This assassin was hidden among the Templars in advance, and there was no leakage at all. When Satiri cast the spell, he was knocked to the ground like the others, but quickly recovered.
In Atas, there is a special group of people called the untouchables. A long time ago, the magic experiment of Abelela Chili, the witch king of Ram City, created this group. They are naturally immune to the mind-reading effects of psychic energy, and they are also difficult to be brainwashed and influenced by psychic energy. The Witch King created these people with the original intention of dealing with a great psychic who called himself the Puppet Master. He did not expect that this group of people would eventually form the largest assassin organization on Atas - the Face Dancer.
¡°Did this assassin come for me from the beginning, or did he have another purpose and just happened to meet me? The psion thought quickly.
The explosion destroyed the light sail of the magic ship and completely jammed the main rudder. The magic ship stalled sharply and all objects that were not fixed on the deck flew up. Some sailors did not react in time and were thrown out, screaming. Disappeared into the black void of the astral world.
"We can't let him inform the Witch King." The message from the Coral Witch suddenly sounded in his mind, and he suddenly fell into a trance.
Time immediately flows back.
Mohadi felt that his memory was confused, and two overlapping timelines coexisted with each other. He noticed that the Coral Witch's spell did not work properly. Although the assassin escaped through the suddenly opened portal, he cunningly left props in place that could interfere with time-based spells. The out-of-control arcane energy exploded violently.
Due to the interference, time only went back for a few blinks. The portal used by the assassin to escape was only closing quickly and would disappear without a trace in a moment.
"Catch him." The psychic warlock sent a message to Satiri at this lightning moment, and he also realized that the Witch Kings could not be vigilant. "I can handle this."
The response of the Coral Witch was to solemnly promise that she would come back after dealing with the assassin. The Psion had a feeling that staying by her side would have a positive influence on herself.
The Face Dancer Assassin disappeared into the portal, followed by Satiri, and then the portal quickly disappeared. After that, an explosion caused by out-of-control arcane energy swept the entire ship.
The psychic warlock concentrated his energy and created a huge shield, which firmly restrained the power of the explosion. Dazzling light spots erupted from time to time on the light blue shield. Muhadi felt as if he was taming a wild horse with his bare hands. Satiri's spells were different from those of any blasphemer mage or guardian mage, exuding a deadly of radiation.
Even though he felt no pain, Muhadi noticed that his physical condition was deteriorating at an accelerated pace. There are more and more cancerous organs and tissues. For the psychic who has no sense of pain, it will not cause any big trouble for the time being, but it will definitely not be a good thing if it drags on.
He barely suppressed the out-of-control arcane energy, sweating profusely all over his body, and his heartbeat seemed to burst from his chest. Every time I took a breath, my throat and throat felt severely abrasive, as if they were on fire.
But the damage has already been done. The light sail and main rudder of this magic ship have been damaged. Even if it can be repaired, it will take a lot of effort. The psion is not very familiar with the principles and mechanical structure of the magic ship.
Satiri chased the Face Dancer assassin into the portal and never came out. So Muhadi could only seek help from others. He glanced around and found that the smuggler captain was still alive. He seemed to be afraid of the soul. The warlock noticed himself and was hiding among the surviving sailors.
"Simon, Havarian." Mohadi said, his voice was not loud, but every survivor could hear it very clearly. "Do you want to face Hell immediately, or do you want to postpone the day of judgment?"
The smuggler captain stopped, turned around quickly, and said in a stammering voice: "Delay?"
"Then help see if this ship can still be repaired. If it can't be repaired, you will be in trouble." The psychic said to him, and then went to see the surviving sailors. What surprised him was that these people were not seriously injured. It seemed that they did not fight hard when they fought before.
Simon seemed to be amnesty and ran away quickly. It seemed that he went to the bottom warehouse to check whether there were suitable repair tools. The psychic used his spiritual power to help the sailors deal with their injuries, and then waited patiently.
It took a long time for Simon to come up from the magic cabin. Without mind-reading skills, just from the small twitching of his facial muscles, Muhaddi could tell that he had no good news to report.
"This" the smuggler captain struggled to express his words, "I'm afraid the damage to this ship exceeds my humble capabilities"
Mohadi waved his hand and said, "You can't fix it." He used what he already knew.He said angrily.
¡°Listen to my explanation, I¡¯m not passive and sagging, but¡±
"No need to say anything. I know what you want to say before you speak." The psychic said. "Since you are still alive now, it proves that I don't want to kill you for the time being."
"Then what should we do now?" Simon asked cautiously. "We can't walk, so why don't we just wait here? The star world is not a good place to wait for someone. There are pirates here, and there are many dangerous monsters Even if we don't encounter either of them, the Witch King's people are missing here. It will also arouse suspicion and someone will come to investigate."
"I said wait here." Muhadi said. "My companion has not returned yet."
"The Witch King's fleet will come to investigate the missing warship!" The smuggler captain was a little anxious. "Sir, you are powerful, but they can smash us into slag with just ten thousand palesangs! If we don't leave"
"I told you to wait here!" the psychic shouted in a louder tone, surprising even himself.
Simon trembled and did not dare to say anything more. He backed away cautiously and prepared to leave.
¡°Wait a minute,¡± Mohadi said. "Take someone to take a look at the ship the Templars are on. It may still be able to sail. If not, fix it!"
There is no sunrise or sunset in the star world, and there is no other convenient way to calculate time, so the psychic waits and counts silently in his heart. The sailors were in awe of him, walking around him busily, carrying valuables to the magic ship of the Templars, not daring to disturb him.
