Apparently the mysterious man also understood that he was listening to the voice and arguing.
But what he was more curious about was that most people's first reaction was to attack the shadow monster. Why did this guy identify the direction of the sound as the caster's body with the first shot?
Raymond recognized this shadow secret technique immediately.
The monster the shadow turns into is just a sensory illusion, and the secret method has been cast from the moment it appears!
Raymond looked at the system prompts and took a deep breath.
[Ding! You are attacked by Eric Jin’s spiritual spell and crushed by level. You cannot save the ‘Fear Nightmare’. 】
In the game, this spell is very weird.
If you attack the shadow monster, the body will suffer the same amount of damage; if you don't attack it, the shadow monster will also cause damage when it attacks you.
If the spell is not broken, it will be a dead end.
Raymond wasn't sure how this skill worked in reality. He could only carefully avoid the pursuing shadow monster and didn't dare to shoot.
In fact, when Arthur stepped onto this floor just now, the system prompted twice. It was obvious that there were two hostile targets.
But Raymond only saw Arthur from beginning to end.
The misfired shot was not only to test Arthur, but also to test this invisible enemy.
Raymond has now also discovered that the mark of "Twelve Sage Camp Feud" is not completely a piece of shit that can only attract hatred.
Since he mastered the skill [Hostility Perception], the two have combined to form an efficient method for determining the target's location and identity.
The first time I saw him there was a hint of hostility. It was obvious that he could only be from the Twelve Sages camp, and the most likely candidate was the navy.
"Hostility" is a perception at the spiritual level, which is different from the five senses of "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body". Even if the opponent is in a stealth state without leaking any breath and cannot be detected by the five senses, Raymond can instantly
Get system hostility prompt.
I saw the system prompt,
He naturally knows who this "Eric King" is,
Captain of the Navy Headquarters, a spiritual transcendent with extraordinary strength, Sequence 6 [Nightmare]!
However, the rank of the visitor was indeed somewhat unexpected.
...
I thought he was an assassin who was good at sneaking, but he didn't expect such a more troublesome guy to appear!
This time, Eric seemed to have suffered a loss and lost his memory. Voices came from all directions, making people confused, "The alchemy bell actually fell into your hands... It was you who killed Vanessa, right?"
"This guy still knows Vanessa?" Raymond didn't think about this question in detail.
He didn't hesitate at all and bit the tip of his tongue. The instant stinging pain made his head wake up for a moment.
The essence of "fear nightmare" is still an illusion, which uses people's inner instinct to fear imaginary monsters.
In the game, this kind of spell can be used to dispel this negative state with spells such as Holy Light Spell. But now that Raymond is alone, and there is no Anna to cast "Purification" this time, he can only use this stupid method that is the most common way to break illusions.
.
Sure enough, it worked!
[Ding! Increase your mental power by 35% and hold it for 1 second... You are immune to the illusion 'Horrifying Nightmare'. 】
Biting the tongue and stinging it will temporarily increase mental strength and have a chance to break the illusion. Raymond saw this in Vanessa's notes!
The first time Raymond was lucky, he saw a little old man wearing a cloak and a vulture standing next to the unconscious Arthur. He seemed not to have expected that Raymond would suddenly wake up.
It wasn't until he saw the blood bleeding from the corner of Raymond's mouth that he finally understood.
But the gun was already pointed at him!
"Bang!" He pulled the trigger without hesitation, and flames sprayed out.
There was a strange cry, and he ran away again and again in embarrassment.
After all, he was still a high-level Sequence Six transcendent, and his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he avoided this fatal blow.
Eric never thought that a Sequence 6 transcendent would be forced into such an embarrassing situation by a Sequence 9 kid!
"You...your kid is indeed proficient in spiritual spells! How on earth did you do it? Is it possible that you are a man of both physical and mental skills and have extraordinary talents?" If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have killed Vanessa with this shot.
Follow in the footsteps.
Mental mages are indeed strong, but they are also notoriously squishy.
Arthur in his werewolf state could withstand the three-barrel war hammer gun, but this little old man would never be able to resist it.
"If I didn't kill him with this shot, it will be difficult to find an opportunity now..." Raymond thought something bad in his heart. His only chance of victory was to catch the opponent off guard and kill him with the Hex Hammer.
It's a pity that this little old man is too vigilant.
[Ding! There is a hostile target within 1*1 range!]
Suddenly, Raymond heard the prompt again, and there was a pinprick-like feeling of hostility coming from the direction on his right hand.
At this distance, there is no time to turn the gun!
He reacted with lightning speed and raised the knife with his backhand!
"Kang!" The crisp sound of metal touching.
Raymond accurately judged the direction of Eric's sneak attack, and the weapons touched each other.
Taking a closer look, the Mihu in his hand was actually touching a thick black iron rod.
