Foggy Meidasilin, eastern suburbs.

'Plop! Plop! Plop!'

In an inconspicuous hotel room, three guests collapsed to the ground.

After a while, a team of shadow guards entered the room, stripped the three unconscious tenants of their clothes, searched them from head to toe, and also searched the room carefully.

Soon, a large number of strange and bizarre magical weapons were obtained.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen walked into the room and spent three minutes casting Rosen's Soul Confinement Spell of Strength 19 and Scale 10,000 on the three unlucky guys.

The three unlucky guys were just ordinary legendary warriors, with their soul size at most less than 10 Rosens. When faced with such a powerful restraining force, they had no chance of escape.

"It's safe."

Zoya comes in, followed by Jadiya.

Jadiya ordered his shadow guards: "Throw them all into the dungeon and keep them well. Don't let them die or run away."

After the shadow guards took the three unlucky guys away, Jiadiya asked excitedly, "Brother-in-law, are there any more?"

Rosen was using the Mage's Hand to check the magical weapons these guys were carrying.

"There is another group of people, but they are hiding very well. My Void General has not found them yet."

Zhuoya stood by and looked at the spoils, with a look of fear on her face: "I never thought that Druitan would hire so many mortal legendary mercenaries."

These mercenaries were very skilled at hiding and possessed very powerful spells. If they were not found in advance and they really teamed up with Druitan to attack at the wedding, something serious might happen.

Rosen has already checked the magic weapons and has almost figured out their functions. They are all unconventional and their absolute strength is not high.

It is a powerful weapon for sneak attacks and assassinations, but is almost useless in frontal combat.

This is understandable. As mercenaries, their mission is to assassinate the emperor. A head-on confrontation is meaningless, and only a sneak attack has a chance of success.

"The effects of these magical instruments are mysterious and sinister. Many of them are terribly poisonous. Be careful when studying them."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. Shadow Guard has the most experience in this matter."

Rosen said to Zhuoya again: "Let's go, let's continue shopping and find the last group of mercenaries."

It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, but due to the large-scale construction of the Lightning Network, Metasilin had added a large number of electrical equipment.

Street lights have even been installed on both sides of many main roads.

Therefore, Metasirin, which is known as the city that never sleeps, is completely worthy of its name.

Even in the suburbs at this time, the streets are very bright, and there are many pedestrians shopping on the roads, and many of them are young lovers chatting and talking about love.

Walking on such a street, there is something romantic about it.

Zhuoya found it very interesting and walked around with Rosen with great interest for a while before she remembered her duties as a queen.

"This team of mercenaries is really good at hiding."

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening and the curfew was about to begin. They had the great advantage of having a vision in the void, and there was also a big demon in the void to help find people, but they still couldn't find this group of "rats".

Rosen's face showed a trace of solemnity: "Indeed, he can hide, and he is deliberately hiding from us, as if he can always find out our location."

"ah?"

Zhuoya was slightly surprised by Rosen's expression, because they had caught hundreds of mice in the whole afternoon, and Rosen had always been joking.

"Do they actually have void vision as well?"

Rosen nodded.

"Sagakar has discovered some traces they left behind. Judging from the current situation, this team consists of five people."

"At least one of them has a void vision that is not inferior to ours."

"But this person should not be the captain of this mercenary team, because he is taking an indirect approach to change the direction of this team."

Only a small part of this information was discovered by Sagakar, while the majority was discovered by Lai Fu.

With the support of the huge soul, Lai Fu's detection sensitivity has reached an incredible level.

"What should we do then?"

"We need to speed up and use flying to get there."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to lure Druitan, who's hiding in the void, over here."

As he spoke, he flew into the sky and Zhuoya followed immediately.

She was not idle either, and immediately marked the friendly spell marks for herself and Rosen.

In this way, they can get the cooperation of the city's defense forces.

On the contrary, this team of hidden mercenaries cannot cast any spells, so their movement speed will be much slower than that of the two.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen expanded the range of the void vision, from the initial radius of 2 kilometers to the maximum of 10 kilometers.

The expansion speed was very fast, which obviously far exceeded the other party's reaction.

