Eradication

Night fell.

Outside the camp of the Grede Bandit Gang.

As seasoned criminals, they were very vigilant and set up checkpoints on the perimeter.

The campfire gradually died down, and the cries of the Gaoso women disappeared amidst the bandits' curses and whippings.

Under the light of the moon and planets, all was quiet on the plain, and many bandits had fallen into a deep sleep.

Sulu glanced at the sentries still on duty but did not act immediately.

With his passive ability [Agile Footwork LV1], he could easily sneak up and carry out a throat-slitting assassination without making a sound.

But he didn't move; he simply lay still on the ground, his soul momentarily leaving his body.

In an instant, a multitude of colorful Mind Secret Realm appeared before him.

Most of them were orbs of light from ordinary people, except for a small floating island and a terrifying entity several times larger next to it.

"One Tier 1, one Tier 3, and nine elite gunners around them... If we attack head-on, Geri and I have absolutely no chance of winning."

Sulu smiled and approached a gunman's orb of light.

The Spirit World enters the second layer, infiltrating the mind, and its purpose is certainly not as simple as just stealing memories.

He entered the mind of a gunman, and a terrifying Spirit Pressure descended.

Given his current rank, the mental defenses of ordinary people are practically made of paper.

In an instant, the palace and guards in front of him vanished, revealing a man with a terrified expression.

Sulu stepped forward, grabbed him by the neck, and asked him a question, to which the other man immediately answered.

From this man named ' Baal ', Sulu learned a lot about the Grede Bandit Gang, including the numerous atrocities he had committed, enough to warrant being hanged several times over.

"Dissipate..."

After doing all this, Sulu did not leave. A Spirit Chain appeared in his hand, and a pale, sharp cone pierced directly into Baal's chest.

Without any resistance, the core of this subconscious mind exploded into fragments.

Sulu snorted coldly and left the secret realm.

In the Mind World, he reached out and squeezed hard.

The secret realm representing Baal's Mind Secret Realm has also fallen into destruction.

"If a person's soul is destroyed, what's left? Just a lump of flesh and blood!"

This means that, in reality, Baal has become a vegetable and will never wake up.

"As expected... destruction is much easier than construction, but unfortunately I lack experience... ordinary people can no longer provide me with experience points."

Sulu then manipulated the minds of several other bandits, turning them into vegetative states one by one.

This ability to harm people silently is almost indistinguishable from that of vengeful ghosts.

Furthermore, people in a vegetative state are not truly dead, and since they are still asleep, no changes are visible to the outside world.

"This is the true terror of ghosts... unseen, even unperceptible, yet capable of harming or even killing!"

After taking down eight bandits, Sulu turned his attention to the floating island of first-tier professionals.

"With my current abilities, I can't destroy such a secret realm, but I can inflict deep damage on it... After taking him down, only Iron Fist Russ and that Sentinel will remain."

With that thought, Sulu's soul returned to his body, and he said to Geri beside him, "It's ready... I'll take out that sentinel in a bit, let's proceed according to plan!"

"OK!"

Geri drew her gun and calmly answered.

For some reason, she trusted Sulu so much that she agreed to this somewhat crazy plan.

Isn't it insane enough for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 professional to challenge a Tier 3 expert?

"Alright... let's begin! Three, two, one!"

Sulu gave the signal, then instantly Soul Projection, destroying the Sentinel's Mind Secret Realm.

In reality, Geri was stunned to see the bandit on guard let out a muffled groan, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Go!"

Seeing this, she no longer hesitated, mounted her horse, and charged towards the bandit camp.

Tap tap!

Tap tap!

The sound of horses' hooves tore through the night sky, shattering the previous tranquility.

Chaos erupted in the camp, with cries from several Gaoso female slaves rang out.

This time, however, no bandits came to silence them with whips.

"What happened?"

The nominal leader of the team, a first-tier professional, stood up, kicked his companion next to him, and was shocked to find that the other party seemed to be dead, lying on the ground unable to get up.

"Enemy attack!!!"

He roared and found that the bandits around him were doing the same, and a chill ran down his spine.

What exactly is it, or what ability, that can silently eliminate so many people?

But he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

A terrible feeling began to spread from his heart.

"Someone... someone is invading my mind!"

He screamed in terror.

The next moment, he clutched his head and screamed in agony.

Although Sulu couldn't completely destroy the Mind Secret Realm of a first-tier professional, he could still cause some damage!

In reality, this manifests as the victim's soul being traumatized, with screams being the least of their worries.

Bang!

Geri stormed into the camp as if it were empty, encountering no resistance whatsoever.

Seeing this, she didn't hesitate any longer and fired a shot at the professional!

Bang!

The other person was shot in the head and fell straight down.

At such close range, and with the enemy offering no resistance or evasion, it's easier than shooting a turkey!

'What Sulu said... is all true.'

Geri was slightly lost in thought, but without the slightest hesitation, she pulled on the reins, turned, and ran!

Sulu had told her that there was a third-tier [Brawler] lurking in this team!

Damn it!

All of this happened in a matter of seconds. It wasn't until Geri shot the professional in the head that Russ got up somewhere in the camp and let out a roar.

He was indeed hiding within the group, trying to catch the little bug the leader had mentioned.

But it was unimaginable that these little insects possessed such a bizarre ability, silently eliminating most of his men.

And that useless captain was shot in the head by a woman.

Upon realizing this, he immediately chose to lie low, intending to strike when the other party was off guard and kill them instantly.

But the woman seemed to have known all along that he was lying in ambush nearby; after killing him, she turned and left.

They just ran away like that!

How can this be tolerated?

Russ roared and gave chase.

His short sprint speed was astonishing; he swept past the professional's corpse in just a few steps and caught up with Geri.

"He really is a Tier 3 professional!"

Geri was drenched in cold sweat and lashed the White Horse hard with her whip.

Having an information advantage is one of those benefits.

Knowing that the opponent is a [Brawler] with no ranged abilities, it's enough to just guard against sniper shots.

Bang!

In an instant, a gunshot rang out in the night.

It was Sulu who saw Geri lure Russ out and immediately opened fire.

But in that instant, Russ seemed to sense some danger, and his figure flashed and retreated, leaving a bullet hole in his feet.
