Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy
Chapter 502 - 494: Illusion Realm from A-level Illusion Beast
CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 494: ILLUSION REALM FROM A-LEVEL ILLUSION BEAST
Just as he exited the lava zone, the system detected that Qian Qi had entered the Illusion Realm set by the Illusion Beast.
Because it was a spiritual power attack, the system couldn’t help, so it could only watch as Qian Qi fell into the Illusion Realm.
Fortunately, this Magic Beast’s attack was not a materialized spiritual power attack, but an illusion type, capable of stealing the opponent’s thoughts to create an illusion, even transforming the Illusion Beast into the image appearing in her mind.
Seeing Qian Qi talking to the air, the system realized the Illusion Beast had transformed into its own image because it was curious if Qian Qi could distinguish the illusion, so it didn’t directly smite the Illusion Beast.
Of course, part of the reason was that this Illusion Beast was the BOSS chosen by the instance, and Qian Qi needed to kill it herself.
It didn’t expect that Qian Qi would recognize the illusion so quickly and mercilessly stab the Illusion Beast!
Solely because the other party was "free" and not stingy!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
What is this feeling of being both happy and angry!
After getting stabbed twice by Qian Qi, the Illusion Beast revealed its true form, a fluffy small Illusion Beast with wings, about the size of a soccer ball. It floated in the air, clutching its punctured belly, weak and furious, "You can see through me! Why! Why!"
"You want to know?" Qian Qi wiped the dagger clean, raised an eyebrow at the Illusion Beast, and beckoned with a finger, "Come here, I’ll secretly tell you your flaw, and I promise you’ll walk horizontally here in the future without ever fearing any Fire Dragon again."
The Illusion Beast suspiciously glanced at Qian Qi, hesitated, and eventually floated over.
The next second, Qian Qi raised her hand and stabbed the Illusion Beast five more times.
With each stab, she said:
"Why should I tell you? Slash—"
"Is this appearance and wound also an illusion? You think you can fool me? Slash—"
"Whether or not it’s an illusion, it’s never wrong to stab a few more times! Slash—"
"Oh? Still not dodging? Quite stubborn, huh? Slash—"
"Has anyone told you that the feel of stabbing you is quite good? I’m a bit addicted. Slash—"
"Ahhhhh!" The Illusion Beast was maddened with anger, reaching out with claws to scratch her, but when Qian Qi raised her dagger, it shrank back, trembling fearfully, "Don’t, don’t kill me!"
The nearby system quickly flew over, [Alright, alright, stop bullying it.]
"It transformed into your appearance," Qian Qi said disdainfully, affectionately touching the system panel, then suddenly raising the dagger to stab at the system panel, drawing out a puddle of blue blood.
Illusion Beast: ???
Why? Why is it seen through again?
"Huh? I was just probing, didn’t think it was real," Qian Qi looked at the blood dripping from the dagger in surprise, "Tsk, I meant to stab the system under your guise, but I failed."
The nearby system: ...
I suspect you weren’t probing but knew I was nearby, so you deliberately said it for me to hear!
"Hey, little Illusion Beast, are you B-level or A-level?" Qian Qi played with the A-level Dagger in her hand, "Shouldn’t be just this capability, right? I have other things to do, let’s wrap this up quickly?"
Provoked by Qian Qi in this manner, the Illusion Beast was furious, initially thinking a C-level Illusion Skill could easily deal with this human, but unexpectedly it backfired eight times. Fortunately, these were merely minor injuries, not enough to damage its core.
Since she wants me to use my true abilities...
The Illusion Beast sneered, and the small Illusion Beast and the system panel in front of Qian Qi suddenly vanished.
And Qian Qi only felt a blackness before her eyes, and the next second, she fainted on the ground.
...
"Qiqi! Run fast!"
A familiar voice sounded in her ear, yet it was a shrill and urgent shout.
A little girl, merely six years old, raised her head in confusion, terrified by the horrifying scene before her, collapsing weakly to the ground, only to see ruins all around her, where originally tall buildings were completely uprooted by a titanic Demon Vine like a disturbing giant serpent, penetrating into rubble in mid-air.
Countless humans fell like raindrops to the ground, smashed into flesh mud amidst a chorus of terrified screams.
"Qiqi! Don’t be afraid! Mom and Dad will protect you!"
A gentle and serene-looking woman tightly embraced the girl, sliding the Light Brain from her wrist into the girl’s shirt pocket, "Listen to Mom, run in the direction of home, run as fast as you can, don’t look back, okay?"
"Mom..." The girl’s cry was soft yet hoarse, "I’m scared... can you stay with me?"
"I can’t, Mom has work to do, Qiqi is the bravest, not afraid of these Demons, right?" The woman gently wiped away the girl’s tears, her eyes starting to redden, "Mom loves you, Dad loves you too, you must..."
The woman choked up, unable to finish her sentence, "Go home and wait for Mom and Dad, okay?"
The girl finally nodded, she glanced at her dad not far away. The man wore black-eye framed glasses, sternly focusing on the towering Demon Vine, lifting a grand golden shield with his hand to block the falling rubble outside, also protecting the survivors beneath the shield.
"No time left, this Demon Vine is evolving!" The man furrowed his brows and shouted to his wife, "If it evolves into an S-level Magic Plant, the entire Central State will become its nourishment!"
"We must hold it here, not let it move another step!"
"Qiqi! Don’t fear, Dad will block it." The man looked deeply at his daughter, adding a layer of the golden shield to her, "Don’t look back, run home, I’ll get you your favorite ice cream when I return."
The girl hoarsely hummed a response, turned around, and began to run towards home, the sound of the Demon Vine battering the golden shield echoed behind her. She wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks, continuously climbing over the ruins beneath her feet, passing through pools of severed limbs and flesh mud.
Qiqi is not afraid, Qiqi is the bravest, not afraid at all.
The girl gazed straight ahead, clutching the Light Brain in her chest pocket tightly, knowing her dad was a near S-level Defense System Awakener, he would protect Mom, they would be all right, Qiqi would be all right too.
She continuously encouraged herself in her heart, yet the overflowing tears made her vision increasingly blurred. She was only six, and the scene before her eyes was undoubtedly too cruel. Falling accidentally to the ground, she scraped her knee beneath her skirt, and as she looked down, she found what tripped her was a human head.
Will Qiqi end up like this too?
The girl’s tears grew more abundant as she got up, wanting to keep running, but a corpse suddenly fell from above, hitting the golden shield, bursting into a burst of blood mud that flowed down. The corpse’s face was frozen in terror, with burst eyes sliding over the shield, staring directly at the little girl.
The little girl finally couldn’t hold on anymore.
