Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Early Attack

Sensing that something was wrong, Leo looked into the surrounding forest and found nothing of note.

So he dismantled the psionic ability, turned on the organ enhancement mode of the perfect control skill, and then temporarily improved the sensory abilities of sight, hearing and smell through psionic energy, and collected all the information he saw, heard and smelled in the auxiliary brain system, analyzed and organized, and projected it into the eyeball to form a three-dimensional image.

"So there it was!"

Soon Leo noticed something unusual in the woods, and in the forest, more than fifty meters away from him, a group of patrolling mountain guards fell unconscious, and not far from these mountain guards, there was a very strange bush.

According to the analysis of the information collected by the paracerebral system, the shape of this grove is exactly the same as that of another grove three meters away from it, as if looking in a mirror, and Leo's hearing can also hear the breathing and heartbeats of five people coming from the grove. More importantly, his sense of smell smelled a familiar scent of perfume, and it didn't take much thought for him to guess the identity of someone in the bushes.

Although the anomaly had already been discovered, Leo did not intend to take the initiative to come up and make contact, but stopped the perfect control skill, gathered the aura on his body and continued to squat on the tree, paying attention to the situation on the wasteland in front of him.

At this time, the people in the wasteland did not realize that their guards in the forest had been wiped out, and their focus was all on the ongoing religious rituals.

At this moment, the old man had changed into a cloak of animal skins, and carried a crown made of unknown animal bones on his head, and walked up the steps to the top of the temporary altar, placed the mysterious skin in his hand in the center of the altar, and then recited aloud these unintelligible languages to the sky.

Just as the old man began the ceremony, except for the five church knights who stood around the altar to protect the altar, the others, including the speaker of the continental congress, all knelt on the ground and prayed in another language, and the prayer gradually merged with the old man's shouting, producing another strange sound.

Leo's psychic perception sensed that a stream of psionic energy was emanating from the wasteland, and this psionic energy was like a heart stretching and vibrating.

With a strong curiosity, Leo turned on the psionic skill, only to see that the wasteland seeped out of the ground at this moment a purple psionic energy, entrenched on the ground to form a layer of psionic mist, and at the same time, more than a dozen psionic tentacles drilled out of the psionic mist, stretched out into the air of the altar, intertwined with each other, and converged.

At the same time, a purple light gushed out from the skin on the altar and fused with the purple spiritual energy that had gathered in the sky, gradually forming a spherical vague image with tentacles.

"Will Value!" Seeing this monster-like blurred image, Leo immediately opened the personal data interface to check the daily value of will.

However, what surprised him was that his daily value of the will showed no signs of decreasing, and it was only then that he remembered that his paracerebral system didn't seem to be issuing a warning.

"What's going on?" Leo couldn't help but wonder, but soon he remembered the intensity of the psionic wave he had encountered, as if he understood something, and looked at the psionic tentacle eyeballs that were floating in the air and gradually becoming clearer with a strange look.

The reason why Leo casually watched the tentacle eyeball composed of psionic energy and no longer worried that his daily value of his will would be affected was mainly because he had discovered the real situation of this eyeball.

He speculated that the body of this eyeball was in the giant rock sphere under the wasteland, and it should have been sealed in it by the ancient wizards, and judging from the strength of the psionic waves generated by the wizards of this sphere, the strongest body of the eyeball was only equivalent to a ninth-level psionic being, not an advanced creature that had evolved into an omega-level.

Only the god-like omega-level creatures in this world will have an impact on Leo's daily value of will, no matter how strong the eyeball body is, as long as it does not cross the final evolutionary step, its creature level is the same as Leo's, so there is no such thing as rank suppression, level influence, etc.

Although this is not an omega-level creature, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only a sigh of relief, because after all, the psionic level of this mysterious creature is as high as level nine, and it is also the kind of existence that makes people look up to mountains in the Earth Federation, and it is definitely not something that a second-level psionic person like him can compete with.

