The transparent figure stopped talking and simply chanted the spell.
Immediately, the moonlight that was originally burning fiercely suddenly stagnated.
crackle.
In the whistling night wind, the leaves that were originally trembling in the forest froze in mid-air.
Accompanied by an ominous freezing sound, transparent ice crystals slowly and silently precipitated from the leaves all over the sky, piling up more and more, and finally formed sharp ice cones under the leaves.
Under the influence of gravity, the heavy ice leaf began to sway slightly in the wind, and its weak connection with the branch gradually began to creak.
Finally, like releasing a bowstring, countless icicles made of leaves left the branches.
Their speed became faster and faster under the influence of gravity, and finally they rushed towards the Hell Knights like lances.
The Hell Knights were already encircling the remaining druids, and were shocked when they heard the news.
The first wave of arrows had already caused them enough damage, and they could no longer withstand further harm.
In desperation, they were forced to abandon the captives who were within reach and raised their Moonlight Swords towards the sky.
Overload shooting, second round.
The pure moonlight shone again, and under the clear moonlight, the dense icicles even shone with a cold light.
Then the Hell Knights almost cried out in horror.
The moonlight easily ignited the forest again, and the upper half of the forest was almost completely evaporated under the bombardment of the moonlight sword.
However, the ice cone underwent a miraculous change at this moment.
Some ice cones burned fiercely in the moonlight like the forest, while others easily passed through the blockade of the Moonlight Sword.
The beam of moonlight marched forward into the sky, but at least half of the ice cones went in the opposite direction of the moonlight, as if they did not exist in this world at all.
As the icicles fell rapidly, all the surviving druids struggled to stand up, grabbed the bodies of their companions, and then sank into the shadows with their companions.
……Why?
The Hell Knights didn't even think about the time this scene took!
Most of them had previously experienced that strange silence, but that silence had disappeared at some point.
Bishop Tyr, realizing this, did not hesitate and immediately shouted, "Return the truth! Let's retreat!!!"
They simply can't afford to gamble.
Hearing the order, the Hell Knights pulled their mounts and ran towards the nearest priests. Finally, all the Hell Knights disappeared amid the chanting of incantations and fled back to Elturgard.
In an instant, the forest that was just crowded with people became empty.
The first batch of ice cones that fell from the sky sank into the earth unimpeded, and the strong wind and noise they caused disappeared along with them.
They are nothing but illusions.
However, the second batch of ice cones penetrated deeply into the ground, raising countless sand and dust.
Among the remaining ice cones, the first batch were indeed illusions, while the second batch actually had entities.
“…How cautious.”
The instigator of all this looked at his own results and couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
The intelligence they obtained was still far from enough.
Elturgard was like an iron barrel, and any in-depth intelligence was completely impossible to obtain. As a result, they were completely unprepared for such a mysterious magical weapon.
They never expected that the magic sword would cause such great damage to them and their arrangements! Otherwise, most of the Hell Knights would have turned into a hornet's nest!
At this moment, she felt a slight itch on her face for some reason.
She impatiently stretched out her hand and waved it across her face, but instead pinched a bunch of petals.
The impatience in his heart instantly turned into astonishment.
It was a gorgeous black tulip.
I saw black tulips all over the mountains slowly descending from the clouds in the sky, and the dark and fragrant rain of flowers instantly occupied the entire sky.
The next second, the tulip in her hand suddenly exploded, and the rich fragrance instantly filled the wizard's nostrils.
The overly strong fragrance became extremely powerful and pungent at this moment, causing her stomach to cramp and even her lungs to vomit. She felt as if her whole body was burning in the fragrance of the flowers.
...a rain of black tulips.
The Druid's Nine Rings Magic.
The only good news was that Fenwei didn't know her exact location either, and the endless rain of tulips was just her indiscriminate bombardment.
As she felt violently nauseous, the lifelike forest below finally began to collapse.
********************************
"...a rain of black tulips."
This spell is special in that it only works against evil creatures.
Therefore, for Emiya and his group, this rain of flowers became the best cover for their actions.
However, what is more worthy of attention is what casting this spell itself represents.
"Fenwei." Emilia couldn't help but say, "You've broken through to the ninth ring. That's amazing."
This also meant that she could officially stand alongside the most prestigious archdruids. The Sharptooth Forest Circle might be new, but it was by no means weak.
He remembered it clearly. A few months ago, Fenwei was only an eighth-ring druid.
Even if there is only one ring between them, there is a world of difference.
The simplest difference: a ninth-ringed archdruid will gradually gain a lifespan ten times longer, or in other words, will gradually begin to age at one-tenth the speed of an ordinary person.
In other words, a fifty-year-old human druid with thirty years left to live would live an extra two hundred and seventy years.
And Fenwe was only a half-elf at the end of adulthood, so her life span would be extended by at least seven hundred years.
"Hmph... cough." The Archdruid almost couldn't suppress his stern expression upon hearing this, but he immediately replied solemnly, "I served as the Archdruid, stabilized the forest, destroyed an entire army of burrowing worms, and wiped out the demons. After doing all this, breaking through this most important threshold is only natural."
Then, she said angrily, "And so what? I was still fooled for the whole day."
An enemy used illusion to recreate a large new forest around the Sharptooth Forest, and she was completely unaware of it.
At this moment, the excited Yin suddenly stopped and said, "...Stop."
Before Emiya could ask, everyone saw the changes in the forest.
