"Damn it, this is so shameless!" Lorry's pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

I used two Sealed Artifact to finally kill two Elemental Creature with strength comparable to Sequence 7, only to find out they were just consumables?

He sighed silently, knowing he had to find a way to solve this problem.

Otherwise, we'll definitely be worn down and die here!

Lorry's mind raced as he quickly devised a plan.

He quickly came up with an idea!

You used to be a "Shaman," so you were very powerful in your own territory, right? Fine, let's change the battlefield and fight somewhere else!

Lorry raised his gun and fired, attempting to interrupt the summons.

"Ridiculous!" Miles sneered repeatedly, freeing his left hand to quickly wave in front of him, chanting a spell to condense a smooth, mirror-like Ice Shield.

"Bang!"

The bullets struck the Ice Shield, barely creating a few fine cracks.

Upon seeing this, Lorry's heart sank.

I've seen other "Shaman" use similar spells, but I never expected that Miles could casually cast one and block the "Sure-Hit Revolver" attack.

You are indeed very strong now, but...

I'm not weak either!

With this thought in mind, Lorry pulled the trigger again.

"Bang!"

"Don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve? This move won't work on me!" Miles sneered, quickly repairing the Ice Shield and restoring it to its original state.

Lorry smiled calmly, "Is that so?"

Upon hearing Lorry's strange laughter, Miles immediately had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine; he realized something was wrong!

Although he heard gunshots, the Ice Shield was not hit by bullets.

The gunshots just now were an illusion!

Startled, Miles squinted and cautiously surveyed his surroundings, only to find everything normal and nothing out of the ordinary.

He frowned slightly and sneered:

"Such petty calculations are meaningless to me..."

Before he could finish saying "useless," he suddenly felt a tremendous force strike him from below. Looking down, he discovered that the attacker was none other than his own shadow!

Bang!

Miles was tackled and thrown hard by the shadow, feeling like his body was about to fall apart!

At the same time, the spell was forcibly interrupted, and the two nearly formed Elemental Creature collapsed suddenly. He also coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the backlash.

This is the "Shadow Servant"!

One of the six spells of "Calm Mask"!

It grants the Mask the ability to manipulate shadows; depending on the amount of Spirituality consumed, the Shadow Servant's power can reach Sequence 7 at its strongest.

Of course, Lorry did not waste his Spirituality in such a lavish way.

The Shadow Servant summoned earlier was only at Sequence 9 level; its purpose was simply to interrupt Miles's spellcasting.

Huff... Lorry exhaled forcefully, rubbing the White Bone Ring.

"Fear!"

As Miles was about to get up, a sudden, intense fear gripped him, as if he were facing an ancient dragon from a myth.

He instinctively wanted to lie on the ground Trembling, unable to muster the courage to resist.

Lorry's eyes flickered slightly. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he strode forward, grabbed Miles by the collar with one hand, and quickly stroked the White Bone Ring with the other.

"Teleportation!"

He wanted to take the other person away from his territory!

The two figures quickly blurred and appeared in a Wilderness Mountain in the Eastern Southern Suburbs.

Just as Lorry was about to plant Psychological Suggestion in Miles, he saw the other man suddenly open his eyes, his gaze icy, his expression venomous and Distortion.

Seeing this, he didn't hesitate to throw the other person heavily to the ground.

"Bang!"

Miles had just shaken off the effects of the "Fear" when he was thrown around so hard he was dizzy and seeing stars. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He quickly stood up and looked around. Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, his reaction was somewhat unexpected for Lorry, the Instigator, and he revealed a sinister smile:

"Is this your trump card against me?"

"You should know, I'm not just a ' Shaman,' I'm also a ' Painter '!"

As he spoke, he pulled out several sheets of drawing paper from his pocket, flipped through them quickly, grabbed one of them, and tossed it into the air.

Although it was raining heavily and the environment was dim.

But thanks to his exceptional eyesight, Lorry was able to clearly see the contents of the document.

On the drawing paper were several strangely shaped giant birds. They had no feet, their feathers were crimson, and they flowed with streaks of Red Light, as if they were Burning with Flames.

Lorry's heart stirred:

Is this a bizarre technique employed by the "Painter"?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he raised his hand and fired another shot without saying a word.

Unfortunately, the bullet from "The Sure-Hit Revolver" seemed to be affected by some unseen force, passing right through the center of the drawing without causing any damage.

"How could Real World bullets possibly harm them?" Miles chuckled sarcastically, then tossed out another sheet of drawing paper.

The Real World? Lorry frowned slightly.

Then he saw that the giant Flames bird on the drawing seemed to have come to life.

They flew off the drawing paper and into reality!

The Lieutenant Colonel was right; the Blessed's ability was indeed very strange... The "Painter" could actually bring the bizarre creatures in his paintings to life...

Lorry took a deep breath and temporarily put away the "Sure-Hit Revolver".

He has fired seven shots so far and must drink at least 700 ml of strong liquor within 24 hours, or he will suffer irreversible negative consequences.

Therefore, the use of this Sealed Artifact must be moderate.

In comparison, Exam are a minor matter.

With this thought in mind, Lorry quickly rubbed the White Bone Ring, releasing more than a dozen Wind Blade, which he concentrated on attacking the giant Flames bird in the middle.

"Wind Blade" is the ability of Sequence 6 "Wind-blessed".

Even if released through the "Curse of Knowledge," its power is only half that of the original, but it is still no weaker than the bullet from the "Sure-Hit Revolver."

Whoosh whoosh!

The Flames didn't seem to be very fast; even though it tried to dodge, it was still hit by a dense Wind Blade.

Its body shattered with a deafening roar, transforming into a sky full of flames.

His strength was probably around Sequence 7... Seeing this, Lorry breathed a slight sigh of relief. The strangeness of the "Painter's " ability did indeed make him a little wary.

But soon, his expression turned serious.

The scattered flames miraculously reformed into that giant Flames!

An unkillable Monster? Lorry calmly took seven or eight steps back, pretending to prepare to fight the three-headed Flames.

Then, it suddenly changed lanes and charged towards Miles.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

Unable to catch up, the giant Flames could only spew out fireballs the size of washbasins in an attempt to intercept Lorry, but without exception, they all missed.

This is a "Distortion" effect!

"I've been waiting for you..." Miles scoffed, then turned and ran.

A white shadow floated from his body and pounced on Lorry. During the flight, the shadow suddenly opened its mouth wide and let out a piercing Shriek.

Lorry, unable to avoid it, stood frozen in place, clutching his head in Affliction.

Upon seeing this, Miles, who had already run seven or eight steps, suddenly stopped, threw out another piece of drawing paper, and took a gleaming blade from the Weapon Rack inside.

He closed in on Lorry in the blink of an eye, using the speed of a "reporter".

Just as he was about to swing his knife, he saw Lorry's Affliction expression suddenly disappear, saw Lorry reveal a triumphant look in his eyes, and saw the corners of Lorry's mouth slightly turn up.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Miles gritted his teeth and thrust his knife forward.
