Dragon of the Root

Chapter 89: The Mist

*Puff!* The sound of arrows shot through the flesh.

*Puffs!*

Rikudou Reika fell to the ground, and together with Jack.

A sharp arrow pierced both of them.

In the distance, Atalanta maintained an archery posture, watching two pairs of figures fall in the distance.

"Mom Mom" Jack lay in Rikudou Reika arms, raised his head hard and looked at her.

Rikudou Reika opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at Jack who was stabbed with her, raised her hand and caressed Jack face.

"Jackit's alrightI gave orders with the last Command SealsJackeven without meyou're fine"

A burst of red light flashed, and the last Command Seals in Rikudou Reika hand disappeared, and then Rikudou Reika put her hand down and closed her eyes.

"mom, mom, mom"

*Puff--! Puffs!*

Another arrow was shot into Jack body, and Jack no longer insisted on being unable to stand and fell on his face.

Atalanta came from the thick fog, looked at the mother and child, and shook his head.

"Such a child turns out to be a Heroic Spirit." She sighed as he spoke.

However, right at this moment, Jack "corpse" moved, she stood up as if nothing had happened, and stood up with the arrow pierced through her and Rikudou Reika.

Atalanta hastily jumped back and aimed at the opponent with a bow and arrow.

Jack turned around and stood in front of Atalanta, his head suddenly turned ninety degrees, looked at Atalanta, and said, "Whywhy!"

*Puff--!*

Then Jack body suddenly exploded, and a huge thick smoke instantly spread around Jack as the center.

Smoke enveloped Atalanta and Wu Ming had just arrived and even Jeanne, who was carrying a child in the distance, got involved.

A huge stream of magical smoke enveloped Wu Ming, he closed his eyes, and used his mind and eyes to detect the surroundings with his own magical detection.

"Reality Marble?!" Wu Ming said in surprise.

When the smoke dissipated, the scene in front of Wu Ming completely changed, he was at an alley crossing at the moment.

Wu Ming frowned and looked around.

Decay and destruction flooded this era. The smoke generated by industrial production completely covered the city.

Everything in front of him, the walls, floors, and houses was gray and black which was an uncomfortable color.

Looking at the newspaper blowing in the wind, Wu Ming stretched out his hand to grasp it, and what caught his attention was a large amount of English.

"Oh, I see. If I'm not mistaken, this should be England in 1888."

Wu Ming threw away the newspaper and started walking out of this alley.

As he was about to walk out into the street, there was a cry for help.

"Let go of me, please!"

Wu Ming looked towards asking for help, it was a strong man holding a wine bottle bullying a girl who seemed to be just a teenager.

The girl's face was covered with thick foundation, her face was painted like a young woman makeup, and her lips were painted with bright red lipstick.

Her face and body weren't aligned at all, such a small child would come out with such heavy makeup, Wu Ming had seen what kind of work this girl was doing.

"Stop it!" Wu Ming shouted loudly.

Even knowing that all of this was Jack the Ripper Noble Phantasm, an illusion within Reality Marble, Wu Ming still couldn't help but stop this scene.

Then the man noticed that there was someone else and fled in a hurry.

Upon seeing Wu Ming, the girl also fled in a panic.

However, the place where he escaped was the main road. As soon as the girl got out of the way, a speeding carriage rushed towards her.

In his desperate eyes, the carriage was getting closer and closer to her.

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and pulled back the unresponsive girl.

The girl looked at Wu Ming, didn't say much, and didn't mean to say thank you, once again, she turned around and prepared to run away.

"Is this the neighborhood you live in, Jack?"

The girl who heard this paused, then turned to look at Wu Ming.

"Yes, it is a sad world where we are abandoned by prostitutes."

Seeing Wu Ming who still wanted to say something, he didn't mean to listen, but turned around and left.

Seeing Wu Ming leave, the girl was stunned on the spot, and then she also left Wu Ming perception range, not knowing where she was going.

Because the first to start the industrial revolution caused England to be very powerful, and after becoming strong, it brought decadent prosperity.

Although not everyone is rotten, judging by the current living conditions in this Reality Marble, these children must have had a bad life.

The reason why Wu Ming decided not to kill Jack, and even one of the Jacks he met just now ignored her, was simply because he felt that they should not have to endure this kind of pain and curse. In his mind he already had some ideas.

After all, he was also called a Heroic Spirit.

"The most urgent thing is to find Jeanne first. With his character, he will definitely catch up with Jack."

....

At this time, Jeanne met Jack, no, it must be said that Jack found Jeanne herself.

Jeanne walked down the smoky street, looked at the surrounding streets that were completely different from Trifas, and said, "This isLondon?"

Looking at the illusory black necromantic people passing by on the street, Jeanne frowned.

"This is the Black Assassin dream, his nightmare."

At this time, Jack whose body had become very young, quietly appeared behind Jeanne, and then a burst of smoke began to surround Jeanne.

And Jeanne seems sensitive, and her body emits light, dispelling the smoke around her.

And Jack ran away in a hurry.

Jeanne turned and looked in the direction Jack was running away from.

"There."

After speaking, she followed.

....

On the other hand, Wu Ming found a pair of acquaintances unexpectedly while instinctively searching for Jack body.

"Sieg? Astolfo? How did you two come here?"

Wu Ming looked at Seig who was being comforted by Astolfo.

"Ah, this is Soderlake, great. Just now, because we learned that Master Jack had used Command Seals, we looked for the source of the magic power that Chiron had accidentally discovered."

"Just as we landed, a cloud of smoke suddenly surrounded us. Master and I had disappeared, and what seemed like an illusion had just appeared. Since Master was unable to accept it for a while, I comforted him." Astolfo explained.

"Sir Soderlake" Sieg lifted his bowed head and looked at Wu Ming with tired eyes.

"Is that real? Rider told me that none of them were truebut"

Wu Ming looked at Sieg and said, "Since you saw it, you have to accept it, Sieg."

After Sieg heard these words, his eyes immediately widened.

"In other words, it's true" Sieg said with an 'I just found out' expression.

"But the people or things you've been meeting lately aren't fake, you can only say that humans are just animals like that."

Looking at the still dumbfounded Sieg, Wu Ming looked at Astolfo.

"Astolfo, Sieg will be left to you. You are here to protect him. Don't let him roam anymore."

"Oh oh! So."

After the explanation, Wu Ming turned and left, he wanted to find Jack.
