Chapter 4134 Illusory Mist Clouds
The rabbit girl had jumped into the air to attract Nereid's attention.
After receiving the message from Gray Porcelain through the telepathic connection, he turned and fled almost without hesitation.
At the same time, Angor manipulated the illusion nodes to create several accelerating cloud cushions in mid-air, and the rabbit girl stepped on them without hesitation.
First cloud cluster acceleration, second cloud cluster acceleration...
When the bunny girl stepped on the third cloud in a row, her speed in mid-air was almost like a shadow.
Like a swift weaving through a storm, constantly shifting and turning amidst flashes of lightning.
The whistling sound generated by the gas explosion also distracted Nereid multiple times, slowing down its release of the Lightning Punishment.
By the time Nereid summoned the lightning spear and it pierced the ground from mid-air, the rabbit girl had already escaped and reunited with Gray Porcelain and Angel.
The instant the rabbit girl entered the elemental field, Angor manipulated the elemental field to transform it into a "lightning elemental field".
next second.
This area, which is five meters long and five meters wide, was enveloped by a lightning dome.
This is the dome coverage area of the lightning element field that Angor deliberately modified.
The elemental field can be reduced in size and expanded in size. The smaller it is, the higher the elemental concentration and the thicker the dome becomes.
The five-meter-long and five-meter-wide dome now has a very high concentration of lightning element. Being inside it is like wearing cheap sunglasses, surrounded by a black and blue mist.
This elemental field can reach a maximum size of 20 meters in both length and width. However, if it were enlarged to that extent, the outer dome would likely be just a thin layer of lightning, and the dome's external defense would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it is best to maintain the elemental field at a length and width of five meters.
As they all took refuge inside the lightning element dome, streaks of lightning emerged from the sky, all pointing towards the dome!
Full of deterrence!
The three people locked onto by the lightning spear all felt a tingling sensation in their spines, which was their bodies sending them a signal.
If they were to face such terrifying lightning punishment, they would surely die!
This is an experience I've never had, even in a simulation.
After all, a fake is a fake.
Moreover, when Angell created the simulation field before, he had not personally witnessed the awe-inspiring power of the Thunder Punishment, nor did he expect that such power could cause the body to have a stress response.
Angel is now very grateful that he had previously cast a Nightmare Illusion on Gray Porcelain, which temporarily affected his mood.
Otherwise, the mere presence of divine might before it even descended would have made his knees buckle.
As for the rabbit girl, Angor doesn't need to worry. She can share the memories of all other incarnations, including her original self. In a sense, she has "experienced" more enemies than Angor has eaten.
Nereid was still an opponent she had encountered in her "memory," and this bit of intimidation had no effect on her.
Angell glanced back and, sure enough, the rabbit girl's expression was calm, her eyes like dark pools, facing the terrifying lightning punishment without fear.
Suddenly, the rabbit girl's eyes turned white from the flash of electricity.
Because divine punishment has finally arrived.
In the blink of an eye, countless bolts of lightning in the sky transformed into electric snakes, falling like dense raindrops onto the elemental field.
That terrifying lightning strike crashed down from the dome of the sky.
At this moment, even Gray Porcelain, whose tension was overshadowed by the nightmare illusion, let out a hint of worry from his impenetrable defenses.
Can the lightning element field really withstand such divine power?
Soon, the answer was found for gray porcelain.
The terrifying lightning, capable of annihilating life, was like a bouncy ball hitting bubble gum the moment it touched the lightning element dome. With a bounce and a stick, countless lightning snakes slid down from the sloping curved surface of the dome.
A crackling sound of electricity rippled across the ground surrounding the dome.
The sudden burst of stark white light even illuminated the dark blue dome, making it glow.
The outside of the dome was a sea of lightning, but the inside of the dome remained completely unscathed.
In fact, not even a storm was stirred up.
Seeing this, Gray Porcelain, who was initially a little worried, instantly showed a joyful expression, cheered loudly, and gave high fives to the rabbit girl and Angel!
You dodged it!
The Thunder Punishment was neutralized by their elemental field!
As expected, Nereid's elemental attacks were neutralized by shields of the same element!
