Bizarre Realm-Chapter 183 - 19: One Against Two! Slaying the Clan!
"Turned into an evil spirit?!"
In an instant, Shawn raised his hand and a mind spike burst forth.
A piercing howl of ghostly wailing resounded.
The evil spirit with two heads lunged at Shawn, the two heads crowded together as if they wanted to gnaw on something, but before it could get close, it was blocked by a force field shield in front of Shawn. The force field protection barrier was capable of stopping incorporeal beings, including the suddenly transformed evil spirit before him.
— Mind Spike! (Spell Ascension Ring)
Boom.
As if a black firework exploded, the evil spirit transformed from the night witch instantly detonated on the spot, its entire mind shattered.
A cold glint flashed through the air!
In that moment, Shawn seemed to sense something; his five senses extended into the future by one second. He seemed to see a hideous, ferocious fly-man lunging out from his shadow, a cold blade directly stabbing at his heart.
Roll to evade.
Without hesitation, Shawn lunged forward into a roll. As a monstrous figure emerged from his shadow, he pulled out a short-barreled shotgun out of nowhere, but instead of turning to shoot himself, he tossed it up. The Invisible Hand instantly caught it, and with Shawn’s back to the enemy, the Invisible Hand pulled the trigger.
The monster’s eyes showed a look of disbelief!
Boom!
In a blast of blood, the monster was blown backward.
Throughout the entire process, Shawn never looked back. The counterattack was completely led by the Invisible Hand. The agility of the Wanderer Path was terrifying; Shawn absolutely couldn’t enter the enemy’s kill range. Within three meters, a Wanderer Path enemy could slit your throat at any moment.
The monster’s life force was so resilient, even after being shot point-blank, it could still flap its fly-like wings on its back, lunging straight toward Shawn again.
No way should the wizard be given time to cast a spell.
Strange black spikes sliced through the air, seemingly part of its body, bursting forth with the powerful penetrating force of crossbow bolts upon activation.
Shield Skill.
Energy Shift Force Field.
Spiritual Armor.
The triple force field shield on Shawn’s body was mostly penetrated in an instant. However, before breaking through these shields, Shawn’s five senses extended into the future by one second and made the most accurate response.
— Dimensional Jump.
Shawn’s figure abruptly disappeared, reappearing ten meters away, directly evading the enemy’s fierce thrust.
"High-tier Wanderer Path monster!"
Shawn’s expression was extremely serious. Having complete invisibility, it could traverse shadows and appear in an enemy’s shadow. It was even more troublesome than the Lady of the House he first encountered. This monster was at least one tier above Shawn, exceeding him by five extraordinary levels, with combat power approaching that of a Death Pilgrim.
If not for initially killing Screamer-Bader, Shawn’s situation would be extremely dangerous right now.
The insect-transformed body’s explosive power was too strong! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Even a Death Pilgrim didn’t have this insect’s explosive power, as the human body has certain limitations, making it a more flexible, balanced overall capability.
Shawn instantly drew his gun and fired, and in the midst of dense gunfire, greenish-black blood splattered from the enemy’s body.
Yet it still didn’t die; its life force was tenacious as that of a bug.
He even suspected this monster had Legendary Robustness!
Because offspring of the Ancient Race’s bloodline often inherited abilities that only legendary creatures possessed.
Shawn calculated the distance, and before the enemy could flap its wings and lunge over, he pulled out a grenade, pulled the pin, and tossed it to the Invisible Hand. This monster could swiftly leap over more than ten meters in a short distance and also perform shadow traversal. He couldn’t afford much delay, as he couldn’t guard against when the enemy might appear in his shadow.
Bang!
An explosion sounded behind Shawn, and the fly-like monster’s head was directly blown open, with more than half of it disappearing, leaving only the twitching remnants of its corpse. Greenish-black blood gushed forth.
Time reversed by one second.
At the moment of the enemy’s rush, it weirdly vanished, then reappeared behind Shawn, traversing into his shadow.
This was a feint to confuse Shawn. Its real goal was still shadow traversal, launching an attack directly from within the shadow rather than advancing head-on to face the storm of bullets.
At the same time, Shawn anticipated the enemy’s attack. A grenade was about to explode, and the Invisible Hand, holding the grenade, delivered it straight to the enemy’s face.
In a muffled explosion.
Shawn was knocked back, with the energy shift force field blocking the explosion’s shrapnel, the spiritual armor blocking the impact of the explosion, and defense prediction determining the position for being least injured while dodging.
Shawn landed lightly injured, while the monster had most of its head blown off.
This close-range explosion, the triple force field shield directly absorbed the vast majority of damage for Shawn. What seemed like a mutual destruction only left him with minor injuries.
— Damage Transfer (Second Ring Spell).
Shawn stood up, a flicker of spiritual light appearing, transferring the wound on his abdomen to his hand’s back. Now, he didn’t even have a minor injury.
Against two foes!
Shawn successfully killed a same-tier evil demon, a high-tier aberration with Ancient Race blood.
In this moment, he was a bit surprised at his own growth, considering he didn’t even trigger Death Retrospect this time; throughout the fight, he remained as composed and calm as when meditating, as if with a heart free of external distractions.
If not for consuming so much magic power beforehand, Shawn would have been even more at ease in this battle.
"Loot!?"
As if he suddenly recalled something, the previously calm and composed Shawn hurriedly jogged over the next second. "It didn’t get blown up, did it?"
The previous explosion was so powerful that even curios might not withstand it.
It’s quite common for curios to be destroyed in combat.
The stuff from the Fire Burning Demon was indeed useful, just a bit expensive. The explosion trap just now at least had the power of a Fourth Ring spell, but the downside was that it required the Invisible Servant to actively detonate, otherwise it might not hit anyone.
If that Wanderer approached, the explosion trap would surely be discovered.
Of course, you could let the Invisible Servant stand on it to detonate when the enemy disarms the trap, but it’s generally a cumbersome process.
The Casting Path allows for self-study of alchemy, making curio crafting part of general knowledge, but Shawn’s promotion was relatively late, so he hasn’t had time to learn yet.
He plans to revisit that Alchemy Path Fire Burning Demon.
