Chat Group For Magicians Chapter 91

The others were on a trance although they are clearly trying to fight off the effects of the illusion . Catmod and the others are seemingly going on the other side of the f place and blindly walking here and there . Catmod seems to be drooling to something . Maple is kicking out here and there . Moonlight seems to be afraid of something as she is backing out . Miya, on the other hand, is able to maintain composure although she is clearly disturbed and having a hard time adjusting . From the looks of it, she is a bit resilient to the illusions though she is still affected .

 I saw Miya grab her dagger and she put a slice on her arm in her own accord . Possibly to counter the effects of illusions .

"F*ck, the illusions are getting harder and harder to deal with . . . " Miya said as she gasped while enduring the stinging pain from her wound .

I approached her immediately and grab the bandage I brought along with me to heal wounds . I don't know the Healing Spell yet . Since that is the case for me, I had to deal with low-efficiency healing .

As soon as I approached her, she quickly noticed it but since she took a lot of brute force to deal with it, she can't heal easily . I wrapped the bandage to her wound to stop it from bleeding . From the looks of her wound, it is a bit too deep that might cause complications . Then, I was surprised when I take a closer look . Since the light in this area is hard to find, I did not notice the colour of Miya's blood . Unlike the usual red coloured one, her blood is bright green . It was like a blood from the alien that I always see in movies . But I disregarded it . I was about to support her when I felt like something inside me said that I shouldn't bother with her . Is this part of the illusion?

I shook my head before I helped her on the side . I took her dagger just to be safe and avoid attacking me or herself for no reason . I put Miya a bit far from the location and goes to face my attention to Catmod first . From the looks of his illusion, I think he is seeing food jumping around the area . With the drool in his mouth, it was obvious enough . Since he is currently far from the usual him, his back is totally unguarded, therefore, I made a strike on his nape to make him go unconscious .

Miya and Catmod's cases are easy, but with Maple and Moonlight, I am unsure whether I can deal with them or not . Maple seems the be kicking randomly in the air which made have trouble approaching and apprehend her out of the illusion . I saw Maple did a lot of dangerous martial arts in terms of the legs and it was incredible if I say so myself . I don't know where I can do it to her and let her stop . I don't want to go flying by being kicked by her . Therefore, I used a small amount of Forestry Control to her . Only a single strong vine appeared near Maple's kicking feet . Before Maple can kick again, I controlled the vine to wrap Maple on it . The vine did quick work and entangle her . After that, I also hit her nape like how Catmod got unconscious .

After the small work is done, I look at Moonlight . Unlike the rest, she is hugging her knees and shaking a lot . She seemed to be under the impression that she found a very terrifying scenario . I don't know what she is seeing but doing the same method with Maple and Catmod to Moonlight might become traumatic and won't be approaching others anymore . I think I have to do another approach to her without looking her in her own illusion .

I calmly approach Moonlight without any fear . But as soon as I step near her, her face is now panic-stricken and she backs away .

"Go away, go away, go away!" Moonlight shouted with a shaky, terrified voice .

Looks like the illusion took turn from a bit easy to worst . I would be having a hard time to deal with her if this goes on . There is nothing I could do by using magic but the conventional method would do the trick I guess .

I approached Moonlight without any wariness . I calmly walked towards her with pity in her eyes . Moonlight mentioned something to me about this last time . And I guess she is experiencing that illusion right now . I never expected Moonlight to have a side of hers like this . I usually see her as a strong, dependable ally but in reality, she is still a girl who has a weakness . Despite the toughness she shows to others, there lies a gentle maiden who suffered suffering much worse than I have .

Although it is vague, after the unsealing of one of the Mana Circuits in my body, I recovered a bit of my memories about my parents though they are a bit blurry . The memories are now present . And that time, my mother saw me being scared in the dark during a thunderstorm and the electricity is currently down . Mom hugged me tight and rubbed my head as she hummed a lullaby song . Although I felt like my whole body that time shivered, I suddenly felt a calm and soothing feel that I longed for . From the looks of it, Moonlight is in need of it .

Although I have never hugged a girl, I think it's alright, given to the time we have right now . Moonlight cried as I keep on approaching her . Before I knew it, I already have given her a hug . As expected, her body shivered and seemed to get stunned . I feel so embarrassed but that can be disregarded .

I calmly patted Moonlight's head and rubbed her back . I can feel Moonlight bury her face into my chest and started sobbing . The fear she has taken all by herself finally found a person to help her carry on . Moonlight hugged me for at least five minutes . Although it's becoming more awkward as time pass by, I decided to avoid disturbing her . After a while, I discovered that she had quietened down and no longer shivering in fear . I look at her face and discovered that she had fallen asleep .

"Does that mean, it was an effective method?" 

I stood up and carried Moonlight . Moonlight is quite light so I didn't have trouble carrying her out of the illusion's range . Now that I think about it, I am the only one left . Looking at the others, I doubt I would be able to wake them up soon . I guess I have to stay on guard for them .

"Come here, boy . . . " another entity whispered into my ear . Instead of getting freaked out, I did not panic and instead look around . I scanned the area and saw a green figure peeking out of the nearby tree . I can't see the figure with our distance but I can tell that it was trying to call me in .

I drop Moonlight with the rest . I shook Itazura out from her slumber and remove her from my neck .

"Itazura, I had to entrust you with them . I hope you can guard them via illusion . Cab you do it?"

Itazura woke up groggily and looked at me and the rest on the ground . It nodded me and quickly stand guard for them . I nodded and decided to approach the entity .   From my guess, that entity in the tree would be the famous dryad .
