There are two possibilities in this situation.
First, they didn't know when they entered an existence similar to the enemy's secret realm, but secret realms cannot be built easily. If they had similar abilities, the sixteen of them would have died several times already.
The most likely possibility is that those positions were all lost, just like the previous police station.
"Boss, what should we do?"
McGee placed the huge serrated knife diagonally on the ground. The blood on the weapon flowed smoothly along the edge of the knife, and the magic steel weapon regained its cold and clean color.
"Something is wrong. The army's strength should not be underestimated. Even if evil spirits have begun to appear, they should not be defeated so strangely, especially since they have a lot of heavy weapons."
The current feeling reminded Blaise of a special secret realm on Dawn Silent Moon Island - the Red Banshee Testing Hall.
There is a place where members of the Knights Templar receive mental training in a magical illusion environment. The most famous training program is the "Lonely Island".
At this moment, the sixteen members of the Knights Templar were like being on an isolated island. Except for the occasional roars of monsters, everything around them seemed very quiet.
"Has everyone in the city been killed?"
A reserve soldier wearing a heavy magic steel fist blade on his arm asked in a low voice.
"No, there won't be many alive, but there are definitely some."
Everyone spoke in a very low voice, using hoarse voice control techniques to make the sound travel a very short distance.
It is not an easy task to search for the survivors scattered around the city one by one.
Moreover, there must be more special monsters appearing. The other side is a whole different world. It is impossible that it will always be those small fry from before.
Blaise is the team leader now, so naturally he has to think like a leader.
"We will carefully approach the direction where the association's secret realm was originally located to see if we can find the members guarding the secret realm. If we don't find any, we will consider evacuating here."
The Dawn members are physically strong, so the noise they make in battle will naturally be loud. Plus, with the mutual imprints they sense each other, if those people are still alive, there is a greater chance that they will be found.
"Let's go, be careful around you..."
While Blaise was speaking, he suddenly winked at everyone, and the magic power in his arms quietly flowed into his eyes.
Just now, he felt his arm slightly hot, which meant that something threatening him had appeared.
The other fifteen people set off again with Blaise, but they all tacitly used the magic power that they had been reluctant to use all night.
A strange thing was floating around, and it felt like a sticky black smoke. The main body of the smoke seemed discontinuous, and it followed the movement of the crowd in sections.
"Black shadow, I've never seen anything like this before..."
The reservists glanced at each other, indicating that they were ready.
Blaise suddenly raised his arm, and a magic steel hand cannon appeared in his hand. The other fifteen people either took out hand cannons from their waists or from their "portable pockets", and they were clearly holding hand cannons in their hands.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”…
Sixteen thunderous gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, accompanied by flashes of fire, followed by the next round, and the next.
The standard model of the magic steel hand cannon has a capacity of 12 rounds, and everyone stopped after firing 8 rounds in a row.
Blaise jumped to the place where he had just hit the target, and saw only some ash-like stuff without any smell.
"What is this?"
McGee landed beside him, carrying a serrated knife.
"There is a corpse of this monster... humph!"
Before he could even utter the word "ma", McGee subconsciously dodged to the left, but he was still a step too late.
There was a flash of blood, and a right arm with the magic steel weapon tightly grasped was broken at the shoulder, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
At that moment Blaise moved. He rushed towards McGee like a mad bull, carrying him with him at high speed to a dozen meters away.
Another reserve leaped up and caught McGee's arm and weapon.
"Damn bastards!! It's my shadow!"
McGee's face turned slightly pale as he stuffed the petals of the Flower of Life into his mouth.
The members of the Knights settled not far from the two men, not daring to be negligent at all. A strange feeling told them that the monster was staring at them.
But now, although the magic power in their bodies is hot, it cannot directly help them see through it. At most, it can improve their reaction speed.
The next moment after it became quiet, Blaise suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and suddenly jumped to the side with McGee, but the sense of crisis did not disappear, but became more intense. Suddenly, he raised the magic steel hand cannon and turned around to block it.
"Dang~"
The loud noise appeared and disappeared along with the flying sparks.
Blaise caught a glimpse of his own shadow bulging out of the corner of his eye and then returning to normal.
"It is indeed a creature from the Shadow Realm, and a magical creature at that!!"
The fifteen reservists reacted extremely quickly. Almost at the same time as they listened to Blaise's words, they each raised the magic steel weapons in their hands and slashed at the shadows that attacked them.
“Dang”, “Dang”, “Bang”, “Bang~”…
Except for one person who had a shallow scratch on his body, the others all narrowly avoided the fatal attacks that followed one after another.
"So many at once?"
McGee forced his shoulder muscles to tighten his wounds, took the arm and weapon handed to him by his companion, stuffed them all into his portable pocket, and held the magic steel hand cannon in his left hand.
Blaise was always keeping an eye on his surroundings.
"No, not that many. There is only one, and it was caught off guard and injured by us just now."
As they talked, everyone recalled some of the information they knew.
The Shadow World is not the Dark World where Mumu originally lived, nor is it an independent world. It is more like a name that defines the type of creatures. Because the normal world is a world of light and shadow, creatures from the Shadow World may appear in any world.
