Upon seeing this scene, Herabergen Rambis immediately snapped out of his calm state and realized that he had fallen into a trap and had already been affected to some extent.
Without hesitation, his back bent slightly, and his body swelled noticeably.
His pupils then narrowed, turning from pale blue to golden yellow, and his face, the back of his hands, and every inch of his exposed skin grew grayish-white, stone-like scales.
With a ripping sound, his white shirt, black vest, suit jacket, and straight-leg trousers were all torn apart, revealing the dragon scales beneath.
In an instant, Herabergen Rambis transformed into an exceptionally large Monster. Except for its head, which retained a human form, the rest of its body had been completely mutated, resembling a gray- Dragon had not yet fully evolved and whose body had not yet fully grown.
This Dragon has two gray, skin-covered wings on its back, and its limbs are quite thick. The gray-white scales on its surface are engraved with complex and three-dimensional mysterious symbols that extend into its flesh and blood and outwards into the surrounding void, as if they are intertwined into something that does not belong to the real world. Just looking at it can drive people crazy, Distortion their thoughts, and taint their spirits with all sorts of seemingly heartfelt ideas, making them want to tear themselves apart or destroy themselves.
This is an incomplete Mythical Creature Form from the " Spectator " perspective!
For Demigod from other pathways, those who haven't reached the Angel rank must possess extremely strong willpower and unwavering faith to fight in Mythical Creature Form. Otherwise, they simply cannot control their tendency towards madness and loss of control, and will most likely lose their minds and truly become Monster. However, the " Spectator " pathway doesn't require this. They have " Placate " and treatments for the mind and spirit, so they are not helpless in the face of madness and loss of control. Therefore, as long as the battle doesn't last too long, they can use their Mythical Creature Form Mythical Creature Form they want and return to normal whenever they want.
Ugh!
All the thoughts in Herabergen Rambis's subconscious were boiling over, churning and discerning, pushing out one by one the implanted and modified part of his consciousness, and dissolving into nothingness.
Ugh!
A violent wind surged around the grey-white Dragon that Herabergen Rambis had transformed into, seemingly originating from reality, yet also from illusion.
They carried a certain will, blowing in all directions. Any creature caught in their wake inevitably exhibited various abnormal states: some stood frozen, trembling; others blindly and irrationally fled to the corners of the garden; some lost control of their bladder and bowels, their legs collapsing weakly; some fainted and fell into a coma; and still others displayed fanatical expressions, becoming followers of the Dragon.
This represents a qualitative change, stemming from the " Dragon Might " of Mythical Creature. It has transformed from a simple " Awe " into a multifaceted " Mind Deprivation "!
Taking advantage of the " Dragon Might " sweeping around, Herabergen Rambis's will combined with his thoughts, transforming into one illusory and sinister version of himself after another. From the Sea of Collective Subconscious, unseen by most Beyonder, he rapidly approached Gehrman Sparrow on the rooftop and Audrey Hall at the edge of the garden.
As a " Spectator," he could tell that the attacker was Gehrman Sparrow simply by not being able to see his face or his demeanor!
At this moment, following the conclusions of their previous discussion above the Gray Fog and the reminders from the two Demigod, "The World" and " The Hermit," Audrey was constantly muttering to herself, Hypnosis herself:
I can't see anything, I can't hear anything...
"I can't see anything, I can't hear anything..."
She was trying to avoid going insane or even losing control due to directly looking at Herabergen Rambis's Mythical Creature Form.
However, this also prevented her from "seeing" or sensing that a certain thought of Herabergen Rambis had approached her Mental Body from the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
Suddenly, the consciousness island corresponding to the blonde, blue-eyed girl in front of Herabergen Rambis's "eyes" vanished.
Audrey felt a warmth spread across her body, as if she had returned from a cold, dark cave to the sunlit ground.
She quickly broke free from the Hypnosis and opened her eyes. She saw the Sun shining brightly through the not-so-thin clouds, casting a brilliant glow. In the golden and clear light, autumn flowers bloomed quietly, beautiful and peaceful.
Audrey looked around somewhat blankly, but didn't see Herabergen Rambis, nor Gehrman Sparrow, nor the huge red moon.
This gave her the feeling that everything she had just experienced was just a dream.
"Such formidable power... A battle between two Demigod might not even cause a single flower to fall." Audrey muttered to herself silently, then calmly withdrew from the garden and retreated to the corridor connecting the garden to the house.
She was afraid that her presence would make Gehrman Sparrow hesitate and affect his fight.
In the Concealment world, one of Herabergen Rambis's alter egos also arrived at the island of consciousness of Gehrman Sparrow beneath the red moon.
He was about to ascend to the Door of the Mental Body and Manipulation the other's subconscious to make him do things against his own will, but he found that this illusory island standing in the Sea of Collective Subconscious was completely silent, with no thoughts floating or ideas Blink, and he could not influence it at all.
Puppet! Marionette! Herabergen Rambis made the judgment instantly, combining it with the intelligence he had gathered in the past, and gained a deeper understanding of Gehrman Sparrow's situation.
He was neither surprised nor discouraged; instead, he felt more joy and confidence. For Demigod using the " Spectator " pathway, this made it easy to distinguish between the Marionette and the original body, greatly diminishing Gehrman Sparrow's strongest abilities.
