Necromancer's Second-Original Chat Group

This place also became a battleground between Rhodes Island and Reunion. Reunion deployed its most elite combat personnel here, while Rhodes Island fielded an all-elite team of operators, and the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides became apparent.

Rhodes Island operators are resolute in carrying out orders and have an extremely high level of organization. While it may not be accurate to say that every single one of them is exceptionally strong in combat, their high level of organization is itself a form of combat power. Under Virtue's command, the battlefield was quickly divided into more and smaller areas, and each area was within Rhodes Island's advantageous range. She had a thorough understanding of the characteristics of each operator, which translated into seamless teamwork at the command level.

For example, Virtue suddenly ordered operators to fire at a wall. After the fire started, Reunion members who happened to be passing by were riddled with bullets. The reason these people were passing by was because they were on their way to reinforce a friendly team that had been surrounded by Rhodes Island. Instead, they were ambushed and their reinforcements were caught in the crossfire.

Behind this squad was the Reunion Movement's mortar squad. As the vanguard was eliminated, a gap was opened in the mortar squad's protective defenses, and Rhodes Island's operators immediately rushed in and eliminated them.

In fact, in this series of battles, Virtue's initial target was the enemy's mortar squad, which was one of the few long-range armed forces in the Reunion Movement that could immediately exert combat power. Naturally, it was under layers of protection. However, after Virtue's repeated maneuvers, the enemy began to follow her rhythm. The defense line was peeled away layer by layer like an onion. By the time the innermost core of the onion reacted, the knife was already at its head.

Rhodes Island's team got better and better at the game, and the better they got, the more they trusted the Doctor's command, thus creating a virtuous cycle.

But Virtue didn't let up. The beads of sweat on her forehead were proof of that. High-intensity micro-management is extremely taxing on anyone, especially in complex battlefield environments, because there are more details to consider, and all of these need to be processed quickly in the commander's mind.

Unfortunately, the battlefield environment at this time was the most deadly kind of urban warfare, which was truly terrifying.

The temperature and breathability regulation of the doctor's uniform played a significant role at this moment, and the auxiliary mental enhancement Originium Arts allowed Veltin to quickly adjust his state and devote himself to the more intense and unpredictable mission.

That's a really good feature; you should consider adding it.

But at that moment, several screams suddenly came from afar. Immediately afterward, the black area began to spread. Kal'tsit shouted into the communication channel, "Everyone, retreat! Retreat outside the black area! Now!"

Kal'tsit then said to Virtin, "It's Ursus's inner defender. It seems that a victory without paying any price is impossible."

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge creature detached from Kal'tsit's back, transforming into a ferocious and terrifying monster in Virtue's shocked gaze.

Mon3ter, Kal'tsit's parasitic summon.

At the same time, Rosemary, who was acting as the doctor's bodyguard and had not participated in the illumination, and Da Di Di Huang also entered combat stance, preparing to meet the inner guard's attack.

There's no good way to deal with an inside defender; you can only go head-to-head.

Verjiang stared at the inner guards of the expanded domain on the screen, pondering the next battle plan.

Can this kind of realm be broken through using mystical rituals?

As an unconventional high-achieving student in school, Veltin's level of occultism can only be described as passable, far from being comparable to sonnets. However, as a true intellectual worker, Veltin's favorite pastime is reading. He has read many books and memorized their contents. There are also similar methods of using fields in occultism. The most typical example is the black field that Arcana used in his battle against Vanchi (a name Veltin gave based on appearance).

Although it was being suppressed by Wan Qi's Death Domain and howling in pain, once the domain was deployed, its characteristics were to enhance the user's own combat power and restrict the enemy's power.

The ideal situation would be to use both, but the power of the inner guards is obtained from non-human demons through inhuman means. Therefore, there is a safety threshold when the inner guards use this power. Once this threshold is exceeded, the inner guards' power will go out of control and they will suffer a backlash from the demons.

According to Rhodes Island's records, the existence of demons is extremely troublesome. Don't be fooled by how quickly Wan Qi eliminated them; that's because they possess power from beyond the world, allowing them to nullify all of their opponents' characteristics from a higher dimension. If Wan Qi were placed in the SCP universe, all special methods except for direct confrontation would be ineffective against him. The more wondrous the power at the law level, the faster one would die when facing him. He belongs to the most incorrigible and unacceptable existence in the world of supernatural legends.

