Chapter 590 High-Intensity Psychic Duel

After seeing the pair of eyes glowing with blue psychic light, Amber directly relied on 'muscle memory' to activate her own 'psionic shielding' effect without even thinking about it - this was a PVP flag-raising between players in the game. standard operation.

The pair of eyes that light up in the psychic black hole are a symbol that the other party has turned on their 'psionic vision'. For an unknown unit suspected of being a sixth-level psyker, their 'psionic vision' is no longer small. It's so simple, but you can obtain a large amount of target information through this ability.

Therefore, Amber's approach is to use psychic energy to cover herself, hinder the opponent's information acquisition, and prevent herself from being disadvantaged in subsequent conflicts that may break out.

Although the 'psionic shield' derived from the 'stealth' skill tree of the psyker cannot shield the entire surrounding area with itself as the center of the circle like the 'psionic black hole', and at the same time block the psychic waves emitted by the opponent. It is directly absorbed, but if it is just to cover the user himself, it can still be done, especially when the difference in spiritual strength between the two parties is not that of cloud and mud, the effect is very good.

At the moment when the 'psionic shielding' was completed, Amber suddenly remembered Saleh beside her. After this period of recuperation, his psychic strength was actually infinitely close to level seven.

As this think tank deacon is not a full-time combatant, nor is he very good at fighting, so he is not very helpful in the battle, but in any case, he is a real high-level psyker, so Amber immediately He turned to look at her.

"Saleh, use the 'psionic black hole' to cover us!"

"What?"

Under the link of 'Spiritual Shackles', Saleh, who already knew that the situation was not good at the moment, was a little panicked, but still entered the fighting state immediately. However, he was still stunned after hearing Amber's order. In place.

"'Psychic Black Hole'! Don't tell me you don't know this skill."

"I'm sorry, I've never heard of Amber's psychic skills."

Saleh said with some embarrassment. At the same time, he was also searching quickly in the memory palace, fearing that he had forgotten all this because he had been frozen for too long.

After hearing Saleh's answer, Amber was also a little confused. He did not expect that the Jerram people had the most thorough development of psychic powers in this universe, and they were also called the most powerful people in the current human and elven worlds. A 'monster' quasi-level 7 psyker doesn't know about the 'psionic black hole'.

Then, Amber realized that maybe the "psionic black hole" thing was discovered by humans and elves on their own, so the "old frozen meat" around them didn't know how to use it.

Thinking of this, Amber first pulled Saleh behind her and kept her close to her, trying to make the effect of 'psionic shielding' more or less cover her body, and then said quickly:

"Then among those psychic skills you know, is there a skill that can cover both of us at the same time and temporarily block all detection methods including psychic powers?"

"have!"

Saleh nodded quickly, then opened his hands, and a strange spiritual energy was quickly released with her as the center of the circle, and quickly covered a circular area with a radius of 5 meters.

"The 'curtain' has been opened!"

"?"

If he could express emotions at this time, a question mark might appear on Amber's head, because what Saleh is using at this moment is a psychic skill that he has never seen in the game.

There are many psychic skills of the Forerunners in the game, but they are all incomplete or incomplete skills.

And in order to take care of the gameplay, most of what players get are some 'stances' that increase the excitement of melee combat - that is, the only ones Amber used in the battle to capture Saleh were the Forerunner elite warriors, the ancient empire royals Fighting moves that can only be used by guards, or even 'sword guards'.

There are not many psychic skills similar to 'spells' in traditional cognition, so the 'curtain' that Saleh is using now is a completely new thing for Amber.

Although this psychic skill is always easy for Amber to play in other games

It was also because of the existence of the 'spiritual shackles' that Amber quickly figured out the effect of the 'curtain'.

This is a psychic technique that is very similar to the 'psionic black hole', but it will not swallow up other psychic waves, nor will it be able to detect the general direction like a psychic black hole, although it cannot be detected.

