Chapter 498: Desperate Place

Ilysius saw a tall, bearded man walking out of the woods, and he suddenly felt dazed.

He shook his head gently, then smiled disdainfully.

"Pupil illusion? Very interesting! Who are you from the Borgia family? I don't think I've seen you before!"

Ethan thought it was a pity, and wanted to use the same trick as before, just like he did with Emile, first use illusion to freeze the opponent, and then cut off his head with a sword.

But this trick doesn't seem to work well for magicians, just like the magician who fought against the orcs before, and it's the same now.

There's no way, it seems that I can only choose to attack by force.

Ethan didn't reply, but took off a bracelet from his hand and threw it out, and then his whole body was shining with golden light, and it flashed away.

Seeing the golden light, Elihu immediately knew who the person was.

Although he had never seen Ethan, he also knew that Ethan was an ascender.

Seeing the other party take action as soon as they met, he was immediately shocked.

However, Ilysius was a wise man after all, and had experienced many battles when he was young, so he reacted immediately.

When Ethan appeared, the sword had already slashed in front of him. If he had moved forward a little more, he could have cut off his head.

But at that moment, a humanoid creature made of white plasticine suddenly appeared in front of him.

The humanoid creature quickly wrapped around Ilysius and merged with him at the critical moment.

The next second, the plasticine man was directly split into two, but Ilysius was not seen inside.

The plasticine that was split into two halves began to emit a strange light path, and then it began to crawl towards each other like a worm, as if it was about to merge together again.

Ethan didn't know what the hell this was, but seeing that they were about to merge, he immediately stepped back a few steps, and then threw two flame explosions at the mud block.

Suddenly, two silent golden thunders fell,

"Boom, boom!"

Accompanied by two loud noises, two flames shot up into the sky, blasting two large pits where the mud block was before.

Looking at it again, the mud block had already been blown to ashes, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

However, seeing this scene, Ethan did not feel that he had succeeded. He just frowned and stared at the two deep pits, because he could feel that the other party was not dead.

Sure enough, not long after, white dots began to float around the deep pits, looking like catkins in spring flying in the wind.

They became more and more, and finally condensed into the shape of a white mud man.

Although they were all mud men, their appearance was completely different from before.

The mud man at this time was like a warrior covered with heavy armor, with a pair of sharp horns bent forward on his head.

There was also a longbow on his right hand that was integrated with his forearm, and it was in a full bow state.

There were three hollow tubes on the full bow, and the tubes were dark. I only felt that there was something inside, but I couldn't see what it was.

Ethan looked at the monster that appeared in front of him, and his brows were knitted tighter.

He was sure that the clay figure that had just appeared must be a creature from the plane, but he didn't know what it was, and of course he didn't know the other party's ability.

"Catherine, do you know what kind of apostle this is?" Ethan asked Catherine through telepathy.

But although Catherine knew a lot of other knowledge, she was extremely unfamiliar with plane creatures, so she didn't know anything.

Fortunately, Claude, who came with him, knew him.

"Master, that is the sixth-ranked [Scavenger] in the spiritual system. It can devour the consciousness of other creatures."

Devour consciousness?

"Why is the Wind Spirit Sword in your hand?"

Before Ethan could think about it, the clay man shouted and interrupted his thoughts.

Ethan glanced at the sword in his hand, then smiled and said, "Guess?"

Before he finished speaking, the man had disappeared from the spot, and the next moment an invisible sword had slashed the back of the neck of the clay man.

"Ding" sound.

The armor that looked like mud was actually stronger than iron. When it hit each other, it only made a sound of gold and iron, but it could not be broken.

However, although the armor was not broken, the mud-armored man was hit by the great force from the sword and flew far away.

In mid-air, the mud-armored man turned around and shot several dark red arrows at Ethan.

Ethan immediately blocked with his sword, intending to return the power of the arrows after blocking, but the dark red arrows actually went straight through the Wind Spirit Sword and then went straight through his golden body.

Although it did not cause any damage, after the arrows passed through the body, it could be seen that they brought out a group of translucent human-shaped things from the body, which looked like a phantom of him.

This time, a total of three arrows were shot, and after passing through the body, three phantoms were nailed out.

Ethan was shocked by this scene. He did not understand what a phantom was, and was shocked that the other party could take advantage of the ascending posture.

"Master! Those phantoms are a little bit of your consciousness!" Claude's voice sounded in his ears.

"Consciousness? That kind of arrow actually attacks consciousness directly?"

Ethan didn't have time to think about it, and three dark red arrows flew at him.

This time, Ethan didn't block it again, but quickly dodged it and rushed towards the opponent.

Who knew that the three dark red arrows, after missing the first shot, turned in the air and flew back again as if they had a brain.

When the mud-armored man saw Ethan rushing towards him, he shot three more arrows.

Ethan was immediately attacked from both sides and could only dodge to one side.

But the arrows still followed him like a shadow, and the number doubled, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Ethan could only dodge again.

When the mud-armored man saw Ethan dodging, he shot arrows continuously. In just a moment, he shot hundreds of arrows.

Those arrows were like a flock of birds, shining red, and kept swooping towards Ethan.

At this time, Ethan felt miserable!

All his skills were in blocking, but when he encountered such a means of directly attacking consciousness, he could not block it and could only dodge continuously.

But dodging like this was not a solution. The opponent was still shooting arrows, and the space here was limited.

If he continued to shoot, sooner or later the arrows would fill the entire space of the [Duel Cage].

At that time, not only would it be unavoidable, but the consciousness would be hit by so many arrows, and I am afraid that the consciousness might dissipate on the spot.

Now the only way is to quickly deal with the mud-armored man. Without his command, these arrows will fall without attack.

But... the opponent's defense...

Thinking of the opponent's defense, Ethan felt even more miserable.

The characteristics of being good at defense but not good at attack were infinitely magnified in an instant.

At this moment, he desperately needed a trick that could kill with one strike, but unfortunately he didn't have it. This is how the world is. Whatever you have, you will definitely lose accordingly.

What to do?

Just as Ethan's mind was spinning rapidly, Catherine came to make up for it: "Master, you think too much!

Even if you kill that clay man, those arrows will still follow you, and follow you for life.

Because they are not commanded by the clay man, but because each one has self-awareness."

"What? What did you say?" Ethan asked while dodging.

"I said it's useless for you to kill the clay man!"

"Not this sentence, the last sentence."

"They all have self-awareness!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I can still hear them chatting happily! They said... your soul smells good!"

Ethan was not angry but happy when he heard this...
