191. Just in Time
"It's done!"
Sulu looked at the five Thaumaturgy Card in front of him, each bearing a flame emblem on its front, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Among them, there are three offensive ' Fireball, and one ' Fire Ring ' and one ' Flame Hand ', which are special abilities of the [Unburnt]. The former forms a circle of fire defense around the user, while the latter applies a layer of fire to the hand for attack.
"There seems to be something wrong here!"
Sulu toyed with the ' Flame Hand ' Thaumaturgy Card: "I don't have the [Unburnt]'s high fire resistance trait. Kings can turn himself into a fire spirit, but I can't... There's a problem with ability synergy, but overall, the effect is still quite good!"
Before the legends, each professional had their strengths and weaknesses due to choosing different career paths.
If countered, it is still possible to complete challenges against opponents of higher levels.
Using only a Tier 2 deck, Sulu is confident he can challenge some Tier 3 enemies.
If the abilities of the third tier are sealed and targeted accordingly, it is not impossible to directly confront a master-level professional of the fourth tier.
"The offensive spells have been collected; next up are the binding spells... Of course, it would be even better if we could capture a Mage who knows ' Flight '..."
Sulu emerged from Kings's Mind Secret Realm with a slight sense of regret.
With his departure, the island's brilliance dimmed considerably.
Clearly, having so much power drained at once would leave even a second-tier superhuman in a very weakened state.
I'm afraid that by tomorrow morning, Kings will be in trouble even if he can set off a small flame.
While recovery can be achieved through rest and meditation, it will almost certainly cause panic.
But what can you do when someone is a wild superhuman? At most, you can only keep your distance.
"While there's still time... we can go hunting one more time."
Sulu wandered through the Mind World, searching for his next 'prey'.
He swiftly traversed region after region, searching for suitable prey in numerous Mind Secret Realm to complete the task of sealing the cards.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Suddenly!
Boom!
The area ahead trembled violently, and many secret realms were instantly shattered.
"What... what happened that caused so many people to die at once, and their Mind Secret Realm naturally collapsed as a result..."
Sulu's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that something serious had happened ahead.
His spirit immediately fell into the first layer of the Phantom Spirit World.
This place is separated from the real world by a layer, yet it realistically reflects the geography of the real world, serving as a buffer.
At that moment, he could see a newsstand in front of him suddenly shatter, and many wild spirits scattered and fled.
"This is..."
Sulu thought for a moment, then returned to the real world.
Boom!
His spirit had just begun to emerge when a piece of shrapnel grazed his face, slicing past him from the side.
Explosions, shouts, and gunfire... the noise was deafening and incessant, making Sulu feel as if he had entered a battlefield.
That's indeed the case.
He was on a street, and was now surrounded by agents from the Bureau 11 in black trench coats.
They were all well-equipped and were besieging a monster that was trapped within their encirclement.
The monster appeared to have just crawled out of the sewers, its body still covered in sewage and other garbage. At its core was a wide-open eyeball, from which countless thick tentacles extended outwards.
"This is... the Flesh Polluter? No wonder the gathering warned against accepting the quest..."
Sensing the other party's 'rank', Sulu's expression turned solemn.
In his perception, this Flesh Polluter was almost comparable to a third-tier transcendent!
Furthermore, their vitality is terrifying.
"Quickly... seal off this area!"
"Be careful of its eyes; they emit an evil light!"
"It is highly contaminating and should not come into direct contact with the tentacles or slime!"
"Use fire!"
Although there was some initial chaos, the agents of the Bureau 11 quickly regained control of the situation and used a flamethrower shaped like a duck's bill to restrain the monster.
In the end, although the monster raged and brandished its fiery tentacles, taking the lives of several agents, it was reduced to ashes.
"Statistics on casualties... Damn it, what's going on lately?"
A one-eyed captain from the Bureau 11 was visibly exasperated. "Why... are there more and more monsters in the East District sewers? We can't seem to get rid of them no matter how hard we try!"
"This isn't just a lingering effect of the last disaster... According to the Strategic Decision Group's analysis, it's likely due to the sheer number of deaths during the last catastrophe, which attracted other unknown entities..."
Another agent sighed.
"A task force must be immediately formed to enter the worst-hit East District sewer system to investigate everything and, if necessary, destroy the source... Nia City cannot afford another disaster..."
"One-Eyed Dragon said slowly.
'So... the security situation in the East District has become this dire? The Flesh Polluter... weren't created by the Demon?'
Sulu listened in from the side and found it very useful, gaining a lot of information.
"Wait a minute... I feel like something's not right!"
Just then, the One-Eyed Dragon suddenly looked at a Iron Fist- shaped amulet on his body—it was emitting a faint glow.
His expression changed drastically, and he pulled down the black eye patch, revealing an eye with only the white of the eye showing.
But then, the fake eye shifted and fixed its gaze on Sulu: "A spirit is spying on us!"
They came out this time specifically to deal with the Flesh Polluter, and their heavy firepower was very strong, but their preparations for the Spirit World creatures were not very sufficient.
Even so, a group of people planned to use talismans to forcibly separate the Soul Projection from the body in order to capture Sulu.
"Goodbye!"
Without a second thought, Sulu leaped into the second level of the Mind World.
Each level of the Mind World is a different world.
At this point, the Federation and Green Tree Castle's research only provided them with some understanding of the Phantom Spirit World.
Compared to a high-ranking Spirit World Walker like myself, they have absolutely no power to restrain me.
As long as you don't actively enter the core research areas of large laboratories or other restricted areas, traveling through the Mind World is quite convenient and safe.
"Such vigilance suggests that this isn't a confused spirit, but rather a spirit professional!"
Watching Sulu's spirit disappear, the One-Eyed Dragon rolled his eyes, then finally put on his eyepatch. "Record it in the file!"
"Yes, sir!"
Several agents beside him immediately saluted.
"Nia City... is becoming increasingly chaotic, but it is definitely not a paradise for superhumans!"
The One-Eyed Dragon man donned a trench coat and walked alone into the darkness. "I'm giving you three days. You must capture this spirit professional... Otherwise, I'll send you all to the most remote desert island as liaisons. You can try and see if I can do it!"
After he left, the remaining agents exchanged glances, their faces filled with bitterness.