It's like everyone is a game character in a computer, but Wanqi's special move is to unplug the power, remove the battery, or even cut off the power. If he's still not happy, he can also remove the hard drive and smash the computer.

What's the point of playing then?!

Therefore, the best course of action is to completely disintegrate the defense on the spot, leaving nothing but absolute nothingness.

Wait, absolutely not, I have a solution!

"I am the Doctor. Now, proceed according to my instructions. Don't worry, we can defeat the internal defenses!"

Veltin's words were like a shot in the arm, instantly stabilizing the morale of Rhodes Island. Although Kal'tsit didn't know what Veltin was going to do, she still chose to trust her judgment.

At this moment, Veltin looked at Amiya beside him.

"Amiya, you are the most skilled at mental manipulation among everyone, so you need to remember every word I say from now on, understand?"

"Yes, Doctor!"

The inner guard, who had expanded his domain, began to move forward slowly. He couldn't run at this point, but that didn't matter. The inner guard within the domain was invincible, and he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

A crossbow bolt was fired from outside the domain toward the inner guard, but it was slowed down the moment it entered the domain. By the time it reached the inner guard, the bolt was almost suspended in place, with no killing power whatsoever.

At that moment, the guard raised his hand and activated an Originium Arts technique in the direction from which the crossbow bolts were flying.

A loud bang was heard, and the scene looked as if it had been hit by a 155mm howitzer.

Fortunately, the operators there had already been relocated, and the enemy's bombing was in vain.

However, the guards were blocking the entrance, preventing anyone from getting in. If anyone wanted to climb the tower and explain the situation to Talulah, they would first have to get rid of the guards.

A barrage of attacks came at the inner guard, but the domain rendered these attacks ineffective. If it were Dio, he would definitely be shouting "Muda Muda Muda" right now, showing off his absolute power and the aura of a villainous savior.

However, the inner guard is a silent guardian. He doesn't waste words; he's there simply to complete his mission, then quietly stands guard until the next mission arrives.

Just then, some strange characters and patterns appeared around the inner guards. These things appeared abruptly, clearly indicating that something was wrong. The inner guards did not hold back and launched an attack directly.

He destroyed the characters and patterns, but his own attack was also deflected back.

Is it some kind of passive counterattack Originium Arts? It doesn't seem like the Great Yan's magic style. Be careful.

The inner guards viewed this deployment as a tactic, but any tactic must face the harshest reality: a tactic that cannot effectively harm the inner guards is ineffective. Even if it can inflict effective damage, but cannot neutralize the demonic power after the inner guards' deaths, it is still a failed tactic.

From this perspective, the inner guard is like a moving humanoid dirty bomb; anyone who goes up against him is considered to have failed.

Of course, to achieve this level of sophistication, the production process of the inner guards came at a huge cost. They didn't even have human forms; the sealed clothing contained only wisps of black mist. Even their instinctive breathing habits had to be filtered.

Everyone else's gas masks are for filtering out external dangers, but the internal guards' gas masks are for filtering out their own habitual breathing. Because they no longer have physical bodies, the idealistic nature of the demonic forces makes them feel that they still need to breathe, and this habit is engraved on their instincts, making it difficult to separate and change.

So, in a sense, that breathing apparatus was their last connection to the world, and their liberation came when they vanished along with that equipment.

"Declare this place as Ursus territory!"

The area expanded slightly, and three Rhodes Island operators who couldn't dodge in time were caught in it, instantly becoming victims of the Guards' blades. The Guards were the most elite warriors, skilled in both melee and ranged combat.

At that moment, the inner guard realized that he seemed to have enveloped something strange within his domain.

They were segments of characters and patterns, imbued with a faint but tenacious vitality. At this moment, these characters and patterns seemed to come alive, all rushing towards the inner defenses, completely unaffected by the domain.

The guard was shocked for the first time. He swung his sword to parry the attacks, and then more similar attacks came from all around.

The offensive appeared quite ferocious, but the guards quickly discovered that these attacks did little to harm them.

If I still have a physical body, should this be considered a kind of massage?

