"Illusion? Why is there an illusion here?" Everyone found Winst's speculation hard to believe. After all, illusions had been lost for a long time.
"Although it is unbelievable, this is indeed an illusion.”
"Alright, if this is an illusion, then who released it?”
"He shouldn't be an illusionist. Otherwise, he wouldn't have released such an illusion that could only trap us.”
"If it's not an illusionist, then the only possibility is that magical beast?”
"Yes, but since it has already discovered us, why didn't it attack us? Instead, it trapped us?”
"According to Avril's deduction, I've thought of a possibility.”After the discussion, Brad voiced his thoughts.
"What if this illusion isn't targeted at us, but covers this domain? In other words, we had already fallen into the illusion when we entered the depths of the forest. We only realized it when we left. Therefore, this illusion was only a defensive method of the magical beasts. The problem was, if that magic beast really had the ability to drive away all the other magic beasts, then why did it still cast an illusion in this area after the other magic beasts left? After all, it was not easy to cast such a large-scale illusion.”
"Oh! I think I understand what you mean, Brad. That is to say, although that magical beast drove the other magical beasts away, it was worried that they would return. This means that its strength is not that strong. Then how did it drive those magical beasts away?”Winst continued his analysis.
"If you say that it's not strong enough, that's not necessarily true. Ordinary magical beasts can't cover such a large area with an illusion unless it's a magical beast that's good at illusions.”
"That's why the contradiction appears here. If it really has that kind of strength, why would it spend so much effort to set up an illusion here? If it didn't have the strength, how could it chase the other magical beasts away?”
"I think there are two possibilities. First, it was powerful, but because it was seriously injured, it had to enter a long recuperation state. Therefore, for its own safety, it had made a defense. Secondly, it was not strong enough and was only good at illusions. It must have used some kind of illusion to scare the other magical beasts away. In order to prevent them from coming back, it used an illusion to take this place for itself.”
"If these two possibilities are true, then we know what it is. First of all, according to the first deduction, it was powerful and could cast a large-scale illusion. It came here after being seriously injured, so the place where it fought couldn't be too far away. It was a magical beast nearby, which meant that it was most likely from the magical beast forest.”
"There are quite a few powerful magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest. It is already quite rare for some magical beasts to occasionally release mental magic. As far as I know, there should be no one who can cast such a large-scale illusion. The only magical beast that matched these two characteristics was the Dream Demon. However, the Dream Demon was a magical beast unique to the Dark Island. It should not have come here.”Ariel grew up in the Magical Beast Forest, so her words were authoritative.
"Could it be that it followed the Dark Magicians to the Haas Continent and encountered the people of the Holy Church? After a fierce battle, it was lucky enough to escape, but it was seriously injured and came here.”
"If that's the case, the people of the Holy Church won't let it go. Since the incident in the forest, we haven't seen anyone from the Holy Church.”
"So the possibility of the dream demon is eliminated? The remaining ones were not strong enough, but they were good at illusions.”Winst was suddenly stunned after he finished speaking. He quickly turned to look at the others and found that everyone had an incredulous expression on their faces, except for Aber, who was confused as if he was listening to a heavenly book.
"Could it be the Demon-Transforming Beast? That's impossible. Isn't it extinct?”Avril muttered to herself. Clearly, she still couldn't believe what everyone had guessed.
The Demon-Transforming Beast was a very unique type of demonic beast. It was the only type of demonic beast whose magic nucleus could be absorbed by humans. To become an illusionist, the prerequisite was that only a spiritual mage could do it. The inheritance of an illusionist was also different from ordinary magic. Therefore, although illusionists were classified as mental magic, they could be said to be an independent magic system.
Be it elemental magic, mental magic, or even summoning magic and death magic, all of these could be learned to gain the power to use magic. However, illusions could not be learned. It had no way to learn illusions. The only way to learn illusions was to accept the inheritance of illusions.
The so-called illusion inheritance was that the illusionist would use the illusion technique and note the method of casting the illusion on a high-quality mana crystal. The disciple who wanted to learn the illusion only needed to absorb the mana crystal to complete the illusion inheritance. However, the difficulty was that only a Grand Magister could create an Inheritance Crystal, and it was quite troublesome to make. The disciple who accepted the inheritance also had to pass the test of the inner demon. Failure would only lead to death.
The appearance of the Demon-Transforming Beast had broken the restrictions of this inheritance. The Demon-Transforming Beast was born to be an expert in illusions. Its strength was average, but its illusions were perfect. Moreover, its magic core could be absorbed like the Inheritance Crystal. Therefore, it did not matter if there was no Inheritance Crystal. As long as one absorbed the Demon-Transforming Beast's magic core and passed the test of the inner demon, they could still become an illusionist.
As the use of the Demon-Transforming Beast's magic nucleus was discovered, they suffered a crazy massacre, causing the Demon-Transforming Beast to be on the verge of extinction. Not every mage who received the inheritance could reach the realm of a Grand Magister. Slowly, the illusionists who lost their inheritance faded out of people's reality.
There weren't many spiritual mages in the first place. During that period of time, almost all of them went to hunt down Demon-Transforming Beasts in hopes of becoming illusionists. This led to the decline of spiritual magic, which was lost to this day.
"If it really is the Demon-Transforming Beast, then we have picked up a treasure.”
