Chapter 212 Combat
“Damn it…” Lucian realized the seriousness of the matter when he saw the soul hunter.

Even at this moment, his body had an instinctive fear, a fear of the natural enemy that came from the subconscious of the race, which made Lucian's breathing become slightly cramped, which indirectly affected Lula, who he played. Her breathing became somewhat compensated, and she slightly twisted her body in her sleep.

This small movement was also keenly captured by the soul hunter. It approached step by step, then stretched out its long, claw-like fingers and gently stroked Lula's face with its cold nails.

The cold touch made Lucian's soul feel sluggish, because this hook was the soul hunter's most important weapon. They could easily penetrate the skull of an intelligent life and directly grab the soul inside.

However, with the help of Lula's [Perception] talent, Lucian was able to detect that although this soul hunter had deep malice towards him, it did not have the blood-red color that represented the desire to kill. So Lucian also tried his best to stabilize his emotions and allowed the other party to test him in this way.

"What... does it want to do?" Lucian felt a little uneasy. After all, he was in a very unfavorable position under such close-range conditions. Once a battle broke out, he would inevitably be restrained because he had to consider Lula's safety.

What's more, with the current distance between the Soul Hunter's hook and himself, if the opponent suddenly attacks, he would be in danger.

“Hold on… hold on…” Lucian hypnotized himself silently in his heart, while also controlling his emotions, trying not to let his emotions further affect [Lula]’s condition.

The cold touch of the hook continued to stimulate Lucian's nerves. In a trance, he even felt the wails and screams of other humans who died from this hook, which were so painful that they could penetrate their souls.

"It... is it testing me? No, it seems to be preparing some weird 'dining ceremony'. It wants to obtain an absolutely loyal servant in the dream world by detaining me!"

Lucian broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care about being exposed at this moment. The moment the Soul Hunter retracted his fingers, he controlled Lula to jump up, rolled off the bed, and at the same time burst out a mental force field belonging to the formal wizard level.

The Soul Hunter put away his fingers and looked at Lucian with interest. His octopus-like head moved slowly, but he spoke in a very standard wizard language in a brisk tone. "Oh, so you're a wizard... What a nostalgic feeling. What a pity. I thought you would bring your companion with you."

Lucian's pupils dilated slightly.

No wonder I didn’t sense its breath at the beginning, and no wonder it was able to discover my secret. I’m afraid that when I first communicated with "Thunder", it captured the fluctuations of my mental power?
And instead of getting rid of himself immediately, he wanted to catch "Thunder" as well?
“I didn’t expect to meet an extinct Soul Hunter here.” Lucian said casually. Although it looked a bit strange to speak the obscure wizard language in Lula’s childish voice, he didn’t dare to leave Lula’s body at this time.

“Extinction? Haha.” The Soul Hunter’s octopus-like head shrank slightly, and black and blue spots appeared on its skin. At the same time, human faces quickly appeared on its neck one after another. They were twisted and wailing. The sharp and terrifying sound made Lucian shudder.

But when they became aware of Lucian's presence, they stopped wailing and struggling. They smiled at Lucian, as if they were eager to be saved by him, or as if they were performing a welcoming ceremony in advance to welcome new victims.

"According to the records in the book, the soul bodies of soul hunters are extremely powerful. They are good at spiritual attacks. Their two special claws can directly pierce into the heads of intelligent species, read or even distort their memories and souls, and can also act as a 'straw' to quickly absorb the souls of their prey... Their weakness is their relatively fragile bodies..."

Information about the Soul Hunter quickly emerged in Lucian's mind, but at this time the Soul Hunter had already taken the initiative. Two tentacles with huge suction cups were swung towards him, and on the top of the tentacles, there were two hideous human faces with mouths constantly opening and closing.

wow——

As the face on the tentacle chanted silently, a terrifying mental shock sounded directly inside Lucian's mental core. The voice carried a desire for chaos and destruction, making Lucian's mental core feel like it was about to collapse.

This is the most common and effective trick used by soul hunters against wizards, intelligent creatures that rely on mental power to attack: mental frenzy!

Under this level of interference, the mental power of wizards of the same level can hardly successfully construct a powerful witchcraft model, and can only try to perform some simple witchcraft at the apprentice level.

During this period, the Soul Hunter's tentacles can easily entangle and capture the "prey", and begin to ingest and taste the opponent's soul alive!

In most cases, a first-level soul hunter can use this trick to directly eliminate a formal wizard in one encounter, and then enter the theme of "eating".

