Chapter 162 Illusion
(I only posted one chapter yesterday, and I made up for it today. I rewrote 2,000 words based on the original. If you haven’t read it, you can go back and take a look.)
As the mechanism was activated, a stone pillar slowly rose from the center.
In the center of the stone pillar, there is a sphere that emits soft light, and on it there are streamers of various colors flashing, which sets off the beauty of the sphere. Outside the sphere, there is a cubic barrier, which seems to be set up to prevent others from getting the things inside.
"Hey, what a strange thing. It is blocked by the barrier and I cannot sense the breath of the things inside. However, it should be the power of the world depicted in the mural. But why is it blocked by the barrier? Is it a legacy or a seal? Logically speaking, the power of the world is the power of the world itself, which is extremely pure and should not need to be sealed."
Salman's big skull face moved closer to the barrier and observed it carefully. After saying that, he wanted to touch the barrier.
Before Soros could stop him, Salman's bony hand was about to touch the barrier.
Just at this moment, a strange wave flashed, and the next moment Soros and the other two appeared in an unknown space.
This is a strange space with many colors, like a dream.
Soros sighed helplessly. He didn't pay attention to his surroundings, but looked at the shadow that was slowly condensing in front of him.
The phantom is tall, and its body is covered with beautiful and soft white feathers, which make people want to touch them. The phantom is wearing a loose long coat that is convenient for movement. The most eye-catching thing is the pair of beautiful eyes that are emerald green, as if they were nature itself.
Looking at the figure in front of him who looked exactly like himself, Soros could still see through the essence of it with his eyes moving.
"Is it just an illusion? I see. It's a test of the power of the world. You need to defeat yourself to be qualified to touch the power of the world. The surrounding space is also an illusion created by the power of the world."
With his emerald eyes, Soros saw the essence of the illusion before him at a glance, and had already analyzed the operating principles of the world's power therein.
"The appearance of this relic is too strange. It's hard not to think of a conspiracy. However, the level of world power is already the highest level of power. Who on earth would be so generous as to leave this thing with the Disaster Clan?"
Even as Soros was talking to himself, the illusion had already launched an attack. Countless vines filled with strong vitality twisted and turned, binding Soros to the spot, and the vines' inherent abilities began to rapidly drain the energy and vitality from Soros' body.
This move is Soros' most commonly used attack method. Basically, anyone below level eight can be killed instantly with one move.
The energy and vitality in Soros' body were rapidly dissipating. His body became weak and his face became old. Even the soft and beautiful white feathers on his body that Ronnie loved so much quickly lost their luster, became rough, and even began to show signs of falling off.
"What a real illusion. Even the power of the moves is exactly the same as when I perform them myself." Soros looked at his body and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Although no one can see what I look like now, Ronnie likes this feather on my body the most. If it were gone, I would be very distressed."
The most important organ for living beings to perceive the outside world and control the body is the brain. The reason why illusions are so lethal is that if the brain thinks you are injured, you will be injured, and it is completely unreasonable.
Let's take a simple example. Why do people suddenly twitch when they sleep at night? That's because when people sleep, they lower their heart rate and other vital signs to recover from daytime fatigue. This is commonly known as the body's power saving mode. Because the power saving mode will keep the body still for a long time, the brain will transmit nerve signals to confirm whether the body is dead, causing the body to twitch uncontrollably. Well, this is also part of the reason why calf cramps occur during sleep.
In short, if the brain believes in death, then death will really occur, and it will be an attack that no rescue method can use.
Soros closed his eyes and shook his head gently. Illusions are always illusions. Even if they are real, they are all fake.
When Soros opened his eyes again, his appearance had returned to its original state. As he took a step forward, the vines bound around his body became blurry like projections.
Soros walked towards the illusion. No matter how the illusion attacked, the attacks seemed to be non-existent and passed through Soros' body.
Coming in front of the illusion, Soros raised his palm and placed it on the top of the illusion's head.
"Let's disperse."
As the words fell, the phantom's body gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely like the previous attacks.
When Soros came to his senses, he found that he was still standing in the same place, without even moving an inch, and only a moment had passed.
Except for Soros who has the ability to see through all reality with his Emerald Eyes, the only way to escape from the illusion is to defeat one's own illusion. However, the illusion has all the abilities of the original owner, so it is very difficult to defeat it.
Although Seran cannot see through the illusion, it doesn't matter. The illusion does have all his abilities and combat skills, but the illusion itself is created by the power of the world. In other words, the illusion can only copy the abilities of this world and has no way to deal with other powers.
After being transformed by Ronnie's dragon veins, although Sailan can no longer use the power of chaos directly, some derived abilities can still be used.
Considering that his duty was to protect Soros, Seran burst out with all his strength and with just one move, he destroyed his own illusion in an instant and escaped from the illusion.
As for Salman, his situation was different from that of Soros and Seran. With his ability, he could indeed see that what was in front of him was just an illusion, and he could dispel it as easily as Soros.
But his stupid thinking did not make him escape from the illusion directly, nor did he break the illusion directly like Seran, but he used various magic to test the illusion.
As a series of magic flashed, the illusion also cast the same magic.
As for the specific magic tricks... they were all created by Salman himself, such as kidney stone surgery, appendicitis surgery, oral ulcer surgery, etc. They are as stupid as they can be.
Of course, Salman used these magics purely for experimental purposes. He had been curious whether these magics that specialized in the flesh would be equally useful for his own skeleton.
The conclusion is that this kind of magic is also useful for undead who only have bones. After all, this kind of magic is based on the negative magic acting on the nerves. In other words, except for those who are born unable to feel pain, it can be used on almost anyone.
Feeling the long-lost physical pain, although Salman was still just a skeleton, he still felt nostalgic as he lay on the ground groaning in pain.
Why didn't Salman use it on himself before? It's not that this magic can't be canceled, except when the negative magic power is consumed, that is, when the time comes, otherwise it can't be lifted at all. But in the illusion, it's different. Salman can break the illusion at any time.
When Salman came out of the illusion, Soros asked him why he was so slow, and Salman answered truthfully.
This made Soros and Sete speechless, feeling that Salman was becoming more and more stupid.