When Muhadim counted to fifteen thousand, Simon came again, trying to persuade the psion to leave before the Witch King's fleet came to check. But seeing the expression on the psion's face, he hesitated and finally gave up.
In the star world, there are all kinds of astronomical wonders and strange sights, and from time to time, comets with long colorful tails fly past in the distance. The celestial bodies here are also completely different from the starry sky observed on the earth. Their motion is much faster, and it is difficult to explain it with the physics on the earth, as if there is some completely different law behind them.
By the time he counted to forty thousand, the sailors had already repaired the magic ship the Templars were riding on, and had finished transporting the valuables. They looked at the psion from a distance, expecting him to give the order to leave. This desire is so strong that the resonance caused by their thought fluctuations can be clearly felt by the psychic without deliberately reading the mind.
More and more sailors were watching, and Simon was escorted up by them, approaching reluctantly. He seemed to have been elected as a representative by his sailors and once again offered his support to Muhadir. "grown ups¡¡"
"Just wait."
"But what's the use of this? It's impossible to locate a specific location in the star realm from the main material plane. You see, there is no fixed reference object here. We can say that we are waiting in place, but if you observe from other planes, That's not the case My lord's companion has been away for so long, so it might be difficult to teleport back directly. If she is smart enough, as you mentioned before, then she should know to go directly to Atas to meet you."
"So you question my decision?"
"No, no doubt!" Simon touched his chin and said. "It's just a small optimization suggestion, no disrespect at all."
"Rejected, continue to wait."
When counting to one hundred thousand, a strange-looking comet approached from a distance. The lookout reported that it might be an approaching fleet of magic ships. There were not many in number, but they could launch attacks from a long distance.
The smuggler captain was really anxious this time, "Sir, no matter what happens to your companionit would be foolish to wait here! If you don't leave, she will have no choice but to join your bones."
The Psion looked at the direction in which the Witch King's spaceship appeared, "Tell your people to move to the Templar's spaceship."
Hearing this, Simon felt as if the prisoner suddenly heard that his sentence was reduced, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°You stay,¡± Muhadi continued.
¡°This sentence seems to have taken out the smuggler¡¯s intestines and then filled them back with lead.
"Huh? But I can't help"
"I want to create an illusion." The psychic explained. "You said that there are terrible monsters that often appear in the star world. I want you to describe one to me, the most ferocious and dangerous one. It is best to kill an entire team of Templars in one go."
"Oh, let me think about it." Simon paused and said. "Is it possible to hunt brain demons?"
"Brain hunter? It sounds familiar. What is it?" asked the psychic.
"Terrible, very scary"?Evil things. Simon described them in a panicked tone, as if just mentioning them made him very uneasy. "No one knows where they come from. Some say they come from distant heavens, while others say they come from nightmare monsters from different dimensions." They have the innate ability to teleport and come and go without a trace. They are the most terrifying monsters in the star world. "
"What do they look like?" Muhadi asked again.
¡°It¡¯s unimaginably ugly,¡± Simon explained. "The erratic, yellow-orange greasy body is filled with countless short straws and tangled tentacles. More than a dozen slender tentacles are surrounding its layers of mouth, and the mouth is also crowded with rows of jagged tentacles. teeth."
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"No, but there are a lot of rumors about this monster! You will know it after you have been running a boat for a long time." Simon continued. "I haven't finished talking yet. Above the monster's mouth are four huge, yellow eyes with red irises. Behind them, there is a group of wriggling protrusions about a cubit wide. These protrusions are their stomachs. They have The innate teleportation ability can transport your brain directly into your mouth. It is said that some advanced brain-hunting demons hunt and kill the false gods of all worlds for food. Their stomachs have stored the brains of several gods."
"Sounds good." The psychic commented. He used his powers to find the image of this monster called the Brainhunter in the opponent's consciousness. "I'm going to create an illusion of the Brainhunter to make the Witch King's people think that the Templars were attacked by this monster. In this way, they won't be tracking so closely, and my whereabouts can be kept secret. longer."
"In addition, I will use supernatural powers to cover up the signs of our departure." Muhadi said. "If we leave too early, we won't be able to mislead the Witch King's people like this. My supernatural illusion lasts for a limited time, and I don't know if they can see it before the illusion dissipates."
The smuggler captain was relieved, and then shamelessly praised the psion for his actions, "I see, I thought you were worried about your companions."
"You think so?" Muhadi suddenly asked.
"Huh? She does seem to be worth the wait, I thought" Simon's voice trailed off.
"There is nothing wrong with it. Let's go, remember to take the unconscious Templar leader away with us." The psychic ordered.
"Of course!" the smuggler captain agreed. "But where? Direct flight to Atas?"
Muhadi thought for a moment and rejected the suggestion. "I'm not sure that the Witch King's people have been misled by my illusion. To be on the safe side, let's go to a place that's close enough to Atas without attracting attention."
"In this case I suggest that we go to Kavanagh first to avoid the limelight." The smuggler captain suggested. "That's the world closest to Athas and Mystara, the first planets conquered during the Great Crusade."
"Is it a suitable place to hide?" the psychic asked. "Who controls there?"
"There is no world more suitable than that place. There are dragons and snakes mixed together, three religions and nine schools, all-encompassing." Simon promised, patting his chest. "No one was there. And best of all, no one controlled it. There were no governors, emirs, khans, or pashas."
¡°Sounds like exactly where I¡¯m going next.¡±
"Then what are we waiting for?" Simon urged anxiously
