73. The downside of being too perfect

 Lu Yu let go of the dagger and retreated to a safe distance. He smiled as he watched Daphne put her hands on the dagger and tried to pull out the dagger with a ferocious expression.

"You are crazy. If you kill your companions, there will be no place for you in this land!"

Lu Yu took out a magic core from his backpack unhurriedly. Hearing Daphne's words, he sneered: "Stop acting. As a dying person, your acting skills are very poor."

"As far as I can tell, as long as a human's heart is penetrated, no matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult to speak so coherently under severe pain. Ordinary people have fallen to the ground and are looking back at themselves like a revolving door. Daphne, don't you?

Are you trying to tell me that you have two hearts, or that your heart is crooked?"

As flames emerged from the injured area, Daphne could no longer suppress the fire magic that burst out from her body.

"Why, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Daphne's wailing sound truly sounded like a dying person, desperate and sad.

"You have been confused, why did you notice it?"

Daphne's disguise could no longer be maintained. Under her fair skin, green vines burst out of her body.

Most of the light blue, narcissus-like flowers at the tips of the vines have withered.

“The details are very poor.”

Lu Yu was like a gamer who sighs and shakes his head angrily when he sees that a game produced by a game company is full of plot holes.

"At first, I really believed what you said. Your words and deeds were in line with my definition of an outstanding adventurer team. Your persuasion was all well-intentioned and unforced. Let me choose to fall into your trap.

Follow your actions."

"But during the process, I suddenly discovered that the knife of one of the team members was actually inlaid with sapphire. At first, I thought it was your previous harvest. I didn't have time to sell it, so I didn't take it seriously."

"Until I saw this team member holding this knife to rescue his companions and using it very hard. Even the archers in the team had a long bow with rich carvings."

"I also saw that the adventurer is adamantine grade, and you told me that you are not nobles."

"You may not know much about the economic situation of adamantite-level adventurers. It's quite unfortunate that I met several adamantite-level adventurers in another country. If they hadn't made a fortune following me, they would still be thinking about weapons every day.

There are issues with maintenance, food and accommodation, not to mention the replaced weapons, not even enough scrolls."

"The only people who can make the people who eat look fancy are the nobles. After all, these uncles are not short of money. It is not a problem to maintain weapons, eat and stay. They are adventurers just to have fun." Lu Yu said,

"But you denied that there are nobles in the team."

After experiencing a sudden dizzy attack, Lu Yu's vision disappeared from the thick fog.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the mercury-like moonlight fell on Daphne.

Daphne's true form has emerged, a monster made of countless light green vines crisscrossing each other.

After she was attacked, simulating a human posture, the vines on her face were still slowly squirming, forming the outline of Daphne's face. The organ that resembled a mouth opened and closed, moving.

"Just because these details don't completely prove that your guess is correct, you don't hesitate to attack the same kind of people?"

This strange illusion still left some marks. For example...at Daphne's heart, the wriggling vines were glowing faintly green, repairing the wounds burned by the flames.

Lu Yu glanced at Daphne's feet, and then turned his attention again to her human face imitated by vines.

"Indeed, those inferences just now are actually just guesses. If you are really lucky and pick up the treasure, but you haven't been able to sell it yet, and you are afraid that it is unsafe to store it, so you carry it with you at any time, then I will kill a good person by mistake.

…Look at it, I’ve made up the reasons for you.”

Daphne's voice became distorted, and she was on the verge of explosion after being ridiculed.

"Give me the answer!"

"I completed a summons in your illusion. Do you still remember what I summoned?"

Daphne recalled the summoned object standing on the earth.

Daphne could actually use vines to simulate expressions. She frowned and said uncertainly, "A white metal giant with square joints on its body?"

"I call it Gundam."

"What does this have to do with my flaw?"

Lu Yu said proudly: "Indeed, if you think about it, I'm afraid you will never be able to figure out why this is a flaw."

"Because, that's something I can't summon at all, idiot!"

