I Became A Villain In A Novel
Eight
Today we will expedition back, please note although this is the desert, but there is a very large forest.
It is strange because it is a forest filled with cacti as high as two meters with sharp thorns.
We will all go there, of the 70 people only 67 left because 3 others died from scorpion venom.
So the 8-member group has 4 groups, and the 7-member group has 5 groups, we will split up when we reach the cactus forest.
Of course the five of us cannot be separated, and there are 2 imperial knights and paladins accompanying us.
"Good thing we're not with that woman." Whisper Elios towards me, I just smiled and nodded.
"In the cactus forest there is usually always an illusion, activate the protection spell and hold hands, although there is rarely rain but the cactus there grows well, so you have to be extra careful." A knight reminds us while carrying a wooden stick.
"Good." Answer us in unison.
"Good, if it's all set let's go, don't be in a hurry."

Each group entered the designated cactus region, seen from far away the purple-colored cactus forest, but upon approaching it was very green and beautiful.
In the middle of the journey the crown prince in disguise changed positions with a knight who was on Liona's team.
"Why is the crown prince here?" Prasina whispers to the frozen Liona.
"Let's go, don't mind him, we just do our job." Liona whispered back.
They all went deeper, not forgetting to hold hands to avoid the illusion, even though they were trapped in the illusion.
Only Liona was aware, looking at her hallucinating friends, Liona just glanced back and forth in confusion, not knowing what to do.
He only noticed his friends who were rummaging freely or fighting on their own, really if not on an expedition maybe Liona would laugh out loud while recording their actions and threaten his friends if disturbing him.
"Don't bother Liona, you lizard!" Luther raved while drawing the sword into nothingness.
"Don't take all my food or I'll cook you into meat soup!" Arthur shouted while pointing to who.
"When I am a beautiful princess, dududuu oh my beauty, I am the prettiest hulalala I will be an angel haha i'm so happy." Especially Prasina who has fantasized excessively.
Liona did not pay attention to them anymore, she just walked over observing the situation closely, all she needed to do was solve the effects of her hallucinations since only she herself was aware.
There were usually mentally strong people who quickly awakened, but Liona did not want to wait in vain like that.
"If you notice the pattern of this cactus is similar to a right triangle, stretching the angle of 90°. Do I have to solve it using the formula pitagoras? That's right." Mumbled ambiguous.
"Ah I don't understand, what should I do? Damn who creates illusions here is really troublesome if I meet him I'll hit him with a chair." Liona said as she ruffled her hair.
Bukk
Inadvertently Liona nudged a transparent glass that if noticed again had suffered a crack.
He looked at his friends, the first to realize was the crown prince.
"Ah, what's going on?" Asked the crown prince looking towards Liona who was clenching her fists with disheveled hair.
"We are exposed to illusions, fortunately I came to my senses first and discovered the essence of illusions." Lione lied without blinking.
The crown prince simply nodded and used earth magic to destroy the core of the illusion.
As soon as everyone regained their senses and remembered what they were doing, they could only palpitate in shame and pretend as if nothing had happened.
"You guys all right?" Asked the crown prince, all of them simply replied with a nod.
"We haven't found any monsters at all." Complain of a knight.
Srakk
Everyone looked at each other, stood up and skidded around to see the sound emanating not far from them.
"Iww what is it?" Tanya Prasina restrains nausea.
Everyone's faces turned pale, however there was a disgusting scene before them.
"That's a kikan, a creature of darkness. Why is he here?" Obviously the crown prince.
Kikan is a creature of darkness that likes to eat organs in humans and animals, kikan also called as a cursed creature that is hated by all living things.
The fish does not have a lower abdominal body, only the upper part is ape-bodied and joker-faced.
The bottom only shows his disgusting and foul-smelling organs, kikan is actually a hellish creature but why is it here?
"Big brother of man, I'll eat as much." He said with a wide grin that looked scary.
"Give it once." Luther shuddered in horror.
Kikan ran towards Liona who was adjusting her breath because of nausea to see her disgusting body.
Liona reflexively slashed her hands with the dagger she bought, but soon the dagger turned rusty due to the corrosive poison on her body.
"An interesting human being." Kikan said while licking his black nails.
Kikan sprayed some sort of foul-smelling squid ink, immediately Luther put on a magic shield to avoid it.
"How is this?" The knight asked the crown prince.
"Paladin, hold him down using the magic tower's holy spell." The crown prince's order on the paladin that had been silent.
"Sorry commander, but the paladin magic here doesn't work, I don't know why this could happen." Paladin said guiltily.
"Damn it, the shield won't be able to last long. We have to think of a strategy, Elios, do you have an idea?" The crown prince looked at Elios.
Elios seemed to think and look towards Prasina who was biting her lips with a pale face.
"Can you use your banisher sina's ability?" Everyone stared at sina.
"Mu-maybe I can, but my ability is still weak I can only hold it." Prasina explained boldly.
"Then Liona as usual flow your mana on the sword and I will help you with wind magic.
As for the others, resist using shadow magic so as not to drain too much of sina's energy and Luther protect the inscription with your shield."
Elios' advice was received by everyone, Liona prepared with her sword and Elios supported her from behind.
While Prasina approached the giggling kikan protected by a shield from Luther.
"FITTING THE ⁇ ⁇ ______________________________________________________________________________________________." Prasina recites a spell to fight kikan.
(It uses Greek, meaning "God help me, crush this thing into dust.")
His spell was so weak it could only resist, Kikan did not move and growled with anger let alone he was tied with shadow magic.
"DEAD!" Kikan screamed in anger.
"Liona now!" Shouted Elios.
