Chapter 246 Escape
Late at night, the alley was dark, with only the dim light of the street lamp shining through, revealing the long-dried bloodstains on the wall.

And from the deeper shadows came rustling sounds, and one could vaguely hear the sound of mice gnawing on leftovers and the flapping of bats' wings.

A thin mist spread in the alley.

Olivia, who was wearing a robe, stopped and stood still.

"Something seems wrong here."

She frowned slightly and clenched the staff in her hand.

From the moment she entered the city, Olivia felt a strange force turning the magic net in this area into something as sticky as mud, making it difficult for her to cast spells.

And space-teleportation spells are all banned, the space here seems to be made of steel.

She knew that this was some kind of anti-magic field, but such a vast area still shocked her, and she became extremely alert and more cautious.

For a mage, being in such a field, any negligence may lead to terrible consequences.

"Have those minions of the evil dragon discovered me?"

Olivia thought of the human's abnormality just now and her expression suddenly changed drastically.

"This is impossible."

"How could he be the accomplice of the evil dragon?"

She clenched her teeth and couldn't help muttering to herself.

Olivia originally thought that the human was just afraid of the evil regime, but now when she thought about it again, she saw something strange.

She finally knew why she felt strange just now, but she couldn't tell where - it turned out that expression contained not only nervousness, but also excitement and enthusiasm that were difficult to conceal.

Silver Dragon actually doesn’t care about humans’ reactions, she only focuses on the information she wants to obtain. It is this arrogance that makes her hurt herself!

"call--"

The sound of whistling wind was heard, like the howling of an unknown wild beast, or the mournful scream of a ghost.

Olivia picked up a pinch of silver powder without hesitation, sprinkled it in front of her vision, and then whispered a spell.

Although the magic network here was suppressed, it was still quite easy for her to cast those low-level spells.

【See through the invisible】

Dark Vision

There was a faint light in her blue-gray pupils.

In an instant, Olivia's vision became extremely clear, and she could see everything hidden in the darkness.

——I saw more than a dozen pale-faced vampires lurking in the shadows, with cruel smiles on their faces, some holding daggers, some pulling short bows, or some dragging chains.

They swarmed around, crawling on the walls like spiders, as if trying to devour the robed outsider.

These "Nocturne" guys are very patient. They keep making frightening noises and slowly approach with strange postures. They are very good at causing the enemy's psychological collapse and taking them captive.

"Oh no, it's a vampire."

"Is this what they call 'Nocturne'? The smell of blood is really disgusting."

Olivia's expression was solemn; she recognized this evil undead creature at a glance.

The vampires seemed to realize that the enemy had noticed their presence, so they bared their sharp fangs and attacked from the shadows.

"For those who dare to enter the kingdom, Nocturne will grant you eternal sleep!"

"Give up, or you won't see the sun tomorrow..."

"We will consider sparing your life, outsider."

The vampires murmured hoarsely. "This is tricky."

Olivia waved her staff out of thin air, creating a shimmering spherical barrier that enveloped her entire body.

【Wall of Kindness】

This spell works on one side of a wall, preventing evil creatures from moving.
Those vampires that rushed over were actually fixed in place, as if they were under a spell and could not get any closer. They could only stare at the target that was within their reach.

Olivia tapped her staff lightly, and suddenly a cold wind blew. An ice wall emitting cold air rose from the ground, freezing the vampires who could not escape.

The vampire frozen in the ice wall even maintained the posture of pouncing forward, looking hideous and extremely ferocious.

"Whoosh-"

The vampires in the distance shot out sharp arrows coated with poison.

Olivia's robe suddenly lost its disguise and shone like stars. The starlight containing magical power blocked all the arrows.

"boom!"

However, one of the sharp arrows suddenly exploded after touching the protection, blowing her several meters away and even hitting the wall.

Fortunately, Olivia had several protective spells on her, including protection against energy damage and mage armor, which prevented her from getting hurt.

Olivia leaned against the wall with a solemn expression. She seemed to hear increasingly noisy noises around her and saw even more terrifying scenes:

——The Earth Elf Line Regiment is marching in neat steps, the ogres are making heavy footsteps, and the wyverns are roaring and occupying the sky.

"This can't go on like this."

"If we don't leave now, we will only attract more enemies."

Olivia subconsciously wanted to cast a teleportation spell to leave this dangerous enemy camp, but she felt that the space was still like a wall made of steel, and ordinary spells could not pry it open at all. Even if she tried her best, the result was the same.

"how come."

She clenched her teeth and cold sweat ran down her forehead.

Faced with the enemies that came one after another, Olivia had no choice but to hold the staff tightly and raise it high. The magic crystal on the top of the staff suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

【Shining Web】

Rays of light appeared on the ground, moving back and forth between the vampires, and gradually formed a network of lights flashing with intricate brilliance.

The vampires were entangled and bound in place, and their bodies, which were afraid of the sunlight, began to burn.

Olivia was panting and her face was a little pale.

In this area of ​​suppressing magic web, just casting a fourth-level spell almost exhausted all her energy.

However, at this moment, a vampire used his ability to transform into blood mist to dodge heavy defenses, and came quietly behind Olivia, stabbing her defenseless back with a dagger.

As the sharp blade whistled through the air, the dagger with dark mist attached to it cut through the robe and pierced the body.

"Uh--"

Olivia screamed in pain.

At the moment of being hit, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from her pupils, and a strong sound wave suddenly spread out with her as the center, and the vampire who attacked was blown away several meters.

A thick cloud of fog appeared where Olivia had been. The vampires rushed forward again, only to find that there was nothing in the fog.

"Huh, huh..."

At the end of the alley, Olivia was trying her best to maintain her invisibility and escape from the city.

The wound on her back continued to ooze blood, staining her robe red and dripping onto the ground. Due to her invisibility, these bloodstains seemed to appear out of thin air to ordinary people.