Rather, like a real curtain, it can truly cover the target you want to cover without changing or affecting the surrounding environment.

"This thing's a magical group 'stealth' skill!"

Amber's eyes suddenly lit up because he realized that this technique could create a huge information gap advantage in confrontations between psychics, especially in multi-person confrontations.

However, he also knew that this was not an opportunity to learn, so while Saleh's 'curtain' was opening, he also led this forerunner to quickly go around the side of the unknown psyker.

——

"Huh? The target disappeared?"

The 'Puppet Master', who was protected by several puppets wearing power armor, was stunned for a moment when he saw the sign language spoken by the tall figure wearing a cloak next to him.

This powerful psyker, who even he did not dare to inquire about his origins and details, had just told him that there were other people deep in the core area of ​​this research institute.

But after just over ten seconds, the 'other people' disappeared.

At a certain moment, the 'Puppet Master' even doubted whether the powerful high-level psyker beside him had made a mistake in judgment or had an illusion?

But when he thought about the opponent's at least level six psychic strength, the 'Puppet Master' felt that the opponent would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

On the other side, the tall psyker was still speaking sign language to the 'puppet master' quickly and skillfully.

"It's not an illusion, but some kind of psychic skill that I haven't seen before. It hides the opponent? The opponent's strength cannot be underestimated?!"

The 'Puppet Master' quickly interpreted the meaning of this string of sign language, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

In his opinion, the strength of the psyker next to him can be said to be unfathomable, and he is also the strongest psyker he has ever seen.

If even he said that the opponent's strength 'should not be underestimated', then the problem would be a bit big.

"Then let's evacuate first and then make plans?"

After the previous encounter with Amber, the 'Puppet Master', as a senior cadre of the Quest for Truth Foundation, had a drastic change in temperament and became much more 'steady', so at this moment he also took the initiative to propose that the team withdraw first.

"No, we are here with a mission, and we must get the things."

The tall psyker rejected the 'Puppet Master's' proposal without hesitation, and then walked towards the inside of the core area without hesitation.

"Tsk"

The puppet master, who did not dare to be angry and could not get angry, could only complain a few words in his heart with "incompetent rage" at this moment, and then was forced to command his puppets to follow the pace of the psyker in front.

The closer they get to the core area, the more the 'Puppet Master' feels that there is a mysterious and evil spiritual energy wandering around in the core area.

The psychic energy was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, spitting out cold messages that made people shudder. The 'Puppet Master' was vigilant and carefully shuttled through the intricate corridors and cabins, trying to locate the source of this aura.

And inside the core area of ​​the institute, in a dark corner, Amber and Saleh were like hunters hiding in the darkness, watching their every move closely, waiting for the best opportunity to take action.

The battle between the two sides also started suddenly without warning.

Since the Foundation team didn't know what guidance they got, after leaving the gate area they walked straight towards the core data room that Saleh pointed out to Amber, so Amber finally had to choose to 'strike first'.

After all, he came here to dig out some good things from the institute, so he never wanted people from the foundation to get valuable items first.

But at the beginning of the battle, the situation turned extremely unfavorable to Amber and Saleh in an instant.

The mysterious unknown psyker was like a ghost, reacting the moment Amber launched the attack from the 'veil'.

On the battle suit of his right arm stretched out from under the cloak, a circle of complex but extremely familiar words to Amber and Saleh suddenly lit up.

"Jerramwen?!" Saleh exclaimed.

The next second, a special psychic wave formed in the right arm of the mysterious psyker, which bombarded Amber, who had been unable to avoid it, and the moment it came into contact with him, a psychic shock condensed in his palm. 'It suddenly dimmed.

"Is this a counterattack?"

The attack was interrupted and Amber, who had to retract into the 'curtain', was also extremely surprised.

Because what this mysterious psyker just used was one of the few Forerunner psionic skills in the game.

The effect is also very simple and crude, which is to 'invalidate' the target's psychic attack.