Rosen immediately spotted the target: 'See? 7 kilometers east by north.'

Zhuoya didn't notice anything unusual: "Is there?"

"Five people, driving a lightning car, the speed is quite fast, but not as fast as our flying speed."

Rosen immediately flew towards the fleeing Lightning Car.

"They are escaping from the range of the Phase Binding Array. They obviously want to abandon the mission and run away."

Zhuo Ya followed Rosen and said, "Then let's just drive them away. There's no need to take the risk of fighting them."

This is the safest approach.

But Rosen was very curious about the other party's ability to have a void vision: "Of course this is the best way under normal circumstances, but I feel that this mercenary team has a very valuable good thing hidden in it."

"Zhuoya, contact Jadiya and ask her to send shadow guards to intercept the lightning car in front, but be careful and don't rush forward."

"good."

Zhuoya took out the lightning communicator and started to make contact.

At this moment, elite shadow guards were distributed throughout the entire Metasilin. Soon after the news came out, the shadow guards within 5 kilometers around the target lightning car immediately responded at high speed.

A total of 2,000 shadow guards formed an airtight encirclement, completely blocking the Lightning Car's escape route.

If you want to escape, you have to fight head-on.

Rosen and Zhuoya used the void vision to closely observe their opponents.

Zhuoya was constantly informing the Shadow Guard of the target's specific location and movements, while Rosen mobilized Lai Fu's maximum computing power to carefully analyze the strength of the five targets.

The five people hid very well, with almost no trace of their souls and magical powers leaking out. Even if the great god came, he probably wouldn't be able to find them.

But Lai Fu is an exception.

The sharpness of its detection ability far exceeds that of all life in the world.

And this is as it should be, because life capacity is limited.

And blessing is not life, it is a powerful soul tool to expand life capabilities.

Just like the eyes of life cannot see as far as an astronomical telescope, and the ears of life cannot hear as well as sonar.

Soon, the investigation produced preliminary results.

"There are five of them. The strongest one is the soul of Legend 11. The remaining four are Legend 7, Legend 6, Legend 4, etc. There is also one who is a bit weird!"

Zhuoya immediately asked: "What's so strange about it?"

"Strange, I can't see this person's soul. It's like an empty shell of an element that can move, but it has very, very huge magical power."

The strength of mana is not high, about legendary 8, but the scale is roughly equivalent to that of 5000 Rosen, far beyond the ordinary mortal legendary powerhouse.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a puppet, but its magic power does not have the stiff mechanical feeling of a puppet at all. Instead, it is full of vitality, showing soul-like characteristics.

"There is magic power but no soul. No, it seems that the magic power is replacing the soul?"

"Is this okay?"

In the eyes of low-level mages, soul and magic power are exactly the same power, but in the eyes of high-level or even legendary masters, these two are completely different things.

Just like liquid water and water vapor are both water, but only liquid water, and never water vapor, can constitute life.

Just when everyone was wondering, something strange happened again.

"Oh no, he found me and is casting a spell on me!"

At this moment, the two sides were four kilometers apart, far beyond the attack range of ordinary spells.

But legendary spells, especially legendary soul spells, have a characteristic that 'what is visible is what is achieved'.

That is to say, as long as you can sense the other party's existence, you can attack the other party's soul.

In a sense, the upper limit of a legendary wizard's attack range depends on the upper limit of his perception range.

That strange soulless wizard could obviously sense Rosen, so Rosen naturally did not dare to underestimate him.

At this time, he could completely counterattack. With Lai Fu's speed of "Heart of the God of War", he would definitely be able to strike back first.

But just as "Heart of the God of War" mobilized its forces to fight back, Rosen adjusted his strategy.

'Execute the strongest passive defense strategy.'

The reason was simple, because he saw Druitan in the 'void'.

This guy was hiding in the void, and was moving towards him in what he thought was a stealthy manner.

Little did they know that Rosen saw everything clearly.

"Want to sneak attack me? Then I will pretend I don't know and show you my weakness."

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Rosen fell to the ground immediately.

At the same time, Lai Fu also faithfully implemented the strongest passive defense strategy.

It is to mobilize strength and build a shield of extreme scale and strength on Rosen's body and soul.

