Chapter 116 Disguise
Every collision would cause a second-level creature to spit blood and its defense to collapse.
After becoming proficient, she was even able to completely melt the metal sand into metal lava through electromagnetic heating.
Then she controlled the boiling metal lava and performed various attacks and defenses like a living creature.
This was a completely crushing battle!
Faced with Augusta's exaggerated offensive, it didn't take long for these guys who already had ulterior motives to collapse.
But at this time, it was Augusta who didn't want them to escape.
Facing enemies trying to escape, Augusta condenses metal sand or lava into high-density metal bullets, and uses electromagnetic catapults to launch them at an astonishing initial velocity for long-range sniping.
Those dozen or so second-level creatures were completely turned into "weaklings" who were easily crushed in front of Augusta's extraordinary "electromagnetic control".
Almost single-handedly, she suppressed more than a dozen level-two creatures and the entire fortress's defense system on the front battlefield!
Finally, after several minutes of one-sided slaughter, more than a dozen enemies were wiped out by Augusta.
The interior of the swamp fortress was completely destroyed by metallic sand and lava, leaving only ruins.
Finally, the metal sand particles and residual lightning in the sky gathered around her, condensing into a spiral lightning column with a sharp explosion.
The lightning column was mixed with high-density iron sand that was heated to red, and with unstoppable power, it accurately pierced the fallen priest's chest, which had not yet fully recovered!
"ah!!"
The fallen priest let out a short and desperate scream, and his body was instantly vaporized by the impact of the lightning pillar, leaving behind only a huge energy void and air filled with a burnt smell.
With the death of the core priest, the divine power connection of the Corrupted Swamp Fortress was completely severed, and the fortress quickly collapsed. The remaining corrupted creatures also quickly disintegrated due to the loss of divine power, turning into pools of smelly pus.
Seeing the battle over.
A trace of pain finally appeared on Augusta's expressionless face. The battle just now had pushed her to her limit.
The electric light on her body quickly dissipated, and the metal sand particles surrounding her fell from the sky as if they had lost their lives.
Her body shook violently, and she fell to one knee, breathing heavily.
Her mental strength was almost exhausted, and her whole body was in great pain, as if she had been pricked by countless fine needles.
She had overdrawn her mental strength in this battle.
Her teammates looked at her in shock; they had never imagined Augusta could be so powerful.
At this moment, the shadow of the god appeared again in the sky, and the scene of the plane barrier being torn apart also appeared again, indicating the second release of the list.
Augusta felt a huge influx of information, accompanied by an instant surge in her contribution number!
Her name rushed directly into third place on the overall list.
However, she did not feel proud at all.
Her gaze passed through her own name and fell on the dazzling name at the very front of the list - "Jeming"!
Augusta pursed her lips, then a pale but remarkably determined smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She clenched her fists subconsciously and murmured softly:
"...Jereming, you really didn't let me down. But this is just the beginning. I haven't... lost yet!"
…
…
The other side.
Although he didn't want to admit it, after saying goodbye to Amy and Victor, Benjamin did feel an unprecedented freedom.
He stood at the edge of the camp and looked back one last time at the brightly lit area.
Although teaming up with two people did provide a lot of help to Benjamin, for example, if a person is alone in the wild, the long-term mental tension will cause his attention and mental strength to be consumed very quickly.
Or if you have teammates, you can have a short rest at night.
Or if he was promoted to a first-level wizard before, the huge energy fluctuations would easily attract enemies outside, and he would have to rely on the two of them to watch over him.
Even when facing the Blood Angels before, if the three people had not cooperated well and helped Benjamin gain the precious time to activate the magic weapon, Benjamin would not have been able to win.
But in order to take care of the two people's psychology, Benjamin did put himself under considerable restrictions to a certain extent.
For example, the list.
Number one on the list?
It's just a number.
Although it will indeed bring tangible benefits, it is not enough to make Benjamin pay too much attention to it.
For a long time, in order to take care of the two people's emotions and their interests, Benjamin had been working hard with them to complete the task, which was somewhat contrary to his real thoughts - he wanted to truly feel this plane, not just regard it as a mission target.
He removed all the symbols of Norn Academy from his body, put away those overly conspicuous magical weapons, and left only a few core symbolic magical weapons hidden under his clothes.
Instead, he wore a plain leather armor, rough yet practical, just like the most common wandering warriors in this plane.
"This disguise should be enough." Benjamin muttered to himself, his fingers gently stroking the dagger at his waist.
As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Benjamin's control over his body is actually quite good.
