Is the seawater red?
Nis was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It’s blood! It’s the blood of those Sea Beasts!"
At this time, Ferro also said, "I saw it, that group of Sea Beasts is tearing at each other, their blood has stained the sea surface red."
Although the distance was far, with a Wizard’s abilities, seeing distant situations wasn’t difficult. It was just that they had been completely focused on the Mysterious Fruit before, with no thought or way to look down. Now, within the Domain Field, they finally saw the scene beneath the waves.
"Their blood not only stained the sea surface red, it’s also being absorbed by Number 03, nourishing the fruit above her head." Angel said softly, looking into the distance.
Nis and Ferro did not doubt Angel’s judgment because they also saw the blood-red seawater surging up the waves under an unknown force. It was being absorbed by the branches at Number 03’s feet. As a large amount of blood water was drawn into Number 03, the red fruit above her head became more vivid and enticing, and its allure was constantly rising.
In just half a minute, the allure rose another level.
Under the protection of the Domain Field, they could clearly feel this change.
"Angel, can the strength of your light shield be increased?" Ferro tried hard to suppress the desire to gaze at the fruit and turned to Angel.
Angel shook his head: "Not at the moment."
The green Pattern in his right eye, he had settled for a period of time, but back then he focused on understanding its traits, not on enhancing its power. He believed the Domain Field could definitely have room for increasing strength, but it would require a deeper understanding of the green Pattern.
"Then we must solve the current crisis while the fruit’s allure is still controllable. Otherwise, we could all be trapped in it." Ferro said solemnly.
Angel raised his head, looking towards Kanter in the high sky. The most urgent matter was definitely to get in touch with Kanter.
Ferro: "I tried to use the Distant Voice Spell to contact Lord Like Night, but the floating night around him is a manifestation of high-energy Magic Power, seemingly conscious, blocking all approaching Transcendent forces."
"I also tried to approach, but... the Energy Field is too chaotic, it’s very difficult to get close, just like now."
As they spoke, the distant giant waves and night once again clashed.
Kanter displayed very crazed aggression, using various methods to try to approach Number 03 and seize the fruit above her. The surrounding area became a vast energy void due to his power, with even faint signs of space collapse.
Meanwhile, Number 03 relied on the fruit’s allure and strong control over the sea to constantly restrain Kanter.
It seemed that Number 03’s power was indeed inferior to Kanter, but due to various external factors, she managed to hold Kanter off, making the battle stalemate.
Ferro looked at the boiling battlefield in the distance, wearing a bitter smile. Too strong an ally can also be troubling.
"Let me have my Soul Servant give it a try," said Nis.
Upon finishing his words, a space crack appeared out of nowhere, this was the entrance to the Exile Space. A Knight wearing bone armor stepped out from the crack.
After appearing, the Bone Armor Knight first saluted Nis silently, then without any verbal command, it began to step out of the Domain Field, flying toward the night sky.
But just as it flew less than twenty meters, its trajectory suddenly changed, as if it lost judgment, it dully flew towards the distant waves.
Nis’s expression was grim: "I can no longer sense its thoughts."
In other words, the Bone Armor Knight was out of control.
Judging from the direction the Bone Armor Knight headed towards, there was no doubt that it too had succumbed to the "charm" of the red fruit.
This situation made Nis very shocked because his control over the Bone Armor Knight was certainly not based on "trust and love", although bonds could be used, the emotions of the controlled would be very unstable, which was a huge taboo in battle, so Nis used Soul Sect spell techniques: Touch of Soul for controlling any Undead. Only during leisure would he allow the Undead self-awareness, for instance, the Undead in the Soul Valley weren’t planted with Touch of Soul.
By inserting his Touch of Soul into the controlled object, he could completely dominate the controlled, without worrying about betrayal.
But now, even with Touch of Soul, the Bone Armor Knight was still not under control.
This meant that the fruit’s allure had already surpassed the limitations of Touch of Soul.
Nis believed that even the allure of a top-notch Succubus could hardly suppress Touch of Soul. But now, the fruit’s allure had rendered Touch of Soul useless.
Nis didn’t know if that allure was "Energy", but if it really was energy, it would definitely be a high-energy crush.
No wonder even a top Wizard like Kanter of the Night was affected by it.
...
Although Nis had already judged in his heart, he still had some disbelief, he kept sensing the Bone Armor Knight, trying to awaken the Touch of Soul, but the result was the same, he did not get any response.
The Bone Armor Knight continued to fly step by step towards Number 03.
If someone could look at it from the front, they’d find that the Ghost Fire under the crevice of the bone helmet, which was ghostly green in the past, had turned bright red.
This bright red was completely consistent with the color of the fruit above Number 03’s head. Even the frequency of the Ghost Fire’s vibration matched the frequency of the fruit’s shaking.
The Bone Armor Knight was completely influenced by the fruit, constantly trying to approach and pluck it.
But as it stepped into the battlefield range between Number 03 and Kanter, the surrounding energy directly poured into the bone armor.
Bam——
With a great sound, the bone armor turned into white dust, and the Knight Undead hidden beneath it was torn into fragments by the manic energy.
Watching the scene from afar, Nis felt his heart was faintly bleeding.
The shattering of the bone armor didn’t matter, since it was made from locally-sourced bones, but the Knight Undead inside was a soul servant he often used.
Its importance was comparable to that of his strange disciple’s "Virgin Star" and "Daisy Star".
Now, seeing the soul servant’s demise with his own eyes, Nis was naturally very upset.
"Even the soul servant couldn’t resist the allure of the fruit... This is simply unbelievable. What exactly is that fruit, where does its allure come from?"
No one could answer Nis’s question.
Nis looked at Reynaud: "Has Number 03 ever exhibited a situation like this before?"