Now, the ritual that the high priest of the mysterious church is doing should be some kind of divine descent ceremony, and the piece of skin placed on the altar is likely to belong to this eyeball creature, and the old man is communicating the will of the forbidden eyeball creature through this skin, so that it can enter the skin and achieve the purpose of spiritual presence.

"The moment of arrival should be the weakest time for this eyeball creature, and I guess they should be waiting for this opportunity!" Leo calculated the best time to make a move after carefully analyzing the situation in front of him.

At this time, he looked down at the forest behind him, and found that the abnormal bush had moved to the edge of the wasteland, and the shape of the bush had changed to another shape, so he vaguely guessed the intentions of these people.

Since someone took the initiative to charge into battle, Leo naturally would not refuse, and he preferred to secretly attack at a critical time and make a final decision.

While Leo was waiting for his time to make a move, the mist-like purple psionic energy on the ground had become very thin, and all of them had converged on the altar, and the huge purple eyeball with hundreds of tentacles had become very real, and through the spiritual vision, he could even see the scales on this eyeball and the fluff on each tentacle.

At this moment, the huge eyeball seemed to feel Leo's vision, and suddenly turned in a direction and looked at Leo.

The people under the altar did not notice anything abnormal about this movement of the eyeball, but the high priest who was in a psychic state above the altar felt it.

So, instead of interrupting the prayer he was chanting, the high priest raised his hand and pointed towards the woods where Leo was.

The spiritual origin of this eyeball creature sensed Leo's spiritual vision, and the location it looked at was also where Leo was, and the high priest could only vaguely sense the woods noticed by the eyeball creature through psychics, so he pointed it out.

However, it was even more coincidental that the men lurking in the forest were located not far from the trees where Leo was, leading them to think that the High Priest had spotted them.

A series of miscalculations resulted in an attack that should have had to wait a while and had to be carried out earlier.

I saw that the bushes not far under the Leo tree suddenly disappeared and turned into a large black cloak, and then the cloak was lifted, and from it rushed out three clergy knights in armor and robes with the coat of arms of the Holy See, and rushed towards the altar.

The five church knights on the other side also drew their weapons fearlessly at this time and met them, and at the same time, those guards took out their bows and crossbows one after another to shoot at the three church knights.

Just before those guards could load the bow and crossbow with their arrow magazines, they saw more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out of the black cloak in an instant, and these crossbow arrows hit the vital point of the guards' necks with great accuracy, killing them instantly.

Then I saw Sylvia, wearing a red and black lace leather trench coat with the Gothic style of the Earth Federation, holding a mechanical repeater and a stabbing sword in her hands, and the black cloak also turned into a cloud of black mist and shrank into the skirt of a lady in black.

On the other hand, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the five-on-three church knight group battle, on the one hand, the orthodox church uses the cross sword that Leo is extremely familiar with, but it is less than the cross sword that Leo knows, and there is more swordsmanship, which makes the lethality much less.

On the other hand, the five secret church knights also used the cross sword swordsmanship, but their swordsmanship has obviously changed, and they have a little more sneaky assassination skills, but the lethality of the head-on battle is worse than the cross sword of the Orthodox Church, but because of their tacit cooperation with each other, they are inseparable from the three Orthodox Church knights.

Leo, who was crouching in the tree, focused his attention on the eight church knights, and he used his secondary brain system to record the battles of these church knights, analyze them, and integrate them into his melee cold weapon skills.

Although his attention was mainly on the knights of the Church, he was equally unconcerned about Sylvia and the mysterious noblewoman's situation.

I saw that after Sylvia killed those guards and appeared, she immediately rushed to the wasteland, and at the same time aimed her bow and crossbow at the high priest on the altar, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, when the arrow was about to touch the high priest, it was blocked by an invisible force.

To the outsider, it seemed that the High Priest had a protective shield around him, but in Leo's eyes, it was the tentacles of the eyeball creature that blocked the arrows, and the eyeball creature also pierced the corpses of the guards who had been shot dead before.

