This is also the case for most other virtual realm enhancements. For example, some people are very ugly and terrifying in the eyes of others. Even if they are handsome in reality, they will become ugly and terrifying after being uncontrollably converted into virtual realm projections. monster.

In essence, this is the power of virtual reality.

Because of the fluctuations caused by extreme emotions, part of the power of the virtual realm overflows on these projections.

If it were in the virtual realm, the enhancement might not be so bizarre. Just like Ian himself, such a crazy person would be just an ordinary little ball in the virtual realm.

But it is precisely because the Avak Territory at this time is in the gap between virtual reality and reality that such a strange existence as phantom was born.

"If I become a phantom, what will my phantom look like and how strong should it be?"

Ian thought about this possibility for a while, then smiled and shook his head: "That's it. The phantom with sanity is the strongest. In a form like Viscount Avak, he can not only exert his own strength and skills, but also fail." Won't die."

"That is the complete form of the psychic technology of 'Phantom Army'."

At this moment, he deliberately moved a little outside.

Although it seemed that he accidentally escaped from the protection of the patrol knight team just to check the surrounding environment...

But in fact, Hua An and Frost Butterfly are hiding behind Ian.

Mo Feng is still recording the data on virtual realm changes in Azure City. After all, she really has a mission, and she also needs this fairy lady to write the final investigation report of the investigation team. As we all know, no one in the lab is going to bother the person writing the report.

In short, Ian is safe enough, both in fact and in appearance.

It was safe enough that he could face the enemy's attacks openly.

The person controlling these phantoms and strange beasts obviously noticed Ian's slightly 'reckless' movement, and he also guessed that this might be a trap - but at the worst, if they step into it, no matter whether it succeeds or not, they will know the secrets of this team. Strength and execution.

Whoosh - Accompanied by the slight sound of wind, the Iron-clawed Honey Badger and the two phantoms walked through the shadows between the buildings in Azure City. Their movements were silent, especially under the cover of all kinds of strange phantom sounds, even if It is impossible for the elite patrol knight team to discover it.

Their movements were extremely fast, and if someone hadn't turned on clairvoyance, just Tres, they would have had to wait for the other party to launch an attack before they could notice it.

Ian was their target. The giant honey badger, which was one meter and a half tall, waved its pair of alloy claws, jumped tens of meters, and pounced on the boy's side and back.

Even the armor of the transport vehicle may not be able to stop this blow. Even if the air-trailing armor is strong, the people inside will definitely suffer heavy losses.

But Tres had already locked the opponent's position based on Ian's report. The moment the Iron-clawed Honey Badger came to attack him, he also moved, swung his sword and came to meet Ian - OK His second level of energy was enough to block the power of the Knights of Viscount Avak alone, but he didn't even push the honey badger away.

"Something's wrong, this strength and hardness... is it mechanical?!"

Tres's expression changed slightly. He had clearly seen the image of the strange beast in front of him. It was all black and gray. It was not much different from the ordinary honey badger except for its size. There was only a cruel and ruthless bloodthirst in its pair of small purple eyes. light, but what's really strange are its arms.

In addition to the matte sharp alloy claws, the arms of this giant honey badger are also extraordinary.

Because Tres fought with it with all its strength, the fur and flesh on the honey badger's arms were torn apart by the knight's wind blade, but hidden under the outermost layer of flesh and blood was a silver metal structure. .

It was a pair of alchemical prosthetics made of special alloys, inlaid with crystal source pipes for strength amplification. It was the strong material and huge strength of this strange alchemical arm that allowed this honey badger to fight head-on with Trey Claw swords intersect.

If it were not Tres but other members of the Patrol Knight team who thought they were about the same strength and fought it head-on, the result would be to be clawed to pieces.

"Interesting, I remember isn't it just the people from the Spiritual Machinery Church who like to play with prosthetic bodies? The Dragon Worshiping Cult also likes it..."

However, after Tres was initially surprised, he began to suppress this strange beast with ease: "To be honest, when I get older, I probably will like it too."

"But now my arm is a little stronger."

As for the fact that two more black shadows passed by on both sides of him and the honey badger and rushed towards Ian, the knight was not worried at all.

Sure enough, the phantom of a man who was too big and holding a carpenter's knife was quickly suppressed by the firepower of the patrol knight team and was unable to move forward for a while.

But it is solid and powerful, as if it will never fall down - this proves that in the eyes of many people, the original body of this phantom is extremely tough and has never been knocked down. It can even be said that it is quite majestic. A man worthy of admiration and gratitude.

