Chapter 167: Brave and Cowardly (2-in-1)
The visitor stopped at the dividing line between shadow and light, and did not take another step forward into the light.
"This man is dangerous."
Lynn took Charlotte behind her with a solemn face: "Your Highness, you stand back." β
β.......β
Charlotte didn't move.
She watched Lynn's movements, and suddenly she was a little stunned.
"You're ......."
"What's wrong?" Lynn looked back confusedly.
"No, no, nothing."
Charlotte obediently stepped back, looking at Lynn and then at the shadows in the distance.
For some reason, a strange sense of strangeness suddenly rose in her heart.
The situation in front of me seems to be nothing special.
Encounter the enemy, resist the enemy, that's all.
But inexplicably, Charlotte had a strange sudden birth in her heart.
It's like seeing a very real picture, thinking it's a picture recorded by a magic projection, but when you walk in, you suddenly realize that it's actually a picture drawn by a brush.
Looking at it again, it doesn't seem to be so real anymore, and everywhere it reveals the falsehood of trying to imitate the truth.
Suppressing the weirdness in her heart for a while, Charlotte raised her eyes and stared at the confrontation between the two.
When his gaze fell on the person in the shadows, the strangeness in his heart suddenly reached its peak.
It's as if this person shouldn't exist here.
........
Lynn quietly looked at the person in front of him who looked like herself, thoughtfully.
After a brief observation, he had roughly judged the type of illusion.
Perhaps it was the reason why Yin Nok had been somewhat tainted with the relationship between the Lord of Pleasure, and the illusion he made was also a fantasy of desire.
The "self" in front of him would actually make such an action, and I think it should be born because of the "hope" of the owner of the illusion.
"So, does she want me to protect her....... Well, it's normal to be isolated in an unfamiliar environment, and subconsciously want to rely on the people around you. β
After understanding the general nature of the illusion a little, Lynn waved her hand.
"Get out of the way."
[Phantom Lynn] was stunned and did not move.
"Don't you understand me? Is it because I'm an 'interloper'? β
Lynn thought for a moment, pointed at him, and then to the side.
You should be able to understand this now, right?
As it turned out, it did get it.
[Phantom Lynn] smiled and said, "You let me get out of the way?" Want me to expose the people I am sheltering? β
β........β
Lynn felt that if such an illusion was thrown into his own illusion for him to distinguish, then he could tell with just one look that it was definitely not himself.
When the matter has become a fact in front of you, it is pointless to try to shake the other party with words, and only a stronger counterattack can tell the other side what is the real truth.
"Boom-"
Hit hard in the abdomen, [Phantom Lynn] could not resist the majestic force transmitted from the opponent's knuckles, and retreated again and again, until it hit a giant tree.
He clutched his abdomen and tried to curl up and catch his breath, but the opponent was not a robot, and this was not a turn-based game, if you punch me, I can punch you.
The real game often does not give an inch, and every chance of survival is pressed into the smallest possible way with the fist and sword blade.
[Phantom Lynn] saw that the opponent was urgent, so he could only grit his teeth and launch a counterattack.
His counterattack was so simple that it was just a straight punch, and he didn't even use the strength of his waist, abdomen, shoulders, and back.
"Oh?"
Lynn stood still suddenly, squinting slightly, as if thinking of something.
I didn't think about it for too long, because the opponent's fist style was already imminent.
Although the way the power works is not perfect, its momentum can be considered more or less threatening, but just as it is about to reach the opponent's eyes, Lynn suddenly twists, clenches his fist, and hits the opponent's wrist joint junction with little force.
His speed is not fast, but he is just able to hit, and his strength is not strong, but he happens to be able to crush all the power in his fist.
This is a skill, a skill that Illusion cannot have.
Because of its master, there is no such knowledge.
Intercepting and killing, without waiting for the opponent to fight back again, Lynn stepped up closely, using his elbow as a knife and stabbing the opponent's heart.
"Katsaβ"
The sound of broken ribs came, and [Phantom Lynn] could not resist the onslaught of this tidal wave of body, and retreated again and again, lying on his back to the ground.
"Yes...... ....... abominable"
Phantom Lynn struggled to get up, but her battered body struggled to respond to her brain's commands.
He could only reluctantly tilt his head and look to the side.
