Chapter 311: Chapter 315: Preparing for Battle

But there were still hundreds of bouquets floating in the air, and there was no space left in the Dimensional Bag. Lancelot looked at the roots of those flowers with sharp spikes, his gaze slightly chilly, as he gently drew out the Frostslash hidden behind him.

“Little Isha, release control of these flowers,” he said.

“But, but then they will definitely attack you immediately...”@@@@

“Let them come,” Lancelot smiled, “I can still handle this number.”

Hearing this, Little Isha didn’t say anything more. She gently closed her eyes, severing some sort of connection with these vampiric plants.

Instantly, those originally gently floating bouquets all froze at once, then they began to rotate in unison, pointing their stems toward Lancelot below, forming a floral sphere with the Human Knight at its center.

A cyan Sword Aura emerged on his Hand Half Sword. Lancelot thought for a moment, then released his left hand that was holding the end of the sword hilt, forming a strange hand gesture that looked as if he was holding another invisible Longsword, before abruptly pulling his arm outward.

To his companions nearby, it appeared as if Lancelot had drawn a phantom Longsword out of thin air. This newly emerged sword looked very much like Frostslash, completely composed of Lancelot’s signature cyan light. It flickered on and off in mid-air, seeming merely an illusion, yet the sharpness it radiated made it seem tangible, definitely not to be ignored.

This illusion was nothing else but a Sword Shadow created by Lancelot using the Qingyun Sword Art. Although with his current cultivation power, the Sword Shadow’s power could only reach one-tenth of the original’s, it was completely sufficient for slashing some flowers and grass.

Lancelot’s left hand re-gripped Frostslash, the semi-transparent Sword Shadow quietly floating beside the Hand Half Sword, appearing merely as a reflection. The roses from the Demon Palace, as if intimidated by some murderous aura, slightly dispersed, but in the next second, they descended like countless arrows, blanketing the Human Knight.

He did not want to lie, but he also did not want to reveal his real secret, so he could only answer that way. Fortunately, this would neither harm anyone nor pose a significant burden on his conscience.

“I see,” Acheron nodded. “I guess you were a strong martial artist before you even entered that portal; otherwise, I’d be facing a magician right now.”

“Big brother indeed has some magical abilities, which you’ll see,” said Bruto, who had already donned his sharp armor. “Can we go now? The sooner we deal with that weeping banshee, the sooner we can hit the road.”

“Patience, Bruto,” Kalalin began pulling scrolls from his backpack. “When we encounter that banshee later, you’ll be glad we took the time to prepare.”

The Scholar cast Owlsight on Koula and Bruto. This 2nd level spell enhances the recipient’s Perception Ability, helping them better resist the effects of fear. Additionally, the Halfling’s Courage Potion would also be helpful. Meanwhile, the Priest cast the Blessing Art, a Divine Art that enhanced everyone’s life force and could last up to eight hours, a must-have before starting the day of adventure.

Furthermore, Alamir prepared a cup of Holy Water, an ingredient for casting Blessings, to enhance everyone’s resistance to any magical effects. He planned to use it immediately upon encountering the banshee since, as an ethereal being, magic was undoubtedly her main mode of attack.

Of course, Little Isa could not enjoy the benefits of this Divine Art, as for an undead, Holy Water was akin to strong acid. However, the little vampire was also immune to most of the banshee’s attacks, so she was not at a significant disadvantage.

This group of cautious adventurers made all the preparations they could until they were certain nothing more could be done. Once everything was ready, they reformed their battle formation and followed Lancelot into what had just been a blooming field of flowers, now a vast expanse of bones.