Moreover, did you think that the Marionette could disable my mind invasion and Consciousness Manipulation? The sinister and illusory Herabergen Rambis's golden vertical pupils swept across and found the transparent channel for transmitting thoughts on the consciousness island corresponding to the Marionette. This was the symbolic form of the " Spirit Body Threads " in the Mind World, in the realm of consciousness!
Immediately afterwards, Herabergen Rambis flashed along the transparent passage and found another island of consciousness hidden in the distance. This was the source of Manipulation Marionette through thoughts, meaning it belonged to the main body!
"Found you!"
Herabergen Rambis snorted coldly, causing a terrifying Mind Storm to erupt in the surrounding Sea of Collective Subconscious, which repeatedly pounded against Gehrman Sparrow's island of consciousness.
This caused a rapid change in the nearby celestial phenomena, and Spirituality perception of the surroundings was severely disrupted Herabergen Rambis took the opportunity to approach Gehrman Sparrow's island of consciousness, manifesting a gray-white staircase, attempting to quietly invade the other's subconscious realm.
This is his usual fighting style: one overt and one covert, one direct assault and invasion, the other covert infiltration. Using both together, he can easily break down the target's mental barrier and gain initial control over the opponent's Mental Body.
Meanwhile, he transformed into Dragon and took to the air, hovering in mid-air, using " Dragon Might " and "Breath" to influence Gehrman Sparrow, in coordination with the battle in the mental realm.
At that moment, the illusory Herwin Lambis, who had been quietly invading Gehrman Sparrow's mind from the depths of the collective unconscious along the bottom of the island of the mind, suddenly saw an endless gray-white mist before his eyes, while the surrounding ocean of the collective unconscious and the island of the mind completely disappeared.
Herabergen Rambis a chill run down his spine and quickly analyzed his mental state, suspecting that he had been affected by Illusion.
However, no matter what he did, the grayish-white fog remained unchanged, and of course, no accidents or dangers occurred; it seemed to be just a simple background.
This is quite puzzling.
Just as Herabergen Rambis was preparing to unleash Mind Storm here as well, the gray mist finally dissipated, revealing the consciousness island that had previously belonged to Gehrman Sparrow.
Without hesitation, Herabergen Rambis quickly infiltrated the corresponding subconscious realm, attempting to modify the target's thoughts.
However, those thoughts were all imbued with a clear light, filled with a sacred and solemn aura, unshakable and unaffected.
This... Herabergen Rambis instinctively looked up, following the materialized stone steps, towards the part of the island of consciousness floating above the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
Besides the "island" itself, what came into his view was a figure with twelve pairs of fiery wings on its back, radiating bursts of golden light.
That seemed to be a projection of Angel power!
Since the plan was to deal with a Demigod through the " Spectator " pathway today, Klein had undoubtedly used " Angel's Embrace " on himself beforehand. This was the kind of technique that could be used with the help of the " Red Priest " talisman to mobilize the mysterious spatial power above the Gray Fog. This was also the reason why he was not affected by the incomplete Mythical Creature Form for the time being.
He didn't show this directly earlier because he was using Herabergen Rambis as an experiment.
When Herabergen Rambis attempted to invade the consciousness island corresponding to his main body, his Marionette Qonas Kilgor used his ability to " Distortion " the target locked by the enemy: from Klein's Mental Body into Gray Fog reality projection shrouding Klein.
Therefore, if Herabergen Rambis can discover the island of consciousness within that gray-white mist, it means that an unknown being is slumbering in the mysterious space above the Gray Fog, Klein must be on guard as soon as possible; otherwise, he can be somewhat relieved.
This was something he had long wanted to try, but he had always hesitated because of the potential for great danger. Today, he finally had the opportunity to do it. In any case, even if there were any backlash, it would be Herabergen Rambis. He might even be able to easily deal with a Demigod through this.
Seeing that the other party was protected by Angel, and that he could not break through or infiltrate the other party's Mental Body in a short time to exert influence on consciousness, Herabergen Rambis retreated without hesitation, leaving the area and returning to his own mind through the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
Then, the enormous Dragon simply vanished, disappeared into thin air, and Klein couldn't find it even using the " Spirit Body Threads ".
" Psychological Invisibility!"
Herabergen Rambis planned to exploit psychological blind spots, hiding in the shadows, while continuing to use area-of-effect extraordinary abilities such as " Mind Deprivation " and " Mind Storm " to gradually weaken the mental barrier that Gehrman Sparrow had gained from the Angel's enhancement, and at the same time attempting to attack with his own Sealed Artifact.
As a Demigod who is a " Spectator," although the Dragon's melee combat is strong, it still lacks the necessary extraordinary abilities to possess powerful offensive capabilities, which must be compensated for through certain Sealed Artifact.
Just then, a phantom book appeared before Gehrman Sparrow, whose true Marionette was unknown, and a faint voice echoed around him:
"I came, I saw, I Record."
Klein intends to use the " Lightning Storm " Record by the " Scribe " within "Creeping Hunger "!
For something like " Psychological Invisibility," a single, all-encompassing saturation attack will solve the problem!
It must be said that the " Storm " approach is a pretty good choice for dealing with Beyonder of a similar style.
