Chapter 1098: Oasis
Chen Rui’s eyes flickered with a he cold light— It really is a mirage, and it is even at the peak stage of the Demi-G.o.d. It seems that it had been staying in the Black Prison Desert for many years, posing as the Dreamy Oasis to prey on the incoming people. Then the real Dreamy Oasis…
“Sir!” Regia exclaimed in surprise, “This mirage looks like… it’s the legendary guardian subordinate of Tezaneer!”
“Guardian subordinate?”
Chen Rui frowned, then he saw Regia suddenly being startled as if he saw something unimaginable. His face was full of horror. He actually knelt down, “Your Majesty…”
Before Chen Rui could speak, the scene in front of him suddenly changed greatly. He saw Duoduo, whom he had been worrying about for a long time, locked in a cage-like enchantment, and outside the cage, there was a figure with 6 pairs of wings. Raphael!
Under Raphael’s feet, lies a blood-soaked woman. Obviously, her life was in danger. It was actually Catherine!
Chen Rui’s eyes narrowed. Although it felt so realistic, he knew very well that it was just the mirage’s illusion power. At the same time, the Super System’s spirit power invasion prompt sounded again.
Chen Rui snorted and disregarded any scene that appeared in front of him. He waved his hand at the place shown by the [a.n.a.lytical Eyes], and 7 huge light b.a.l.l.s suddenly shot out. The light b.a.l.l.s were connected together by wisps of light. The explosion happened in an instant.
The white light shone, and the entire illusion was torn apart. The original appearance of the mirage appeared again, but most of the sh.e.l.l on its body had been shattered, and its breath had also been weakened.
The mirage itself was the best at creating illusions. Its spirit power was so strong that even those who had the same level of strength could not escape, but its own physique and strength were weak. After being hit by this [7-star Explosion], it was seriously injured.
When Chen Rui folded his hands together, the hot air suddenly became icy cold. The mirage’s body suddenly froze. Half of its body was frozen by the power of [Winter Territory], unable to activate the illusion power.
Regia just woke up from the illusion, sweating like rain while panting heavily, “What just happened?”
In fact, Regia was just affected by the aftermath of the illusion. The real target of the mirage was Chen Rui. Unfortunately, it was defeated before the illusion power was exerted. Otherwise, once Regia fell too deep into the illusion, his spirit would collapse directly.
“No matter what you see, it’s not real,” Chen Rui turned his head and asked, “You said just now, that this thing is the guardian subordinate of Tezaneer?”
“Yes.” Regia wiped the sweat from his head, “In Tezaneer’s related books, its name is ‘Doandroma’, which means Dream Guardian. I just don’t know that it is a mirage. Even in Tezaneer’s G.o.ddess statue, it also has a place. It is usually in the form of a mount at the feet of the G.o.ddess.”
“Understood, then it must know the whereabouts of the real Dreamy Oasis.” Chen Rui slowly walked toward the mirage. The mirage exerted all its strength to erode Chen Rui’s mind but to no avail.
Because Chen Rui was now wearing a black armor: Wrath King Armor.
The Wrath King Armor could not only greatly reduce physical damage and magic damage, but it also protects the soul against spirit erosion. Before entering the ‘Dreamy Oasis’, Chen Rui did not realize that he was facing a mirage, so he did not put on the Wrath King Armor.
Chen Rui did not only equip the Wrath King Armor, but also another item, the G.o.d-Eating Mask.
The G.o.d-Eating Mask glowed with a faint yellow light, and a strange power enveloped the mirage. The mirage felt the crisis and struggled desperately, but it still could not escape this strange power.
What Chen Rui had to do next was to use the G.o.d-Eating Mask to control the mirage’s soul and find out where the real Dreamy Oasis was.
The mirage was shrouded by the power of the G.o.d-Eating Mask, and all the spirit power it emitted was reflected back. At the same time, a terrifying power infiltrated its soul.
The G.o.d-Eating Mask could control the soul of the enemy weaker than himself and make it a subordinate of his own accord. The spirit power of Chen Rui and the mirage were both at the level of SSS, and they were the peak stage of the Demi-G.o.d level. The spirit level of Chen Rui with galaxy faith was above the mirage, plus the mirage was now severely injured and imprisoned by [Winter Territory], so he should be able to fully control it.
Chen Rui’s brows raised abruptly behind the mask, because he felt that in the soul of the mirage, there was a powerful will that was actually fighting against the power of the G.o.d-Eating Mask.
This will was by no means the mirage’s own. It felt a bit familiar as though he had encountered it in Black Death Sandstorm just now.
In the clouds, the pair of closed eyes.
Under the influence of this will, the power of the G.o.d-Eating Mask was temporarily unable to infiltrate the soul of the mirage.
