Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

The monster in front of him looked like a giant water monster with Wilson's head, rising from the lake with a sense of oppression. Countless shadows clung to its huge body. The originally blank face was replaced by a twisted whirlpool.

Wilson's body is so tall that he looks invincible.

"How to fight this?"

Everyone in the Phantom Thieves had escaped from the ruins of the collapsed tower, but what they had to face next was Wilson, who was as tall as a mountain.

"Calm down." Lucas glanced at Hope, who was holding the treasure and not letting go. "The treasure is still in our hands."

They don't necessarily have to get entangled with Wilson here. The Phantom Thieves' goal is only the treasure. As long as the treasure is in hand, then the autonomy is in the hand.

But Wilson obviously saw this. His metallic tentacles had been blocking and harassing everyone's actions. What's more, the shadows pouring down from his body were endless and soon took over what was left after the tower collapsed. Come down to the island.

If they don't fight, I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed by the shadows. This is not a good way to die. Wilson is using the human sea tactic to consume them openly.

"Let me see how much cannon fodder you can consume." Mindy was quite excited.

She controlled the rhythm of the battle with ease, her movements were full of ruthlessness, and her deadly moves were all aimed at vital points, while the others looked a little embarrassed. Even though this was a different world, these shadows were humanoid creatures after all. They had been alone before. They can cope with it and transform it. Once the number increases, their brains will go blank, and everyone will subconsciously stop attacking in fatal places.

Fortunately, the Phantom Thieves are no longer what they used to be. Once the number of people increases, they can discover details that each other has not discovered and protect each other.

After all, the members of the Phantom Thieves are all very talented teenagers. Apart from being in a hurry at the beginning, they quickly adapted to such a terrible battle.

Dodge, output, transfer, and output again. Although the damage is average, the victory is guaranteed. After all, if anyone is injured, he will have to put in extra energy.

Of course, the main output this time is Mindy, who has mastered the thermonuclear power. Peter's physics and Hope's blessing are not very easy to use. Gwen's freezing can be controlled at least. As for the freedom to change the persona, Lucas is an exception.

He was also observing and learning Mindy's method of dealing with shadows, and integrated it in actual combat. He soon got a good look, abandoned those redundant little tricks, and gradually became more capable, becoming the second most powerful person after Mindy. output.

For a time, the Phantom Thieves actually stood firm in the shadow tide and defended the island at their feet.

But such passive defense certainly cannot last for long.

Lucas took advantage of the opportunity and shouted: "Hope, look for an opportunity to turn into a plane. If this continues, we will all die here."

"Understood!" Hope flapped his wings, came behind a few people, concentrated his attention slightly, and turned into a helicopter.

The few remaining people fought and retreated, arriving near Hope.

"You guys go first, I'll cover you." Mindy said without hesitation.

"it is good."

At this time, there was no need to give in to each other. Everyone was very straightforward and got on the plane one after another.

Finally, only Mindy was left. She controlled a large-scale nuclear energy explosion from the persona, knocking back most of the shadows around her, and then turned around and boarded the plane.

When Lucas saw Mindy coming up, he directly pulled the trigger, and the plane immediately took off.

Gwen looked at the ruby ​​in her arms, "Wilson's body is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, we have obtained the secret treasure."

"I'm so exhausted..." Mindy collapsed in the back seat.

Once separated from the adrenaline-filled battle, a strong sense of fatigue swept over her. Even Mindy was unable to deal with a large range of enemies at high intensity for a long time.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the ruby ​​​​in Gwen's arms, "Is it okay to just take the secret treasure?"

"That's right, we..."

"Careful!" Peter shouted suddenly, his Spider-Sense frantically hugging the policeman.

The moment he finished speaking, the plane shook violently. This time, everyone floated up from their positions and hit the upper wall hard.

"There's... sizzling... stuff on my... sizzling... feet..." Hope's intermittent voice came from the radio.

"I'll go check it out!" Peter opened the door and was about to check under the plane when he bumped into Wilson.

"You don't think you can escape, do you?" A majestic voice echoed through the sky.

It turned out that in Wilson's water monster form, he had a lot of mechanical tentacles. He grabbed Hope and pulled him down hard, causing the unsuspecting Phantom Thieves to suffer.

"Still...sizz...are you okay...sizz...?" Hope's voice became more and more unstable, "I...sizz...is almost...sizz...can't hold on... Zizzi...it's..."

"what?!"

Everyone who could barely hear what Hope said was shocked, "Wait a minute!"

But it was obviously too late. Hope, who was already exhausted, could no longer maintain the shape of the plane under Wilson's sneak attack.

Before everyone could fully react, everything was empty beneath them. Although they had not yet flown very high, they were still at an altitude of 100 meters. Below were Wilson and the lake. When they were free falling from such high ground, they were hit by Wilson's tentacles. Even if he didn't die, half his life would have been lost.

To make matters worse, the accident made Gwen let go of her hand holding the secret treasure in fright. The ruby ​​​​the size of a man's head fell in the air, was caught by Wilson's tentacles, and shrank to an unknown place.

"Wait! Secret treasure!" Even if Gwen reacted quickly, it was already too late.

Fighting with Wilson is unavoidable, but the top priority now is to save his own life first.

"blast!"

At this critical moment, Lucas took Hope in his arms, summoned his mask with the properties of the wind, hung up the strong wind, and controlled the balance in the air.

He looked at Gwen who was screaming, "Gwen! Remember to use your persona after we fall into the water!"

"Ahhh! Let's talk about it then!!!"

Peter, on the other hand, had his own ideas. He was already familiar with the feeling of weightlessness. He calmly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the spider silk launcher underneath, and looked sharply at Wilson's huge body.

Just when he was about to take action, Peter felt the hem of his clothes being pulled. He looked back and saw that Mindy was tugging at the hem of his clothes tightly.

