Chapter 176 Level Crushing

Compared to the newness of this painting, the surrounding environment seems unusually old and dirty.

The red tiles on the roof fell down and piled up in a mess in the room. The rotten wooden furniture had carbonized and turned black, collapsing into a blurry black unidentified object.

The gray-white stone wall where the painting was hung was covered with a thick layer of dust, and its surface was even slightly weathered.

After thinking about it, Avis put on the Mercury Eyes, injected magic into them, and activated the real visual effect on them.

A faint silver-white glow enveloped the crystal-clear round lens. The whole world in front of me suddenly lit up, and everything in sight was coated with a layer of silver luster.

Under true vision, all hidden things will reveal their original form.

In the real vision, the Wind Knight Joem beside him appeared as a rich dark blue.

Although he has restrained his own magical aura, when observing with real vision at close range, one can still see the highly concentrated cold wind magic gathered on him.

As Chaum said, the painting is not an anomalous element.

In the real vision of the Mercury Eyes, the oil painting itself became somewhat illusory, but it did not show the unique glow of abnormal elements.

This illusion represents that the painting is just part of the abnormal phenomenon in this place, rather than a real physical oil painting.

Moreover, this sense of illusion does not only appear in the oil painting. The weathered stone walls, broken rubble, stone pillars and other objects on the four sides of the half-ruined house also look somewhat unreal in some places.

After a moment of silence, Avis slowly raised his hand, and a ball of ice-blue cold flame appeared out of thin air, suspended in his palm, emitting a biting cold light.

This is a special spell-like ability that Avis developed by combining the elemental control abilities of his two legendary bloodlines with the knowledge acquired by the seventh-level magician in his previous life - [Extreme Cold Freezing Light]

Although its appearance is similar to flame, its core is completely pure ice and light elements.

According to the specific spell structure, Avis interweaves them with each other to construct this special fusion form.

Under this exquisite spell structure, the ice element condenses into countless tiny, extremely corrosive, extremely cold ice crystals, while the light element refracts infinitely along a specific trajectory between these dust-like tiny ice crystals.

It combines the extreme coldness of the ice element and the penetrating power of the light element. With Avis' current strength, the destructive power is enough to reach the peak of the third level.

Although the simultaneous operation of two bloodline abilities would lead to a significant increase in mana consumption, his own abundant mana was sufficient to withstand this consumption as long as he did not maintain the simultaneous operation for a long time.

Holding a ball of extremely cold light in his palm, Avis slowly pressed it towards the oil painting.

He didn't know why a painting that was obviously an anomaly had a vague attraction for him.

But if it really hides some secret, then this is enough to test out a result.

In the real perspective, the moment the icy blue flame touched the surface of the oil painting, a transparent illusory ripple suddenly spread out.

Like a burst bubble, the entire painting collapsed and disappeared, leaving only the gray and weathered wall in its place.

Looking at this scene, Avis shook his head, a little disappointed.

It was a very common result. The way the painting disappeared was no different from the temporary disappearance of a general abnormal phenomenon caused by excessive attack interference.

This is a unique property of the anomaly area: except for the force at the rule level, the various strange phenomena in the anomaly area will not disappear due to the interference of external forces.

Even if the entire abnormal area is destroyed by a powerful attack, after a period of time, everything in the environment will be restored as if time has gone backwards.

With a clenched hand, Avis put away the cold flame in his palm.

But just as he was about to turn off his real vision, a thick black color suddenly flashed at the edge of his vision.

"Um?"

Avis turned around in an instant, his true vision sweeping across the house like a sharp sword.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual inside.

But upon closer inspection, Avis suddenly noticed that in the ruined corner of the house, in the deep corridor of the broken brick fireplace, there seemed to be a vague black figure hidden!

The upper part of the human figure is hidden in the corridor, while the lower part is exposed, but it appears blurred against the dark background of the fireplace.

"What is that, Joem?"

Avis frowned, and at the same time, he gestured towards the fireplace with a sense of vigilance.

"That is also part of the anomaly, Lord Anvis."

The Frost Knight Joem looked in the direction of the fireplace and explained to Avis.

“Although it doesn’t look very safe, I didn’t feel any threat from it.”

As he spoke, Joem casually raised his finger, and a tiny ice-blue sword energy condensed at his fingertips, which he threw towards the fireplace where the dark figure was hiding.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although it looked inconspicuous on the outside, the speed of this sword energy was incredibly fast, almost like a beam of light, and it instantly hit the black shadow in the fireplace.

Affected by the sword energy, large patches of white frost instantly appeared on the surface of the fireplace. The dark human figure that was directly hit by the sword energy instantly turned into illusory ripples and dissipated.

"You see, just like the oil painting that just disappeared, the shadow is essentially the same as the oil painting, except that it moves."

Joum spread his hands.

Then he thought about it and added another sentence.

“Of course, if a professional at or below the second level encounters it, then the danger of the abnormal phenomenon itself may lead to loss of life and death.

This is probably the reason why the residents who originally lived nearby moved away from this area.”

After listening to Joem's explanation, Avis nodded speechlessly, indicating that he understood.

In short, the challenge level of this area was only 20+ and he brought guards of over level 80, which directly crushed their level. As a result, the dark human figures that were supposed to come out to "greet" him did not dare to come out and could only hide in the fireplace and shiver.

After taking a final look at the completely empty room, Avis turned off his real vision.

On the wall in front of him, there was only a faint rectangular outline left, proving that something had existed there before.

Although the source of the painting's appeal was never fully understood, it's very likely that the shadow was to blame.

Shaking his head and no longer thinking about the oil painting, Anvis took Joem and left the abandoned house.

But when the two had just left the ruins, something strange happened around them!

Several strange dark green star-shaped spell effects suddenly condensed out of thin air and quickly flew towards the two figures.

At the same time, a bunch of huge black tentacles broke out of the ground beside the two of them and suddenly came towards them to bind them!