This incident made Amber instantly realize that the difficulty of the current battle might be much greater than he thought before taking action.

The ensuing battle with this mysterious psyker quickly confirmed Amber's suspicion.

After activating the 'countermeasure', this mysterious psyker 'escaped with one blow' and quickly entered the 'stealth' state, hiding his body without a trace except for sharp 'spiritual spikes' like blue. Colorful lightning cut through the darkness and shot towards Amber's position.

Although Amber was aware of it with his keen psychic perception, the opponent's attack was so sudden that he could only dodge sideways in a hurry.

The psychic spikes flew past his combat uniform, and the sharp whistling sound was like the whisper of death, drawing a deep ravine on the metal wall behind him and splashing a string of sparks as dazzling as fireworks.

"Be careful, Amber! The other party's psychic power is very strong!"

Upon seeing this, Saleh shouted lowly and immediately released a psychic shield around Amber.

"I see, you should be careful. This enemy is definitely not simple."

On the other side, after the 'Puppet Master' received the order asking him to feint attack, although he was unhappy to be commanded by this airborne psyker, he had no nonsense and took action immediately.

Suddenly, the human puppets controlled by psychic powers came like a flood from all directions.

Compared with the previous Foundation puppet soldiers in the think tank, the puppet equipment this time has obviously undergone a round of upgrades, and heavy units wearing power armor have appeared.

Their eyes were hollow under the battle masks, as if their souls had been sucked out, but their movements were extremely agile. They were holding various deadly weapons and making mechanical roars from their mouths as they rushed towards Amber and Saleh crazily.

"It's time to start mowing the grass again."

Amber took a deep breath, concentrated her energy, and fully mobilized her psychic power. After reaching the fifth level of psychic power, the psyker's ability to influence the material world was also greatly enhanced.

Even a trick like 'retrieving objects from the air', in actual combat, the intensity soars like a rocket.

Some discarded metal objects around him gathered and dispersed. They seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, gathering into a metal "dark cloud" in the air, and then rained down on the puppets.

Although "psychic lightning" is Amber's strongest "AOE" skill at present, its high psychic reserve consumption rate also makes Amber not want to use this precious psychic skill on these combat puppets.

The metal objects collided with the puppets, making a dull sound, and from time to time there were limbs broken by the "metal storm" splashing, but the combat puppets of the foundation did not retreat. Under the control of the "puppet master", they continued to rush forward.

Seeing that the "metal storm" gathered by Amber was at risk of being submerged by the combat puppets, Saleh did not dare to hold back any more. Four transparent prismatic crystals quickly flew out from the back of her combat suit.

As a visible psychic energy was transmitted from the combat suit to these transparent crystals, blue psychic rays were immediately emitted from the crystals. These rays were like precise high-energy lasers, carrying deadly energy and accurately hitting the heads of the combat puppets.

Since the puppeteers controlled these combat puppets by controlling the opponent's brain and central nervous system, attacking the head was also the most efficient attack method.

Every time a ray of light hit a puppet, it would make a slight "sizzling" sound, accompanied by a flash of psychic energy, and some puppets were instantly paralyzed on the ground, like puppets with broken strings.

Under the attack of the "metal storm" and psychic rays, the combat puppets of the Foundation fell like dominoes, but no matter how many were eliminated by Amber and Saleh, new combat puppets continued to pour in from the distant passage gate to fill the gap, seemingly endlessly.

"How many combat puppets did the Gan Foundation bring? Could it be that all their research ships are equipped with these puppets?"

Amber used his psychic power to control the 'Metal Storm' to quickly harvest the combat puppets, and couldn't help but complain. This was also a common way for him to relieve stress during battles.

At the same time, he did not forget to be wary of the mysterious psychic who sneaked into the darkness, because he knew that the one who could really play a decisive role was this guy whose psychic strength and combat skills were not inferior to his current stage.