"Whatever you want to do, take me with you!" Mindy said.

"It's very dangerous..." Peter said helplessly, "And weren't you already very tired just now?"

"I have strength now!" Mindy said quickly, "Anyway, take me with you!"

Peter glanced at Gwen's position and saw that Lucas was nearby. He turned back with relief and looked at the girl who was so excited when it came to fighting, "Wouldn't it be nice to be with Gwen and the others?"

"No!" Mindy urged, "If we don't take action, we will fall!"

"puff"

The acceleration of gravity sank Gwen under the surface of the sea in an instant.

She struggled to open her eyes and look at the sea. She paddled up on her hands and feet. Oxygen bubbles came out of her nose. She had to reach the surface before the oxygen was exhausted.

"Um...I...I'm very sorry." Hope apologized immediately after opening her eyes.

"It's okay, you'll be fine." Lucas lay on the base of Wilson's tentacles. There was still a lot of algae attached to the smooth metal, which made Lucas' infiltration work very difficult.

"What are you doing now..." Hope asked doubtfully.

"Go inside this monster and find out what's going on." Lucas said seriously.

"Huh?" Hope flew to Lucas's shoulder. Although he no longer had the physical strength to fly for a long time, he was still fine with just landing firmly on Lucas's shoulder.

Lucas continued to dig deeper, and sure enough he found numerous drainage holes in the roots. The true identity of this monster that looked like a water monster was a mechanical creation, and the real Wilson controlled the mechanical water monster inside.

"No wonder there were so many shadows at that time!" Hope suddenly realized, "It turns out they are all hidden inside!"

When he saw Lucas getting into the drain alone, he quickly said: "Wait, Lucas, do you want to go in alone? Where are Peter and the others?"

"Someone has to restrain Wilson so that he can't notice me." Lucas explained. He turned his head and looked at Hope, "And I'm not alone. Aren't you here too?"

"It's true..." Hope was silent for a few seconds, "But now I may not have the strength to fight."

"It's okay, even so, you still have something you can do, right?"

Lucas' words cheered up Hope, "Since you said so, I have to work hard."

"Well, I believe you."

Following the wet drainage hole, Lucas entered a sealed cabin. The door was tightly closed and there was no possibility of opening it from the inside. He knocked on the wall again. It was very strong and it was impossible to break through by force.

On the surface it seems impeccable, but...

Lucas squinted his eyes and turned on Eagle Eye. In the Eagle Eye state, weak points will be highlighted, for example...

He raised his head and saw that there was also a drainage hole above, but it was much smaller than the large drainage hole he had drilled in, and it seemed that it could not be passed by humans.

Lucas looked at Hope silently, "It seems that the place for your help is coming soon."

Mindy was clinging to Wilson's body outside. She encountered the same problem as Lucas before. This guy had been under the water for who knows how long. The surface was covered with a layer of algae, which was really slippery.

"I told you before." Peter stood firmly beside her, as if his soles were glued, "Just leave this place to me."

"Damn it!" Mindy said unwillingly.

She also knew that in this situation, she would not be able to be used, but she was just a little unwilling.

"Anyway, before Wilson finds out, go down and make peace with Lucas and the others." Peter said.

"Ants."

A low voice sounded from above their heads, and both Mindy and Peter's expressions changed.

"Let go!" Peter said as he shot out a thread of spider silk and swung it to the other side.

After he left, a tentacle whipped hard where they were just now.

Peter anxiously checked Mindy's position and was relieved when he found that she had let go of her hand and was falling downwards.

During the close contact, Peter also discovered something was wrong. Not only the tentacles, but also the huge body seemed to be made of metal.

Although Wilson discovered Peter on his body, he was unable to do anything about the little bug jumping on his body, because compared to his tentacles, Peter was too flexible, and the existence of spider sense made Peter invincible. .

"Nasty bugs," Wilson said irritably.

The secret door hidden on his body opened again, and the shadows clinging to his body like geckos poured out.

"Sure enough..." Before Peter could think too much, the spider sense that kept alarming told him that you didn't have time to think.

He turned his head sideways, and a wind blade slashed across his face, and a streak of blood slowly flowed down.

Peter looked at the many shadows approaching him step by step and summoned his persona.

"Knight Gawain."

Just when Peter thought he was going to fight alone, a cold air hit the shadows.

Gwen and Mindy stood on the condensed icicles, and the lake around Wilson was completely frozen by Gwen. After falling into the water, Gwen did nothing.

"What?!" Wilson also discovered this. He tried to move his body, but solid ice and water flow were two different things. There was no sharp ice-breaking structure, and the arc surface rubbed against the ice, making a tooth-wrenching squeaking sound. It was difficult to Imagine how Gwen could achieve such a strong frozen cage in such a short time.

Now the man unable to move has become Wilson, and the identities of hunter and prey are instantly reversed.

Peter looked at the two people waving to him and raised his lips, but he soon discovered that one person was missing.

"Where's Self?" Peter asked.

"Huh? Isn't he with you?" Gwen asked in surprise.

"Not at all, I've been with Cobweb from the beginning." Mindy said with a frown.

"I saw Self and Hawk together before..." Gwen said.

They knew that Lucas and Hope would never leave the palace alone, so where are they now?

"The movement just now was so loud, so many shadows ran out." Hope, who lost the ability to fight and simply acted as a camera, said.

"It should be Peter and the others who made the noise." Lucas walked carefully in the deserted corridor.

This mechanical water monster is unexpectedly large, and its structure is also very... arbitrary, with no rules visible. Lucas inside feels like he is in a huge maze.

However, fortunately, the companions outside attracted all Wilson's attention, and the inside felt empty, allowing Lucas an opportunity to take advantage.
