The nobles were all frightened, the darts exploded? And a single dart was enough to kill him? He was in the 7th string!
Most nobles, seeing a Dantian Core Formation of the 7th string dying like that, felt their heart freeze in fright.
Suddenly, one of the nobles screamed, "CALM DOWN!"
Whether he screamed for calm down himself or the others, not even he knew; yet he knew one thing, "If we give up now, only death will be our option, is that what you want?"
The other nobles hearing him quickly calmed themselves, he was right, if death was the only option, why would they give up at all? It was better to not surrender instead and grab that small chance of victory!
With this new determination, their eyes became devoid of panic and filled in resolution.
Suddenly, the earth began to rumble, as if predicting the arrival of something tremendous.
From afar, the nobles noticed a silhouette moving, yet not getting closer. Taking a better look, they noticed that the silhouette was a large solid cube, with many holes in the front.
They were all puzzled, what was that?
As if answering their question, one of the holes appeared to explode, and something came out of it, aiming toward the nobles.
*Boom*
Observing it, their expression quickly turned frightened: it was another dart!
Knowing that they would die if hit and that a wall would not stop it, they decided to use a different spell: Lightning! If they could make the darts explode before they reached them, wouldn't that be enough?
Nodding to each other, they all began chanting:
"I request thee;
Lend me your light;
Defeat my foes;
Lightning!"
In front of them, following the chant appeared a small light, which appeared to be charging until it suddenly shot toward the dart.
*BOOM*
Hitting it, the dart exploded mid-air, and the nobles rejoiced: the hope wasn't yet lost!
"We can defend from the darts! Quickly prepare yourself for the next one!" Once motivated the nobles again, the noble who just talked turned back again toward the source of the darts, but he suddenly froze.
From the large solid cube, not only one or two darts came out, more than ten were launched every second!
*Fiuuu*
In the sight of the nobles, the darts didn't appear as darts anymore, but as enormous calamities falling from the sky!
Witnessing the barrage of darts, many nobles were losing hope, yet none of them stopped from using the lightning magic, hoping to stop the darts.
Suddenly, in front of one noble who just completed the chant, a light appeared, which shot toward a dart… however the dart evaded it!
The noble seeing it, fell on the ground, "Did they... learn how to dodge the lightning?" The realization dumbstruck all of them, how were they supposed to defend now?
Frowning, one of the nobles insisted, "We could try to gain control over this Illusion Realm."
His words lit up many eyes, "If we focus together for it, maybe we can!"
Focusing on the darts, the nobles tried to gain control over them, however, no matter how they gritted their teeth, the darts would not budge.
"This is impossible… just how much control does he have over this Illusion Realm?" A voice in disbelief from the nobles caused panic over all of them, wasn't this just a torture? Did he make this to punish us from trying to escape earlier?
Losing all hope, they fell on the ground, staring at the incoming darts. If they use a wall the darts will evade it, if they use a lightning the darts will still evade it… and the sheer amount of darts was already enough by itself to kill everyone… what were they supposed to do?
Even the noble who first tried to calm the others was frightened now, no matter what he thought, he couldn't find a single solution.
As if using the chance that all the nobles lowered their guard, the ground under the nobles suddenly vanished.
Abruptly losing their footing the nobles were all shocked, failing to react quick enough before hundreds of swords stabbed all of them. Even upon death, their eyes were still wide open in disbelief.
After confirming that they were all dead, Shu Himo smirked, 'There is no way they could break the Illusion Realm thanks to my new ability with the violin: Vibrational Waves! By filling the Illusion Realm with imperceptible waves that disrupt the concentration of who is trapped within, I can prevent most people from breaking the Illusion Realm and instead enhance its effect!'
[Does the User want to be praised after explaining it to the system? As if there weren't limitations with it, like the fact that if the User's 'Intelligence' stat is too low compared to the opponent it doesn't work? Or the fact that if the User's cultivation realm is too low compared to the opponent it also doesn't work? To not talk about how the User needs to keep playing the violin to produce the waves...]
'How mean! I was just celebrating that I was used it for the first time against enemies!'
[What about focusing on the fight with the Nascent Soul realm expert instead?]
'Oh, you are right.'
At that moment, the Nascent Soul expert was facing one of the greatest crisis he ever had.
"Just what is that thing?" Disbelief clearly written in the voice resounding in the area, said from the man as he was continuously escaping from his opponent.
Unexpectedly, his opponent was an enormous indestructible white pillow...
