Chapter 38: Illusion
Consumption, obviously, with Esther's current means, he can only defeat the other party in the way of consumption.
Yes, in Esther's opinion, he can only defeat the opponent, not kill him.
After all, with the opponent's blood-turning methods, it is too difficult to kill the opponent.
The first time he fought with Esther, Mogulid also suffered a careless loss.
The magic power in the body has been worn out by two, and the wear and tear are different meanings.
Consume, just consume, can also be quickly restored.
But if it is worn out, it is equivalent to cutting the upper limit, and even if the magic power is restored, his strength will be two percent weaker than before.
Of course, this is because of the nature of his magic, and this worn out is not irreversible, but it will take a long time, at least two years.
Bake~
Blood-colored magic erupted from the other party's body, blood red like fire, dyeing the sky behind him red, and the special dense fog around him was infected red.
Esther's expression tightened, and it was obvious that the other party was also serious.
"River of Blood!" An indifferent voice sounded, and a meandering estuary spread from the other party's feet towards Esther.
Although I don't know what is special about this blood river, my sixth sense has always been warned.
At his level, the sixth hunch was very accurate.
Without the slightest hesitation, the figure flickered, constantly dodging.
But the river of blood seemed to have its own tracking, and as soon as Esther landed, he chased after it.
After a while, Esther had to stop, and before he knew it, he was surrounded by a river of blood.
Bang~
Rumble~
Esther was not without gains, and with one foot on the ground, the ground under him was directly smashed into a pit ten meters in diameter and three or four meters deep.
And the river of blood stretched to the edge of the pit and converged downward.
The river of blood uses the earth as a medium to conduct conduction, as long as it does not land, it cannot reach itself for convenience.
But......
Murder and hideousness appeared on Mogulid's face, and he shook his hand, "Bloodthirsty Thorn!" ”
The hideous blood thorn stabbed out of the river of blood, and the speed was so fast that it came to Esther in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, the power of 'Crushing' erupted, and those blood spikes were shattered as soon as they touched it.
But these blood thorns are endless, constantly emerging from the river of blood.
For a while, Esther frowned, if it continued like this, he didn't know if the other party's magic power would be exhausted, but his magic power would definitely be exhausted.
Esther doesn't like to leave his fate to uncertainty, he prefers to take the initiative.
In his eyes, pale flames danced.
Rumble~
The space faintly collapsed, and Esther rushed out like this, and all the blood thorns that came from it were shattered before they could get close.
"Baji Boxing Strength ~ Collapse Fist"
In a section of the Blood River, Esther directly punched hard.
Airplanes~
Rumble~
The river of blood that was concentrated trembled violently, and then it turned into pieces and fell, and Mogulid was directly exposed to Esther's eyes.
"Cangyan - push the mountain!"
With incomparable power, Cang Yan swept forward, and wherever it passed, everything that stood in front of it was first shattered and then incinerated.
"Don't think!" With a roar of rage, the infinite river of blood converged, turning into a monstrous blood beast that collided with Esther's power.
Rumble~
The force of the collision caused the two of them to retreat a few steps at the same time, and the surrounding dense fog was also dispersed under this force, revealing the original appearance of the forest.
But soon, the fog slowly gathered again, filling the void.
"Greedy Blood Curtain!" With an angry voice, it sounded in the thick fog.
With this voice, Esther solemnly found that the dense fog around her had dissipated, replaced by an endless blood mist, and when she looked up, it was the blood-colored sun hanging overhead, emitting a blood-colored light.
It was a huge face that appeared, and it was none other than Mogulid's.
His body could not be seen except his face, but Esther knew that the other party was hiding in the blood mist.
This is, Mogulid moved, a large blood-colored hand, pressed down at a speed that seemed to be slow, but was actually extremely fast.
Esther's expression did not change at all, and he did not flinch to meet the giant palm with a punch.
Rumble~
A tidal wave of energy erupted between the two, and the pressure of the big hand was stopped, but Esther was also shaken away from afar.
There was incredulity on his face, and the strength of the other party seemed to have become much stronger.
Could it be that the other party has been hiding its strength?
Esther frowned deeply, and as soon as she stepped in the air, she came to a steady stop.
