As a group of people walked in the garden, there was a strange fragrance coming from the surrounding flowerbeds, and the fragrance, like the smell of blood, stimulated everyone's senses.

Anne walked at the front of the line, the old people walked in the middle, and Darius walked at the end.

He observed the behavior of these old people, and if there was any abnormal behavior, he would sneak up and deal with them.

"Peter, something doesn't seem right about you."

However, those old people did not want Darius to stay at the end. If there were any enemies behind, Darius would undoubtedly be the first to encounter the enemy.

The main purpose of the old people coming here is to die and to protect the priest, and their current secondary purpose is to help this young man return alive.

"How to say?"

Darius concealed a lot of information. Anne knew a little bit, but these old people only knew that this was a place for trials. Other than that, they knew nothing. Did they find out that he was hiding something?

"You seem very nervous, and you seem to be wary of nearby enemies... How about you come to the middle, and we will guard against enemies from behind."

Several old people looked at Darius. They came here without weapons, but Darius had a dagger in his hand, but it was too dangerous to use a dagger to face the enemies in the priest's trial.

In addition, the old people were all guards, and their years of experience allowed them to know what Darius was guarding against by observing the movements of Darius holding the dagger and the various reactions on his expression.

"Thank you for your kindness, but no need...enjoy the last part of the journey."

Darius indifferently rejected the kindness of these old people. Although these old people were very kind to him, these old people were potential enemies who could "rebel" at any time. A soldier's qualities required him to be wary of these old people.

Even though these old people are just mortals, he is already a ninth-level transcendent.

Even if he ignored these old people and waited until they mutated and launched an attack before paying attention to them, Darius and Annie would not be harmed.

However, no matter how small the crisis, no matter how inconspicuous the enemy, as a soldier, Darius cannot take it lightly.

"Ahem——"

An old man coughed suddenly, and Darius's attention was immediately attracted to the old man. He was holding the black cutter that turned into a dagger, and he was ready.

And all this was discovered by the old people who talked to him.

"The last journey... You seem to have something in your words, can you tell me? We can accept it."

The old man discovered that the enemies Darius was wary of might be these old men. Why? They wanted to know the reason.

"...You'd better not know. If you feel like something is trying to come out of your body, tell me and I'll take care of it -"

How can we save these old people? Although if they don't die, their children will not get the pension, but it is really cruel to be corroded by the energy of the blood moon and turn into monsters before dying.

That kind of change is definitely uncomfortable. The transformation of the human body by rune energy has always been subtle and gradual, but the rune energy transmitted by Blood Moon concentrated decades of changes and transformations into just a few minutes.

Every minute and every second, one part of the body becomes something else, and pain is unavoidable. If you look closely, you can see that there are beads of sweat on the foreheads of these old people, and they are enduring it.

And if you want these old people to die in the process of protecting Annie, you must set up a barrier to isolate these old people from the rune energy. That is what the mage has to do, and Darius cannot do it.

Annie seems to be able to do this, but the nature of her energy is flame. Mortals have extremely low resistance to flames. If a flame barrier is set up on the elderly, they will be burned if they are not careful.

Not feasible.

"You know everything?"

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a smile on his face, but because of the pain, their smile was very bitter.

"Are we almost...that time?"

The old man originally wanted to say whether they were about to die, but Darius pointed to Anne in front of him, and then gestured with his hand to indicate Anne's height, and the old people understood instantly.

Although in the eyes of these old people, Anne has a noble status and is a trainee priest of the Holy Moon, she is still a child no matter what. These old people have their own grandchildren, how can they not consider the feelings of their children?

Death is something that is rarely mentioned in front of children.

"Well, the reason is the mutation in your body... If you can't hold it in any longer, just tell me and I will give you a good time."

Darius is still unwilling to tell these old people the truth. He would rather let these old people guess whether they have been poisoned by some kind of poison, some kind of poison hidden in the fragrance of flowers.

The idea of ​​a pension comes to this trial, but the old man, who has always sacrificed himself to protect others, knows that the meaning of their coming here is to become monsters and be killed by the people they want to protect.

That is murderous and heartbreaking.

"Well...we get it."

Many old people have begun to cover their noses with tissues or rags from their clothes. The changes in their bodies are definitely not without reason, and the thing that makes them feel the most "strange" at present is the smell of blood.