It truly only unleashes attacks, offering no benefit whatsoever to elemental control or interference. In fact, even highly concentrated elemental attacks can be disrupted by elemental concentrations of ordinary gradients.
Even wizard apprentices can master the basic knowledge, but Nereid, the elemental rainbow dragon, has not mastered it.
As expected, the title of "Dragon of Trash" was well-deserved.
However, amidst his joy and reflections, Ingres was also pondering a question.
They can create elemental concentration gradients by setting up elemental fields to avoid Nereid's homogeneous attacks.
What should other challengers do when they encounter Nereid unleashing his Thunder Punishment?
Not everyone knows how to set up a magic array.
Even the powers of the fairy realm cannot create a situation that is absolutely unavoidable.
So what should other people do if they encounter this situation?
Is the only way to predict it in advance and then interrupt its spellcasting with the attack of the elemental gems?
As Angell pondered, he began to observe his surroundings.
Suddenly, he noticed an area beneath Nereid where no electric snakes seemed to be spreading.
Could it be that the safe zone set up by the powers of the fairy realm?
Ingres wanted to observe further, but due to the limited perspective, he couldn't see very clearly.
Normally, he could use a god-like perspective to observe the battlefield from all angles, but not now. Once he uses the god-like perspective, his vision will jump directly out of this "nightmare" and into the bubble space in the void.
In the normal mode of the Sandbox Wonderland, Angel's cheat of having no blind spots in the field of vision was directly banned.
However, Angell got used to it.
The "God's-eye view" claims to allow for a complete, unobstructed view of any part of the Dream Crystal Plains, but in reality, there are many areas that cannot be observed.
For example, the core area of Wonderland: Crystal Mountain.
For example, special locations within the instance, such as the Hidden Waters, can only be observed after they are connected to Modern City each morning.
At other times, it floats outside the void, invisible even from God's perspective.
Therefore, Ingres had become accustomed to the lack of perspective from God's point of view.
As Angor pondered, the surrounding lightning and thunder had completely vanished, and the aftereffects of the Thunderous Punishment skill had ended... Nereid, hovering in mid-air, thought he could finish them off in one fell swoop. But when the lightning mist disappeared, he found the three of them unharmed. Nereid roared in anger, and then... roared again.
Nereid appears angry, but aside from roaring, he makes no other "angry" gestures.
For example, rushing forward to attack.
For example, increasing energy output...
Nereid would never do such things out of anger.
It's like a bot; it only shows anger, but its inner self is completely unmoved.
Indeed, under Angor's extrasensory perception, Nereid, who appeared to be furious at the moment, had no inner emotions whatsoever, and was like a dead object.
No, it's not like that; it's actually an inanimate object.
The dreamlike image projected by the power of the fairy realm could be considered an inanimate object, which would be entirely reasonable.
Nereid flew into a rage for several seconds, but in Angor's view, this so-called "rage" was just time for the Fairy Realm's powers to allow the challenger to regroup.
Once the integration is complete, Nereid will likely release one of his skills.
With this in mind, Angor instructed Gray Porcelain to keep a close eye on Nereid, while he himself manipulated the illusion nodes to create a large number of illusory clouds on the field.
These illusory cloud formations have functions such as "acceleration," "bouncing," and "leveraging"—in short, they are designed to help people save energy while moving.
However, Angor created so many phantom mist clouds not just to provide support for his companions. He also placed a vision system on each cloud that could connect to his mental tentacles, similar to a wizard's eye, for monitoring purposes, thus compensating for the lack of a god's-eye view.
Many of these "cloud surveillance" systems are located in mid-air, allowing Angor to observe Nereid's attack blind spots from a high vantage point.
Although they can withstand Nereid's attacks with their elemental field, the elemental field only has twenty chances to defend against mistakes.
Nereid also has no health bar, and Angor doesn't know how long this mechanic battle will last, so in order to avoid running out of elemental fields at the end.
That means we must find the blind spots in Nereid's attacks.
Or rather, find the most reliable strategy guide.
This is also the strategy used by other challengers.
After setting up all the illusory mist clouds, Nereid, who was "performing anger," finally finished its performance. It roared at the sky, and the surrounding air vibrated.
