Chapter 408 Hallucination

Chapter 408 Hallucination

However, before leaving, he still had some minor troubles to deal with.

The high-level mental power swept across the urban area near the alchemy shop, and Avis felt at least four fluctuations that were obviously malicious.

And in his perception, they were approaching this direction with a very clear goal.

One fourth order, one third order, and two second orders.

Obviously, the actual situation is not as safe as Lord Dark Crow said.

Shaking his head, Avis returned to the room, as if he had not noticed what was happening outside.

He had listened to every detail of the conversation between Landon and Lord Raven, which he thought was secret, and even recorded the special first-level spell model called [Eye of Terror].

It was a spell with an effect similar to mental shock, but unlike the latter, the principle of this spell was not to rely on mental force to shock the opponent's mental sea.

Instead, it directly invades the opponent's soul through a special alien power.

In other words, the guy who called himself "Dark Crow" should have been very proficient in the soul faction of the necromancy school when he was alive.

At the same time, under his mental gaze, as he did not notice anything unusual, those malicious waves gradually began to approach.

After a moment, four people who looked like mercenaries appeared in front of the alchemy shop.

The leader took a look at the new elderberry sign at the door of the alchemy shop and the "Closed" signs hanging on the two doors of the shop, then pressed the pendant on his chest and sensed it carefully again.

In his hand, the pendant was now emitting noticeable heat.

"Yes, it is here. The aura is very strong. The target is likely hiding here in disguise, or at least has stayed here for a period of time."

After confirming that everything was correct, the leader nodded and made a gesture.

"Be careful. Although the master has said that the target should have no ability to resist at this time. But accidents can happen. Don't let your guard down! Also, the owner here seems to be a fourth-level traveling wizard. If he finds you, it will be a bit troublesome. It's better to find a way to avoid him and get the target."

The other three nodded, their eyes also becoming cautious.

"Well, let's get started now."

As he spoke, the leader raised his hand and carefully activated a magic ring.

As a faint light flashed, the figures of the four people disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a faint protective aura rose from the bodies of several people.

A lot of equipment support was also provided for this operation.

Including the magic ring he is currently using, which comes with two fifth-level group invisibility spells and one protective curse per day, and is also one of the equipment provided above.

Ideally, if you can get the necklace that the target possesses without alerting the store owner, that would be the best option.

However, the leader of the team himself did not have much hope for this.

If it were so easy to get, they wouldn't have been given so much equipment.

After removing the warning magic from a window and relying on the effect of invisibility, several people sneaked into the store safely and began to search for the target.

Apparently because the store was closed, the light in the hall was dim and there was no one there.

Several rare alchemical plants were sealed in hollow crystal columns, colorful potions were placed in rows in display cabinets, and all kinds of low-level exotic objects reflected the hazy light, giving a mysterious feeling.

What was a little strange was that there seemed to be a faint white mist floating in the room, and I didn't know whether it was the effect of some magic.

Holding the pendant in their hands, several people searched every room in the house, but to no avail.

A moment later, the four of them gathered again in the room where Landon had previously lived.

Although the temperature of the pendant rose slightly, there was no further change, which did not match the description of a sharp rise in temperature when approaching a certain distance from the target.

The other three were somewhat disappointed with the result, but the captain was secretly relieved.

Perhaps the hired cannon fodders were not clear about the situation, but he knew in advance that the target of this mission was a high-ranking person when he was alive! In this situation, although they failed to make great achievements, it also meant that he did not have to face the potential huge threat.

"The target is no longer here, but he stayed here for a while before, and he just left here not long ago, otherwise the aura here would not be so strong."

In the leader's hand, the pendant swayed slightly, with its sharp bottom raised and pointing in the direction where Landon and the other two had left.

"Although we didn't succeed directly, our current harvest is not bad. At least it's a very important clue. Let's leave here first, and then notify the adults to arrange more people to reinforce here."

After summarizing, the captain nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Captain, since the mission here is over, while the invisibility effect is still there, should we take some more things away from here?"

At this time, the third-level team member expressed a different opinion.

"I've just checked. The warning magic on those display cabinets is not of high rank, and many of the potions are worth hundreds of gold coins! Also, we just searched everywhere but couldn't find the so-called traveling wizard shop owner. Could it be that he went out with his target?"

Following his words, the other two team members also became moved.

"It is indeed possible... The magic effect will end in fifteen minutes. I will give you ten minutes."

After hesitating for a moment, the captain nodded.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Wait, is this fog getting thicker... BANG!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Before he finished speaking, the door opened instantly, and under the gaze of the fourth-level man, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared at the door of the room.

What was somewhat strange was that a mass of flowing black mist gathered at his shoulders, forming a blurry silhouette of a black bird with scarlet eyes.

"D-Dark Crow?!"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on the captain's forehead, but he reacted the next moment.

"No, that's not right! My Lord has already said that you should have lost your power by now!"

As if to embolden himself, he immediately tore open a scroll. A crimson fire snake instantly took shape and suddenly rolled towards the figure at the door.

At the same time, the other three also launched their own attacks, and took advantage of the cover of the attacks to prepare to jump out the window to escape.

But what made him despair was that the blazing fire snake completely disappeared without a trace before it even reached the opponent, and he couldn't even make the opponent move.

Thinking of the legendary fate of falling into the hands of that gentleman, death is just the beginning, and the soul will be tortured endlessly.

With a ruthless heart, the captain raised his hand and decisively activated a ring on his hand.

With the captain himself as the center, a pale green undead flame containing truly high-level power exploded instantly, engulfing him and the entire building.

This astonishing scene instantly attracted the attention of many natives and players on the street.

Standing in the crowd of onlookers, Avis looked at the burning house from afar, also with a look of shock on his face, as if he was grieving the destruction of his own store.

When a few people entered the room just now, he had already activated the domain effect of the Phantom Light Ice Domain.

After he broke through to the seventh level, his initial spell already possessed some of the power of true illusion.

All the perceptions of the four people in the area were completely under his control.

Including the enemies they see, they are actually all imagined in their own minds.

He went to great lengths to make several people kill each other, just to leave no trace of himself.

While helping Landon and his men to delay their escape time a little, it also made the people behind these cannon fodders believe that they were killed by the Dark Crow's trap.

Sensing the change in Landon's fate in the distance, Anvis went to several nearby stores and pretended that he had been out for a while, but just came back to find the stores destroyed. He also asked them if they had seen any suspicious people.

After letting the people nearby know that he was not caught in the explosion, Anvis left here on an airship and headed for the Silver Moon Kingdom.

The direction that the Ring of Fidelis points to is exactly that direction.
