Chapter 345: The Invisible Knight
So that was it? Everyperson asked as he looked around goofily. It was my fear that manifested Death?
Yeah. Maya nodded as he patted him on the shoulder. You arent dying.
Thanks, guys. You really helped me despite being sinful, horrible, evil, corrupted, perverted, abominations who denied the grace of the Lord. I see it now. The Camp misjudged you, although you are being labeled as, degenerate, immoral heretics, you are good people. Everyperson said with tears in his eyes.
Gee, thanks, man. You really didnt hold back your praises. Alex rolled his eyes.
What are you going to do now? Miles asked.
Have to return to the Camp. Everyperson sighed. I have a sick mother, and cant leave her alone.
Alright, you be careful, Miles said and nodded towards the others. He would love to help Everyperson, but he couldnt. Chanters couldnt be taken to the Earth as it would jeopardize the safety of strongholds. If Everyperson one day decided to leave the Camp, he could do so and Miles was more than willing to help him out.
They stood up to leave since they were done with Everyperson. Now they had to find the Invisible Knight and kill it. Maps weren't covering the Phantom World, as monsters named it, thus they had to follow the crude doodlings survivors passed. But Vals superpower was still as effective. Her Clairvoyance power allowed her to see through any facade and obstacles in their ways, with the sketches they had, it didn't take them to arrive at the area where the academy had signed.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
It must be around here, Val said as she took one last look at the drawings on her wristwatch. Miles, you are up now.
Alright, lemme see. Miles activated elemental vision and took a look around. The forest was still the same green, and other elements were splashing all around it to create a harmonic canvas. But in the middle of it all, there was a wisp of red not far from where they were.
Blood, Miles whispered as he walked towards the source. There, they found a student from the academy. Its head and limbs were missing, but the uniform on the torso was clear.
Can you see the hole in that torso? Miles asked.
Yeah.
There is a creature in that hole. That is not a lance hole, it is the creature who opens that injury to get inside the body. It is smaller than a palm. Miles said. But another one is hiding nearby. It is a giant donkey.
Two creatures? Maya asked.
Seems like it. Miles pointed at the area where the donkey was hiding, and said, You deal with the donkey, let me deal with that invisible creature.
The trio left towards the forest where Miles detected the monster, while he still kept his eyes on the small creature. When Maya was about to touch the torso, the monster opened its little mouth to shout and a shock wave spread out. It was silent, despite the effect it caused.
You are not just invisible. You are also inaudible, probably cant be felt when touched, am I right? Miles slowly walked towards the torso as he raised his hand. Invisible energy covered his arm and he slashed it. When it landed on top of the torso, the invisible and attributeless energy changed its color. It turned into electric blue and sounds of lightning filled the air. The energy swipe hit the monster head-on, but it passed through it as if it didnt exist.
You are also intangible. Interesting. Miles looked at the creature in fascination. You can attack but cannot be attacked.
How about this? Miles long noticed the energy link between the body and the creature. Although the creature looked intangible, it was feeding on the bodys energy to survive. His theory was that it needed a host to keep on living. So, he pulled out a fire arrow and fired it towards the body. The creature shouted once again, but the arrow took a curve in the air and dodged the shock wave. It would be impossible if Miles couldnt see it, but he could, so he was able to move the arrow so it would fly true.
The arrow hit the body and fire started to burn it. The creature cried in panic as it failed to protect its host. When Maya attacked, the creature let out a shockwave to protect the body. But Miles used it to his advantage to burn it.
After the body was incinerated, the creature shrunk at rapid speed. Not long after, it crumbled to dust and vanished. At the exact same time, a roar filled the forest. Followed by Vals scream.
VAL!
