Upon seeing this scene, Hvin Rambis immediately broke free from his calm state, clearly realizing that he had fallen into a trap. Furthermore, he had already been affected to a certain extent.
Without any hesitation, he bent his back slightly as his body visibly swelled up.
His pupils turned vertical, turning from light blue to golden. His face, the back of his hands, and every inch of his skin that was exposed to the outside world grew ash-gray scales that were like stone.
With a ripping sound, the white shirt, black vest, formal coat, and straight pants he wore tore apart, revealing the dragon scales beneath.
In the blink of an eye, Hvin Rambis had turned into an abnormally massive monster. Apart from his head maintaining his human form, the rest of his body had completely mutated. He was like a grayish-white dragon that hadn't fully evolved and had yet to fully mature.
The dragon had two grayish-white wings on its back, and its limbs were rather thick. The grayish-white scales on its surface were engraved with complicated and three-dimensional mysterious symbols. They extended into its flesh and blood, extending into the surrounding void, as though they were interweaving into something that didn't belong to the real World. It left one in a state of confusion just by looking at it. Their thoughts would distort, and their Spirit Bodies would be tainted with all kinds of thoughts that seemed to come from the bottom of their hearts, wishing to tear or destroy themselves.
This was the incomplete Mythical Creature form of the Spectator pathway!
To demigods of other pathways who hadn't reached the level of an angel, they needed extremely strong willpower and firm beliefs to fight in their Mythical Creature form. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control the inclination towards madness and loss of control. There was a high chance that they would directly lose their rationality and truly become a monster. However, the Spectator pathway didn't need to be like that. They had Placate, a treatment that targeted the mind and mind. They weren't helpless against madness and loss of control. Therefore, as long as the battle didn't last too long, they could use their Mythical Creature form whenever they wanted. They could return to normal whenever they wanted.
Whoosh!
All the thoughts in Hvin Rambis's subconscious domain boiled. They churned and differentiated, pushing out the parts of his consciousness that had been implanted and modified before melting into nothingness.
Whoosh!
A violent gust of wind surged around the grayish-white dragon that Hvin Rambis had transformed into. It seemed to come from reality, but also seemed to originate from an illusion.
They carried some kind of will and blew in all directions. All the creatures that were caught up in them inevitably showed all kinds of abnormal states. Some trembled and stood rooted to the ground, some ran blindly and irrationally to the corner of the garden, some lost control of their bowels and urine, some lost control of their legs, some fainted and fell into a coma, and some showed a fanatical expression and became the followers of the giant dragon.
This was a qualitative change that stemmed from a Mythical Creature's Dragon Might. It had gone from a simple "Awe" to a "Mind Deprivation" with various effects!
Taking the opportunity of Dragon's Might sweeping through the surroundings, Hvin Rambis combined his will with his thoughts, transforming into illusory and sinister figures. From the sea of collective subconscious that most Beyonders couldn't see, he rapidly approached the German Sparrow on the roof and Audrey Hall at the edge of the garden.
As a Spectator, he could determine that the assailant was German Sparrow just because he couldn't see the person's face and bearing!
At this moment, Audrey was already muttering to herself, hypnotizing herself, according to the results of the discussion above the gray fog and the two demigods, The World and The Hermit.
"I can't see a thing, I can't hear a thing …
"I can't see a thing, I can't hear a thing …"
She was trying to prevent herself from having a mental disorder or even losing control from looking directly at Hvin Rambis's Mythical Creature form.
However, this also prevented her from "seeing" or sensing that one of Hvin Rambis's thoughts had approached her Body of Heart and Mind from the sea of collective subconscious.
But suddenly, in front of Hvin Rambis's "eyes," the island of consciousness corresponding to the blonde, green-eyed girl vanished.
Audrey felt a warmth on the surface of her body, as though she had returned from the cold and dark cave to the surface where the sun shone directly.
She hurriedly dispelled the hypnosis and opened her eyes. She saw that the sun in the sky had penetrated through the not too thin layer of clouds and was shining brilliantly. Amidst the golden and clear feeling, the autumn flowers were quietly blooming, beautiful and peaceful.
Audrey looked around in a daze, but she didn't see Hvin Rambis, German Sparrow, or the gigantic crimson moon.
This made her feel as though everything she had just experienced was a dream.
What a powerful ability … A battle between two demigods might not even touch a single flower. Audrey silently muttered to herself as she calmly left the garden and retreated to the corridor that connected the house to the house.
She was afraid that her existence would make German Sparrow apprehensive and affect his battle.
In the concealed World, one of Hvin Rambis's doppelgangers had simultaneously arrived at the German Sparrow's island of consciousness under the crimson moon.
Just as he was about to ascend and open the door to the Body of Heart and Mind to control the other party's subconscious and make him do all sorts of things that went against his own will, he realized that the illusory island that stood in the sea of collective subconscious was dead silent. There were no thoughts floating or flashing, making it impossible to affect it.
Puppet! Marionette! Hvin Rambis instantly made a judgment. Combining it with the information he had obtained in the past, he gained a deeper understanding of German Sparrow's situation.
