Chapter 1199 Moon-Devouring Illusion
Meanwhile, on the battlefield in another city.
Yueyou stood on a city wall, her long black hair flowing, looking down at the surrendered prisoners of the Evil Nether Clan.
"Hmm?" At this moment, she also sensed the strange phenomenon in the sky and looked up into the distance.
The distant horizon was being swallowed by darkness at an illogical speed, as if an invisible giant curtain was rapidly closing, forcibly dragging daylight into eternal night.
A gigantic moon, radiating an ominous blood-red light, hung eerily above the dark sky! On the surface of that blood moon, there were no familiar craters or lunar maria; instead, there were eerie patterns, like the iris of a giant, ferocious beast, slowly writhing and coldly gazing down upon the earth!
What is that?
Yueyou's pupils contracted.
In this world, the blue planet has a total of twelve satellites, which are twelve moons, but no moon has ever been seen with such strange lunar patterns!
"Hiss—Roar!!!"
“Haa ...
Then, something unexpected happened!
The hundreds of evil Netherworld warriors and their evil beast mounts below, who had been knocked to the ground and lost their will to resist, suddenly rose up as if they had gone mad!
Their eyes were vacant, replaced by a violent ferocity, and low growls, unlike human voices, came from their throats!
Yueyou frowned slightly.
Something's not right...
“Roar——!!”
On the city wall, a warrior of the Evil Nether Clan, like a mad beast, swung his giant axe and charged toward Yue You, who was suspended in the air, with bloodshot eyes!
A cold glint flashed in Yueyou's eyes. But she didn't even need to swing her sword; with a mere thought, an invisible spatial blade precisely sliced through the warrior's body!
The man's charging figure froze instantly, then collapsed silently like a sandcastle, turning into a cloud of blood mist that drifted away in the wind!
However, this action did not deter the other members of the Evil Nether Clan; instead, it was like lighting a powder keg! More warriors roared wildly, swarming forward like a swarm of ants that had lost their minds!
Yueyou's eyes narrowed, and she unfurled the Fallen Angel wings on her back. With the flapping of her black wings, she instantly killed more than a dozen Evil Nether Clan warriors!
Just as she was wondering why these previously surrendered Evil Netherworld warriors suddenly had the courage to resist again, Yueyou discovered that these Evil Netherworld people were not targeting her, but were attacking everyone around them indiscriminately!
These evil Netherworld people seemed to have gone mad and lost their minds, tearing and killing each other indiscriminately!
What alarmed Yueyou even more was that the two Fallen Angel generals who had come with her—Colonel Carlo and General Ziyu—now had bloodshot eyes, bulging veins on their faces, and were roaring like wild beasts as they fiercely attacked each other with their weapons!
"Well......!"
Yueyou let out a muffled groan and lightly bit her lower lip.
A strong feeling of dizziness suddenly struck!
She instinctively covered her forehead, as if the world before her eyes had been veiled in a thick, blood-red filter. Even more terrifying, a strange, malevolent energy seemed to be stirred within her, an uncontrollable, violent killing intent like a poisonous vine sprouting and coiling from the depths of her heart, frantically assaulting her reason and giving her a craving for blood and destruction!
'It's the effect of that blood moon...' she thought to herself, immediately biting her lower lip, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her lips.
The stinging sensation brought her back to her senses somewhat!
"kill!!!"
Colonel Carlo, his eyes red, charged toward her.
When Yueyou regained her senses, her eyes sharpened when she saw Carlo rushing towards her.
"Shh-!"
His figure transformed into a blurry black shadow, instantly appearing behind Carlo at an incredible angle! At the same time, a hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely gripping Carlo's sword-wielding wrist, the overwhelming force instantly suppressing his movements! The other hand, fingers pointed like a knife, carrying condensed dark energy, swiftly and accurately slashed towards the back of Carlo's neck!
"boom!"
Colonel Carlo groaned as he was knocked to the ground.
Yueyou looked at the fallen Carlo, her serious expression unchanged, and instead looked at the Blood Moon in the distance: "What exactly happened?"
......
“It’s an illusion.” The Dream Butterfly’s translucent wings fluttered gently as it hovered in mid-air and said softly, “That blood moon created an illusion of extremely high intensity and wide range. Everyone who is touched by that blood moon will be affected by the illusion.”
Cang Ting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Who did this?"
The two of them originally wanted to join forces to take over more territory.
The rules only stated that each race was allowed to send only three strong warriors to participate in the war, but they did not specify whether the major races could form alliances.
But unexpectedly, this happened.
The Dream Butterfly said, "I sensed that the power of the blood moon should come from some kind of malevolent force, not an ordinary illusion."
"Fierce and malevolent power?" Cang Ting asked. "Could it be from a ferocious beast?"
"Moreover, it's not just any ordinary ferocious beast." Dream Butterfly: "It seems to be one of the four ferocious beasts, Qiongqi."
"Qiongqi?" Cang Ting's eyes flickered. "After the chaos, another of the Four Fiends has appeared? Could it be...?"
Cang Ting paused, then continued, "Could it be that the chairman has some plan he's secretly implementing... and hasn't informed us yet?"
Dream Butterfly: "He's been doing things without informing us other shareholders for quite some time now."
Cang Ting gave a cold snort and said nothing more.
Just then, the two dragon generals and the insect general they brought surrounded them!
At this moment, their eyes were filled with chaos and crimson killing intent, their heavy breathing was like that of wild beasts, and their weapons were already aimed at Cang Ting and Huan Meng Cai Die! Clearly, they too had been corrupted by the Blood Moon Illusion Art!
Cang Ting glanced at the Zerg Empress beside him and said calmly, "You're an expert in illusions, so you should be able to help them break free from the illusions, right?"
After a moment of silence, Huanmeng Caidie said, "It is not easy to completely dispel Qiongqi's evil illusions, but it should be feasible to temporarily isolate their influence and control them."
As she spoke, she swiftly formed intricate and mysterious hand seals in front of her chest, her fingertips radiating soft, seven-colored light as she cast a spell.
Her clear, cold voice rang out like a chant: "Soul Skill - Dream Binding Cocoon!"
Countless fine, silky energy threads, shimmering with iridescent light, burst forth!
These threads instantly wrapped around the generals who were controlled by the illusion! They rapidly intertwined, wrapped, and covered, forming several huge, translucent, cocoon-like cocoons of light on their bodies in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, the frenzied Demon Warriors were suddenly enveloped in the same seven-colored light, surrounded by layers of enormous cocoons of light that appeared out of nowhere! The frantic struggles of the Demon Warriors and demonic beasts trapped within the cocoons gradually slowed, eventually settling into a state of forced stillness...
