Chapter 424 Pay Attention to Emotions
"The exit is blocked. We can't leave! What do we do?"
"Give us weapons, and we'll fight too..."
"How could we possibly defeat that monster? Let me go. I've had enough..."
"Foolish! The Holy Light will protect us. I just felt its power here. The Holy Light will not abandon us..."
......
The Scarlet Crusaders and Leon's group present had ceased their standoff. The Scarlet Warriors were unaware that the holy light they had just witnessed came from the Holy Knight Britney, who had activated her wings of light...
However, they naturally huddled together, leaving Lorraine and Terra isolated on one side.
Before Lorra and Terra noticed, the group of Crimson Warriors had all huddled to one side, hiding with their leader.
These people seemed terrified...
Even the resolute and courageous Hernold and Jordan remained silent, their faces grave. They tried their best to restrain themselves, the blood-red warriors maintaining their formation. They mustn't lose their composure, they had to overcome their fear... and face the darkness.
They chanted prayers of holy light, encouraging one another...
Protect the fearful behind you.
These bloodthirsty fanatics all look like this, but what about Lorraine and Terra?
Lorraine and Terra found themselves at the very front of the steps without realizing it; they had been at the back just moments before. The human group simply made way for them, switching places. Lorraine was speechless but offered no objection.
Because the exit was blocked...
Now transformed into the Faceless Mage, Garas unleashed a Dark Void Barrier that devours both magic and physical entities, just like the Faceless One's true form that Lorraine had previously dealt with; ordinary attacks are ineffective against it.
Conventional magic actually increases the opponent's energy...
Holy Light spells can weaken the power of the void to some extent, but the gap between the strength of these mortals and the Faceless Ones is too great.
The Faceless One entity, having devoured the energy of thousands of life forms, was at least ten times stronger and of a different level... It seemed that everyone present was a lamb, waiting to be devoured by the Faceless One wolf pack...
Among the flock of sheep were a few oddballs, the leaders of which were Lorraine and Terra.
Next were the Sword of Tranquility and the Crimson Warrior, as well as the so-called Pure One... and the mayor's former servant, Brancard, was also in good condition. He seemed to have become much more resolute after experiencing shock and despair, especially under the illumination of the wings of holy light, which seemed to have ignited a source of devout holy light.
An unawakened paladin...
A human teenager, kind-hearted and physically strong... who has been raised as the mayor's close attendant and butler, and has met many nobles and received numerous archmages... would be a protagonist in any novel or other world, but unfortunately, at this moment, he is only a supporting character.
The real protagonist, of course, is our Lorraine...
Lorraine, teetering on the edge of darkness, is reckless and unburdened. Captain Terra has been helping her all along; this beautiful blood elf, Lorraine, should fight alongside her to the very end.
But at this moment, he kept hearing strange voices, "This woman wants to kill you... You are the incarnation of evil death, all life will fear you..."
I don't know if it's the seed of plague, or Mayor Bourne from across the street, or someone else causing trouble elsewhere.
Lorraine subconsciously observed Terra's expression and indeed sensed something was amiss... Terra seemed to be protecting Lorraine, but in reality, there seemed to be a small distance between the two.
Lorraine scratched his head absentmindedly...
Doubt, worry, hesitation, and inner conflict.
Willpower waned, fear spread.
......
"I hate using my brain! So what if I die? What's there to be afraid of? I've almost died countless times, and every time I've survived by the skin of my teeth... The more afraid you are of dying, the faster you die... Why think so much? Without the teacher, am I not even going to be able to eat four hot dishes? Screw you, I'll definitely find a way to deal with these octopus monsters!"
Lorraine suddenly slapped him.
Crisp, yet dull.
Terra was shocked and furious; Lorraine had actually slapped herself...
"Don't look into those monsters' eyes; they can control and influence your thoughts and emotions..."
Terra snapped out of her daze and noticed that these Faceless Ones did have facial features, just not the features of normal humanoid creatures. Wilkes had a huge, eerie eyeball on the top of his head, while Horace had small, lifeless, bean-like eyes...
The town mayor was even more bizarre; he looked like a combination of a lobster human and a crab, with limbs resembling those of an octopus and a horned, pockmarked elephant-headed monster... He was enormous, yet seemed weightless, floating lightly on the boundary between reality and illusion...
The creature from another realm, if the teacher were conscious, would surely cry out... Enrag... regarded as the corrupted avatar of an ancient god on earth, the god of death, devouring all physical energy and flesh... Its body is composed of void dark matter, its form changing shape like liquid and steam at any time...
In short, this creature cannot be viewed through the lens of common sense; it is not a living being at all.
Conventional physical attacks and magical bombardments are ineffective...we must find other ways to deal with it.
On Terra's fair face were Lorraine's dark handprints. She pondered Lorraine's words; she had indeed had the urge to kill him just now. Lorraine said it was the eyes of the Faceless Ones influencing her thoughts and emotions, and she felt it was true.
But why did you slap her...?
With his filthy undead hands, he struck the face of a noble and great high elf archmage like myself. For two hundred years, the proud and proud Terra has never been struck by anyone, not by a man, not by a dead man, not by a zombie-like evil undead mage...
She gritted her teeth, growing angrier the more she thought about it...
Eyes wide open in anger!
"Pay attention to their emotions...they can also control their emotions..."
"Ok?"
Terra looked suspicious, clenching her fists as the Faceless One approached. She was certain this kid was seeking revenge... This person, no, this necromancer, was cunning; he was definitely plotting something evil. I had to be careful...
We absolutely cannot let him escape.
Terra squinted... "I hit him twice, and he hit me once... Once we get out of here, I'm going to teach him a lesson! Just like that guy who got chained into the lava."
Terra's eyes flashed with malice. The unfortunate one she was referring to was none other than Prince Galin & Thorbain, who was still alive and suffering from the torment of hellfire.
Mayor Bourne held his new figurine, watching the humans struggle and succumb to fear. He seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of terror in the air and was preparing to have some more fun.
......
Lorraine, as if possessed, slapped Terra, instantly putting him in a good mood... Terra was about to lash out, ignoring the approaching Faceless Ones. At that moment, Lorraine became serious again and spoke to Terra.
"I'll hold them off; you figure out a way to escape. I'll come and break the barrier... Go, don't worry about me... I'm sorry, the ancient artifact you're looking for might be lost... Remember, hurry... Thank you for saving me. This is to repay you; forget about the monkey ball, but 30,000 gold... I'm afraid I could never earn that much in my entire life..."
After Lorra finished speaking, while Terra was still in a daze, he fell backward on his own...
His entire body collapsed onto the blood pool altar below...
"Are you crazy?!"
Terra cried out in surprise. Lorraine shoved her hard from the front, a tremendous force shooting through her chest, pushing her against the side of the staircase wall. When she regained her senses...
Lorraine has fallen into the crevice below...
