?Chapter 924: 288. Illusion·Fatal sh_3
The pale green culture fluid flowed from the damaged tank, carrying ss fragments as it spread across the floor.
The pungent smell of preservative liquid returned to the tip of Nnd Lee’s nose and poured into his lungs.
The blood threads and red clumps in Nnd’s eyes quickly dissipated with the help of healing spells.
He gasped for a few seconds and finally could see things clearly.
Nnd struggled to stand up from the ground and took out a Life Elixir to pour down his throat.
He had numerous and dense prating wounds all over his body, and they all went straight through from front to back. <div>
...
These wounds were so deep that not even Life Elixir or Resurrection Spells could stop the bleeding.
But for some reason, his vital parts were unharmed, and there were no breaks on the magic bubble.
It was as if that round of vicious attacks had directly affected his body…
Nnd endured the pain without calling for Denise Green, as he wasn’t sure if there were still dangers around.
His eyes swept toward the direction of the culture tank, and his pupils shook violently!
Somehow, at some point, Nicolette’s translucent soul had already transformed into a body of flesh and blood.
Vibrant, tender, pure as if she had just been separated from her mother as a newborn.
Nnd quickly took out a full set of clothes from his Magic Pouch and used “Mind Capture” to cover her body.
Looking around, aside from the severe damage to the culture tank and the pale green fluid spreading on the ground, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary on the First Underground Level.
Nnd had not forgotten about that “Soul Perception” of level 576.
As he cautiously looked around, he called up the system interface in his mind.
His panel no longer disyed the words “sense tampering.”
This meant that what he was now seeing was real and not the result of some extraordinary power.
“What on earth is this ‘Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike’? Huh? What the hell just happened?!”
Nnd swiftly flipped through the system log, checking each entry.
[Warning!]
[The will of the Assassin Angel isunching an attack on you!]
[You are under the effect of ‘Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike’!]
[‘Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike’ has prated your ‘Undead Shield’!]

[…Determined to be a failure, you could not block ‘Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike’!]
[You have received a Fatal Strike Level weakness injury!]
[Your ‘Death Two Finger’ sessfully hit the target!]
[You have passed the test of the Assassin Angel Gabriel!]
[‘Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike’ has ended.]
[‘sense tampering (Level 576) has ended.]
Assassin Angel…
Gallobelia…
Nnd searched his mind for information by this name.
He had never heard of such a person.
In the Deconstruction Results rted to the Angel Enterprises Alliance, there was no information about “Gallobelia.”
So where did this thinge from?
And how did itunch ‘Illusion Killing – Desperate Strike’?
Nnd frowned tightly, then suddenly heard “thud thud thud” knocking soundsing from the passage in the ceiling.
“Nnd~~~ are you okay? Can wee in now?”
“Thud thud thud.”
Denise tapped again on the magic wall blocking the passage:
“Nnd~~~ how are you? Why didn’t you respond when I used ‘Soul Perception’ to contact you? Did something happen~~~”
Denise shouted from upstairs.
Her voice was full of urgency.
After checking the ketones on the floor with his Deconstruction Technique and confirming there was no danger, Nnd then opened the magic wall on the ceiling.
Denise and Nolin couldn’t wait to fly in.
“Nnd, are you alright!” As soon as shended, Denise drew her magic wand and cast several healing spells.
“How did you get so badly hurt… sob…” Denise was so worried she cried, ceaselessly casting spells, and finally managed to stop all the bleeding on Nnd’s body.
Nnd felt asfortable as if he was soaking in warm water, with all the pain in his body quickly fading away.
He steadied himself by holding onto Denise’s shoulder.
Nolin looked at the figure lying on the ground, confused:
“Is that Nicolette? Sir. How did she suddenly, uh, turn from a soul into a living person…”
That’s when Denise noticed the figure by the culture tank.
While casting healing spells, she nced at the figure and uttered in surprise:
“It seems like the effect of some kind of resurrection spell!”
Denise Green cast a detection spell towards the figure:
“Yes, that’s right! It’s the effect of a resurrection spell, and it’s at least at the Saint-level! This spell actually restored Nicolette’s body!”
Nnd Lee activated the automatic cleaning function on his magic robe, wiping the bloodstains off his body.
He took a few deep breaths,pletely suppressing the pain on his body:
“I’m not too clear on the situation either. Let’s clean up the first underground level first, and then we can ask Nicolette after she wakes up. Nolin, get to work. Denise, check on Nicolette. I’m going to search this floor to ensure there are no hidden dangers.”
“Hmm, okay.” Denise touched Nnd to confirm he wasn’t seriously injured, then immediately went to Nicolette, who was on the floor.
“Yes, sir.” Nolin summoned the Mechanos and began cleaning up the chaotic scene.
Nnd Lee bowed his head in thought, patrolling around the first underground level.
He was reading the deconstruction results rted to Nicolette.
[System Message:]
[You have consumed 358,000 points of energy tounch the “Deconstruction” technique on “Nicolette.”]
[The target’s panel information has been refreshed.]
[Name] Nicolette
[Identity 1] Survivor of the Golden Dynasty (in effect)
[Identity 2] Artificial Angel (terminated)
Owing to the intervention of Assassin Angel Gabriel, Nicolette has lost the features of the Artificial Angel and reverted to a natural human.
[Feature]
1. The Will of the Assassin Angel (a very small part):
Perhaps because you did not manage to impose “Mind Shackles” in time, Assassin Angel Gabriel has left a very small part of his will within Nicolette.
The current form of Gallobelia’s existence is unknown.
He might still be alive, or he may be considered deceased within human understanding.
For now, he seems to acknowledge your abilities.
2. The Essence of the Assassin Angel (a very small part):
Impable concealment and the determination to kill in a single strike require patience and courage.
Patience and courage are the authorities of Gallobelia.
3. Intact Mind
Gallobelia did not erase “Nicolette’s” mind.
He preserved everything about her, her innocence, optimism, and cheerfulness.
Is he hiding himself, or does this stem from an indifferent benevolence?
(The rest of the deconstruction information is omitted for now)
…
“Assassin Angel Gabriel temporarily acknowledges me…
“Why does he acknowledge me?
“Because I managed to hit him urately while under the influence of an illusion?”
Nnd Lee scratched his head, feeling that this must be the reason.
Literally, what the Assassin Angel seeks is “impable concealment” and “the determination to kill in a single strike.”
Nnd Lee might indeed have been acknowledged by using the System to prate his “concealment.”
More than the bewildering experience of being attacked and acknowledged, Nnd Lee was more concerned about something else.
Essence.
Nnd Lee saw the word “Essence” again.
Thest time he encountered these two characters was in the panel information of Osmisgard Dusk Giant.
The authority of Dusk Giants was the “sturdy beginning of life and death.”
Now, Nnd Lee hade across a new essence.
The authority of the Assassin Angel was “patience and courage,” which didn’t sound as grand as that of the Dusk Giants…
Nnd Lee pondered deeply.
How many kinds of Artificial Angels does the Angel Enterprise Alliance have?
At least ten, right…?
Could it be that behind every type of Artificial Angel, there’s a real Angel hiding?
If “Mind Shackles” aren’t imposed in time, will the true Angels awaken within the Artificial Angels?
Is that what’s going on?
Nnd Lee slightly narrowed his eyes, silently noting this detail.
Also, why does he feel like the operation of the true Angels is very simr to that of the Metal Ancestor Dragon…?
The Metal Ancestor Dragon also has some rted extraterrestrial void forces in Outer Space.
So do the true Angels.
Is this a coincidence…
Or is it some kind of unspoken choice?
