Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2744 The Latent Shadow
After drinking the potion, Way made a quick decision and released the stone prison.

At the moment when the stone prison was released, the skin of Wai's whole body also turned into petrification.

With the disappearance of the stone prison, the external situation was brought into Wai's eyes, and Wai's pupils shrank suddenly at the same moment.From the reflection of Wai's pupils, one can see a pitch-black evil ghost mask, and this mask is exactly what the ghost wears on his face!
This means... the ghost is waiting for him outside the stone prison!Now it is almost standing close to the face!

Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he directly attacked the ghost.

As soon as the palms overlap, multiple soil thorns emerge from the palms. After continuous increase and continuous acceleration, the sharp soil thorns can achieve triple impact, breaking shields, drilling holes, and breaking bones, layer by layer.

At the same time, the soil thorns released horizontally will form a reaction force, which can immediately retreat and open the distance.

The soil thorn penetrated into the ghost's body smoothly, and Wai also successfully opened the distance, but he didn't look happy, because the force feedback brought by the soil thorn was obviously not right.Limp, like a prick of cotton, not a solid human being.

When Wai was in doubt, there was a sudden sound of wind behind him.

Wai didn't look back, he stepped on the ground lightly, and a stone pillar rose from the ground. Wai stood on the top of the stone pillar and rose directly to a height of ten meters.

Only then did Vai turn his head and look down.

From the shadow of the stone pillar, a human figure was slowly separated, and the faded shadow gradually became a solid body, like an ink-colored outline, colored by a painter.

The person who became the entity is just a ghost!

Wai immediately turned his head to look at the place where he released the earth thorn before, and the ghost over there was gradually fading...disappearing into nothing.

One side fades, one side fades out.Although he didn't know what the connection was, Wai understood that the move just now didn't cause any harm to the ghost.

At this time, the phantom that had turned into a solid body turned its head, and Wei clearly saw the other's face.However, the ghost at this time did not wear a mask, and his face was pitch black, like a hole in the abyss.

Under Wai's horrified eyes, the ghost's hand slowly raised, and a large number of black spots permeated his hand, finally forming a ghost mask.

Ghost covered the mask on his face with one hand. With the mask covering, Wei could feel that the face under the mask was recovering from the abyss to its real face.

When the mask was about to be put on, Wei saw the ghost's lips, thin and shaved.

The corners of the lips curled up, as if mocking, but also as if announcing victory.

Wai didn't understand why the ghost suddenly revealed its real body, and why it deliberately revealed its face and showed a sly smile.But that didn't stop Wai from attacking the ghost.

If the ghost is still in the shadow state, Wai may not be able to cause much damage to him, but if you dare to show your real body, Wai is really not afraid to confront him head-on.

Wai squatted down, touched the top of the stone pillar with his hand, and a force of the earth was sent down.

Rock thorns, like the ribs of a giant dragon, protruded from the ground and extended in different ways, trying to surround Wai.

When these slightly curved rock spurs form a circle, they can form a prison-like dome.Although this dome is the same as the stone prison technique, it can trap enemies, but trapping enemies is not the biggest effect!

This dome is called the cocoon of the earth, and it is a secret technique inherited by the Noah family.

Since it is a secret technique, it naturally has its unique features.It can create a huge space like a cocoon. When the cocoon of the earth is formed, it can directly deprive the space of the cocoon of all non-earth-type active elements.

Once trapped inside, except for using the power of the earth, you can only fight hand to hand.

It can be said that if the ghost is recruited, the basic battle is over.

Moreover, despite the appearance of these rock thorns one by one, it seems that they come out very slowly, giving people the illusion that anyone can avoid it, but it is not the case.

If an outsider learns the cocoon of the earth, it may indeed make people avoid it.But the cocoon of the earth released by Noah's family, once released, will immediately activate Noah's blood, and a power will spread to the surroundings along with the appearance of each rock thorn.

Once shrouded in power, there is basically no way to move.

Ghost Shadow is currently in the midst of power.

It's not that the ghost shadow didn't hide, but that Way cleverly used the stone pillar under his feet as the first "rock thorn" of the cocoon of the earth, and the ghost shadow happened to be right next to the stone pillar, and was immediately shrouded in power.

Seeing that the rock thorns spread through the "enclosure" method, they will soon form a "cocoon of the earth".

But at this moment, Wai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and half-kneeled on the stone pillar.At this moment, the Rockthorn paused for exactly a second.