He wasn't alarmed, nor was he depressed. Instead, he felt a little more joy and confidence. This was because a demigod of the Spectator pathway could easily distinguish the difference between a marionette and the main body. This greatly reduced the strength of German Sparrow's strongest abilities.
Besides, do you think you can use a marionette to render my mind invasion and consciousness control ineffective? The sinister and illusory Hvin Rambis swept the area with his golden vertical pupil and found the transparent channel that transmitted thoughts on the marionette's corresponding island of consciousness. This was the symbol of Spirit Body Threads in the mind world, in the consciousness domain!
Right on the heels of that, Hvin Rambis's figure flashed as he followed the transparent channel and found another island of consciousness hidden in the distance. This was the source of the marionette's control through thoughts. In other words, it belonged to the main body!
"Found you!"
Hvin Rambis snorted coldly, stirring up a terrifying mind storm in the surrounding sea of collective subconscious, making them smack at German Sparrow's island of consciousness again and again.
This caused the nearby "meteorological phenomena" to rapidly change. His spirituality's perception of the surroundings was greatly disrupted. Hvin Rambis took the opportunity to approach German Sparrow's island of consciousness and conjured a grayish-white staircase in an attempt to secretly invade his subconscious domain.
This was his usual combat style. One in the open and the other in the dark, constantly attacking while the other secretly infiltrating. Using both at the same time, it was very easy to destroy the target's mind barrier and gain initial control over the target's Body of Heart and Mind.
At the same time, he flew up in his dragon form and circled in midair. He used Dragon's Might and Breath to influence German Sparrow, complementing the battle in the mind domain.
At this moment, the illusory Hvin Rambis, who had secretly invaded German Sparrow's Body of Heart and Mind from the depths of the sea of collective subconscious, suddenly felt his vision blur. He saw an endless grayish-white fog, and the surrounding sea of collective subconscious and the mind island had all vanished.
Hvin Rambis's heart tightened as he hurriedly analyzed his psyche, suspecting that he had been affected by an illusion.
However, no matter how he dealt with it, the grayish-white fog didn't change. Of course, there were no accidents or dangerous eruptions. It was as though it was just a background.
This was rather puzzling.
Just as Hvin Rambis was about to stir up a psionic storm here, the grayish-white fog finally dissipated, revealing the island of consciousness belonging to German Sparrow.
Hvin Rambis didn't hesitate as he hurriedly invaded the corresponding subconscious domain and attempted to modify his target's thoughts.
However, those thoughts were all dyed with a clear light, filled with a sacred and solemn aura. They were unshakable and unaffected.
This … Hvin Rambis instinctively looked up and followed the stone staircase that had appeared, looking at the part of the island of consciousness that floated above the sea of collective subconscious.
Apart from the "island" itself, there was also a figure with twelve pairs of flaming wings on its back that emitted golden light.
It seemed to be the projection of an angel's power!
Since he was planning to deal with a demigod of the Spectator pathway today, Klein had no doubt used Angel's Embrace on himself in advance. He had used the Red Priest card's level to mobilize the powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog. This was also the reason why he wasn't affected by the incomplete Mythical Creature form.
And he hadn't directly used this because he was using Hvin Rambis as an experiment.
When Hvin Rambis attempted to invade the island of consciousness corresponding to his main body, his marionette, Qonas Kilgor, had used his powers to "Distort" the enemy's target — from Klein's Body of Heart and Mind to the gray fog projection that enveloped Klein.
This way, if Hvin Rambis could discover the island of consciousness in the grayish-white fog, it meant that there was a creature of unknown origins sleeping in the mysterious space above the gray fog. Klein had to be wary of it as soon as possible. If it wasn't for that, he could be a little more at ease.
This was something he had long wanted to experiment with, but he hadn't dared to do so due to the great danger involved. Today, he finally had a chance to complete it. After all, even if there was any backlash, the one who would die would be Hvin Rambis and not him. He might even be able to use this opportunity to easily finish off a demigod.
Seeing that the other party had an angel's blessing, making it impossible for him to infiltrate the other party's Body of Heart and Mind in a short period of time, Hvin Rambis retreated without any hesitation. He left the area and returned to his mind through the sea of collective subconscious.
Then, the gigantic dragon vanished into thin air, preventing Klein from using his Spirit Body Threads to find it.
Psychological Invisibility!
Hvin Rambis planned on using a psychological blind spot to hide in the shadows. As he continued using area-of-effect Beyonder powers like Mind Deprivation and Mind Storm to gradually weaken German Sparrow's angel-enhanced mental barrier, he used his Sealed Artifact to attempt an attack.
As a demigod of the Spectator pathway, although the dragon was very strong in melee combat, it still lacked the necessary Beyonder powers with powerful offensive capabilities. It needed to be made up for through certain Sealed Artifacts.
At this moment, an illusory book appeared in front of German Sparrow, who was unknown if it was his marionette or his main body. An ethereal voice sounded around him:
"I came, I saw, I recorded."
What Klein wanted to use was the Lightning Storm recorded by the Scribe in Creeping Hunger!
For something like Psychological Invisibility, a full area-of-effect attack was enough to resolve it!
It had to be said that against Beyonders with similar styles, the Storm pathway was a pretty good choice.
