Equipment Printing School Mage

The lines on it fit almost perfectly with the barrel, allowing the shell to rotate at high speed in the barrel under the push of pressure, and finally explode with an earth-shaking bang when it leaves the barrel.

Milim was only a few meters away from the muzzle of the gun.

Milim only had time to let out a short scream before the metal cone, shining with a strange moonlight, whizzed through her head.

The ghost dragon's body was by no means fragile. However, the dragon's body was as fragile as a piece of white paper at this moment.

Ordinary metal weapons cannot effectively harm creatures like ghosts. However, this metal shell is shining with a faint moonlight.

The shell easily tore through Milim's body. The moment the two hit each other, the wound that had penetrated Milim was already burning fiercely.

In a flash, the huge ghost dragon head turned into a bright silver torch, slowly rising and disappearing in the air.

Milim vanished momentarily. Just one strike.

However, the battle has just begun.

Emiya silently looked at the end of the shell's trajectory.

Even at this moment, his head was buzzing with the horrible noise caused by the shells.

The shells rushed through the severely eroded rocks with a roaring momentum, instantly smashing countless rocks.

Finally, it finally stopped and was deeply embedded in a stone wall. Finally, under Emilia's gaze, the stone wall slowly collapsed, completely burying the cannonball.

Behind the stone wall was a group of shadow spirits who were covering their ears and slowly getting up.

And Haverfontein is among them.

Emiya glanced at her left arm.

The withered left arm has now recovered almost completely, and the fingers can flex and extend again.

"...That's it." Emilia whispered.

He has gained a lot in the past few days.

"Weapons are divided into two."

One week emergency leave

BBQ, guys. I don't know what's going on. A few months ago, my advisor told me that a 20-page thesis would be enough. Today, a senior student came to help me and was shocked when he saw the number of pages. Then he told me that a master's thesis should start at 60 pages.

Then I would suddenly have to write a 40-page paper within a week, and all my free time would be squeezed out.

Sorry, I really can't update this week. I'm very sorry.

Fifty-eight Tides of the Undead (IV) Shuttle Through the Shadows

At first, Haverfont didn't know that Emilia and others had arrived outside their camp in such a short time.

The entrance to this hidden camp was extremely narrow, and since they were all thin elves, communication was quite difficult. As a camp, it should be quite hidden.

But even so, it was not until the roar of the dragon was heard and their fellow tribesmen rushed in from the entrance that they finally realized that the enemy had arrived at the door of their camp.

Regardless of Milim's reasoning—was she truly there to help them, or was she simply killing anyone she saw underground?—the result was certain: Milim had saved their lives, giving them valuable time to react.

However, they certainly had no intention of leaving the camp. In Faerûn, even a fool knew that a dragon's breath knew no friend or foe. A dragon's own kind might be immune to its breath, but its allies certainly weren't.

Now, this camp is actually safer.

——But they can't wait until everything is over before going out, because then it will be too late.

[…Gwei, what's your progress?] Haverfonte confirmed their team's position through the telepathic connection.

************************

"They've entered my field of vision—to be more precise, I can now see the aura of the dead all over the ground in the distance," Gwei complained in the telepathic connection. "It's even colder over there than the confinement prison in Ghost City."

[The battle is still going on?]

"It's not over yet, the dragon's breath is still surging." Gewei narrowed her eyes slightly, observing from the other end of the long corridor. "But I think it's almost over. How could a mortal from the material plane actually bathe in the negative energy dragon's breath?"

[Slowly approaching.] Halffont warned again, [If we rush forward and attract Milim, our resistance to negative energy won't be as effective.]

When Milim faced the Mystra faction's negative energy bombardment, facing the shadow spirits that could resist negative energy, the ghost dragon might have spewed out ice.

Their survival in the City of Ghosts was based on their existence and strength. Even for Shar, a tribe like theirs would not give up everything.

【clear. 】

Just as Gewei answered, a strange and terrifying shockwave erupted from afar without any warning.

The entire dungeon was almost shaking. Although they were far away at the other end of the corridor, they were still shaken a few times. The death fog that covered the sky and the sun seemed to be blown by a storm. In an instant, it roared from the other end of the corridor and swallowed them up.