Floral.

Everyone was waiting, the old man was waiting that he could no longer hold on and longed for death, Darius was waiting for the old people to make a request to end their lives, and at this time, Anne had already taken the lead and stepped into another small courtyard.

The first place was a garden. A group of people had not encountered any opponents or enemies, so this might be the beginning of the trial.

Darius and the old people walked into the small courtyard together.

But they found that except for the gate where they entered, all the doors in the other directions were closed tightly, and Annie's body was burning with flames, which was the lava shield she opened.

Anne is defensive?

"you

Don't move any more, don't wander around, just stand here for now."

Darius walked in front of the old people, looking back at the old people while searching the yard. Annie turned on the shield, which meant that someone was attacking her.

Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?

"Forehead……"

Darius suddenly stopped. He raised his right hand holding the dagger and clearly felt that he had touched something. When he looked at his right hand, he found several white marks on it.

"It's an invisible trap. Annie's defense is actually convenient."

Darius looked back at the old people, then at Annie's condition, and decided not to do anything more.

Although the power of the invisible trap he just touched is small, it is compared to the toughness of extraordinary people. If those old people had touched such an invisible trap, their bodies might have been cut into pieces without even realizing it.

Two and a half.

Besides, is this kind of power the ultimate power of invisible traps? Out of the caution of a soldier, Darius does not want to rely on his toughness to forcefully touch these traps. The damage may not be high, but it will

Will there be any negative side effects?

However, if another method is used to isolate the harm caused by the outside world with will, the old people will definitely suffer something wrong. Darius does not want to expose his identity, even if those old people will die soon.

"Darius! Come and take a look!"

Anne turned around in front and waved to Darius.

"I……"

Forget it, there's no point in being angry with a child. Darius's idea of ​​hiding his identity suddenly came to nothing. The old people here all knew that his name was Peter, not Darius.

Anne's shout directly let these old people know that the two of them had known each other before.

The most important thing is that at that time, Darius wanted Anne to call him Peter, but later his attention was attracted by Tibbs. After chatting with Tibbs for a while, he forgot about it.

"no solution anymore."

The dagger in Darius's hand changed into its original ax shape, and the clothes on Darius's body also turned into his battle armor.

He releases his will and uses his will to defend. Although he is best at using his will to attack, this does not mean that he cannot use his will to defend.

He only needs to wrap his whole body with his sharp will, and the invisible traps he touches will naturally be cut off, just like being cut off by his guillotine.

Walking to Annie, Darius turned off his will protection state. Although he controlled his will very well and would not accidentally injure his teammates because he was too close, the bodies of the old people behind him had begun to

Trembling.

Darius's will, the will to kill that was condensed on countless battlefields, just unfolded, making those nearby feel like they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

After all, those old people were old, and together with the guards of the Holy Moon of Besilikoli, they basically didn't see much blood. The excitement brought to them by the bloody scene was not ordinary.

"Tell me what you found."

Darius looked around. After all, the courtyard was empty. There were only some blood-colored stone tables and chairs. Other than that, there were only roads paved with stone slabs.

Is there an enemy lurking here? The probability is very small, but if there is, they are either good at hiding or extremely small in size.

"Is this a spider?"

Annie pointed to the bloody animal with many legs on the ground.

"It seems so?"

Darius reached out and touched the dead spider, but unexpectedly, the spider's body immediately turned into fly ash, and it seemed that it had been dead for a long time.

He originally wanted to take a closer look. After all, this spider seemed to be very different from the spider in his impression. In his impression, the spider didn't seem to have three eyes on its cephalothorax and abdomen, right?

"Wow! No more! It's all your fault!"

Anne angrily put the blame on Darius, but Darius couldn't do anything, even though it was really him who broke it?

"Okay, it's my fault. Can the door be opened? Have you tried it?"

Darius didn't want to get entangled in this matter. If this animal that looked like a spider appeared, then those invisible traps were actually spider webs?

Even for some extraordinary-level spiders, their webs are used to stick to enemies, not as death traps.

It is indeed difficult to detect a single piece of spider silk, but it is different when it forms a spider web. In this yard, there is no shaped spider web anywhere. It is as hard as steel wire and as sharp as a sword. This kind of spider silk is used

If it were a trap, basically no one below the level of extraordinary would be able to survive.
