Knight and Wand

Chapter 375 Demon
Leon prepared himself as quickly as possible, stayed in the magic circle, and waited patiently for the souls of the dead to be attracted and gathered.

Not long after, the people standing outside heard a burst of fierce gunfire coming from the dark passage of the base.

The Crusader Knights and the Cult Soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at the tunnel.

Leon looked over there, and his magic sensed the knight team fighting and retreating there.

He was not surprised that Canis and the others could find the way back in the cursed realm. After all, the Neti-branded heroes were also undead. In their eyes, this bait that simulated the souls of the living was probably as conspicuous as a lighthouse beacon.

Whether the holy war knights connected with their own magic power or used spell bait to lure the undead, they could all join up with themselves in the spirit-like field.

As the knights retreated from the tunnel and continued shooting into the darkness, the two cult soldiers who had led the way retreated outside the entrance in fear.

Everyone could see that in the tunnel illuminated by gunfire and searchlights, there was a group of crystal monsters rushing madly towards the outside world.

The knights who remained outside immediately stepped forward and joined their comrades in opening fire.

The roar of machine guns and rifle bullets smashed the crystal figures in front into pieces one by one. The knights blocked the exit of the base like a solid dam.

The two cult soldiers who escaped stumbled towards Colonel Sasha and reported what had just happened and the tragedy that had befallen the shelter.

Leon glanced at the crystal people who were about to be wiped out, saw through their nature, and quickly shouted an order: "I want a soul, capture an undead!"

The knights in the front row stopped firing for a moment. Canis put down his gun, rushed forward into the enemy group, swung his blade to break the limbs of a crystal monster, lifted it up, and withdrew from the front line.

"We encountered a wizard. Before he died, he suddenly exploded and the surrounding area became a cursed land. These crystal people are local residents who were killed by the wizard. The local soldiers who were sent before are also dead. I'm afraid no one survived." Canis threw the struggling crystal monster in his hand to the ground and reported the results of the exploration to Leon.

Leon nodded, stretched out his hand and grabbed, the magic pattern light under his feet emerged, and the hazy soul image was peeled off from the crystal body.

Without the soul, the crystal man instantly turned into powder.

Leon waved his hand and injected the souls of the dead into the spirit lamp on the ground.

However, the spiritual lamp guided by the soul only lit up a vague white light, without any green light.

Leon frowned silently.

He bent down and picked up the guide, his heart sinking.

The situation I was worried about just now finally happened.

There is no "earth vein" on this planet that resonates with this magical weapon.

Indeed, if there were spiritual veins, how could there be no magic elements in the environment of this world in the past?

Leon sighed and changed the position of the guide instrument up, down, left, right, front and back.

Sure enough, the hazy spiritual light did not respond to changes in brightness or darkness at all.

Putting down the lantern, he looked at the chaotic sky in the cursed realm again.

I am trapped in a spirit-like field.

……

The crystallized undead in the tunnel were quickly wiped out.

After the bait disappeared, no more ghosts would be attracted, but Leon's mood became heavier.

He sat in the hatch of the Falcon gunboat, looking at the soldiers on alert and thinking hard about countermeasures.

No more enemies appearing, no more undead monsters and demons laying ambushes, at least for now.

If this was a trap carefully set by an enemy, then the enemy obviously could not expect those crystal undead that could not even threaten the local soldiers to kill him. Those crystal undead were more like the derivative results of casting a spell. It seemed that the enemy's primary purpose might be to trap him.

I have to admit that the other party succeeded.

He had anticipated many kinds of threats, but he had never expected to be caught off guard and sealed off from action by a spiritual-like field.

Leon didn't know if the speed of time in this spiritual land would be slower than the outside world, just like in Omulos. If so, the longer he was trapped here, the less chance he would have to stop this disaster of plane intersection.

He was not worried about being trapped forever. The Neti spirits did not need to eat or drink, and the food and fresh water stored in the cabins of the two falcons and in the underground shelter behind them were definitely enough for himself, Olivia, Sasha and a dozen other cult soldiers to survive for a long time.

Not to mention finding a way out, if he really had to stay here until the two planes were completely merged, then the earth veins of the continent of Omros would make the wayfinder in his hand effective again.

The problem is that by then, the rest of the surviving humans in this world will be completely doomed.

Not to mention whether the thousands of adapted individuals in the Dawn Cult can withstand the high concentration of magic elements in the world of Omros.

At least hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from respiratory diseases will definitely be poisoned to death by the magic element.

Thinking of this, Leon rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

He would not take the responsibility for the extinction of humans in another dimension on himself.

But if we delay any further, the bigger problem is not just that the world of Kleinian will become a realm of death.

The real trouble is that he still doesn't know what the purpose of the spiritual demon who intends to merge the planes is.

Just to kill the creatures? Lion didn't think it was that simple, but no matter what the truth was, it was definitely not a good thing for the creatures on Omulos.

Colonel Sasha, who was comforting the special forces on the periphery, couldn't help but look at Leon who was sitting at the cabin door.

Several times she wanted to come over and ask, but she still resisted the urge, patiently pacing and looking, waiting for instructions.

If the other party had not repeatedly warned her that this space was out of control and chaos, she would have been unable to hold back and ordered the pilot to take off and find a way out.

But the other party came from a different time and space with magic, and was obviously much more professional than herself when facing this kind of spell-related crisis. As a soldier, she knew very well that she should not disturb professionals.

But to be honest, seeing that the other party promised to take her and others out but just sat there in silence for a long time, Sasha couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Not to mention the cult soldiers in front of her.

These special forces members were not professional soldiers two or three years ago. The reason why they have become the armed forces of the cult now is simply because their bodies have survived the torture of respiratory diseases.

Fortunately, the hundreds of knights from foreign time and space around her all looked calm and composed, which prevented the soldiers in front of her from wavering in their determination.

Suddenly, Sasha finally saw Mr. Leon, who brought the miracle, stand up from the edge of the cabin.

"Olivia, Canis. You bring fifty knights with me."

After Leon finished speaking, he turned to Sasha in Lorelit and said, "I will try to find a way out. Leave half of the warriors here. Remember not to leave them and act on your own. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to find you if you get separated."

Sasha nodded in a daze, watching him lead a group of armed knights into the gray wilderness.

Looking at their backs, the female officer swore that she didn't blink at all, but her consciousness didn't notice at all that the huge team of dozens of people disappeared from her sight without any cover.

She took two steps forward in shock and rubbed her eyes. Only then did she realize the meaning of the time and space confusion.
On the dead silent cursed plain.

Olivia followed beside him and looked up at Leon in confusion as he walked forward silently. She knew very well that the wayfinder had failed.

"Find a way out? Isn't it impossible to walk out of the cursed land?"

Faced with the girl's question, Leon had no choice but to nod honestly.

"That's right, but we can't just sit there and wait for death. I'm going to try another method, but this method may be too radical. I'm afraid of irritating the locals and causing accidents, so it's better to avoid them first."

"Radical? What's that method?" Olivia blinked.

Leon was silent for a moment, then he pulled out an empty black Neti card from his waist bag.

".Summon a demon."
