The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 397: Use dreams as a cage
——It was an overwhelming mass of dead souls.
If we only talk about the number, the number of spiritual bodies that the Spirit-bearing Monk can control at the same time is actually not that many.
After all, it is a "spirit bearing monk", not a "dead soul army leader", nor a "spiritual exorcist".
The professional characteristic of the Spirit-bearing Monk is that he has an extraordinary connection with the spirit body he enslaves——
——Boom!
Spell volley.
The wizards whose minds had been replaced launched attacks on a large giant spirit body at different times and with different spells. These spells require different chanting times, preparation times, and projectile speeds. Naturally, the wizards’ positions and targets are also different...
However, under Denton's control, one could see that the spirit's movements were imprisoned by words, and then almost instantly, a strange magnetic force captured it on the ground like a fishing net and pinned it to the ground, and then pulled it out. The biting cold that rose from the ground and frosted its entire body made it vulnerable.
There are six spirits imprisoned in this way by multiple spells, divine spells and supernatural abilities. And they were gathered in a very small area at the same time, with no more than five steps between them.
What followed was the finishing move of a silver-level destruction wizard—an ordinary-looking orange-red fireball that crossed the parabola like a thrown basketball and slowly fell.
Those who intercepted the fireball attacks were directly deflected and teleported away by the command wizard.
As the fireball slowly landed in the middle of the spirit body, it suddenly began to shrink like a twitch, and its color quickly turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye——
Then, it exploded!
Hurricane blast——
The shock wave that spread out instantly shattered the people around it, but it only echoed in a very small space within a radius of five meters, as if it was blocked by an invisible cover. It vibrated repeatedly inside, making the earth creak. Cracked, heaving. The powerful spiritual body inside also disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Unimaginable heat seeped out from inside the sphere, burning the ground into lava. The fire waves in the air expanded and roared, roaring out, silently roasting the people around them into pitch-black crispy charcoal.
For those who were a little further away, scalded blisters appeared on their skin.
But they were fearless and continued to surge forward.
Wielding weapons blessed by idol wizards or ritual masters, he faced the spirits without fear.
Nearly twenty people die at the hands of the spirit army every second.
And the number of people who died in the hands of their own people was far more than this number - even the most useless, weak and sick ordinary people could be used to block knives and resist Bernardino's spells.
However, under Denton's ruthless and precise operation like a top real-time strategy player, he ensured that the priority sacrifice was always the part with the lowest combat effectiveness.
Wizards, ritualists, hunters, secret troops. He has been accumulating troops that can effectively cause damage to spiritual bodies, which makes him have more and more power at hand.
The number exceeds hundreds.
The number is nearly a thousand.
Even if a thousand people stood together, it would be a dark sea of people. It is difficult to resist alone, let alone face it... Not to mention, they are scattered around with Bernardino as the center, hiding behind the exorcism bunker created by the ritualist, carrying out methodical, stable and surging attacks like a wave. On the offensive.
Under this offensive, the spirit body around Bernardino could not even launch an offensive.
It is even difficult for them to leave Bernardino's side - because the stalkers and hunters hiding in the dark are always staring at Bernardino's head.
This is a force that is difficult to resist.
This is the power of "group".
——This is the power of the new soul-stealing wizard!
Immortal old man!
Feeling that his fearless puppet army was constantly coming from all over the capital, Dream Stealer Denton felt a great sense of pleasure.
It doesn't matter even if his identity is exposed... Margaret is already dead, and there is no value for him to stay here.
Rather, he suppressed his power and hid his abilities for too long——
Too long!
But at this moment, Bernardino just chuckled.
"Do you know why I am...attacking at this time?"
He made an ugly, monster-like hoarse sound.
Collapsed in the wheelchair, his face wrapped in bandages was slightly raised.
The rune in his multi-faceted sapphire right eye suddenly began to change violently.
Subsequently, each section lit up in turn - in the superposition of light and light, an extremely intense light emerged from his right eye.
In every aspect, a spirit body emerges.
"Dusk... is almost here."
As Bernardino chuckled like a crow, hundreds of powerful spirits emerged from his right eye.
And his left eye, the extremely high-quality chrysoberyl cat eye the size of an eyeball, also burst out with brilliant turquoise light.
The straight and even bright golden vertical eyeliner in the middle of the cat's eye stone emerged from his eyes. Appeared in front of him as a bright golden beam of light.
Then, the light beam spread to both sides, like a door suddenly opening.
The moment everyone in front of him was illuminated by this light, all of them suddenly fell to the ground without exception - their spiritual bodies were stripped away in the blink of an eye, and more than seventy new spiritual bodies appeared around them. Pulling the white chain around him, he was arrested and instantly dragged into his right eye.
At this moment, dusk finally comes——
In Bernardino's right eye, more than seventy powerful spirits that had just been incorporated roared out again.
Every spirit body is equivalent to an extraordinary person who lacks the weaknesses of the physical body and can use almost unlimited extraordinary power without worrying about corruption.
With nearly two hundred spirit bodies joining the battlefield, and the souls of more than four hundred people being captured, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.
Denton's face suddenly turned ugly.
——He was fooled.
He did not dare to read Bernardino's mind or interfere with Bernardino's memory because he was worried that Bernardino's elemental power was related to this.
The element with the highest degree of awakening in him is "dream", which is not an element that can easily gain an advantage in a spiritual battle.
If he couldn't gain the upper hand in the battle of elements, he wouldn't dare read Bernardino's mind... It's entirely possible that the opponent would use the power of elements to set an ambush in his mind, and follow the trend, ignoring physics. Distance directly obliterates one's soul.
But he never expected that Bernardino was too old to fight normally.
His elements awakened to the limit. The soul is too weak to dare to use the power of elements at will.
That’s why he attacks at this time——
Because at sunset, the wizard can instantly restore all the power of distortion.
——This is a stupid technique that only low-level wizards at the end of their rope would use!
He is waiting for him to gather the extraordinary beings...
I plan to use double the power of distortion to turn my advantage into his advantage in one fell swoop!
He only uses his spirit body to attack, not because he is tentatively fighting himself, but because he has lost the ability to fight back with elements!
But Denton has always been intimidated by this and gave up his greatest advantage.
"I'm so... stupid."
Denton gritted his teeth and spoke forcefully in a low voice.
His pupils instantly turned into two empty, dark abyss, and he raised his right hand forward.
In the world that turned into darkness, the fire of his will traveled through countless light groups like lightning, and in the blink of an eye it entered Bernardino's mind that was burning with pitch black flames.
Countless memory fragments appeared in Denton's eyes.
Like the firing of many guns.
But as a skilled soul-stealing wizard, he completely ignored this level of resistance.
He turned into an incorporeal flame and avoided the impact of the memory stream; he also flew up and down skillfully, avoiding many illusory crystal-like walls. ~IndoMTL.com~ Then, his ice blue figure outlined with lines finally emerged in the depths of Bernardino's memory.
"Elements of dreams——"
He chanted in a low voice, raised his right hand and pressed it forward, just like his actions outside the dream: "Use the dream as a cage, use me as a mirror...
"You are a prisoner——"
The ice-blue illusory flame trembled twice and spread from his skull. In the blink of an eye, his entire right arm was ignited with ice-blue blazing fire.
And in this firelight, his right hand seemed to push open a heavy door - in the illusory creaking sound, the burning elements of the dream led Denton directly into Bernardino's memory the deepest part.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around.
This seems to be... somewhere in a fishing village in the United Kingdom.