Along with the blast came a strange smell that they had never smelled before.

However, for creatures like them who have been born in the Shadowless Underworld, there are too many strange things in the material plane, and a mere strange smell is nothing.

"……Pooh!"

Even though spitting is useless, and even though their clan has a certain resistance to this negative energy, the feeling of close contact with negative energy is extremely irritating.

Gwei cursed.

She still doesn't know what happened on the other end -

However, she was certain that the battle situation on the other side must have changed so drastically that they could no longer delay.

"Everyone follow me, Sirius. Use whatever magic you think is useful. I think the thing that collapsed the cave is pretty good!"

Gwei didn't say much, but simply took the bow in her hand. The whole team immediately changed their formation, forming a column and moving forward at high speed.

Before they had gone far, the shouting from the front became clearer.

But at the same time, the lighting spell cast by the Emiya team in front completely dissipated silently.

Gwei's eyes lit up. Haverfont had always been accustomed to using illusions to pre-emptively set the stage for the battlefield. Back in the Shadowfall, this illusionist actually preferred to use bright lights to harass the natives of the Shadowfall, blinding her own tribe as well. Consequently, their tribe wasn't particularly favored by Shar.

Now, on the material plane, Halffont is creating darkness in turn.

This is also the signal for the outbreak of fighting.

Gewei hesitated for a moment, waved her hand to signal to stop temporarily, then directly pulled the bow and put the arrow on the string.

The corridor wasn't very long, and her arrows could easily reach from one end to the other. However, not all priest spells had such a long range. This was why she had tried to close the distance earlier.

But since the war has already started, it is better to start supporting immediately than to spend time closing the distance.

They were all comrades who had worked together for decades. At this point, there was no need for them to even give orders, and the other shadow spirits had instantly entered combat mode.

The next second, a torrential downpour of arrows poured down into the narrow passage ahead! In such a narrow space, even with their eyes closed, the enemy would be in a state of panic.

Sure enough, after this wave of arrows, a few screams were heard from the front - but that was all.

Even the darkness that had just spread was somehow dispelled a little, revealing the figures of the red-haired wizard and several of his teammates.

——Shar, why is that red-haired wizard holding a two-handed sword like the heavily armored knight next to him?

Moreover, Gewei noticed the abnormality at a glance.

It would be more accurate to say that the darkness was dispelled by the sword in Emiya's hand rather than by Emiya's team.

An invisible force field was spreading from the sword, forcibly pushing the darkness aside and ensuring a clear view for Team Emia.

However, the fact that Team Emiya was able to invalidate Haverfont's spell was an extremely dangerous sign.

Halffont had been captured once before, but that time they were defeated by Moonfire of the Church of Selune. Now, by some strange coincidence, they had encountered their nemesis again. But this time, with the strength reversed, and with double teams inside and outside, could they possibly lose again?

Gewei quickly noticed a key point.

Team Emiya is somewhat disjointed.

The red-haired wizard, the moon elf and the heavy-armored can were heading towards the hole that had been opened, towards Haverfont.

The other two petite girls were noticeably slower. At that moment, a young girl with black hair and a long robe, clearly a non-combatant, was clutching her hair and screaming, a small piece of blue ribbon in her hand. Meanwhile, the silver-haired girl was focused on Haverfont.

[Sirius! Opportunity! Divide them!] Gwei's eyes lit up slightly, and she shouted, [Collapse that cave, and those two spoiled fools will be our prisoners!]

Priest Shar behind Gwei also reacted and immediately began chanting a spell, while all the remaining shadow spirits immediately drew their arrows.

At that moment, she noticed that the black-haired girl's senses seemed unusually sharp. As they stopped walking, she, still feeling sorry for herself, suddenly raised her head and pointed a finger at Gewei and her group. The silver-haired girl also turned her head in time.

Both sides launched attacks almost simultaneously.

A transparent, invisible square force field suddenly unfolded before Gwei and the others. Instantly, it contained more than half of their team. The shadow spirits at the front were still able to fire their arrows, but those in the back row weren't so lucky. Their arrows, just before they passed Gwei, collided with the transparent force field. Even with arrowheads and shafts twisted and distorted, they ultimately landed with a dull thud on the rock.

