Chapter 97: One versus Two! Kill the Family!

It's very quiet tonight.

When Xiao En stood up and cleared his mind, he found that it was particularly quiet tonight. He thought about it and realized that the group of noisy flying barbarians and terrifying ghosts did not come out tonight, or they did not race in the sky in this area.

When Xiao En saw them in the past, they were a group of weird and terrifying evil spirits with only bald and hideous heads flying around in the sky.

Now when Sean sees them, they are the speeding gangs and bikers from the weird country. They do nothing during the day, and at night they run from the spirit world to the material plane and race around.

A bunch of evil people who are not doing their jobs are going to be beaten up sooner or later!
——"If the mind has nothing to fear, it is fearless; if the mind has something to think about, it is also fearless."

It was getting very late.

When Xiao En looked into the distance, he could already see the reflections of black giants, but when he saw the reflections of these majestic giants again, he felt no ripples in his heart.

"Today, I consumed a lot of raw magic power."

"Starting tomorrow, let's go out for a walk at night."

Xiao En was secretly planning his next move. He couldn't hide at night. Although the challenge level of the weird kingdom at night was higher and there would be many evil spirits from other dimensions, he always had to go out and face it all, so now was a good time to adapt to it in advance.

Ding!
An alarm sounded in Sean's brain. It was a magic warning trap, which directly reminded him through telepathy that someone had approached the Eye Demon's lair and triggered the warning trap.

"Someone sneaked in?"

Xiao En calmly began to cast a spell, summoning an invisible servant, and had it stand next to the explosive trap, ready to trigger the device at any time. This trap was used to detonate by one's own people, so there was no need to be so troublesome, as long as it was hidden enough.

"Luckily I still have a little bit of raw magic left."

Xiao En calmly cast protective spells on himself, first an energy deflection force field, and then a shield spell. Needless to say, the energy deflection force field deflects all physical damage and is very useful. The latter summons an invisible force field shield, which is basically the same size as a tower shield. It can withstand magic missiles and provide additional protection of the shield.

Shield magic can resist attacks from incorporeal creatures, such as ghosts, spirits, evil spirits, etc. The application range of force field shield is quite wide.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

The spells that Xiao En mastered during the promotion ceremony were all life-saving spells. There are only a few spells on the spiritual path, so he would definitely give priority to the general psychic protective force field.

——Psionic Armor (1st level spell)!

An invisible armor constructed by the psychic field protected Sean's figure. It was inside the shield and energy deflection field, very close to the body, and was considered Sean's third protective barrier. It functioned like wearing a piece of armor, but it had no weight and would not affect any of his actions.

There is a characteristic of psionic spells, that is, all spells can be upgraded. By consuming more power points, the power of a 1st-level spell can be further enhanced and strengthened. The power points that Xiao En can currently mobilize can upgrade this spell to the power of the 5th level at most.

Currently, the level of protection provided by psychic armor is roughly equivalent to a piece of wonder-grade full-body armor.

——Defensive foresight (1st level spell)!

It still consumes more energy points to upgrade the spell. This spell can strengthen Sean's five senses, allowing his senses to extend into the 'future' for one second, predicting all enemy attacks in advance. It provides additional dodge blessing and strengthens Sean's immunity ability as a kind of enhanced insight into the future.

This is the lowest-end death replay, which can predict the enemy's attack one second in advance, and can help Xiao En avoid most sneak attacks.

If the enemy's attack is too fierce, it may not be effective.

This psychic spell is considered an internal enhancement, tending towards the ability to enhance the sixth sense.

Xiao En actually has a 'force field barrier' shield blessing, but it overlaps with the wizard's shield spell, so there is no need to cast it. Without upgrading the ring, the wizard's shield spell is still more useful and consumes less original magic power.

If you upgrade the spell, it's not worth it to use the 5th level of psychic energy and add an enhanced force field shield.

"There is only one last psychic enhancement left - skin thickening."

