Gerald has noticed that these weird people who are not afraid of death will turn into black ashes and scatter in the wind after death.
Just once.
But if it appears twice in a row...even if the method of death is different, the same effect will appear.
Moreover, their weapons are so consistent. Even their armors are somewhat similar. Everyone seems to be unafraid of death...
This made Gerald's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but feel a little fearful.
Could this be a rare humanoid curse?
Just like the legendary [Red Knight's Three Hundred Heroes]?
No, this is different...
The reason why [Red Knight's Three Hundred Heroic Knights] is the top-level spell is because it is composed of three hundred silver-level "war knights" who can slowly recover their numbers.
This curse alone is enough to protect a country.
But this group of people are just ordinary people without rank... Even if they can be resurrected, it is nothing special.
Gerald felt slightly reassured and had a new plan:
The somewhat familiar-looking impostor should be a relatively senior bronze-level wizard. But considering his age, he has only been a transcendent for three or four years at most.
According to the information collected so far, he has four spells: Cold Contact, Stall Wall, Frost Nova, and Frost Wheel.
He can also have up to two instant spells and one chanted spell.
Chanting spells is nothing to be afraid of.
Assuming that he possesses the most dangerous [Eye of Sloth], then the remaining instant spell can only counter his own mind control if it is [Freeze Thoughts].
But at present, the fighting style of this disabled wizard is more inclined to the fighting style of the Kingdom of Noah - that is, Salvatore's kind of concentrated stance and output.
After all, if this counterfeit is the most traditional disabled wizard from the Principality of Winter, then he should be holding an ax or hammer in his hand now...
Use the Frost Nova to make others slower than yourself, use the Eye of Sloth to make it difficult for enemies at close range to attack and defend; use the Stall Wall to block tangible ballistic attacks from afar, and then use Freeze Thoughts to strengthen your will and resist psychic attacks.
Then he walked over and picked up the axe.
cut.
...If he really was such a disabled wizard, Gerald would have run as far as he could.
However, considering this man's age and size, it is normal for him not to be good at that kind of wild fighting style.
Gerald quickly thought about countermeasures, lowered his gaze, and looked at Annan's equipment with his peripheral vision.
He saw the sword on Annan's waist - he could tell at a glance that it was a decorative protective sword.
No threat.
He also saw the satchel on Annan's waist.
The bag on Annan's waist was obviously not big enough to hold anything... It must have been used to transform raw materials for Salvatore.
Then it can be like this——
First capture his emotions, and then detonate the fear in this kid's heart - as a bronze-level transcendent, he cannot resist his own spells.
Then, at the moment when he is so frightened that it is difficult to use spells to counterattack, he raises his head and looks into his eyes, and uses [Manipulation of People's Hearts]!
[Manipulation of People's Hearts] Although you can't make them kill themselves directly, you can control them to attack each other.
And this whole process was silent... Salvatore didn't realize that Annan was under his control and couldn't wake him up immediately.
As Bronze-level extraordinary beings, their wills should be relatively strong. Gerald thought that he would not be able to control them for a long time.
——But Salvatore is very close to him.
Assuming that the control time of [Control Human Heart] is the same, Annan can use cold contact to attack Salvatore, which can effectively control Salvatore. Even if he cannot be seriously injured, Salvatore's spell can still be interrupted.
Leaving him unable to resist his own attack.
At this time, he can send a powerful blow to Salvatore, tearing and peeling off his soul.
When Salvatore was calm, even three times the force of this blow could barely seriously injure him, which is why he declared this before. But when he was suddenly stabbed in the back by his companions, the panic and resentment would
Greatly increases the power of [Soul Tear].
The double power of [Soul Tear] is enough to kill Salvatore instantly. It can also cause fatal injuries at the end.
In this way, they become a one-on-one duel.
If Salvatore didn't react and wake up Annan in time, Annan wouldn't even be able to wake up from the state of [manipulating people's hearts].
In this way, Salvatore only needs to order him to use the Wheel of Frost on his guards again, and this time invest all the safe mana... As a twelve or thirteen-year-old wizard, he will no longer have any ability to resist.
Even if Salvatore wakes him up, it will just be another round.
Yes, Gerald has such confidence.
He is an expert in controlling emotions and can easily confuse people's hearts even without using magic.
——Click.
The second second passed.
Gerald's mind was racing, he thought of a countermeasure in the blink of an eye, and decided on his lines in an instant:
"Are you... immortal?"
Suddenly, Gerald asked.
He was very convinced.
If he asks this question out of the blue, the other party will definitely have a fear that "his secret has been seen through." Especially when the other party is fighting with him, he will definitely think, "Is there anything else he has seen through me?"
Worries like whether my plan has been seen through."
Even if that fear passes away for a moment, it will still be held tightly by him!
When he said this, he had already closed his eyes.
This is to cover the spell effects in your eyes!
——[Consciousness Capture: Fear]
The dark red light flashed in his eyes, and all the fears in his eyes turned into bubbles... that would burst with one poke.
Click.
The third second passed without incident.
Gerald suddenly trembled.
This is……
...what monster?
Everyone has fear in their heart, whether it is big or small, sinking or floating.
He couldn't immediately tell what kind of fear a certain "bubble" was. The previous plan was just to make the fear he wanted to explode rise up with his words and become the biggest one.
but.
This boy with a solemn face...
——There is no fear in his heart at all!
Clean, like a doll.
Not even a bubble.
Gerald switched spells without hesitation.
——[Consciousness Capture: Anger]
The answer is the same, still no.
His heart is clean and devoid of any emotion.
But in human history, there has never been a talent that can completely eliminate emotions.
Gerald trembled in his heart.
His pupils were dilated and trembling, as if he had realized something.
It's like,
It's just like……
The true god he saw that day was just like the "Skeleton Lord"...
"What on earth are you-"
——What monster?
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Annan almost desperately.
Gerald's heart was filled with inexplicable grief and anger.
He didn't care about the intimidation of the Eye of Sloth...because even if he was controlled by the Eye of Sloth, it would be better than that future.
This little "fake" is not known to be any false god walking on earth...or even a true god!
This is meaningless.
He just wanted to take another look at who the other party was——
——[Consciousness Determination]!
"……Huh?"
Gerald was stunned.
He originally thought that he would see the mysterious nature of the other party, just like when he looked at the true body of Lord Skeleton that day. His whole spirit was washed away by it, and his will and thinking were destroyed and then reshaped.
It's like dying once and then being reborn.
But this time he saw... colors belonging to humans.
