Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 278 Imprisonment

The double superposition of sound and mental power, coupled with the powerful gain effect obtained by being in the sea, made Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai feel quite tricky when facing this mermaid.

Initially, they had intended to capture the mermaid alive. However, since the mermaid had cast an illusion, it was obviously impossible to capture her directly in a short period of time.

The illusion created by the mermaid spread everywhere. Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai quickly adjusted their state. Lin Lan keenly realized that the mermaid in front of him was not a real entity, but a false image created by illusion.

A real mermaid is most likely hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Lin Lan stepped steadily into the air, his posture agile and calm, and the six wind wings behind Lei Hanhai flapped rapidly on the water, making a whirring sound. The two of them were concentrating, carefully sensing all the movements around them.

"Be careful, this guy is only a mid-level commander, but her illusions are extraordinary!" Lin Lan lowered her voice and warned with a hint of nervousness. At the same time, her eyes flashed with silver light, and her powerful mental power was released without reservation, trying to capture the true position of the mermaid.

This sea area is too vast. It would take a lot of time to conduct a comprehensive exploration of each area...

Lei Hanhai nodded slightly, his eyes revealing determination and concentration. The lightning spear in his hand instantly transformed into a lightning sword, and then he once again condensed a powerful thunder force. Lightning flashed around him, and the black long sword was held firmly in front of him. The six wind wings continued to flap vigorously, bringing up strong airflows.

The sea surface also continued to surge with their movements, as if foreshadowing that a more intense battle was about to begin.

At this moment, a raging wave suddenly rose on the sea, and several sea monsters of various shapes suddenly jumped out of the water. There were huge crabs waving their huge claws, and there were also big shrimps with their teeth and claws bared, their eyes flashing with ferocious light, rushing straight towards Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai.

Suddenly, fish, crabs, shrimps and other sea monsters gathered together. These sea monsters were obviously the mermaid's guards. They came fiercely and obviously had bad intentions.

"Deal with these bastards first!" Lin Lan shouted angrily, her voice full of majesty and determination. She waved her hands vigorously, and the powerful force of space burst out instantly, like an invisible sharp blade, tearing several sea monsters into countless pieces, and a blood mist suddenly filled the sea water.

Lei Hanhai was equally unwilling to be outdone, swinging the Thunder Sword in his hand like the wind, and each swing was extremely accurate, killing a sea monster with one strike. Then, the star map suddenly appeared above his head, and the thunderbolts turned into dazzling lightning, like a punishment from heaven, blasting the sea monsters that rushed towards him into powder one by one.

Although these sirens were only at the general level and their strength was increased several times with the blessing of sea water, Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai's magic was weakened to a certain extent, but these sirens were still like ants in front of them and they could not compete with them at all.

Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai could easily kill a large group of sea monsters with just one spell. However, this mermaid was extremely difficult to deal with.

In fact, if we talk about the real strength of mermaids in the sea, it is almost equivalent to the level of great commanders on land. Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai had to admit at this moment that they suffered from the lack of water magic. In this sea area, they were somewhat restricted when facing mermaids.

The mermaid's creepy singing still echoed in their ears, as if it was everywhere, like an invisible needle, constantly irritating their nerves. Although Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai successfully resisted the attack of the sirens for the time being, the mermaid's illusion was like a thorn in their flesh, still subtly affecting their minds.

"We can't drag this on any longer, we must find her true form as soon as possible! Lei Hanhai, you hold on for a while!" Lin Lan said in a deep voice, a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes, revealing her firm determination.

This mermaid was indeed very strange, and there were many soldiers around her. However, Lin Lan firmly believed that in front of his powerful sixth-level mental power, the mermaid would definitely be exposed.

Lin Lan took a deep breath and calmed down. Then, the powerful sixth realm mental power was like an invisible and majestic storm, sweeping and spreading wildly around him. This powerful mental power, like countless sharp tentacles, meticulously explored every inch of this sea area, not letting go of any suspicious clues.

The illusion performed by the mermaid was indeed strange and unpredictable, like an invisible net, with illusions spreading everywhere, trying to confuse and interfere with Lin Lan's perception.

