Chapter 33: Phantom Sword Teleportation

Richard leaned on the back of the sofa and slowly browsed the introduction of these 7 new abilities.

[Super Vision: Telescopic Vision and Perspective]

[Attack Transfer: You can transfer the attack directed at you to other directions, making the attack miss or deflect]

[Air Bullet: Compress the air to create air bullets with power and speed that are not inferior to assault rifles, which can be fired continuously]

[Invisibility: Optical Invisibility]

[Creating Illusions: Use the power of the mind to make the enemy hallucinate]

[Spirit Whip: Use the power of the mind to directly attack the target's mind, making the target feel pain from the mental level, and the body will also feel like being shocked by a strong current]

[Hypnotic Suggestion: Hypnotize the target through the power of the mind, or leave an imperceptible psychological suggestion to the target, so that the target will unconsciously follow your own arrangements]

...

As usual, the introduction given by the system is very simple.

However, this is enough for Richard to know the advantages and disadvantages of these 7 new abilities.

First of all, these 7 superpowers are all beta-level superpowers, which are not low in level.

Secondly, these 7 superpowers can play a good role at a specific time.

Finally, what surprised him the most was that among the 7 superpowers plundered this time, 3 of them were superpowers in the mental field.

In addition to the mental isolation and mental charm he had before, he now has a total of 5 superpowers in the mental field.

If we only look at the number, the mental superpowers he has now are not few.

But unfortunately, these 5 mental superpowers combined are not as good as Professor X.

To be precise, let alone compared with Professor X, there is still a big gap even compared with the White Queen of the Hellfire Club.

Although it is not as good as it is now, Richard firmly believes that as long as he continues to plunder the superpowers in the mental field, sooner or later he will become a psychic who is not inferior to Professor X.

Not only that, his intuition tells him that as long as he plunders a few more superpowers in the mental field, the superpowers in the mental field such as mental isolation, mental charm, illusion creation, hypnotic suggestion, etc. will be integrated into a more comprehensive and more powerful mental power.

Although this is just his intuition, he believes in his intuition.

After browsing the information about the new ability, Richard began to browse the information about the system tasks.

[Task "Devil's Son (II)" has been completed! ]

[Task reward Phantom Sword has been sent! ]

[Obtained new weapon: Phantom Sword! ]

[Phantom Sword: A weapon derived from Virgil, a long sword condensed by magic, it is both a weapon and a skill! ]

…

The system's introduction to the Phantom Sword is as short as ever.

However, for Richard, who already knows what the Phantom Sword is, even if the system does not explain it, he knows very well what abilities the Phantom Sword has and how to use it.

Unlike Dante, Virgil does not like to use firearms.

So, the Phantom Sword became Virgil's main means of long-range attack.

Although it is a sword, Virgil will not use the Phantom Sword for close combat, but will launch the Phantom Sword as a flying sword.

In addition to being used to attack enemies from a distance, the Phantom Sword also has some additional special effects.

For example, restraining enemies, and grabbing objects to teleport yourself or enemies.

It goes without saying that restraining the enemy is used to restrict the enemy's movement.

As for grabbing objects to teleport yourself or the enemy, it is a teleportation ability similar to Flash.

However, unlike Flash, the teleportation of the Phantom Sword has certain limitations.

For example, the Phantom Sword itself needs to be used as a carrier.

When the Phantom Sword hits the enemy, you can choose to teleport yourself to the enemy, or you can choose to let the enemy teleport to yourself.

From another perspective, the Phantom Sword is a bit like the "Flying Thunder God Technique" with reverse teleportation function.

In the game, the Phantom Sword can also be used as a skill, and has several sword formations with different functions and effects.

But the system did not divide the Phantom Sword into skills, but divided it into weapons.

For Richard, this is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Because it means that he only needs to adjust the size of the magic output to make the Phantom Sword play different speeds and powers.

