Chapter 91: Disillusionment
With sincerity and peace of mind, Tarrant put away his katana, took out the Tingwu badge, activated the True Vision, and the body of the heavy spirit sucking monster gradually faded, turned transparent, and then dissipated into the air, and the aisle was emptied.
Sure enough, Tarrant's answer was correct, these were all hallucinations.
The teammates on the ground were still immersed in the fight, Kitty rode on top of Rex and punched the priest in the head, Rex's originally weak body was not able to respond, allowing the fist to smash into his cheek again and again, and the corners of his mouth splattered with blood.
"Kitty, stop!" Tarrant ran forward and grabbed her fist, the strength of the druid was beyond his imagination, not only did he not stop his fist but was almost brought down by the fist wind, Tarrant shouted: "Kitty, these are hallucinations!"
Kitty seemed to hear the voice, her fist paused, and she looked around, her eyes swept over Tarrant and looked down the aisle, her expression very dazed.
She was accused of hallucinating, and Tarrant grabbed her shoulders with both arms and shook her vigorously, "Kitty!"
The druid's vision blurred, and the enemy in front of her faded away, and when it was clear again, Tarrant stood beside her, and Kitty looked at Tarrant in surprise, "What's going on!"
"There's a hallucination here, I've seen a psicos, and you've seen a bone golem, I don't know what they're seeing......" Tarrant glanced back and forth, Rex collapsed to the ground, no mage figure, "Kitty, see Katrina!"
Kitty shook her head and looked around, "Looks like I'm running down the hall...... I'm not sure. ”
The mage is gone!
Tarrant jumped anxiously, if she saw some terrifying monster casting magic, she would undoubtedly be followed by the Shadow Eater, and she had to find her as much as possible, "You take care of Rex, I'll go back to her!" Tarrant ran briskly in the direction of the hall.
Kitty behind her shouted, "Tarrant, your feet!"
Tarrant looked down, and a shadow scurried beside his shadow, Shadow Eater!
At that moment, Tarrant suddenly realized that he activated the magical energy of the emblem, and the True Vision worked on him, it was too stupid, Tarrant took a step back and died, before the magic energy was exhausted, the Shadow Devourer was enough to devour him, despair surrounded his consciousness, and in panic, he instinctively swung his katana and slashed at the Demon Shadow on the ground.
The katana smashed into the ground and stabbed into the body of the Shadow Eater, and something wonderful happened, the katana magically pinned the shadow on the ground, and the shadow struggled violently on all fours in a painful form, as if it was being greatly tortured.
Tarrant unbelievably pulled out his katana, and the Shadow Eater flew out of view, ...... He looked back at Kitty, "Did you see that?"
"That weapon can attack the Shadow Eater!" Kitty couldn't believe her eyes.
Another shadow rushed out from the front, striking at Tarrant's shadow, the blue light of the katana inserted into the ground to meet it, and the moment it touched, the Shadow Eater trembled wildly, exited the attack range, and crouched in the corner.
It was waiting for the opportunity, Tarrant raised his knife and threw it, accurately hitting the shadow on the floor, the Shadow Eater struggled with his hands, as if pulling out the energy source of the katana's position, Tarrant stepped forward and stabbed it tightly, the shadow swayed wildly, suddenly, the black shadow range skyrocketed, silently burst open, disappeared, the katana popped out, the floor was intact, there were no knife marks.
It's incredible! The katana has destroyed the shadoweater with no real form!
Tarrant once again witnessed its magic, the effect of this knife has exceeded his expectations, he stroked the blade, the blue energy calmly melted his fingers, when he reveled in the powerful energy of the katana, a cold feeling suddenly surged in his chest, this feeling, as if the touch of blood soaked through the inner lining, Tarrant passed a trace of fear in his mind, he looked down at his breastplate, there were no scars, and looked down, his shadow was being bitten by the Shadow Eater!
Tarrant decisively swung his knife down, slashing at the body of the Shadow Eater, slashing hard, and the shadow on the ground split in half and disappeared.
His body was inexplicably tired, and Tarrant only felt a dizziness in his head, and the weight of his armor seemed to increase, and he leaned against the wall, letting out a heavy breath.
"Are you alright?" Kitty ran over and looked at the paleness of the paladin, "You...... Touched by them?"
"Yes", Tarrant barely stood up straight, "it's okay, the fitness is not affected." ”
The effect of True Sight has faded, and Shadow Eater will no longer be in trouble.
"I'll go find Katrina", Kitty helped him.
"No", Tarantra grabbed her arm, "you don't have a weapon, if the situation is more dangerous, I'll go." He turned and walked down the hall.
The short distance between the halls consumed a lot of physical energy for Tarrant, he was in the same situation as Rex, the armor became a heavy burden, and he could feel the loss of his body every step he took, so his combat power would also disappear, and he could only choose to give up defense, he took off the iron armor on his arms, wrists, shoulders, and legs and put them in the spirit pattern bag, leaving only the main part, the burden was slightly lightened, and Tarrant walked into the hall, and the silent space was solitary with the statue in the middle.
"Katrina!" he shouted.
There was no response.
Tarrant held his torch aloft, searched around, and called out to him, "Katrina, are you there!"
There was a slight grinding sound in a corner.
Tarrant gripped his katana and walked slowly in that direction, "Katrina, is that you?"
