"Boss, I still have a flashlight here!"
You Sicong took out a flashlight from her dimensional pocket and handed it to Magic Pen. Magic Pen pressed on the flashlight. Eh, why didn't this flashlight light up?
"Sicong, why is this flashlight broken?" Just as Magic Pen asked this question, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Although the game was a high imitation of the real world, it was impossible for game items to be inexplicably damaged.
Magic Pen looked at the flashlight's attribute panel. There was no damage.
"Boss, my flashlight is broken too!"
Steel Centipede also took out a flashlight, but the result was the same as You Sicong's. No light shot out.
"There's no need to look for a flashlight. I'm guessing that there's a magic circle here, a magic circle that can absorb all light!"
Guhan's voice suddenly sounded coldly. "If I'm not wrong, this should be the Dark Night Goddess Nix's sect. There's a magic circle called the Dark Night Vortex. I'm afraid we're in the Dark Night Vortex right now!"
"Dark Night Vortex?
If that's the case, then we're in big trouble! "Magic Pen's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but it must be very ugly.
"What evidence do you have to prove that this is the Dark Night Vortex?"
"It's simple. Take this!"
Guhan handed an item to Magic Pen. Magic Pen took the item and touched it with his hand. He immediately guessed the origin of the item. "This is a lighter?"
"That's right, it's a lighter.
If the flashlight can break, then the flame can't damage it.
You'll know once you try the flame! "Guhan said in a deep voice.
Then, there was a click. This was the sound of a lighter being pressed. Sure enough, the darkness was still darkness, and no flame appeared.
In order to confirm, Magic Pen placed his finger above the lighter and immediately felt a strong heat.
The lighter was not broken. The flame was real, but the light produced by the flame had disappeared.
"All team members, immediately release your Famed Sword-level Swordladies into their Swordlady forms. The enemy may launch a surprise attack on us at any time!"
After confirming that it was the Dark Night Vortex, Magic Pen immediately gave the order. The team members released their Swordladies into their Swordlady forms.
However, the sparks of light that should have been present when the Sword Maiden was released were nowhere to be seen. This once again proved the existence of the Dark Night Vortex.
A few seconds later, countless fragrances appeared in the middle of this terrible mess of men, and the swordmaidens were all freed.
To Guhan's left, he could clearly feel a cold iron armor. It was Steel Centipede's swordmistress, Arondate.
On the right, there was a body fragrance that was not very tall, but it smelled very sweet. It was so sweet that it made people feel like they were poisoned.
This was ambergris, the unique scent of You Sicong's sword lady.
"Reporting, Captain! The Military Governor did not release his Swordmaiden!"
Steel Centipede, who was standing beside Guhan, noticed that Guhan hadn't released the Sword Maiden, so he immediately snitched to his captain.
"Military Governor, this is a critical moment. I hope you won't forget your promise. You are now my chess piece," Magic Brush said coldly.
"I am the Sword Master, trust me!" Guhan replied confidently, "I am more useful than King Yue."
… …
"According to the information, the Dark Night Vortex is a formation used by the believers of the Goddess of Night Nix in the Western Temple of Light. It can borrow the power of the Goddess of Night Nix to absorb all the light in the formation, causing this place to be in a state of eternal darkness!" Magic Brush began to explain the Dark Night Vortex to his teammates.
"Boss, if this is really the Dark Night Vortex, then doesn't that mean that the Night Witch might also be here!"
Steel Centipede's voice was trembling. He didn't expect that the reputation of the Night Witch would make a big man like Steel Centipede feel afraid.
"It's not possible, it's definitely … Shadow Bearing is behind me."
Halfway through his conversation with Steel Centipede, Magic Brush's voice suddenly became hurried. A gust of wind could be felt blowing past everyone, and after a moment, that gust of wind came back.
"Dear friend, sorry to let the Night Witch escape."
This was a somewhat hoarse female voice. It sounded like the feeling of gravel rubbing against one's skin. This voice should be Magic Brush's swordmistress, Shadow Bearing Sword.
"It's very normal. Unless it's a Spirit Sword level sword wielder, who else can catch a Night Witch trying to escape in the Dark Night Vortex?"
Magic Brush didn't blame him, but instead comforted Shadow Bearing. Indeed, the difficulty of catching a Night Witch in the Dark Night Vortex was similar to catching a small fish in the sea.
Night Witch was the family of the Goddess of Night Nix. They were originally just mortals, but they were transformed into the Night Witch race by Nix's power.
The Night Witch race was the darling of the night. Their bodies were like ink, blending into the darkness of the night and then evolving into any possible form.
