Chapter 40 -36: Thrilling Coincidence
The dark curtain in the farewell hall had supernatural properties, swallowing all light sources. Even an extraordinary person would become a blind person if they fell into it.
However, as an extraordinary person specializing in the Shadow System, Zhou Yuan was unaffected, seamlessly adapting to the darkness. Although he used a [One-Time Attribute Disguise Scroll] to adjust his attributes, the minor physical changes brought by Dark Vision due to Aoneng Power would not be negated by the item.
Zhou Yuan glanced around. The others had not escaped the illusion and were still crying in fear, entirely unaware of what was happening in the farewell hall.
But the extraordinary persons had already taken action the moment the dark curtain descended.
“Ha, playing shadows in front of our Holy Crow Church?” A female extraordinary person from the Holy Crow Church scoffed lightly and snapped her fingers.
Nothing happened.
“Eh?” She was stunned.
“It’s multiple barriers!” Jiang Wuming shouted, “Stop trying to dispel them, just cast the Dark Blessing Skill on us!”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Multiple barriers meant that there were one or several protective barriers in place to protect the main barrier.
Instead of wasting time trying to dispel each barrier, it was better to cast a Dark Blessing Skill directly, giving everyone Dark Vision.
The female extraordinary person from the Holy Crow Church was about to cast a spell when she saw a member of the Land of Truth pull out a rocket launcher from behind and pull the trigger towards her.
“RPG!” She screamed in horror, abandoning her spell and turning into a shadow, narrowly dodging the incoming rocket.
BOOM!
The rocket exploded, shaking the entire farewell hall. The noise was deafening, and the shockwave spread out, but no fire erupted.
The explosion affected the ordinary people on the ground, but they were not killed. At the moment they were wounded, runes surfaced around them like armor, protecting them. It seemed to be some kind of protective spell.
The combat between extraordinary persons was extremely dangerous. If ordinary people got involved, it would mean either death or severe injury. Since the Control Bureau had dared to act in such a place, they had obviously made adequate preparations.
“I’ll cover you.”
An extraordinary person from the Mechanical God Cult ignored the darkness and rushed directly to the Land of Truth member holding the rocket launcher, engaging in close combat. The opponent was also a cybernetically augmented person and immediately threw away the launcher, swinging an iron fist in response.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Along with sharp friction sounds, the sound of steel clashing continuously echoed, and powerful gusts spread out.
After a few rounds, the cybernetically augmented person from the Land of Truth realized something was wrong: “How do you know my intentions so well?”
His attacks were constantly being predicted, as if his mind were being read!
“This is Cyber Martial Arts: Mind’s Eye.”
The extraordinary person from the Mechanical God Cult said indifferently, “Kid, you’ve got a long way to go on the Cyber path.
Your spending on enhancements isn’t enough!”
The special implants he had spent a fortune on allowed him to scan the enemy’s position directly, not needing to use his eyes. He could even interpret minute muscle changes to gain insightful analysis and instantly grasp their intentions.
This skill was known as the “Mind’s Eye.” Cultivators might have a chance to comprehend it over long periods of cultivation, but members of the Mechanical Church simply needed to install a small device.
Mechanical ascension, kid!
At this moment, other extraordinary persons also showcased their divine skills, making moves despite the blindness debuff, attacking members of the Land of Truth and other organizations. Of course, some extraordinary persons without the capability to act simply stood their ground, defending themselves and waiting for an opportunity.
The members of the Land of Truth and other organizations had no intention of lingering in the fight, fleeing in all directions. Their purpose for coming this time was only to confirm the whereabouts of “that thing.” Now that the mission was accomplished, their sole goal was to escape.
In fact, all the factions knew it was a likely trap with little chance of return, but they still sent people. The probability of “that thing” being on ordinary people was less than ten percent, but they couldn’t take that gamble.
After all, it was a level 5 abnormal item, level 5! Missing out would lead to endless regret.
“Raven, bestow upon them the blessings of the night.”
The female extraordinary person from the Holy Crow Church finally cast the Dark Blessing Skill under cover, granting their extraordinary persons Dark Vision.
Upon seeing in the dark, the extraordinary persons on the outskirts of the battlefield immediately joined the fray.
Instantly, the intensity of the battle surged, with incomprehensible extraordinary abilities intertwining and clashing, akin to a battle of gods.
“I’ll keep pretending.”
Zhou Yuan clutched his head, letting out a terrified scream and trembling again.
He had no intention of sneaking in with his Dark Vision. Any action that could expose him now was out of the question. Once this ordeal was over, there would be no need to live in constant fear, so why take the risk?
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a non-human mad roar erupted.
Zhou Yuan glanced over quietly, his heart instantly alarmed.
Somehow, the people from the Land of Truth had summoned a nearly five-meter-tall demon bear!
The demon bear stood upright, its body filled with exaggerated muscles, standing like a wall of demonic flesh, exuding a suffocating oppressive aura.
With a ferocious swipe, its overwhelming strength sent the nearest extraordinary person flying into the wall, vomiting blood, unable to rise again.
This extraordinary person did not die but was severely wounded because Jiang Wuming was still alive, benefiting from his strange curse. As long as he did not die, no one would die.