"Let's just think of it as the Demon-Transforming Beast for now. Then why would the Demon-Transforming Beast appear here?”
"I don't know. Why don't we ask it directly?”Brad voiced everyone's thoughts.
"Although the Demon-Transforming Beast is only a fifth-grade magical beast, the illusions it excels in are truly unimaginable. It has not appeared for so many years, and we have no experience with it.”
"Guild Leader, are you going to let it go just like that?”
"We're not sure if it's the Demon-Transforming Beast. Even if it is, it's useless to us.”
"Who says it's useless!" Following Brad's words, everyone turned their eyes to Abel, who was standing there foolishly.
"You, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not that Demon-Transforming Beast.”Everyone's gaze made Abel's heart skip a beat.
"Abel, although you don't know mental magic, you should be suitable to learn it, right?”
"What? It should be. Uncle Lott also said that I could learn mental magic.”
"Then it's settled." For the sake of Abel, Winst decided to take the risk. If it was really the Demon-Transforming Beast, then it would be extremely important for Abel to increase his strength.
"What's the matter? Why can't I understand what you're saying?”Abel was still confused.
Everyone felt helpless about Abel's ignorance. They could only start to tutor him. After understanding what was going on, Abel's eyes lit up as he rushed into the forest.
"Sigh! Wait!" Avril hurriedly pulled him back.
"What are you waiting for? What if it runs away?" Abel was burning with anxiety.
"Are you a pig? We're still in its illusion. If we don't break this illusion, we'll keep spinning around.”
"Oh! Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and break this illusion."
"If illusions are so easy to break, would anyone still be an illusionist?”
"Then what should we do? Are you just going to stand there like a fool?"
"Aren't we thinking of a way?!”Abel was scared by Avril's shout and didn't dare to say anything else.
"Don't look at me. I've never experienced an illusion before.”Seeing everyone's anticipation for him, Brad quickly expressed that he was not that capable.
"Although I discovered the illusion, I won't break it.”Winst waited for everyone to look over and explained in advance.
"That... I know a little…" After Catherine finished speaking, she saw that everyone was staring at her, and her face turned even redder.
" Sister Tomato is so awesome!!" Abel's face was full of admiration. He was counting on Catherine for his illusion.
"That... In the book…I've seen the introduction…"
"Catherine, do you have the confidence to break it?”
"I don't know…The book said... This kind of range illusion…There was a center…So..." Although Catherine didn't explain it clearly, everyone understood what she meant.
The effect of an illusion on a person was completely different from the effect on an area. If a person fell into an illusion, no matter what happened in the illusion, as long as he recovered, it would only take an instant in reality, unless he died in the illusion. If the illusion was used in an area, then there must be a center in the illusion. As long as he found this center, it would be the key to breaking the illusion.
"Do you all understand what Catherine said? From now on, we will carefully look for things that are incompatible with the surroundings. Don't let go of any clues.”
"Yes, sir!" After hearing the order, Abel was the first to charge forward, but he was pulled back by Avril.
"Do you want to die? This is an illusion. Why are you running around? We can't split up.”Avril said as she knocked hard on Abel's head.
Seeing that a sumptuous meal was right in front of him, but he could not eat it, Ai Bo, who wanted to cry but had no tears, followed behind the crowd and searched the forest.
"I'm so tired! Where the hell is the center of this?”Even Avril, who loved the forest the most, couldn't stand wandering around here.
"We've been searching for so long. Why haven't we found the center?”Winst also looked depressed.
"Starting from this tree, we have already circled around it three times, but we haven't found anything unusual.”Brad sat on the ground dispiritedly, too lazy to get up.
"Bang!" Abel didn't say anything. After walking for a long time with Fallen in the forest on his back, he was really out of strength and fell to the ground.
The depressing atmosphere suppressed everyone's hearts. If this continued, not to mention killing the Demon-Transforming Beast, it would be a problem if they could even get out of here alive. Seeing Abel fall, the others sat down to rest, meditating or meditating.
The appearance of the Demon-Transforming Beast gave Abel a huge hope. If he could really become an illusionist, he would have the ability to protect himself. He left in high spirits and returned in disappointment. The extremely dejected Abel did not even have the mood to meditate. He just lay there, staring at the sky without blinking.
Suddenly, Abel jumped up and shouted at the crowd,"" I found the center!!"
"Where?" "Really?" "If you lie to me, you're dead!" Although they didn't believe it, everyone still came to Abel's side in an instant.
"Look, that cloud! I had been looking at the sky just now. The other clouds had drifted away with the wind, but it did not move at all.”Abel said as he danced around.
"Clouds? I didn't expect this to be the center of attention, but we've been paying attention to those trees.”Following Abel's gaze, everyone finally noticed the difference in the cloud.
"Damn, this Demon-Transforming Beast is really smart. It actually set the center on the clouds.”
"Yeah, as expected of a magical beast famous for its illusions. It actually released an illusion with the clouds as the center, and it even covered such a vast forest.”
"Avril, shoot an arrow at that cloud.”Ariel didn't hesitate at all, and a sharp arrow whistled through the air.
Crack! It sounded like glass shattering. Everyone felt the world in front of them suddenly collapse. Before they could react, the surrounding environment had changed.
The illusion was finally broken!
