"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"No, don't!!!!"
In the real World.
Kaecilius was still bound by the Bone Spike Whip.
However, his body was twitching and trembling uncontrollably compared to before.
The expression on his face showed complete collapse and fear.
His eyes were wide with panic, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Looking at Kaecilius in front of him.
Sharlot couldn't help but exclaim.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this illusion created by the Chaos Shield is simply killing and punishing the heart!"
Since the initiator of the Chaos Shield was Sharlot himself.
Therefore, he was also able to see the illusion that the Chaos Shield made Kaecilius see.
As the saying goes.
The one involved is confused, the bystander is clear.
When he viewed the illusion Kaecilius was facing from a third-person perspective.
He knew very well.
How terrifying the illusion the Chaos Shield had set up for Kaecilius truly was!
First.
It applied a fear BUFF to Kaecilius, causing his SAN value to drop rapidly as time passed.
His acceptance of the logic of appearing objects would be as natural as a dream.
For example, normally, his wife and children, who had long since died, could not appear in the real World.
But when the two of them appeared alive in front of Kaecilius.
Kaecilius, with reduced rationality and SAN value, would not feel anything amiss.
He just accepted it directly!
After the Chaos Shield created this effect.
It began the second step!
That is, within the Mirror Dimension space, which Kaecilius was proud of and believed he had control over.
Let the Blade of Space, which he was most proud of, kill the person he cared about most in his life!
You know.
The reason Kaecilius joined Kamar-Taj to learn magic.
Wasn't it because his wife and children died early, so he wanted to learn magic to save them?
But in this illusion?
The magic he had painstakingly studied for many years not only failed to resurrect his wife and children, but instead killed them again!
This was simply killing and punishing the heart!
No wonder when the system introduced the functions of this Chaos Shield.
It wrote—
"The Chaos Shield will cause extremely strong mental pollution to enemies!
Severe cases will lead to mental breakdown, or even instant death!"
Even a Sorcerer like Kaecilius, who had fought Dark Magicians and Dark Creatures for many years and possessed an abnormal psychological fortitude, ended up like this in front of the Chaos Shield.
What about others?
Therefore, Sharlot believed.
Such a powerful Chaos Shield should be used as much as possible to avoid harming the innocent in the future.
It should only be aimed at those truly evil villains who constantly want to destroy the Earth.
As for supplementing defensive capabilities...?
The Black Skulls on the cloak of the undead would serve as his defensive tools.
After all.
The Chaos Shield itself did not have much defensive capability.
And besides that.
This cloak of the undead could also change its form at will according to his wishes.
Transforming it into a set of ordinary casual clothes.
Who would have thought that this set of clothes actually had terrifyingly high defensive power!
To a certain extent, it could also mislead opponents... Just as Sharlot was feeling this internally.
Suddenly.
A loud 'bang' sound came from behind Sharlot.
He quickly looked back.
Only to see.
A sharp Blade of Space had appeared behind his neck at some unknown time.
The distance from his neck was less than ten centimeters.
"Damn it!
Was this the attack Kaecilius launched at me just now?"
At this moment.
He realized.
Where the Chaos Shield was superior to the Magic Shield.
In actual combat, the situation against an enemy would often be like this.
You detect something is wrong.
However, you don't know where this wrongness comes from.
Even if you activate a Magic Shield for protection, how much can it protect?
You know.
At most, this Magic Shield could only defend against attacks from one general direction.
But it was completely unprepared for such a sudden sneak attack from behind.
Therefore, the conventional White magic Magic Shield still had some flaws in defense.
But this Chaos Shield was different.
It directly used offense as defense!
First, it used illusions to make the enemy's mind and body collapse.
Making them completely unwilling to fight!
Then, those charged moves would naturally dissipate into thin air.
Directly solving the enemy's attack problem from the root!
"Indeed... the best defense is offense?"
Just as Sharlot was muttering.
A golden Portal appeared in front of him.
The Sorcerer Ancient One, with a peaceful expression, walked in.
"Sharlot, being trapped here isn't a good feeling, is it?