At this moment, a spear suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed him fiercely in the back of the heart.
With a backhand punch, the spear was shattered, but instead of breathing, it was greeted by six identical spears from front to back, left and right.
After dissolving them one by one, the sky got a huge face, slowly opened his mouth, and the blood-colored energy gathered, and the power contained in it made Esther feel chills in his heart, but he felt that something was wrong.
But the constant attacks around him made him let go of the doubts in his heart and defuse the attacks with all his might.
But the attack of the giant face in the sky made him unable to defuse.
In this way, a blood-colored beam of light shot out from the mouth of the giant face, shooting straight towards Esther.
At this time, Esther didn't have time to dodge, and as soon as her mind moved, she wanted to summon Chirulian and Wind Speed Dog.
But~
It was this thought that made him stunned for a moment, and even gave up the attack.
However, those attacks dissipated strangely when they hit him, including the terrifying blood-colored beam.
"Illusion? It's real! "It's the first time Esther has met a magician who is good at illusions, and he has no experience in facing enemies, and the opponent's illusions are too realistic, so he can't help but be fooled.
If you change to someone else, it is estimated that you can only fall deeper and deeper, and eventually consume yourself alive.
Illusion is not directed at the body, but at the spirit, or the soul.
Once a person thinks that he is dead in the illusion, then his soul is equivalent to death, and even if the physical body still retains the characteristics of life, he will become a fool.
The last beam of light really scared Esther, the power had already reached the threshold of the holy level, and in his cognition, he would definitely die if he was concentrated.
Therefore, as long as he is really hit, his cognition will judge himself as "dead", then he is really dead in the soul.
That's why he used "fit" as soon as possible.
But at that moment, he didn't feel the existence of the system.
Either the other party has blocked their connection with the system.
Either that, everything here is attached by the other party, and this addition is not systematically recognized.
The former is impossible, not to mention just an S-level, even a saint-level can't do it.
Then it can only be the latter, and on this alone, Esther is sure that this is false, that is, he has fallen into illusion.
Once the illusion is understood, it is easy to dissolve.
Of course, the most important thing is that the level gap is too large, and even if you know it, it is difficult to crack it, and you can only be calculated to death by the other party.
But the other party is obviously not much behind Esther.
……
Outside......
Mogulid stood there silently, and in front of him was a round pit, which Esther had left behind.
At this time, the entire round pit was already covered with blood-colored liquid, and above the round pit, there was a blood-colored ball, and the fluctuations of magic power could be faintly felt inside.
Mogulid, who practiced blood magic, did not go through pure blood manipulation magic, but "blood illusion" magic that fused blood manipulation magic with illusion.
Use blood as a medium to make enemies perform illusions.
His battle with Esther was real in the first half, and it was only from the moment he cast the Blood River that the illusion was laid out.
By the time Esther shattered the ground beneath his feet, the illusion had been successfully activated, and the ensuing battle was nothing more than a one-man show for Esther.
It's all an illusion, and the real Esther has been trapped in the bloodball.
The mixture of truth and falsehood makes very few magicians able to see through their illusions, even if they are also S-level magicians, they will be tortured to death by him.
Airplanes~
At this time, the blood cells trembled and made an abnormal sound.
Then, the blood cell was shattered.
Esther, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and those eyes that were burning with flames made Mogulid feel cold.
At this time, the black box behind Esther had disappeared, replaced by a black scale armor and a black knight's sword behind him.
Rumble~
With the blessing of magical weapons, Esther's speed has increased by several percent.
Mogulide only felt a flower in front of him, and the whole person was knocked out, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he didn't even have time to turn into blood.
Mogulid rolled in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
"Magic Armament~"
Looking at the black armor on the other party's body, his voice was a little gloomy.
Magical weapons, in the hands of the magician, are enough to exert a strong amplification effect.
And the fluorescence flowing from the black armor on Esther's body is obviously a magic weapon of no low grade.
Qiang~
It was the sound of the sword unsheathed, and when Mogulid heard the sound, he reacted instinctively, and turned into a mist of blood, and a cold light swept through, if it was too late, the sword would have pierced his head.
"Dark Blood Corrosion!"
Mogulid appeared behind Esther, and a hand fell with a black ominous magic.
