With Shuge's order, the Roots of Fate, who had been hated by the creatures of the world of Van En in ancient times, finally got a golden opportunity to show their abilities once again.

The closed theater hall is as pure and uniform darkness as a high-end curtain, and the "audience" is scattered around, while the silent "director" and "actor" stand in the center of the venue.

The "set" began.

In accordance with Shuge's instructions and thoughts, the translucent monstrous bodies of the Roots of Fate writhed rapidly, capable of creating massive false illusions that tore through the silent darkness.

The illusion created by the Roots of Fate is never limited to the visual level.

In order to be able to confuse all living beings and turn them into prey to fall into traps, the illusions of the Roots of Fate have always been directly established in the spiritual realm, that is, by directly confusing the spiritual world of the target, to create the most realistic illusions.

As the illusion began to take shape, the children of the Abyss, who had been resting and sleeping, awoke one after another, and immediately afterward, they were keenly aware of the astonishing changes taking place in their lair—at some point, a large number of "prey" had arrived in the hall, they seemed to be fully armed and menacing.

Before some of the Abyss Descendants could react, the heavily armed "prey" began to spray fiery flames into all corners of the lair using cold magic equipment, and in an instant, many of their kind were burned into useless slag in the flames.

Under the "director" of Xiuge, a retaliatory sneak attack by the survivors of Salem City against the Descendants of the Abyss unfolds.

It is not difficult for the Roots of Destiny to create illusions of this scale, with the support of the magic of Xiuge, these intelligent and strange Roots have built this special illusion without flaws, every detail has a corresponding Roots Branch, and every survivor phantom of the action also has a special manipulator.

False confusion erupted at this moment.

Despite the fact that none of the Descendants of the Abyss died in the flames of the survivors, as mutilated creations that possessed some of the memories and knowledge of humanity but were unable to use them flexibly, the Descendants had lost their most basic judgment the moment they were pulled into this vast hallucination, and they did not even notice that they had no spiritual connection or resonance with their own kind who were burned to death.

In the face of the provocation of the "prey", the children of the Abyss who had gathered in the theater hall became enraged, and they quickly completed the assembly, and the viscous amorphous body grew sharp fangs and arthropods, and in this way, they crushed the intruders.

The survivors who invaded the lair immediately suffered heavy casualties.

According to Shug's instructions, the Roots of Fate thoughtfully constructed the horde of the survivors when they were torn apart by the group of children, and these figures in the illusion were either devoured or burned to death by the flames sprayed by their companions due to improper manipulation.

And after the Descendants of the Abyss's counterattack succeeded in tearing open a gap, they made a new discovery.

They noticed that among the daring prey, there stood a tall figure holding a cane, and at this moment, all the descendants of the abyss were boiling.

Because of the previous series of head-on conflicts, the image and aura of Hug have long been remembered by all the children of the Abyss in the city of Seren, this is the absolute command and will conveyed by their huge subject, and within their limited but common spirit and consciousness, Hug Ernst is definitely the ultimate and highest priority target of the entire race in this closed hunting ground.

Of course, it is also the most dangerous.

The illusion of both truth and falsehood has completely captivated these seemingly stupid, but quite intelligent creatures, following the subject's orders in the past, quickly splitting into a group of individuals, who quickly burrowed into the corners of the theater hall, and they flowed like water into the huge cracks in the ground into the sewers that crisscrossed the city of Salem, and successfully passed the news of "important target found".

At this moment, most of the basic goal of Xiuge has been accomplished.

But he didn't choose to leave immediately, after all, with the wisdom of the Descendant of the Abyss, it is very likely that it will question Xiuge's actions, and he must make it seem more real and unassailable.

Therefore, Shug stepped forward directly, and as a matter of course, he launched an attack on the children who remained inside the theater hall, and for a moment, the touch of Calon swept out of the darkness beside Shug and began to mercilessly harvest the surrounding targets.

At the same time, the illusion created by the Roots of Fate continues.

Thus, the children of the Abyss inside the theater saw a very real picture - they saw that the prey who dared to raid the nest of the tribe began to retreat after killing a large number of their kind, and as the leader of the "prey", Xiuge chose the queen of the palace, just like the memories conveyed and shared by the subject, he summoned countless hideous tentacles to tear his own kind, and used the thick black mist to devour his own power.

Everything is very real.

Everything was just right.

And when these extremely true and detailed messages were successfully conveyed to the huge subject hidden underground, all the children of the abyss in the city of Celem were summoned by the same will, at this moment, all the heirs in the city of Celem stopped their ongoing actions, they gave up hunting and resting, left the hideout, returned to the underground pipes that extended in all directions, and began to converge with their own kind, and in just a few minutes, the black tide of death was formed again.

Far away at the Iris Street outpost, the Legislature mages managed to detect the strange fluctuations in the magic, and they were horrified to find that the mudslide-like chaos of magic hidden underground had completely converged and began to move in an orderly manner towards the northern part of the city of Seren.

At this moment, the mages finally understood the true meaning of "walking on thin ice".

They even felt the road squirming under their feet.

Despite their fear, they faithfully fulfilled their duty, and as soon as the terrifying fluctuations of magic had passed, they sent a magical signal in the direction of Iris Street and the Dharma's premises, and shortly after receiving the signal, the first survivors who were ready to move to the southern gates immediately set out on the journey with a large amount of supplies.

