Method of Comprehending Vision and Deduction
"[Method of Comprehending Vision and Deduction]? What a strange name..."
As Lin Yu listened to Nian introduce himself, he couldn't help but inwardly grumble.
Judging from the name alone, this thing seems like some kind of Item used for "information gathering".
However, since Nian is using it as a trump card in the battle at this moment, it will probably greatly help to improve his immediate Combat Power.
Moreover, judging from its appearance, this thing seems to enhance some of Twenty's abilities.
However, as a Rakshasa, Lin Yu couldn't show his thoughts despite having considered many things.
Seeing the golden eyes that had appeared, he simply raised his head, appearing even more interested.
"That's really interesting!"
"Visitor from another world, you certainly haven't disappointed me—I've never seen such methods in the Black Marsh World."
As Lin Yu spoke, his giant axe and fist slammed down towards Twenty!
It's okay if you can't observe it...
Once you launch an attack, you'll naturally see what this [Item] does!
The giant axe cleaved down, the fist slammed down!
If that attack had landed properly, it would have been enough to turn the pork belly into a fine, even minced meat.
And in that split second when the slightest misstep could have meant certain death, Twenty moved.
This time, it was less a spontaneous action and more like being pulled along by those golden threads.
His movements were bizarre and abnormal; he pulled out an Item with his backhand and threw it out while it was enveloped in Nightmare Substance.
After traveling a distance, the Nightmare Substance stuck to the trunk of a tree.
Moments later, the Nightmare Substance stuck to the tree trunk exploded!
To be precise...
The [Item] wrapped in the Nightmare Substance exploded!
"Boom!"
The explosion wasn't large; it just happened to snap some of the nearby trees.
The thick tree trunk was blown away by the explosion and hit Lin Yu's calf!
"Bang!"
Although the trees were smashed to pieces, they successfully disrupted Lin Yu's balance.
He took a step forward to steady himself, but suddenly felt his arm lose its balance again!
The black, Nightmare Substance from the trees splattered from the explosion and stuck to his arm!
The substance had just seeped directly into his skin, making Lin Yu's hand seem to have lost control as well.
These two loss of control and balance caused Lin Yu's fist and giant axe to deviate!
"Bang!"
After the two attacks landed, Nian took a step back.
The attack missed its target!
The ground shook again.
This time, even closer to the center than before, Nymph simply leaned back.
In the instant the tremor struck, a rock leaped up from behind him and hit him in the back.
Then, using the stone as leverage, Nian straightened up.
After this round of attacks, not only did the Twenty-Many emerge unscathed...
Even the earlier disheveled state was gone.
He stood up straight, even having the strength to fight back!
In his hand, there appeared an Item shaped like a "Goat Skull".
He lifted the enormous skull with one hand, and it burst into crimson flames before floating in mid-air!
Old Zheng's voice rang out.
"Be careful, that thing is the remains of a monster from 'Night Valley'... it should be a 'Goat Demon'!"
"I don't know what this thing is used for, but the Goat Demon's abilities mainly involve creating something like marsh gas, causing corrosion and explosions... The explosive he just threw out was probably also a creation of the Goat Demon."
As Old Zheng spoke rapidly, the enormous Goat Skull launched its attack.
"Gah--"
Its mouth opened wide, spewing out a blood-red gas that looked extremely dangerous.
The gases did not disperse; instead, they gathered and condensed in front of its mouth, gradually becoming larger and larger.
About two seconds later, the spherical cloud of air, which had gathered to the size of a stone pier, flew towards Lin Yu's direction.
And the skull of the Goat Demon's remains immediately created new clouds of gas!
In just a few dozen seconds, more than ten scarlet clouds flew toward Lin Yu!
After listening to Old Zheng's introduction, Lin Yu dared not underestimate these air masses, which were not very large for his current size. So he simply waved his palm to fan away the air masses as if swatting away mosquitoes.
But...
The moment Lin Yu reached out to fan the air, these air masses did indeed retreat slightly.
However, not long after they started retreating, the two air masses at the very back collided with each other, seemingly breaking the critical threshold and shattering the balance, and exploded!
"Boom!"
The successive, dense explosions generated shockwaves that even caused Lin Yu, who was moving in the form of a "Rakshasa," to take a step back as if he had been overturned.
Because the explosions started from the very back, each shockwave cleverly pushed the air masses back towards Lin Yu!
A scorching, foul-smelling blast of air hit him, sticking to his skin and causing Lin Yu intense pain.
This stuff is indeed corrosive!
The final burst of air exploded right near Lin Yu's head, causing severe injuries to his neck and face.
Damn it!
This thing caused Lin Yu a lot of trouble.
Lin Yu immediately launched a counterattack after the explosion!
He turned around, uprooted a tree, and threw it at the golden light that had gathered in the air!
After all...
Although the trouble was caused by the goat's head spewing unidentified marsh gas, Lin Yu knew very well that the most dangerous thing was the [Method of Comprehending Vision and Deduction] in the sky!
He could sense that if it were just a simple remains of a Goat Demon, it probably wouldn't be this troublesome—after all, judging from Nian's actions just now, this thing had friendly fire.
In other words, even 20 is not immune to the damage caused by the explosion and corrosion of these scarlet gases!
This thing is only being brought out now, so it can probably only be used safely and to its fullest potential if one has their own [Exclusive item]!
Based on the current situation compiled by Lin Yu, the effect of [Method of Comprehending Vision and Deduction] should be, in a sense, "deduce the cause from the result".
All Nymph needs to do is imagine the "outcome" he wants, and then that will deduce what kind of behavior he should take.
So, when I attacked just now, instead of dodging, he threw out explosives.
When the shock of the attack nearly caused her to lose her balance, Nian actually leaned backward on her own!
This kind of counterintuitive behavior is absolutely not something a normal person would do.
The same goes for the remains of this Goat Demon... Under normal circumstances, the gases it releases should be drifting randomly!
However, the existence of [the Method of Comprehending Vision and Deduction] allows Nian to calculate their movement rules.
"Therefore, the name itself, and the eye in the sky, are also a hint..."
"Collecting all the information within a region and then deriving all the results—it's practically creating Laplace's Demon that only works within a specific range!"