This form could be a beautiful woman, a young child, a dog, a cat, a cloud of smoke, a wall, or even a dagger or a machine gun.
As long as the Night Witch had enough magic power and enough analysis of the changing target, then they could transform.
Although the Night Witch was only a Flood Dragon level Yuan Kou, with their physique, they were like fish in water in the dark. Fighting with the Night Witch in a place without any light was simply courting death.
"They're coming!"
You Sicong's Sword Lady, who was standing on the right of Guhan, moved, and a crisp sword cry could be heard. This was You Sicong's Sword Lady fighting with the Night Witch.
In the pitch black space, no enemies could be seen, only the crisp sword cries could be heard. This kind of terrifying atmosphere would make everyone fall into madness.
"There's more!"
Guhan felt two more murderous intents targeting the team. You Siyu's Mandarin Duck let out a delicate yell. He didn't know where she was, but she was fighting with the two new Night Witches.
"Not only that …" Magic Brush's Sword Lady, Shadow Bearing, also charged out because there were two more murderous intents. This meant that there were already five Night Witches in the dark.
Mandarin Duck, Shadow Bearing, these three Sword Ladies were worthy of being the top Sword Ladies among the famous swords. In a situation where they had completely lost their sight, they were actually unable to separate from the five Night Witches.
For example, the current battle between Mandarin Duck, Shadow Bearing was like asking a blind person to cut a fruit.
This also proved that the three Sword Ladies' sword skills were very high. If you let King Yue fight like this, it would be a huge question whether he could even touch his opponent after ten minutes.
"Here they come again!" Another three sharp murderous intents. This meant that three more Night Witches had joined the battle.
If they joined in on one of the three Sword Ladies, then that Sword Lady would definitely not be able to hold on.
It seemed like only Guhan had to do it himself!
Guhan sniffed the source of the murderous intents. Halfway, he swept his King Yue Sword horizontally and used the space to block a dagger that suddenly appeared.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, the dagger instantly dissipated into a cloud of smoke, but at the same time, behind Gu Han, two more daggers formed and pierced towards Gu Han's back.
Guhan twisted his body and dodged the two fatal daggers. Immediately, the two daggers disappeared just like the previous one.
"You want to leave?"
Guhan snorted coldly and suddenly stabbed his armpit with his King Yue Sword. He felt as if he had stabbed a ball of jelly.
Then he heard a mournful scream. Guhan knew that his attack had hit its mark.
"Kill … Kill … Kill …"
Guhan's hit seemed to have triggered some switch. More than ten new murderous intents appeared at the same time. This meant that more than ten Night Witches had appeared in the whirlpool of the night.
These Night Witches ignored the Sword Ladies and Guhan who were fighting with their clansmen and directly targeted Wondrous Pen and the others who were standing in a circle.
At this moment, other than Alondette who was still by Steel Centipede's side, only a group of unarmed swordbearers were left.
One could imagine the terrifying damage a group of Night Witches would cause if they charged into the swordbearers.
Not everyone was like Guhan, who could cut fruit blindfolded.
Against these terrifying Night Witches, even Wondrous Pen could only run for his life without the Sword Lady's protection. He had no ability to resist.
"Not good, Steel Centipede, order Alondette to raise his shield!" Wondrous Pen gave Steel Centipede the order almost at the same time the Night Witches charged at him.
"Alondette, raise your shield!"
Steel Centipede ordered and a giant shield appeared on Alondette's wrist. Alondette raised it above his head and all sorts of banging sounds could be heard. This was the sound of the Night Witches' weapons attacking Alondette's giant shield.
This was Alondette's advanced skill, Round Table Giant Shield.
"Advanced Skill: Round Table Giant Shield – Consumes 1500 sword energy per second. Allows Alondette to raise the giant shield on his arm and absorb all damage within ten square meters. Damage is reduced by 30%. Lasts for a maximum of 60 seconds. Cooldown of 3 minutes."
"Captain, Alondette can only last for 60 seconds. What should we do after 60 seconds?" Steel Centipede asked anxiously.
"Why don't we use Double Sword Combination!
We can kill these Night Witches in one move. "
Double Sword Lady was a skill that could only be used by Double Sword Ladies. It was equivalent to using two ultimate skills at the same time. Its power was astonishing. Double Sword Combination was an area of effect skill. As long as it was used, it could instantly kill all the Night Witches.
However, this was Wondrous Pen's final trump card. Double Sword Combination's cooldown was calculated in hours. Double Sword Combination's cooldown was a full five hours. Wondrous Pen still had great use for this skill.
"No!"
Wondrous Pen decisively refused. "If we use our ultimate skill now, what should we do in a few hours?"