During the stalemate, the mask’s eyes flashed a purple starlight, and his whole body showed a dazzling light. The powerful force instantly covered that will. If it was the will itself, even if he used the starlight power, he could not suppress it. But in the body of the mirage, the power that the will could exert could not exceed the limitations of the mirage itself, so in just an instant, the G.o.d-Eating Mask broke through the defense of that will.
Just as Chen Rui was about to succeed, he frowned suddenly – Before the G.o.d-Eating Mask could control the mirage’s soul, the mirage’s body suddenly twisted and burst apart.
At the moment the G.o.d-Eating Mask wanted to control the mirage’s soul, that will detonated the mirage’s soul and body.
The mirage that had always been good at controlling others with illusion was just a manipulated puppet in this short and fierce battle from beginning to end.
Chen Rui’s closed eyes slowly opened. Although the explosive power of its soul was sudden and strong, it was not enough for him who had activated the [Pole Star Transformation].
“Sir, look over there…” Regia’s voice sounded behind him. Chen Rui looked over. It turned out that the mirage’s body didn’t disappear after it burst apart, but it turned into a path of faint white light to the s.p.a.ce ahead.
This was not the power that Chen Rui activated. It was…
Clearly, the real battle had only just begun.
“You don’t want me, an uninvited guest, to continue destroy the kingdom you’ve built… or the system, so have you finally decided to meet?”
The surrounding s.p.a.ce began to collapse, leaving only the path.
It seemed that Tezaneer did not give more than one option.
When Chen Rui glanced at Regia, Regia fainted. Then, he saw a flash of light beside Chen Rui and disappeared.
After Chen Rui used the Tower of Glory to keep Regia, he took a deep breath and walked toward the path of white light step by step.
At the end of the path was a light door.
The light door opened on its own, and Chen Rui walked in. It was a refres.h.i.+ng green with fresh breath everywhere. This scene made Chen Rui feel familiar. Small lakes, woods… Yes, an oasis!
Exactly the same, the oasis created by the mirage just now!
Chen Rui thought of the ‘s.p.a.ce refraction’ attribute of the mirage in the [a.n.a.lytical Eyes], and he immediately understood that the oasis was not completely fabricated. Rather, it was a real projection that was refracted! In other words, the oasis in front of him was the real Dreamy Oasis!
So, is the Phantom Springwater also real? And the fire condensing crystal sand that still has no clues?
Chen Rui walked forward unhurriedly. With every step he took, he was secretly adjusting his Star Power to maintain the optimum state as much as possible.
He didn’t know what kind of existence he was going to face, but at the moment, his mentality was as unstoppable as when he punched in the face of the Black Death Sandstorm.
Chen Rui’s footsteps stopped, and he raised his head. The white clouds in the sky began to gradually condense and form a shape. It was the image of the woman that he saw at the beginning. It was much clearer than last time, but the appearance was relatively hazy; her eyes were still closed.
The woman’s body glowed with white radiance, giving people a feeling of sacredness that could not be looked directly at. Chen Rui clearly felt that it was faith power.
The white light shone on the ground, and the breath of life in the entire oasis suddenly became 100 times richer. The sky seemed brighter, and the lake water was clearer. The breath that seemed to be alive brought great pressure on Chen Rui. He felt that the surrounding s.p.a.ce was full of terrifying might; even the air almost solidified.
“Very powerful faith power.” Chen Rui suddenly said. A strange power spread along the sound, and the surrounding might seem to be swept by the rippling water waves. Even the strongest power might not be able to completely eliminate that kind of soft power. The original ‘solidified’ balance was suddenly broken. Although it was still terrifying, it was no longer perfect.
Use the greatest softness in the world to tame the strongest in the world.
[Water Sword].
A real sword was not necessarily a sword.
Chen Rui had launched a sword strike to dispel the might of the woman in the cloud.
“However, I can feel the incomplete of this faith power. Obviously, this faith doesn’t really belong to you. Perhaps you can’t truly own these faiths.”
Chen Rui looked up at the image of the cloud, but that kind of looking up was more like ignorance. He slowly turned around and said behind him, “Because you are not a G.o.d. Nonetheless, most of the time, you regard yourself as a G.o.d. Have you been playing a role for too long that you can’t extricate yourself from the role and return to your real self?”
He was talking, but it was also another sword strike.
If the previous sword strike was tangible, then this sword was intangible.
The sword that attacked the mind was more deadly.
The woman formed by the white clouds in the sky disappeared. On the other hand, a silhouette of rays of light began to quickly become clear behind Chen Rui.
Long silver hair.
The eyes were still closed, and the facial features were slightly blurred, but the proportions were extremely perfect.
The snow-white robe without extra inlays or patterns looked luxurious and graceful.
There was a calm breath all over her, but a storm-like terrifying power seemed to be brewing in this calm.
Chen Rui just turned around and faced the woman who should be called the oracle.
Even without looking at the data in the [a.n.a.lytical Eyes], he could sense the power of this woman. This kind of feeling could only be experienced when facing the most peak stage powerhouses such as Michael, Satan, and Raphael!
