In a small restaurant, Yang Tian was tidying up his equipment and reviewing the battle.?
In the beginning, I realized that the effects of the magic were beyond my expectations, so I got carried away…Moreover, using magic consumes mana. Although I used the mana stored in the grimoire, it doesn't mean that I can squander it like this. Although the 6 distorted souls gave me 6 points, due to my unrestrained use of magic, it consumed nearly 200 points of magic, which was almost one-fifth of my reserves.]
Yang Tian picked up the Book of Necromancy and tried to recall the feeling of using the spell. There was an advantage to using the mana stored in the spellbook to cast spells, which was that it could skip hand gestures and incantations and directly cast all spells. However, it required the user to hold the spellbook and focus their mental power on the book. If he did not use the grimoire to cast spells…Yang Tian had yet to memorize the complicated incantations and hand gestures.
In comparison, he didn't have to worry about these things when he used the Magic Gun in battle. After all, the Magic Gun had an unlimited number of bullets. As long as he didn't use his mind to shoot, the consumption of his mental strength wasn't much. However, ever since he came into contact with the seal of the Magic Spear in the Alien, every time he used the Magic Spear, he would feel all kinds of negative emotions in his heart, such as sadness, hatred, greed, and blood. Yang Tian knew that this was the true face of the Magic Spear. If one did not have the power to control the Magic Spear, they would be controlled by it.?
Yang Tian looked at his weapon in distress. One of them had a problem with endurance, and the other was even more troublesome. It would affect his mind and personality.?In comparison, the grimoire was still better.
As expected, all power comes with a price…
Since that was the case, Yang Tian did not intend to continue complaining.?He hung the magic spear on his waist and prepared to use magic to solve the problem unless it was absolutely necessary. He flipped open the magic book again and considered how to use the three spells he had.
Annu's Roar can be used to intimidate monsters, but it can't be used on enemies who are much stronger than you. However, it should be good when facing a large number of distorted souls. After all, the range of this spell is not small. Moreover, it could also be used to prevent mental attacks. It was probably the most commonly used spell in Silent Hill.]
[Barce Crescent Blade. It can be used to create magic curved blades. It should be good for both ranged and melee combat. However, I haven't tested it out yet. I wonder how it will work on the armored face.]]
Itakuya's touch can only be effective through contact. With my current ability, I'm afraid I can only freeze an area of about two square meters at most. As for the effect on those monsters, I need to test it again…
"Big brother, what are you doing here?”
Suddenly, a crisp and childish voice came from behind him. Yang Tian was shocked and almost threw the book in his hand.?After calming himself down, Yang Tian turned around angrily.?
It was a 13 or 14-year-old girl. Although she wasn't very cute, she gave off a delicate feeling. In this dirty world, she seemed to emit a gentle and warm feeling. At this moment, she was covering her small mouth, and her crescent-like eyes were filled with laughter.
" Big brother, you were so funny just now," she said with a smile.
Yang Tian rolled his eyes at her. He really could not lose his temper over a little girl like her.?"Little girl, what's your name? Why are you here? It's very dangerous here."
"My name is Laura. Why do you all say that this place is very dangerous? I met a fat uncle before. He said that there were many monsters in the town, but I've never seen them.”
"Never?" Yang Tian was surprised." How long have you lived here?”
"I've lived in this town since I was young. There used to be a lot of people here. But after everyone left, there was no one to play with Laura.”
Shocking! This was absolutely shocking news for Yang Tian! How was it possible that they had never encountered any monsters while living in Silent Hill?
Yang Tian suppressed his surprise and asked again,""You mentioned Uncle Fatty just now. Who is he? Also, do you know who else is in town?”
"Uncle Fatty's name seems to be Ai Di. He's a very fun person. There was also Sister Angela, but she always liked to stay at the cemetery. In addition, there was another annoying uncle who came just now. He was so angry.”
Yang Tian knew that he might have found a clue related to James, but,[Annoying Uncle? Could it be that James was flirting with the girl…Yang Tian thought wickedly.?
"Little Laura, why did you call that person that annoying uncle?”Yang Tian asked curiously.?Laura's story gave Yang Tian a general understanding of Silent Hill's plot.?
It turned out that James and his wife, Mary, had also lived in Silent Hill a few years ago. However, Mary had contracted an unknown disease and gradually withered and aged. James was kind enough to take care of Mary at first, but as time passed, he began to hate Mary for ruining his life. In the end, he abandoned Mary in the hospital by the lake. When Mary was hospitalized, Laura often came to see her. She thought that it was because James abandoned Mary first that Mary died of illness. That was why she was so unhappy when she saw James this time.
The two of them chatted for a while before parting. Before she left, Laura told Yang Tian that she had locked James in a ward in the hospital.?Yang Tian thought about it. After all, this was the only lead he had at the moment, so he got up and rushed to the hospital.?