The huge counter-shock force made his jaw go numb!
Even more surprised was Eric who made a sneak attack!
He didn't expect that someone else would see through this trick that he did so unnoticed. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Hey, why are you so weird?"
He didn't understand at all why he was discovered again?
This kid can actually sense his presence?
Impossible... He wears a "shadow cloak" that isolates the breath, and even the masters of Sequence 5 may not be able to detect him. Is it possible for this little guy to sense it?
However, even if he was discovered, Eric did not panic at all, but showed a smile of success.
The two sides' weapons touched each other, and the stalemate lasted only a moment.
Raymond originally wanted to use his knife to chop, but the violent tremor coming from his hand couldn't stop at all! First his arm went numb, and then his whole body began to tremble. It felt like he was shaken to the point of leaving his body.
Generally, the field of vision is full of double images, making people feel trance-like.
"Psychic attack equipment!"
He still doesn't understand that there is something weird about this black stick!
However, it was too late.
[Ding! You were attacked by Eric Jin’s mental spell, and your level was crushed. You cannot save from "Nightmare·Dark Night"! 】
Fuck! I got tricked again!
The surroundings suddenly became pitch black, everything in his field of vision completely disappeared, and Raymond's whole person fell into endless darkness.
He still wanted to bite his tongue, but after biting it a few times, he found that the tongue in his mouth was intact. It was like biting a piece of wood, numbing it and not waking him up at all!
"This... is somewhat similar to Vanessa's dreamland last time... everything I see now is an illusion, including myself!"
At this point, although Raymond understood the essence of the spell, he was completely out of ideas.
He could only watch bitterly as the little old man Eric walked slowly from the darkness, approaching step by step.
Eric's eyes were gloomy and he said with a weird look on his face: "Boy, I didn't expect that you, a Sequence 9 kid, would let me use this technique..."
Holding the last bit of luck, Raymond said: "Senior, you and I have no grievances, why do you have to kill me? If you want to save Arthur, I will just let him go... After all, this is a trial, he
If you want to kill me, it’s impossible for me to resist without resistance..."
"No injustice or enmity? Haha..."
Eric sneered and asked, "Do you know what the relationship between Vanessa and I is?"
Raymond almost forgot about this. Looking at this guy's expression, he felt something was not good.
He thought for a while and asked tentatively: "How are you, old friend?"
"...."
Eric's face twitched,
He suppressed his anger and said, "She is my junior sister! We are both disciples of Master Mellon."
Raymond twitched his eyes in embarrassment, his smile was uglier than his cry, and he muttered in his heart: "No wonder the bell equipment has the prefix Mellon. But who is this Master Mellon? Why don't you have any impression of it?"
He asked again: "Senior...it really can't be discussed?"
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.
He also had a strong desire to survive. He glanced at Eric and suggested weakly: "Well...Aldrich even praised me for my spiritual talent. Look...do I practice with you?"
The potential for psychic magic?”
"You are so... shameless..." Eric's face trembled, as if he had eaten a broken egg and spit it out with his mouth full of nausea.
He had watched the whole battle between him and Arthur just now, and thought that Arthur was being plotted because he couldn't calm down. Now it was his turn to face it in person, and he wanted to crush this shameless little bastard to death.
.
So...in order to save your life, are you ready to start praying for mercy?
The fierce and decisive feeling when you drew the gun just now disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Originally, if Raymond had died generously, he would have looked upon him with a high regard.
But now...
Damn it...the hype is blinding.
"If it were any other time, I would really be interested in accepting you as a disciple. After all, it's hard to find a disciple with extraordinary spiritual power..."
Eric smacked his lips, changed the topic, narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It's a pity... I shouldn't have shown up here. Since you forced me to show up, you are destined to die."
"really..."
Raymond felt a chill in his heart. He guessed that this guy was either a master protecting Arthur secretly, or that he had some shady purpose and sneaked into the training ground.
But a dignified naval captain is certainly not as simple as a bodyguard.
Eric did not take action immediately. Instead, he stared at him with interest and asked in a bad tone: "But before that, I am very curious about what secret your kid has hidden... Not only was he defeated so easily,
Arthur also killed my dear junior sister Vanessa!"
"Let me go if I tell you?" Raymond still didn't give up, but said to himself, "Oh no!" Listening to the tone of this guy's gritted teeth, it's weird that he's not Vanessa's mistress!
"It's up to you not to say anything..."
As he spoke, two green lights suddenly appeared on Eric's sides, like will-o'-the-wisps.
Raymond lost his mind instantly.
"Now... tell me, what is your name..."
"Raymond."
Raymond knew he was hypnotized, but his mind seemed to be out of control and he just blurted out.
"Did you kill Vanessa?"
"yes."
"How did you kill her..."
"Use this musket."
