CHAPTER 21: OPTICAL CHARM

LAO, indignant, has gone through the whole village, without stopping, he continues long, has a hunch, just need to check the temple that should be at the end of the village.

With a little luck and some survivors have hidden in the catacombs under the temple, where the bodies of the monks who have served there are kept.

When he sees the temple, in the distance, outside, he can see the shadow of the 4 causes of all the massacre that fell on the village.

One of the types is of great stature, his body looks wide under the cape, this denotes a lot of musculature, in his hand he brings a staff with thin peaks at the tip.

Another of them has an average body, of medium height, does not carry weapons with him, but he manages to see that a thick thread falls from his hand.

It can be a whip or chain.

It's probably very agile.

The third has a very thin figure, undoubtedly brings a pair of sharp weapons, long hilt, sickle-like.

It will be problematic and the last of robust and tall complexion, is the one who is whipping a whip that clears fire when it touches the floor.

All somewhat restless, as if they had a lot of time waiting for someone to come to the temple.

As you get closer to LAO, you can feel its negative aura, full of anger.

The group is composed of 4 dangerous-looking, aggressive, sorcerers, (with weapons that, handle perfectly providing magic).

The appearance of his face does not look passive, on the contrary, it reflects anxiety.

LAO knows that the mental condition of these guys is not natural because of the massacre they have left throughout the area.

He does not know what the qualities of those men may be, but he knows that they are highly dangerous, they tore bodies apart as if they were beasts.

Being LAO, within a certain range, has changed the direction of the wind, they smelled it, but did not see it, due to a technique that uses the optical illusion, this causes them to not be able to see it.

This is part of LAO's unique power.

As she begins to move, LAO realizes that one of them is a woman, the thin-looking one.

There are no plans to make, however, LAO, must arrive at the temple without being seen, knows that there is stored an ancient manuscript of great power, which was inherited along with the temple to protect it and must prevent those evil ones from finding it.

It is this relic that LAO senses that they have come to seek.

And that is worrying, few know of its existence, TESUTO told him at some point during his training with him, alone, that, whoever possesses it, will have enormous power over souls and this is a power so great, divine and terrifying that it could change everything in favor of those despicable beings. LAO, pained by the massacre that has befallen the people, wishes to save the world from those beings who have no respect for life.

He knows that it will not be easy, more because it seems judging by his movements that they have perceived something and that he is not yet so close to the temple.

He advances nimbly, being about 50 meters from them, the 4 turn to see where LAO is, which surprises LAO a little, but in reality, it is something he already expected, the evil ones are filled with enthusiasm to have smelled their prey, they are guided by the smell to attack it, LAO possesses the gift of quickness and dodges them, but his gift only works one way, or attacks or defends himself, he can't do both.

This is a limitation that LAO knows well, so you will need to choose how you will deal with this situation.

They follow him, while they run after him, they attack him simultaneously with their chains that break everything they touch and those whips that when they click with something catch fire.

It is a group that has been together in battle, this is noticeable by the way they complement each other so as not to give time to breathe.

Those who cause the most trouble are the woman of the sickle and the man of the chains, they are agile of movement.

The other two take the tank position.

LAO uses the trees and pillars surrounding the temple to dodge those attacks, being at a , it is inevitable, on one occasion they wound him by hitting him with the whip, burn part of his clothes and LAO, he has to take it off quickly, they break the optical charm that, although it was not of much use, if it made them have a moment of delay in their attacks, LAO, has realized that, this is not a normal fire of a sorcerer, This one was so strong to burn their clothes that were blessed.
