Chapter 487: Chapter 131: Ah, It’s Just Playing_3

Before the cousin could express his opinion, another Lucia took the initiative to reply.

“In my opinion, there must surely be traps waiting for us ahead. We should not venture over rashly.”

The last of the Lucias, cautious by nature, suggested that they should scout the area before deciding what action to take.

Either way, the family’s plan had failed once the Shadow City team was transported beyond the boundary.

He couldn’t comprehend why his cousin was still adamantly clinging to this absurd plan.

“Quiet! I have my considerations.”

Instead of directly addressing the three Lucias’ concerns, the cousin asserted his authority to suppress their objections.

The three peripheral members have been silent throughout the ordeal.

From the moment they became Lucia Family’s vassals for resources, unless they ascend to sages, they didn’t have much say in front of their Lucia Family peers of the same rank.

“We are nearly there. Gather your wits, be ready for anything.”

As they drew closer and closer to the position of Link Grande on the live image of the Reconnaissance Magic Tool, the cousin issued a stern reminder.

“Yes.”

Given the circumstances, the Lucias had no choice but to push aside their emotions and give it their all.

After all, their lives were at stake, with a tragic end waiting for them with the slightest mistake.

“You’re here?”

Link sensed the commotion, turned around to face the Lucias team forming a balanced offensive and defensive formation, and heaved a long sigh.

“I’m here.”

The cousin gestured to his team not to attack hastily, and acknowledged in response.

“You shouldn’t have come.”

Link was sincerely expressing his opinion.

No matter how he viewed it, it was inappropriate for the cousin to lead the team here.

It indeed was improper.

“But I’m here.”

The cousin’s resolute stand wasn’t going to be swayed by Link’s arguments.

Link shook his head and asked, “Will you stop at nothing?”

The cousin similarly shook his head: “We’ll give it everything we have!”

With a sigh, Link responded, “Just to determine superiority?”

The cousin took a deep breath, his gaze resolute. “Even at the cost of our lives!”

“Why must it come to this?”

Unless necessary, Link was reluctant to shed the blood of the Lucia Family in this situation.

This didn’t mean that Link had reconciled with the Lucia Family, and didn’t want to deal with them anymore.

Rather, if word of this incident was to spread, no matter what, public opinion would be against Link, whether he was right or not or whether he launched the first attack.

A murderer has no defense!

The cousin indicated for his team to prepare for an attack while nonchalantly saying, “Someone has to make sacrifices, why can’t it be me?”

After saying this, the cousin had no intention of speaking further.

He was preparing to launch an attack.

“Cousin, something is wrong!”

Just then, a Lucia exclaimed in shock.

In accordance with his habits, he launched an exploratory attack “spiritual attack” on Link Grande in front of them.

This was witchcraft that the Lucia had intentionally learned after realizing his potential of being a True Spirit Wizard.

It is incredibly suitable as an opening maneuver for an attack.

Stealthy, swift, and it gives an initial advantage.

However, the feedback from the “spiritual attack” proved that the Link Grande in front of him was not real but a mental illusion!

“On guard!”

Understanding the habit of this Lucia, the cousin immediately responded.

He was shocked and taken aback by the expertise of Link Grande on the True Spirit Wizard System in conjuring a mental illusion.

Link engaged him in a conversation using the illusion, and he couldn’t detect any flaws.

“Surrender now! Surrender now! Surrender now!”

Link’s voice resonated from all directions and appeared in the minds of all Lucia team members.

Like a devilish whisper, the only sound that people could hear was a demonic repetition of “Surrender now”.

The sensation was comparable to an itch that couldn’t be scratched, causing restlessness throughout the body.

It was also like countless bugs crawling under their skin, which was unbearably discomforting and helpless.

“Surrender now! Surrender now! Surrender now!”

The second wave of demonic repetition trailed right after the first, interconnecting seamlessly to form a cycle.

Since it’s inappropriate to kill, they might as well be tormented and get rid of their frustrations.

After all, someone has to make sacrifices, why not you, right?

Valiant, righteous indeed.

Thus, fulfill your aspiration, make your honorable sacrifice.

Enjoy it to your heart’s content!

“It’s too noisy!”

A Lucia used all sorts of soundproofing witchcraft and Soundproofing Magic Tools but was unable to block the demonic sound.

He wanted to attack but couldn’t even locate the target.

He was frustrated, irate!

Who knew that a shout would stop the demonic sound.

The Lucias, who were tortured within mere seconds, breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the cousin.

This form of attack was truly a nuisance.

Audio attack?

Yes.

But it wasn’t just an audio attack.

It also involved an attack on the mental level.

It was a combination of an Elemental Wizard’s ability and True Spirit Wizard’s ability.

And it was skillfully combined, producing an incredible result, leaving the cousin with no apparent solution to break free.

“Come out! Hiding won’t help. If you have the guts, come out and have a fair fight.”

The cousin could only resort to provocation, hoping to rouse Link.

However, the response was an incomprehensible yet much more demonic noise repetitively attacking his senses.

“Did you miss me? Did you miss me?”

“miss me? miss me?”