There, Charlotte watched the battle on this side, covering her lips and widening her eyes.
"How, how."
Whether it is rumors, information, or some so-called facts, they all tell her that Lynn's strength, at least among students of the same level, is something that no one can match, and she can't even smell a fart.
But now, in a one-on-one heads-up, he was actually knocked down?
Among them, there may be a reason why he didn't use the blood armor, but this is also ....... Too easy, right?
Charlotte looked at the still shadow-covered figure.
Who is this person?
She wanted to change her position and look at the face of the stranger, but the other party didn't give her this opportunity, and suddenly retreated a long way.
And at the moment when Lynn dodged, there was another loud bang from the place where he was standing.
"Boom-"
The ground trembled, and large cracks like cobwebs spread out in an instant, and in the center of it, a depth of more than a meter emerged as the smoke and dust cleared, and in the midst of it, [Fantasy Lynn] was standing in it.
His whole body shimmered with blood-colored light, and the armor that looked ill covered his sunken chest, and the whole person seemed to have fully regained his mobility.
"Damn......."
Lynn's eyes finally became serious.
Compared to melee skills, [Illusion] can't compare to his ontology, for sure.
Charlotte, who was born in the royal palace, is unlikely to have similar knowledge, not even how to exert power, so even if it is a fantasy, it cannot be framed outside of vision.
As for Lynn, he has been practicing these since he was a child, and ordinary warriors may not be able to compare to him in terms of mastery of his body, let alone an illusion based on the knowledge of the little princess.
If you continue to follow this process, it will definitely not be difficult to defeat it.
But the problem is that the little princess, not without seeing him fight.
The last time they were in Rogers' Tower, before they were ready to deal with the Brown Scorpion, Charlotte had clearly read every line of information about the Brown Armor Scorpion.
The body data of the brown-armored giant scorpion given by these materials is not an exaggeration, and through the memory of the human brain, it is completely possible to find analogous options for matching composition, and it just so happens that Lynn is extremely relaxed when dealing with the brown-armored giant scorpion.
This means that in Charlotte's mind, although there may be no way to lack how strong Lynn's strength attribute is, at least, it can give an attribute equivalent to the data of the brown armor giant scorpion.
If this is in the real world outside, Lynn is not afraid, but this is not reality.
He didn't have blood armor, he didn't have Yin Witt, and he couldn't even use magic.
- In the illusion, there is no magic at all, because the human brain cannot thoroughly analyze the mysterious composition of magic!
Faced with the [Illusion] with the attributes of Warcraft, Lynn felt that it might be a little difficult for him to fight head-on with a human body.
Then, there is only a breakthrough from the side.
Seeing [Phantom Lynn] rushing towards him with his fist, Lynn squinted slightly, his footsteps flowed, and he began to run without a track.
Fortunately, the speed of the brown armor giant scorpion was pinched and exploded by Lynn before it was really displayed at that time, so that Charlotte could not really feel the impact of that speed, making the speed of [Phantom Lynn] still fast, but far less exaggerated.
However, for Lynn, who did not have any blessings, this speed, coupled with extraordinary strength, was still somewhat threatening.
But it's just a threat.
"Boom-"
A single punch severed the waist of a giant tree, and anger suddenly rose in the eyes of [Phantom Lynn].
Looking at the real Lynn, who had narrowly avoided again, the corners of [Vision's] lips curled with a sneer.
"The weak are really just the weak, and there is nothing but escape."
Lynn raised her eyebrows: "I don't admit that this is my definition of the weak." β
"In my opinion, the so-called weak people refer to people who are neither capable nor willing to rely on actions to gain ability, and for people who are willing to work hard to find a breaking point, I don't think they are weak."
"They're just not good enough."
"Huh."
[Phantom Lynn] threw another punch and mocked: "The incompetent don't matter how hard they work, they are always incompetent, and for the more capable people, they are the weak!" β
Lynn stood still and shrugged slightly: "Okay, I can barely agree with this, talent is indeed a very important step."
"Also, the weak do exist in relative terms, but who told you that I stand in front of you, and I will be the weaker side?"
[Phantom Lynn] smiled even more coldly: "In that case, why don't you dare to fight me head-on." β
"Isn't it a fool's job to fight weakness against strength?"
