Chapter 18: The Cleucault Showdown

Hearthfire Island Manor.

It's already October, and the trees on the island are beginning to lose their leaves, and from the top of the mountain, you can see a forest of yellow leaves.

"In ten minutes, if you can get me hurt, you pass the test." Standing in the glade, Aske said.

It was said in a very arrogant manner, but his tone was quite natural, as if it were some kind of difficult challenge.

What's even more strange is that the girls surrounding him also showed solemn expressions.

"Okay." Asker pulled his sword from the void, "Let's get started, then." ”

As soon as his words fell, Medea had already taken the lead.

Thread of the Heart!

Asker's movements froze instantly, and Sheila's storm followed him.

Hurricane!

A howling hurricane swept towards Asker, only to turn back halfway through.

"Be careful, it's 'rebellion'!" Sheila hurriedly reminded, and everyone scattered around in a panic.

Since Asker never had any intention of hiding his secrets, the girls were clear about his skill system.

"Rebellion", this law skill allows the attack of the transcendent to devour itself, but this counterattack is direct and uncontrollable.

For example, if Medea throws a flame to attack someone, and Asque throws a rebellion, then the flame will reverse and attack Medea, but Aske can't control it to attack others, and he can't get it to attack a specific location of Medea.

Like riots in ancient armies, they are often chaotic, random, and disorderly.

With this in mind, it would be equivalent to saying that the storm after the rebellion would only attack Sheila, so everyone immediately dispersed quickly to avoid being affected by the hurricane's attack range.

"Wait!" Medea's voice suddenly sounded, "The thread of my heart has been canceled!" He plundered my skills! ”

Everyone was shocked again. Now that Asker has plundered the "thread of the heart", it is obvious what to do next:

Take control of one of them and make them turn against them.

We must find Asker and contain him!

Such a thought flashed through everyone's hearts, and everyone immediately put on alert, and those who had the ability to investigate began to investigate. Sheila had also broken up the hurricane after the rebellion, and her figure quickly floated up to monitor the surroundings.

In the field of vision, no.

Psychic Vision, no.

Shadow Realm, no.

The spirits searched, but still couldn't find it.

"It's an ambush skill!" Medea reminded everyone again.

"Ambush", when activated when not observed, can continue to maintain the state of "unobservable", but this is a kind of stealth, and you will still be damaged when you eat the AOE ultimate.

As long as he tries to use his abilities, he will interact with the outside world, and the ambush state will be automatically lifted.

Therefore, Sheila, who was floating in the air, all the Mithril circuits around her lit up, and began to brew a super-large gravitational field attack.

However, before her spiritual mobilization could be completed, a black light suddenly shot out from below, startling Sheila to quickly interrupt the spell casting and dodge urgently.

It was Peggy who made the move. After interrupting Sheila in the air with a curse, she pulled out the hot melt knife she was wearing and slashed at Eleanor's back.

Eleanor hurriedly turned around to block, and the light of will turned into a shield in her hand, blocking Peggy's hot melting knife.

Unyielding Holy Sword Status!

The light that formed the shield suddenly condensed into substance, withstanding the attack of the hot melting knife.

"It's Peggy who is being controlled!" Medea quickly reminded, "Nola! ”

She also shoots the thread of her mind at Peggy, trying to fight for dominance with Aske, who is manipulating her, and Nora quickly activates her abilities, first invading Peggy with a spirit and then spawning vines to tie her up, finally completely controlling her mobility.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Mia had already drawn her twin knives and slashed at Mi'er, who quickly jumped back and dodged the slash as if she had anticipated her attack.

Not again! The girls reacted in shock and fear, and it was useless to simply restrain Peggy, because Aske could switch the thread of the mind at any time to change the target he wanted to control.

Medea thought more in an instant: first, her Psychic Thread ability was not as it would take 5-6 minutes to complete control as she had previously told Asker.

Instead, it only takes about 6 seconds to load, and the subject will quickly feel sleepy, exhausted, and lose energy until they completely lose consciousness and are completely controlled by Medea.

In just 6 seconds, this is the horror of the "manipulation" of the law of rare compounds.

Of course, in front of Asker, Miss Succubus has always been cheeky, and it doesn't matter if the lie is exposed to her face (he can still eat me).

What really scares Medea is that even if she switches the control state of the Mind Thread, it will also take 6 seconds to load before she can control the next target.

So, when did Asker switch states and start controlling Mia?

The answer is when Medea shoots out the thread of her mind at the same time, trying to compete with Aske for dominance.

If she hadn't used this skill, Peggy's consciousness would have quickly come to her senses as soon as Asque had ended her control over Peggy, and this kind of strangeness might not be visible to others, and it would not be too obvious to the two psychic magicians, Nora and Medea.

It was precisely because Medea activated the Psychic Thread on Peggy that Aske seized the opportunity to cut out synchronously, so that before Peggy returned to normal, she began to be controlled by Medea again and fell back into a sleepy state, resulting in the two not realizing Asker's skill switch.

If you briefly summarize what happened just now, it is that in the tactical confrontation between the rabbit and the falcon, the following mille-feuille logic is nested:

Initially, you only see Layer 1: Aske controlling Peggy.

After that, I saw the second layer: Aske not only controls Peggy, but can also switch to control others at any time, such as Mia.

As the one with the law of manipulation, Medea was originally on the third layer: not only did she understand the facts of the first two layers, but she also knew that it would take time to switch control targets, so it was not expected that Aske would be able to switch easily.

However, in fact, to everyone's surprise, the head of the regiment thought of the 4th layer from the beginning, that is:

Through some means, he disguised his behavior of switching the thread of his heart, and at the same time deceived everyone, including Medea!

Knowing this fact, Medea felt a deep sense of fear. Even in the major law of manipulation, my own understanding is not as good as that of the regiment leader, so do other people still need to talk about it?

She immediately came to the conclusion that she couldn't fight any more seriously and had to release the water! If you don't lose in time, you might be beaten by Asker!

Of course, even if you release water, you can't put it openly, how to "fight hard" and "lose your combat ability first" is a very test of acting skills, but fortunately, Miss Succubus is born to be a drama spirit, and she does not lack this talent.

Just as her eyes were rolling and she was wondering what to do next, she heard Sheila suddenly warn:

"My storm powers have also been plundered!"