"Did the arcane copper piece on her body fall into your hands..."
"exist."
"..."
Sure enough, this guy really killed Vanessa!
Eric was furious. Although he didn't believe that a Sequence 9 kid could kill a junior sister who was as powerful as him, he couldn't do it under hypnosis!
It turns out that this guy is the mysterious man who was offered a reward by the Navy. He also killed Lieutenant Colonel Fisher during the siege of the White Shark Tavern!
Damn it, how did this guy do it? Even with this musket, it's simply impossible...
"Then Fisher is you..."
Just when Eric wanted to ask more questions, suddenly, a sudden change occurred!
Eric discovered that his spell had been forcibly broken!
"Huh?" Raymond watched in surprise as the darkness around him faded away like a tide, as if he was waking up from a big dream.
"What on earth did you kid do!"
Eric was horrified. How could a transcendent who had been possessed by his illusion forcefully break his own spell?!
"I didn't do anything..."
Raymond looked at the surroundings with the same confusion on his face.
He originally thought this was a hard-to-get trick by the guy opposite him, maybe he was still in an illusion after all.
But when he saw the masked swordsman walking slowly not far away, he understood something...
"What the hell, did I go out today without looking at the almanac..." Raymond swallowed.
If he was asked to choose, he would rather face the Sequence 6 [Nightmare] than see this murderous masked man.
"This guy...really came to the Black Sea?"
Raymond felt his head was big,
His first reaction was to wonder, if this guy was on the island of the Hux Vulture, how did the people led by Philip capture the Vulture Pirates?
The second reaction was that he was dead.
If we talk about a Sequence 6 transcendent, he still has a one percent chance of winning.
So facing this guy is like an ant seeing an elephant.
...
Huh...
Eric naturally noticed the visitor,
He frowned and stared at the masked man walking slowly, obviously understanding that this guy had broken his illusion.
How come this guy approached so quietly and why didn't I notice it at all?
"Do you have any accomplices?"
He squinted his eyes and looked at the masked man, and immediately regarded him as an accomplice who came to rescue Raymond. He snorted coldly in his heart, "What a pity, since they see me... they all must die!"
With a look on his face like a fool, Raymond glanced at Eric, who suddenly became murderous. He sneered secretly, does this guy still want to take action?
Although he is also looking forward to the conflict between the two guys,
It's a pity that the strength of the two people is really different. Regardless of whether they can fight or not, it is simply impossible to stage another drama of snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's profit.
Eric refrained from taking action immediately and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
This masked man with no breath left gave him an inexplicable pressure, like an ordinary person, but also like the abyss of the sea.
But Eric also has his own self-confidence. The methods of psychic extraordinary people are inherently difficult to guard against. Even if he is dealing with an extraordinary person of a higher level, he can still be confident that he still has some chance of winning.
Among the major forces in the Black Sea, there are simply no extraordinary beings who can allow him to retreat without a fight.
Even Archduke Philip, known as the "No. 1 Master of the Black Sea", couldn't do it!
However, what surprised Eric was that the masked man ignored him at all.
The two of them passed by each other calmly,
The masked swordsman didn't look at him at all, but walked directly to the boy named Raymond.
After a while, the only response he received was a cold "Go away!"
From the beginning to the end, the masked man did not reveal the slightest breath, and his cold and domineering air was completely self-contained.
"you..."
Eric looked insulted, ashamed and angry.
After so many years, he has never been so humiliated. Even King Tianlan would call him "Sir" when he saw him. No one dared to be so rude to him!
He turned his eyes and vaguely felt that something was wrong. He suppressed his anger and announced his identity: "I am a naval captain..."
In his opinion, if this guy is afraid of his identity as a naval officer, then this guy must be bluffing, and his strength is not something to be afraid of. If he is really an extraordinary person with a great background, revealing his identity as a navy officer can also make the other party have some scruples.
Eric thought he had a good idea...
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain between his eyebrows, and his expression froze.
After an instant, the light in his eyes dimmed, and his whole body went limp like soft mud.
"Noisy."
The masked man murmured lightly, "Just because you are a navy, I gave you a chance to survive... It's a pity that you couldn't grasp it."
Seeing this scene, Raymond's heart skipped a beat, feeling like he had just stepped out of a wolf's den and into a tiger's mouth.
Damn it, isn't His Majesty Shichibukai also conferred by the Navy Headquarters? This guy, everyone has revealed his identity as a navy, and a colonel will kill him at the request of him?
With one move without any trace, a Sequence 6 Transcendent was killed in seconds. Raymond had no need to doubt that the masked man was the one he knew from the Shichibukai, Andre J. Hawke.
That murderous butcher.
"Where is the thing?"
Huo Kebing's tone was so cold that it sent chills down people's spines.
"You only have one chance to speak, think about it before you speak."
