Episode 74 – Fa?ade (1/2)

Dusk’s head snapped back to look at his shoulder, where the head of Elaru Wayvin was supposed to be lying

Simultaneously, his hand attempted to push her away fro his shoulder as a pillow like she was supposed to be doing

She stared at him with a coy smirk, without any trace of a blush, sweat or any forood! Panic flashed in Dusk’s eyes as he realized that the ar Elaru aasn’t responding to his coirl, but his legs weren’t following his intentions either

They stood rooted to the spot

This was the moment in which Dusk realized he was in deep trouble As an elibu, he couldn’t use ic to make his body move All he could do was atteic so she would voluntarily move away from hi Instantly, he reacted by using a Morph spell on the rock tiles they were standing on His intention was to round and impale the redhead next to hie that happened was the paling of Dusk’s face

His Morph spell melted before it could fully form, like an ice creas were covered by a cloud of dense mana

Her mana

Dusk Rose already knew that aura of Elaru Wayvin was extreic inside the area covered by her aura, did Dusk Rose realize just how dense it really was

What covered their surroundings couldn’t be called an “aura”

What surrounded thee Armor

Since s, es would contain their e Armor The mana which wasn’t controlled would drift away ai an aura If aura was the water vapor, then the Mage Armor was the whirlpool of water

Elaru Wayvin possessed such a large density of e Ars

Since she was now pressed right against the body of Dusk Rose, she created an area all around theic

And worse still, if Dusk Rose wanted to use e Armor, he would need to direct his e Armor However, no matter how he tried to direct his mana to exit the sphere of mana around them, her mana constantly pushed it back towards the center

He was stuck inside a whirlpool And the only way for hiic was to use it in the area covered by his own Mage Are Ares, only covered his own body

Dusk Rose’s pupils shrunk He walked straight into a trap!! He allowed Elaru Wayvin to come close to hie Aric, he wouldn’t have realized that he was under her Mage Armor

Elaru Wayvin kne to conceal her own s, only revealing slight gaps, creating an illusion that the mana density around her was le moment, their situations had reversed

Now, Elaru was the one holding up his own body fro down

Dusk Rose desperately tried to coic that he could cast on his own body that would help him overcoel! If only he could cast Accelerate! Even if he couldn’t move his own body normally, he could cast Accelerate to make it move Not only could he Accelerate to escape her area of control but he could even use it to control his body like it was a puppet

Alas, he was an elibu

The demon that was Elaru Wayvin chuckled musically and twirled an acupuncture needle in her hand as if it was just a toy “No Don’t make any sudden moves” She warned in an overly cheerful tone that sent chills down Dusk’s spine “I only disabled your limbs Don’t force me to knock you out”

That’s when it dawned on Dusk why his body wasn’t

In his moment of distraction, she had inserted a needle inside his neck that blocked the nerves responsible forfroleam of determination flashed inside Dusk’s eyes, and he opened his mouth to scream for help, deteruardian of Muni would show up and help hiuardian that he had been most wary of this entire time would be the one creature he would hope to see the most

However, Elaru Wayvin was still one step ahead of hier over his lips seductively and hushed hi, I’ll be forced to turn you into a pin cushi+on”

Her soft and o cold His expression transfored look Since his other options were sealed, he needed to adopt a new tactic: stall for tirievance

He would make her think that she won and distract her while he came up with an escape plan Perhaps if he stalled for a while, the guardian would show up, and he wouldn’t need to do anything

Elaru Wayvin smiled a smile so radiant that it seemed as if the sun suddenly ca innocent I knew of your intentions froood-naturedly “Nothing screams ‘suspicious’ more than a person with a false face”
