Chapter 2424: Power of the Mind
Angel planned to wait here for a while. If the mist shadow really came back, it would be a good surprise for it. If it didn't come back, it didn't matter, anyway, Reynolds's body had been found.
After making the decision, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the energy poison fog not far away.
An illusion of "Reynolds" appeared out of thin air, lying face down there.
Angel leaned back slightly, and the whole person seemed to have entered the ripples of space and merged with the surrounding environment.
After taking concealment measures, Angel looked at the bottle in his hand again.
Looking quietly at the purple-black crystal in the bottle that was shining in the cold liquid, Angel pondered for a moment and took out the geometric lock from the bracelet.
He manipulated the geometric lock to become as big as a palm box, and then Angel carefully put the bottle into it.
The geometric lock depicts the breathless confinement, which can cover the escape of breath to a certain extent.
The reason why he put the bottle into the geometric lock was not to prevent the mist shadow, but to avoid greater risks.
He couldn't tell what the purple-black crystal in the bottle was. If there was a very small probability that it was the organ of the larva of Sheed, and if Gruzdewald was really angry because of No. 01's behavior, he might be implicated because of the bottle.
So, just in case, put the bottle into the geometric lock first.
Then, depending on the situation, decide whether to keep or put the bottle.
After doing all this, Angel was ready to put away the geometric lock. He first activated the bracelet space, but paused for two seconds strangely, and then closed the bracelet space. Finally, he threw the geometric lock lightly, letting it fall into the shadow on the ground, and was caught by the hand stretched out from the shadow and sank.
There is a certain risk in putting it in the bracelet, so it is better to put it in Ermi.
After dealing with the bottle, Angel opened the mind tie while waiting for the mist shadow to arrive, ready to talk to Reynolds about his physical body.
But just when Angel was about to connect the mind strap, he was surprised to find that... the mind strap had been disconnected.
What happened? Why did Lord Kant suddenly disconnect the mind strap? Is there something wrong with the fourth floor?
Angel looked at Toby and Dangros with doubts.
With Dangros' explanation and Toby's occasional help, Angel finally understood what happened.
Ferro crushed the crystal Kant gave him. Either No. 03 forced his way out, or No. 01 and others came back. Faced with this situation, Nice must go out to support Ferro.
As for Angel, Kant hoped that he would leave the laboratory as soon as possible regardless of whether he found Reynolds' body or not.
"When did they leave?"
Dangros: "Not long after I said that the bottle looked familiar. They left after explaining the situation. I was looking for an opportunity to talk to the gentleman, but you asked me."
It was just a minute or two ago. At that time, Angel was thinking about the bottle, so he didn't notice Dangros' hint.
Dangros: "Are we going to leave now? Or should we continue to wait here?"
Angel said without hesitation: "Let's go."
As for hatred for the Mist Shadow, Nice and the others might be more angry, after all, they had tricked them. As for Angel, he had no direct conflict with the Mist Shadow. Now that Reynolds' body was recovered, it was not important whether to explore the Mist Shadow.
Moreover, Lord Kant also asked him to leave as soon as possible, perhaps because he had foreseen some danger.
Therefore, leaving as soon as possible is the best choice now.
Angel did not hesitate and ran directly towards the exit.
However, not long after Angel left, he heard an angry roar from the corridor in the distance.
Dangros also heard: "The sound seemed to come from the corridor where we were before."
"It was the roar of a beast. It should be the creature that the Mist Shadow had newly possessed in the Monster Garden. Judging from the sound, it should be stronger than the previous fire scale familiar." Angel said casually.
"It should have discovered that Reynolds is not there. Should we go over there?"
Angel shook his head: "No need."
"...What if it catches up?" Dangros hesitated and asked.
Angel stopped immediately after hearing Dangros' question and looked back at the dark corridor.
Although he did not see the beast at this moment, he had heard the sound of footsteps. The ground also felt a slight vibration, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
The mist shadow really caught up.
Just as Angel was thinking this, a tall figure with black smoke all over his body suddenly rushed out from the depths of the corridor and pounced on Angel.
Angel's figure slightly turned to avoid the attack.
Just when he wanted to look back, he saw a palm as big as a fan hitting his face.
Continuing to retreat and dodge, Angel had already taken a posture to fight with the opponent. However, the tall figure did not chase him, but retreated to the side and observed the surroundings with his big eyes like copper bells.
