Snake Tongue never expected that the situation would reverse like this.
Luo Nan played a beautiful domino game. Several dozen road signs fell down from the material plane. They affected each other and formed a joint force. They inconceivably and logically affected the mental plane, warping and deforming the defensive structure of the Nightmare Vine Spell.
The mental attack she was most vigilant against had yet to make its official appearance, but the fortifications she had built with so much effort nearly fell apart.
Right now, Snake Tongue was at the center of the fortifications. Her mind was shaken, and she felt impatient. This was mostly caused by the backlash of the Nightmare Vine Spell. At first, she believed that Luo Nan was going to shatter the foundation of her spell and dig open the fortifications. But after blocking two rounds of backlash, she felt that something was wrong.
Under the attack of Luo Nan's infrasonic waves, the thick vines born from the Nightmare Vine Spell did not wither and become listless. Instead, it was as if they had taken stimulants. They were restless without end.
Snake Tongue was aware of her own situation. Her method of erecting fortifications was a bit of a trick. The collapse of the fortifications was fine, but the resulting backlash was truly troublesome.
Luo Nan's methods and train of thought caused her heart to be on guard.
"I can't stay here any longer!" An intense thought of retreating arose in Snake Tongue's mind for the first time.
But just as this thought was born, a powerful restraining force suddenly rose. The Nightmare Vine Spell's blood-devouring intent finally found a nearby target.
Snake Tongue cried out to herself that this was bad. She immediately chanted an incantation, disregarding the consequences. She wanted to disperse the out-of-control Nightmare Vine Spell. But at this time, the uncomfortable feeling of being seen through became clear once more. Her clairvoyance instinctively allowed her to see Luo Nan's interweaving blood and fire. His eyes were piercingly cold.
The mental attack came. It was different from the heavy hammer-like bombardment described in the intelligence report. It was a sharp blade that silently pierced through the chaotic defensive system. The attack pierced through all the defenses and pierced straight at Snake Tongue's weakest soul body.
This attack didn't heavily injure Snake Tongue, but it interrupted the spell she had just prepared. It also severed the last bit of possibility for her to control the Nightmare Vine Spell.
But from Snake Tongue's perspective, the most fatal part was the Nightmare Vine Spell's defensive system. It transformed into an invisible cage on the mental plane, trapping her within. She wouldn't be able to struggle free in a short amount of time.
Snake Tongue used all her strength and tried all sorts of methods. This included her most dreaded method of interfering and transforming between the mental and material planes. However, none of them worked. Instead, her soul body interfered too much with the material plane after a series of attempts. She gradually revealed herself.
"Nanster, you've gone too far … Eh?"
Just as Xue Lei rubbed his chest and walked out from the devil ray's wide back, he saw a shadow appear in the open space in front of him. It was vaguely like a woman, glowing with a faint green light in the night. Upon closer inspection, that light was clearly a curtain of hair that fell to the ground. Half of it draped over the back, while the other half covered the exceptionally delicate figure of a person.
Such a form was like that of a ghost or a spirit. It was so faint that its face could not be seen clearly, as if it would dissipate in the wind at any time.
However, upon closer inspection, there were several tens of long strands of smoke surrounding this delicate woman. They were intertwined and intertwined with each other. When they fluttered, they were like streamers of feathers, but when they were ferocious, they were like a prison cage.
"T-This is … Snake Tongue?"
Xue Lei had guessed it, but he was still a little confused. He didn't know why this mysterious expert who had been fighting against them for a long time would suddenly appear, and in such a form at that.
This wasn't the same as the ugly and sinister Black Beetle's mutilated body from before, okay?
Snake Tongue didn't care about how she looked. Right now, there was no one else in her eyes. There was only Luo Nan. Her soul had left her body, and she had been forced to reveal herself. From her perspective, the situation had already completely collapsed. And all of this was caused by the teenager on top of the devil ray's head.
Compared to the result, Snake Tongue was even more unable to accept the process.
She didn't know at least half of the methods Luo Nan used from the moment he truly unleashed his strength. In other words, she was muddle-headed and ended up in such a state.
The most absurd thing was that her and Luo Nan's soul strength were still entangled. But what was the point of this entanglement? The feeling Luo Nan gave her was that he was clearly using a single pinky finger to hook her in place. The rest of his body was casually toyed with. And this was the effect that Snake Tongue believed she could achieve …
It wasn't that she had never experienced this sort of experience before, but she never thought that it would reappear on the teenager's body …. This was not a reflection of strength, but a difference in insight and realm.
Snake Tongue composed herself slightly. It could be said that she had suffered a crushing defeat in today's match. However, it was too early to say that she was consigned to eternal damnation.
She was someone who had experienced the affairs of the world for a long time. She soon adjusted her state of mind. She no longer thought of struggling, nor did she conceal her figure. Instead, she bowed to Luo Nan, who was perched high on the devil ray's head, with impeccable etiquette. She used the calmest tone she could to admit,
"Lord Luo, your skills are marvelous. I've lost."
Luo Nan didn't give her anything aside from his ice-cold gaze.
Snake Tongue stood up straight after she bowed. She raised her head slightly and locked eyes with Luo Nan's ice-cold gaze. She adopted a posture that was meaningless to her soul body, but it was more in line with etiquette and the situation. "Since I admit defeat, I won't cause any more trouble for Lord Luo. However, I hope that I can obtain a suitable treatment …."
Luo Nan maintained his silence, but the Nightmare Vine Spell grew even more restless on the mental plane. It was the most direct response. Even on the material plane visible to the naked eye, the dark smoke surrounding Snake Tongue's soul body increased by thirty percent. The intertwining and intertwining grew more and more obvious.
