Chapter 80: “Caught in a Burning Barley Field”
Blanc’s group kept approaching the city, but there were no other major movements on either side. The group of red skeletons should have been in plain sight from the city by now, but both sides must have determined that as long as they didn’t meet then no fighting would break out. However, Blanc’s group had more than just skeletons.
“Ah, we’re close enough. [Mist], [Dark Curtain].”
Without a sound, mist and darkness exploded out of Blanc. Rather than true “darkness,” though, it was more like dimming the lights. Since the sun was still rising, when it expanded together with the mist, the [Dark Curtain] severely hindered visibility.
“Isn’t this totally amazing? If I use it at night, I bet no one would be able to see any…thing, but actually, there’s no point in making things dimmer at night…”
“It’s good that you noticed that on your own.”
At least it was an effective skill for right now. The human defenders had started moving about frantically as soon as the mist suddenly appeared.
“But you’re too late! [Hellflame]!”
Searing flames instantly billowed out, as though the mist itself had caught on fire, and tongues of fire ignited the barley fields.
“That’s so cool! It’s like the mist itself caught on fire!”