Angel took a step forward, and the opponent continued to slap him, but did not pursue him. Moreover, his eyes were not on Angel at all, but wandered around.
At this time, in a dark corner, Dangros whispered: "Why are you fighting with illusions again? I really don't want to..."
Before Dangros could say the word "face", he saw Toby cast a cold look at it.
Dangros felt a chill and said quickly: "I mean, this is how we should fight. It's great not to waste any energy."
After a pause, Dangros looked at the "illusion" in the distance again: "But, that guy seems to have discovered the illusion used by Mr. Pat and didn't fight with it."
Dangros' words were naturally heard by Angel.
He did notice that the creature that the mist shadow had newly possessed seemed to be much more cautious. It didn't fight the illusion directly, but was observing the surroundings.
It was hard to say whether it had discovered the illusion or was simply cautious and vigilant.
However, speaking of the race that possessed this time, Angel felt that it should not have the ability to see through the illusion.
Gomito was the creature that the mist shadow had newly possessed.
Gomito is a humanoid monster, about three meters tall, with gray skin, and purple blood vessels can be clearly seen under the skin. Its face looks very ferocious, with a huge mouth like a crocodile, fangs protruding outward, no nose bridge, only five parallel nostrils, and eyes occupying half of the face, but only one terrifying single eye.
Overall, Gomito is in line with the general human perception of horror monsters. However, Gomito's own strength and appearance are actually inconsistent, and the gap is even very large.
Gomito, also known as the "heart-eating ghost", is a very low-level monster with low IQ, strong but no combat wisdom. Mortal knights can defeat it as long as they find the right method.
It is not a monster of this world. It usually appears in the southern region, basically in the form of a summoned beast. But this Gomito is obviously not in the form of a summoned beast. It should be captured from other worlds by the base laboratory, and now it has been selected as a new possessed object by the mist shadow.
Before, Angel thought that the mist shadow possessed a monster stronger than the fire scale familiar, but in terms of comprehensive strength, Gomito is actually not much different from the fire scale familiar.
There are many powerful monsters in the Monster Park, but it chose the weak ones. Perhaps Angel's guess is correct. The mist shadow cannot possess too powerful monsters at present.
As for why it can possess Reynolds, maybe it is because Reynolds' soul and body are separated?
It is because of recognizing Gomito that Angel feels that the mist shadow may not see through the illusion, it is just simply cautious. After all, Angel used illusions to trick it on the fifth floor.
However, no matter how cautious it is, it is useless. The absolute strength gap is a gap that cannot be made up by wisdom.
Angel has no time to deal with the mist shadow here, he decided to fight quickly.
He directly released the pressure of the wizard level.
Under the pressure, as long as there is no formal wizard level strength, there is basically no resistance.
However, when Angel thought that the attack would be effective, he suddenly found that Gomito was not trembling as he imagined, but released a strange energy on his body surface. Although this energy could not stop the pressure, it offset the deterrence brought by the pressure.
"This energy... is like the power of the mind." Angel had seen the battle between the divine girl Kafulian and Xia Li in the Sky Mechanical City. At that time, Kafulian transformed into a gorgeous spiritual robe and released the power of the mind. The idealistic concept energy left a deep impression on Angel. After that, Angel never saw a similar power again. I didn't expect that the second time I saw it would be on a weak Gomito!
Moreover, Gomito relied on the power of the mind to resist the pressure he released!
"Mind-eating ghost... the power of the mind..." The two may be related, but Angel believes that ordinary Gomito can never do this. This is the blessing of the mist shadow!
In other words, this is the potential development of Gomito by the mist shadow.
Just like when the mist shadow possessed the fire scale familiar before, it also made the fire scale familiar's ability reach an unprecedented peak.
But think about it carefully, is it really potential development? Does the ordinary Gomito have the potential of spiritual power?
Perhaps this power is hidden in the ancient bloodline, but this deep bloodline power, even the bloodline wizard of the true knowledge level, cannot stimulate the return to the ancestors, right?
This mist shadow... what is the origin? What is the limit of its ability? Can it be applied to all bloodlines?
Angel's interest in this mist shadow had cooled down, but it rose again at this time.
Maybe defeating it is not a good choice, catching it is.
