Chapter 190 Disguise your identity!
Initially, under Gabriel's careful command, the Illuminati successfully contained the increasing losses, and even after counterattack, the Freemasons also suffered a lot of losses.
But the good times didn't last long. Just yesterday, several second-class apprentices who were quite loyal to the Illuminati left the academy for something. They were accidentally captured by the Freemasons who had been following them for a long time and were trapped in a cave outside the academy. .
Since these apprentices had made great contributions to the Illuminati, were extremely loyal, and were powerful, they were considered Gabriel's right-hand men. So in order to rescue a few people, he quickly sent people to lock the location of the cave.
In order to be on the safe side in case of an ambush by the Freemasons, this morning, Gabriel summoned dozens of Illuminati apprentices and went to the cave near Wheat Sui City outside the academy to carry out the rescue.
Li Wei, who came to Yihua for help, was one of them.
It went well at first. With his physique at the level of a knight and the blessing of the Holy Light Bead, Gabriel withstood the firepower of several second-class Masonic apprentices and rushed forward to kill the Masons present. All apprentices were killed.
However, after Gabriel went deep into the cave, he successfully rescued the second-class apprentices in the Freemasonry who were tortured to death by the second-class light therapy scroll in his hand.
When several apprentices woke up, they were not grateful for Gabriel's rescue at the first time. Instead, they claimed that it was a trap and quickly persuaded Gabriel to escape from here.
Just when Gabriel realized something was wrong and tried to leave the cave, he was suddenly blocked by as many as half a hundred Freemasons, most of whom were second-class apprentices.
Headed by Jess, the temporary vice-president who commands these Masonic apprentices, he is carrying a fourth-level range attack witchcraft scroll.
No apprentice present could withstand the power of this fourth-grade scroll.
Even Gabriel, who carries the Holy Light Technique, has a shield that can only withstand attacks at the third-level apprentice level due to the upper limit of his physique as a great knight.
If faced with a fourth-level scroll, Gabriel would not even have time to mobilize the Holy Light Technique to restore the life armor, and he would be torn to pieces by the power of the fourth-level scroll along with the shield.
Forced by the deterrent power of the scroll and in order to protect the dozens of Illuminati apprentices who followed him as much as possible, Gabriel withdrew to Shandong and entered into a stalemate with a larger number of Freemason apprentices outside the cave.
During this period, Gabriel also tried to break out, but was eventually forced to retreat into the cave under the cover of the fourth-class scrolls and the more violent witchcraft of the Freemasons.
Several battles between the two sides resulted in losses, but under Gabriel's deliberate protection, the Illuminati's casualties were far lower than those of the Freemasons, who had extreme contempt for the lives of the lowest members of the order.
In order to convey the message to Yi Hua, the Illuminati apprentices in the cave spent a lot of effort and finally sent Levi out at the expense of several apprentices being seriously injured.
Just as Li Wei finished explaining in front of him, Yi Hua keenly sensed a key point -
"With Melkor's strength, it is easy to destroy Gabriel and others, but in Li Wei's narrative, it is impossible to ambush Gabriel." Their Masonic apprentices were led by temporary vice-president Jess. Melkor only issued orders against the Illuminati. Could it be that Melkor himself was not present?" Thinking of this, Yihua's eyes suddenly opened up
:
" These Masonic apprentices have surrounded and refused to attack the Illuminati apprentices under my command. Maybe Gabriel and others are still useful to them, or they are not sure about destroying them. This also means that they are most likely waiting for Mir. Kou takes action?"
After thinking about this, new doubts arose in Yihua's heart.
"Logically speaking, Melkor most likely does not know the existence of merit points. In his opinion, even if these Illuminati apprentices are eliminated, it will not cause much loss to me..." Yihua glanced at
Li who was standing in front of him. Wei, after a brief thought, raised the possibility of Melkor acting in this way.
"Could it be that Melkor designed to suppress the Illuminati and ambush Gabriel and others just to take revenge on me? Or maybe these dozens of Illuminati apprentices have some special value to Melkor?" Ruo
said To retaliate, Melkor could have taken action at any time before, but why had he not retaliated earlier and had to wait until now to take action?
Judging from the fact that apprentices are currently preparing for the apprenticeship exam in a few days and working hard to improve their strength, Yihua believes that the second point is the most likely.
That is, the dozens of Illuminati apprentices trapped in the cave by the Freemasons have some unknown value to Melkor, and they must be obtained by Melkor himself.
Realizing this, Yihua's heart trembled. He knew that Gabriel and others were in a precarious situation at this moment.
"We can't delay it any longer! Once Melkor arrives in the cave, Gabriel and the others will have no hope of survival."
But before Yihua, who was planning to leave immediately, took the first step, his left foot hovered over He fell into the air and did not move immediately.