Long-range attacks were unable to penetrate its defense. In the end, five gun-wielding knights joined forces to stop it.

But the phantom of another woman turned into a gust of wind, passing by countless bullets, and continued to pounce on Ian, who seemed to have not yet reacted, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

Then, the sharp thorns transformed from her hands were like a rainstorm, stabbing towards the boy who was unable to react in time.

Ian reacted hastily and took a few steps back, just in time to avoid most of the attacks from the spikes on the phantom woman's hands.

But even so, when he was attacked, he was hit by an attack on his shoulder.

Buzz - The air-trailing armor blocked the blow, but a small dent appeared.

If it were the standard armor of an ordinary patrol knight, it would probably be pierced by it.

"Interesting, is this a sewing needle?"

Ian, who seemed to be unable to react, was analyzing and evaluating the ordinary-looking woman in front of him, but extremely fast and very tough: "Her fingers turned into sewing needles, and her attack power was quite strong. It’s so strong that I was able to almost pierce through the Sky Wind Armor without the blessing of source matter.”

The original body of this phantom woman should be a quite gentle woman who is good at housework. The knitting needles on her fingers are proof of this, and her tough body can even ignore the shock waves of alchemical artillery.

This should be the projection of her tenacity in the virtual world. Many people think that she is very strong, so the projection is so tenacious.

But the real reason why Ian deliberately acted was just to observe the other party more, or because of the precognitive vision.

This phantom...has a strong emotional attachment to it.

The second ability that is enough to trigger precognitive vision...the emotion of the ability to "return to the past"!

Ian's precognitive vision has evolved due to the knowledge of the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea and pre-epochal civilizations. He can see "images of the past" from some emotional things and even people.

So far, Ian has not seen many things with such conditions... On the contrary, there are many people, whether it is the pirate captain Andor, or the corpse of his father in this life, or even the five in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. The remains of the elders and the hive body of the great elder both contained such strong emotions.

So is this apparition.

The phantom was still attacking, and Ian was still retreating. He couldn't even draw his sword, so he could only use his hands to block every thrust of the female phantom, and his skills with fists and feet were obviously inferior to those when holding a sharp blade.

But Ian learned quickly.

Although he retreated step by step, each retreat became more and more steady, and he could even gradually fend off the phantom's ghostly piercing attacks and launch one or two counterattacks.

This kind of learning speed even surprised Mikael, who had been observing from the side: [He was really not proficient in boxing and kicking at the beginning - also, at this age, he is already good at alchemy, inscriptions, and swordsmanship. It was outrageous, but how many seconds had it been? His bare-handed block has already entered the room]

[How can there be people in this world who learn so quickly? 】

The person who controlled the phantom attack also felt weird at the moment.

They originally thought that this raid would definitely kill a key figure in the team - in fact, they almost succeeded, they almost killed the leading Observation Bachelor.

But now, things have taken a strange turn.

The phantom woman silently extended her claws, and her five fingers flew sharply, stabbing towards Ian's eyes and the breathing holes of the armor. There was a sharp cold light at the top that could hurt the soul.

It caught a flaw in Ian's body, and at the cost of Ian grabbing his wrist with his other hand, it was about to pierce the boy's eyes.

But at this moment, Frost Butterfly appeared next to Ian holding an ice shield.

The little goblin was like a floating shield, always waiting for the opportunity. Although the phantom woman's attack shattered the ice shield, the offensive stalled - and at this moment, Hua An appeared, and the goblin lady held the ice shield tightly in her hand. The staff turned into his own parasol, a lead-gray source mixed with spiritual energy, surrounded layer by layer like a chain, shrouding the phantom.

‘Spiritual confinement’. A restraining psychic skill often used by goblins. It has no shortcomings except that it takes a long time to charge. It was also the skill Hua An showed when he captured the phantom sniper before.

This phantom was imprisoned in place, and all other connections to it, whether from the virtual realm or from reality, were also interrupted.

——Damn it, the plan failed and more information was exposed!

For a moment, the vision was completely black, and the controllers were shocked and angry. They never thought that there would be a second-level goblin and a team of patrol knights acting together.

If they can still contact other people, they may be able to obtain information from Viscount Avak.

But now, everyone is divided and fighting on their own.

"very good."

After losing all the last signals, the phantom controller heard Ian's voice so calm that it didn't sound like he was being attacked at all: "In this way, we should be able to know what method the hiding rats used. Controlled the phantom."
