Chapter 1180: 369. Misleading Double Connect
Noland Lee flew to the Jewelry Workshop where the Light Wizards were located.
He descended from the sky, relying on the “Veil of Different Worlds” he wore, and directly passed through the lower-powered Protective Arrays surrounding their outpost.
Not directly storming into the Valuables Warehouse to take the Gem Box was entirely for caution, not that Noland Lee and the Assassin Angel couldn’t do it.
They were simply trying to prevent the Metal Ancestor Dragon within Paisi Dingda from noticing the anomaly in the warehouse too quickly, hence why they approached the Gem Box indirectly through Jay Spade.
Invisible, Noland slipped through the door crack into Jay Spade’s Study Room and cast “Mind Control” at close range on this somewhat elderly Light Wizard.
Noland’s “Mind Control” had only 10% completeness, its power being 10% of the normal circumstance.
...
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to control Jay Spade, the Eighth-Circle Light Wizard.
But this time was different.
The moment “Mind Control” was successfully cast, Noland received a system message unlike any before.
[Notice!]
[You have used “Mind Control (100-level)” on “Jay Spade”.]
[The target has been covered by the “Veil of Different Worlds”, reducing the resistance to Mental Magic to a level from 80 years ago.]
[Your “Mind Control” is now effective, the actual effect is 1000% of the panel data!]
The resistance to Mental Magic had dropped to the level of 80 years ago!
Eighty, years, ago!
Eighty years ago, Jay Spade was still a baby, at most possessing the intellect and disposition of a three-year-old child, hardly capable of resisting Noland’s 100-level “Mind Control”!
This was another usage of the “Veil of Different Worlds,” a marvelous use Noland had only recently learned of from the Assassin Angel!
In gaming terms, the “Veil of Different Worlds” could specifically reduce a target’s certain type of resistance.
Until now, Noland thought that the Assassin Angel had ascended to the Throne of Angels and became titled as the “Assassin Angel” by relying on the invisibility feature of the “Veil of Different Worlds”.
Only now did he understand that this unparalleled method of lowering resistance was the real trump card of the Assassin Angel!
Assassinating a max-level Big Shot was extremely challenging, but assassinating a childhood version of a max-level Big Shot was as easy as flipping a hand.
This was the essence of the Assassin Angel.
Noland was shocked by the other’s methods for half a second, then recovered and focused his attention on controlling Jay Spade.
Jay Spade acted as if his soul had been lost, completely manipulated by Noland.
He walked toward the door, arrived in front of the warehouse door, one hand tracing the magical lines to unlock the Array on the door, and the other hand picking up the key ring to open the Magical Machinery Lock.
Due to the significant decrease in mental acuity under the influence of the “Veil of Different Worlds,” when Jay Spade saw the gem box inside the warehouse, he unleashed a bare, unhidden burst of love for the tremendous wealth. noveldrama
This was a typical display of affection for beloved objects by humans during their childhood.
Except, Jay Spade was no longer the cute baby from 80 years ago but now had the appearance of a middle-aged man.
His display of youthful innocence on a middle-aged face appeared as “greed” and even somewhat sleazy through Paisi Dingda’s eyes…
“Ahem… ahem…” Two soft coughs came from Nextdoor.
At this moment, Noland was just controlling Jay Spade to touch the Gem Box.
He felt a murky wave of energy infiltrating Jay Spade’s body.
[Warning!]
[An unknown target is detecting “Jay Spade”!]
[Your “Mind Control” is being disrupted!]
[Remaining control time reduced by 60%, now 32 seconds!]
Jay Spade’s body twitched slightly, trying to resist the Mental Magic controlling him.
Noland immediately noticed the resistance from the other party and the likely detection spell from Paisi Dingda.
The Assassin Angel also noticed this.
The spread of the “Veil of Different Worlds” over the Gem Box sped up even more.
1 second later.
“All right, the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ has covered the Gem Box. Have Jay Spade take the box and return to the study,” said the Assassin Angel.
Noland nodded, controlling Jay Spade to reach for the box.
The initially over two meters tall Gem Box shrunk and transformed into a palm-sized Metal Box, squarely shaped like a Magic Cube.
Such an effect of changing object size could only be cast by the “Veil of Different Worlds” wielded by the Assassin Angel; Noland’s imitation “Veil of Different Worlds” couldn’t do it.
It has to be said, this was another instance that made Noland realize the genuine “Veil of Different Worlds” was incredibly useful.
Looking back to where the Gem Box originally was, an illusionary Gem Box created by the “Veil of Different Worlds” remained in place, replacing the real one and clouding Paisi Dingda’s vision, preventing him from alerting the Metal Ancestor Dragon.
Without another word, Noland controlled Jay Spade to turn around and leave, locking the warehouse’s Great Gate, and returned to the Study Room.
At this time, the duration of “Mind Control” was nearly expiring, and Jay Spade showed clear signs of breaking free from the control.
“What have you done with my body?! Base villain!!”
Jay Spade roared.
Noland couldn’t be bothered with him, simply reached around his waist to take the Magic-Cube-sized Gem Box, and also took the key ring to prevent the Light Wizards from entering the warehouse to check, buying time.
Gem Box acquired!
Noland silently called Denise Green to come.
In the faint glow of fire covered by the “Veil of Different Worlds,” Denise appeared invisibly within the stronghold of the Pure Light Court.