"This is also a 1st level psionic spell, but the method of obtaining it is more complicated."

Xiao En completed all the protective blessings within a dozen seconds, and it lasted for a long time, at least more than ten minutes, which was enough to deal with most combat situations.

Currently, his protective spells, from outside to inside, are: shield (force field shield), secondary deflection field, psionic armor (force field armor), and defensive foresight (enhanced inner five senses).

The only thing left is skin thickening. With Sean's current ability, he can strengthen his skin to the level of dragon skin of ordinary sub-dragon creatures.

With this set of spells, he should not be able to die even if he stands there and is shot by people.

But from the outside, he was still an ordinary spellcaster dressed in cloth.

"The triple force field shield should be enough."

Xiao En thought about it and decided not to continue casting attribute enhancement spells. After all, he was not a warrior and would not go up to chop people with a knife. There was no need to enhance his strength, agility and physique attributes. The best option was to retain more mana pool to deal with emergencies.

If he hadn't consumed too much original magic power today, he would have to give himself another blessing of "Fox's Cunning" to further increase his temporary intelligence limit.

But for now, he should keep some original magic power, after all, his life-saving ability is "dimensional jumping".

Outside the Eye Demon's Lair.

A sneaky figure was slowly approaching. It was the night witch merchant who had taken the initiative to test Sean. Now he was fully armed. Not only did he hold a strange skull staff in his right hand, but he also held a special gem amulet in his left hand.

Screamer Balder cast an invisibility spell on himself in advance, but he underestimated Sean's vigilance and did not notice that he had triggered a very hidden spell warning trap.

This spell is a bit like a sensing device. As long as it is triggered by a living creature, Sean will receive a telepathic warning.

It came a little early.

The night wizard merchant had agreed with Sean to arrive in three days, but it was only the second day and he had already quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the Eye Demon's lair.

Not far from the Night Witch was a hunched, strange, blurry shadow.

It moved silently, its entire body disappearing into the shadows. A wing-like membrane extended from the bulge on its back. Relying on the power of the Shadow Sequence, it completely concealed its own breath and quietly approached from the other side of the Eye Demon's lair.

A monster on the wanderer's path. It is not certain what it is at the moment, but it looks like an alien or a demon.

"He should not have discovered us." A mental whisper sounded in the Night Wizard's ears.

An old human face appeared on the Night Witch's chest. It looked like some kind of seal that parasitized the human body and possessed a certain self-awareness.

Night Witch nodded slightly and said, "If he finds out, I will talk to him and attract his attention."

"Look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and don't give him time to cast the spell."

A prepared wizard is very scary!

You can kill a wizard with a sneak attack, but if you challenge a wizard to a duel, you will definitely die a horrible death.

That's why this night witch sneaked over here a day in advance.

However, it didn't know that Sean had set up a lot of warning spells nearby, and now Sean was a prepared wizard.

The entrance to the Beholder Cave.

Xiao En's brows furrowed as he murmured, "Just one enemy?"

"Something is wrong!"

He didn't believe that an enemy would dare to touch his door, so he cast a new spell on himself.

——Clairvoyance (2nd-level spell).

Sean's eyes penetrated the darkness. Without wearing a halo, he instantly saw a hunched, weird, blurry figure in the dark night. Invisibility and stealth were ineffective on him. Sean's inspiration was too high.

It was a monster that seemed to be a combination of human and insect, reminding him of a movie he had seen in his previous life, Fly Man. The enemy looked very disgusting, with weird compound eyes, deformed limbs, and very sharp black claws. It moved silently, and the fly wings on its back might have a certain flying ability, or at least could assist in jumping short distances.

Judging from its appearance, this monster is a little indescribable. It may have the blood of its old family, which is enough to pollute the minds of others.

In the past, if Xiao En saw its true face, he would probably be a little affected.

But now when Xiao En saw it, he had only one comment in his mind: "This little thing looks pretty unique!"