His every move was accompanied by a level of coordination and explosiveness that surpassed that of an ordinary person. In addition, the wizard's physical strength was significantly increased during meditation. His physical fitness was comparable to that of the elite warriors in the Elosia plane.
Moreover, the inner circulation method he practiced was not just able to block the power of the cultivators.
When necessary, he could even completely block the wizard's surging mental power in his body, making his aura no different from that of an ordinary person.
Recalling the battles of the warriors he had encountered before, Benjamin tried a few more times.
Soon, he learned to use a trace of mental energy to subtly amplify the surrounding elemental forces while swinging the sword, so that each slash carried a power that no mortal could achieve, but without any trace of a wizard.
Perfect!
He can now perfectly disguise himself as a powerful warrior in this world.
When he no longer limited his vision to those obvious contributions, he chose to take the initiative to go deep into the heart of Elosia.
It is to personally experience the customs and practices of this plane and feel its unique culture and vitality.
At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to collect some special materials needed for his "weapon refining" during the exploration process.
It took several more days for Jemin to travel through several mountains, forests and wildernesses, and finally arrived at Golden Harbor, a prosperous city in the Elosia plane.
According to the information he knew, this port was an extremely prosperous city under the control of humans, and its prosperity could be ranked among the top five.
However, such a prosperous city also means that the rules are more stringent. Through the eyes of investigation, Benjamin discovered trouble outside the city gate.
Although this world seems to have a medieval technological level, it is extremely strict when it comes to the census.
If you want to enter another city, you must have an identity certificate and a relevant letter of introduction, otherwise you will be stopped by the city guards and questioned at the very least, or arrested at the worst.
The only people who can leave the city freely and travel between different areas are probably adventurers.
But adventurers themselves also have their own unique credentials and identity information registered with the Adventurer's Guild.
Benjamin did not rush in rashly.
He waited for more than half a month along several small roads near Golden Harbor, as patient as a dormant hunter.
The list was updated again during this period. It was obvious that Benjamin's previous top spot stimulated those geniuses, and this time he fell to fourth place.
However, these did not mean much to Benjamin. He observed the passers-by, looking for the most suitable "target".
Finally, he waited for an adventurer who looked a little tired.
The man was wearing worn leather armor and carrying a heavy package. He had a dusty look on his face and kept cursing.
From his few words, Benjamin judged that he had just completed a letter delivery mission from another town and was about to go to the next town.
This means that the other party is holding the identity credentials and mission credentials of the next stop.
In a remote valley, Benjamin secretly dealt with the other party.
Looking at the corpse lying at his feet, Jieming was silent.
Only now did he realize that he was completely different from before, and he didn't feel any psychological fluctuations even if he killed someone he had no grudge against.
"Alas...it seems that the butt really determines the head." Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he stretched out his hand to the other person's head without hesitation, and used the "soul search" magic weapon to obtain all the memories in the other person's mind!
These memories unfolded in his mind like a library—the adventurers' names, experiences, styles of behavior, speaking habits, even their familiarity with the surrounding environment, and all information related to the mission.
With his strong mental strength, Benjamin mastered all these memories perfectly in a very short time.
He took out several special plant materials that he had collected during this period from his storage ring and quickly refined a tube of camouflage potion with a strange luster.
This potion is the result of the workshop's research specifically for plane camouflage.
After drinking it in one gulp, the medicine entered his throat, and a strange power instantly swept through his body.
Benjamin only felt as if his body was being stretched and reshaped, his bones making slight cracking sounds, and his muscles wriggling.
In a very short period of time, his height changed slightly and his facial features adjusted accordingly.
When all this calmed down, Benjamin saw a completely unfamiliar self in the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror - it was exactly the same appearance as the adventurer just now.
This disguise is semi-permanent because it is the bones and flesh that actually change, and it will not lose its effect unless Benjamin drinks a potion to remove it.
Jieming picked up the adventurer's identity card and mission certificate on the ground, and a perfectly restored tired smile appeared on his face.
He integrated himself into the team waiting to enter the city, and relied on the memories he had just acquired to deal with the routine inspections of the city guards.
"Next, identification and mission credentials!" The city guard's voice was rough.
"Here." Benjamin handed over the two things.
His voice, tone, and even the hint of impatience in his eyes were exactly the same as the adventurer in his memory.
The city guard glanced at him, then looked at Benjamin's face, which was identical to the portrait on the certificate. After confirming that he was a poor adventurer, he waved his hand in disdain: "Three copper coins for the entrance fee, go in! Come earlier next time!"
"I know, stop nagging." Benjamin muttered, took out three copper coins, and swaggered into the gate of Golden Harbor.
