Chapter 48: "Madness" (Asking for a monthly pass on the last day of 2019)
After the "Sage of Secrets" Boutis entered the spirit realm, he immediately began to walk through, heading straight for the easternmost ruins of the Divine War in the Sunia Sea.
At this moment, his thoughts suddenly blurred, and his body turned directly, leaving the spirit world from another place.
By the time Boutis's spiritual warning and nervousness made him regain his own thoughts, he was greeted by a bare forest with almost all the leaves, silence around him, and a red moon hanging high in the sky.
As a former "traveler" and "astrologer", Boutis immediately recognized his location and found that he was still in Beckland, but had moved from the city to the outlying suburbs.
At the same time, he also realized what was going on:
At some point, his spiritual world infiltrated other people's consciousness, affecting his thoughts at a critical moment, and modifying his intended destination!
The demigod of the "audience" path! I didn't even notice it! Boutis's pupils dilated, and a silver-white illusory book was reflected.
The book flipped through with a bang, and at once it reached one of the pages.
Butis immediately raised his hand and grabbed it at the center of his eyebrows, grabbing a cloud of darkness directly from the disembodied island of consciousness and throwing it into his own shadow.
His shadow then detached from him, contorting and standing up to take on a female silhouette.
"Black Knight", "Shadow of the Fallen"!
This is the ability that Boutis "recorded" from the "Dark Sage" Kersma, who can separate his own depraved thoughts and combine with the shadow to form an independent creature that is not controlled.
Boutis used it to clear his mind of consciousness that does not belong to him, to get rid of the influence of the "manipulator"!
At the same time, this is also Bottis's counterattack, as long as the hidden "audience" channel demigod can't solve this "shadow" quickly, her divided ideas will gradually become independent, causing her to be half-crazy and even out of control.
As soon as the hidden danger of the mind is solved, Bottis does not hesitate to leave the enemy's preset battlefield and "teleport" to another place.
But at this time, his spirit suddenly became manic, and he felt that the whole environment was embarrassing him, and his anger could no longer be contained.
With the flipping of the silver-white book in Boutis's eyes, the entire forest collapsed with a thud, and the black "shadow" almost spread out.
After the mania, Boutis's mood became extremely depressed, unable to keep up with anything, feeling that he was useless, that others were a burden to the world.
In the previous battle, Boutis was infected with the "Spiritual Plague", and now it has finally attacked!
The reason why Gadelia used "Little Match Girl" in the first place was not only because she wanted to interfere with Boutis's "teleportation" away, but also to help Miss "Justice" cover up her traces, so that her "virtual personality" could sneak into the other party's spiritual world without triggering Tétis's spiritual intuition.
Because of this, when the raid was unsuccessful, Gardelia and Audrey dared to activate the plan and retreat on their own, so that the "Secret Sage" Bottis and the "Dark Sage" took the initiative to separate and return to each place after there was no danger.
Gadelia finally burned the green vines and made a lot of noise, ostensibly attracting the attention of the official forces and making the enemies give up tracking, but in fact it was to force the "Secret Sage" Bottis to leave as soon as possible, and there was no time to carefully examine and check his deeper situation.
So, at the critical moment of his "teleportation", he was tampered with by Audrey's virtual personality, and came directly to the outskirts of Beckland, to the no-man's land that the Tarot would choose.
And when he solved the virtual personality of the "manipulator", the "spiritual plague" broke out again.
In fact, if Boutis had used the "Restart of Destiny" earlier, he would definitely have been able to return to a state where there were no hidden dangers, but it wasn't until he was almost killed by the "Longinus Spear" that he decided to open this hole card, and at that time, it was far more than three seconds since the mental world was invaded!
At this time, Bottis, who was depressed and struggling to fight mental illness, saw an unreal ball of thread rolling out of the void in front of him.
Behind this mass of threads, the bright yarn stretches into infinity.
Along this line, Gardelia, dressed in a purple-striped black robe and a dark hood, walked from the spirit realm and appeared in front of the "Secret Sage" Boutis.
She has no way to track down the enemies who interfered, but she can establish contact with the predetermined battlefield and track the virtual personality of "Just" Audrey!
As soon as she arrived, Gadelia closed her eyes and formed a phantom that fell into the invisible coffin.
Boutis, who was already low and depressed, instantly felt extremely tired, and his eyes couldn't stop closing, wanting to fall.
"Sleeping Beauty"!
On the other side, Audrey's virtual personality, which is not really independent, is like a dark shadow, with a taste of depravity, raising her hand and pinching her forehead.