Previously, the pseudo-forest that blocked out the sun had been turned upside down by the moonlight, and now, the last remaining part of the forest was slowly melting in the moonlight.
The remnants of the forest were slowly falling to the ground like raindrops, enveloped in the moonlight.
The moonlight dissipated, revealing a strange substance like black sand.
The forest disappeared, revealing the original green fields.
Green grass, fallen leaves, bushes, and forests are nothing but shadows created by this black substance and illusion.
However, silver is not referring to this substance.
Yin looked up at the sky and said, "She hasn't left yet."
Forty-six Fifty Percent Truth (Part 3)
"She hasn't left yet."
Although it was still morning and the sun was bright, Emilia felt cold all over.
The shadow matter that had been impacted by the moonlight still remained in the sand, while the shadow matter that had not been affected had already silently risen into the air again.
They floated in the air, then silently burst into dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, and then disappeared in the light curtain.
Almost all the mages present had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
"...Did you see them?"
Then the same question was asked.
All the mages present were above the sixth ring, and they all possessed one of the most powerful sixth-ring spells: True Seeing.
This spell should be the nemesis of illusion. Most common illusion effects cannot escape the spell of true seeing.
That's how it should be.
But now, the mass of matter disappeared in front of them, and they saw nothing!
This substance disappears in the sunlight? The mage can't always consider things from the most optimistic perspective.
"—Scatter! Scatter!"
No matter what they will encounter next, one thing will not change - don't gather together like headless chickens and don't form too dense a formation.
The Hell Knights obviously had rich experience in dealing with this situation. Several paladins in the team immediately rode their horses and dispersed to form several small teams.
They may not trust Yin's judgment that much, but that doesn't mean they can be careless.
Asur, the leader of the Hell Knights, wordlessly drew out his Holy Avenger, and an invisible holy force field covered everyone present.
Yet, despite being fully armed and on the alert, the secluded wilderness did not respond to their nervousness. The wind blew through the wilderness, as if they were simply battling wits and courage against the air.
"...What did you see?"
At this moment, Sig admitted his weakness, which was rare for him: "...I can't feel anything. If that mage was dozens of meters in the air, I wouldn't be able to detect him. He's too far away!"
And the same goes for Emilia.
He really couldn't see anything.
"I can't actually see it either, but I already understand what she did," Yin replied. "In short, that shadow substance itself is very special—it has a strange property that naturally interferes with the outside world. As long as you understand it well enough, then you only need to slightly manipulate it, and it will maintain its properties unchanged, no longer requiring magic to maintain it."
"Similar to the creative conjuration school?"
"Ah, you could say that. Or perhaps you could say this substance is the ultimate form of shadow illusion: it can bring a certain amount of reality. And that wizard's illusion utilizes this substance to assist, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood."
The Hell Knight mage said, "However, many illusion techniques use half-truths to deceive people."
"That's true, but those illusions are completely dependent on magic. And the changes brought about by the material are permanent or immediate. Therefore, dispel magic is ineffective on the illusions produced by such material."
At this point, she squatted down, oblivious to the surroundings, and poked at the sand on the ground, which had lost its magical properties due to the moonlight. "...But why do moonfire weapons have such a miraculous effect on it?"
Elastrid hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if this shadow substance has wonderful properties, it would be extremely difficult to accurately control it remotely. I suspect the caster will need some kind of assistance."
For example, Shar's divine power.
Now the Church of Shar has declined, and its scope of activities has drastically reduced. However, under such circumstances, the favor of a god will be concentrated on the few remaining people.
At this point in time, the illusionist wizard who came to the material plane to lead the charge was most likely one of Shar's chosen ones.
"...Sha'er's divine power."
This is also the reason why the Moonlight Sword can cause huge damage to this forest.
Shar's greatest enemy will always be Selûne, the former goddess of light and now the moon goddess.
While Emiya was still pondering a countermeasure, the Hell Knights' mages weren't sitting around doing nothing either. The biggest difference between them and their colleagues was that they were truly Hell Knights, often followers of the Church of the Three Pillars of Justice. Therefore, they were far less bookish. While casting spells above them, planning to use the force field wall as cover, they shouted, "There's no time for research on the battlefield! We can get back to it after we defeat that mage!"
Just as Emilia was about to answer, he discovered that his vision was already blocked by flames that blocked out the sky.
Almost at the same moment, more than ten red meteors appeared out of thin air above everyone's heads. Before the force field wall was completed, they had already hit the ground with lightning speed.
Most mages didn't even have time to think and subconsciously activated the trigger spell on their bodies.
Some mages vanished on the spot, while some, including those from Emia, were tightly wrapped in elastic spheres. The bravest of them, convinced that the meteors were an illusion, forcibly suppressed the urge to cast a spell.
Eventually, the meteors sank into the ground and disappeared, but the triggering technique had been completely consumed.
The mages were almost silent.
Even with the help of the True Knowledge Technique, they were unable to distinguish the true from the false in time.
The enemy only needs to use one illusion after another to wear them down until their magic power is exhausted.
What was even more terrifying was that while everyone was still thinking about countermeasures, a scorching storm suddenly blew across Emilia's face, but there was no trace of it in the sky.
Emiya shuddered.
The next second, a violent explosion and flames burst out on the ground. Nearly a quarter of the Hell Knights fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.
Elastrid whispered, "She can use illusion to create a false meteor burst, and of course she can also use illusion to cover up the meteor burst."
