Under the night sky.
As time passed, a faint gray fog floated around the two of them.
It was not a fog formed by condensation of water vapor, but a gray fog similar to smog. It was mostly composed of sulphides and was an acid fog caused by excessive industrialization. It was extremely harmful to the human body.
"This is not an ordinary acid fog. There is the smell of magic in it."
Ryuga turned her gaze and looked at the gray fog around her, feeling the abnormality in it.
"It is very likely to be some kind of enchantment skill or relic. There is a legend of Jack the Ripper killing people in the fog. It should be her."
Jack the Ripper was a serial killer who appeared in London in the 19th century.
In the 19th century, England had just embarked on the high-speed train of industrialization. The entire country was vigorously industrializing, causing the environment to be greatly polluted and smog rampant. Therefore, London was also called the "City of Fog" at that time.
Jack the Ripper used the gray fog at that time to assassinate five prostitutes in a row.
His hunting was irrational and he even sent letters to the news media to incite fear. At that time, London was in a state of panic. Until he disappeared, the English police did not find any trace of him.
He was known as the ancestor of serial killers. Until now, the name Jack the Ripper was extremely well-known on a global scale.
When Ryuga was in Chaldea, she had met Jack the Ripper there, so she knew a lot about him.
"Cough cough …"
Fiore was also on guard against the fog around her, but suddenly her expression changed slightly and she coughed a few times. Her exposed skin and even her eyeballs were tingling.
"Oh no! This acid fog is very corrosive. Even if I use strengthening magic, it is useless. We have to leave here as soon as possible … Speaking of which, which way did we come in from? "
The acid fog was extremely corrosive. Even Fiore, who had excellent magic talent, could not defend against it. If it was an ordinary person, they might die from the corrosion of their organs in less than a minute.
Ryuga had the magic robe and the defense of the Ghost King's body was not bad, so she could basically ignore the acid fog.
Not only that, when Fiore tried to leave the acid fog, she suddenly froze. Looking at the several forks and alleys around her, she suddenly could not remember which way she had come in and which way she should go out.
It seemed that the demonic fog also had the effect of interfering with one's thinking, causing problems with one's sense of direction and causing them to be trapped in the fog.
"Whoosh!"
Ryuga waved her hand and a large flame scattered from her hand, forming a flame-like tornado that swept away the demonic fog within a 20-meter radius.
After the demonic fog was swept away by the flames, Fiore immediately felt much better. The stabbing pain on her body disappeared, and even her sense of direction was restored.
"It's that way! Saber, let's quickly leave this demonic fog! "
After regaining her sense of direction, Fiore immediately recognized her surroundings. She hurriedly asked Liuxia for help.
"Okay."
Liu Xia agreed without hesitation and immediately pushed Fiore out of the demonic mist.
With the flame opening a path, the two quickly escaped from the area covered by the demonic fog and arrived at a clean and empty space.
"Phew … We've finally escaped. What a dangerous demonic fog."
Fiore put down the handkerchief that was covering her nose and mouth, looking with some lingering fear at the dense demonic fog behind her. She heaved a sigh of relief and then frowned.
"They attacked us so suddenly. Does Jack the Ripper have no intention of communicating with us?"
"Probably."
Ryuga let go of the hand that was holding the chair and then materialized the He Dao in her hand. At the same time, her eyes were cold and she stared at them.
"This way, it's more appropriate to treat them as a third party outside of the black and red teams."
In the dark night.
A petite figure silently flipped over the high walls and eaves. She was as agile as a ghost in midair, holding two single-edged knives in her hands as she quickly pounced in the direction of Ryuga and Fiore.
"Clang!"
In an instant, as if she had predicted her arrival, Liu Xia abruptly turned around and swung her saber, blocking the two daggers with incomparable precision.
"Eh?"
The petite figure was wearing a grayish-black cloak, and a surprised voice came from her mouth.
"How can you detect our movements?"
It was a young girl with short silver-white hair. Her bright eyes were emerald green, and she wore black tights under her cloak. Her hands, which were holding onto her blade, were wrapped in white bandages.
Her ability to hide her presence was quite strong, not at all inferior to Ryuga's. Her ability to hide her presence was probably at least A rank or above, so she should be very confident in her sneak attack ability. She was quite puzzled that Ryuga could see through her movements.
"If we're talking about assassination methods, you're still far from it."
Ryuga's eyes slightly sharpened, and then she used her right hand to block the two knives. At the same time, her left hand released the other He Dao and slashed down.
"Oh!"
The petite girl frowned, and faced Ryuga's counterattack, she hurriedly retreated.
The sharp sword aura vibrated in the air, and followed closely behind, shooting rapidly in her direction.
However, her body was quite agile, and she adjusted her posture in midair, dodging the sword aura by a hair's breadth.
"Jack the Ripper, who is your master now?"
Only after this round of confrontation had ended did Fiore regain her senses. She immediately spoke to the girl in front of her sternly, "You should be a servant of our black side. If you're willing to join us now, we can let bygones be bygones —"
"I don't want to!"
The silver-haired girl was like a weightless feather that was attached to the wall in midair. She heard Fiore's words and used a cute voice to coldly reject Fiore's invitation.
"We only want to be with our mother. We don't want to listen to anyone's orders!"
She directly made a face at Fiore, and then her body did not stop at all. She retreated like a bat, and her figure disappeared into the demonic fog behind her.
When Fiore saw this, she could not help but show a troubled expression.
"Archer, can you hear what I'm saying? Can you see Assassin's figure now? Can you snipe her? "
She hurriedly sent a message to Karong to inquire about it.
"I'm very sorry, master … I'm also in a bit of trouble here!"
Karon's voice was intermittent, and he seemed to be using the magic circuit between the two of them to draw magic power from her.
"I've encountered Saber from the red side, and now I'm in a difficult battle. I can't snipe Assassin … You must be careful on your side!"
