.Anyway, all she needs is that swallowing action, not moisture.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Who needs your protection, take care of yourself! Dirty things."

As if she had been seen through her mind, Emma became a little annoyed.Angrily, she uttered evil words, and regretted a little after she finished speaking.She looked at Cass apologetically, but found that he didn't care, just picked another weed and began to suck the slightly sweet root.

"Should we continue to wait like this? Wait until it gets dark?"

Emma asked uneasily, the meadow had already begun to be shrouded in the setting sun, showing a rich golden yellow.The scene was beautiful and magnificent, but she had no intention of appreciating it at the moment.

"No...we should go in the direction of the village."

It would be too suspicious if they showed no concern for the approaching night.Cass stood up and looked around for a while, everything was as usual.This was originally an open land, and it is still a mystery how the girls disappeared out of thin air here.

Emma stood up leaning on the shepherd's staff, put her finger to her lips, and whistled.After receiving this command, the flock slowly gathered, as if the scattered clouds were blown by the wind and gathered into a group.

The two walked side by side like this, slowly moving towards the direction of the village.

"Could it be... This is a busy day?" Emma couldn't help asking.

"It's very possible! Originally, I didn't expect to succeed in one day... The rewards given to your academy are quite a lot, even if you keep sheep for a month, you can't complain!"

Who asked this... Emma started to get annoyed again.This guy is such a nuisance.

The sun gradually fell close to the horizon, and the color became bright red. The meadow, which was golden before, became blood-stained.

The moment when day and night intersect, the most special moment in the evening, has a special name-the moment of encountering magic.

In the era when magic has not ruled this continent, and the theory of ghosts and gods is still rampant, this is considered to be the only moment when humans can coexist with ghosts.The insurmountable boundary between the two worlds will blur or even disappear, and there will be a brief overlap.

Cass held weeds in his mouth, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and kicked stones on the grassland as he walked.The village can already be seen clearly, and the aroma of dishes stewed in the pot of the farm kitchen can be vaguely smelled.The sheep no longer needed to be prodded, so they quickened their pace and began to run towards their pens.

"I'm starving to death, I must remember to bring some dry food before going out tomorrow."

"Cass...something...isn't right."

Emma stopped in her tracks, she felt the mosu stirring.This out-of-the-box change is unusual.

It was such a short stamp that caused a distance of more than ten meters between her and Cass.

Something is approaching?No, it should be said that some magic technique is approaching.Emma felt it with her heart, and quickly locked the direction of the approaching sense of unease.

Up!

She raised her head suddenly, and the first thing she saw was the sky, and then the center of the sky, an unnatural circle, descending rapidly.

As the circle approached in an instant, it was already possible to clearly see... the grass field inside, and... Emma herself?
Is it a mirror?A round mirror!

"What did you say?"

Cass, who was thinking about what to eat at night, turned his head immediately when he heard Emma's words.

Just such a flashy moment, such a moment of loss of vigilance.

It was true at first, the village is already close at hand, what kind of changes can happen?
Cass was stunned by the sight in front of him.what did he seeEmma, ​​who was ten meters away... only half of her body remained.Immediately afterwards, the remaining half also disappeared before his eyes, as if she was swallowed by an invisible monster from top to bottom in an instant.

Without yelling, Cass cheered up, stamped his feet on the spot, left a deep footprint on the grass, and jumped directly to the place where Emma disappeared.

He began hacking through the air with the knife in his hand, as if certain that some invisible creature was still in place.

However, there was only the sound of the void being torn apart.There is no physical touch at all.

Disappeared?Not a hallucination?Really disappeared out of thin air?Bait...no...Emma...Emma who was talking to herself less than 1 minute ago...that's it...

Cass' forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were also wet with sweat. The hairs all over his body stood on end like needle pricks, bringing real stinging pain.

He frantically ran around, trying to find the clues left by Emma.

Yet there was nothing but a lingering smell.

It was the aroma from the incense box that Emma carried with her, citrus peel and patchouli, a simple and pleasant smell, vaguely marked the path she had walked, and then disappeared in the last place where she stood space.

A gust of evening wind blew by, and the sun completely disappeared into the sky.

As night fell, the last trace of the smell dissipated.

……

Emma opened her eyes suddenly.She should have been in a coma for a while just now, but the exact duration is unknown.

She immediately got up and looked around.This should be a room, a small room.

Ornate gilt-edged mirrors, crystal chandeliers...the typical pursuit of "luxurious and luxurious life" style.

It seems that it has been a long time since the decoration time, and the wall decoration has been mottled and faded, but it is still hard to hide its luxurious edge.

There are still many familiar decorations in front of you-porcelain, screens, tables and chairs from Huaguo, expensive artifacts that have traveled across the ocean and cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

Emma's first reaction was to take off the crystal bracelet on her arm, and decisively crush the largest crystal.This is naturally the same magic item as in the holy mountain search and rescue.It stands to reason that at the moment the magic crystal is destroyed, a semicircular protective shield should appear and send out a directional signal.

However nothing happened.It was as if an ordinary crystal had turned into powder.

Emma squatted down in disbelief, rubbed the residue on the ground, and then tried to pinch the other parts of the bracelet, but they didn't move. Those were ordinary materials and couldn't be broken easily with fingers.

By the way, the wand!Emma opened the spice box hanging on her waist, trying to take out the wand for self-defense.However, when the hollow silver cover is opened, only citrus peel and patchouli can be seen, and the magical space that should have appeared is also gone.

Wands, notes, those things that were originally hidden in the magical space, are no longer visible or touchable.

Have you been kidnapped by a vampire?No, vampires are man-made special creatures, "they cannot use magic" is the conclusion drawn by the demon hunters during the long-term hunting process.

At most, these monsters have their bodies strengthened to a certain extent, and some special individuals that have been discovered can grow huge wings similar to bats...

Taking a few deep breaths, Emma tried to calm down, at least for now, there seemed to be no imminent danger.

She stood up straight and began to chant spells. Although she didn't have a magic wand, it was no problem to summon a few ice flowers to be close to her. After all, this was the spell she was most familiar with.

However, the ice flower did not appear.

Is there no magic element in this space?impossible!Even where the magic essence is the thinnest, she can absorb magic power, not to mention that the body has plenty of it.

Emma felt it with her heart immediately, and the magic essence in the air was normal, even rich.But the magic just can't be cast... What's going on?