However, the appearance of creatures in the shadow world is often inexplicable. There is no gestation process, just like they suddenly pop out. However, they have some characteristics of life, such as the need to consume the nutrients they need, and also have some thinking ability and emotional desires.
Even those who can communicate with the creatures of the Shadow World often cannot clearly explain what happened before they appeared, and only have some vague memories.
Therefore, many powerful and knowledgeable magical creatures also believe that there is a very likely existence of a real shadow world, just as there is a very likely existence of a real world inside the mirror, which is an argument that cannot be confirmed.
It’s just that because Dawn has the magic eye, he has some say in what the world in the mirror says.
It can be said that the world in the mirror most likely does not exist. Those creatures that can appear through the mirror are mostly as tricky as the Magic Eye, and their methods are probably not as sophisticated as the Magic Eye. In order to maintain the sense of mystery, they never reveal it to the outside world.
"It should be said that being able to use our shadows to attack us shows that its magic control ability is not low, and it can already be classified as a magic controller from another world."
The member with the fist blade said so.
I don't say this casually.
The shadows of humans or living creatures are not just simple shadows, they also project part of their own spiritual power. So it makes sense that the elderly in some places don't let children play with their shadows.
The souls of the Knights Templar's reserve forces are already strong enough, and the sixteen people standing here can be said to have the hope of breaking through to the realm of formal knights.
Their shadows cannot be controlled by any creature in the shadow world.
"It seems that the guardian of the association's secret realm is in great danger!"
"It's impossible for the magical creature not to sense the magic in us. It dares to stay here because it is sure it can kill us all!"
When Blaise said this, his nose twitched slightly, and it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as his tone.
The people around also had anger written on their faces.
A large part of this is the grief over the death of his companions, as well as the anger at being looked down upon.
"Hehehe... We are being treated like small fry..."
“Hehehehe…” “Hahahaha…” “Heh…”
…
Including McGee, who had a broken arm, all sixteen people laughed, and the small laughter had a hint of madness and horror.
What changes along with it is everyone's body temperature.
The blood of the monsters on their bodies was affected by the heat and evaporated more water vapor. In addition, the heat from their bodies met the cold air around them. Under the starry sky at night, the sixteen people were shrouded in white mist.
The other party didn't take action probably because he felt that the situation on his side was still a bit tricky and wanted to waste time. I guess other monsters will be attracted here soon.
Time is still against everyone, and they don't have time to hesitate, because the existence of portable pockets makes many things more convenient.
"A mere monster dares to look down on us... I know you understand, our world can... take action!!"
Blaise barked out the order without finishing his sentence.
Eight of the sixteen people had already quietly prepared something, pulled the safety pin and counted down. After hearing Blaise's order, they threw the flash grenades in their hands to the directions they had calculated.
Less than a second after it was released, eight sounds of "bang", "bang", "bang" merged together and exploded into a strong light. The light appeared too suddenly, blocking all the blind spots and causing the shadows to disappear or turn around.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”…
The concrete road beneath my feet collapsed into eight cracked pits.
Eight figures narrowed their eyes and disappeared at the same moment the flash bomb exploded. The magic steel cold weapons in their hands were filled with magical aura and their own souls overflowed.
Creatures in the shadow world cannot hide in the shadows of living beings. Although they can rely on the shadows of dead objects to conceal themselves, they are living forms with bodies and images. They cannot really merge with their shadows, and they cannot teleport between shadows. If the shadow in which they are hiding is eliminated in an instant, they will be exposed.
'I don't believe your reaction speed can be faster than light!'
“Die!!!”
The blind spot of a house was originally covered vaguely, but under the illumination of the flash bomb, the shadow of the house disappeared instantly, revealing a sticky shadow there.
“Boom~” “Boom~” “Boom~”…
Magic steel weapons are not ordinary items, even the alloy magic steel is the same. The cold weapons with magic power have the destructive power of artillery shells. The house collapsed directly under the attack of eight people, and the shadow was beaten to pieces.
It was as if these eight people had anticipated where the monsters might be hiding before the flash bomb exploded, and decisively chose the most likely place so that they could attack at the moment of the explosion.
The tactical qualities of the Knights Templar members are evident.
This level of damage was not enough to cause death, but the second round of flash grenades corrected the angle at this moment and exploded in the air.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”…
This time it was gunfire.
Those dispersing shadows were just like the small clusters of sticky smoke at the beginning, and were fired wildly by the reservists with magic steel hand cannons that had been reloaded at who knows when.
The magic-breaking bullet can be launched without any cost.
Two seconds later, everything fell silent.
"It's not as simple as you think!"
Blaise then finished the sentence that had just tempted the other party to listen to but was suddenly interrupted, but the arm that had regained its warmth made him realize that the monster could not hear him.
The sixteen people feel that the magic power in their bodies does not belong to them. It is scarce but highly uncontrollable. As monsters in the shadow world who control living beings with magic power, they should be able to sense this.
Perhaps it had been on guard, but it instinctively thought that these sixteen people would not pose much of a threat, and perhaps it had not even thought about the appearance of the strong light.
