Chapter 506 Illusory Monster
The incident happened when Lucario left, and I had already contacted Beatrice, asking her to find a way to recruit the next day after the planner of the inheritance cave scam.
I would be too naive to think that this mission could end so smoothly.
While the brave man is a protector of the people, he is also a troublemaker of the same size. Just like the primary school student of the Death God in a Japanese mystery comic, although he has not gone anywhere, there will be such an exaggerated murder case. Anywhere the brave man visits will cause events of big or small without exception.
These events may be caused by the accumulation of time and eventually erupting, but they may also occur without warning. The former is mostly mainly related to monsters or natural disasters, and this time it triggers undoubtedly belong to the latter.
According to the description of local villagers, traces of illusion monsters appeared outside the inheritance cave.
Here I will give a brief introduction to the differences between the fantasy monsters in the different world and modern earthly fantasy works.
As modern earthlings, there is almost no one who knows it. The fantasy works featured by a dead child with a lightning scar on his head. The fantasy monster is a deformation creature that will become the thing that the person facing it fears the most. No one knows what the fantasy monster looks like when no one looks at it. The fantasy monster especially likes confined spaces, but may also be found in forests or dark corners.
From the above information, it is not difficult to see that although the illusion monster reflects the fear in others' hearts, it is still harmless overall. However, with the differences in regionality and planes, the monsters of the same name that survive in another world are not as kind as those in Harry Potter.
In the initial stage, the illusion monsters in the other world are not threatening. Since they do not have a stable appearance at this time, they look like an irregular air mass that floats slowly from a distance. Even if they accidentally make contact, as long as they run away immediately, the illusion monsters that are slow and have no attack methods cannot block any obstacles.
However, if you stay in the air mass for too long, the problem will be great, because the sage monster will invade the body of the sergeant and use it as the host. As time goes by, the sage monster will gradually gain the same abilities and appearance as the host.
However, it is still only the second stage here. At this time, the illusion monsters will frequently appear in front of the host. However, they are still unable to harm the host for the time being, and they are too far away from the host. Therefore, they only need to use a hairpin to drive away the monster's skills to the host body, or enter the barrier that isolates the monster. The illusion monster will be forced to be expelled from the host body and restore to its original form of air.
Thanks to this feature, although the illusion monster has a high risk assessment, it is quite low in threat.
But if you continue to ignore it, when the illusion monster evolves into the third stage, things will be in trouble.
The survival rules of the illusion monster are very simple, they only have the following six words: imitation, assimilation, and replacement.
After evolving to the third stage, the originally peaceful coexistence state will come to an end. When you obtain the physical body, the illusion monster will immediately launch an attack like a host and will stop until death.
Because of mastering all the host's memories and personality traits, the ability values and combat skills are exactly the same, the host will undoubtedly fall into a hard battle, and the result of defeat will naturally be replaced by the illusion monster, and this replacement is comprehensive. The illusion monster will completely get rid of the monster's identity and transform into the host's race at this time.
At the same time, as mentioned above, since the illusion monster copied everything about the host, even if the host has been replaced, the relatives around him could not notice anything unusual.
Why does the illusion want to replace the host? And what is the purpose of doing this?
After hundreds of years, research scholars have not yet discussed the clear results, and among adventurers, there is also an interesting proverb related to the illusion: When did you have the illusion or yourself, rather than the illusion that you have been replaced by the illusion?
At first glance, the content is very funny, but if you think about it carefully, it will feel a little creepy.
Well, let's get back to the topic.
I learned from the villagers that the third type of illusion monster appeared near the inheritance cave. At first, I didn’t mean to get involved, but soon, as the news became more detailed, as the irrelevant person, I began to feel interesting and chose to join the group of villagers watching and joining the fun.
The object of being boarded by the Magic Monster this time was not someone else, but the problem child Lucario mentioned - the Dark Sword Sect.
Why did my half body attack me?
According to the news brought back by the first witness at that time, the Dark Sword Sector still did not give up the possibility of dialogue with the illusion monster while confronting the illusion monster. He still called on the other party with a fast sword that others could not interfere.
Ah, from such a short sentence, I have been able to analyze why the illusion monster was able to safely survive the weak period of the first two stages and evolve into the final form.
This idiot must have suffered from a secondary disease, and he treated the illusion monster as his special ability to awaken, or perhaps he was a second personality!
However, if it is only this level, it will be just an ordinary farce at most. However, because the illusion monster completely replicates the host's personality, the original uproar has instantly escalated and has become a hilarious comedy that no one can miss as long as they are.
This is what I should say. I am not an ordinary ordinary person, but a brave man. He holds the different name of the Dark Sword Sect, and is destined to save the fate of this world. You are gathering my pain, jealousy, sadness, anger... The dark side of the soul that splits from all negative emotions from my body. Ah, yes, the unfavorable element that comes out of the glass in my body to make me closer to perfection. The young man holding the two black swords and calling it the Dark Sect Sect Sect No. 2 looked sad. He inserted one of the swords into the ground and pinched his left chest with his right hand: However, this is true arrogance. Even if it is not perfect, it doesn't matter. In the future, I will carry these bad human natures and continue to move forward---in order to experience people's hearts and sorrows, such a weight is just right!
Gu! Overwhelmed by the momentum of the black magic sword envoy No. 2, No. 1 bit his lower lip and whispered from his teeth: As a famous saying that must be said once in life, isn’t this quite handsome? It’s really worthy of being half of my body...
Maintaining a verbal artillery battle that is comparable to the attack and defense that is difficult to capture by the naked eye, inheriting the square in front of the cave, becoming the best stage for the brave men of the second-year disease.