Along the way, Yang Tian was thinking about something. Laura had mentioned that she had never encountered any monsters in Silent Hill. Yang Tian found this unbelievable. He had just entered Silent Hill, and not only had he encountered many distorted souls, he had also encountered that terrifying Iron Mask. If Laura had really lived there for so many years, how could she…
Wait, I seem to have overlooked a problem.] Yang Tian seemed to have thought of something and stopped abruptly.?It was only then that he realized that the sky was once again filled with ash and snow, and a large number of swaying figures had appeared around him.
"Dammit!" Yang Tian cursed under his breath. His fingers moved quickly, and black lines formed a complicated pattern in the air. He was even chanting some awkward incantations.?
"Balsai Crescent Blade!" After a full minute and a half, Yang Tiancai completed the spell. As he recited the incantation that marked the end of the spell, Yang Tian felt something flow into his hand. A translucent scimitar appeared in his right hand. If one looked closely, they could see many mysterious inscriptions on the blade.
According to the results of the previous test, if this magic curved sword doesn't rely on magic power to support it, it can last for about 30 minutes. If I keep injecting magic power into it, it can last for at least five hours in my current situation. However, if I use two swords, it can only last for about two hours... but for now, using one sword should be enough.]
Yang Tian looked at the swaying figures. In order to conserve his Magic Power, he did not choose to control them remotely. Instead, he lowered his body and charged forward with his saber.?However, he hadn't been specially trained to use the machete, so he simply waved it randomly based on the posture he had seen in the movies. Of course, even so, it was not a problem to deal with those slow-moving distorted human figures.
As he fought, Yang Tian carefully observed his surroundings.?The appearance of the iron face last time had given him too much of a shock. He had no choice but to guard against the appearance of the iron face again.
At that moment, Yang Tian could vaguely hear a few gunshots coming from the front, as well as the roar of a beast.?
"In front!" Yang Tian was excited.?He quickly cut a few distorted figures in half and ran in the direction of the gunshot.
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared in front of them. Who else could it be but James? In front of him was a monster wearing a medieval triangular helmet.
"James, get down!" Yang Tian shouted and threw the scimitar in his hand.?The scimitar drew a strange curve in the air, brushing past James 'head and chopping at the monster's chest.
Triangular-head roared again. He pulled out the scimitar from his chest and threw it at Yang Tian. Yang Tian quickly dispelled the magic, and the magic scimitar turned into magic words and dissipated into the air.?
Knowing that he was still not very familiar with casting spells, Yang Tian quickly took out the Book of the Dead and condensed a blade again, blocking James.
"Are you alright?" Yang Tian asked.?
"Not bad. Do you know where this damn thing came from?”James fired another shot and asked.
"I don't know." As Yang Tian spoke, he pushed James away and used the momentum to roll to the other side.?Just as they dodged, a car brushed past their clothes.
“oh，mygod!”James saw the triangular-headed man raise another car and let out a sigh. He quickly dodged and fired at the triangular-headed man.
Seeing that Triangular-Head was focused on James, Yang Tian threw his knife out again. At the same time, another knife condensed in his hand and he charged at Triangular-Head.?
Triangular-head dodged the first scimitar and raised the hammer in his hand to smash down on Yang Tian. Yang Tian rolled and dodged the hammer. As he stabilized his body, he stabbed the scimitar into Triangular-head's right rib and activated Itakua's Touch. Triangular-head was completely frozen. At the same time, the scimitar that Triangular-head had dodged flew back to his neck! At this moment…
With a loud bang, a house exploded as if it had been hit by a heavy truck. A huge figure rushed toward Yang Tian.?It was that iron mask! Yang Tian had no choice but to dodge again while controlling the scimitar in the air to attack the armored face.?Triangle-head used this opportunity to break free from the ice. He roared at the sky and raised his hammer again to smash at Yang Tian.?
[The magic scimitar can be used to transmit contact magic, so…] Yang Tian dodged Triangular-Head's attack again. He felt very calm at the moment. Everything around him was shrouded in his perception. It was as if his perception had never been so clear since he entered Silent Hill. James was still hiding in the distance and shooting at the armored man with his pistol. However, it seemed to be ineffective. The bullets bounced off the armored man's body.
"Touch of Itakua!" Yang Tian used the spell again. The scimitar that was stuck in Triangular-Head's waist suddenly released a large amount of bluish-white mist, and Triangular-Head was frozen again. As expected, even if you don't hold the crescent blade in your hand, you can still use it to activate this spell. Then, we can say goodbye.]
The scimitar that was circling in the air and attacking the armored man disappeared once again. Yang Tian gripped the newly formed scimitar tightly and rushed in front of the triangle-headed man.?At this moment, Triangular Head had just broken free from the ice seal. His body was still covered in ice, and after being frozen twice in a row, Triangular Head's movements became rather slow. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Tian slashed at Triangular-Head's neck.?
Silently, the triangular head turned into black ashes and fell to the ground. The armored man in the distance saw this and roared again. He turned around and retreated into the thick fog.
"Killed James 'soul shadow. Obtained a rank C reward. Reward: 2500 points.”