Just then, the voice of Gray Porcelain came from the Heart Connection.
"It's a hurricane-force attack! With earth-shattering projectiles!!"
Clearly, Nereid was about to unleash his second skill, but Gray Porcelain's danger sense kicked in and detected the anomaly immediately.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and added, "Attack its mouth!! The core of its power this time is its tongue!"
Actually, there's no need to add anything; the bunny girl is already very skilled at it.
During previous simulation battles, Nereid unleashed Hurricane Throw more than once, with the core of the ability always inside her mouth, either her tongue or her teeth.
Therefore, you only need to attack its mouth with a ground cannonball to interrupt the casting.
Before Gray Porcelain could even say that "tongue" was the key, Rabbit Girl used the illusionary cloud left by Angell to propel herself backward with a powerful kick, quickly moving to the vicinity of the earth cannon's button.
However, the rabbit girl didn't press it immediately, but instead glanced at Angel out of the corner of her eye.
"Aimed, just press!"
After receiving confirmation, the rabbit girl pressed the button without hesitation.
As the button was pressed, the elemental turret's magic array flashed with an earthy yellow light. In the blink of an eye, a "cannonball" without any form, made purely of earth power, shot straight at Nereid's face like an arrow.
The earth-penetrating shells were incredibly fast, reaching their targets almost instantly.
Although Nereid is useless, it can still detect the trajectory of the earth cannonballs, but... when it enters the chanting phase, the chanting will be interrupted if it moves.
Others might have various ways to deal with interruptions to their chanting; but Nereid hadn't learned that, and once its chanting was interrupted, it would suffer elemental backlash.
Therefore, it can neither dodge nor interrupt the chanting.
All it can do is hope that the speed at which the chanting is released is faster than the speed at which the earth's cannonballs hit it.
Unfortunately, after numerous simulated battles and with Gray Porcelain's "prediction," Nereid had no reason to imagine that his chanting speed could outpace the Earth Cannonball.
Sure enough, a bright yellow light flashed.
The earth-shattering shell struck Nereid in the mouth.
Normally, the weak energy explosion of the Earth Cannonball might not even be enough to awaken Nereid from its slumber, because it is too feeble.
But now, as it was chanting the "casting bar," the Earth Cannonball's elemental attack, as weak as a needlepoint, combined with the reverse element, easily interrupted the hurricane's casting bar.
The spell was interrupted, and the elemental backlash struck instantly.
"Roar--"
Nereid's screams tore through the air!
Tiny cracks appeared on the dragon's body, and blood mist exploded from the cracks like crimson fireworks. Then, the entire body crashed heavily to the ground like a puppet with broken strings.
Due to the elemental backlash, cyan wind element seeped out from the crack, creating a hurricane-like shockwave.
These hurricane shockwaves only lingered around for a moment before gradually stopping, having no effect whatsoever on the people in the distance.
Seeing Nereid fall heavily, Gray Porcelain's expression brightened, and he couldn't help but look at Angor.
Although Angel was thinking about other things at the moment, he immediately understood what Gray Porcelain meant when he saw his eyes, and nodded gently: "Well done, Nereid suffered a severe backlash this time, continue later!"
The bunny girl gave him a thumbs up.
Feeling emboldened by the approval of everyone, Gray Porcelain nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
Perhaps brimming with confidence, Gray Porcelain even asked Angor, "Nereid has fallen, should we go and finish him off now?"
Angell: "Don't forget the situation in the simulated battle..."
Reminded by Angor, Gray Porcelain recalled how, during the previous simulation battle, he had rushed forward and attacked Nereid during its elemental backlash in order to increase Nereid's health bar.
As a result, none of their close-range attacks could break through Nereid's defenses.
What seemed like tofu to Shi Zhen was like an alloy armor to Hui Ci and the rabbit girl.
It's not only tough, but it also has a counter-damage effect.
As for using elemental attacks... that would be a complete waste of elemental projectiles. In the end, all the projectiles were used up, and Nereid didn't even lose a sliver of health.
Compared to the damage caused by elemental backlash, their meager attacks were practically nothing to Nereid.
Therefore, there is absolutely nothing that needs to be done at this time.
Just wait.