Xiao En calculated the distance and began to move his position.

The shadow servant stood silently beside the explosive trap. It was a mindless summoned creature from the spirit world, a reflection of the soul. It could be automatically resurrected in the spirit world after death.

"Night witch?"

Xiao En narrowed his eyes slightly, deducing the movements of the two enemies. Three invisible hands extended out. The enemies were all very strong. Monsters that came out at night were much more troublesome than those that came out during the day. - Invisibility.

A lot of original magic power was consumed today. I rested for a while before, but I didn’t recover much. The next battle will still be mainly based on psychic power and firearms.

Xiao En quickly simulated the tactics in his mind.

One against two, kill one enemy first.

Not far away, Screamer Balder had already seen the Beholder Cave in front. He cast a spell to summon a spirit, then approached cautiously and took out a strange black stone.

This is a thunderous rock.

The product of the alchemical path is very popular in other planes. It is very powerful and can cause certain damage to spirits.

boom!
But what greeted it was a violent explosion. The night wizard was walking towards the main gate, which was right on the way where Sean had set the explosion trap. After calculating the range of the explosion, Sean directly ordered the invisible servant to stand on the explosion trap.

With a dull explosion, rising blue flames spread in all directions.

The body of the Screamer Balder was instantly blown into pieces, and one of his arms and legs was blown more than ten meters away. The tremendous power surprised Xiao En, and he secretly gave a thumbs up to the Fire Demon from the Abyss City.

It's money well spent!
As if it was a chain reaction, the thunderous blasting stone in the hands of Screamer Balder also exploded, directly crushing it to ashes on the spot.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

A ball of condensed black mist emerged from the flames of the explosion, revealing an old human face. Then the squirming black mist squeezed out another head, which was the hideous face of the Screamer - Balder.

"Turned into an evil spirit?!"

Xiao En raised his hand instantly and a mental spike burst out.

There was a series of shrill howling sounds like ghosts and wolves howling.

The evil spirit with two heads flew towards Xiao En, and the two heads squeezed together seemed to want to gnaw on something. Before it got close, it was blocked in front of Xiao En by a force field shield. The force field protection barrier can block virtual creatures, including the evil spirit that suddenly transformed in front of him.

——Mind Spike! (Spell Upgrade)
boom.

Like a bunch of exploding black fireworks, the evil spirit transformed by the Night Witch exploded on the spot in an instant, and the entire mind was shattered.

A flash of cold light flashed across!

At this moment, Xiao En seemed to have sensed something. His five senses extended towards the future for one second. He seemed to see an ugly and ferocious fly man swooping out from his own shadow, with a cold sharp blade piercing his heart.

Roll to dodge.

Sean lunged forward and rolled without hesitation. In his shadow, a hideous monster just appeared, and he had already pulled out a short-barreled shotgun out of thin air. However, he did not turn around and shoot himself. Instead, he threw it casually, and the invisible hand caught it instantly. Sean turned his back to the enemy, and the invisible hand pulled the trigger.

There was a hint of disbelief in the monster's eyes!

boom!
In the exploding blood light, the monster was blown backwards.

During the whole process, Xiao En did not look back. The counterattack was completely dominated by the Invisible Hand. The agility of the Wanderer's Path was too terrifying. Xiao En must not enter the opponent's killing range. Within a distance of three meters, the enemies of the Wanderer's Path can cut your throat at any time.

This monster's vitality was so tenacious that even after being shot in the face, it was still able to flap its wings behind it like a fly and swoop straight towards Sean's position.

Never give the wizard time to cast the spell.

Strange black spikes flew through the air, as if they were part of its body, and when activated, they burst out with powerful penetrating power like a crossbow arrow.

Shield spell.

Energy deflection field.

Psychic Armor.

Most of the triple force field shield on Sean's body was pierced at once, but before breaking the triple force field shield, Sean's five senses extended into the future for one second and made the most accurate response.

——Dimension jump.