This is absolutely insulting! What kind of bullshit attack is this? Are they playing house?!

The guard was furious, but at the same time, he felt a sense of disdain.

It seems the enemy has run out of options and can only use this kind of attack to buy time. Fine, since you like playing this childish game, then I'll show you what game over really means.

The inner guard held his sword horizontally in front of him, then dispelled his domain. This time, he intended to crush his enemy with the purest form of combat.

Then he was shocked to find that he couldn't move at all, because his body had been bound by countless glowing ropes, trapping him in place.

What kind of power is this?!

Section 69: This little box is your permanent home

(10,000-word update achieved! All are long chapters, will there be monthly tickets and bullet comments? (**3*))

The inner guard had fallen into a trap. Under normal circumstances, he would have noticed, but this advanced system and Originium Arts belong to completely different systems. You can't rely on the naked eye to observe radar waves, nor can you use radar waves as a camera. This absolute disadvantage in intelligence led the inner guard into the trap.

If it were Wan Qi, it wouldn't be like that, because he usually wraps his entire body in a mental shield, and he can observe any movement that is not part of the natural environment. Therefore, he is also the type of enemy that mystics hate the most. He enjoys all the positive effects, but is not affected by any negative effects. He can also use these to track and locate users, no matter where you are, unless you can stay in another world like him.

One-way full image transparency is a valid condition.

If he were a mystic, he would understand from his life experience that this was the preliminary work for mystical arts, and would decisively defend or intervene. But the inner guard was not, so he fell for it. It's that simple.

The simpler and more direct a method is, the more difficult it is to defend against, especially when there is a lack of prior information.

Terra doesn't lack information about arcane magic; in fact, they have absolutely no information.

"Now's the time! Let's do it!"

At Virdin's command, Amiya and Rosemary simultaneously activated the arcane spell—Return to Nothingness.

As the name suggests, this thing works exactly like the annihilation of matter and antimatter upon collision, making you disappear completely.

It is said that a mystic who observes celestial bodies accidentally discovered the phenomenon of black holes and used this as inspiration to develop this mystical art, whose power should not be underestimated.

Generally, the reproduction of mystic arts requires a specific bloodline, but returning to nothingness is a very rare mystic art without bloodline support, which can be activated as long as the ritual is completed.

The only problem is that the preparation process is very complicated.

It's not that no one has tried to simplify such an intricate and mysterious ritual, but they have all failed.

Therefore, the main purpose of this mysterious technique is to demonstrate the laws of celestial motion to students in the laboratory.

But this doesn't mean it's not destructive enough. In fact, the destructive power of "Return to Nothingness" is quite strong. It's just that it's very difficult to execute successfully under normal circumstances. There are more ways to interfere with it than the unethical things the US government has done. Basically, anyone who knows a little bit about mysticism won't fall for it.

Coincidentally, the inner guard doesn't know any mystical arts at all.

Therefore, all the preliminary preparations for this ritual were completed smoothly. Especially after the inner guard encountered a defensive counterattack spell, he was even more careful with these symbols and patterns, and thus gradually walked into the trap that had been carefully woven for him.

"So that's how it is. It's a technique from another world. No wonder the guards were fooled."

Kal'tsit, with her extensive knowledge, immediately recognized that the arcane arts were not a derivative of Originium Arts, and she also understood the principle behind the inner guards being affected. It has to be said that the suddenness brought about by cross-world knowledge is indeed very tricky.

However, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to master mystical arts. Only individuals with strong mental strength, such as Amiya and Rosemary, can do it. This is because strong mental strength also means strong memory, which allows them to easily remember complex ritual procedures and then reproduce them, turning mystical arts, which were originally used as teaching materials in laboratories, into deadly techniques for silencing witnesses.

Although the guard didn't understand arcane magic, he knew he had stepped into a dangerous trap and began to struggle desperately. Unfortunately, it was too late. Before the Return to Nothingness was activated, its effects could be easily neutralized by disrupting it, but once activated, everyone had to stay away from its effective range. In fact, the range of Return to Nothingness was very small. Amiya and Rosemary had drawn an area with a radius of twenty meters, but the actual area where it took effect was only a pitiful half meter in the center. In other words, even if the guard moved half a meter outward, outside the range of Return to Nothingness, the arcane ritual would become nothing more than a circus act.

