"Remembered? What did you remember?"
Startled, Catherine looked at him dejectedly, feeling a pang in her teeth.
Isaac smiled mysteriously:
"You haven't forgotten, have you? Lin Ran knows illusions..."
"And his mastery of illusions is so profound, it's absolutely no exaggeration to say he's reached the pinnacle."
"Although he doesn't use illusions as his main attack in his daily activities, often using them for support, this still cannot be overlooked."
"On the contrary, perhaps it's precisely because he uses illusions so little that we've gradually become complacent and forgotten the terrifying nature of illusions."
"The reason we have this misconception is likely due to his illusions."
Arthur was surprised:
"Then, if that's the case, isn't his mastery of illusions a bit too terrifying..."
"It's one thing to fool opponents on the field, but to be able to influence us as well."
"This is no longer a simple one-on-one situation, but a large-scale illusion array that has been laid out..."
"The most outrageous thing is that this illusion array was set up completely without anyone noticing, and we haven't even found definitive evidence of its existence until now."
"What proves its existence is merely our reasonable conjecture..."
Caesar stretched leisurely, sighing:
"Don't forget, he's Lin Ran..."
"As that great demon king who swept through everything, isn't it natural for him to possess such inhuman skills?"
Right, he's Lin Ran...
Upon hearing Caesar's words, the others also looked resigned.
Indeed, if the person who accomplished all this was named Lin Ran, then all these problems seemed to be solved.
As a symbol of miracles himself, any divine action he took could probably be explained away.
Looking back at the battlefield.
Yuan, who had been pinned to the barrier by Lin Ran's spear, had just recovered from his shock. Feeling the searing pain in his chest, he tried to forcibly pull out the Spear of Destiny.
But unfortunately, if the Spear of Destiny were that easy for others to wield, it would not deserve the name of a divine artifact.
So, no matter how hard Yuan tried, the Spear of Destiny did not budge an inch, firmly pinning him to the barrier.
However, Lin Ran, who clearly had other intentions, did not rush to finish off the fallen Yuan with a final blow.
Instead, he enthusiastically brandished the Blade of Slaughter and engaged in a fierce battle with the heroic spirits and dragon souls below.
Although the 12+12=24 summoned beings were formidable, the hindrance they could pose to Lin Ran was still quite limited.
Let alone Lin Ran's bizarre footwork and exquisite weapon manipulation, even his prediction skills, which could be described as invincible, were dazzling to behold.
Visually, the heroic spirits and dragon souls seemed to be coordinating with Lin Ran, their attacks narrowly missing him every time without causing any obstruction.
If it weren't for the fact that the heroic spirits and dragon souls were demonstrably summoned by Yuan right before their eyes, one might have thought they were sent by Lin Ran to throw the match...
Or perhaps, this was some pre-arranged acrobatic performance?
"Such... such strong perception..."
Lin Ran's displayed abilities caused Isaac to stutter again.
Petra nodded, looking dejected:
"Indeed..."
"And what's even more monstrous is that he has such profound mastery over every weapon!"
"Did you notice?"
"This guy has already switched four weapons while battling those heroic spirits..."
"A sword imbued with holy light, a sword imbued with curses, a strangely shaped scythe, and the bow that shot me down at full power."
"If we count the spear that pinned Shimada Yuan to the wall, that's five!"
"To hone weapon usage skills, besides unique cultivation methods, requires extensive combat experience."
"How could he, a young man not even twenty years old, have so much time?!"
"It's not like the flow of time is different for him, where one second for us is ten seconds for him..."
Arthur also sighed:
"And his physical strength is also incredibly outrageous..."
"Just having the legendary Golden Dragon bloodline is one thing, but the way he exerts force is also something never seen before."
"The fact that he could fly through the air by simply pushing off with his leg muscles was already absurd enough."
"Now, upon closer observation, he can not only unleash extremely powerful attacks and speed with sudden bursts from his arms or ankles, but it also causes no damage to his bodily functions."
"Normally, brute force based on physical prowess alone could defeat many, but he can also crush others by converting his physique into offensive efficiency, creating a gap of several times."
"And he's still a skilled technician!"
"Frankly, the combat power of those ninja heroic spirits and green dragon souls is already extremely formidable."
"But even with a pincer attack, they can only achieve this much..."
"A perfect physique combined with top-tier skills, it's not an exaggeration to call Lin Ran a melee dream..."
"Perhaps my knowledge is limited... but in my impression, only that forbidden existence could be comparable to him in his youth."
"Mysterious and ancient Dragon Country... it's truly a place that produces monsters..."
Hearing Arthur say this, the others also fell into a silent contemplation, unsure of how to console themselves.
The shock brought about by Lin Ran repeatedly made them sigh with emotion. Only Adam Hammer, who was further away, maintained a placid expression.
Although it was unclear if this calmness stemmed from a lack of human emotion or was feigned.
...
Back on the battlefield.
Lin Ran continuously switched the divine artifacts in his hands, each time perfectly blocking, slicing, deflecting, or dodging the attacks of the heroic spirits and dragon souls.
All one could say was, Observation Haki was truly useful!
Furthermore, after such a long battle, Lin Ran had gradually grasped the combat methods and styles of these heroic spirits and dragon souls, making it even more effortless for him to deal with them.
Although it appeared he was surrounded and unable to organize any effective way to break through the encirclement, and he hadn't inflicted any substantial damage on the green dragons and heroic spirits, this was actually within Lin Ran's plan.
It wouldn't be good if these useful things were injured...
Moreover, a more insane decision was forming in Lin Ran's mind!
That is, inspired by these heroic spirits—the Six Paths of Pain plan!
