Chapter 654: Moths to the Flame
"Huh Meow? Is it the Mind Cube? I have a lot of Meows here~"
After Akashi heard Lin Lan's words, although she didn't understand why her commander wanted the Mental Cube at this time, the little profiteer still stood up and took out two blue Mental Cubes from her ship's storage space. Pass it over.
Lin Lan reached out and took over the two blue cubes containing white light particles. He watched that the light particles inside were the same as before, circling at a faster speed as if they were activated after coming into contact with him.
Nagato, Musashi and others were naturally accustomed to such a scene, but Yun Xian looked at Lin Lan with burning eyes, as if he believed in a certain judgment more firmly in his heart.
Seeing that everyone was curious about asking for the Mind Cube from him, Lin Lan briefly told everyone about his experience of meeting Abbott with Hu Teng and Mainz:
"I met the leader of the Demon King's army in Oran before, and that monster seemed to have been controlled by the Siren at that time."
"And before it was killed, I saw... there was a Yuan Rubik's Cube in its body."
His words made Musashi understand in an instant why he asked Akashi for the Mental Cube. The big fox girl put her eyes on the Mental Cube in his hand and couldn't help but ask:
"Commander, do you mean that the power of the Mind Cube can, like the Yuan Cube, replace the X-contaminated substance that originally maintained the Demon King's life?"
"Yes, I think you can try it."
Lin Lan looked at Musashi in slight surprise. He didn't expect Musashi to understand his thoughts so quickly.
However, Akashi twitched his little ears and said to him:
"But Commander, when the Demon King was being transported in the storage space of our ship, he came into contact with the Mental Cube. The Demon King did not have any chemical reaction with the Mental Cube, Meow."
Hearing what Akashi said, Lin Lan shrugged and replied with a smile:
"Let's treat a dead horse as a live doctor. Maybe the Mind Cube will work better in my hands."
Lin Lan wasn't joking when he said this. After all, he already knew when he was at White Eagle that his body was extremely adaptable to the Rubik's Cube.
Maybe the Mental Rubik's Cube can have some magical effects in his hands?
After that, the white light particles in the two mental cubes in his hands have been completely activated.
Even the high-speed circling of these gorgeous light particles caused the entire Rubik's Cube to tremble slightly in his hand.
Lin Lan knew it was almost done, so he squatted down in front of the Demon King lying on the ground and placed two mental cubes on the Demon King's abdomen and forehead.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
At the same time that the two mental cubes were released from his hands, Lin Lan suddenly felt that the surrounding light had dimmed.
And a hoarse roar suddenly exploded:
【This is in vain——】
"Be careful! It's an invisible breath!"
Unzen's urgent reminder was followed by the "swish" sound of the sharp blades in Hakuryuu and Mikasa's hands being unsheathed.
Hundreds of dark blue and fluorescent blue butterflies, mixed with purple beating energy currents, also surrounded him.
Unzen, Musashi and Shinano have all summoned their ship suits to protect him behind them.
Lin Lan stood up and looked around, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
At some point, the shadows of the shrine walls in the morning sun began to creep toward them, as if they had been given life.
A black shadow holding a long blade also condensed from these black shadows, roaring silently and rushing towards them.
"Everyone, protect the commander!"
At the same time Mikasa said these words, Hakuryuu was already laughing and waving the blue Odachi in his hand, releasing dozens of green sword energy to attack these black figures.
"Hahaha! I've been waiting for you!"
Bailong laughed loudly and cut three humanoid shadows in half with one knife, and the sword energy she wielded was as powerful as breaking bamboo, smashing seven or eight shadows into pieces.
She had already heard Ibuki and Shimanto, who were both on the research ship, talk about the battle with the Invisible Breath, and she had been looking forward to such a powerful enemy for a long time.
"White Dragon! Don't go to the black shadow area at the feet of those black shadows!"
When Yun Xian saw Bai Long rushing into the enemy's formation so bravely, he quickly warned him.
"Okay! Don't worry, Great Sage!"
Bailong responded loudly. Although she was high-spirited to fight, she was not the type to get carried away when fighting.
The humanoid black shadows coming from the other direction were mostly defeated by the combined offensive of blue butterflies and purple thunder and lightning from the two sisters Shinano and Musashi.
Mikasa was even blessed with a layer of golden barrier by Nagato through the secret technique of Sakura, and she was able to block the attack of a humanoid black shadow alone.
【This is in vain——】
【This is in vain——】
【This is in vain——】
Black roars continued to come from all directions, but Lin Lan clearly felt that the voice of the invisible breath and penumbra at this time lacked the majestic momentum when he first arrived here.
The combat effectiveness of these humanoid black shadows created by the invisible breath was also very unbearable. They were easily defeated without even using the ship's main gun or carrier-based aircraft.
Yun Xian did not take action, but held the Odachi and guarded Lin Lan, Nagato and Akashi closely.
"Lord Commander, have you noticed that the fragmented will of the Invisible Breath seems to be strongly attracted by something, rushing towards here like a moth to a flame."
Lin Lan heard Yunxian's words and finally understood why he felt that the combat power of the invisible breath surrounding them was so stretched.
That's right. It was clear that the fragments of the breath were defeated by Yunxian and Musashi not long ago. It was obviously not normal for them to come back in such a short time. It was completely like they were attracted by something and wanted to fight to the death.
"Could it be the mind cube?"
Lin Lan thought of this possibility at the first time, but when he turned his eyes away from the battlefield where Bailong and others were fighting fiercely and looked at the Demon King, he was suddenly stunned.
He raised his hand to wipe his eyes and asked Akashi blankly:
"Akashi, did you take back the mind cube just now?"
"Meow? No, meow?"
After answering with a confused look, the little profiteer also looked at the Demon King lying on the ground. He was so scared that he hugged Lin Lan tightly:
"Commander, where are the two mind cubes meow?!"
And Akashi's exclamation attracted the attention of Yunxian and Nagato.
They only then realized that when their attention was attracted by the attack of the invisible breath, the two mind cubes had disappeared silently.
"Did the Mind Cubes get stolen by the Breath?"
Nagato, who looked solemn, had just spoken when Lin Lan, who had calmed down, looked at the humanoid black shadows that were still rushing towards him, and said while stroking his chin and thinking:
"No, if the invisible breath really stole the two Mind Cubes, it would definitely not be possible to continue charging at such a desperate speed."
"Yunxian, please check the Demon King's body again to see if there are any changes in her body now compared to before."
