Chapter 6 Shelling
Looking at the undead that was pounced on him, Ethan calmly told Philip beside him: "Back back!" At the same time, he stepped forward. The cloak behind him had turned into a large flame while Ethan moved. Just as the undead pounced on Ethan, a large flame swung from Ethan forward, covering the undead in a very timely manner.
“Ah~”
The undead, which was burned by flames, once again made a sound that could penetrate the soul. Unfortunately, Ethan had been wary of its move. This mental attack did not have any effect on Ethan. The flames formed by magic were still burning fiercely, and the undead burned nothing in a short time.
As the dead soul disappeared, the huge flame returned to Ethan's back and slowly turned back to the appearance of a cloak, covering Ethan's back honestly. In addition, the dead soul had dissipated and had no trace left. Everything was no different from when they first came in, as if nothing had happened here.
To deal with negative creatures like the undead, the priority should be the absolute positive energy of holy light. Secondly, the natural energy is the vitality-filled attribute. Flame is not the third choice, and it has its own advantages and disadvantages. Just talking about lethality, the effect of flame energy is not even much worse than that of holy light.
Ethan did not master the real holy light. The energy he simulated before could only be used for emergency response. It is okay to deal with "outsiders" like Wilson, but the effect on real undead creatures is much worse, so he chose a flame energy that he is more familiar with and controls better.
The flame cloak that can attack, defend, and fly showed its power in this world for the first time, shocking Philip and others next to him. They had never seen before that this ordinary cloak was such a powerful item.
Ethan continued to search for the positions of other undeads with his glasses, and found that after he killed the undead, the positions of other undeads had changed, and he completely ignored the structure of the ship and moved casually.
"It is quite convenient to exist between reality and reality."
The energy bombs released by the magic wand and the flames of the cloak are both energy damage, so that they can perfectly kill the body of the undead. If it is a pure physical attack such as swords and fists, they will probably be completely immune.
After choosing the right method, there is really nothing to fear for these undeads.
Just as he was about to continue moving forward, Ethan noticed that the surrounding negative energy concentration began to increase, and the glasses also gave a warning: the increase in negative energy concentration is very likely to have an unknown impact and damage to the human body. It is recommended to leave as soon as possible.
Ethan ignored the warning given by his glasses and carefully analyzed the negative energy around him, and found that this energy was eroding his own spirit.
"Mental attack? Mental pollution?"
Ethan's mental power has been condensed and will not be easily affected by this dispersed energy, but the people behind him will not be affected at all. Ethan noticed that their expressions are slowly changing, and at the same time, the increasingly intense negative energy is also affecting their bodies, and will slowly devour their physical strength and energy. If they stay for a long time, they will lose their lives even without the attack of the undead.
"Pick these up and carry them with you."
Ethan took out a few amulets, all of which were small props he made in his spare time. Since he had storage space, he would prepare some gadgets he made himself to keep in it, and it really came in handy at this time.
The protective effect is not great, but it is still fine to deal with some dispersed energy, which is enough to ensure that they will not be killed by these energy.
But mental impact...
Ethan found that the picture in front of him was slowly changing. The cabin, which seemed a little worn, was twisting little by little, and then turned into a more gloomy, terrifying and ragged place.
What Ethan cares about the most is that the space suddenly became countless times larger. The cabin door that was originally not far ahead is now several hundred meters away.
"Space Magic?"
This is impossible. Ethan himself denied this speculation. He did not feel any fluctuation in space energy, so it is impossible to be any of space expansion and space distortion.
“So it’s mental interference?”
Ethan closed his eyes and concentrated his mind to detect himself. Finally, he discovered something strange - it was a very vague mass of energy. Instead of entering his spirit, he deliberately avoided his mental power, and then occupied himself in his body and misled his senses.
Opening his eyes, he used his glasses to conduct another exploration, and found that the results were similar to those previous ones, and the distance between the ghosts and themselves did not change.
"Tsk! Illusion."
There are several types of illusions. In addition to directly interfering with the opponent's senses and causing them to make mistakes, there are also ways to directly generate scenes and affect vision.
