Chapter 757 Seed

Chapter 757 Seeds

When Anvis was exposed to Marquis Draka and attacked, his invincible state disappeared.

That terrifying star of destruction undoubtedly directly swallowed up his mental projection and caused a huge explosion.

However, almost in the next moment, Avis's consciousness projection re-condensed.

The feeling of having the projection of consciousness destroyed is a bit like being suddenly pricked by a steel needle, or a bit like a momentary electric shock. It is a sharp, short-lived pain that directly affects the mind, and the mental energy is weakened a tiny bit.

For Anvis, this loss is completely within his tolerance range.

Moreover, there is good news: the initial guidance of the Distortion Seed was successful. Even if we only see his consciousness in the illusion, it can also be regarded as seeing him in person.

So, the consciousness that Avis condensed again appeared in front of Marquis Draka again. This time it was really in front of him, almost within half a meter, and then was destroyed by Marquis Draka again with one blow.

"It's you, right? The leader of the Circle of Truth? The man behind the disaster of the floating city? Are you finally willing to show up? Instead of continuing to hide in the dark and spy?"

After realizing that it was still just a projection, a sneer appeared on the face of the young Marquis Draka.

"Thank you for your 'invitation'. Your floating city and golem are indeed very powerful, but I'm afraid they are still not enough to hold me back. What about your ninth-level subordinates? Why don't you call them out? Or... in fact, you don't have any ninth-level subordinates at all? The so-called traces left by the ninth-level of the Circle of Truth were actually all done by you alone?"

Staring at Anvis's blurry face, Marquis Draka spoke half tentatively and half threateningly.

“I’m not afraid to tell you that I have already sent out an emergency signal. Even though this place is in the deep dream world, within half a day at most, the true ninth-order ultimate powerhouses of the imperial family will lock onto my location and descend.

If these are the only means you have, then you can now consider how to escape."

Emergency signal? Looking at the arrogant Marquis Draka, Avis was stunned for a moment, and asked Bomia consciously. Then he learned that the Marquis Draka in reality fell into the illusion too quickly and did not have time to send out a distress signal.

“…”

Adhering to the idea that too much talk leads to mistakes, Anvis said nothing, but continued to wander in front of Marquis Draka, increasing the progress of the implantation of the Distortion.

When dealing with a ninth-rank warrior, one should never be too cautious.

"Hmph... a cowardly rat."

Seeing that Avis did not come out to confront him head-on as he secretly expected, Marquis Draka snorted coldly in disappointment and casually annihilated Avis's projection clone again.

Just now, while talking, he actually secretly tried to trace the location of Avis's body, but the result of the spell feedback was nothing.

This showed that the other party's attainments in anti-detection spells were far superior to his, and made Marquis Draka temporarily give up the idea of ​​tracking him.

Come to think of it, if the leader of the Ring of Truth was not good at hiding, he would have been caught and killed long ago.

In the following period of time, since it was impossible to trace the location of Avis's real body, Marquis Draka always kept destroying Avis's projection as soon as it appeared.

Although it was unclear what Avis was going to do, out of caution, he couldn't let Avis just watch his fight without any scruples.

No matter what the enemy wants to do, it's always a good idea to interrupt.

This did slow down Avis' progress in planting the Seed of Distortion to a certain extent. After all, it takes a very short time to lose a consciousness and then re-condense it.

However, the biggest problem Anvis encountered was not the caution of Marquis Draka, but the strong will of the ninth-level strongman himself.

Breaking through from level 8 to level 9 means that the professional has initially come into contact with the rules of the world. In this process, the professional will undergo the most thorough transformation, which is almost equivalent to the transformation from a mortal to a god.

According to the standards of the ancient times, ninth-order professionals already possessed a hint of divinity.

This caused Avis's attempt to implant the Seed of Distortion to encounter unimaginable obstacles.

If the mental toughness of an eighth-level professional is compared to a cement wall that can be drilled through bit by bit with an electric drill, then the mental toughness of a ninth-level professional is directly evolved into a diamond wall that can hardly leave even a scratch with an electric drill.

This is a passive effect brought about by the sublimation of character. Even if this ninth-level warrior is already very weak, the essence of his mental power will not change.

Not to mention that Avis currently has little time, even if he is given unlimited time, it is almost impossible to forcibly implant the distortion seed into a ninth-level person.

"Level Nine is still Level Nine. Even with Bomiya's assistance, even if the target is already extremely weak, the probability of directly planting the Seed of Distortion on it is still infinitely close to zero."

Realizing that nothing could be done, Avis stopped his continuous attempt to condense clones to commit suicide, stayed in a space that Marquis Draka could not observe, and began to analyze.

The effect of the Seed of Distortion is actually more like forcing the target to "believe" in the caster. Just like those fanatics, they will do anything to please their gods.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In other words, the goal that Anvis needs to achieve is to make Marquis Draka no longer resist "believing" in him.

“Perhaps, I can change my thinking… and use Bishop Yanile as a reference.

After Bishop Yanile broke through to the ninth level, the influence of the Seed of Distortion on him weakened, and he changed from a fanatical believer who believed in me as his only god to a devout believer who believed in two gods at the same time.

Fortunately, the holy light believed by the Holy Light Church rarely issues oracles.

According to this line of thinking, if the influence is weakened and some special "gifts" are added as a price, perhaps the instinctive resistance of Marquis Draka can be reduced and the success rate of planting the seeds of distortion can be increased. "

After coming up with an idea, Anvis reappeared in front of Marquis Draka.

As a spell, he theoretically should not be able to control the specific effects of the Seed of Distortion. However, as the master of the Secret Book of the Old Days, he can now communicate with the Secret Book of the Old Days to adjust the effects of the Seed of Distortion.

The effect of the reconstructed Distortion Seed is no longer to unconditionally obey all of Avis's orders. Instead, it is to do its best to complete Avis's orders without endangering its own life.

At the same time, as the price of his faith, he can obtain the power reward from Avis from the Seed of Distortion.

This time, Marquis Draka's instinctive defense finally weakened.

Before the illusion's control was about to fail completely, the Seed of Distortion was successfully constructed.
