Chapter 499: The Eagle Catches the Chicken

From the initial shock of seeing Ethan, to seeing that the arrows he shot also had an effect on the ascenders, to now seeing Ethan being chased by arrows and dodging everywhere, Ilyus' mood has been ups and downs.

The arrows he shot are called [Withering Arrows]. Although they have no attack power, they can devour the consciousness of creatures.

Once a person is hit by too many arrows, his consciousness will be stripped from his body until he becomes an idiot, with only a soulless body left.

In the end, the creature will gradually wither and die like a flower that has lost water.

For ordinary people, three [Withering Arrows] can make them completely lose consciousness.

Even for extraordinary strong men, no one has been able to eat more than forty [Withering Arrows] so far.

Now that nearly two hundred [Withering Arrows] have been shot, it can be basically concluded that Ethan is dead.

The reason why Ilyus is so confident is that he knows that once the [Withering Arrows] lock the soul, they will always follow the target and fight to the death.

Since it is effective for ascenders, it is impossible to avoid it without corresponding protective measures.

Even if Ethan can hide for a while now, he can never hide forever.

But even so, Ilysius was still worried and shot hundreds of arrows in succession until most of his magic power was consumed before he dared to stop.

"Has Emile been killed by you?"

"How did our Sheffield family offend you?"

"Why do you want to do things to such an irreversible point?"

...

Ilysius got some free time and asked questions one after another.

However, Ethan ignored it and focused on dodging arrows.

Seeing this, Ilysius shouted: "Why don't you reply?

I tell you, now is your last chance to speak."

"That's not necessarily true!" Ethan finally replied, and quickly dodged the arrows.

"Do you think you still have a chance to survive?" Ilysius laughed disdainfully.

"How do you know if you don't try anything?"

As he spoke, Ethan dodged, leaving a golden figure behind.

When the golden figure appeared, the time and space in the [Duel Cage] suddenly solidified, and the flying sand and the charging arrows suddenly stopped at that moment.

At that moment, Ethan looked back at the arrows that stopped and solidified in the air, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, the golden figure shattered, and everything immediately returned to its original state and moved again.

It seemed that nothing had changed, but Ilysius suddenly opened his eyes wide, because he found that the arrows were like possessed. When they were about to hit Ethan, they suddenly turned in the air and rushed towards him.

He wanted to escape, but the heavy armor provided infinite defense, but also made him as heavy as a mountain.

The next second, hundreds of arrows passed through him, and hundreds of translucent shadows were instantly shot out.

The body of the mud armor man suddenly became like a wooden man, stiff on the spot.

Ethan saw it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, he used the time to leave a shadow, temporarily fixed a space and time, and took advantage of the breathing gap to use illusion to confuse the arrows with self-consciousness, making them mistakenly think that Ilysius was him.

This trick really worked. The arrows turned their heads and rushed towards Ilysius, nailing Ilysius into a wooden man at that time.

"With so many arrows hitting the consciousness, he should be dead!"

Ethan muttered to himself, but immediately frowned again.

Because he found that the phantoms that were nailed out were tall, short, fat, and thin. In short, they were all different.

This was completely different from the three identical phantoms that were nailed out by him at the beginning.

Obviously, this means that the arrows did not hit the consciousness of one person, but the consciousness of a group of people.

Ethan didn't understand why Ilysius had the consciousness of so many people, but he knew that the other party should not be dead.

Sure enough, after a short stiffness, the mud armor man began to move again.

And it turned into white dots like catkins again, and soon condensed into a fist-sized white ball.

The ball spun at high speed, and then slowly floated towards Ethan.

Halfway through, suddenly, with a bang, it exploded, and countless white beads the size of rice grains splashed everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Ethan immediately used the time recording again.

This time, everything was not frozen, but running at a very slow speed.

Facing the dense rain of white balls, Ethan walked through it leisurely.

While walking, he asked Catherine: "Do these little beads have self-awareness?"

"No!"

After getting confirmation, Ethan raised his eyebrows and passed through the white balls more calmly.

Ethan escaped this disaster, but the maid who came with Elihus was not so lucky.

When the battle started just now, she hid in a corner. Ethan and Elihus didn't care about her, and even deliberately avoided her, so she was able to move around safely until now.

But now the white ball attacked indiscriminately, and she could no longer avoid it.

When the white ball passed through her body, dozens of phantoms were instantly shot out.

Her originally terrified eyes lost their luster at that time, and her body collapsed as if she was dead.

However, her heart was still beating normally.

Ethan glanced at the woman, sighing that this attack on consciousness was really vicious, and at the same time he was very glad that his guess was correct.

These white beads, like the arrows, directly attack people's consciousness.

The only difference is that arrows have the ability to track, but these white beads do not.

After a burst of pear blossom rain, perhaps because they saw that this trick was ineffective against Ethan, the scattered white beads turned into white dots like willow catkins again and began to condense again.

After a while, it condensed into a hedgehog half a person's height.

The hedgehog shrank its head and feet into a big round ball, and rolled towards Ethan with a puff, puff.

Ethan retreated and threw two sword energies at the hedgehog. As a result, the sword energy hit the hedgehog, not only did not break the defense, but also made the spikes on its body explode.

And I don't know what happened, the flying spikes flew towards him without bias.

Ethan was worried that the spikes also had the ability to devour consciousness, so he didn't dare to block, but only dared to dodge, and at the same time threw a flame explosion at the hedgehog.

With a "bang", the flame exploded on the hedgehog, and it also did not hurt the inside, but blew the spikes flying.

Just like before, no matter which direction you attack from, the flying spikes must be counterattacked in the direction of the attacker.

Ethan finally understood it. This is similar to his [The Way of the Other], as long as you are attacked, it will be returned.

The only difference is that [The Way of the Other] returns the enemy's skills, while this hedgehog returns its spikes.

After understanding everything, Ethan did not launch another attack, but just kept dodging the opponent's collision.

But if Ethan did not attack, the hedgehog would roll and shoot out spikes, and the spikes on its body were like leeks, shooting one crop and growing another, endlessly.

Ethan was quite helpless at this time. He could not fight or retreat, and could only play the game of eagle catching chickens with the hedgehog.

The worst thing was that he played the role of the chicken and was chased all over the ground...
