Chapter 104: Battle
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
Leonard was embarrassed to find that after he was promoted to Sequence 5 "Spirit Witch", the new abilities he gained were not helpful at all.
Instinctively, he stretched out his right hand and opened his mouth to release the frightened banshee sealed between his teeth, but he didn't feel the spirit.
Leonard immediately remembered that he had entered the "Travels of Grossell" in a spirit state, the gray fog had isolated everything in the real world, and now he had gone deep into the sea of the collective subconscious, where could he be driven by the contract spirit?
But it didn't matter, Leonard's emerald eyes turned dark, and he unleashed the "Requiem" ability of Sequence 6 towards the giant with strange symbols, trying to wipe out the cyclops' overly violent and bloodthirsty emotions.
Because he didn't know the situation of this figure, Leonard could only rely on his instinct as a night watchman to treat the other party as a powerful and threatening entity, which was his subconscious thought.
Invisible monsters are even more terrifying, and they can still fight against visible monsters!
Although there was no communication, the moment she noticed that the cyclops slowed down and her original crazy mood was relieved, Audrey immediately calmly made a judgment and assisted her companion's actions.
A "pacification" once again fell on the cyclops, bringing his footsteps to a complete standstill. The leg fell off the giant's mouth, but when it hit the ground, it turned into a distorted plasma phantom and disappeared from the eyes of the three men.
Crane was not only observing the giant, but also himself and the two companions beside him, and as the cyclops began to take shape, he noticed an anomaly in himself.
A soft, faint glow was emanating from the depths of his spirit, cutting off the occult patterns on the cyclops, and even if Crane looked directly at the other, he did not suffer any mental impact or pollution.
If this protection had only appeared to him, Crane would have found a way to warn Audrey and Leonard, or use "illusions" to prevent them from seeing the giant's mythical creature.
But when Klein noticed that the other two were also protected, he couldn't help but wonder about it. Following the revelation that touched the spirit, he decisively gave up the idea of using the "Darkless Cross" to directly purify the phantom.
Focused, with the glimmer of light gathering, a long-barreled revolver fell into his hand.
The bullets inside were all full, ready to leave the barrel and penetrate something, just as Klein imagined.
Gelman Sparrow raised the "death knell" and aimed at the cyclops who had not yet attacked.
As a pre-shot preparation, he flipped the hammer.
This is one of the special harvesting methods of the "Death Knell" itself, no matter where the last bullet hits, it will cause an effect equivalent to a weak point attack, and if the enemy's defense is not strong enough, it can even kill with a direct hit.
Klein wasn't sure if normal attacks would be effective, but he knew that what he thought was closely related to what he saw here, and out of his habit of using the "death knell", he strictly followed the rules of the real-world operation of the weapon.
Gunfire rang out in a dense manner, and alerted to the Cyclops' defenses, Crane repeatedly pulled the hammer and launched three attacks in quick succession with the "Death Knell", all aimed at the same place - the huge one-eye on the phantom.
At the same time, Audrey used another "appeasement" to delay the cyclops who began to struggle and wanted to get out of control for a few seconds, and then Audrey quickly received the "battle hypnosis", barely forming a tug of war with the other party's muddy spirit.
If it were a really runaway demigod, all of what she did would probably be useless, but this is the corner of the subconscious ocean, and the "audience" has a natural home advantage as long as they don't lose confidence in themselves.
In the course of a few seconds, Klein observed with his peripheral vision that when Miss Justice used her extraordinary abilities, the faint light around her would be relatively weakened.
Although Klein wanted Leonard to try to fall asleep, the source of the giant's phantom was only the imprint left by a certain memory of Grossell in the depths of the subconscious sea, and there may be other dangers in the dream.
So when Klein pulled the hammer for the second time and fired the bullet, he verbally signaled: "'Star', Requiem." ”
"If you don't remind me, I know." Mr. "Star" muttered, and activated the ability again.
Sure enough, the glimmer of light surrounding Leonard's spirit has also diminished, and I can't see the change in the light on my body because I'm using a manifested weapon?
The Cyclops' head was finally pierced, and he fell to his knees in pain, staggering over his head, but he was not dead at all, only his body began to ooze festering yellow pus.