After recalling the various sword formations of the Phantom Sword in his mind, Richard turned off the information panel and immediately began to summon the Phantom Sword.

Although they are both weapons, it is obvious that the phantom sword condensed by magic power is very different from the authentic sword.

The authentic sword is a real physical long sword. Whether it is used or not, the authentic sword will not disappear.

But the phantom sword is different.

Because it is a long sword condensed by magic power, the phantom sword cannot last as long as the authentic sword.

When the magic power condensed by the phantom sword is exhausted, or the phantom sword is launched as a flying sword, a new phantom sword needs to be condensed again.

Although it has not been long since he got the phantom sword, the moment he got the phantom sword, Richard has mastered the method of condensing the phantom sword.

With a thought, the magic power in his body was consumed, and a phantom sword more than one meter long and emitting azure light appeared in his hand.

Looking at the phantom sword that is exactly the same as in his memory, Richard stood up, holding the phantom sword in his right hand, and waved it in the living room.

Although Virgil only used the phantom sword as a long-range attack method, it does not mean that he must do the same as Virgil.

Anyway, the phantom sword is still a sword, and it can be used in close combat.

Although its sharpness cannot be compared with that of an authentic sword, it is not weaker than a metal long sword.

With the skills of using an authentic sword, he used the phantom sword in his right hand smoothly and skillfully, without any discomfort.

If there is any difference, it is that the length of the phantom sword is much shorter than that of the authentic sword, and he needs to re-adapt to the attack distance.

However, this is not a difficult task for him.

After practicing in the living room for a few minutes, he performed a flash and left the living room with the phantom sword.

After flashing several times in succession, he came to a park only two or three kilometers away from the house.

This is a very ordinary small park, and the area is not very large.

Because of the night, there was no one in the park.

After flashing to the park, he looked at a big tree about seventy or eighty meters away from him.

Without any hesitation, he raised his right hand and flicked it lightly, and the phantom sword flew towards the tree like a flying sword.

Whoosh!

The Phantom Sword passed through the air like a blue laser, leaving a fleeting blue line.

In just a moment, the Phantom Sword pierced the tree accurately.

Then, it passed through the trunk and hit another tree dozens of meters away, with more than half of the sword body immersed in the tree trunk.

After seeing this scene, Richard did not hesitate and immediately used the teleportation ability of the Phantom Sword.

The next second, he teleported in front of the tree just like using Flash.

On the surface, Flash and the teleportation of the Phantom Sword are exactly the same, but he soon discovered the difference between the two.

Let's not talk about the essential difference.

From the perspective of teleportation alone, the teleportation of the Phantom Sword is a little "faster" than Flash.

This fast does not mean that the teleportation speed of the Phantom Sword is faster, but that the teleportation of the Phantom Sword does not have the so-called "skill pre-swing" time.

As long as he has the idea of ​​teleportation in his mind, he can teleport to the Phantom Sword in the first time.

When performing Flash, there will be a very short "start-up" time, which has no effect in normal times, but can easily become a fatal weakness in ultra-high-speed battles.

Although this time can be captured and there will not be many enemies that can be damaged in this short time of only a few tenths of a second, this is still a weakness of Flash.

Inesa, who was killed by him with eight swords in a flash in the restaurant parking lot, is a good example.

After experiencing the difference between the teleportation of the Phantom Sword and the Flash, Richard did not immediately return to the unmanned house for sale, but continued to practice the Phantom Sword in the park.

Being able to use it and being able to use it skillfully are two completely different things.

In order to familiarize himself with the use of the Phantom Sword in different situations as soon as possible, he felt that he needed to practice it well.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, starting tomorrow, he will become the most wanted criminal on the wanted list of the Department of Mutant Affairs, second only to Magneto.

When he was practicing the Phantom Sword in the unmanned small park, Cyclops and Storm were driving the iconic Blackbird fighter of the X-Men towards Los Angeles at full speed.

At the same time, Mystique also rushed to Los Angeles with several members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
