After the fire disappeared mysteriously, the grayish black smoke completely covered Rasudran.
Samantha and Kanter were not far from the Southern Outskirts, in the central area. This area had been hit by the meteors and suffered the most damage. Almost all the buildings were in ruins. This was why they chose to land here. First, it was closer to the Southern Outskirts, and second, it was to avoid being discovered by the demons.
But all of a sudden, Samantha felt her hair stand on end.
"Kanter, do you hear the sound of water dripping?" Samantha lowered her voice and asked Kanter with a serious expression.
Kanter was counting the loot he had just obtained. He turned back and asked, "Why is there water dripping here? It's the sound of burning tar, right?"
Samantha did not know what the sound was, but ever since she heard it, she had been in a state of unease. She felt that there was a pair of sinister eyes spying on them.
As the smoke grew larger and larger, Samantha's vigilance was raised to the extreme.
Kanter saw Samantha's serious expression and calmed down a little. Samantha didn't seem to be acting. Was there really something wrong with her?
"I'll take a look at the night." Kanter also had a serious expression.
But just as Kanter was about to activate his night bloodline …
Drip —
The sound of water dripping rang out again. This time, it was not only Samantha who heard it, but Kanter too!
"It is indeed the sound of water dripping. But it seems to be coming from beside us?" Kanter turned his head and looked around. Smoke filled the air, and the ruins of the buildings were faintly discernible in the thick smoke. The buildings in Demon City were shockingly large, and it looked like there was a terrifying monster in the thick smoke.
The wind blew, and the smoke surged. Kanter and Samantha moved at almost the same time, back to back, looking around vigilantly.
Drip — Another drop of water fell. This time, Kanter and Samantha both caught the location of the drop, because it landed on Samantha's skirt.
Translucent water droplets rolled down her glass-like dress and melted into the steaming hot ground that was covered in smoke.
Since the water droplets landed on Samantha's skirt, then the source … They immediately looked up at the sky.
"What's that?!" Samantha pointed at the dark mist above her head.
"Clouds?" Kanter's pupils constricted. "Rain clouds?"
They did not know when, but a layer of low clouds had floated over their heads. The low clouds covered the burning sky. Coupled with the thick smoke around them, it was as if they were trapped in a dark world of smoke and clouds.
Drip, drip, drip, drip — This time, it wasn't just a few drops of water that fell, but a continuous drizzle that poured down like rain.
The heavy rain seemed to be washing away the filthy city.
The first intimate contact between the rainwater and the scorching ground was accompanied by the hissing sound of steam. A large amount of mist was generated from the soles of their feet. The already dark smoke, coupled with the water vapor, completely blocked their vision.
"Pitter patter patter." This was a soft and seductive female voice that pierced through the dense sound of falling rain.
Samantha and Kanter raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound, but they could not see anything because of the thick smoke.
"Drip." The female voice came again, but this time, it was not in the same place, but in the opposite direction.
Samantha did not see the figure, but Kanter saw it. Although it was just a glimpse, he vaguely saw a woman holding a white umbrella, flashing in the rain and fog.
The dripping sound came again.
"I see it. It's in the northeast," Samantha said softly. "It's a woman holding an umbrella."
"Southwest?" "Huh, she went to the southeast?"
In the thick smoke, the strange woman holding an umbrella was everywhere. Every time she appeared, she would leave a shadow and then disappear. She muttered "drip." as if she was imitating the sound of the rain, but also mocking the people in the rain.
"Deliberately mystifying!" Samantha snorted coldly. When she was training in the past, she had encountered many ghosts that occupied castles. This kind of ghost liked to play the same trick as the woman with the umbrella in front of her. Shadows were everywhere, accompanied by eerie voices, and the owner of the castle was so scared that he didn't dare to take a step forward.
But Samantha knew very well that the ghosts who were playing tricks were mostly undead who were not strong individually. If they were strong enough to move the material world, they would not need to scare people at all. Wouldn't it be easier to just kill them?
Samantha's eyes flashed with cold light. When she heard the dripping sound again, she decisively reached out her hand. A terrifying energy cannon shot through the curtain of rain and blasted towards the figure that flashed past in an instant.
However, the attack did not hit. The woman with the umbrella hid in the thick smoke again.
"Using the rain to clear the pheromones, the sound of the rain to cover the sound of footsteps, and the smoke to cut off the vision … Ha, you're still too naive to use such tricks against wizards." Samantha's eyes flashed with mockery. Her hands faintly glowed and turned into crystal clear glass. Then, she reached out her hands and pressed on the ground without hesitation.