I'm here to get you out... Hmm!??
Kaecilius?
How did he end up like this!??"
The Ancient One looked at Kaecilius, whose clothes were completely corroded, whose skin was dark and bruised, who was tightly bound by the Bone Spike Whip, and whose face was filled with despair.
She was instantly dumbfounded.
What's going on?
In all of Kamar-Taj, Kaecilius, whose strength was second only to hers and who was revered by the disciples, was just instantly defeated by Sharlot!?
This was only his second day of learning magic!
Is he that powerful!?
If she gave him another three to five days.
Would her position as Sorcerer Supreme have to be relinquished?
Seeing the Sorcerer Ancient One arrive.
Sharlot also retracted his attack on Kaecilius.
He explained.
"Oh, it's like this.
When I was learning that energy whip, I felt its power was too weak, so I opened a Portal and extracted a few vertebrae from the backs of dozens of Dark Creatures to form a Bone Spike Whip.
As long as it brushes against someone, they will suffer extreme corrosion.
Greatly increasing the attack power of the whip!
And as for that Magic Shield, when I was learning it, I felt its defensive effect was somewhat inadequate.
So I slightly modified this magic.
Changing it from a defensive magic to an offensive magic.
It can use offense as defense!
It creates illusions to make the enemy's mind collapse, thereby preventing them from making effective attack moves.
Sorcerer Ancient One, you see, my modification to this magic, should still be acceptable, right?"
Listening to Sharlot's narration.
The Ancient One was almost numb.
Acceptable?
This was beyond acceptable!
The energy whip and Magic Shield could actually be modified like this!?
This was something she had never imagined!
After all.
As the basic magic of Kamar-Taj, the energy whip and Magic Shield had been passed down for thousands of years.
In her opinion, they had long been optimized to the most perfect state!
There was no more room for modification.
But what about now?
Sharlot had only been learning these two spells for less than ten minutes.
And he had transformed them to such an extent!?
Their power had increased by more than tenfold!
However... why was this magic so sinister and so much like Dark Magic?
However.
Thinking that the person who modified this magic was Sharlot.
The Sorcerer Ancient One then felt.
Hmm.
This was very normal.
After all, this child Sharlot.
Learned everything as Dark Magic!
"Sorcerer Ancient One!
You're here!
Quick, let's work together to deal with this Dark Magician!"
The illusion created by the Chaos Shield was like a nightmare.
Indeed, nightmares are terrifying while sleeping.
But after waking up, the degree of fear of the nightmare drops sharply.
Kaecilius was in this situation.
Coupled with years of fighting Dark Creatures.
His psychological fortitude was also quite high.
After Sharlot removed the Chaos Shield.
Within moments.
His mental state had recovered by seventy to eighty percent.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi.
He immediately clung to her, hoping to deal with the Dark Magician in front of him together.
However.
The Ancient One gently shook her head.
And said with a smile.
"Kaecilius, it seems you've misunderstood something.
This Dark Magician you're talking about is the new disciple I told you about yesterday—Sharlot."
Kaecilius: ???
What?
You're telling me.
This Dark Magician is Sharlot!?
Kaecilius couldn't help but recall what he had said yesterday—
"The name Sharlot sounds like a good kid."
But looking at him now.
Is this a good kid?
Look at the three-meter-long bone thorns whip in his hand!
Look at the black, eerie shield in his hand!
Look at the cloak behind him made of countless dark Black Skulls!
By what measure does this guy look like a good person?
Oh no, there was one point where he still looked like a good person.
That was the man named Sharlot had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a heroic face, and an aura as if he was irreconcilably opposed to evil.
Just from his appearance, he exuded righteousness!
Making people feel trustworthy and reliable!
But.
When combined with the Chaos Shield, Bone Spike Whip, Hell's Gate, and cloak of the undead, all filled with Dark Magic aura.
It gave people an extremely strange sense of contrast.
At this moment.
Kaecilius just wanted to complain.
"No!
Your disciple, Ancient One!
Why are all his skills so sinister!"