But for Lucian, he still has other ways to fight back.

slam-la-

Lucian's wizard's notebook appeared in his right hand. He flipped through it quickly, and soon a piece of animal skin paper with dense witchcraft runes flew out of it. The moment it flew out, it instantly shattered and turned into moonlight that attached to Lucian's body, covering his body with a layer of moonlight. This was the first-level witchcraft that Lucian kept the most in his wizard's notebook, and its function was also very practical, that is, the golden body to save his life!

Under the cover of moonlight, Lucian's body was now half-illusory, and the crazy roar heard from his spiritual core became much weaker, as if he was wearing a pair of noise-isolating earplugs. Although some residual sounds could still be heard, they no longer caused too much interference to Lucian and could support Lucian to start fighting normally.

retreat.

Lucian subconsciously stepped back, dodging the two tentacles that were about to wrap around him. Because the protection time of the Golden Body was extremely limited, and each time it was used, he had to wait for a certain interval before he could continue to use it, so Lucian had to hurry up to expand his advantage. At least he needed to stop the Soul Hunter from releasing that kind of noise to disturb him before the Golden Body time ended.

The next moment, an ice scepter emitting an icy aura appeared in Lucian's left hand.

This was the magical item that he had obtained from the trade with Crow at the party, which was comparable to a second-level magic tool. However, Lucian did not want to use it to create a large-scale freeze at this time, but wanted to use its negative effects to help himself stay calm enough for a short period of time!
The moment he grasped the ice staff, Lucian let the icy breath affect himself without any hesitation. The bone-chilling feeling soon spread throughout his body, and his emotions completely calmed down in an instant, falling into a calm state.

Cold, rational, like a human-shaped piece of ice.

The roar that nearly got Lucian beaten up returned, but for Lucian, it only made him feel a little annoyed, but it was quickly offset by the cold touch of the Ice Scepter.

“Hmm?” The Soul Hunter did not seem to have expected that his trick, which seemed to work every time, would fail in front of Lucian. Its octopus-like head moved slightly, but the next moment, its body began to move rapidly.

At the same time, more tentacles grew out from its trunk. Each tentacle had a distorted, roaring human face. There were also two souls that did not look like humans that were roaring. However, the screams from the two alien souls did not have much effect on Lucian.

Lucian clenched the ice scepter in his hand. Inside his spiritual core, the cold feeling and the crazy roar reached a dynamic balance, which kept his heart in a relatively normal state.

He looked at the soul hunter who was obviously about to take further action, and without any hesitation, he opened the wizard's notes again. Three pieces of animal skin paper flew out and turned into three identical frost moon blades in mid-air.

With the blessing of the Ice Scepter, the icy power of the three witchcrafts was enhanced to a certain extent. The frost originally attached to the moon blade became tougher and sharper, and even when it rotated, there was no slight sound of cutting the air.

First-level witchcraft, Frost Blade Dance·Modified!

This is Lucian's most commonly used first-level sorcery. In such a small space, many Frost Moon Blades cooperate with each other to form a siege, which is enough to tear the enemy into pieces in crazy cutting. Facing an opponent like the Soul Hunter who is good at mental attacks but has a relatively weak body, it is simply perfect!
But at this moment, Lucian found that there was a strange light flashing in the Soul Hunter's eyes. There seemed to be a little bit of pity in his eyes when he looked at Lucian, or it could be said that there was sympathy and teasing at the end of a cat-and-mouse game.

“Don’t forget, this is not the first night I’ve come to see you.” The Soul Hunter looked at Lucian, a hint of greed in his eyes.

Lucian was stunned, but soon he felt the resistance from Lula.

It was as if Lura had suddenly come alive and began to reject the "player" who possessed his body, and tried to invade Lucian's body in turn.

boom--

Under this strong interference, the Frostmoon Blades that Lucian had just begun to control became chaotic because they lost his unified control. Many Frostmoon Blades began to collide with each other, and some of them directly disintegrated due to the collapse of their internal structures.

"I was here last night, but you seemed to be out at that time." The Soul Hunter squatted down slowly, his movements not ferocious but rather graceful. "The rules say that it is forbidden to attack non-player possessed identities, but there is no rule that it is forbidden to attack player possessed identities, right?"

Lucian felt "Lula" constantly fighting with him for control of his body. He lowered his head, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. On the other side, the wizard's notes were flipping through the pages quickly. The rustling sound of the pages startled the Soul Hunter, causing it to quickly extend a tentacle, ready to prey on Lucian directly.

But at this moment, the wizard's notebook finally turned to the page that Lucian wanted. Inside the scarlet page, there was a faintly visible little snake swimming wildly in the page.