However, they still achieved decisive results.

Before the force field could completely seal them off, a Shar priest named Sirius had completed the spell.

The earthquake spell used to rescue Halffont roared again. The already shattered Candlekeep Crypt was not particularly stable. It might have been able to accommodate human traffic, but against the earthquake spell, the heavy rock was as fragile as a sheet of paper. Almost without warning, a mountain of rubble broke free from the mountain and rained down upon the corridor.

The earthquake spell was cast right in the middle of Team Emiya. The two girls, who had instinctively moved forward, were separated to the other side of the falling rock, completely separated from their teammates.

For a battle of this level, physical separation was not such a huge problem - Gewei had no doubt that if they did not take action immediately, the two girls would step into the space gate and reunite with their teammates in a few seconds.

The point is time.

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "—enter the underworld!"

Haverfont had given her some basic knowledge on spell combat.

The most useful point for her was this: if the way forward was completely blocked by some spell, the best way for them to bypass it was to switch back to the Shadowfell Underworld.

They and the City of Ghosts have a way to travel between the material world and the Shadowless Underworld. And this method is definitely not just for traveling.

All the shadow spirits immediately obeyed the order and reached out to press their belts, and Gwei was no exception.

This process was not comfortable to begin with, and the shadow spirit felt even more pain while trapped in the force field.

The force field of the magic prison was like a barbed steel plate covering the entire body, and their attempts to escape from the force field prison were like hanging their flesh and blood on the force field - which brought unbearable pain.

But at least Gewei didn't want to fall here.

When she opened her eyes again, the already bizarre and rugged cave became even more indescribable. Everything was still as gloomy, but the surrounding stone patterns were layered like ripples in a lake.

But Gewei was relieved.

She has been witnessing this kind of scene that can make people in the material plane scream in shock for nearly two hundred years.

Now the problem is, the prisoners.

The Shadowfell Underworld is the shadow of the material plane.

Even though everything on the material plane would be distorted to the extreme in the Shadowfell Underworld, with prior preparation, she should be able to identify the two girls' situation from the distorted gray and white lines before her. This was something they had already experimented with before the official action.

——No, no.

Gewei quickly realized the problem.

Those two girls, who looked nothing special except their petite and pretty looks, became extremely strange in the Shadow Underworld.

The silver-haired girl's hair seemed to melt, yet also to ignite. Her human form had completely dissipated, leaving only swirling balls of silver-white flames, so bright in the Fallen Shadow Underworld that they nearly blinded anyone.

The black-haired girl next to her disappeared without a trace, leaving only a huge and strange black shadow in its place.

——I can’t care about that anymore! Aren’t there enough strange things happening in the Shadow Underworld!?

Gwei gritted her teeth, drew the spare sword from her waist, took a few steps forward, rushed to the two girls, and then pressed her belt again.

In the end, only four shadow spirits, including Shiris and Gwei, successfully broke through the blockade.

But it doesn't matter.

All the strange things disappeared in an instant, and they returned to the material plane again.

The huge shadow and the dancing flames seemed to be just the hallucinations that Gewei had just had.

Regardless, weapons were already placed on the necks of the two girls.

Gwei was hoping to see the two men's terrified expressions, but she immediately shouted, "Speak to your teammates and tell them to surrender! Otherwise, I will kill you!"

However, the silver-haired girl had absolutely no intention of cooperating. Instead, her eyes sparkled: "—I saw it! I saw it! That's how you all escaped in the forest! Haffonte's belt was ineffective due to the influence of the Moonfire, so she didn't get away, right!"

Is this the point now!?

Gewei, who has been struggling for survival and continuation in the Shadow Underworld, feels the disparity between the worlds.

She gritted her teeth and exerted a little force.

She expected that this blow should be enough to draw blood from the silver-haired girl's neck. However, the strange thing was that the silver-haired girl's fair skin only trembled with the sharp blade and was not injured.

Instead, the dark shadow beside her neck trembled slightly.
