Chapter 1665 - 1665 956 The True Face of the Trump Card_2

Chapter 1665: Chapter 956: The True Face of the Trump Card_2 Chapter 1665: Chapter 956: The True Face of the Trump Card_2 The crisp sound of armored collisions echoed, and Yoyo, still dressed as a female knight, first held her helmet and saluted Leo Ray, then shook her head and replied, “So, after sensing for a while without any results, I had no choice but to give up.”

“As an extraordinary stone spirit, even her unconsciousness is quite unique.”

Leo Ray sighed helplessly in his heart, and then continued to ask, “Yoyo, think carefully, is there anything special about the abstract painting in Little Illusion’s mind? For example, a specific scene or a suspicious sound?”

“A specific scene or suspicious sound?”

Yoyo furrowed her eyebrows, carefully recalling the scene she had just sensed.

After a moment, Yoyo’s eyes lit up, and she bowed and reported, “My Lord, the abstract painting in Little Illusion’s mind is full of various colors, irregular shapes, and chaotic lines, but overall, it gives people a vague and unreal feeling, just like a reflection in the water, this may be a clue!”

“An abstract painting like a water reflection?”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully and continued to inquire, “Are there any other special details?”

“My Lord, I also heard a faint melodious tune.”

With Leo Ray’s reminder, Yoyo quickly sorted out the content of her perception, bowed and reported, “That melody is very special, giving people a strong desire to pursue it, but I can’t specifically describe it.”

Yoyo still maintained a respectful posture and added, “Apart from that, there is nothing else worth noting.”

“A faint melodious tune and a painting of reflections in the water?”

After listening to Yoyo’s description, Ariel Watson’s fair face was full of contemplation. She asked Leo Ray, “My Lord, could this be the clue to the opponent’s countermeasure against illusions?”

“It’s very likely.”

Leo Ray nodded affirmatively and replied, “Judging from Little Illusion’s sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed expressions, she is obviously still tangled with the opponent’s cards. Now that we can only analyze these two clues from her mind, the answer is almost certain.”

“But, my Lord, these two clues are too abstract. Even if we know these, how can we break the opponent’s ace?”

Ariel Watson’s delicate face was full of confusion, she said helplessly, “It’s simply clueless.”

“It’s not so, with these two clues, we can touch the key to unlock the opponent’s last resort.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and began to explain.

“The fact that our four illusionists were affected at the same time undoubtedly indicates that the opponent’s last resort is very knowledgeable about illusions, and only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can our illusionists suffer the backlash of magic.”

“But it’s unlikely that this trump card is a genuine illusionist – after all, Little Illusion is comparable to a Tier 5 Illusionist, and even if she were to play against a Tier 5 Illusionist, she wouldn’t be so vulnerable.”

“What’s more, if the opponent had the assistance of a high-level illusionist, they wouldn’t have allowed our initial deception to proceed smoothly.”

“From this, it’s not difficult to see that the opponent’s trump card must have a strong connection to illusions or illusionists, and is extremely restraining to illusionists.”

At this point, Leo Ray nodded to Ariel Watson, “Once we know this and combine it with the two clues Yoyo provided, we may deduce the true identity of the opponent’s trump card and find a countermeasure.”

“So that’s how it is. My Lord is truly brilliant.”

Ariel Watson looked enlightened, then she turned her gaze to Jasper Richardson and others with anticipation.

As experienced Tier 5 powerhouses, they might also think of some clues.

However, Jasper Richardson and others merely shook their heads in confusion, their faces full of helplessness.

This vast land contains countless mysteries, and even they cannot master all knowledge.

“My Lord, since this matter is related to illusions, I’m afraid only a strong person proficient in illusions can perceive the clues within.”

Jasper Richardson bowed and reported to Leo Ray.”But Elusa and Little Illusion have both fallen unconscious, where on earth can we find a powerful illusionist?”

Ariel clenched her clothes tight, her pale face filled with urgency.

“Don’t forget we just made a new friend not long ago.”

Seeing that the breaths of Elusa and the others had stabilized, Leo Ray let out a sigh of relief while smiling at Ariel.

“Lord, are you talking about High Priestess Shirley of the Illusion Spirit Race?”

Ariel immediately caught on, her eyes full of excitement: “The Illusion Spirit Race is naturally born with illusionists, she must know something!”

“That’s right, the situation is urgent, let’s prepare to leave now.”

Leo Ray nodded at Ariel and began to take action.

After that, Leo Ray arranged for Kane and the other elders to hold the fort, then quickly returned to the family castle in Lionheart City with the teleportation of Jasper Richardson.

Racing through the underground in the family castle, Leo Ray quickly arrived at the mysterious and ancient temple of the Illusion Spirit Race.

“Otherworld Adventurer, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon.”

With a hazy mist, Shirley’s slender figure appeared in front of Leo Ray.

“To be honest, Chief Priestess, I came to ask for help.”

Hearing Shirley’s ethereal and soft voice, Leo Ray laughed helplessly, directly addressing the situation they encountered in Kael Castle.

“A Tier 5 powerhouse, as well as three Tier 4 peak illusionists, all suffered unknown magical backlash at the same time?”

Shirley held her chin, pondering with a thoughtful expression on her white and bright face: “For an experienced illusionist, it’s easy to break an opponent’s illusion, but it’s indeed not easy to make the opponent suffer magic backlash while breaking the illusion.”

Shirley paused and added: “After all, forcibly causing the opponent to suffer magic backlash is a double-edged sword and can also cause unpredictable damage to the caster.”

“Chief Priestess, do you have any clues?”

Knowing the urgent situation, Leo Ray quickly asked, “Even the most trivial hints will do.”

“Combining your descriptions of the ‘faint melodious tune and water reflection-like imagery’, I already have an idea.”

After contemplating for a moment, Shirley smiled and said: “With these two clues, plus the brute force usage of magic backlash to interrupt illusions, only that kind of difficult demon beast could do it.”

At this point, the smile on Shirley’s pale face faded, and she became serious again, solemnly saying: “It’s the Siren!”

“Siren?! The ruthless creature with a human head and a bird body that often appears between reefs and ships, using their singing to confuse sailors?”

Jasper’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: “It is said that this demon beast can use their singing to weave illusions, causing countless ships and sailors to be buried at sea! The faint melodious tune and water reflection-like imagery are indeed the characteristics of the Siren!”

“That’s right, this demon beast is very tricky even for our Illusion Spirit Race, but due to its appearance only in dangerous waters, few people know about it.”

Shirley nodded at Jasper and said seriously: “Sirens are rare in the illusion-based demon beasts, with strength at least at the Tier 4 level, and some mutants can even reach Tier 5. The illusions they cast are extremely violent, and they are naturally fond of breaking others’ illusions.”

“Back then, our Illusion Spirit Tribe received a request from an ally and waged a war against a group of Sirens. In the end, although we buried all the opponents, we paid a high price.”

Shirley took a deep breath and affirmed: “So, I am certain that the Siren must be the true identity of the opponent’s trump card!”

“Chief Priestess, what is the Siren’s weakness?”

After figuring out the opponent’s trump card, Leo Ray did not hesitate to continue asking.