Clang~
The sword was defended, and Mogulid's hand slapped against the sword, making a sizzling sound.
Corrosive, extremely corrosive.
Esther frowned, just one blow, the magic power on the black scale was corroded by half, if it was two more blows, it would be enough to hurt the black scale's body.
Qiang~
This time, Esther directly covered the sword with supernatural telekinesis, and this sword had a strange change.
Like a snake, like a tiger, in the weird, with a majestic avenue.
The tip of the sword is only wrapped around Mogulid, and as soon as the time comes, he will give the other party a blow.
Swordsmanship is not an aspect that Esther is majoring in, but his swordsmanship is not much worse than Elusa, especially in some weird swordsmanship, even Elusa can't compare.
Mogulide was forced to retreat, with a hideous look on his face, "Bloody Hunt~"
The blood-colored magic exploded and collided with Esther's sword.
This is a move that completely abandons defense and only pursues the magic of attack.
The other party did not do any defense or dodge against Esther's sword, and the magic fell fiercely.
Aster's expression remained unchanged, the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and at this point, neither of them could retreat.
If Esther retreats, he will be chased by the victory, and he will fall to the disadvantage, and it will be difficult to gain an advantage.
Tear pull~
Bang~
Esther retreated again and again, the qi and blood in his body surged, and a trace of blood came down directly the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, there is black scale armor, otherwise this time, Esther can be seriously injured, and if he doesn't get it, he will be killed directly.
Even so, Esther paid the price and completely withstood the blow, with a clear mark on the black scale armor, which was dented and faintly fluorescent, obviously hurting the root.
The other party, on the other hand, suffered the blow head-on and was cut in half.
Although it condensed in the distance, his face became unusually pale, and it was obvious that the arm was gone.
After slashing the opponent, Esther activated the characteristics of the Black Scale Sword, "Annihilation", although he failed to kill the opponent directly, but also "annihilated" one of the opponent's arms.
Without an arm, it can be said that the opponent's strength is at least thirty percent.
In the flow of blood, a blood-colored prosthetic hand condensed, seemingly indistinguishable from the real arm, but both of them understood that a fake is a fake.
Mogulid's expression was gloomy, and he originally planned to exchange injuries for injuries, but the other party lost a magical weapon, and he lost an arm, and did not achieve the expected goal.
He faintly felt that if he didn't leave, he would probably have to explain here today.
With a plan, the blood-colored magic exploded again, and the surging magic power made the surrounding air vibrate.
"Dark Blood Sky Phantom Eyes!"
A closed eye appeared above Mogulid's head.
Looking at these eyes, Esther felt extremely uneasy.
It's not an illusion, he can still feel the existence of the system.
You can't let the other person show it.
This thought came to Esther's mind, and he directly burned the flames and rushed towards the other party.
But those eyes still opened slowly.
Esther's heart beat at a rapid pace, directly freezing his magic power for a breath, and his body also stagnated.
When he regained control, he did not move forward, but retreated extremely quickly, and at the same time, he continued to play the magic power of 'Cangyan Shatter' in front of him.
Rumble~
When those eyes opened, as far as the eye could see, the blood was filled, and the flowers and trees were instantly corroded, and the space became a little gray.
Rumble~
Unable to escape, Esther did not hesitate at all, and directly "fit" Chirulian and Wind Speed Dog from the system space.
The armor and sword on his body changed, and the surging power in his body made him feel a lot safer.
『Cang Yan ~ Pushing the Mountain』
The power of magic swept straight ahead, colliding with the invisible force.
It was just a few breaths, and everything was calm.
Esther frowned, and Mogulid ran.
"Still on the road?" Esther looked at the surrounding environment, it was a trace of destruction by the 'Cangyan', and there were no plants at all that were corroded.
It's an illusion again, but it's more advanced than before.
Or simply, instead of pulling yourself into an illusion, you are blinded by yourself.
Or also blinded their own perception.
Because of this, he and the air had a big move.
Mogulid took the opportunity to run.
As for why he didn't take the opportunity to attack himself, maybe there were factors he didn't know about, so that the other party didn't dare to sneak attack him.
Presumably, as long as you attack, the illusion will be ineffective.
