Turning around to look at the voluptuous and sexy lady in transparent gauze, I couldn't tell that she was acting.
Lisa guessed that she was dubious and explained in a low voice: "Before entering the ballroom, I cast the second-level spell 'Detection of Thoughts', but the surface thoughts of creatures that enter my field of vision will be nakedly exposed in my mind, including
That woman with evil intentions... Judging from her psychological activities, she is probably a devil in disguise. There are at least eight or nine guys like this in the ballroom!"
"Uh, Lisa, can you really see through people's hearts?" Claire was inexplicably nervous.
"Not all. If someone is particularly determined, I can't see what he is planning, such as Brother Umberto."
Lisa took a deep look at Claire, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.
"Sister Claire, in fact, your secret crush on Brother Umberto is all on your face. You don't need to use any 'detection thoughts'. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so why do you need to hide it?
?”
"Ah?! I'm not...I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Clayton's face turned red with shame and he quickly changed the subject, "Lisa, is there a way to strip away the disguise of demons and distinguish them from normal people?
come out?"
Lisa groaned and said thoughtfully: "The demons lurking in the ballroom are probably a trap set by Saratus, plotting to plot against us."
"Among the spells that the Bewitcher is good at, there is the 6-level 'veil of concealment', which can make many creatures change their appearance at the same time, which is equivalent to a group disguise effect... Let me try to see if I can dispel the disguise of the demons."
Lisa held the Holy Emblem of the Sun God and chanted a prayer in a low voice.
It is common for her to perform level 3 "Dispersion Technique", but this time she seemed particularly cautious.
The targets usually dispelled have magic effects below level 3, so success can be guaranteed 100%.
What needs to be dispelled this time is the 6-ring magic "veil of concealment". There is a possibility of failure, and if it fails to dispel, it will alert the demons among the crowd. If the situation gets out of control, the consequences may be serious.
To use "dispersion" to dispel a spell higher than level 3, you need to make a spellcasting attribute check. The difficulty of the test (DC) = 10 the level of the target spell.
Bringing in the "veil of concealment", the test difficulty is 16.
Lisa's spellcasting attribute (perception) is 22, and "Owl's Wisdom" increases her perception by an additional 6 points, resulting in a final perception correction of 9.
In addition, her profession "Judge" has a divine ability-automatically gain advantage on attacks, saving throws, skill and attribute checks made against evil creatures, that is, the higher of the two dice is taken.
A simple calculation shows that if Lisa rolls a twenty-sided die twice, if any one is greater than 6, she can pass the test.
As a result, her luck greatly exceeded the required limit, and she cast 18 points the first time!
A green light curtain spread out from the girl's palm, covering the people on the dance floor.
In an instant, the demon mixed in the crowd was removed from its disguise and revealed its ugly true face.
On the dance floor, there were a total of 12 timid demons disguised as human nobles, including the noble lady closest to Claire - after taking off her magical disguise, her beauty was no longer and she transformed into a short, bloated, ugly demon.
, bared his teeth and claws and pounced over.
A trace of disgust appeared on Claire's face, and he swung the "whip of thorns", wrapped it around the stubby neck of the timid demon, and tore it to the ground.
Cowardly Demon, who fell on the carpet, was about to get up when he suddenly felt a huge shadow flying towards him, and the next moment his throat was bitten by the lion Simba.
Umberto and Mario also showed their weapons and broke into the dance floor to hunt down demons.
Half of the people on the dance floor were real humans. Under the influence of the "Soothing Music", they regained some of their sanity. Suddenly, they realized that the dance partner hugging them closely was actually a demon in disguise, and they were immediately frightened and panicked!
These frightened noble men and women were running around screaming, and the scene in the hall was extremely chaotic.
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
The pianist seemed to be frightened and stopped playing the piano. He stood up with his hands on the keyboard and staggered towards Gao Fei.
At first, Goofy didn't pay attention to the pianist until Lisa's urgent warning came from behind him.
"Watch out for the pianist!"
Gao Fei's heart trembled, and he activated a "thunder wave" without thinking, sending the pianist flying away as he was about to approach him.
Until this moment, he had not seen anything suspicious about the pianist. It was purely out of trust in Lisa that he cast a spell to blow him away.
Gao Fei remained on guard and looked sideways at Lisa with doubts in his eyes.
"That pianist... has evil intentions in his heart and is trying to sneak up on you!" Lisa quickly came to her fiancé's side and explained to him in a low voice.
Gao Fei knew that she had turned on the "detection of thoughts". Since he saw that the pianist had murderous intentions, he could see that the other party was also a devil in disguise, so he cast the "dispersion technique" on the pianist, intending to remove his disguise.
The results were somewhat unexpected.
The pianist, shrouded in a green light curtain, remained unchanged.
Gao Fei initially thought it was because he failed to pass the dispersion test, but when he opened the astrolabe to view the real-time battle report, he couldn't find any reminder of the test failure.
This can only show that there is no disguise magic on the pianist. Whether it is "disguise" or "veil of concealment", casting "dispersion" on him will not be the right medicine.
If the pianist was not transformed by a demon, why did he try to assassinate himself? Could it be that he truly worshiped Saratus and volunteered to work for the devil and act as Saratus's assassin?
Under Gao Fei's puzzled gaze, the answer was revealed automatically.
A strange black shadow, like boiling smoke, was emerging from the pianist's body.
When Lisa saw this scene, her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly whistled and called the "Holy Light Envoy" over.
The light emitted by the "Holy Light Envoy" is equivalent to the 2nd level spell "Eternal Flame".
Illuminated by this ball of light, Gao Fei noticed that the black shadow was peeling off the pianist's body and transformed into a thin human form.
It has horns on its head, a pair of deformed wings on its back, and sharp claws on the ends of its slender limbs. Its torso and face are unclear, as if they will merge into the darkness at any time and disappear without a trace.
Gao Fei is no stranger to this weird phenomenon.
"Looks like an incorporeal creature...a ghost?"
"It's an incorporeal body, but not a ghost." Lisa corrected beside him, "That's a 'Shadow Demon', a rare incorporeal subspecies among the Tanar'ri demons!"
When he heard the word "shadow demon", Gao Fei immediately thought of various legends about "demon possession". This chapter has been completed!
