Chapter 2409 Frost Mist

X0 number?

Angel had learned from Reynolds before that the number with "X" as the sequence represented that he was originally an experimental subject.

What Angel didn't expect was that there was an X0 above Reynolds's X1 number? Reynolds didn't mention it at the beginning, and he probably didn't even know the existence of this number 0.

Angel looked at the bright red "0" digit. According to the unspoken rules of the laboratory, the higher the number, the stronger the strength. I think the strength of this number 0 should not be underestimated.

While he was thinking this, the glass column was opened from the middle. The cold liquid inside rolled out, and a lot of cold air filled the surroundings. The frost fog that had dissipated because the door was opened before condensed again.

In the increasingly thick frost fog, a figure slowly walked towards Angel, and every step was accompanied by a fierce power.

When this power accumulated to the maximum extent, it turned into a compelling pressure.

From the moment the pressure appeared, Angell understood the opponent's strength level, which was definitely at the level of a formal wizard! Only a formal wizard can have such a terrifying pressure.

It seems that they still underestimated the wizard-level combat power of the laboratory. There are only three wizard-level combat forces on the surface, but there are at least six wizard-level combat forces hidden in secret.

"Want to chat? No. 0?" Angell's voice echoed in the silent space.

Not long after the voice fell, a voice with a clear mechanical texture came from No. 0's mouth: "Confirmed, the authority is lower than 99, there is no soul mark, the target is classified as an intruder, the threat level is tentatively set at level 3, and the execution result: clear."

Listening to the other party's voice, and the eyes that looked sinister but without a trace of emotional waves. Angell understood that it was basically impossible to communicate.

Although this X0 is an experimental subject, it has obviously been stripped of the emotional module. Perhaps, it has been transformed into a cyborg.

His existence may just be the guardian here.

While Angel's thoughts were flying, a white light suddenly flashed and slashed towards his neck.

Angel hurriedly retreated, but as soon as he moved his feet, a chill came from behind. At some point, a wall made of ice appeared behind him.

Phantom limbs immediately flew out from his back and broke the ice wall. Angel jumped back several times and came several meters away.

After standing still, Angel noticed that the previous white light came from the pure white dagger that suddenly appeared in X0's hand.

This dagger was emitting a biting cold air, and it was clear throughout, as if it was made of unmelting ice.

But as an authority in alchemy, Angel saw at a glance that this dagger was definitely not made of ice. As for the real material, Angel could not judge for the time being, but what was certain was that it gave Angel a very familiar feeling.

It was a bit like the chain that Nausicaa released on the Ghost Dock Island before.

This is... soul weapon.

X0 saw that the first wave of attacks was dodged by Angel, but he was not angry at all. He turned into a residual image and rushed forward directly, continuing to attack Angel with the dagger.

Every time X0 swung the dagger, it would bring bursts of cold air, which caused the frost fog in the room not only to not disappear, but to become thicker and thicker.

However, no matter how fast X0 moved, he was not faster than Angel, and every time he swung the dagger, Angel could dodge it.

While dodging, Angel was also counterattacking with his phantom limbs, but the coverage and attack speed of the phantom limbs were far superior to X0, and every time he could interrupt X0's movements, or even directly blow it away.

However, even if he was blown away, it had no effect on X0. He made a few floating ice in the air and stepped on it. His speed did not decrease at all, but facing Angel who was faster than him, X0 still did not find any advantage.

X0 seemed to have noticed this. After a series of confrontations, X0 suddenly jumped up and kicked Angel in the chest. His goal was not to kick Angell, but to produce a spike-like icicle under his feet, which turned into countless ice cones and stabbed at Angell.

X0 himself retreated and fell several meters away.

"The target speed cannot be captured, and the threat level has increased to level 2."

As the voice fell, X0's fair skin suddenly began to turn red, and a "gurgling" sound was heard in the air, like the sound of boiling water.

As X0's skin became redder and redder, streams of steam rose from his body.

When X0 attacked again, Angell clearly felt that X0's speed had become faster, almost turning into an afterimage.

But what X0 didn't expect was that Angel's speed had also increased, not weaker than his at all.

If someone was here, all they could see was the rolling frost fog and the crackling sound of fighting in the air. As for the human figure... unless their eyes were modified, they couldn't capture it at all.

Phantom limbs flew and ice blades clashed.

Shattered ice sand fell in the air.

"The target's threat level has been significantly increased and is about to be raised to level 1." X0's voice rang out again during the battle.

As the voice fell, Angel could clearly see that X0 had an extra pure white dagger in his left hand.

"Level 2 threat means increased speed, and level 1 threat means an extra dagger?" Angel muttered to himself: "So, the increase in daggers means increased attack power?"

Soon, Angel saw the combat effect of having an extra dagger.

X0's attack power has indeed increased, but not as much as expected. After two daggers, another ability, frost fog, is improved.

Every time X0 swings his daggers, he can draw a piece of white frost fog in the air.

This white frost fog is very special, and it is obviously different from the frost fog that permeated the air before. It carries a strange energy that can...freeze the soul.

Yes, after judgment, Angel can be sure that frost fog can directly affect the soul.

As X0 swings his daggers faster and faster, this frost fog that can freeze the soul gradually replaces the simple frost fog and spreads in the narrow room.

The spread of frost fog also compresses Angel's combat space.

Even though Angel keeps dodging, he is still forced to encounter frost fog during X0's pursuit and this range attack.

However, frost fog is useless to Angel.

Even though X0 has lost his emotional module, he was stunned when he saw this scene.

...

At this time, Angel, who was studying next to the main control node, raised his head and said, "It seems that we are going to be discovered..."

Toby chirped softly at the frost mist in the distance, as if saying, "Idiot."

