Chapter 371: Good Idea, Unfortunately I Have Demon Eyes

~7 min read 1,302 words

"It shouldn't reach that level, right."

"Why?"

Jiang Lan, who didn't understand battle very well, asked David in confusion from the side.

"Because everyone is too familiar with each other, so using the usual battle methods from pushing instances definitely won't work."

Nemo explained from the side.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these two guys will probably just skip this stage and bring out the big guns directly. After all, they are both guys who hate trouble."

Ruan Qingyi stared at her tablet with a sly smile, looking as if victory was in her grasp.

Sure enough.

Just as Ruan Qingyi's voice fell, the two people on the screen each made their moves.

While Lan Qingyou placed two fingers together and directly drew a Magic Array with a diameter of about fifty centimeters in the air with her fingers.

"Tower, the time to compete in hand speed has arrived."

Vivian, who was drawing something in her palm, looked up at Lan Qingyou and shouted loudly.

"It should rather be said it's time to check if you've learned the basics of Glyphology well!"

Lan Qingyou's hand movements didn't stop, grinning at the other party.

Obviously, the two were now getting competitive.

Although Vivian didn't know what Magic Array Lan Qingyou was drawing, and Lan Qingyou didn't know what Vivian was tinkering with in her palm.

But none of this was important.

Because both of them knew clearly that whoever attacked first next would determine the victory or defeat of this 'civil war'.

But the result was obvious.

Compared to Vivian drawing something in such a small place as her palm, Lan Qingyou, this guy who frequently drew Magic Arrays, clearly had the upper hand in hand speed.

"Ha! Looks like I win!"

As the final stroke was completed, Lan Qingyou laughed loudly and waved her arm. Instantly, the Magic Array lit up with a burst of purple light.

"Ji!!!"

A white object flew out from the Magic Array, carrying a chirping sound and rushing towards Vivian at the very first moment like a shooting star.

And what nobody noticed was that at this time, the corners of Vivian's mouth, who was about to be attacked, produced a slight curve.

This was a confident smile.

Won!

Vivian's heart now only had this one word left.

What competing in hand speed, what tinkering in the palm of her hand, it was all deceptive, for the sake of tricking out Lan Qingyou's trump card.

Now, the other party's trump card had been brought out. It was just a Steel Wool summoned by a Summoning Array.

This wasn't considered any threat at all to Vivian.

In terms of tactical deception, she believed nobody could compare to her Illusion Mist Vampires.

However, in the next second.

Vivian's expression, whose face originally revealed a victorious smile, suddenly changed.

"You... you... you... you... you... you..."

At this time, Vivian couldn't even speak clearly, yet what greeted her was Lan Qingyou's unbridled loud laughter.

"Haha, I say, you didn't forget what my Demon Eye is, right? Using this kind of illusion meant to trick children to trick me seems to be looking down on me a bit, Ha-Jian."

Dialing the time slightly forward, not too long, just one second ago.

After Steel Wool was summoned and knew through mental connection that the attack target was Vivian, it rushed towards the other party.

However, next, Lan Qingyou directly threw out a string of chain lightning.

It's just that it wasn't shot towards the direction where Vivian was, but after a few crackling zigzag movements, it directly smashed into the smoke.

Following that, Vivian in the air became what she looked like now.

And Steel Wool also pierced through the other party's body at the moment she was shivering while trying to speak.

However, this piercing was merely just piercing; it didn't cause any substantial damage to the other party.

Because...

That was nothing more than an illusion.

An illusion inside an Illusion Magic created through the smoke.

"Relying on the illusion clone to make me mistakenly judge that you're about to use an ultimate move, thereby making me also bring out an ultimate move to deal with you, and then you can easily give me a fatal blow from the smoke where you're hiding."

"Good idea, unfortunately I have Demon Eyes."

Lan Qingyou looked at the smoke that hadn't dispersed for a long time and shrugged.

"Tch! Isn't your Demon Eye for appraisal!"

The phantom of Vivian that was pierced through asked somewhat indignantly.

"That's right, so your Illusion Magic was appraised out."

Lan Qingyou spoke nonsense with a pure face, making Vivian, who was already somewhat angry because of losing this competition, even more infuriated.

Yes.

In her view, under the circumstances where her tactical deception was seen through and she was paralyzed by the other party's magic lightning, this competition was already lost.

After all, the outcome of being controlled on the battlefield would generally be very miserable.

Besides, it wasn't like the two had any deep hatred; there was fundamentally no need to kill each other in such a competition.

"Alright, I admit I slightly underestimated the enemy this round, but there definitely won't be a next time."

Vivian, who raised her hand to click surrender, shouted indignantly.

"What next time, I never said I still wanted to fight you."

Lan Qingyou curled her lips.

This time it was bad luck that they were assigned together, otherwise she didn't even want to fight a match with Vivian, this guy.

No!

It should be said she didn't want to fight the majority of the people in the Manor.

Not to mention it being too troublesome, moreover, every single one of them fighting was unusually capable of disgusting people.

【Congratulations on winning the first match. You will now be teleported back to the spectator stand to wait for the next assignment.】

A dialogue box popped up in front of Lan Qingyou.

In the next second, she appeared in the spectator seats of Tarot Manor, only this time Vivian, this guy, was missing.

"Hahaha, to think Vivian, that guy, was cleared out in the first battle. How truly amusing. No, I must send her my condolences."

The one speaking was Vivian's plastic sister, Gu Xiaobei.

She was seen taking out a card while the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, looking completely like she was gloating over someone's misfortune.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will probably be hunted down by High Priestess later."

The returned Lan Qingyou cast a pitiful glance at Gu Xiaobei, who was still currently amused.

This pair of plastic sisters was quite united when things happened, but when nothing was happening, they liked to stir up trouble for themselves.

Having completed an arena match, Lan Qingyou shook her head, and then cast her gaze towards the Masquerade side.

To be more accurate, it was placed on Elisa's side.

This guy had been staring at her ever since she returned, as if wanting to see right through her.

While the companions beside her were constantly pointing at the tablets, seemingly analyzing something.

The people of the Masquerade were very interesting and also had a lot of character.

But they were different from the masked balls in her impression.

These guys were more like the folks you would often see in a cosplay photo area, each dressed in flashy and colorful clothes, with the majority having various weapons pinned to their bodies.

In Lan Qingyou's view, people dressed like this were mostly combat personnel.

In other words, the combat personnel inside the Masquerade far outnumbered the research personnel.

This was indeed a painful and troublesome matter for Lan Qingyou, who was very likely to encounter them later.

"Mm, another Witch has gone up, and she's also riding a broom."
