Chapter 704: 224.Finished quickly_4
But in reality, Festa had been flying deep into the archipelago the whole time, surrounded by usable earth resources that he was simply unaware of.
It could be said that, in this battle, besides the “Psychic Bombardment” used as a distraction, the most significant contribution came from the 100-level “Sense Tampering” and “Mental Illusion”.
“Sense Tampering” not only caused Festa to lose his flight accuracy but also made him believe he was above the sea surface, unable to cast spells like “Rock Giant Summoning.”
“Mental Illusion” created an imaginary enemy in Festa’s field of vision.
This illusionary adversary cried out things like “caught you” and summoned a rock cage to imprison several targets. Festa thought he had captured Noland, but in reality, he had only caught a few Mechanos near him.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
These Mechanos had been subjected to “Mental Illusion” by Noland, and naturally, they would appear as the person Festa wanted to see in his eyes.
Tools like the “Shield Dissolution Ray” used to break up shields were only for drawing Festa’s attention away, and from the beginning, they weren’t Noland’s real killing moves.
“Now it seems that the mental magic I deconstructed from the ‘River of Mind’ was indeed of low integrity and relatively weak in power. However, just because it doesn’t trigger any mental protection pendants and ignores the backlash of mental magic, it’s enough for me to single-handedly challenge many Seventh Ring Combat Wizards,” Noland pondered.
“For me, the real unreachable wizards to kill, apart from Saint Wizards and Star Witches, are only those Mental Wizards who have mastered the ‘Mental Shield’ spell.
“When the total strength of the ‘Mental Shield’ per second is far greater than the mental damage I can deal from casting the ‘Psychic Bombardment’ 15 times per second, I am left without any means against them. I can only find another way to deal with them. Luckily, the mental magic system in this world has serious drawbacks, and only I can use them almost without any cost.”
Suddenly, the nearby sea surface stirred with ripples.
Wearing a water-blue liquid robe, Selena emerged from the water, dripping with droplets.
Her delicate high-heeled feet stood on the water’s surface as she gazed at the calm Noland, an extremely complex expression on her face.
“Festa… is dead…” Selena said, somewhat bitter.
“Yes, he’s dead,” Noland replied as he turned around, his gaze passing through the trees and smiling at Selena:
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here. In the soul contract, I promised to help you clear out all criminals in the Suman Archipelago, consolidate your authority in the Deep Sea Branch, and take control of the islands. I keep my word, Selena. In the future, many more lawless wizard forces will fall. Be prepared for that. All criminals will be killed on the spot by me during the violent resistance against law enforcement.”
“But…” Selena opened her mouth, not knowing where to start.
Noland is right. All those who violently resist in law enforcement will be killed by the Enforcement Wizards, according to the No. 1 Wizard Law which grants such privileges.
But somehow…
Selena felt something was odd.
It was as if Noland’s definition of “law enforcement” and the meaning of “law enforcement” mentioned in the Ulnas Ring Law were not the same.
“You remind me of those Pale Knights who, in the name of ‘justice,’ spare no effort,” Selena managed to find some words to express her thoughts.
“Hmm, I feel that way too. But I’m more rational than them. I only attack the enemies within my capabilities,” Noland clapped and said:
“Alright, let’s end our conversation here, my lady. We need to clean up the scene as soon as possible and return to the Core Circle. At the latest by tomorrow morning, Young Master Fagen will notice that he’s missing a leg.”
Selena pursed her lips and nodded slowly:
“Alright, I will erase the traces of the battle.”
She looked up at the sky and noticed a patch of dark clouds emerging from behind the thin clouds.
Noland followed her gaze and smiled unconcernedly:
“Don’t worry about it, my lady. I can handle it. It’s just a little trick I researched during my free time. I originally wanted to test its power in the battle, but Festa didn’t give me a chance…”
“You call this a little trick…” Selena’s eyebrows twitched, and her eyes showed a hint of awe when she looked at Noland.
Due to the distance between her and Noland before, Selena didn’t see the process of Noland summoning the thunder and lightning energy.
However, she only saw the rapidly growing dark cloud in the sky.
She knew very well the power of thunder and lightning contained within that cloud.
Selena’s mind flashed back to the magic experiment accident a few days ago, which led to the charred magic laboratory.
She took a slight breath and said shakily:
“That isn’t the thunder and lightning magic you researched a few days ago, is it?”
Noland neither confirmed nor denied, shook his hand, concentrating on checking his Magic Pouch and tallying his gains.
Seeing Noland unwilling to talk more about it, Selena steadied the turmoil within her and submerged into the sea to erase the traces of the previous battle.
