Aili had always been a swift and decisive person. Early the next morning, she called Yue Cai and asked her to bring a big box to artificial island No. 12.
"Senpai, do I need to stay?"
Yue Cai had also learned about the "Shadow Time" from Aili. She was quite surprised that such a strange thing would appear, so she naturally wanted to stay and investigate.
"Of course. You can try. It'll be even better if you can move around during the Shadow Time."
Aili naturally did not mind Yue Cai staying. In fact, if Yue Cai could stay, she would be a great help to their exploration of the tower. However, the strange Shadow Time was really picky, so Aili was not sure if Yue Cai could successfully move around during the Shadow Time.
She could only wait and see.
"Miss Aili, what's this?"
Kirito Miki came over at this time. She was stunned when she saw the metal box next to Yue Cai that was only a head shorter than her. The box looked no different from an ordinary suitcase, except that it was a lot bigger, and it gave off a high-tech vibe ….
"Oh, this is the weapon I'm going to use …. I prepared it last night. It looks pretty good now."
While speaking, Aili stretched out her finger and pressed a fingerprint reader on the top of the box. Then, a soft "puchi" sound was heard. The metal box that seemed to be a single piece suddenly split apart layer by layer, and then the contents inside were displayed in front of everyone.
There were shotguns, grenades, sniper rifles, grenade launchers ….
"This is …."
Looking at the box that looked like a small arsenal in front of her, Kirijou Mizuru was stunned, and Takechi next to her also felt dizzy. She didn't expect that the things she dragged all the way here were actually such dangerous things!
"Sometimes, I still believe in the advantage of firepower."
Aili stretched out her hand and stuffed the weapons into her cloak. She looked like a magician performing magic, but in fact, for someone like her who could now freely manipulate time and space, this was just a practical application of Frenda's "Spatial Shift" ability.
Even if her ability and magic could not directly affect those shadow monsters, they could still be used as support.
After traversing through so many worlds, Ailey had long since learned to find a way to fight in any situation.
If it weren't for the fact that ordinary machines couldn't move during Shadow Time, Aili would have brought hundreds of Templar Guardians to wipe out Tartarus.
However, since physical attacks were effective, he would strengthen his physical attacks to the limit.
Insufficient firepower? Is this even a question?
After storing all the weapons in the box, Alice reached for a cane from the box. She weighed it in her hand and nodded in satisfaction.
During the battle against the Third True Ancestor, Aili had discovered that her height was still a problem even if she attacked with the Wolf Sword Art as a spirit — the Wolf Sword Art required more height and strength than just for show. It was a practical requirement.
Currently, Aili was only slightly taller than the other girls around Fangzheng. She barely reached the passing line, but it was still too strenuous for her to wield the sword.
However, Fangzheng had traversed several worlds, so he quickly thought of a solution to the problem.
If the undead squad couldn't hold them off, wouldn't it be the same to use the Yanan Hunters?
Compared to the Wolf Sword Art, the Yanan Hunters' fighting style didn't require as much height and strength, and it was more flexible, which was more suitable for a petite character like Aili.
Therefore, Aili ordered the robots in the Glory of Higra to start producing a large number of weapons. Apart from firearms, there was also this extendable cane sword that Fangzheng had obtained in the Yanan world.
Seeing the fully armed Aili, Miki Kirijou was dumbfounded. It was not that she had never seen a Mage Attacker before, but to Miki Kirijou, this kind of Mage Attacker … seemed to be different from the others.
In any case, this at least gave Miki Kirijou a sense of security. Her branch did not have such good treatment and authority. Now that she saw so many powerful weapons, she felt a lot more at ease.
Soon, a day passed. Late at night the next day, Aili and the others, led by Miki Kirijou and Sanada Akihiko, arrived at the place where Tartarus appeared.
"Is this the place? Isn't this a school? "
Seeing the Moonlight House Academy in front of her, Kirito Melody asked curiously. Because she also had the talent to use Persona, she was persuaded by Kirito Miki and Miki Kirijou to join the party. In addition, Yukari Yue, whom Aili and the others had met the day before, was also with them. There was also Aili's little follower, Yukari Kirito.
Everyone was fully armed. Miki Kirijou was holding a rapier. For some reason, the young lady seemed to like to use rapiers as weapons. This reminded Aili of Asuna ….
Sanada Akihiko was wearing a pair of iron boxing gloves. It was said that he was a member of the school's boxing club, so he had his own unique skills in fighting.
Yukari Yue was holding a bow and arrows. She was a member of the archery club, so she had a certain level of skill in this area. In fact, Aili originally wanted to ask her to use a gun, but Yukari Yue hesitated for a long time before refusing. This was normal. Unlike Aili who could directly summon a Persona, Yukari Yue needed the gun as a summoning tool to summon a Persona. If she was too nervous and picked up the wrong gun, she might end up shooting herself in the head with a real gun …. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
As for Kirito Melody, she was holding a long sword. It looked like a simplified version of the Guan Gong's Katana. Aili could not help but look at it curiously. She rarely saw people using this kind of weapon. She did not expect this ordinary-looking girl in front of her to have experience in this area.
"You'll know when you see it."
Miki Kirijou did not immediately answer Kirito Melody's question. She just glanced at her watch.
"Time's up."
As Miki Kirito's voice faded, the clock on her watch reached 12 o 'clock.
At the same time, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Aili stretched out her hand and knocked on the coffin next to her. It was Yukari Yue. It seemed that she was not as lucky as the others.
"No problem."