This is why Virtue used the operators' attacks to guide him forward; now the die is cast.

"ended."

Veltin's declaration was a judgment on the death of the inner guard. In the blink of an eye, this high-level combatant of the Ursus Empire vanished without a trace, leaving nothing behind.

The Rhodes Island operators stared in disbelief at the scene, rubbing their eyes hard to make sure they weren't deaf.

Such a big internal guard, suddenly... gone?

"Get into the control tower, quick!"

At Virtue's command, Chen Sir charged in as the vanguard, followed closely by the other operators. Just then, a huge explosion occurred on the tower, and Rosemary caught a falling figure.

"Cough cough cough, it hurts so much! This is a monster."

W got up and spat out a mouthful of blood. She had just wanted to blow Talulah half to pieces, but all that explosives had no effect. Instead, she almost got sliced ​​into mincemeat.

"Welcome back to Rhodes Island, W."

W looked at Kal'tsit and said unhappily, "Old woman, when did I ever say I was joining Rhodes Island?"

Kal'tsit didn't respond, but instead said to Virtue, "Doctor, this is a mercenary from Rhodes Island who has infiltrated the Reunion Movement. She's an operator you can command. You can call her W."

"Hey! Don't make decisions on your own."

"Hello, W, welcome back. I need your strength now. Can you help us?"

"...Wait, you...never mind, it's not impossible."

W naturally realized that the person in front of him was not the Doctor at all, but since the other party could speak unexpectedly, it wouldn't hurt to help. In any case, he was going to settle accounts with Talulah anyway, so he wouldn't lose out either way.

It's not that I want to help, hmph!

"Okay, then, can you tell me what's inside?"

Just as W was informing Wilting about the situation inside the control tower, the battle between Vanchi and the Patriots was also coming to an end.

The old man truly risked everything as a warrior, including his own life, but his biggest problem was his endurance; these overexertion bursts were always very short-lived.

What's more, Wan Qi also cleverly planted mines during his fight with him.

Setting up formations is a basic skill for mages. The best magic array masters can even complete the deployment of magic arrays during battle. As a prisoner in the Red Sea for millions of years, Wan Qi has enough time to hone his magic skills to a high level.

Mental and soul magic are exceptions, because his only reference and torment object is positive. At first, he could create an effect similar to tearing his own soul to pieces, but as time went by, his soul became more and more resilient and solid. Later, Wan Qi himself could not tear his own soul apart even with all his strength. The same was true for mental power. However, the Red Sea's confinement gave him an infinite number of opportunities to resurrect and try again.

Thus, an individual with a resilient soul and powerful mental strength, who was theoretically impossible to create, was born.

What are the benefits of having strong mental power? Even if you guess correctly... I can't give you the answer. This is a no-prize quiz.

On the surface, Wanqi and Patriot were locked in a fierce battle, but this was all to draw the other's attention. In the shadows, Wanqi's magic hand was very busy, deploying one ritual after another. These small and large rituals were linked together, forming a structure similar to Russian nesting dolls.

If it were discovered at the beginning, it could still be sabotaged. However, as more and more of these smaller rituals are deployed, they become substitutes for each other. As long as more than one-third of them are not destroyed at once, the entire ritual can still be launched.

And what Wanqi wants is now!

Magic circle, magician killer ritual, structural destruction.

This magic circle's effect is to destroy other magic circles. The moment it completes the destruction, it also collapses. It is a standard targeted magic, and this type of magic is also known as "magician killer".

The founder of this type of magic, "Thrillton Kashudis Bibida," thus became a milestone in the history of magic development.

Because his early life had absolutely nothing to do with magic, and he wasn't even a magician.

No one knows why he went down this path, but when he died, at least four figures of magicians were confirmed to have died at his hands, at the hands of this "mortal".

This is the origin of the title "Mage Killer." The magic that ordinary people can use, which targets mages, derived from his system, is also collectively known as "Mage Killer."

Fun fact: Thuringon Cashudis Bibida is a mathematical genius in the magical world. He's the kind of person whose problem-solving approach on the college entrance exam is so brilliant that the examiners would almost give him an extra 50 points.

Therefore, a high-IQ killer must have a high IQ.
