Bizarre Realm-Chapter 194 - 23: Second Form! Combat Mage! (Part 3)
However, the most important thing right now is the assassination mission.
Undoubtedly, the presence of a Ring Spirit’s Flying Dragon is enough to make the entire Crowman settlement tense, because it’s too realistic—it can be heard, smelled, and even Shawn simulated the sound of the dragon flying through the air, just like playing a movie in the brain.
——Flying Skill.
Before enhancing the stealth ability, first flying and then invisibility are Shawn’s best methods for stealth.
This time, Shawn closed the distance.
The Ring Spirit’s Flying Dragon attracted most of the Crowmen, with their attention fully focused on the illusion, Shawn began calculating the casting range while locking onto the enemy’s position. This time, his mission goal is to decapitate, even foregoing the spoils, all external factors must not interfere with the surgical blade-like assassination mission.
Four Invisible Hands extended out, but they weren’t equipped with weapons. Shawn wanted to test the force field capability in real combat, to see if some violent aesthetics from the East in his previous life could be realized.
He still remembered how Lady Hecate used sixteen Invisible Hands to brutally suppress an Ancient Evil!
——Triple Gravity Field Shield.
——Defense Prediction.
——Wild Power.
——Fox’s Cunning.
After finishing a set of augmentation spells, Shawn immediately applied Invisibility Technique to himself.
At this moment, the Crowman Priest appeared in the view, his attention completely captivated by the Ring Spirit’s Flying Dragon in the sky. However, he dared not act recklessly, because the pressure from the enemy was too intense. The ground illusions might be destroyed by tentative attacks from the enemy, but those flying above were more useful, although they would be discovered sooner or later.
"It’s now!"
Shawn’s figure soared through the air, locking onto his target in an instant, deploying Shadow Black Tentacles to trap enemies within a fifteen-meter diameter, followed by a massive Fireball Technique descending from the sky.
Boom!
A muffled explosion erupted among the crowd of monsters.
Dense black tentacles extended from the ground, trees, and houses, entwining every target within range, preventing them from escaping this area.
Amidst the chaos.
Shawn directly canceled the augmentation of the Flying Skill, his body rapidly plummeting from the sky.
"Do you remember that move coming down from the sky?"
At this moment, Shawn maintained unprecedented calm, his brain operating at full throttle, he could even sense faint silver-white spiritual light emerging from his brain. From a biological standpoint, his brain had surpassed the scope of ordinary humans during its ascension.
——Invisible Hand (Spell Ascension Ring)!
Four ghostly Invisible Hands extended from Shawn’s back, initially possessing only the power of ordinary humans. As Shawn’s intelligence strengthened and Extraordinary Level increased, their power attributes grew stronger.
Although they couldn’t violently suppress ancient evil like Lady Hecate, Shawn’s Invisible Hands still possessed attributes close to Extraordinary Power.
If the power of a normal human hand is 10 points, then under Shawn’s intelligence augmentation, the power of the Invisible Hands increased to 15 points, and combined with his Extraordinary Level, the power of the Invisible Hands after Spell Ascension Ring ranged between 19-20, equivalent to a strong Beastman Warrior. (After the Specialized Spell Ascension Ring, it consumes Fifth Ring Spell Magic Power.)
Crack!
Amidst the rampant flames, a clear palm print emerged on a Raven Guard’s forehead, with a crack appearing on the skull, and before it could comprehend where the attack came from, it died.
It’s impossible for Shawn to execute some Eastern techniques from his previous life with his own physique and strength attributes unable to cause sufficient damage.
But the Invisible Hands can; they are strong enough, flexible enough, hidden enough, and can be controlled through thought and imagination.
Which means, any move imagined within the mind, the Invisible Hands can perform!
Shawn’s body rapidly plunged, with four Invisible Hands extending five meters outward under his Spiritual Vision, giant hands descending from the sky, the near 20-point Extraordinary Power smashing a Raven Guard’s skull in one slap!
Before, Shawn rarely ascended the Invisible Hands, because firearms didn’t require strong power.
Now, he needed to test the Force Field Hand in real combat, requiring a power boost, and more importantly, the enemy couldn’t see the Invisible Hands, those without strong intuition would struggle to predict the attack direction of the Invisible Hands.
In close combat, the Invisible Hands without any weapons is the optimal solution!
Holding weapons, the enemy can predict the attack. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
——Dimensional Jump.
Less than half a meter above the ground, Shawn’s figure abruptly disappeared, directly flashing in front of the Crowman Priest.
The current activity diameter of the Invisible Hands is about five meters. In the instant descending from the sky, Shawn killed the guards beside the Crowman Priest, first bound by Shadow Black Tentacles, then severely injured by the Fireball Technique, and each Invisible Hand finished them off with a headshot.
Combat Mages rely on Force Field Hands; their bodies do not support high-intensity close-range explosions, unless casting Transformation Technique.
——Blast Flame Technique!
Chaotic flames spread in all directions, although a 2-ring spell, its power exceeded most higher ring spells, its biggest drawback was indiscriminate between friend and foe.
The whole process was instantaneous!
By the time the enemy reacted, Shawn had already advanced to the side of the Crowman Priest, the quickest assassination path being from the sky, relying on other methods made it difficult to advance close to the Crowman leader with numerous guards.
This was also a shred of inspiration Shawn once found while playing games; given his physical condition, only descending from the sky presented a chance.
Whiz!
Blow darts swiftly shot towards where Shawn was.
——Triple Gravity Field Shield!
Boom!
A Hand-Held Thunder emerged, with a muffled explosion sound, Shawn’s figure was repelled by the shockwave, the body of the Crowman Priest was blasted riddled with holes, flipping up upon landing, executing a 1-ring ’Grease Underfoot’, his speed burst in a straight line, four Invisible Hands forcibly pushed down nearby enemies, carving a bloody path of escape.
The Triple Gravity Field Shield was barely holding!
By the time the enemy reacted, Shawn would be heavily surrounded.
——Dimensional Jump.
Shawn’s figure flickered, disappearing into the darkness, without even having time to apply Mirror Image Technique, a Flying Skill withdrew from the battlefield, the Invisibility Technique faded into the dark, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Decapitation successful!
The entire battle process was less than a minute and a half. Shawn operated like a heartless killing machine, maintaining a spell frequency of several seconds in a state akin to ’Mechanical Mind’, ultimately succeeding in escape.
He only took thirty seconds to decapitate the enemy; the remaining minute was spent escaping.
The only regret was not claiming any Extraordinary Relics, unable to allow even the slightest distraction during the fight.
My spoils!
It wasn’t until he escaped unscathed that Shawn had time to feel deeply regretful.
