Chapter 882 882 Bump In The Dark

Wolfe led the group forward, and the light from Cassie's spell began to fade, suppressed by the darkness in this place.

"What's going on with the light? Other magic seems to work fine." She asked as she added a bit more mana to the spell.

"If I understood it correctly from the last Seraph that I talked to, Light Magic is the polar opposite of the magic of this place. The stronger the magic in the area is, the harder it will be to keep light magic active." Wolfe offered.

"Then, do we have an alternative?" Cassie asked.

"You can use Detect Hidden. It will reveal most things that are hidden from your vision. That's everything once the light goes out, but it's not perfect. Does anyone have a better spell?" Wolfe asked.

Molly sighed. "I've never needed one. I can see pretty well in the dark to begin with, so I never even learned [Detect Hidden]."

"I know a Thermal Vision charm. That should be enough when combined with [Detect Hidden]. Wolfe, if you can use your specialty on everyone, I will prepare the charms. Then we can let the light fade and decide if we can see well enough to continue." Ella offered.

Her charms were ready in a few seconds, and they all strung them around their necks with their armour amulets.

"Wait, I have another idea. I will make some mana gathering and storage charms. That way, if we get separated or cut off from outside mana, you all have something to work with." Wolfe offered.

Cassie took out a set of amulet blanks with a hole to string them with the others, but Wolfe shook his head and made a set of Noxus Family logo amulets out of Jade Green Mana Crystals at the Rank Five maximum density.

"Welcome to the Noxus Family, Molly. I know it's a bit sudden, but you are one of us now. Anyone else who tries to wear one of these will die." Wolfe explained. Find new stories at novelhall.com

The little beastkin gave him a hug.

"You will find that all private rooms in Forest Grove are shielded against it. Even if you turn it all the way up, you won't be able to see into homes or underground bedrooms." Cassie informed her with a smile.

"That does make me feel a bit better. But out in public..." She shuddered at the thought.

Ella patted her fluffy ears. "The guards can sense it, and there are penalties for being a creep. Plus, Kind Intentions doesn't allow them to use it to be a pervert."

Wolfe snapped his fingers. "That's a great idea. More amulets incoming."

He quickly created a set of coins that were Kind Intentions on one side and Mana Purification on the other, so they didn't end up cursed while they travelled.

"Will this stop us from being attacked?" Molly asked.

Wolfe shook his head. "Doubtful. Plus, it's only over yourself, and not a radius effect, to save mana. I will cast a larger one, but it might not do anything either, as these creatures view the whole situation as harmless entertainment.

None of the monsters that we are seeing are natural-born creatures, they're all created by a spell."

The Witches looked at the heat signatures in the distance with increased curiosity. If everything here was part of some sort of spell, was this their equivalent to Tribulation? Could this be more of a 'Turnabout is fair play' situation than just an excuse to torture them for messing with the Fallen Army?

Wolfe motioned forward. "Are we ready to move? I get the feeling that whatever is ahead will be different from what we're expecting."

The others nodded, and Wolfe stepped forward into the next room. It appeared empty, but the level of this world's strange mana in the room was tenfold higher than it had been outside, and he could feel it seeping into his body in a steady stream.

Then a spell activated, and everyone was plunged into a nightmare of illusions.
