Chapter 598 Taunt Skills
"Stranger?!"
After a moment of silence, Marquis Winter's expression changed instantly.
He was very familiar with the source of this fluctuation. When the strangers first appeared, he had made a special effort to get to know them and had also experienced the feeling of being scanned by these strangers' special detection methods.
But what Marquis Winter never expected was that he would actually meet these cockroach-like guys here.
This is the inverted layer of the deep dream world! The deepest known level of the dream world! It was extremely difficult for him to get here, how did these guys find this place! ?
At this moment, Marquis Winter felt extremely disgusted and didn't know what to do for the first time in a long time.
As everyone knows, strangers will not really die. Even if he kills them immediately, it will be useless and he will still be exposed.
Giving up hiding and attacking immediately would be a thankless task. After all, the Nightmare Spirit King was still lurking in the air, and the city's shield was in good condition.
While in this world, Marquis Winter's own strength was also partially suppressed. Although it was not as serious as the Nightmare Spirit King, it was enough to make him uncomfortable.
With his scarlet eyes, he glared at the two players coldly, and then Marquis Winter made a decision. Anyway, these strangers posed no threat to him for the time being, so the original plan remained unchanged.
So he simply ignored the two players and played ostrich to the end.
"Have you seen the panel, Swan? There is definitely a big boss hiding here! Maybe the plot has not progressed yet, so he remains hidden for the time being and has not launched an attack on us."
"The mission should be completed now, no wonder the reward is so generous. Should we go back now, Rat? If we stay here for too long, I'm afraid he will do something to us."
What Marquis Winter didn't know was that the two players were also discussing in the team channel at this moment.
Indeed, due to the huge gap in strength, the Broken-necked Swan and the Mouse could not touch Marquis Winter at all, and there were also a series of question marks on the information panel returned by the detection, but what was certain was that the opponent was a red name.
"No, Swan, this task shouldn't be that easy."
Stroking his beard, the mouse began to analyze the situation for the duck player with a wise look on his face.
"Do you remember what the rabbit said? It will only give us the staff if the result 'satisfies it'. The mission description also shows that the rewards will be different depending on the player's choice.
The rabbit has a mean look on its face. If we return without investigating the enemy's identity, it will probably not give us the staff."
"Then what should we do? Our level is too low, we can't detect the other party's identity at all?!"
Listening to the mouse's analysis, the Broken-Neck Swan was a little confused.
"No... I seem to understand. The real way to complete this mission is for us to take the initiative and find a way to force the boss to show up in advance!"
But the mouse player seemed to suddenly realize something and his thoughts gradually became clear.
"Go back and report the news first, Swan. You only have two resurrections left, and the risk of luring the boss out is too high. And if you die in this hidden map, you will most likely be resurrected outside. We can't all die here.
However, after completing this mission, I will take an extra 20% of the proceeds from selling the staff."
Finally, the mouse player made a plan and sent the request to the other two members of the team who were not present at the meeting, which won the approval of others.
"No problem, I'll go back first then."
Nodding, Broken-necked Swan no longer hesitated, and directly cast [Light Body Technique] and [Oil on the Feet] on himself, and then left quickly.
Watching the duck player gradually go away and feeling that the other party was safe, the mouse calmed down and threw a fireball directly at the position where Marquis Winter was.
But what made the mouse helpless was that the exploding fireball seemed to have really hit an open space, and there was no feedback that the target had been hit.
After trying several more spells, he finally determined that he probably couldn't touch the other person at all.
After hesitating for a while, the mouse found that he seemed to have only one last resort.
Once this method is used, he has a good chance of the boss appearing, but he will probably die.
Under the puzzled gaze of Marquis Winter, the mouse took a deep breath.
"Can you hear me? You are a scum who only hides in the dark corner like a rat. You are dead! ****..."
Marquis Winter: … … .… Finally, after uttering the tenth dirty word in a different way, the mouse died as he wished. Marquis Winter did not show up, but simply used a little magic power to crush the mouse to death.
But when Marquis Winter took action, some of his own aura inevitably leaked out.
Therefore, Avis, who was paying attention to the movements of the two players throughout the whole process, immediately obtained a lot of information.
A hostile ninth-level who has hidden his identity. He has neither the aura of a nightmare spirit nor the aura of a trial-taker. He is a pure outsider.
But being able to arrive here at this critical moment and hide beside the battlefield, he must have been invited by the nightmare spirit or one of the trial-takers, intending to take advantage of the battle between the two sides by making a move secretly.
Want to do something bad behind his back?
So, Avis used his pocket watch to communicate with the magic circle outside and manually highlighted Marquis Winter.
Thanks to this enthusiastic ninth-level passerby who brought his own dry food to help! The next moment, with the thick dreamy lightning lingering around his body, the unfortunate Marquis Winter groaned, and could no longer maintain his hidden state, and was directly exposed to everyone's eyes.
Both sides were surprised by the sudden appearance of this unknown ninth-level person. Duchess Lina was delighted and surprised. She did not expect that Marquis Winter would also be attacked by the world rules.
Of course, Marquis Winter himself did not expect things to turn out like this, but this is not his biggest trouble now - the Nightmare Spirit King has set his sights on him!
"Is this what you rely on? It's useless... All resistance is futile in the face of absolute power—"
As if angered by Anvis's arrangement, the Nightmare King finally spoke for the first time after coming to this world.
As it spoke, a blanket of nightmare power black fog emanated from its labyrinthine body, like a huge sky curtain, directly covering the sky of the entire Incredible Kingdom.
With this move, the dreamy lightning condensed by the power of the world's rules that was lingering on its surface suddenly became almost undetectable like rootless water.
"Your Excellency the Nightmare Spirit King, I am not your enemy. My goal is also to capture this city. We can completely refrain from invading each other."
Looking at the huge dark maze in the sky with a little nervousness, Marquis Winter spoke in a deep voice, intending to avoid this meaningless battle.
"...No need to say more, if you don't leave here immediately, I will send you away myself!"
Unlike Anvis, Marquis Beshim, who was very familiar with Marquis Winter, had already recognized his temporary ally.
Because of this, he instantly understood that the other party was most likely here for Fiona as well.
Not to mention that the fundamental goals of both parties are in conflict with each other. For Marquis Beshim, who has long regarded this world as his own back garden, even if they are temporary allies, extending their hands to this world is absolutely not allowed.
In the eyes of Marquis Beshim, the only person in this world who poses a real threat to him is Winter. As for Fiona's power of rules, it is far from enough for him.
He was not at all comfortable keeping Marquis Winter here, so he might as well drive this unstable factor out of the world completely in advance.
The negotiations broke down, and Marquis Winter took a deep breath and also took action.
He also had his own pride. Since the other party rejected his request for cooperation, there was no need to show weakness. He was not really afraid of this so-called Nightmare Spirit King, but he did not want to be taken advantage of.
As the two collided, the dark sky that was originally covering the sky instantly shattered into a huge hole.
The Blood-Eyed Mosasaur, the source of Marquis Winter's bloodline, is a being that is equally good at magic and melee combat. In just a few moments, it collided countless times with the huge body of the Nightmare Spirit King.
And every time there is contact, the power of rules of Marquis Winter will invade into the depths of the Nightmare Spirit King's maze structure in a special form and cause destruction.