The torch shone on a figure, sitting in the corner, holding his legs curled into a ball, robes, and long hair.
"Katrina!" Tarrant ran forward, "I've finally found you." ”
She didn't look up, her body was shaking, and she seemed to be greatly frightened.
Tarrant put the katana aside and reached out to hold her arm, "Katrina, what's wrong with you?"
She let out a sudden scream, broke away from his hand, and ran towards the door.
Katrina must still be hallucinating, and Tarrant catches up, "That's an illusion, there's nothing here!"
The mage didn't hear him and continued to run towards the gate, speeding up and seeming ...... She's going to bang on the door!
Mysterious hallucinations were dominating the mage's mind in an attempt to make her kill herself by slamming the door, and Tarrant sped up with all his might, lunging forward, grabbing the hem of Katrina's robe with his right hand, and the two of them rolled to the ground.
Tarrant grabbed the mage's feet, "Katrina, wake up!"
The mage crawled and struggled desperately, letting out a trembling scream, and the other foot kicked him in the face, and she hallucinated that some terrible creature must have grabbed her foot.
Tarrant blocked in front of him with his left hand, still receiving two footprints in a row on his face, and then he flashed a blow, grabbed the mage's feet, and pressed it with his body, "Katrina, it's me!"
The mage flailed his arms in panic, completely oblivious to Tarrant's words.
Unable to control her first, Tarrant climbed onto Katrina's body, pressed her lower limbs with his body, and pressed her arms with both hands.
The mage was crushed underneath him, his body shaking violently, and Tarrant shouted, "Katrina!"
She stopped struggling and looked at Tarrant blankly, her eyes gradually calming down, "...... Tarrant......?"
"Thank goodness you're finally awake", Tarrant breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you...... I just saw ...... Why are you ......" The mage's consciousness has not yet completely detached from the illusion control, and he is unable to connect the events for a while.
"You just hallucinated and almost hit the door. ”
"Is it a hallucination?" Catrina's eyes were full of doubts, she wanted to sit up, and suddenly found Tarrant sitting on top of her, the two of them were disheveled, the hem of her robe was rolled up in a panic, and Tarrant's sleeves were torn, "We ......"
Tarrant realized that the posture of the two was not normal, and quickly let go of his hand, "You were going to hurt yourself just now......" He got up, "I'm sorry......"
The mage stood up, lowered his head and shyly adjusted his robe, and was silent for a long time before asking, "...... What about them?"
"Still in the aisle," Tarrant picked up the torches and katana on the ground, "I see what that sentence on the board means." ”
"What transverse board...... Oh, sincerity is at ease?" the mage was clearly unsettled, thinking about something else.
"Yes, I saw the Spirit Sucker, and Kitty saw the Bone Golem, which means that the hallucinations in the aisle are for individuals, and it must work according to your fears, so that you can see the most fearful things that fit the scene. ”
The mage bowed his head and did not speak.
Tarrant went on to explain his findings, "So as long as we believe that what we see is an illusion, no matter what terrible things we see, they will disappear. ”
The two of them walked into the aisle just now, and the horizontal board appeared in front of them.
"Maybe ......," the mage looked up and pointed at it, "I misunderstood, the word in the middle, there are two meanings in the ancient saying, piety or calmness, and the meaning that suits this should be: peace of mind." ”
"Peace of mind?" Tarrant snapped, "That's right, as long as the mind is calm and there is no fear of the current situation, those hallucinations will not appear." ”
The two continued to move forward, Kitty and Rex were waiting there, and when they saw the torches appear, Kitty excitedly greeted them, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay", Tarrant wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and was kicked twice in a row, with a fishy smell in his mouth, "How is Rex?"
The wound on the priest's face was already red, and there were fist marks everywhere, which must have been not light, and he replied slowly: "...... Not...... ...... thing"
Kitty bowed her head guiltily, "It's all my ......"
"It's not your responsibility, and besides, you've shown mercy and haven't turned into a wolf or a bear," Tarrant had intended to make a joke to lighten the mood, but it made the situation even more awkward, and Kitty's whole head hung down.
Katrina patted Kitty on the shoulder, "We've all made mistakes, don't worry." ”
"Yes, yes," Tarrant said with a dry laugh, "hurry up and get on the road, this place is not a good place to stay." ”
Rex raised his hand, "Give me a hand." ”
He rarely made such requests, which at least showed that the relationship between the priest and his teammates had become more intimate, and Tarrant stepped forward and put his arm on his shoulder, "gladly", and he shouted to the two teammates behind him, "Ladies, keep up, whatever you see, it's an illusion." ”
The four of them moved slowly, the hallucinations did not appear again, and after safely walking some distance, a door appeared in the side wall.
The size of the usual door frame was about the same, with a crack in the middle, traces of weapons, but at least thousands of years ago.
"Beware of the traps", Rex warned.
Tarrant brought the torch close to the crack, the light penetrated, and there was nothing near the doorway, "empty", and before Rex could reply, he raised his foot and kicked it, and the door panel fell in two, and the dust kicked up.
A large space, full of black ash, a dozen blackened rectangular tables, scattered chairs, once destroyed by the flames of war.
"It looks like an office, or maybe a council chamber," Catrina guessed, "and there's no way I'm going to find anything here." ”
"No," Tarrant helped the priest in, "this is exactly what we need, burning materials, easy to defend, and we're resting here." ”
