So he moved at high speed without any hesitation. In a moment, the figure of the phantom demon appeared at the edge of the nest. In another moment, he would be able to break through the defense line and escape to the outside world.
Noita observed the Phantom Demon exerting its full strength under the doe's pressure and said in approval, "Her speed is acceptable. She'll be useful in the secret realm, so this is it. However, we still need to test her combat capabilities. Do you want to go, or should I?"
Noita glanced at the doe, and the doe said softly, "Let me do it. The resurrection spell is very troublesome to perform."
The implication is that Noita was not careful enough in his attack and might accidentally kill the phantom demon.
Noita felt the anger and resentment becoming fuel for her psychic energy, and she agreed with the doe's words. Although her skill, Taming the Evils, allowed her to transform any emotion beyond a certain threshold into nourishment for growth, intense reactions like combat interrupted this process.
It will be bad if you don't take it seriously.
The doe used a little trick to catch the phantom demon who seemed to have escaped, and then threw it somewhere in the nest.
Then the rushing phantom demon's eyes blurred and he suddenly fell into a dark ice cave.
The sound of it landing was quite loud, and the slight vibration spread along the ice, instantly waking up the dormant monster.
The dark purple halo floating on the surface of the ice flickered slightly, and the vibration like an earthquake made the ice cave shake and wail continuously. The phantom demon looked around and saw crystals as big as buildings emerging from the ice one after another, looking at it coldly.
A faint light is spreading inside the matte crystal, quickly filling every part of the crystal and outlining the skeleton of the crystal scorpion.
This is a warning halo produced by the reaction of magic power and special elements inside the crystal scorpion, usually symbolizing a combat state.
If the enemy does not evacuate in time, the Crystal Scorpion will take action.
The phantom demon wanted to cry but had no tears. At this moment, he was blocked from all directions. The gaps for him to pass through were narrow and tortuous. He was like a lamb falling into a wolf's den. Where could he run?
This is really the end.
The phantom demon gritted his teeth, feeling that someone was playing with him.
The warning halo grew brighter.
The battle is about to break out.
Noita got some snacks from the Gate City, turned her emotions into appetite, and sat and watched the doe test the various abilities of the phantom demon.
I hope it’s a great game.
Chapter 130: The Robbery Walker
Faced with the overwhelming number of crystal scorpions that blocked his view, the Phantom Demon's face turned green.
One's own family knows one's own business. The Phantom Demon is very clear about his own strength. The assassination techniques he has figured out on his own are only effective against humanoid creatures. When he encounters a monster like the Crystal Scorpion, which has thick skin and flesh and is like a large alchemical armor, he is helpless.
One or two might be enough to solve the problem, but a group of them would be enough to kill it.
The phantom demon's mind was working rapidly, looking for an escape route.
But before it could find a way out, an invisible shock wave hit it first.
When the Crystal Scorpion saw that the Phantom Demon didn't respond in time, it took the initiative and destroyed it.
The overwhelming and terrifying force caused the air to distort, and in an instant, the soft and fragile internal organs and hard bones were broken together. With just one blow, the phantom demon fell to the ground, without a sound.
It's dead.
Although the body still had some warmth left, its vital organs were completely destroyed. Warm blood flowed from its ears and nose, but was frozen into powder before it even touched the ice. Then came the body of the phantom demon. Its cells and other structures were frozen by the extreme cold, and the remaining warmth of life also disappeared completely.
The crystal scorpions that surrounded it communicated silently through vibrations. One crystal scorpion destroyed the frozen body, and seeing that it did not come back to life, the crystal scorpion sank into the ice again, absorbing the power of the earth veins escaping from the node flow.
Silence returned to this place.
Noita looked at the corpse of the phantom demon through the doe's water mirror. A bunch of large and small body fragments lay on the ice. It would not be long before they were assimilated by the ice and became part of the eternal permafrost.
Noita fiddled with the water mirror and slowly raised her head: "Is it dead?"
The doe replied, "Physiologically dead."
That means he is not completely dead.
For some professionals in the Taoist path, physical death does not mean complete death. An injury that is fatal to ordinary people may be as common as eating and drinking water to them.
The director was still broadcasting, and Noita looked at the cave with understanding, waiting for the phantom demon to come back to life.
About an hour later, subtle vibrations within the ice caused an incomplete piece of the phantom's fragments to roll out.