However, since Lin Lan had already explored some areas, she focused all her energy on the last area and used her full strength to activate the sixth level of mental power. Those illusions were like illusory bubbles, and in front of this powerful mental power, they gradually began to reveal flaws.

Lin Lan's eyes flashed with a sharp light like an eagle, and she locked onto every slight fluctuation. Finally, under the seemingly calm sea, she keenly caught a hint of abnormality. "There!" Lin Lan's voice was filled with a hint of uncontrollable excitement. She quickly raised her arm and pointed in the direction where the mermaid was hiding. At the same time, her figure was like a silver stream of light, flying towards the target at a very fast speed, leaving only a fleeting water mark on the sea.

Lin Lan accurately placed a spatial mark on the mermaid's body, and thought to himself: Now, let's see how you can run away!
Lei Hanhai began to use magic.

2401 black stars, like bright stars, surrounded Lei Hanhai, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. Lightning halberds suddenly appeared in the sky, as if born from nothingness.

The air was instantly electrolyzed and separated by these suddenly appearing lightning spears. The sky, which was already somewhat dark, became even more gloomy and depressing at this moment, as if foreshadowing a terrible disaster was about to befall. The black lightning spears flashed a heart-pounding light under the moonlight, which was even more shocking.

After the first lightning halberd appeared, it was followed by the second, the third... until the ninth. Nine black lightning halberds stood neatly in the dark air, emitting a powerful pressure, as if even the space was trembling slightly under this pressure.

Both humans and demons were shocked by this scene and stared at this horrifying sight.

The punishment of the Thunder Ring—the prohibition of the Nine Rings!
The mermaid had been hiding behind a huge reef, and when Lin Lan marked it, it was completely unaware. At this moment, it was preparing to use its captivating singing and magic again in an attempt to reverse the situation. However, when it sensed the terrifying pressure coming from the sky, a trace of extreme fear suddenly flashed in its eyes.

It twisted its body wildly, and its tail was like a giant whip, slapping the sea water vigorously, stirring up huge waves and splashing water. It wanted to escape, wanted to avoid the Nine Rings that were about to fall, but it was too late.

Nine lightning halberds whizzed down one after another, like a punishment from heaven, heading straight for the mermaid's location. Each lightning halberd carried a force that could destroy the heavens and the earth. The power of thunder intertwined in the air into a huge and tight electric grid, completely blocking all the mermaid's escape routes.

The mermaid's eyes were filled with despair, and she struggled desperately, trying to break free from the fatal bondage. However, the power of the Nine Rings was far beyond her imagination, and the pressure of the lightning halberd made it unable to move at all, and even her proud illusion gradually disintegrated in the roar of thunder.

"It's over!" Lei Hanhai shouted coldly, his voice full of majesty and confidence. He suddenly put his hands together, and nine lightning halberds burst out with dazzling lightning at the same time, instantly engulfing the sea area where the mermaid was.

Rumble——!
The roar of thunder was deafening, and huge waves were set off on the sea. The power of thunder and lightning raged in the sea water, as if it was going to evaporate the entire sea area. The mermaid's screams stopped abruptly in the thunder, and the whole fish was stunned by the powerful electric current.

If Lei Hanhai had not controlled his strength in time, the mermaid would have been reduced to ashes under this horrific attack.

It still has some use left, so we can't kill it.

At this time, Ding Yumian and Lin Wanqing in the distance also successfully dealt with the remaining sea monsters, and they quickly rushed towards Lin Lan and Lei Hanhai.

Ding Yumian asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. The mermaid has been imprisoned by us. The crisis of the fishing village has been temporarily resolved." Lin Lan shook his head slightly and said softly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the imprisoned mermaid. They all knew that if they wanted to know more, this mermaid would play a vital role. Perhaps they could use mind magic to communicate with her...

"Where is Lei Hao?" Lei Hanhai frowned and asked.

"Well, wasn't that burly man bewitched by the mermaid's magic? Lei Hao is slapping him in the face, saying that he wants him to wake up." Lin Wanqing said helplessly. (End of this chapter)
