Chapter 329: Burning Delusion
Within the fog, on the battlefield.
Such a scene unexpectedly appeared.
Strange! Absurd!
Even though it wasn’t his own neck the executioner was about to chop off, Luo Yan still felt a chill down his spine.
At the same time, he had a gut feeling that if the executioner were to chop, Di Zheng would also be affected.
At this moment, in the view of the ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’, whether it was the executioner or the pale-faced Di Zheng, they were both illusions, without the essence of living beings.
Clearly, these two illusions were the ‘Entity of Fear’!
Luo Yan stared at those two ‘Entities of Fear’, feeling a burning sensation in his eyes again, but this time it was not as intense as before.
As the fiery patterns in Luo Yan’s red eyes burst into flames, the executioner, who had already raised the guillotine, suddenly had the red tassel on his hat above his head erupt in flames.
Then crimson flames surged up one after another.
Then even the pale-faced Di Zheng, his hair and body, started to emit flames.
In an instant, both ‘Entity of Fear’ caught fire and turned into two bright red torches.
They let out painful screams in the flames, their bodies quickly turning black, with fiery red cracks appearing.
In a short moment, both ‘Entity of Fear’ burned to ashes, their figures gradually turning into black smoke, dispersing in the mist.
Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes, Burning Delusion!
At the same time, in the distance, a large cat let out a cry, one of the Overlord-level giant beast’s claws inexplicably caught fire, rising with the same bright red flames as the burnt ‘Entity of Fear’ just now.
It frantically beat its paw, stirring up a strong wind, struggling for a moment before extinguishing the flames on its paw.
But similar to the injured tail, ‘Huan’s claw had already burned to the bone, with some flesh and fur burned clean.
Luo Yan noticed this phenomenon, stunned for a moment, realizing that when burning delusions, using illusions, the one who created the delusions would also be attacked.
Also, at this moment, under Luo Yan’s gaze, the big cat creature’s grayish light, at the tip of its tail and the parts of its paws that had just been burned, emitted a red glow.
It seemed that even though the crimson flames had disappeared, the big cat still bore some kind of mark.
At this moment, ‘Huan’ roared, and four tails behind it lifted up, emitting strands of light.
Copper-green, crimson yellow, silver-gray, vermillion…
Various colors converged and mixed together, forming a colorful curtain of light that slowly unfurled, displaying a fantastical array of images, painting a vivid picture of life, seemingly unreal.
This colorful curtain of light rapidly expanded and spread out, enveloping the surrounding mist, the giant beast’s bones, and even a few mechas nearby.
Anti-Membrane!
Upon seeing this curtain of light, Luo Yan knew that ‘Huan’ had unleashed the Anti-Membrane.
The academy’s mentors had once explained that an Overlord-level giant beast’s Anti-Membrane was much more powerful than that of an upper rank giant beast.
Apart from being immune to all attacks except Elemental Power, it also has the ability to strengthen itself and weaken the effects of Elemental Power.
In addition, the key and most distinctive trait of an Overlord-level giant beast’s Anti-Membrane is that within its range, other giant beasts will receive a certain degree of enhancement.
Their physical strength and various abilities will be enhanced.
It is because of this ability to enhance the group that giant beasts of this level are given the title of ‘Overlord’.
When ‘Huan’ unleashed the Anti-Membrane, two upper-rank giant beasts fighting in the mecha base outside the forbidden area suddenly felt something.
These two giant beasts, one is the Snakesong that once attacked Di Zheng, and the other is Mengji who can control corpses.
Both giant beasts seemed to be invisibly summoned, turning their heads towards the depths of the forbidden area, then leaving the base and heading straight to the forbidden area.
At that moment.
In the cockpit of ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan looked through the panoramic window and saw a colorful light screen surging like a tide.
Then, the light screen seeped into the cockpit, flooding everything and passing by Luo Yan in an instant.
When Luo Yan came to his senses, he was no longer in the cockpit, but appeared in front of an alley.
It was night time, the light from the street lamps at the entrance of the alley was dim, and a few moths were fluttering around the light bulbs.
The sound of a bell, coming from an unknown direction, rang 12 times in a row. Suddenly, two red lights lit up in the darkness deep in the alley.
Those were two big red lanterns, casting light on a wooden door with door gods pasted on it.
Luo Yan took in a sharp breath.
Now he had a rough idea of what those trapped in illusions had experienced.
These people, including him, had faced their greatest fears.
Just like now.
Midnight, alley, big red lantern.
These elements perfectly matched a strange legend he knew.
Creak.
The wooden door in the alley creaked open on its own, the sound echoing loudly in the silence, causing Luo Yan’s hair to stand on end.
Soon he saw flickering firelight and shadows inside the door, seeming lively.
It looked like a marketplace, yet eerily silent.
Because.
This is the ‘Ghost Market’!
As if sensing Luo Yan, the outsider outside the door, the figures inside – old and young, men and women – all stopped in their tracks.
Then, one by one, they turned around, rotated 180 degrees, and looked at Luo Yan with pale faces.
Suddenly, a voice from unknown direction said, “Guest has arrived”, and the surroundings around Luo Yan changed with shadows and lights. When the changes stopped, he found himself in a marketplace.
He turned back and saw a stone doorstep, with a wooden door creaking shut.
Suddenly, his clothes were tugged.
As Luo Yan turned around, he saw a pale-faced boy around eight or nine years old, with rosy cheeks, dark circles around his eyes, and eyes with a lot of white showing.
The boy showed a creepy smile, holding a box and said, “Big brother, want to buy some steamed buns? They are all freshly made meat buns.”
He opened the box, revealing white and hard steamed buns inside.
The buns seemed roughly made, with the fillings exposed.
Luo Yan then saw fingers, eyeballs, ears, and other things inside.
It’s clear that there’s something unusual in the filling of that bun.
He didn’t respond, his eyes just lit up, and the “Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes” were activated!
Suddenly, the children in front of him, the market around him, and the figures around him were all covered in flames.
Everything became transparent and surreal.
Luo Yan’s vision pierced through all these illusions, he saw the cockpit of the “White Dragon”, and outside the panoramic window, a giant beast at the Overlord-level had already knocked down the “Flying Thunder” and was biting its head.
The “Flying Thunder” showed no reaction, as if Dugu Changxin was trapped in a hallucination.
Fiery light immediately emerged in the crimson eyes, making the market and the illusory figures burst into flames.
Just as the big cat was about to bite down on the head of the “Flying Thunder”, it suddenly let out a tragic scream, as a crimson flame burst from its back this time, causing it to roll off the mecha and thrash wildly on the ground, knocking the beast bones around.
In Luo Yan’s view, at this moment, in the grayish glow of the big cat, a crimson glow appeared on its back and seemed to resonate with the red glows at the tail end and front paws!