Just as Rosen's feet touched the ground, the Soulless Mage's attack arrived.

It was obvious that the place where he landed was a square next to a fountain, and the floor was a flat stone slab.

But after he landed, his feet couldn't feel anything, as if he was stepping on air.

At the same time, he found that he could no longer feel the existence of his body.

Rosen felt familiar with this feeling: "Is it a soul attack method similar to the dream realm?"

In another moment, he heard a loud bang in his ears, and a bright flash of lightning cut through the thick darkness and struck him directly.

No, not on the body, but on the soul! The opponent has no soul, but he uses soul magic.

At this moment, the surface of Rosen's soul was wrapped in a giant soul shield with a size of up to 10,000 Rosens and a legendary strength of 19.

Faced with this soul-blow, he felt his mind slightly shaken.

It felt like driving a Lightning car over a rock, not a big deal.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap."

Bright lightning struck one after another, and within one second, there were thirty-six strikes!

Rosen also felt his soul tremble slightly thirty-six times.

Lai Fu sent a message.

'The soul shield was slightly damaged by the soul attack, consuming about 300 Rosen Power.'

This information surprised Rosen slightly.

"This attack is quite powerful. If I were an ordinary mortal legend, this would be enough to shatter my soul countless times."

It has never been his nature to not fight back when being beaten.

Although the current situation is a bit strange and he cannot feel the opponent's position, power will never come out of thin air.

Since this soul lightning can strike him, Rosen can naturally follow the lightning to find the caster's location.

"Hmm~~ You actually used ghost resonance to transfer power. How cautious! But I have also studied ghost resonance."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he instantly condensed the soul power of 1,000 Rosens and condensed it into soul blast. He followed the path of the lightning and poured all this power into his brain.

As the power was poured in, the thick "ink" dissipated, and Rosen felt the existence of his body again.

He was standing firmly on the ground.

After the soul and body were reconnected, the little bit of soul power that had just been lost was instantly replenished.

The entire confrontation was secretive and swift, lasting less than five seconds.

He checked the target's situation again.

They discovered that the lightning car the target was riding in had overturned on the ground.

Of the five people in the car, the souls of four of them had already shattered, and it was obvious that they were dead.

The remaining strange existence had its magic power about 50% weaker than before, but it was still moving.

Soon, Rosen deduced the course of the previous battle through the traces of battle.

'This Soulless Mage has no soul of his own, so my soul strike cannot directly harm him.'

'But the huge soul power must be released, otherwise once it decays into magic power, he will be completely finished.'

'Then, the released soul power brought disaster to his four companions, but he himself survived.'

At this moment, the aura of phase-shifting power appeared on the body of the strange soulless wizard.

He could actually run away.

We can't let him get away.

As soon as Rosen thought about it, infinite phase transfer was activated, and his body arrived 50 meters away from the overturned lightning car in an instant, followed by an enhanced version of the phase confinement array.

Immediately afterwards, he cast a fierce mind-shaking spell at the man, with a spell size of 300 Rosens.

It could have been stronger, but Rosen was worried about killing the opponent.

After two spells were cast, the opponent's phase shift was interrupted, and his body shook violently, and he fell in the car and lay motionless.

But you can still feel the breathing and heartbeat, which means the person is still alive.

Even at this point, Rosen still couldn't feel this person's soul, as if it was just an empty magical shell.

He became more and more curious: "Where does this guy come from?"

He was about to go forward to check it out, but before he could take action, a cold but joyful voice rang out in his mind.

"Ahaha~ I finally caught you!"

Druitan finally arrived.

Rosen was also delighted: "Hey, I'm waiting for you!"

As a powerful god close to Legend 13, his attack speed far surpassed that of mortals, and Rosen himself had no time to react.

Therefore, he had already completely delegated the relevant combat authority to Lai Fu.

Lai Fu has also been preparing for "Heart of the God of War".

Its reaction speed was even faster than Dritan's! Its defense was sufficient. The Soul Shield that had just been activated was maintained, enough to resist Dritan's attack.

Therefore, Lai Fu divided the operations into twenty lines.