According to Lu Yu's own conclusion through summoning, description takes precedence over description during the summoning process.

Based on this principle, no matter how Lu Yu describes the Gundam, no matter how vivid the image is in his mind, the summoning ceremony will still add details according to the description.

The summoning ritual, or the world itself, cannot understand things like "Gundam" and "Tank", so it will misinterpret the summoned objects.

Lu Yu had tried to summon a Gundam before, and what came out was a metal Cyclops.

The Flesh Chariot is summoned based on the modified "Drill Chariot" and "Tank".

However, in the illusion created by Daphne, the Gundam was summoned completely, without even a single detail being misinterpreted.

This is also the biggest flaw in Daphne's illusion. In order to prevent the people who are under the illusion from realizing the violations, she will work hard to guide and lay out the details in accordance with the thoughts of the deluded people.

She laid it out very well, but unfortunately... it was a little too good, even more perfect than the world itself.

There is always a problem between the world and Daphne, so it is obvious who to choose.

Daphne was stunned. Although Lu Yu had already told the reason for his failure...she didn't understand!

What do you mean it's a summoned object that he can't summon?

"Let me guess, why didn't you kill me directly when I entered the illusion." Lu Yu touched his chin, pretending to think, "Playing with prey? Can you draw the energy to nourish yourself from my actions?"

"Or..."

Under Lu Yu's feet, a vine turned into a sharp thorn and plunged straight into his heart.

A dull collision sounded.

The vines were blocked by a scorching barrier, and the attached flames instantly ignited the vines.

"You have super strong spiritual magic and can create and control illusions. You have no strength to face the enemy head-on. If the sneak attack fails, you will be in deep danger. Therefore, you need to waste the prey's physical strength first, or deceive him.

Use all your magic power to make sure nothing goes wrong and you won't be killed by a desperate struggle before you start taking action."

Daphne extinguished the flames on the vines, and the blue flowers that were still blooming sprayed out countless pollen, obscuring Lu Yu's sight.

Facing this kind of running attack, Lu Yu was already prepared. He snapped his fingers and an explosion sounded.

The screams echoed through the wilderness.

In the sky full of pollen, flames burned brightly. Daphne twisted her imitated human body desperately, making weird postures that humans simply couldn't do, struggling, twisting, and wailing.

"When I stabbed you, I took advantage of your distraction and threw a good thing behind your back."

"I have a friend, a seventh-level magician, who is very good at setting fires and causing explosions. I have always used these gadgets she made to burn corpses, crush the bones and spread ashes to avoid future troubles. It will definitely not be a loss if you use them."

"Humanity…"

"Humanity!"

Daphne screamed bitterly. She stretched out her charred vines and tried hard to tie them to Lu Yu, who was close at hand, but Lu Yu took out a dagger and cut them off.

"There's no need to shout 'human being' so resentfully. My name is Lu Yu. You can scold me or curse me, just come at me."

"You will also... be buried... in this land!"

"You and your companions...will..."

Before Daphne could tell her the curse on Lulutis and Sigrid, Lu Yu took out the bottles and jars that Lulutis used for self-defense, took out a bottle of red-labeled scale powder, and sprinkled it on Daphne.

a little.

The flames shot up to three feet high, which was nothing more than setting off fireworks.

Facing Daphne, who was gradually turning into firewood, Lu Yu calmly sighed: "I only let you scold me, but I didn't let you scold my friends."

After a while, Daphne's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the blazing flames, this strange monster was reduced to ashes.

Lu Yu swept through the ashes and found the magic core used by Daphne to store magic power.

He didn't rush to get it, for fear that this guy would have some death words after he died, so he took out a piece of cloth from his backpack, tied it to a wooden stick, and inserted it under a tree not far away as a mark, and then quickly

The earth buried the magic core on the spot.

As for the burned ashes and pollen scattered on the ground, Lu Yu first used the wind to roll them all into one piece, then set fire to burn them carefully, and then used wind magic to roll them up and sink them all into a nearby stream.

There is no residue left in it.
