Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 409 Swaying
As the black mist began to dissipate, Nochard's heart tightened. This black mist was a spell cast by Zheng Zha using vampire energy, called the Dark Cage, which came from the Necronomicon in "Legend of the Gods and Demons," but it was a shielding spell that did not distinguish between friend and foe.

Nochard's advantage lies in his Fog Lens, which greatly enhances his vision within the black fog... meaning that while the Central Continent Team cannot see him, he can see them. Simultaneously, the mental energy turbulence provided by Amya allows him to better evade the opponent's mental energy detection.

The turbulent flow of mental energy is more like a channeling than a creation of the mental energy controller. Amya, possessing this skill, can channel the target's mental energy outwards, causing it to dissipate in a chaotic manner. While a mental energy controller would be greatly hindered by this channeling, the other team members would not be affected, as they do not rely on projecting their mental energy for combat.

If Nochard was previously a single point under mental detection, now he's a vast, scattered tangled mess, difficult to pinpoint precisely... and gives the illusion of a mental shield. Rather than a mental shielding skill, it's more accurate to call it deception.

With the addition of several other real mental energy shields that Amy created before leaving, the combination of illusion and reality would make it difficult for even the hidden mental energy controller of the Central Continent Team to find the location.
This is what the Demon Team members think.

As the black mist began to dissipate, Nochard became increasingly nervous. He was a sniper, and his attack power was indeed terrifying; probably no one below the fourth rank could withstand him. However, he also had many weaknesses, and the fewer environmental advantages he had, the more dangerous he became.

Reaching for his spare spatial scroll, Nochard gritted his teeth and switched to a spatial sealing bullet. This bullet, however, was a C-grade consumable, its function being to create spatial disorder in the area of ​​impact, causing space to shatter and seal itself off. Those spatial fragments were enough to instantly kill a person with a fragile body, but that was just the tip of the iceberg; the three-minute spatial seal was its true terror!
Nochard was also informed of the arrangements made by the Umbrella Corporation. He naturally knew the purpose of the Nine-Bend Blood River Array guided by Peng Qiu's body and blood essence... That's right, the amplified Dark Cage was just a cover; its real purpose was to provide an energy source for the charged shrinking explosives.

This formation is also extremely dangerous within the Shu Mountain Sect. First, it relies on the blood and qi of countless dead, which is against the natural order. Second, the caster must personally use their own body and essence to draw upon it, ultimately rapidly gathering the demonic energy between heaven and earth—what they call negative energy. Although its function differs from the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation, it is still an extremely terrifying formation.

"Looks like it's not very useful... Bah, those old fogies were just playing tricks, weren't they? They said it's best to use it sparingly, that it's bad for one's character, but it'll be broken right away, won't it?" Nochard cursed inwardly as the dark cage dissipated, and he was the most anxious of all.

Even if Chu Xuan said it was a ruse, the problem is that this ruse was actually useful to Nochard!

“Never mind, Chu Xuan said that if the setup is broken, he will use the spatial sealing bomb directly…” Nochard took a breath. Although he had various invisibility methods using technology, magic, and mental power, he still did not have the habit of breathing heavily. “According to his formula, the opponent has a fourth-level expert. Even without spatial abilities, he can be at least a minute and a half faster… Tsk, we have to hurry.”

The magazine containing the space-blocking bullet also contains two other bullets specifically designed for killing, and these will not break the space-blocking mechanism... This way, I still have enough time to escape.

"I guess I've completed my mission and returned to the Main God Space. Chu Xuan can't blame me..." Nochard glanced further into the distance, where the sounds of violent collisions could still be heard even here. It was the battlefield between the two Zheng Zha. "It feels like the battle is about to end. I wonder if the captain can win."

Although Nochard doesn't have any items to shield against negative scores, running back offers a glimmer of hope. What if Chu Xuan uses some kind of scheme to kill most of the Central Continent team members? With their savings, they might survive. But staying here means certain death.

Another thing that worried Nochard was the spatial scrolls… Magic scrolls in the God Realm weren't guaranteed to work just because you bought them. Many powerful scrolls required enhancement with magical feats to be fully effective, and of course, this also depended on the universe the scroll came from. Random spatial teleportation scrolls had this requirement. As a non-magical user, Nochard could only guarantee success the first time he used one each day; after that, there was a chance of failure, and the more times he succeeded, the more likely he was to fail the next time… The worst part was that if he failed, the scroll he bought from the God Realm through a side quest was directly consumed.

"It really hurts..." Nochard knew that spending so many consumables in the high-intensity battle against the Central Continent Team was a small matter, but his heart was still bleeding.

Seeing François and Frodo walking in this direction, Nochard did not rush to pull the trigger... This method might be useful for ordinary snipers, but his first step was spatial blockade, and he didn't need to pay any attention to these two prisoners.

Once Nochard found the best position, he immediately pulled the trigger. A shot rang out, and a silver bullet shot through the air, almost instantly striking the Central Continent Team's layers of barriers. However, the bullet didn't even hit the barriers; upon impact, it shattered, turning into countless silver fragments that flew everywhere.

These silver fragments were like butterflies, dazzling and melodious... but as soon as they passed by, black cracks appeared in the air and then enveloped the Central Continent Team.

Zhang Jie frowned; he immediately realized the problem… No, what was being cut open wasn't air, but space!

If it weren't for the layers upon layers of energy barriers, the team members with slightly weaker physical bodies might have been directly cut apart by the shattered space... Firstly, their protective shields required them to be aware that this kind of attack was harmful, and secondly, the protective shields couldn't block attacks of this level!

Liu Xi immediately shouted urgently through the mental chain, "Zero, shoot him immediately, use your Fangzheng Demon Eye!" At the same time, the world in her eyes began to change, the shattered space in front of the Central Continent team was further distorted, and the illogical connections were randomly linked together.

Before the words were even finished, a grayish-brown beam pierced through the energy barrier that was fighting against the spatial fragments, through the distorted spatial distance, through the person in front of it, and directly struck Zhu Wen.

Nochard fired a shot, glancing at the unfolded scroll, unsure if it would be successful… Although he had been exposed, given his position, there was no reason for the enemy sniper to hit him immediately. After hitting Zhu Wen with his first shot, he immediately turned his gun on Zhan Lan, and, unsure of her exact strength, he activated his Demon Eye.

The next bullet was still a grayish-brown one... a D-grade special sniper bullet called Swaying, which is said to have come from the same branch of the World Tree as the Eternal Spear Gungnir.

Its effect is... to ignore all obstacles in front of the target!