A second later, Wai had no time to check why he was vomiting blood, and looked at the ground for the first time.

The ghost is still in place, but fortunately...

Wai was about to continue spreading the rock thorns, but suddenly, he thought of something, and a small rock thorn protruded from the ground, trying to penetrate the ghost's body.

But after the rock thorn entered the ghost's body, there was only a soft feeling, which was exactly the same as the feedback when he used the soil thorn to test the ghost for the first time!
It's a fake!
Vay was startled, and immediately stopped the cocoon of the earth.Although this secret technique is amazingly effective, it is also costly. If the release is completed, but a fake ghost is circled, then he will lose a lot.

Words like dragon bones submerged into the ground again.

Wai looked around, and the ghost had no idea where it went, even the previous fake ghost disappeared.

There were no ghosts around, and Vai could only look into the fog in the distance.If there is no accident, the ghost must have hidden in the mist again.

But when Vai looked at the fog, his expression became a little terrified.

The mist technique released by the ghost before was clearly spreading, why did it start to spread at an accelerated rate all of a sudden? !
Moreover, looking at the direction in which the mist spread, it was coming towards him!

……

"Tricked again." Doakes sighed softly in the psychic belt.

Kael: "Did something happen? I think Wai seemed to have the upper hand before. Although I don't know why the rock thorns on the ground were removed later, they should still be in an evenly matched state, right?"

Doakes: "I don't know if it's evenly matched. Because the ghost didn't face Wai head-on at all, and there was no direct contact. How could there be a balance of power and strength? Ghost is purely relying on tactics, consuming Wai Yi's magic."

So far, the only tricks ghosts have used are fog and latent image.

Among them, the mist technique is not even a trick, it can only be said to be a trick.And the art of latent image itself is the foundation of the shadow system.

Just like illusion nodes are to illusion wizards, the basics can no longer be basic.

Including the shadow avatar created, it is just an application of latent image.

As a result, two simple tricks tested Wai's two hole cards.The final outcome of this duel is still unknown, but in terms of tactics, the opponent completely crushed Wai.

"He said one theory after another, but when he actually played, it immediately became apparent." Doakes shook his head and sighed.

"Then you lost to him back then?" Angel's voice sounded in the soul belt.

Doakes snorted twice: "I was young back then, and Wai knew all my tactics and abilities very well, but his own abilities like to hide them, always saying they are family secrets. So, the duel It's time to lose, isn't it normal?"

"Also, at that time, Wai was very good at layout. When we went out to practice, he was the one who controlled the rhythm and solved the puzzles. I just..."

Angel: "Are you just a pendant?"

Doakes choked, and after a while, he said, "My intuition is not bad..."

Angel: "That is to say, apart from the talent of inspiration, you are just a pendant."

Doakes was silent for a moment, did not answer, but changed the subject: "Anyway, Wai was pretty strong back then, but it's just been wasted for so many years."

Doakes only dared to stop, because the wasted factor was actually related to Earl Black.

Wai is very wary of Earl Hei, and has never dared to practice too radically.This is why Doakes has been a formal wizard for many years, while Wai is still hovering at the peak of an apprentice.

In order to avoid being controlled, Wai has not left Mesomia for many years. No matter how strong the layout ability is, no matter how sharp the knife is, it will gradually become blunt with the passage of time.

Doakes looked at Wai, who was dwarfed by comparison in the battle, but there was no sarcasm, but more helplessness and emotion.

"Maybe, Wai is making arrangements now?" After Kael finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Earl Hei, trying to get some clues from Earl Hei.Unfortunately, Earl Hei did not respond at all.

Doakes: "If it's really a layout, then this is too big. Use your own hole cards to cheat the opponent's basic trick?"

Doakes shook his head: "Besides, didn't you notice that when Wai released the trick just now, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood."

Kael naturally saw the scene of Wai vomiting blood. In fact, he always wanted to ask what happened, but seeing that Wai quickly adjusted himself, he didn't think much about it. He only thought it was a side effect of Wai's ability to release.

But now listening to Doakes, there is actually something tricky in it?
Doakes: "Naturally there are tricks, it's impossible to vomit blood well."

When Doakes said this, he didn't continue to talk, because there was another change in the arena.

The fog spread, and it completely surrounded Vai in the fog.

Although Wai activated his blood, petrified his skin, and temporarily blocked the invasion of the bacterial barrier, he himself fell into a predicament, and it was a double predicament—getting lost and sneak attacking.