This is because Yihua realized an important point -
if he went to rescue Gabriel and bumped into Melkor after arriving, how should he deal with it?
"With my apparent strength, I am no match for Melkor, but with my identity, I cannot display my true strength openly..." After a moment of thinking, Yihua's eyes lit up and he found a way to break the situation
. The method -
that is, to use the identity of the "branch president" of the Illuminati that has never appeared since the beginning of the Illuminati's establishment.
If it were before, it would still take a lot of effort to disguise one's identity.
But now, through the flexible use of the talent of the third-class half-dead shaman's ever-changing body, Yihua can easily change his identity and take on the appearance of others with a flash of thought.
It's even easier to pretend to be an Illuminati branch president who doesn't exist in reality by pinching his face.
However, since each badge is bound to an apprentice, and out of fear of the boundary monument of the academy's witch formation, Yihua gave up his plan to disguise himself at this moment.
After giving Walter the order to stay behind, Yihua followed Levi's guidance and rode his magic mane horse to the cave dozens of miles away from the academy where Gabriel and others were trapped.
When he walked out of the boundary monument, because the real level did not match the badge level, the faint blue light shining on the body lasted for a few seconds longer.
Except for his rank, Yihua's other information was consistent with the information recorded in the badge, and he finally safely left the range covered by the academy's wizard array.
Since many apprentices will be promoted to higher levels outside the academy, but have no time to return to the academy to change their badges, in order to avoid the result that these apprentices are unable to return to the academy, the wizard array has set a looser level difference.
After the last battle to defend Camilla City, Yihua, who had already been promoted to a second-class apprentice, returned to the academy wearing the gray stone badge of a first-class apprentice.
After leaving the academy, following Li Wei's guidance, Yihua traveled more than ten miles.
After estimating that it was not far from the cave where Gabriel was trapped, Yihua suddenly stopped, his expression changed, and he began to show off his acting skills to Levi.
Li Wei, who was riding at the front, saw Yi Hua suddenly stop on the spot and asked in surprise:
"What's wrong, Mr. Vice President?"
Hearing Li Wei's question, Yi Hua did not answer immediately. Instead, he pretended that someone was communicating with him, looked serious, and muttered a few words from time to time.
Seeing Yihua's strange behavior in front of him, just when Levi was in doubt, Yihua suddenly showed a look of joy and explained to Levi: "That's great Levi! Just now
our Illuminati branch president Your Excellency contacted me and said that he is nearby, you wait here now, I will be back soon!"
After hearing what Yi Hua said, Li Wei's pupils shrank and he responded quickly.
Basically all the apprentices who join the Illuminati are extremely curious about the legendary Illuminati branch president who exists but has never appeared.
In the conventional thinking of most apprentices, Yi Hua, who is the vice-president of the branch and has entered the academy for less than three years, is powerful enough to kill ordinary third-level ferocious beasts.
The legendary branch president who has never appeared before must be more powerful than Yihua, even better than Yihua.
Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but look forward to meeting the legendary branch president. At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed and nervous.
Seeing Li Wei nodding in agreement, Yihua didn't waste any time. He immediately dismounted and walked towards the depths of the surrounding lush forest.
To be on the safe side, Yihua walked a distance of more than a thousand meters.
After careful inspection to confirm that the environment was safe and there were no other people around, Yihua stopped.
According to the plan that had already been formed in his heart, Yihua made an idea.
Along with the slight distortion of the surrounding space, a three-meter-tall faceless figure with black flames burning on its surface and a slender body appeared in the forest.
Compared to the Fearful Shadow, the Faceless Shadow relies on the innate ability of its ever-changing body to have a more powerful camouflage ability.
And Yihua's plan was to make the faceless figure in front of him disguise himself as himself.
Later, he used the third-class half-dead witch body fused with the faceless shadow to disguise himself as the non-existent "Illuminati branch president."
Under Yi Hua's control, the faceless shadow in front of him twisted its body and was wrapped in black flames.
Only a few seconds passed before the black flames on the faceless shadow's body dissipated.
What appeared in front of Yi Hua's eyes was a figure with a natural expression and actions, who looked the same as Yi Hua in appearance. Even the white wizard robe he wore was exactly the same as Yi Hua's.
If it weren't for the soul connection with the Faceless Shadow under his command, and Yi Hua had witnessed the transformation process of the Faceless Shadow with his own eyes.
Even with his third-class apprentice level strength, it is difficult to easily see the disguise of the Faceless Shadow, unless it is detected at close range for a long time.
Moreover, the powerful camouflage talent of the Thousand-Changing Body allows the Faceless Shadow to create the same clothes as the original owner.
However, these clothes are still essentially part of the body of the Faceless Shadow Black Flame. Damage to the clothes will also cause injuries to the body.
Therefore, the greatest use of this ability is not in combat, but mainly for camouflage.