Although Dangros didn't know what Toby was saying, he still echoed, "Master Toby is right!"

Angel ignored the mysterious conversation between the two little guys, but turned his head to look at the frost mist in the distance. In his field of vision, he could clearly see two figures in the frost mist.

One was X0, and the other... was Angel himself.

Or, it was the illusion left by Angel.

Before X0 came out of the glass column, Angel released a large number of illusion nodes around. The spread of cold liquid caused the frost mist to grow, which provided a more hidden place for the illusion nodes.

As soon as X0 came out, Angel had already constructed the illusion and came to the vicinity of the main control node.

The one who fought with X0 later was completely an illusion.

"This X0 talks about quantifying the threat, but his judgment is so poor. He doesn't even think about it. With his speed, he didn't even hit me. There must be something fishy." Dangros said.

After he finished speaking, Dangros felt a coolness around him. He looked back and saw Angel looking at him with raised eyebrows.

Dangros was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He coughed twice and said, "I'm not saying that Mr. Pat's speed is not fast, but, just..."

Although Dangros was stuck, what he said was actually right. Judging from the fighting style, attack intensity and other details, X0 is a blood wizard with enhanced speed. Angel's speed must not exceed X0 before activating the gravity vein.

If he was facing a normal blood wizard, he would probably be suspicious after a while: the enemy is so fast, but he didn't use the advantage of speed to fight back, but controlled a phantom limb to fight, which is obviously wrong.

But X0 is not a normal wizard. He has lost the emotional module, and from the current situation, he has also lost his normal logic. Both his behavior and judgment are based on rigid quantification. This may make him calmer and better controlled, but facing an illusion wizard like Angel, he is completely suppressed.

If there were no space restrictions, even if X0 had a soul-freezing frost mist that could spread, Angel could use his illusion body to make him lose his way.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

One good thing about X0 is that after no emotional interference, although his judgment has declined, he is more decisive.

"The ice blade has failed to unlock, and the soul of the intruder has not been detected. Start reviewing the battle and performing energy screening."

"The screening has results, and more than 60% may be affected by illusion."

"The threat level of the intruder has begun to fluctuate, and the current threat has been raised to level 0."

As the voice fell, X0 stopped attacking, but stood in place, took out two daggers and cut his neck, and blood gushed out.

A large amount of blood fell to the ground.

The blood beads seemed to be pulled and slowly seeped into the ground. Then, a burst of red light began to flash from the ground.

In the red light, the lines of the magic pattern can be clearly seen.

The red light kept flashing... flashing, and flashing again.

But at the end of the flashing, there was no change.

X0 was stunned for a long time, not knowing what happened. Why did he activate the magic pattern with blood, but the other guard did not appear?

Yes, there is another guard here.

X0 is the guard in the open, and the other guard is the hidden power. When X0 cannot resist the intruder and the threat level reaches level 0, the magic pattern on the ground will be activated by blood to call out the guard in the dark.

But now, X0 is confused.

The magic pattern seems to be activated, the red light is flashing, and his blood is flowing, so why doesn't the guard appear?

As a cyborg with a fixed mindset, whether X0 has self-doubt is another matter, but he definitely has a "downtime" situation.

He is now standing in the frost mist, not knowing what to do.

Should he continue to fight? He can't beat him.

Or wait for another guard to appear? But the red light just flashed, but no one came.

After a long while, X0 said dully: "There is an error in the program, and the level 0 threat cannot be activated. The intruder threat is reclassified to level 1."

After the words fell, X0 continued to chase and hack at the illusion... He actually wanted to hack at Angel's real body, but he couldn't find it, so he could only attack the illusion.

"Is this the legendary self-deception?" Dangros looked at what happened in the illusion and continued to be a commentator.

Dangros looked at it for a while, but he was not interested anymore. He turned to look at Angel: "What was that red light just now? What did he want to activate?"

Angel shrugged: "I don't know either."

Dangros showed a look of disbelief, but Angel was not talking nonsense. He really didn't know what X0 wanted to activate.

He didn't find the magic pattern hidden under the floor at first, because this kind of floor is a special material that can silently shield the senses.

However, as a master of enchantment, Angel knows the magic pattern very well. In addition, he didn't fight with X0, but directly created an illusion to play with X0, so X0 didn't activate the ground magic array in the first place, which gave Angel time to study the main control node.

Angel looked at the main control node for a while and immediately found a strange magic pattern line.

This magic pattern line seemed to appear out of thin air, without any connection, but directly connected to the magic array.

It was like a red dot on a piece of white paper, and Angel noticed that it was wrong at the first time.

After a study, it was discovered that this magic pattern was connected to the floor. The reason why it seemed to "appear out of thin air" was because the special material of the floor shielded the magic pattern line.

Angel studied it for a while and understood the mechanism of this magic pattern, which required some kind of blood to activate.

As soon as the activation conditions were seen, it was known that it was not a good thing.

Although it was unknown what effect the magic pattern would eventually have, based on the crisis judgment, Angel directly used the method of external stone slabs to temporarily suppress this magic pattern.

This is why there was a situation over there, and X0 could not activate the magic array.

It can be said that this is a kind of coincidence. If Angel did not know the magic pattern, if Angel did not take the lead in studying the main control node, it is highly likely that he would not have discovered this matter.

But there is no if in the world.

All kinds of coincidences have led to the inevitability of today.

Angel turned his head to look at the two figures fighting again in the frost fog. He rubbed his temples, which were a little sore from studying the magic array, and gently tapped the ground with his knuckles.

A head emerged from his shadow.

"Ermi, go and get rid of X0."

If there was no frost fog that froze the soul, Angel would not mind continuing to walk X0. But now the frost fog has appeared, the space of the main control node is limited, and it would be bad if it floated over.

So, it is better to control him.