Seeing that the arrows had no effect, Sylvia did not show a surprised expression, and still had a confident and calm look.

I saw that she quickly took out a red arrow box from her body and fastened it to the mechanical repeater in her hand, and inserted the sword in her hand into the scabbard at her waist, pulled the knob next to the scabbard, and then pulled out a short sword.

Most of the people present couldn't understand Sylvia's movements, but Leo's psionic vision could see it clearly, the red quiver box used by Sylvia was a special psionic weapon, and there seemed to be some kind of device in the scabbard that made the ordinary bayonet sword cover a short sword, and turned into a psionic weapon in a short period of time.

After changing her weapons, Sylvia raised her repeater and fired several arrows at the High Priestess, but this time her arrows still had no effect, as they were all caught by the Speaker of the Continental Council, only the psionic impact cut the Speaker's hand into a bloody blur.

"Sylvia, you shouldn't have come here, don't you know that your men and allies are being hunted by Rupert?" said the Speaker as he severed the crossbow arrow in his hand, ignoring the injuries on his hand, and smiled at Sylvia.

I have to say that as a politician, the smile of the Continental Congress Speaker is very affinity, and many people have been deceived by this smile, including Sylvia.

Sylvia has great trust in the Speaker, not only introducing her allies to him, but even giving him his hidden subordinates for a period of time, only to be rewarded with devastating betrayal. That's why she trusted this smile then, and how much she hates it now.

"Don't let him delay time, they're taking medicine!" At this time, the lady in black suddenly reminded.

I saw that all the mountain people under the altar took out a test tube from their pockets, pulled the plug open, and sucked out the purple mist inside, and everyone's skin instantly turned dark purple, and emitted a jewel-like silver light, but their faces became extremely hideous, and the bones of their heads were kneaded by an invisible force, and soon turned them into a monster with purple gem skin, only one eye and a sharp tooth and a big mouth.

After the transformation was completed, the monsters all rushed towards Sylvia immediately, and it seemed that they would not stop until Sylvia was killed to pieces.

"I'll hold them back, you solve it as soon as possible. At this moment, the lady in black, who had always maintained her graceful state, said to Sylvia, and then the whole person suddenly turned into a black shadow, enveloping these monsters in it, trapping them like a black cage.

"It seems that the Orthodox Holy See has also degenerated, and it is even cooperating with the Dark Clan, and it is said that we are evil god beliefs, don't you think it's ridiculous?" the speaker watched this black shadow trap the monsters that those mountain people had turned into, and did not stop it, but looked at Sylvia with a mocking expression, and said.

At the same time, the three subordinates beside the speaker also invariably absorbed the purple gas of the test tubes on their bodies, but they absorbed three, and the color was much darker than those mountain people.

At this time, their bodies swelled rapidly, their muscles bulged outward, and their skin could not support the increase in muscles, so they were torn apart, and finally when their changes stopped, all three of them turned into three skinless cyclops with exposed muscles.

At the same time, the dead guards behind them all rose from the ground, drew their knightly swords at their waists, and rushed towards Sylvia with arrows around their necks.

Seeing someone rushing to kill, the three muscular cyclops also blended in with the resurrected guards and slew at Sylvia.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation in front of her, Sylvia did not panic, and quickly hung the crossbow in her hand on a mechanical device on her waist, and there was an extra catapult on the crossbow, and in the catapult were seven special bombs, which she believed were enough to turn the situation around

Just as Sylvia was about to throw her killer move, a strange sight not only stunned her, but also the Speaker and the three cyclops as enemies.

It turned out that the resurrected guards ignored Sylvia and ran straight past her as if she didn't exist, rushing straight into the woods where they had been hiding.

Just as the resurrected guards were about to rush into the woods, a black shadow leaped down from a tree, and as it fell, its hands shone with silver light, sweeping through the group of guards like a wheel of light, and then nearly half of the newly resurrected guards fell to the ground again, only this time they could not get up again.