Xiao En's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared ten meters away. This distance allowed him to avoid the enemy's powerful attack.

"A monster from the High-Level Wanderer's Path!"

Sean's expression was extremely solemn. He was able to become completely invisible and could travel through the shadows of enemies. He was even more difficult to deal with than the mistress he encountered at the beginning. This monster was at least one level higher than Sean, five levels higher than him, and had combat power close to that of a Death Patrolman.

If Screamer Balder had not been killed by the explosion at the beginning, Sean's situation would definitely be very dangerous at this moment.

The enemy's explosive power after transforming into an insect is too strong!

Even the Death Patrolman does not have the explosive power of this insect, because the human body has certain limitations, and its comprehensive abilities are stronger and more flexible.

Xiao En immediately pulled out his gun and fired. Amid the dense gunfire, dark green blood exploded on the enemy's body.

But it still didn't die, its vitality was as tenacious as that of a bug.

He even doubted whether this monster was as strong as the legend said!
Because the bloodline descendants of the old families often inherit some abilities that only legendary creatures possess.

Xiao En calculated the distance and before the enemy flapped its wings and swooped over, he took out a grenade, pulled out the fuse, and threw it to the invisible hand. This monster could fly over a short distance of more than ten meters and could also jump through shadows. He couldn't delay too long because he couldn't guard against when the enemy would appear in his shadow.

boom!
An explosion sounded behind Sean, and the monster that looked like a fly man had its head blown to pieces. Most of its head disappeared, leaving only the remains of the corpse twitching in place, with streams of dark green blood gushing out.

Go back one second in time.

The moment the enemy rushed forward, he mysteriously disappeared, then appeared behind Xiao En and shuttled into his shadow.

This was a feint to confuse Sean. Its real purpose was to shuttle through the shadows and attack directly from within them, rather than charging head-on and facing a hail of bullets.

At the same time, Xiao En predicted the enemy's attack and a grenade was about to explode. The invisible hand took the grenade and sent it directly to the enemy's face.

There was a dull explosion.

Xiao En's figure was knocked back, the energy deflection field blocked the exploding caltrops, the psychic armor blocked the impact of the explosion, and the defensive prediction determined the dodge position where the damage was least severe.

Xiao En fell to the ground with minor injuries, and half of the monster's head was blown off.

In this close-range explosion, the triple force field shield directly helped Xiao En bear most of the damage. This seemingly mutual destruction action only caused him to suffer minor injuries.

——Damage redirection (2nd level spell).

Xiao En stood up, and a flash of inspiration emerged. The wound on his abdomen had moved to the back of his hand. His injury was no longer even a minor one.

One against two!

Xiao En successfully killed a demon of the same level, a high-level monster with the blood of his old family.

At this moment, he himself was a little surprised at his own growth, because this time he didn't even trigger the death replay. During the whole battle, he maintained the calmness and composure when he asked the question, as if his mind was free from all distractions.

If Xiao En hadn't consumed so much magic power before, he would have been able to handle this battle more easily.

"The spoils of war!?"

As if he had thought of something, Xiao En, who was calm and composed the moment before, ran over anxiously the next second. "Will it be damaged by the explosion?"

The explosion just now was so powerful that even rare objects might not be able to withstand it.

It is common for rare items to be destroyed in battle.

The fire demon's stuff is really useful, but it's a little expensive. The explosion trap just now has the power of at least a fourth-level spell, but the disadvantage is that it needs an invisible servant to actively detonate it, otherwise it may not hit anyone.

If that wanderer had come over, the explosive trap would definitely have been discovered.

Of course, you can also let the invisible servant stand on it to detonate it when the enemy is dismantling the trap, but it is always a very troublesome operation.

The way to cast spells is to teach yourself alchemy, and crafting rare items is considered universal knowledge. Xiao En just advanced relatively late, so he doesn't have enough time to learn it yet.

He planned to go back and visit the Fire Demon of the Alchemical Path again.
