Chapter 1116: Chapter 1114: The Shadow Hero with a Wild Imagination

The situation was finally under control.

Gu Xi was planning to relax a bit and turn to handle the Deceitful Shadows that had already climbed the wall, but just as he let his guard down, the Shadow Hero made another move.

This time, Gu Xi had to admit, the Shadow Hero before him was truly a hero of unexpected genius and first-rate unpredictability.

Clearly, Gu Xi had already controlled the situation.

Yet, with a burst of creativity, the Shadow Hero utilized other traits of the Deceitful Shadows.

"Block the gate!"

The Shadow Hero shrieked.

Gu Xi didn’t hear what the other said, but that was the intention behind his words.

Simultaneously, Gu Xi saw another batch of over a thousand Deceitful Shadows rush out, their bodies automatically expanding outward, constantly growing larger, as if being inflated.

This group of over a thousand Deceitful Shadows had a relatively low level.

Because of the distance, Gu Xi couldn’t accurately judge the specific strength of the opposition.

However, from their size, Gu Xi could deduce that they were low-level cannon fodder Deceitful Shadows.

Now, with their inflation, their size increased countless times.

And they rammed aside the blocking Undead, forcibly squeezing into the opened Ghost Gate, using their bodies to completely block the entrance.

Gu Xi had obtained the skill Ghost Gate Opening for quite some time, and for the first time discovered that the opened Ghost Gate could be blocked by others.

As he was contemplating what the Shadow Hero was thinking, the Deceitful Shadows blocking the Ghost Gate exploded on the spot.

Over a thousand Deceitful Shadows blew up into powder, simultaneously exploding all the Ghost Gates Gu Xi had opened.

At this moment, a look saying "You can play like this?" appeared on Gu Xi’s face.

He recognized the methods and creativity of the Shadow Hero.

After destroying the Ghost Gate, the Shadow Hero didn’t relax his vigilance.

He was well-aware that if Gu Xi could open the Ghost Gate once, he could do it twice, three times.

And he only had so many Deceitful Shadows, couldn’t destroy all his subordinates just to close the Ghost Gate.

Thus, under the Shadow Hero’s manipulation, the Deceitful Shadows blown into powder were reused.

They formed a cloud-like defense shield in the sky.

Although Gu Xi didn’t understand what was happening, he believed the Shadow Hero wasn’t making a pointless effort.

Gu Xi wasn’t entirely sure what the other planned to do.

So he raised his hand, preparing to open another batch of Ghost Gates.

But as soon as Gu Xi made a move, he discovered the battlefield beneath the cloud-covered shadows had turned into a Forbidden Demon Land.

It seemed the Shadow Hero intended this.

To prevent Gu Xi from using magic to further complicate things.

Yet Gu Xi wasn’t just a mage who only knew one spell.

Upon realizing the situation wasn’t suitable, Gu Xi immediately changed his approach.

He extended his right hand, pointing in the direction of the Deceitful Shadows.

"Mind Kill!"

As Gu Xi’s power increased, he delved deeper into studying the Orange Armor.

Various small techniques for using the Orange Armor were gradually developed by Gu Xi.

Mind Kill could impact all creatures within a fifteen-mile radius.

The power of the effect couldn’t be altered; it would deduct 15 points of Life from everyone.

However, the range of influence could be freely controlled by Gu Xi.

Gu Xi no longer had to expand outward from the center, like before.

He could now specify a direction or a range to use Mind Kill.

This way, he could reduce collateral damage.

And the condensed range allowed Gu Xi to do something else.

That was to use Mind Kill in combination with other psychic operations.

This time, when Mind Kill was unleashed, all the Deceitful Shadows, from the Shadow Hero to the weakest ones, developed a desire to die.

Among them were those already gathered into a bundle, ready to be sent onto the City Wall by the Shadow Hero.

As soon as this thought arose, they stopped bundling up and went nearby trying to commit suicide.

The Shadow Hero could have stopped all this.

But he was also affected by the Mind Kill effect, hitting himself with a punch.

This punch nearly knocked him down; when he got up, those bundles of Deceitful Shadows near the wall reverted to their original state.

Trying to regroup them now not only took longer but also attracted attention.

At this moment, the Shadow Hero glanced at the situation on the City Wall, a trace of sinister determination appearing in his eyes.

"This was your doing, stop bundling up, climb the ladder!"

The Shadow Hero decisively commanded, and the remaining Deceitful Shadows rapidly gathered, stacking on each other, continuously climbing upward.

Since the Deceitful Shadows were shadow-like, they could quickly stack on top of each other by simply thinking about it, unlike humans who need to consider the foundation and such.

As they stacked higher and higher, Gu Xi noticed the change.

At this moment, Gu Xi understood the Shadow Hero’s approach.

They intended to stack high enough, then topple directly forward.

This way, they could bypass the unsolvable Mysterious Maze and land directly on the North City Wall.

Only a mind like the Shadow Hero could come up with such an idea.

And only a creature like the Deceitful Shadow could execute it.

As the Deceitful Shadows stacked higher, Gu Xi realized that the opponent’s plan was nearing completion.

At this point, Gu Xi raised his right hand again, aiming at the stacking Deceitful Shadows, ready to act.

But just then, Gu Xi suddenly felt that as he raised his hand, the speed at which the Deceitful Shadows stacked became slower.

They seemed to be waiting for Gu Xi to act.

"Spirit Lamp!"

Gu Xi commanded decisively.

The Spirit Lamp Carrier appeared beside Gu Xi instantly.

Through the Spirit Lamp Carrier’s perspective, Gu Xi noticed a line of sight from the Deceitful Shadows had focused on his Fox Eye Ring.

Although Gu Xi believed there was no expert with the enemy capable of targeting the Fox Eye Ring’s abilities.

But as soon as they focused on the Fox Eye Ring, it was evident there was an issue.

And they prepared to stack higher.

Clearly, they were confident Gu wouldn’t be affected by Psychic Power anymore, wouldn’t fall into the Mysterious Maze again.

These realizations flickered in Gu Xi’s mind.

A thought emerged in his heart.

So Gu Xi raised his right hand again, making the gesture to use Mind Kill.

Sure enough, with his gesture, all the stacked Deceitful Shadows rapidly elongated and then lunged forward, toppling over toward the North City Wall.

It seemed that as soon as Gu Xi unleashed Mind Kill, he could scatter them, dropping them into the Mysterious Maze below.

But Gu Xi didn’t act, instead pointing forward.

"Flame Storm!"