Snake Tongue's mind went a bit cold, but she still tried to use communication to resolve the problem. She tossed out a bargaining chip. "Lord Luo, I can order Tank to stop right now!"
"I'm going to kill him."
Luo Nan's simple words nearly caused Snake Tongue to swallow back her words. She was stifled for a second before she responded, "Lord Luo, please don't be impulsive. I want to save your mother's precious work as soon as possible. That's the most …."
The whistling sound of the wind crushed Snake Tongue's words to pieces. The devil ray began to flap its pectoral fins with force. Compressed air rumbled and flowed. Its momentum was astonishing. Just like this, it soared several meters higher. It seemed as if it would leap into the sky at any moment.
Luo Nan stared at Snake Tongue from an even higher position. "You've been resisting all this time. I've already wasted two minutes here."
Snake Tongue obviously had to resist. Even if her defeat was already decided, she wouldn't allow herself to be trampled upon. Clearly, there was an enormous disparity in their understanding of each other. She couldn't help but feel her heart sink.
But at this time, she saw Luo Nan close his eyes. His eyelids were still trembling. This action allowed Snake Tongue to confirm one thing: Luo Nan was certainly extremely exhausted. That made sense. How could his body endure the continuous use of such terrifying methods?
Perhaps she should continue to waste time?
Just as this thought stirred, Luo Nan's eyes opened. Lightning leaped within his bloody sockets. "... And you're going to continue wasting time!"
The Nightmare Vine Spell, which was used to devouring its master, fiercely contracted just as Luo Nan finished speaking. At the same time, the second wave of mental attacks arrived.
Snake Tongue suffered a pincer attack. Her shadow fluctuated and warped, showing signs of disillusionment. She did her best to resist, but at the same time, she also used her glib tongue to persuade Luo Nan.
"Lord Luo, it's true that I will suffer heavy injuries if you insist on going your own way. But it's just as you said. You won't have a future to speak of under the direct wear and tear of the Big and Small Gears! Formatting Theory. Coupling. Where will you go to verify these wonderful theories? "
Luo Nan heard all of this clearly. He subconsciously released a hand from the devil ray's fins and gently touched his cheek. It was a bit numb. He exerted a bit of force, and there was a terrible tearing sensation.
But so what?
"If my mother compromised for the sake of her life, then I wouldn't exist in this world. If I compromised for the sake of my mother's work, you shameless bastards, then even if I saved Gear, I would still be bound to leave a stain …. And you guys could come at any time!"
Luo Nan's voice was low and hoarse. He was practically talking to himself. This was his train of thought and thought. Actually, he didn't know if it was right or wrong. But right now, his emotions, intellect, energy, and all the other components resonated. This was what he obtained. There was no need to fake it.
Snake Tongue didn't even have the time to get angry after being labeled a shameless bastard. She saw the devil ray charge up fiercely. It let out a soundless roar, and countless vine strings were released one after another.
There were no substantial sound waves, but the corresponding rupture and tremble on the mental plane was like a sword cutting through a hundred bowstrings and a dragon-binding net. The rhythm of collapse, collapse, collapse, and collapse exploded in the depths of her mind. Her ghostly body was actually involuntarily lifted into the air.
Gales surged, and the world spun. The Nightmare Vine Spell transformed into a knot, wrapping around her as she drifted in the night wind. She was like a bird or beast that had been tied up after a hunt.
Snake Tongue's mind was deep from the continuous humiliation, but her heart was also burning with poisonous flames. She shouted out Luo Nan's name for the first time, "Luo Nan, don't you regret this!"
What responded to her was the sonic boom of the devil ray's wings striking the wind.
In an instant, the devil ray had already flown out from the viewing platform. It entered a thousand meters high in the sky without anything to rely on. Luo Nan occupied a position high above the devil ray's head and looked down.
The heart lantern illuminated the entire region. It was hard for the darkness, the forest, and the buildings to block it. There was nothing else in Luo Nan's eyes. He only saw a small and exquisite Gear embedded in the depths of the boundless forest. It was clearly shining.
This was the first time Luo Nan used the coupled heart lantern to perform clairvoyance for an extended period of time. The marvelous feeling was like a gushing spring that had just erupted from the ground.
Was it his heart lantern that illuminated Gear, or was it Gear's spiritual light that entered his heart?
It was certainly the latter. It was the purest light within the darkness, and it was a pupil that circulated with the ripples of life. It billowed, flickered, and revolved there. It drew upon the long river of time, revealing the ancient imprints to the present. It transformed into a silent intent that silently gazed at him.
Mom?
This completely unreasonable thought plucked at his heartstrings. Luo Nan was a bit dazed, but he soon strove to open his eyes wide. He wanted to engrave this pupil into the bottom of his heart.
However, this scene of waves of light reflecting each other only lasted for an instant. Turbid colors flipped over from within the pure luster. Thick smoke and flames smeared wantonly, willfully trampling on everything.
It was as if Luo Nan's chest had been fiercely pounded by a fist. The flames burned straight into his eye sockets, bringing along poisonous smoke. They poured into his heart and lungs, instantly transforming into a field of fire.
"There's a fire …." The flames roiled within his internal organs. The most laughable bit of wishful thinking in his heart transformed into the poisonous smoke.
Luo Nan subconsciously tightened his grip on the thick skull fin in his hand. Pain and fury that burned his heart and lungs rumbled to the top, breaking his throat and causing him to howl.