The confrontation that we initiate by consciousness cannot completely kill this illusion...... Yes, he is not an ordinary creature per se.
With a flick of his hand, Death Knell spun around and disappeared from his fingertips, and he snapped his fingers, and a flame ignited behind the cyclops.
As Crane stepped out of the expanding flames, he noticed a fluctuation in his own light, and he took out the rusty, spiked cross, and took out the vial that had previously contained his own blood, and dripped it a little.
"Light!"
Ancient Hermes blurted out, and the brilliant and immaculate sunlight poured out of his hands, drowning the gray-blue giant that had already weakened.
The phantom quickly became transparent, then vanished.
After all, the "Darkless Cross" has a targeted ability to clear or purify the residual spiritual imprint, which is why Klein specially brought it.
He wasn't sure if he could "imagine" the cross here, after all, it was a relic belonging to the ancient sun god, and it was also a demigod-level item, which was fundamentally different from the "death knell".
The last time he didn't have a chance to try, this time it was a success, and Klein recalled how he felt when he took out the "death knell", and at that moment, the light became brighter in him.
"Solve the ......" "Justice" breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to himself and the other two companions, and each applied a "reassurance" to calm the fluctuating emotions of the three people just now.
"Mr. 'World' is really well prepared. Well, Mr. 'Star' is also very powerful. Considering that it may be psychologically unbalanced, Audrey added the latter half of the sentence.
However, Leonard's attention at this time was not on the communication within the team, but on looking in the direction of the giant's phantom, frowning as he thought: "Something is wrong, that giant is a demigod just now, right?" A demigod-level runaway. ”
This is asking "the world", and Klein nodded: "Yes." ”
"He even showed an incomplete mythical biological form, but when we looked at it directly, we only felt some oppression and nausea, and we were not mentally shocked." Leonard analyzed in a deep voice, and pretended to casually look at the two people next to him to see if they showed signs of being polluted or out of control.
Audrey had never seen anything like it, but after listening to the analysis of "Star", she realized that the scene just now was far more dangerous than it seemed:
"And that phantom is still left in the imprint of the subconscious sea. We are now in a defenseless state of spirits, and if we are really affected by it, I am afraid that it will also pollute our deep mental bodies......"
While the two men were analyzing, the "world" was listening, and Klein was waiting for them to mention the glimmer of light on his body, but to his strange thing, neither his sometimes dull and sometimes perceptive former colleagues, nor the always observant Miss "Audience" mentioned it.
This led Klein to a new guess: can't they see the light in us, only me?
Thinking of his connection to Grey Mist and Zoya, Crane sighed silently, this guess may be right.
He nodded at the two of them: "After all, we entered here through Mr. 'Fool''s hall, and we are likely to be sheltered accordingly, so let's move on first." ”
"I see...... Praise be to Mr. 'Fool'! Audrey happily picked up the remark and accepted Mr. "World" in its entirety.
Leonard also thinks this makes sense, but he can't help but think of the last time he faced the "mythical bioform", he seemed to be protected by something, was he a "fool" at that time? No, that's not right...... It's the lady!
Leonard blinked in confusion and then followed behind Klein, putting the matter behind him.
Audrey did not suppress her curiosity, and while remaining vigilant, she asked "Star", "Have you ever been in contact with that form of Extraordinary Person before, Mr. 'Star'?" ”
Leonard nodded: "Ah yes, there was someone who helped us to look directly at these special forms. If you come across it somewhere else, be careful. ”
"That must be a dangerous situation......
"Well, I was with someone else in the face of a traitor to the church, that sinister guy - but that was before." Realizing that he might be able to say something, Leonard made a vague perfunctory remark.
Feeling the other party's cramped mood, Audrey just nodded, no longer continued to ask, and then turned to the direction of the other person:
"Mr. 'World', is there anything wrong?"
Since just now, "World" has been very dignified, and he has not participated in the conversation between the two anymore, although he is usually a little silent at the tarot meeting, but when he walked down the stairs before, "World" was still chatting with the two normally.
Klein let out an "um" and said for a few seconds, "I'm thinking about what's in my subconscious ocean." ”
"You sound like a philosopher." Leonard couldn't help but say.
The grim countenance of the "world" did not change at all, making it difficult for Audrey to observe any subtle changes in expression.