It was a frozen eyeball, with snow still clinging to its surface, staring blankly at the top of the ice cave.
A dim light lit up in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the ice layer of unknown weight came into his sight. His gentle and weightless gaze caressed the ice layer, passing through the cracks, like golden sand flowing through fingers, along the cracks in the ice layer, looking for a tiny passage leading to the outside world.
The magic power was decreasing, and the imperceptible magic fluctuations mixed in the extreme cold and were not noticed by the crystal scorpion.
The seemingly peaceful ice cave is actually filled with communication between crystal scorpions. Vibration is their language and also the means by which they detect external objects. However, their gaze is too light and even if it is applied to the ice, it is difficult to touch their senses.
This prevented them from noticing the phantom's detection.
After a while, the phantom demon's sight found a height leading to the outside world, and it also confirmed where it was.
This is a place deep in the earth more than 300 meters below the surface, a place that is difficult to reach except for those who have reached the level of extraordinary beings.
Only a transcendental being could send it here silently without it noticing its identity. It has never offended a transcendental being. If one had to find a transcendental being hostile to it, it would probably be the shaman that Hongrong was with.
When his thoughts passed through this point, the Phantom Demon was shocked and suddenly realized the source of his tragic experience tonight.
It may have something to do with my mouth having no handle.
However, since he was not executed immediately, it means that Hongrong still wants to keep his life.
Is this a test for me to prove my worth?
If so, let them see what I can do.
The phantom demon who had found the escape route retracted his gaze, memorized the road, and his broken body suddenly floated up and gathered together, floating in the air, revealing another face.
It landed firmly on solid ground, and the vibrations it caused spread across the ice.
In an instant, a pair of dark purple pupils lit up from under the ice, and the waves that had once shattered its body rushed forward again along the medium, trying to break into its body and tear it to pieces.
The phantom demon didn't care. She stepped on the ground and appeared in the distance in an instant. In terms of speed alone, these guys were far inferior to her.
Noita paid close attention to the battle in the ice cave and realized that the phantom demon's escape was inevitable.
Although it couldn't do anything to the crystal scorpions, its short-term supersonic bursts also left the crystal scorpions helpless.
The collision between two numerical monsters, the numbers are both enough, but also not enough.
The Phantom Demon cannot break the Crystal Scorpion's armored defense, and the Crystal Scorpion cannot keep up with the Phantom Demon's speed.
However, in this battle, Noita saw some interesting things. She was quite attracted by the crystal scorpion's magical organ that controlled vibrations. Maybe she could buy one in case of emergency.
While she was thinking, the phantom demon escaped.
The next moment, the doe gently grabbed the phantom demon and pulled it into the room.
The earth-shaking changes were dizzying, and when the phantom came to his senses, he saw Noita with a gentle smile.
"Nice to meet you again, Phantom Demon. I heard that you want to eat me for the rest of my life? I have a job suitable for you that can help you quickly start your next life." Noita greeted the Phantom Demon, with threats in his words.
Although she was smiling, the phantom demon felt a chill in his heart.
The premonition of danger kept sounding the alarm, reminding him that the guy in front of him was extremely dangerous.
Whatever is beneath the surface, it is definitely not human!
This guy really wants to kill himself.
The phantom demon's body softened, and he immediately raised his hands and admitted his defeat, "I'm sorry, Lady Hongrong. I spoke unwisely out of jealousy. I was so envious of your ability to win the favor of the extraordinary that I lost my mind and slandered you."
"You know you're wrong?"
"Yes, I was wrong."
"No reward?"
"It's been an honor to work for you."
The phantom answered Noita's questions in a flattering manner, with the utmost flattery, without any discomfort at all.
This made Noita feel uncomfortable all over.
After a brief chat, Noita turned the question to the phantom demon's profession.
"I saw you die, so how come you were able to revive again later, and your combat power remained intact? What's your profession?"
"I'm a robber walker," the phantom demon said. "It's a very niche profession, with a rare inheritance. It's an advancement from a thief. Its special feature is the ability to have multiple avatars, each representing a life. If seriously injured, one can switch avatars to cover the injury and resume life in full strength."
"Also, the illusion is only a temporary cover. After reaching a safe area, we still need to find a way to repair the seriously injured illusions, otherwise the injuries will spread. If one illusion dies, or if all illusions are seriously injured, I will be seriously injured or even die."