……

Shuge still didn't choose to evacuate.

The illusions constructed by the Roots of Fate also continue.

At this time, a large number of Dark Abyss Descendants had already arrived in the abandoned theater, and Xiuge was actually encircled, but he had no intention of leaving.

Even if he is not facing a human being now, Xiuge does not want to cause unnecessary consequences because of his deviation, he must ensure that all the monsters in the city gather in his direction.

According to the predetermined plan, while Xiuge attracts the attention of the Descendants of the Abyss and allows the survivors on the south side of Salem to begin to move, the mages in the Dharma's residency will also need to speed up the progress of the experiment, and over the next six days, they must complete all the scheduled verifications and relay the final results through public magic signals.

In the following evacuation operation, Xiuge has already made a plan, whether the experiment is successful or not, and whether or not the mages of the Law Council can exert enough influence on the consciousness of the children of the Abyss, Xiuge has a corresponding method to achieve the intended goal.

The will of the Ernst family, who had always acted as his advisers, was unanimous in their unanimity on these plans.

The "elders" of Hugue's theory, whether it was the old general Bernhardt or the countess Alexandra, strongly disagreed with the tendency of Hug in these plans, and they believed that Hug should not take such a big risk for the sake of other people, because it would most likely cost his own life.

But at this point, Shug did not leave any room for his advisers to make suggestions.

The constant surging magic in his body, as well as the illusions of fate that Xiuge had glimpsed during all this time, made him firm in what he was going to do next and the choices he might make.

In the illusion he weaved, the survivors who dared to attack the lair of the Descendants of the Abyss had been killed and wounded, and Shug was now the only remnant of this group of invaders, and this false "progress" made the Descendants of the Abyss even more crazy, although their main group had not yet arrived and had given them the order to "surround", the strong predatory instinct had been infinitely amplified in the illusion deliberately created by Xiuge, so they continued to rush in the direction of Xiuge, There was no fear of Xiuge's counterattack at all.

And that's exactly what Siuge wants to see.

The false illusion of forgery began to slowly shrink, and as Xiuge continued to make subtle manipulations and adjustments, the roots of fate responsible for creating illusions and confusing the descendants of the Abyss gradually dissipated, and more Calon touches appeared, and they began to continuously sweep in this dark and oppressive space with the support of Xiuge's huge magical stock, and a large number of children were shattered on the spot, but then these fragments immediately merged with their own kind and became new individuals.

Soon, the last cluster of Roots of Fate was recalled by Xiuge, and the illusion created was completely terminated, but at this moment, the Descendants of the Abyss had completely fallen into the fanatical pursuit of the important goal of hunting, and they were not aware of the strange flow of magic around them, nor did they realize that the survivors who were "hunted" by them before were simply some useless abandoned wreckage.

"Come on, come on...... Come to me. ”

Xiuge completely lifted the mask of the abyssal magic on his own aura, and at the same time, a large number of mirror messenger mist climbed the arthrops and blades at the end of Calon's touch, and he began to wantonly devour and absorb the power of the surrounding heirs just like before, and such actions and changes immediately attracted the attention of the main body of the descendants of the abyss.

The ground began to tremble, the magic in the air became violent, and within Xiuge's spiritual world, there was once again a clear warning.

"The warning signs are stronger than ever...... It seems that as my own magic grows, the evolution of these crippled creations continues, and they seem to progress even faster than mine? ”

Feeling the speed of the massive disk, Shug made a quick judgment in his heart, and after a few seconds, he was keenly aware of an unusual wave approaching, so a large number of Calon Touches immediately stopped attacking the surrounding children, they quickly retracted, and rolled towards the top of the theater with incredible speed, accurately and forcefully hooking the still solid sculptures and protrusions, and forcibly carrying Xiug's body off the ground.

At the same time, in the pitch-black theater hall, the ground that was originally covered with bones, wreckage, architectural debris and all kinds of garbage suddenly "bulged".

It looked like a huge bubble popping up in the mire, expanding upwards.

With his magical vision, Xiuge could clearly see what was happening below, it was the result of a large amount of pitch-black slime squeezing out of various gaps and rapidly converging on the ground, and the moment this behemoth appeared, all the children who had previously fought against Xiuge immediately and spontaneously converged into it, so it became even larger, and almost instantly filled the entire theater.

It was a horrific scenario that would break the mind of any survivor in the city of Seren.

However, in the face of this rapidly approaching threat, Shug showed extreme calm, and with the help of Calron's touch, he quickly moved towards a gap above the roof of the theater, and successfully passed through it, and Xiuge, who had re-entered the outside world, saw the real appearance of the area at this time through the bright light.

He saw that countless black shadows were converging from all directions, as if they were trying to turn the entire area into a sea of slime, and the abandoned theater at the foot of Xiug became a pitiful island in this deadly water.

A strange and twisted roar came from under Xiuge's feet, and then, the slime was forced to reach the gap where Xiuge had escaped with the support and stacking of countless of its kind, and they slowly wriggled out, forming a human form with a clear outline directly under the sunlight.

"We ...... Meet again. ”

A strange voice twisted together by a myriad of voices speaks fluently in the universal language of Vann.

Shug glanced at the strange humanoid, but he didn't answer, his gaze drifted inadvertently to the sky, where there was a faint color left by a magical signal.
