I am the protagonist

"If it's really as you say, then Chrome is worth far more than Rokudo Mukuro."

"At least I don't think Rokudo Mukuro's genjutsu could have such an effect on me."

Then Byakuran noticed the look on Tsuna's face that said, "You're too naive."

This discovery made his lips twitch.

"Could there be some other surprises?"

In Bai Lan's view, "surprise" and "fright" are almost the same thing.

“That child’s illusion magic was taught to him by someone like me who doesn’t know anything about illusion magic. Do you really think Chrome can learn any proper illusion magic… or do you think that child, under my guidance, can create some normal illusion magic?”

"...So you do have some self-awareness after all."

Ignoring Byakuran's sarcastic remark, Tsuna unconsciously raised his head.

“I know almost nothing about illusions, so what I told Chrome were just my own ideas, and then Chrome turned all those ideas I had into reality.”

"Just like I once told Chrome that terrifying and horrible illusions can make people feel resistant, while the most beautiful illusions are often irresistible to anyone. Even if they know it is an illusion, they will still be willing to stay in eternal beauty."

"Then the child created the illusion according to my idea and even named it 'Complete World'."

“I remember telling Chrome that every strong-willed person has a vulnerable side, which is often the purest part of that person’s heart, and the part they least want others to know.”

"The most terrifying attack can be launched by targeting that one vulnerability in a person's heart."

"Just like flowers are beautiful, but flowers all have thorns."

"The most vulnerable part of a person's heart can often cause the heaviest blow."

"Then, the child turned my thoughts into an illusion and gave it a name: 'Paradise on Earth'."

Even the usually composed veteran driver Reborn showed some subtle changes on his face at this moment.

Even from the simple descriptions, it's clear that these two illusions are definitely not something to be trifled with.

One is a sweet dream.

One is a painful nightmare.

It is a blow that strikes a person from the very depths of their soul, causing the deepest and most painful pain.

This kind of illusion is definitely more effective at striking people's hearts than some more powerful illusions.

Even a stronger one can easily break a person's spirit.

"Of course, just two illusions are not enough, after all, in a sense, the attack power is still a bit lacking."

"...Tsuna, I don't think the two illusions you mentioned are weak. Those two illusions already target the vulnerable parts of the human heart, and they can make people feel dejected."

"I mean the kind of illusion that involves physical attacks."

"..."

I'm not sure if I should complain about the white magnolia.

"Illusions shouldn't have physical attacks in the first place."

Proper illusion magic should not have offensive capabilities; at most, it should only transform illusion magic into a means of attacking the mind.

Use illusions to create physical attacks.

In a sense, this is no longer an illusion.

"Illusions shouldn't have any means of physical attack, but I mentioned some of my own ideas at the time, and then it seems like they came to be."

Tsuna didn't believe that illusions could be offensive.

After all, compared to physical attacks, illusions are not physically attacking, but rather mental.

Illusion can have a very significant impact on one's mental state.

But it won't work against physical attacks.

However, that was before Tsunayoshi had put forward his own ideas.

"Actually, I was just saying it casually about the physical attacks of illusions, but Chrome didn't take it lightly."

"What I actually said at the time was that it would be great if the illusion could attack the mind and the body could feel it as well, so that it would not only be the mind that was attacked, but also the body."

"Normally, that's absolutely impossible..."

Byakuran doesn't believe that such illusions can actually be created.

Wolfsbane has been immersed in the field of illusion for decades, and even his illusions do not contain this kind of illusion that causes physical attacks.

"Well, my initial thought was that if illusion magic could hypnotize the mind and make people believe that their bodies were in a state of harm, then it could cause physical damage. However, this idea was still a bit naive."

"So I changed my mind. Hypnotists can only cause psychological harm through illusions, not physical harm. But if the injured part of the hypnotic illusion is made to believe that it is being harmed, then physical harm can be achieved."

"Then Chrome transformed his Death Flame into a deadly poison."

"When inflicting psychological harm on a person in the morning, the body of the injured person is simultaneously hypnotized, and the body also believes that it has suffered the same harm, thus creating a linkage where the mind and body are harmed at the same time."

"Just like what Chrome is doing now."

In the image, Wolfsbane's body appears to have been slashed, with a large amount of blood flowing from the wound.

Everyone saw that Chrome and Wolfsbane didn't move at all, yet physical damage was still inflicted.

This scene shocked all the members of the audience.

For Fran, who was an illusionist in the Varia assassination squad, the impact of this scene was even greater.

Chapter 119 The Reason That Child Became Stronger

(Wow! I really never thought that such a theoretical illusion could actually be realized.)