Very good ability.
And shapeshifting sounds like the abilities of the two great paths of Qi and Ying, similar to the interchange of appearance and reality, confusing truth and falsehood.
Noita thought for a moment and asked the key question: "If the illusion completely collapses, how can we replenish it?"
"Find someone with whom you have a strong affinity, take over their fate, shoulder the consequences, and fulfill all their wishes. Then, their life will become yours, and their possibilities will become your illusion."
The phantom demon thought for a moment and added, "I can buy it on credit. There's a secret method that allows me to get the phantom form first and then fulfill my wish."
Chapter 131: Long Dream
After some questioning, Noita learned all the professional abilities of the Robber Walker.
A spell-like identity theft that can steal the target's appearance and completely mimic the target's appearance. However, if the target is not made into an illusion, only the appearance is obtained, and skills such as professional abilities cannot be obtained.
The only targets that can be stolen are humanoid creatures, and identities that are too different in size from the phantom demon cannot be obtained either.
Each phantom can enhance the basic attributes, giving the phantom an advantage when facing most professionals of the same level.
In addition, there are abilities similar to those of thieves and wanderers such as stealth, poison making, and sneak attacks.
Noita's evaluation of this profession is that it is flashy but has some strength, suitable for assassination but not suitable for siege.
The foundation is still poor. If the first-level thief is replaced with a warrior and then upgraded, the strength of the robber will definitely double!
The phantom demon now has three phantom forms, all of which have completed the karma retribution and realized the phantom form's wish.
For those who are seeking retribution for their misfortune, it is not difficult to realize their wish; the difficulty lies in finding a suitable phantom form.
According to the phantom demon, when it has the sixth phantom form, it will reach the pinnacle of the second level, and when it obtains the ninth phantom form, it will be able to achieve great achievements and be promoted to the extraordinary level.
When talking about this, Noita was slightly stunned.
Although the profession of the Robber Walker is unconventional, it has a clear method of advancement, and this single point is better than 70% of the advanced professions in the mortal world.
Based on the temperament of the Phantom Demon's Old Six, maybe he can really follow the plan and become an extraordinary person in time, and his name will shake the whole area.
Noita asked the phantom demon, "You said earlier that you received a new commission. Who is the commission from and what is the specific content?"
Finally freed from the revelations, the Phantom Demon heaved a sigh of relief and immediately sold out his employer completely: "This is the commission given to me by Wen Jiade. He suffered a serious injury some time ago, which has damaged his path. He has no hope of becoming a transcendent in the short term. So he decided to find another way and fuse transcendent organs to gain transcendental combat power, so as to join the Council of Elders."
Noita smiled subtly, she was also involved in this matter.
It seems that Wen Jiade was indeed seriously injured, and it became difficult for him to be promoted. It was just that he disguised himself well and did not let people realize that he was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
If you lack internal strength, seeking strength from outside is also a method.
Noita's bright dark eyes rolled around. No one knew about her hostile relationship with Wingard, so the phantom demon was confident and bold to admit that she was employed by Wingard.
If she knew Noita's deep hostility towards Wingard Chamber of Commerce, she would probably cut ties with Wingard immediately and say that she didn't know him.
This information gap can be exploited.
Noita propped up his face and told the phantom demon, "You can go ahead and do the original commission, but you offended me, so you also need to help me."
The phantom demon patted his chest and said, "Just give me your orders."
"I need to go to the secret realm to handle some trivial matters. I was worried about who to accompany me when you showed up. This is truly providential. Since this is God's will, you will go to the secret realm with me tomorrow and protect my safety."
"Tomorrow?" The Phantom Demon was surprised that time was so short.
"It's tomorrow, is there a problem?"
The phantom demon waved his hands repeatedly: "No."
How dare she ask questions?
After assigning the phantom demon to go deep into the secret realm with him, Noita arranged for her to rest on the sofa outside for a night.
The doe stepped out of the shadows, asserting its presence. "You don't even know its true form, and you're planning to let it go with you to the secret realm?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who enters the secret realm with me. What matters is that I'm going there." Noita relaxed in bed. "The Phantom Demon is just a sideshow. It just happened to fall into my hands. If Malachite knocks on my door tonight, then she's the one who entered the secret realm with me. Whoever messes with me will be in trouble. That's it."
"It's bad luck."