The former has a stronger influence, but it is easy to be immunized by mages or strong mental power; the latter will not be immunized, but the threat it produces is obviously not as threat as the former.
This group of ghosts used a combination of the two. After Ethan eliminated the energy in his body, the scene in front of him did not change at all. As he moved forward, the scene in his eyes was indeed changing with his movement.
"Are you persistent or unrestrained?"
Ethan used his staff to release an energy bomb again. He focused his mental power on the energy bomb, wanting to see how these undead deal with it?
It turned out that after the energy bomb left the staff, it was a normal flight in his eyes. In fact, it was moving forward slowly at a slow speed like a slow motion. At the same time, an unknown energy kept corroding the energy on the energy bomb, and then completely dissipating the energy bomb before it hits any object.
But in Ethan's sight, the energy bomb naturally flew out far away, and then naturally dissipated because the distance was too far.
"It's interesting."
Ethan has been studying mental power before, and has focused on the improvement of combat power in a more straightforward aspect. He has no deep understanding of magic and spiritual interference, and he has not even used the curse on the ring given to him by Zul.
Until this time, he found that these spells were used well and the effect was indeed good. At least Ethan could not think of the magic to be removed, nor could he find out where the other party's illusion could break through.
"It's a pity that I'm not the kind of person who has to compete with the enemy."
What he likes most is to solve the problem in a simple and crude way. He does not know how to solve the illusion in front of him, but it does not mean that he cannot solve it.
He smashed the wand with his left hand heavily on the ground in front of him. Ethan's empty right hand made a virtual grip on the right side of his face, with his palm facing the top of the wand.
As he moved, blue light lines flashed on the stick of the magic wand. As the light spread across the stick, a blue magic circle slowly formed under Ethan's feet. At the same time, a small magic circle appeared at the top of the magic wand, echoing the magic circle pattern that appeared at the same time in Ethan's right hand.
A huge amount of energy gushed out, and the waves of air blew back several steps by the people who were frightened by the scene in front of him - but in Ethan's eyes, the steps of these people actually only moved back slightly for a short distance.
Philip watched helplessly as the top of the stick in Ethan's hand condensed a very terrifying energy. The fluctuations of energy shocked him, who had been wandering on the sea for many years. Can the energy that could make him tremble all over his body really control the energy that a young man could control?
He was very worried now that this powerful energy suddenly lost control, and that if they didn't need the undead to kill, they would die without the complete corpse. But looking at the young man's expression, he didn't look at the slightest.
After the energy on Ethan and others gradually reached a certain level, the second step began.
At this time, the glasses prompted several negative energy sources in the lower layer to float upwards, wanting to launch a sneak attack from under his feet to stop his attack.
"I have good judgment and realize the power of my shelling." Ethan glanced at his feet disdainfully, without making any moves: "But do you think I will not be wary of it?"
This move is very powerful. It is a pure energy attack method he finally developed based on many messy works he saw in his previous life, combined with his magic knowledge and with the help of Tony.
The disadvantages are also obvious and it takes a long time to launch. During this period, he cannot be attacked or disturbed, so his associated defense methods were also integrated by Ethan.
The magic circle pattern under his feet is not simply for good looking.
Several undead wanted to penetrate the floor and attack Ethan from below, but hit the solid energy wall. At the same time, the powerful energy fluctuations also caused considerable damage to these undeads, almost directly shocking these undeads to death.
The remaining undead saw that the situation was wrong and immediately changed directions and rushed to the deck where Ethan and the others were from other locations, and then surrounded Ethan and others from all directions.
"It's too late!"
Ethan's glasses have already prompted all the actions of the undead, and even made Ethan discover an existence that has never moved but has always burst out with strong negative energy.
"locking!"
With Ethan's last move, the wand was no longer stuck on the ground but was picked up. The magic circle in Ethan's right hand was connected with the magic circle on the magic shop, forming a long series of channels with complex symbols. The magic circle at the top of the magic shop suddenly became several times larger after it stood parallel to the magic circle in Ethan's hand, and the patterns and texts became more complicated.
"emission!"