The black ground immediately turned into crystal clear glass. And with Samantha as the center, it spread out rapidly and crazily.
Glass Realm! As long as she was within the range of the Glass Realm, Samantha could grasp all the information.
If the woman with the umbrella still wanted to set up a deceptive formation and create some ghostly shadows, it was absolutely impossible.
Samantha thought confidently. However, just as Samantha expanded the area within a radius of several hundred meters into a glass barrier, the pitter-patter sound rang out again.
Moreover, the sound came from right in front of them.
"How is this possible?!" Samantha cried out in surprise and raised her head.
Not far in front of them, in the white mist, a noblewoman in a luxurious robe stood on the glass ground with an exquisite white umbrella.
Her appearance could not be seen clearly due to the cover of the umbrella, but the dripping sound came from within the umbrella.
"Why can't I sense her aura at all?" Samantha's eyes flashed with shock. She was clearly standing in front of her, but the Glass Realm did not give her any feedback. It was as if there was nothing in front of her, just an illusion … No, even if it was an illusion, there should be energy fluctuations!
The woman with the umbrella in front of her did not stir up any smoke or fire from the Glass Realm. There were only two possibilities.
This was a silent projection.
Or rather, she was not in this world at all!
There were many wizard spells that could allow one to escape into another dimension. For example, the Phantasmal Body could transform into phantoms and not be in this world. Another example was Divine Concealment, which was the most powerful concealment spell at the moment.
Samantha guessed that the woman might have escaped into another dimension.
As for which dimension, it was hard to say. The wizard world had many different dimensions, and the Abyss had even more. In the face of such an enemy, Samantha's first reaction was, "Ignore her. Let's leave immediately."
Escaping into another dimension was not easy to deal with, so there was no need to waste time. After all, the woman could not attack the main world from another dimension.
Thinking of this, Samantha and Kanter immediately split up, bypassing the woman holding the umbrella in front of them and running into the distance.
When they passed by the woman with the umbrella, Samantha secretly glanced at her.
She still could not see the woman's full face, but she could see the lower half of her face, especially her lips.
As they ran past the woman and were about to enter the thick smoke, a gentle and seductive female voice rang out again. "Pitter, pitter, pitter …"
Samantha's intuition moved as soon as she heard the voice.
She had not canceled the Glass Barrier yet. At this moment, she suddenly sensed a terrifying movement beneath the barrier.
Samantha was taken aback. "Not good! There's something underground! Be careful!"
But it was too late. Two giant tentacles broke through the glass on the ground and directly appeared behind them. Samantha used all her strength to flip over and pointed at the coordinates of the Glass Barrier in the air. She stepped on the ground and landed not far away.
On the other hand, Kanter heard Samantha's call very late, but he was very good at staying alive. With a thought, Kanter's clear silhouette turned into an illusory shadow as if it had been smeared with water. It was as if he had gone from a three-dimensional world to a two-dimensional one.
The shadow moved a few steps horizontally and dodged the tentacles' attack. Only then did Kanter's body turn from a shadow to a real one.
The two of them displayed their respective abilities and safely dodged the sneak attack. However, their complexions did not improve. That was because the woman in front of them had finally revealed her ferocious claws from the dense cloud of suspicion.
The rain was like a curtain, showing no signs of stopping. When the rain fell on the ground, it was accompanied by a crisp sound. The ground kept breaking open and countless tentacles drilled out of the ground.
These tentacles were incomparably large, with barbs and compound eyes. They looked like the tentacles of some overlord in the deep sea.
At this moment, Samantha and Kanter were surrounded by countless tentacles.
They now understood why the woman with the umbrella kept appearing and disappearing around them. It was because she was building a cage made of tentacles!
As the tentacles broke through the ground, the woman with the umbrella slowly rose into the air with a string of laughter.
Or rather … she was surrounded by countless tentacles in the air. Because the woman had no legs under her skirt, she was actually a terrifying tentacle.
It was only then that Samantha and Kanter saw the other party's identity.
It was a Great Demon.
Previously, when they were on the floating ice, they clearly saw this Great Demon with tentacles leave the Void Tower and disappear to an unknown location. They did not notice it before because she had hidden her tentacles underground.
Now, with her fangs bared, she had completely revealed her body.
She was huge, terrifying, and filled with endless pressure.
The strange sound came again, but this time, Samantha and Kanter finally realized that it was not the Great Demon that spoke, but the umbrella in her hand.
The umbrella opened its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth. The soft and gentle female voice came from this mouth.