He said he was lost, but in fact Wai wanted to find a place not covered by the fog, but no matter how he walked, he couldn't get out of the fog.

As for the sneak attack, Wai was plotted by ghosts in the shadows from time to time. Even with the petrified skin on his shoulders, he couldn't hold on now.

"Oh, it's hard." Doakes sighed.

Kael looked at Wai who was like a headless chicken, his face was scorched.

Doakes turned his head to look at Kael: "How is it? Do you understand? It's better to understand, maybe the next game will be you confronting the ghost."

Hearing Doakes' question, Kael forcibly pulled his thoughts away from worry.

No matter who wins or loses in the end, he'd better be able to analyze it himself and see clearly where the key points of victory or defeat are.Otherwise, he may also fall into the opponent's trap in the subsequent battles.

And the ghost is so cunning, aren't the others cunning?Maybe even more cunning.

Thinking of this, Kael began to sort out from scratch.

When he reviewed the previous battle situation, he found that, in fact, the key point was that Wei suddenly vomited blood, which interrupted the operation of the cocoon of the earth, allowing the ghost to escape.

If Wai hadn't had a problem then, Ghost Shadow might have failed.

But why did Wai vomit blood at that time?

According to Doakes, Wai's vomiting blood is naturally tricky.The so-called tricky, it must be what the ghost did.

It may be a conspiracy, or it may be tampered with in some places.

To conspire, Ghost Shadow must have direct contact with Wai.So far, Wai and the ghost have had one contact at the beginning of the scene.

At that time, Wai was swept away by the top-down attack of the ghost, and was directly bounced more than ten meters away.

This was the only direct contact that Kael remembered.Could it be that, what did the ghost do during the hand-to-hand combat?
Kael thought for a moment and denied this guess.Because after this contact, Kael hid in the stone prison and started taking drugs.

At that time, Master Hongjian and Master Chaowei still had a conversation. From their conversation, Kael did not hear that Wai was assassinated at that time.

If it was really plotted, even if Lord Chaowei didn't say it, with Lord Hongjian's character, he would still mutter a few words.

But if that contact was ruled out, they wouldn't have had any contact, huh?

How did Nawai be plotted against?
……

On the arena, Wai was constantly ambushed, and every time the ghost was touched, he retreated immediately, without any love for fighting, nor greedy for hands.

Wai was able to resist at the beginning, but when he was attacked frequently and his petrification was destroyed, he couldn't bear it anymore.

On the one hand, it has to resist the invasion of hyphae, and on the other hand, it has to deal with ghosts.

Today's Wai is bloody from the beating.

However, so far, he still hasn't lost.It means that the ghost image did not attack Wai through the means of pheromone.

Therefore, the bottle of pheromone-variable water that Wai drank before was basically for nothing.

In the arena, when Kael was constantly reviewing the battle clips, he finally found a place that made him feel wrong from countless clips.

It was a strange point that Wai suddenly made stone pillars before.

However, judging from the follow-up reaction, Wai should be avoiding the attack behind him.

Although from Kael's perspective, there was no one behind Wai at the time, the real battle was still based on Wai's feelings.

It's strange that the stone pillars were made, and the strangest thing is that ghosts really appeared.However, the ghost image actually appeared from the shadow of the stone pillar.

This is very strange.

When did the ghost sneak into the shadow of the stone pillar?Also, why did the ghost leave from the shadow of the stone pillar?Also turned into an entity?
When these doubts made Kael feel something was wrong, a picture appeared in his mind again.

——Vai stands on the top of the stone pillar, and the ghost leaves from the shadow of the stone pillar.

In this picture, Kael's doubts before were the motives of the ghost.But looking back now, I found a blind spot.

When Wai stood on the stone pillar, his shadow was actually connected with the shadow of the stone pillar!

In other words, the ghost leaving from the shadow of the stone pillar is equivalent to leaving the shadow of Wai!

Ghost Shadow is an apprentice of the Shadow Department, and the Shadow Department is best at causing damage to the real body through shadows.

From this point alone, it is basically certain how Wai was plotted against.

Wai's vomiting of blood must have something to do with it!

On the arena, ghost shadows are opponents and enemies.He couldn't be merciful enough to only hurt Vay once.

Since he successfully sneaked into Wai's shadow, he must have done some unknown things to Wai at that time.

Could the predicament Wai is facing now be caused by that time?
