Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 490 The brave men chasing darkness
It has to be faster.

The premonition in Rachel's heart was getting worse and worse, but she was a magician after all. Even if she had the special ability to use various weapons at will, her physical strength could not be compared with a real warrior profession.

Noct, who opened the way first, was already far away from her, and if Jing hadn't kept up with her pace, he might have caught up long ago.

"Ahem... In the end, I am the one who is holding us back."

My physical strength was almost at its limit, but I still didn't see anything that looked like a target.Rachel was starting to get anxious, but it wasn't going to help at all.

"Leilei, do you want to take a rest?"

Jing was very worried about her friend's condition, so she also slowed down her speed, but Rachel just shook her head, she didn't want to waste time for her own sake.

"Huh, I really can't compare with you...A Jing, you should catch up first."

But Jing didn't do that. She supported the panting blonde girl and tried to let the eldest lady, who was only a magician but always acted tougher than a warrior, take a rest.And Rachel was indeed exhausted. She had been running almost non-stop for a day and a night, and she had to fight the shadow's followers at night.

"Ajing, although I can see images that look like the future, that doesn't necessarily happen..."

Rachel, who had always had some doubts, didn't completely believe what she saw in her dream, but she didn't know why she was sure that the image she saw in her dream was just a "possibility".As long as I do something myself, that possibility may disappear completely.

"What I saw was a man who killed the family members who protected the world, but we didn't catch up."

"Human? Are they outsiders like us?"

"Maybe, but I don't know the reason why he did it."

Although she didn't know if what she saw in her dream would really happen, Rachel still told her friend the details.This is their only chance to reverse this possibility, because they need to get a way to help Luvina from that dependent.

And the person who wants to kill the Familiar of Light is their enemy.

"No matter what, we have to stop him."

"I understand."

Jing nodded, she believed that Rachel would not lie, and that the so-called precognitive dream might also be some kind of ability of hers.If this is the case, then he really needs to stop the murderer who wants to kill the Dragon Familiar as soon as possible.

If it fails, there will be no way to help Luvina overcome the difficulty.

"I will catch up with you as soon as possible, so just leave me alone..."

Rachel, who was exhausted, could no longer stand up. No matter how high her talent and level were, the magician's physical ability was not endless.

"...Well, I'll catch up."

Jing decisively continued running, while Rachel took out the few catalysts she had left.Although her physical strength is low, she still has a lot of magic power. Even if she is attacked by the shadow's followers, she can still fight against them.

And Nocott, who had been rushing to the front, finally felt something abnormal.

"Why are the light elements here so rare?"

It was obviously still daytime, and the Shadow Retinue was still dormant, but Noct felt that the power of light in front seemed to be missing in a large area.The Beloved of Light that rules the world cannot be defeated in the daytime, so what is the reason for such a situation?

"Wow, here..."

After climbing over a slope, an incomprehensible scene appeared in front of Noct's eyes.

A thick, swamp-like darkness completely covered a place with the outline of a town.The surrounding light power is constantly being swallowed by this darkness.It's obviously still daytime, but here it feels like we're in the dark night.

"Guys, I should have found the target location... It feels very strange here. Please come here for support as soon as possible."

The feeling here made him very uncomfortable, so it was probably where the familiar called the Wise Dragon, as Rachel mentioned, was.But this scene... I'm afraid Xianlong is already fighting someone.

"Understood. I'll be there in about 10 minutes." 』

Jing, who was closest to him, gave a reply, and Nocott felt relieved and started to approach the darkness.He felt very uncomfortable here, and the energy in his body was involuntarily dissipating outwards and flowing into the darkness.

Taking out the sword from his waist, Noct recited a spell, swung his sword and released a ball of flame towards the darkness.Magic swordsman is a very flexible and versatile profession. Although it takes more effort to balance martial arts and magic to the same level, Noct himself is a hard worker.

However, his attack had no great effect in the face of this darkness. The fireball was extinguished the moment it fell into the darkness, leaving no trace.

"Well... I really don't want to get close."

But he saw that the thick darkness here seemed to be flowing somewhere. If there wasn't a low-lying pothole somewhere, such a strange dark swamp would not have such a flow-like state.

Why is there a hole here?
Noct stepped into the darkness, but to his surprise, the darkness did not suddenly erupt and engulf him as he expected, but instead calmly absorbed the surrounding energy.Although the energy in his body is losing bit by bit, this is actually not a big problem.

Was it the spawn of the Shadow that created this darkness?No, those descendants have been suppressed by the power of light and can only appear at night. The descendants of light who protect this world are quite powerful, and the descendants of shadow cannot fight with them at all.

"This is...the stairs?"

Cautiously approaching the end of the slowly flowing darkness, Noct saw a staircase going down.Although he couldn't see what was underneath at all, he felt the power of light and the breath of the dragon that were constantly spurting out here.

The breath of a dragon?Realizing that he could no longer hesitate, Noct immediately stepped off the stairs and walked quickly down.The further down he went, the stronger the power of light and the aura of the dragon became, but he also began to notice that his body seemed to be trembling uncontrollably due to some kind of fear.

Roar--

What came from below was not an angry roar, but a painful whine.Realizing that the situation had changed, Norcott gave up caution and jumped directly forward.

"Repent for your desecration of what she left behind."

But in the Palace of Light at the bottom of the stairs, what caught his eye was the corpse of a white flying dragon whose body was riddled with holes, twisted and broken.

There is also a human who is piercing the head of the flying dragon with the black sword in his hand.
