An utterly effortless battle
Then, Lorry tore off another Dark Gold page.
Three snaps.
Three black rings fell to the ground.
If Fors were here and saw this, she would definitely question her existence, "Huh? When did the ' Shadow Ring ' become a mass-produced item?"
Actually, this is not difficult for Lorry at all.
As the former owner of the "Shadow Ring," he only needed to expend a small amount of Spirituality to successfully conjure them in his mind.
And the Spirituality burden...
This wasn't a big problem for him, as he had mastered the "Spirituality Restoration" Charm.
"Lorry in the Painting," "Fors in the Painting," and "Xio in the Painting" quickly picked up the "Shadow Ring" from the ground and blended into the shadows.
At this moment, Lorry stroked the White Bone Ring, cast "Psychological Invisibility" on "Painter Lorry," and then entered another Dimension.
Use "the Xio in the Painting" as the arrow.
The three figures in the painting are arranged in a triangular formation, quickly stealthily moving into the depths of the Woods.
"Painter Lorry" was slightly behind, but had already entered combat mode to ensure he could launch an attack immediately.
Meanwhile, another Dimension.
"How was it?" Lorry asked with a smile. "Was I cautious enough?"
The air was deathly still.
"Old Gentleman?"
The air remained deathly still.
A moment later, he heard a long, disillusioned sigh:
"Kid, you, you..."
Sebastian Verne, residing in the White Bone Ring, hesitated for a long time before finally deciding what to say next.
As a clergy member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, he believed himself to be knowledgeable enough to fulfill the duty of "Teaching Students."
But he felt that his mind had been severely impacted.
Using the Fantasy Ability of the "Book of Dimensions," one can conjure up Illusions of oneself and Sealed Artifact; then, using these Illusions to create paintings, one can summon three figures within the paintings.
A scheme involving both deception and fraud—is this something a human could come up with?
Is this what you call being cautious?
Sebastian Verne desperately scoured his extensive Linguistics knowledge, trying to come up with a suitable word to describe this behavior.
He failed...
This is nothing... The Old Gentleman's mental fortitude is terrible... Lorry didn't get a response and silently grumbled to himself.
He drew inspiration from Altair.
Then it was improved and incorporated Fraud Elements from the "Marauder" Pathway.
In theory, if Lorry makes sufficient preparations in advance, he can make his enemies question their existence to some extent.
Anyway, if he put himself in their shoes, he definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.
You painstakingly kill one enemy, only to find another one has appeared; you finally manage to wipe out all the figures in the paintings, only to then kill the "Painter" who created them.
Then another "Painter" jumped out.
Moreover, the "Painter" was carrying a thick stack of paintings.
What utter Despair this must be!
"You can't kill them all, you can't possibly kill them all, tsk tsk..." Lorry glanced at the reclusive White Bone Ring, gathering his wandering thoughts.
We've reached the depths of the Woods.
A soft, puzzled exclamation suddenly rang out from the darkness.
Immediately, the air vibrated.
"Smack!"
A thick tree branch lashed out swiftly like a whip, leaving a trail of afterimages as it struck through the air.
The Xio in the Painting at the very front, unable to dodge, exploded like a balloon with a Explosion, turning into a sky full of light and shadow.
When painting it, "Painter Lorry" consumed the least amount of Spirituality, barely reaching Sequence 9, which was just enough to have the ability to use Sealed Artifact.
This is normal.
The Bait doesn't need to be too strong.
However, "Lorry in the Painting" and "Fors in the Painting" are different; their strength is that of a complete Sequence 7!
"Go!"
A flock of Fire Crows quickly gathered around "Fors in the Painting," and with a sharp shout from her, they split into two groups and flew forward in circles.
The firelight from the disc player dispelled the darkness.
The source of the anomaly deep in the Woods was exposed to Lorry for the first time.
Its trunk is nearly five meters tall and as thick as three people can hug. The bark is grayish-white and covered with deep wrinkles, like the skin of an old man.
In the very center of the trunk, the natural folds of the bark form an aged human face, with wide-open eyes and bristling hair, displaying a thunderous rage.
The tree crown was bare of leaves, covered with dense, dark green tendrils that swayed in unison, causing the air to vibrate and tremble.
"The Elder Tree"!
"For you!"
Without hesitation, "Lorry in the Painting," removed the "Shadow Ring" and threw it forward. A bluish-black tentacle lashed out, sending it flying far away.
But it didn't work!
The Lorry in the Painting, is a Briber!
The bribe offered by the Briber must be refused by the bribe-taker!
"Bribery—arrogance!"
The anger on the "Elder Tree's " face subsided temporarily, replaced by a disdainful expression.
The moment it was affected, the bluish-black tentacles growing on the left and right sides of the tree canopy, which were preparing to intercept the Fire Crows, momentarily froze!
Although the "Elder Tree" quickly shook off the influence of "arrogance" and hurriedly continued its attack, it was still overtaken by the extremely fast Fire Crows.
"Bang bang bang!"
One by one, the Fire Crows self-destructed, blasting the "Elder Tree" with furious roars.
With a swift movement, "Fors in the Painting" retreated quickly, creating distance between himself and "Elder Tree," and began to prepare his second spell.
"The Lorry in the Painting," remained nearby, ready to harass the enemy at any time.
Their existence conforms to the laws of Mysticism.
This came from the Lieutenant Colonel's gift; "The Curse of Knowledge" had already mastered the abilities of "Hunter" Sequence 9 and "Lawyer" Sequence 9.
Splash!
The bluish-black tentacles writhed wildly, and the old face of the "Elder Tree" opened and closed its mouth rapidly, suddenly uttering obscure and indistinct syllables:
Notarization: Valid!
"The Fire of Light!"
"Call!"
Golden, illusory Flames appeared out of thin air, quickly coalescing into a vast ocean of Flames, radiating immense power and astonishing heat.
Their appearance destroyed "Painter Lorry" in less than a second!
"You think I wouldn't find you?" The hollow mouth of the "Elder Tree" sneered. "I've just been waiting for my chance!"
When the "Painter" died, the two figures in the painting also disappeared.
In another Dimension.
The miniature features of the White Bone Ring changed slightly, and it said in an annoyed tone:
"Kid, is this the tactic you prepared?"
"I warned you before, something's not right about this ' Elder Tree.' Its wisdom is great, no less than that of some cunning Beyonder."
"I think you should just leave; there's no need to waste your time."
"Its ' Notarization ' ability can instantly kill Sequence 7, whether it's a summoned Illusions or a creature from a painting."
"Indeed." Lorry nodded sincerely, indicating that he agreed with this point:
"But..."
He abruptly changed the subject, returning to the Real World.
"Wind's Wind Blade" of the Wind 'Wind-blessed!
"Enlarge"!
As its Spirituality was suddenly depleted, countless azure Wind Blade appeared, sweeping towards the "Elder Tree" with ear-piercing whistles.
There's no rule saying there can only be one Bait.
