Isla said that he wanted to wait until the battle was over before he went to help Gray Lint get a marionette, but in fact, he found Gray Lint just after breakfast the next day.
"If we leave now, nothing will happen?"
"It's okay. I didn't know you had 'spiritual world travel' before, so I was afraid of wasting time, so I planned to help you get a marionette after the war."
Yesterday, when Admiral Wodehouse was fooling Wodehouse with the "Exile" of "Arcane Chain", Admiral Wodehouse said that I had "Teleportation". Gray Lint nodded suddenly and guessed.
:
"Admiral Wodehouse has direct contact with you?"
"Yes, it can be within a few hundred miles, so we can rush back to fight at any time. We just need to be careful not to consume too much spiritual power when making marionettes.
This should be a basic awareness for hunting monsters. In the ancient deep forest, it is very dangerous to consume more than half of your spirituality. You must have the ability to face danger and deal with danger at any time... at least the ability to escape.
Well, I have clues about several monsters here, what kind of marionette do you want?"
I want them all!
Taking a deep breath, Gray Lint did not say such disgusting words, but used words instead of thinking and analyzing:
"The 'Lawyer' path really doesn't have any extraordinary abilities for attacking, so I hope that the lethality of this marionette will be as powerful as possible, and as stealthy as possible."
This was the shortcoming he was most eager to make up for at the moment. Unexpectedly, Isla interrupted him first:
"I must remind you that the more powerful the monster, the shorter the time we can effectively control it, and the easier it is for the secret puppet transformation to fail.
Also, it’s best to make your target more clear. ‘Destructive power’ can be a particularly powerful attack on a target, or it can be a poison-type extraordinary ability, suitable for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers in a wide range.
Haha, I told you I have clues about several monsters here."
Be more explicit?
Gray Linte frowned and tried to say:
"Of course it is a monster that is very lethal to a single target."
His military position is within MI9. It is rare to personally lead troops into battle like this time. Moreover, it would be too inhumane to use the extraordinary ability of area-of-effect poison to target ordinary soldiers.
Isla nodded and repeated his previous request:
"You still have to be hidden, right? Well, have you heard of the 'Hunter Mantis'?"
"'Hunter Mantis'?"
Greenlight didn't need to say anything, Isla could tell from his puzzled expression and tone that he had never heard of this kind of monster.
After pondering for a few seconds, he organized his words and said:
"Sequence 5 of the 'Hunter' pathway is called 'Reaper'. Although I have never actually seen its recipe, I am certain that some materials from the 'Hunter Mantis' must be used in it, because this monster is similar to those'
The Reapers are so similar, I know them very well."
The families currently in charge of the "Hunter" path are the Einhorn family of Feysac and the Sauron family of Intis. In the Southern Continent, the colonies of these two countries are adjacent to Loen, even if there is no war at ordinary times.
, there will be no less friction. Considering that Isla happens to be Sequence 5, Gray Lint can fully imagine how many "Reapers" he has come into contact with.
"This monster is similar in shape to the praying mantis we usually see, except it is one size larger. It is ten centimeters long not counting the scythes on its front legs.
Its body is as hard as steel, showing a rusty dark red color. It has a pair of very sharp scythes that can easily cut through stones. These scythes seem to correspond to a certain extraordinary ability of the 'Reaper', no matter it attacks
No matter where the target is, the effect is equivalent to a weak point attack.
In addition to this extraordinary ability, it also has a pair of blood-red compound eyes, which can discover the target's weaknesses from a mystical perspective, and add a certain degree of accuracy when attacking, thereby causing terrible damage.
It has an extremely strong jumping ability and can easily jump up to four or five stories high, and its jumping speed is very fast.
In addition to bouncing closer and stabbing enemies, it also has a pair of thin transparent wings like ordinary mantises, but they cannot take off and can only be used for short-distance gliding."
Gray Lint heard something strange. In addition to the extraordinary ability of a lower sequence, this was already a complete "Reaper". Did this monster eat another main material or was it born with the ability like the "Psychic Dragon"?
Complete extraordinary characteristics at a certain sequence level?
But there is nothing to fault, this is the secret puppet that suits him very well!
"That's it! How should we find it?"
Although he does not have the characteristics of a "conspirator", since this guy is called a "hunter", he is definitely not an ordinary insect without intelligence. He can only be a prey, not a hunter.
Isla chuckled:
“Do you have the extraordinary characteristics of the ‘Hunter’ path?
If there are, it will be easier to deal with. These monsters naturally crave the extraordinary characteristics of the same path in order to complement themselves.
If you use the extraordinary characteristics of the same path as bait, it will definitely be fooled. After all, it is just an irrational monster. Even if it is cunning enough, it cannot restrain its instinctive desires.
If not, I can sell you one."
Sell me a copy?
Gray Lint keenly grasped the meaning of his words. Isn't this extraordinary characteristic only used as bait?
"I have the extraordinary characteristic of 'Arsonist', can I use it? And... do I really need to give it this extraordinary characteristic? Can't I just lure it out?"
"Arsonist."
Isla heard his forehead twitching slightly, and felt that Gray Lint's net worth was indeed very high. The extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 meant that he could use it as bait.
When fishing for "Hunter Mantis", actually only one "Hunter" trait is enough.
He nodded affirmatively and replied:
"It can be used, and it should also give the last marionette the corresponding fire control ability. This kind of monster absorbs the extraordinary characteristics of lower sequences very quickly.
This extraordinary characteristic is indeed used as a bait, but doesn't it take a certain amount of time for you to control the 'Hunter Mantis'? It will be quieter when it is 'dining'. With the bait, it will discover you before you try to control it.
We don't need to waste extraordinary abilities to limit it, and can save more powerful extraordinary abilities for later.
Well, by the way, how long will it take for you to completely turn it into a marionette?"
This question made Graylint very embarrassed. What he took was the "Chain of Artifice". Theoretically speaking, it only takes 3 seconds to initially complete the control of the target spiritual body's thread, and it can be completed within 15 seconds.
Completely transform it into a puppet.
But he is not an extraordinary person of this path at all, and is relatively unfamiliar with the manipulation of spiritual threads.
This is not something you can become more proficient by controlling more, but the way is different. There is no corresponding spirit body trait at all. Normally, there is no problem in controlling the puppet, but it is more difficult when it comes to transforming the marionette. And "Hunter Mantis"
"The body structure is relatively simple, and its number of spiritual body threads is definitely less than that of humans. This is also a difference that is difficult to estimate.
"I'm not sure, but it will definitely be completely transformed within a minute."
As long as it does not move 150 meters away from itself within one minute and is not interrupted by external forces, it can be completely coupled.
"One minute...will my 'confusion' of its escape direction affect your control?"
Isla subconsciously flicked his fingers. He liked to use the steel flute corresponding to the "Fallen Earl" more and more, even more than his own extraordinary ability.
"Yes, this is an external force acting directly on it."
"External forces act directly..."
Chewing on Gray Linte's words, Isla turned to ask:
"What if I distort its intention to escape? Let it 'actively' circle around you?"
"no problem."
"Okay, let's go to the ancient deep forest in the afternoon. I know the approximate range of that guy's activities. Hey, the magical items corresponding to the 'Secret Puppet Master' are really good. It's relatively easy to get combat power that exceeds your own sequence level, and it's also
It doesn’t have all the negative side effects like magical items.”
He sighed, shook his head and denied himself:
"But this is only easier when dealing with irrational monsters. If it is a human with a companion and you want to turn him into a marionette, it is basically impossible."