In a very short period of time, twenty Soul Oath Swords with a size of 500 Rosens and a strength of Legend 19 were condensed.

Because it is a parallel operation and the spell size is relatively small, the speed is extremely fast.

At the same time, "Heart of the God of War" used the Ghost Resonance Staff to quickly absorb massive amounts of legendary mana from the endless crystal array, and used the conversion array to convert this mana into pure soul power to replenish the body's soul power consumption.

The moment Lai Fu completed these actions, Druitan's attack followed.

Because Rosen's soul was hidden inside the magic circle and the soul fog was incredibly thick, Dritan could hardly see the specific situation inside the magic circle.

The only thing he could see clearly was the power connection point between Rosen and the Eleven Rings.

"Hehe, if you keep hiding in the magic ring, I may not be able to kill you. But you actually don't know how to live or die and connect the eleven magic rings. If you don't die, who will die?!"

Because he can directly attack Rosen's soul through this connection point.

He thought so and did so! In the eleventh ring, his attack was an extremely thick spiritual lightning, with an intensity focused to Legend 17 and a scale of about 500 Rosens.

The scale of this spell is not large, but it is already too heavy for mortals to bear.

The advantage of small-scale spells is that they can be activated quickly.

After a successful strike, he would escape into the void and wait for the mortal world to fall into chaos and civil war.

Druitan was secretly proud in his heart: "I'm going to launch such a sudden sneak attack with such a fast attack speed. I wonder how you can stop me."

The next moment, something strange happened.

20 lightsabers suddenly pierced through the wall of the tenth ring.

The speed was even faster than that of Druitan, so that he had no time to dodge.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~"

The lightsaber was also extremely sharp, and it pierced through Dritan's body in one go, turning him into a hedgehog.

The next moment, Druitan's spiritual lightning struck Rosen's soul fiercely.

Then, nothing changed.

Rosen's soul still exists, and the soul lightsaber he activated is still piercing into Dritan's body, quickly turning into runes and wreaking havoc in his body.

In the void, a human face appeared in the deep blue light representing Dritan, with a look of astonishment.

"how so?"

This was totally different from what he expected.

On the other side, the moment Rosen hit Dritan's soul, he immediately felt something was wrong.

"This is not the body of a void being, this is a puppet substitute!"

He thrust the Soul Oath Sword into the body of the void creature several times, and knew very well what it felt like.

"Laifu, jump and chase!"

Rosen himself is an expert in puppet substitution, so how could he not be on guard against his opponent using this trick?

The so-called jumping pursuit is a new combat soul spell he developed.

It is to use the residual soul in the substitute as a pedal for ghost resonance, and directly infuse power into the main soul controlling it behind the scenes.

At this time, the consumed soul power has been replenished into the soul.

Taking advantage of the moment when Dritan was stunned, "Heart of the God of War" condensed as much soul power as possible, poured it violently into the puppet substitute, and used it as a springboard to project it into the distant void.

Almost in an instant, Druitan, who was sitting under an ancient pocket-sized tree far above the Moon Ring, suddenly opened his eyes, then immediately covered his forehead. He couldn't control his body and fell forward to the ground, shaking violently while lying on the ground.

As soon as he felt something was wrong, he immediately severed the soul connection with his substitute, but he was still a step too late.

A small and extremely concentrated force entered his soul.

He lay on the ground and shook violently for half an hour before he gradually calmed down.

When he sat up again, the rune light and shadow surrounding Dritan had obviously dimmed a lot, and the blue light emanating from his body was a little unstable.

There was a deep shock in his eyes: "I actually lost?!"

If he hadn't used a substitute, and if the Moon Ring hadn't been far enough away from the Plane Ring to greatly weaken the power of the opponent's last soul spell, he might have died by now.

Although he was not dead at this moment, he was seriously injured. If he concentrated for a moment, his soul would feel a sharp pain.

I'm afraid it will take at least two or three years to recover.

He just couldn't figure out: "Why did I lose?"

"What on earth did he, a mortal, use?!"

I can’t figure it out. I really can’t figure it out. I have no clue at all.

But one thing is beyond doubt.

The path of Void Assassination cannot be taken anymore, or else you will really die! (End of this chapter)
