After Anastasia evacuated, Mero possessed Pallas's body again, and then following her thought, she appeared in front of Alice and Rafimes.

After Pallas appeared, Alice and Rafimes were also very frightened. However, contrary to expectations, Pallas only briefly healed Alice's body and used sleep magic to put her to sleep.

As for Rafimes, it was more miserable...

"What...what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to go to a good place."

Mero's "Book of Space" appeared in Pallas's hand, and immediately, Laphimes was pulled into Mero's "Book of Space". After taking Laphimes into it, Pallas

Then he left.

A few hours after that, Alice also woke up. Her body had basically recovered. After recovering, although she found that Rafimes was missing and searched for her, she was still there.

To no avail, so she could only pray that she would be okay. After that, she began to look for everyone's traces again.

On the other hand...

"Strange, what's going on?"

Selena was also separated from everyone by the fog released by Leanna. However, now that the fog has dissipated, she still feels like she has been spinning in circles.

"Everyone doesn't know what's going on, huh? Is there anyone?"

Selena heard a faint sound of footsteps from behind her. She quickly turned around, but a familiar figure appeared. After seeing this person, Selena felt much more at ease.

"Lu, it's you."

"Yes, it's me, are you okay?"

"Well, although we were separated from everyone because of the fog, luckily we didn't encounter any enemies. How about you?"

"It's a long story here. Let's take action together. It will be safer this way."

"Okay, I can really feel more at ease if you are here."

"Are you too dependent on me? Selena."

"Maybe a little, but you are the backbone of our team."

"I'm afraid of you."

Lu sighed helplessly, and set off to the front with Selena.

Just a few minutes later, Abe Xingchen from the Empire of the Rising Sun and Kurokawa Kaoyao from the Empire of the Rising Sun met by chance. After the meeting, the two gave each other a rough description of the situation.

"Really? Is Ikuto Koga dead?"

"In the end, he chose to die. He is truly worthy of Ikuto Koga. He is truly loyal to Lord Abe Akashi."

"It's just that even if he chose to die according to his own wishes in the end, even a man like him was defeated... This Lu Osiris is really

Not to be underestimated.”

"Both Izumi Munase Nanase and Kakyoin Kotone have some friendship with that Lu Osiris, so the possibility that they will become his enemy is not high, Lord Star."

"Yes, that Lu Osiris is really hateful, but he probably can only stop here. As long as the most feared Yagyu Inman in our team is here... they will be dead.

."

"That makes sense. If it was the second son of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Inman...it would be impossible for anyone who fell into his hands to escape. They would all die like being caught in an ant lion trap, without exception... Haha

hehe……"

Just a few minutes later, Alice felt a strange feeling. Her sense of direction seemed to be lost unconsciously, and...she had a strange premonition that she seemed to have fallen into some kind of horror.

into a trap.

"Sure enough, something is wrong. I was obviously walking in another direction, but now I am brought to this location."

Alice turned her head to a big tree nearby. Some time ago, she had already had a sense of disorientation, in order to judge whether she had taken a fork in the road or other possibilities.

, she used magic to make a mark on a tree nearby, and now... that mark appeared on this tree.

"It's as if someone was deliberately attracted here. That... that's it!"

Alice suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be moving in the grass not far ahead. She walked over and took a look, and found that it was Althea and Selena!

"Althea! Selena! Wake up! What's wrong with you?"

Alice immediately checked the conditions of the two of them. Although both of them had suffered a certain degree of damage and the injuries were very serious, what was difficult for her to understand was that the injuries on both of them were very strange.

"How is it possible? Judging from their injuries, they were all defeated by one blow. I really can't believe that magicians above S level like Althea and Selena can... Moreover, they are still without a single blow.

They were easily defeated despite being on guard, what happened to them?"

While Alice was puzzled, she suddenly sensed someone approaching here, although... there was still a certain distance.

"Um……"

Alice also decided to hide first and then wait and see what happens.

After about 10 seconds, a figure ran over in a hurry. This person was none other than Lu!

(dew!?)

After Lu Zai arrived here, he immediately found Althea and Selena lying on the ground. He also hurriedly checked the injuries on their bodies like Alice just now.

"What...what's going on? I was attacked just after I left for a while? And...judging from the injuries, I was defeated with one blow. In the end, it was...

Who does good things?"

"dew."

Alice walked out from the side at this time, and Lu looked very happy after seeing Alice.

"Alice!"

"Lu, Althea and Selena were..."

"I don't know who did it. I just sensed a very weird magic reaction, so I went to investigate a little bit, but when I came back, I saw the two of them... If we say,

I wish I hadn’t left just now…”

"Lu, cheer up, it's not your fault."

"But...if I hadn't left here and insisted on investigating, they might not have been attacked!"

"I also know that if Lu chooses to stay, it is indeed possible to prevent this situation from happening, but regretting it now will not help. We must find a way to save Althea and Selena first.

It’s what’s important.”

As Alice said this, she began to cast healing magic on Althea and Selena. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, and Alice's magic could completely save them both.

"It doesn't matter, right? The two of them..."

"Don't worry, my healing magic can save them both."

"Really? That's good..."

As she said that, Lu squatted down and watched Alice treat Althea and Selena. But at this time, Lu suddenly reached out her hand behind her back, and then took out a sharp knife.

dagger!

Then... Lu stabbed the dagger hard at Alice's defenseless back, just like she had... attacked Althea and Selena in the same way before!

However, Alice's ability to foresee crises is second only to Lu and Roland in the Northfield team, so... she sensed Lu's murderous intention at the critical moment, so... Lu's...

The sword only scratched Alice's left shoulder and did not damage her vitals.

"You...you have such a strong murderous intention. Sure enough...you are not Lu. Who are you!"

Alice used a time magic attack on Lu, and Lu easily evaded Alice's time magic. At the same time, his appearance continued to change.

"Ha... I didn't expect that a girl who looks so weak could detect my true face. I do underestimate you."

"Who are you?"

"Although it might be more comfortable to die without pain like the two of them, but no matter what, since you have seen my true face, you must die. See clearly, my true face..."