Lynn laughed: "But since you said so, it can't be said without touching it." β
He hooked his fingers: "Come, let me see what you are capable of, and how much of my mind can be simulated." β
"Huh."
He sneered again. Phantom Lynn walked forward slowly, raising her eyes and scanning all directions, trying to find a possible point of retreat for the opponent, while her body was ready to strike the strongest blow.
However, when his gaze swept behind Lynn, he suddenly stopped.
"What, not coming?" Lynn clasped his hands to his chest and smiled happily, "Then again, my purpose was not to fight with you from the beginning." β
"Bastard!
β
"Words are the weakest rebuttal, and the angrier you are, the more powerless you can do about it."
Lynn squinted slightly and whispered, "Do you want to try it?" β
"Try to defeat me without harming the person you want to 'protect'."
Phantom Lynn glared at him, but did nothing.
"Tsk, I can't say it's slightly similar, I can only say that it's not like me at all."
Looking at his appearance, Lynn thought silently in her heart.
When he was just dodging, he saw Charlotte standing alone and stunned, without a sense of crisis at all.
So, an idea came to mind.
This illusion, which is completely different from herself except for its appearance, was created based on Charlotte's thoughts and thoughts, and what Charlotte hoped was that someone could protect her when danger came.
[Illusion] is based on Charlotte's creation, Charlotte's thoughts are his underlying logic, and all actions must follow this rule to carry out, and it is impossible to violate them.
And because the little princess doesn't have much knowledge about combat, after the [Illusion] is made, she doesn't know anything about combat skills, and she has no strength but can't control it finely.
When Lynn stood next to Charlotte, it was impossible for [Illusion] to really do it because of the conflict of underlying logic.
"Bastard bastard bastard!
οΌ β
"Ahh Lynn said with some distress, "I'm not very good at swearing, but I don't have such a small vocabulary, right?" β
"Bastard!
β
Looking up to the sky and roaring, [Phantom Lynn] suddenly stepped on the ground, the flying sand and stones scattered and splashed, the smoke and dust wrinkled, and almost instantly blurred the vision.
Worst.
Lynn's hole shrank suddenly.
Does it really dare?
Could it be .......
Lynn didn't have time to think about it, and the sense of crisis had already permeated all corners of his body in an instant.
He had to avoid it.
When he inadvertently approached Charlotte, he had actually deliberately adjusted the safe distance between him and [Illusion].
If you want to avoid it, you can do it.
It's just that when he subconsciously retreated, he suddenly bumped into a soft body.
A small mistake is likely to result in a serious injury.
- But, no.
"Bang-"
Charlotte held a staff that had been conjured out of nowhere, panting, looking at the fallen [Vision] in front of her, and then at Lynn.
"Whew-"
Charlotte sat down as if she had lost her strength, breathed a sigh of relief, and forced a soothing smile.
"You, you're okay, it's great."
β.......β
Lynn looked down at her slightly dark eyes and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to organize the language.
"You....... Very powerful. β
"Hey, hey."
Charlotte scratched her head and didn't look away.
"So....... Did you already know it was me? β
Charlotte pursed her lips and nodded.
She is not stupid, how can she not even run when she sees her opponent approaching her.
The reason why I didn't run was naturally because I saw something.
Yes, in her heart, she really hopes that someone can sacrifice her life to protect her and take her out of danger when she is in danger.
However, the man standing next to him now was Lynn.
He will not protect himself for no reason.
No, absolutely not.
She was incredibly sure of it.
Therefore, although [illusion] is what she wants, it is too extravagant to really master it.
She was too timid to ask for so much.
It's the same even in a fantasy that relies entirely on subconscious instincts.
But just because she's timid doesn't mean she's not brave.
In the face of danger, she actually had rare courage.
Maybe it was the subconscious attack of "gotta do him a favor" from the overwork of the day before, or maybe it was something else, but in short, she swung that stick and knocked down the person who might threaten him - this was her world, and she could do it!
So, lo and behold, how complicated people are.
The same person stands by the same person, but can be both brave and timid.
Brave enough to defeat such a dangerous enemy, but too timid to stand shoulder to shoulder.
That's really........
Charlotte didn't know what to say about herself, but she couldn't scold herself, so she could only give her bravery a bright smile in her heart that outsiders couldn't see.
"Hey, I'm so smart!"
