Chapter 68 Gerald Gets Duped

Is that... some kind of strange spell?

Gerald has noticed that these weirdos who are not afraid of death will turn into black ashes and drift with the wind after death.

Just once.

But it appears twice in a row...even if the method of death is different, the same effect will appear.

Also, their weapons are so consistent. Even the armor is somewhat similar, everyone seems to be afraid of death...

This made Gerald's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but feel a little fearful.

Could this be a rare humanoid spell?

Just like the legendary [Three Hundred Knights of the Red Knight]?

No, it's not the same...

The reason why [Three Hundred Knights of the Red Knight] is the top-level curse is that it consists of three hundred "war knights" who can slowly recover the number of silver rank.

This curse alone is enough to protect a country.

But these people are just ordinary people with no rank... Even if they can be resurrected, it is nothing special.

Gerald was slightly certain and had a new plan:

That long and somewhat familiar fake should be a relatively senior bronze rank wizard. But in terms of his age, he has only become an extraordinary person for three or four years at most.

As far as the information he has 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 chanting spell.

Chanting spells is not something to fear.

Assuming that he has the most dangerous [Eye of Sloth], the remaining instant spell can only counteract his mind control if it is [Freeze Mind].

But at present, the fighting style of this disabled wizard is more inclined to the fighting style of Noah Kingdom-that is, Salvatore's concentrated output.

After all, if this impostor is the most traditional incapacitated wizard of the Principality of Winter, then he should be holding an axe or a mace in his hand now...

Use Frost Nova to make others slower than yourself, use Sloth Eye to make it difficult for close-range enemies to attack and defend; use Stall Wall to block distant visible ballistic attacks, and then use Freeze Mind to strengthen your will and resist psychic attacks.

Then walk over and pick up the axe.

cut.

... If he really is such an incapacitated wizard, Gerald must have gone as far as he could.

However, given his age and size, it is normal that he is not good at that kind of wild fighting style.

Gerald quickly pondered the countermeasures, looking down at Annan's equipment with his eyes down.

He saw the saber 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 size of the bag on Annan's waist obviously can't hold anything... It should be transformed into raw materials for Salvatore.

Then you can do this-

First capture his emotions, and then detonate the fear in this kid's heart - as a Bronze rank superhuman, it is impossible for him to resist his own spells.

Then at the moment when he was so frightened that it was difficult to use magic countermeasures, he raised his head to look at him and used [Manipulate Minds]!

[Manipulating people's hearts] Although they cannot directly self-harm and commit suicide. But they can be controlled to attack each other.

And this whole process was silent... Salvatore didn't realize that Annan had been controlled by him and could not wake him up immediately.

As Bronze rank superhumans, their wills should be relatively tough. Gerald thought he couldn't control them for long.

— but Salvatore was very close to him.

Assuming the control time of [Manipulating the Mind] is the same, Annan can use cold contact to attack Salvatore, and he can effectively control Salvatore.

Even if you can't seriously hurt him, you can interrupt Salvatore's spell, making him powerless to resist his own attacks.

At this time, he can deliver a powerful blow to Salvatore, tearing and stripping his soul.

When Salvatore was calm, this blow could only barely hurt him even if it tripled its power, which is why he announced this before. But being suddenly backstabbed by his companions, this panic and resentment would greatly increase the power of [Soul Tear].

The twice-powerful [Soul Tear] was enough to instantly kill Salvatore. It can also be fatally wounded.

That way, they turned into a one-on-one matchup.

If Salvatore didn't react and woke Annan in time, then Annan wouldn't even be able to wake up from the state of [manipulating people's minds].

In this way, Salvatore only needs to order him to use the Frost Wheel on his guards again, this time with all the safety mana... As a twelve or thirteen year old wizard, he will no longer have any resistance.

Even if Salvatore wakes him up, it's just one more round.

Yes, Gerald has such confidence.

He is an expert in manipulating emotions and can easily confuse people even without using spells.

- Click.

The second second passed.

Gerald's thoughts were spinning, he thought of a countermeasure in the blink of an eye, and decided his lines in an instant:

"You...are you immortal?"

Suddenly, Gerald asked.

He was very sure.

If he asks this out of the blue, the other party will definitely have a fear of "his secret being seen through". Especially when the opponent is fighting with him, he will definitely think about worries such as "Did he see through me somewhere else" and "Is my plan also seen through".

Even if the fear disappeared in a flash, it would be tightly grasped by him!

When he said this, he had already closed his eyes.

This is to cover the magic effect in your eyes!

——[Consciousness Capture: Fear]

The dark red brilliance flashed away in his eyes, and all the fears in his eyes would turn into bubbles... and they would burst with a poke.

click.

The third second passed without incident.

Gerald suddenly trembled.

This is……

...what monster?

Everyone has fear in their hearts, big or small, sinking or floating.

He couldn't immediately tell what the fear of a certain "bubble" was. The previous plan was just to make the fear that I wanted to detonate, float up with my words, and become the biggest one.

but.

This dignified boy...

——There is no fear in his heart at all!

Clean, like a puppet.

Not even a single bubble.

Gerald switched spells without hesitation.

——[Consciousness Capture: Anger]

The answer is the same, still no.

His heart was clean, without the slightest emotion.

But in human history, there has never been a talent that can completely eliminate feelings.

Gerald shivered in his heart.

His pupils dilated and trembled, as if realizing something.

It's like,

It's just like……

The true god he saw that day was the same as "Bone Lord"...

"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 doesn't care about the deterrence of the eye of sloth...because even if he is controlled by the eye of sloth, it is better than that future.

This little "fake", I don't know which pseudo-god walking in the world... or even a true god!

This is already meaningless.

He just wanted to take another look at who the other party was——

——【Consciousness Judgment】!

"……what?"

Gerald was stunned.

He originally thought that he would see the mysterious essence of the other party, just like when he looked at the real body of the bone man that day. The whole spirit is swept away by it, the volitional thinking is destroyed and then reshaped.

It's like dying once and then being reborn.

But this time, he saw... the color that belongs to human beings.

That is the color of emotion.

Incomparably strong, incomparably pure, incomparably passionate emotion—

Excited, excited, confident, loved, hopeful, joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful…

Gerald shivered, realizing something was wrong.

Oops!

be cheated!