(Theory? Did such theories already exist in the past?)

(You really don't understand, senior. This kind of illusion theory has existed since the past. In fact, it has been mentioned in some books before, but it's not easy to implement.)

Fran certainly knew that there were many ways to use illusions, and that using illusions to attack was entirely feasible.

The problem is that this kind of illusion requires the most precise control over the death flames, as well as extremely strict conditions.

Me's mentor might have some of that skill, but achieving the same level of perfection as her is impossible.

Pulling a warlock into your illusion... just thinking about it is no easy task.

Even my mentor can't easily do that nowadays.

As a sorcerer, one naturally understands best what illusion magic is.

Since they know each other so well, how could they so easily let a sorcerer fall for their tricks?

(Theoretically speaking, such illusions have significant limitations in their use and require a considerable amount of preparation, making them even more complicated than some illusions that involve physical interference.)

Pure illusions are not so easy to cast.

Especially illusions that target the mind, because each person's conditions, and even some illusions, have racial limitations.

(If it involves the domain mentioned by the Tenth Boss, then it would definitely be an extremely energy-consuming illusion.)

(Even Me isn't easy to use, let alone getting a warlock to fall for it.)

(Perhaps Me will be dealt with by the opposing warlock before I even begin to act.)

(Ah~)

Bell's smile froze.

(Fran, is there a way to break this illusion?)

(Yes, even such a sophisticated illusion can be broken.)

(Facing sweet illusions with a heart of stone... However, when using such illusions, the person being hypnotized to a certain extent is usually made to fall into the sweet illusion more easily, so it is difficult to break free without the help of others.)

(Even if Me wanted to break free from it, I probably couldn't.)

Fran pointed to the sorcerer in the picture who had been controlled by illusion.

(A person already trapped in an illusion will have all five senses controlled by another sorcerer.)

(The sorcerers over there aren't even aware of the damage they're taking; that's what makes that illusion so terrifying.)

(They wouldn't even feel death.)

(They might even believe in their dreams that they are not dead yet.)

Bell had already grasped the terror of the illusion just from the language.

He died in his sleep, even before he realized it; he had no idea that illusions were such terrifying things.

(Does that mean if someone is nearby, it will recover?)

(How could you break free from that illusion so easily, senior?)

(After being under that kind of illusion, it means that the opponent's five senses have been completely controlled. The opposing sorcerer cannot even feel pain, so naturally, ordinary attacks are useless.)

(What's needed is for someone else to disrupt the deathly flames within the body with a powerful surge of deathly flames so that the person under the illusion can break free.)

That level of illusion is impossible to escape with ordinary methods; the only way to break free is by using the interference of the Death Flame.

(However, even so, it is a very dangerous thing, after all, it is forcibly breaking free from that kind of illusion. Any sorcerer would prevent this from happening, so they would usually prepare many traps on the person who is under the illusion.)

(If the death flame is disrupted, it will likely result in... a loud thud.)

(Woo-wah!)

Bell knew that the illusion wouldn't be so easily broken.

But hearing that such an illusion would result in a loud "thump" still made me break out in a cold sweat.

(Yes, from now on, don't bully her, no matter who you're bullying.)

(I feel like I'm going to die.)

(Bell, I think you really are going to die.)

(Even if you strip your senior of his five senses, you're doomed.)

(Also, it seems the mark on Bell's body hasn't been removed yet.)

(...)

At that moment, Bell felt an urge to curse.

This is no joke. If that kind of thing stayed inside his body, he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.

(Fran, you must have a way.)

(Well, while I can't deal with that kind of illusion, I can still dispel the fluctuations.)

After all, Fran is an excellent warlock, so he is capable of doing this.

(But why should I do something so complicated?)

(Damn it!)

If it weren't for the current situation, Bell would have wanted to be with Fran right now.

"Just hearing about it is terrifying."

Bai Lan felt goosebumps rising on her skin.

Even though I've encountered dangerous things before, nothing seems as serious as what's happening now.

"How exactly is this dangerous illusion created?"

"...Well, it should be a very simple matter for Chrome."

Is this really such a simple thing?

[Tsuna, I'm about to swear!]

Even if you know about this illusion in advance, there's no way to prevent it.

It was as if he himself had only just discovered that a faint fluctuation had been implanted in his body, and he only found it on his second search.

Based on this alone, Byakuran could say that Chrome is probably the strongest illusionist he has ever seen.

"Don't swear, that might really be a simple thing for Chrome."

"Didn't I say before? That child, for some special reason, clearly doesn't have a strong talent for illusion magic, but he has an extraordinary willpower."

"The reason that child was able to create illusions of that level is probably because of that."