Her pupils were silently erected, pale gold and cold.
Boutis's mind suddenly exploded, and bubbles of light appeared on his body, and in the bubbles, the starlight was condensed, and the head and tail were all integrated into the void and the worms wanted to drill out.
"Psychiatrist", "crazy"!
This can completely detonate the target's emotions and even cause him to lose control.
Boutis was already infected with the "mental plague" and was in a very abnormal state, and then suffered the influence of "Sleeping Beauty", and his mood was extremely low.
Seizing this opportunity, Gardelia opened her eyes and raised her right hand, allowing her palm to quickly form a slowly rotating cloud of star sand.
The woods under the dark night became darker, the red moon disappeared in the sky, and one star after another appeared, dense and dazzling.
The stars shone one after another, merging into a magnificent pillar of light that enveloped the "Sage of Secrets" Boutis and the area around him.
Under the pressure, Boutis sobered up a little, and his figure quickly blurred, constantly "flashing", creating more than a dozen afterimages in the woods.
However, he couldn't get rid of the shroud of starlight, and he couldn't teleport out.
One "Boutis" after another was dissolved by the starlight, collapsed and dissipated, and finally only one Bottis was left on one knee and pressed his palm to the ground.
This Boutis was in tatters, and his eyes were dark red, bordering on madness.
When Starlight could no longer be maintained, he "flashed" and avoided the follow-up attack of Audrey's virtual personality.
Then, he kept "flashing", creating one "clone" after another next to the virtual personalities of Gadelia and Audrey.
One of his "clones", with a single grasp of his left hand, distorted the area where the dark shadow corresponding to Audrey's avatar was located, hiding it and restricting the enemy.
His other "clone" opened his arms and summoned a thick pillar of light surrounded by divine flames, allowing it to fall towards the space where it was hidden.
In this process, Boutis's other "clones" quietly lifted the hiding of space.
As a result, as soon as the shadow corresponding to Audrey's virtual personality broke free from the limit, it was shrouded in a pillar of divine blazing light and quickly dissolved.
- Boutis in the "flash" state is able to use extraordinary abilities faster than normal, but cannot last, which is achieved by the "Star Worms" acting separately.
On the other hand, the "Secret Sage" Boutis is also "besieging" Gardelia, and he uses one ability after another, working together to rain down a large number of attacks on the target in just a second or two.
This forced Gardelia to constantly use the "Emperor's New Clothes" to evade, and she was powerless to fight back for a while, and she was in danger.
After a few seconds, Boutis's "flash" finally slowed down, and the mania in his heart was relieved a lot.
At this moment, patches of gray and heavy scales suddenly appeared outside the woods, and they loomed, as if they constituted a very oppressive behemoth.
In the deep darkness of the red moon, an almost invisible transparent breath descended from above, enveloping Boutis and Gardelia.
The two demigods were suddenly struck by lightning, their spirits were torn, and their spirits seemed to be pierced.
The breath of the Mind Dragon!
The mental state was already very bad, and Boutis, who had used several hole cards, had a blank mind then, and one light flashed after another in front of him, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
And Gadelia carries the "Moon Paper Man" she took from the "magician" Furth, which can help her bear a "spiritual piercing"!
While this does not completely negate the effects of the Psychic Dragon's Breath, it does allow Gardelia to recover more quickly.
This means opportunity in a demigod-level battle!
In a second or two, Gardelia's eyes returned to normal, and the dragonized Audrey, hidden in the darkness outside the woods, made up for another "mental deprivation" on Boutis.
Without hesitation, Gardelia raised her right hand, condensed the blood-stained terrible spear, and threw it at the "Sage of Secrets" Boutis.
This time, Boutis could no longer dodge and defuse, and his chest was pierced directly by the "Longinus Spear".
His body stiffened for a moment and then quickly collapsed and disintegrated, turning into one shining "Star Worm" after another.
Some of these "star worms" simply disappear, some devour each other, and some merge in the distance and recombine into Boutis.
Boutis's eyes were completely devoid of reason, and his body was constantly crumbling, and he was about to take on an incomplete and very weak mythical creature.
At this moment, an illusory door suddenly appeared beside him, a gray-blue illusory door with seven brass keyholes.
The illusory door quickly opened, and a silver-black three-tiered "jewelry box" inlaid with various gems was spat out.
The "box of the old days" that had been "banished" returned.
Wild-eyed Bottis took the box, smiled cruelly and bloodthirsty, and slammed it open.
Third floor!
