Linnai used the momentum to fly backward and flung out his scythe.
With a "crack," Bai Ye plunged deep into the trunk of a giant tree.
Linnaeus performed a backflip in mid-air, finally landing firmly on the long handle of the scythe.
Yu Yuanyuan swung her long whip, hooked it onto a tree branch, and used the whip to move quickly between the trees. Lin Nai's eyes were fixed on her figure, locking onto her position, while also trying to avoid being affected by her illusions.
Yu Yuanyuan lashed the magic-infused whip again, each lash making a whooshing sound as it rubbed against the air.
After exchanging a few blows with her, Linnaeus discovered that her magic had indeed increased.
With magic power at the level of a demon, Lin Nai would undoubtedly be suppressed in a direct confrontation with her, making the fight very troublesome.
'Power doesn't increase without a reason.'
'The source of her magic is...'
Linnaeus pondered for a moment, then looked down at the herds of animals below.
The animals seemed to be possessed, howling and squealing, their pinkish-purple eyes seemingly brimming with hearts, like a group of crazy, delirious fans cheering for Yu Yuanyuan.
Lin Nai used the special vision of the Gray Nether Eyes to scan the area and then discovered the clue.
These frenzied animals constantly emit a dopamine-like energy. This energy is colorless and invisible to the naked eye. The energy floats into the air and is received by Yu Yuanyuan with her soul power, eventually transforming into magic power.
"So that's how it is..." Lin Nai thought to herself. She had thought that these animals were simply being controlled by Yu Yuanyuan's illusion, but she hadn't expected that Yu Yuanyuan would actually absorb their vital energy.
As expected of a succubus's abilities...
However, that's actually quite simple...
Lin Nai descended from the height, holding the White Night sword, and once again unleashed the Silver Moon Slash, sweeping it across the ground.
Buzz—
A white line swept across the ground, passing over the groups of animals.
In an instant, cries of agony rang out, and one after another, the giant beasts fell to the ground.
Yu Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then said angrily, "Hey! Aren't you being too cruel? Animals are so cute, how could you kill them!"
"In an illusion, do I need to hesitate?" Lin Nai looked at her calmly: "Alright, now that you've lost your source of power, let's see what tricks you can still pull."
Yu Yuanyuan smiled faintly: "That's not necessarily true." As she spoke, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
All around, a continuous stream of energy converged on her body, which she then transformed into demonic energy.
Lin Nai was slightly taken aback.
All the animals she bewitched are dead, so how can she still absorb energy?
Even with the Gray Eyes, Linnai could not discover the source of these energies.
It was as if it had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Linna pondered, "Could it be...?"
......
Inside the competition venue.
The scene in the audience was completely chaotic.
The male audience members, their eyes sparkling with pink hearts, were shouting excitedly.
"The goddess strikes, and nothing can stop her!"
"Let's all fall at the feet of our goddess Yuanyuan!"
"Goddess Yuanyuan, defeat him quickly! We'll give you all our energy!!"
"......"
At the same time, streams of unseen energy rapidly flowed from their bodies, rising into the air and converging into the illusion in the center of the arena.
Seeing this scene, Liu He, the captain of the Yecheng Night Watch, helplessly covered his forehead and said with a headache, "If this continues, the situation will get out of control..."
"Speaking of Director Pang, isn't what she's doing cheating? Fighting in an illusionary scenario and still being able to absorb energy from people in reality."
Director Pang crossed his arms and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The competition rules don't say that this is not allowed."
"But won't this cause any problems?" Liu He asked worriedly, glancing at the frenzied spectators in the arena. "Won't their energy be constantly drained, and something dangerous happen?"
"It should be fine," Director Pang said. "The energy that was absorbed was just dopamine. It seems like a lot of energy now because she gathered the dopamine energy from the entire venue and all the online viewers around the world who were affected by the illusion while watching the live stream. But in reality, not much dopamine was absorbed from each person. And Yu Yuanyuan herself should know what she was doing."
"Really?" Liu He felt a little skeptical.
......
Yu Yuanyuan absorbed the energy gathered from online viewers around the world, making the demonic energy around her even more intense and powerful.
In Linnaeus's view, it was like the center of a level 10 dark storm vortex.
Lin Nai thought to herself, "Good heavens..."
Just how much "fans' energy" did she absorb?
I initially thought Yu Yuanyuan's skill level was 5.5, which was relatively weak among the current top 32 contestants.
Now it seems that she is probably much more difficult to deal with than many people above level 6!
“It seems I really underestimated you.” Lin Nai looked at her, recalling what she had just said: “Your pink light illusion just now should have charmed everyone who saw that light. People who are charmed by you will secrete a lot of dopamine energy. The stronger their love for you, the more dopamine they will secrete. You rely on this energy to enhance your magic power.”
“That’s right, you guessed it all.” Yu Yuanyuan couldn’t help but clap her hands. “Of course, it can’t bewitch everyone. Take you, for example. You weren’t affected by my illusion, were you?”
Linnaeus: "You're in an illusion, yet you can absorb energy from the real world?"
“Yes.” Yu Yuanyuan smiled and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead: “Any audience member who can see our competition, whether they are in an illusion, on a screen, or online, will be controlled by my charm. My illusionary light can travel through all broadcast channels.”
Lin Nai frowned slightly: "Isn't this too much of a bug?"
"You still have the nerve to call it a bug? You apostles are the most unreasonable people, aren't you?" Yu Yuanyuan pouted. "If you didn't have some skills, how would you dare to play with a cheater like you?"
Linnaeus: "..."
“Alright, it’s time to end this.” Yu Yuanyuan said, “This move is forbidden by you Night Watchers, so I haven’t used it for many years. Today I finally have a chance to use it, so I’ll use it to send you, the Night Watch’s favorite to win the championship, away.”
She raised her right hand, and the black demonic energy, like a black sky, grew larger and larger...