Miki Kirijou nodded.
"The shadows won't attack these coffins. They'll only attack the people lingering in the shadow time. But that's not the problem now. Look …."
While saying that, Miki Kirijou raised her head. At the same time, in front of everyone, the tall building of Moonlight House Academy began to gradually distort and change.
It was a change that looked like plasticine being compressed and elongated. The twisting tall building seemed to have turned into some kind of living worm, raising its body to face the night sky. Then, under everyone's gaze, it turned into a twisted tower that towered into the clouds.
Seeing this, Aili couldn't help but raise her brows. Yue Yu, You Jiali, and Xi Jian Qin were also astonished.
"It's here."
After the transformation was over, Miki Kirijou stretched out her hand to push open the school gate.
"Be careful."
After pushing open the gate, everyone slowly walked into the tower.
The tower in front of them was empty except for a long staircase in the middle that led to the door on the second floor. Apart from that, there was nothing else — Huh? Something's not right?
While Aili was looking around, she saw a blue door not far from the left side of the hall. Aili seemed to have some impression of this door. If she remembered correctly, she had seen a similar door in the "Velvet Room" last night when she summoned her Persona.
However, the others did not seem to notice this, except for one person.
Aili saw Kirito Melody walk to the door. She looked around curiously, then pushed the door open. Then, Kirito saw that Melody's whole body was frozen in place without any reaction.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yue Yu and Jiali walked over and patted Zither Yin's shoulder out of curiosity when they saw that Zither Yin was in a daze. Only then did Zither Yin return to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. However, Zither Yin seemed to have realized that no one else could see the door, so she casually said a few words and brushed the matter aside.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Ali-san."
At this time, Miki Kirito also walked over and stuffed a headset into Aili's hand.
"I will be responsible for monitoring this place. You can bring the others up to check the situation. Akihiko knows the way, and he will tell you how to get there."
"Okay."
Aili took the headset and nodded. Then, she looked at the others.
"Let's go."
What Miki Kirito said was true. In this tower that they called "Tartarus," the number and threat of the shadows were indeed on a different level compared to the outside world.
In the city outside, the shadows were basically two or three kittens. As long as there were enough people, it was easy to deal with them. But after entering the tower, the number of shadow monsters was almost like a guard. There was a sentry every few steps. If this was the kind of RPG that stepped on landmines, just the frequency of monsters was enough to annoy the players to death.
"Gaahhh — —!!!"
Accompanied by a scream, several shadow monsters pounced out from both sides of the corridor. They looked very strange. They looked like monsters from myths and legends. Not only were their appearances distorted, but they were also different from the shadow monsters they encountered last night that could only attack with physical attacks. These monsters could also use some magical abilities to attack.
At first, Xi Jian's Melody, Yue Yu, and You Jiali, who had never been on the battlefield before, were flustered. However, after fighting a few times in a row, they gradually adapted to battle. Facing the shadow in front of them, Xi Jian Kotoshi raised her Bisento and rushed forward with Sanada Akihiko. Behind them, Yue Yu and Yu Jiali drew their bows and shot an arrow. The arrow pierced through the head of a shadow monster and killed it.
The three of them tangled with the shadow monsters in front while Aili was responsible for guarding the back. These monsters were not as disciplined as the monsters in the RPG games. Other than Aili, who had rich combat experience, only Sanada Akihiko had fought with Umbra before. Yue Yu, Yu Jiali, and Shimane Kotoshi were still new to the game, so they did not have this kind of awareness.
If Aili didn't care about the back, they would have been ambushed several times already.
"Gaahhh!!"
Looking at the Shadow Creature that was flying in the air and charging towards her, Alice let out a low grunt. The sword in her hand suddenly split into a chain sword and struck the Shadow Creature to the ground. At the same time, the other two monsters, who seemed to be wearing a crown and a mask, with only their heads flying in the air, rushed toward Aili from the left and right.
Facing the enemies in front of her, Aili raised the revolver in her left hand without hesitation. Along with her movement, a tarot card appeared out of thin air and spun down.
“Persona！！”
While shouting, Aili pulled the trigger. At this moment, the tarot card that had fallen into the muzzle of the revolver was shattered. Immediately after, Shito appeared again with the white bear. The howling cold air turned into a tornado that swept the entire corridor, tearing all the shadow monsters that rushed toward them into pieces.
For Aili, these shadow monsters were not a problem. If there were only one or two, she would use the gun in her hand and the sword to kill them. If there were too many enemies, she would summon Shito to use a large wave of AOE skills to wipe them out. Just like that, under Aili's protection, the group quickly reached the depths of the courtyard on the second floor.
"It's here."
When they reached the intersection, Sanada Akihiko could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then looked at Aili and nodded at her gratefully.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Aili. You two too. It's really easier with more people. When I came here alone before, I was so tired …"
"Understandable."
Aili also nodded at Sanada Akihiko's words. Judging from the number of shadow monsters they encountered just now, even if there were four of them fighting at the same time, it would still be difficult. Sanada Akihiko coming here alone was indeed quite a dangerous move.
But now …
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Aili walked forward and squinted at the passage in front of her. From the outside, it seemed to be a very ordinary passage. But under the dim light inside the passage, she could vaguely see the rolling fog.
"That's right."
Sanada Akihiko nodded.
"It was like this when we came here before. When it rained, the fog would dissipate and be replaced by a door."
"A door …?"
Aili frowned at Sanada Akihiko's answer. She stared at the fog in front of her and pondered.
It seemed that the situation was very complicated.
