The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 466: So Vladimir gave up thinking (2 in 1)
If you can't dodge or defend... you will most likely only have one chance to attack.
It's like a cowboy duel.
Either two people fall down at the same time... The one who strikes faster can easily knock down the slower one. It is basically impossible for a person who has suffered damage to make another effective attack.
"Then let me count down!"
The tragedy writer, who was almost dancing with excitement, raised his voice: "The ten-second countdown, at the end of the countdown——"
He said, extending his hand forward.
A stream of light flashed in his hand - a simple short gun appeared in his hand.
This was the weapon that assassinated the ruler of the United Kingdom when the short gun was just born. It was dedicated to the tragedian as a sacrifice.
"After hearing the gunfire, you are allowed to attack freely!"
Declared the tragedian.
Just like someone who is excited to be the referee when watching two people racing.
He just wants to have fun.
But he doesn't bother to be part of the fun - but if it's just to do something, or to be a witness, he would be very happy.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
It was not recognized by the two of them, but the tragedy writer did not have that kind of reserve.
He was quite thick-skinned - seeing that both of them ignored him, he started the countdown energetically.
Annan turned sideways.
Switching to the Three Siren held in his left hand, he hid it behind his back; and he raised his right hand and pointed the magic spear given by the Bone Burial Granny at the chest of Vladimir the Winter Defying One.
The reason why it is not aimed at the head is that it is not necessary.
The pure white sawed-off shotgun named "The Bone Picker's Forgiveness" was something that was born before the concept of "gun" appeared. There is no problem in saying that it is the oldest gun or the prototype of a shotgun.
But in the ancient past, the "Bone Picker's Forgiveness" obviously had other uses——
It has no magazine, no safety, and no easy-to-reset trigger.
The lower part of this magic gun is more similar to a powerful pliers than a shotgun.
Annan had a vague feeling.
It's like...
As long as you want, you can "erase" this person.
On the other side, Vladimir also felt that the sense of crisis suddenly rose.
When Annan just took out this weapon, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine - Vladimir's extraordinary perception could make him alert to attacks that could kill him.
In fact, Vladimir did not know the specific effect of this weapon.
But he could tell from the chill down his spine that as long as he was brushed aside by it, he might be dead...and not even Black Mameni could resist its effect.
However, since it needs to aim at itself and put the hand in the "firing position", it means that it is not a conditional firing or a thought firing.
In other words, it must have a "firing" action.
Vladimir narrowed his eyes and thought quickly.
"...five, four, three..."
The tragedy writer’s countdown has not stopped.
But Vladimir has finalized his tactics.
——Since it needs to be fired, Annan must have some action if he wants to launch an attack.
How fast can he fire?
0.1 seconds? 0.01 seconds? Or is it shorter?
But, no matter what——
Vladimir took a deep breath. The noble false body behind him was stirring, and a dark and desperate realm spread out beneath him. It was also like a living creature that was awakened... and gradually crawled towards Annan.
——No matter what, Annan must make an "attack action"!
"...Two, one!"
The tragedy writer raised his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
At the moment when gunshots pierced the sky.
Vladimir’s pupils suddenly turned into abyss-like black.
This is... the first incapacitation school spell unique to the Hand of Winter that he learned when he was the "Hand of Winter".
It's called [Deep Cold Gaze].
The pure black ice condensed from the heart of the Hand of Winter is enough to freeze the enemy's sense of time - in other words, it is a spell that uses one's own negative emotions as a trigger to instantly shock the mind of the person who is looking at it. .
The stronger the negative emotions such as hatred, fear, and despair are in the heart, the colder the black ice becomes.
Because the activation conditions for this spell only require eye contact to be triggered - with a 100% hit rate, even a silver-level wizard will be shocked.
Because this spell is not dizziness, coma or hypnosis.
Instead, it suspends the enemy's perception of the passage of time.
It's like being in a daze for a while, and suddenly realizing that a long time has passed - the effect of this spell is to "ignore part of the time."
I don’t realize that I am being controlled at all... so there is no way to talk about the possibility of releasing the control.
The powerful will attribute can still significantly weaken the control time. But even if the wizard with the Silver Soul succeeds in saving, he will still be controlled for a moment.
At this moment, another incapacitation spell can be used.
——[Loss of fighting spirit]!
Can only be used against enemies who are unable to control their bodies for various reasons, freezing the opponent's "offensive consciousness" for a short period of time. When this spell is saved by extraordinary will and other effects for the first time, the negative state of "unable to control the body" will be given priority as an alternative.
A skill that beats the drowned dog and forces a change of initiative.
When used in combination with [Deep Cold Gaze], the opponent can stop attacking immediately no matter what - thus ensuring the upper hand during the raid.
The combination of these two spells is also the source of the dark legend of the Hand of Winter:
According to legend, the Hand of Winter is an incapacitated wizard who has completely frozen his inner feelings and is an emotionless monitor.
They can instantly freeze the enemy's mind, making the opponent lose the ability to resist. They can even freeze a certain memory of another person or a certain emotion in their heart, turning the enemy into a friend...
Compared with the spells of the Ice Vein Warlock series, Hand of Winter is actually more proficient in the "Silence Warlock" series of spells. This is closer to the spell of the soul-stealing school, but it lacks plasticity.
The reason why this new school of thought is named "Disablement" is that in addition to the frost of "losing heat", it also includes the "loss of power" in the soul.
——Yes, from the beginning, Vladimir had no intention of using the power of elements to attack Annan first.
As Vladimir also knows, Annan is carrying a secret of creation... He is also a ritual master. In other words, the "ten fingers" of the superior Winter Hand must know more or less some ritual knowledge.
Just by looking at the weight of Annan's soul, he knew that he must hold a secret of creation.
This level of mysterious knowledge is indeed power in itself.
It is also enough to seriously injure or even kill Vladimir.
But...
——Only secret words about winter will not kill Annan. Because Annan holds the reversed Heart of Winter, he is immune to fatal blows from frost attacks.
Other secrets of creation will be destroyed along with Annan.
Whether Annan dares to use this mysterious knowledge is another matter...
Even if what Annan holds is really the secret of creation given to him by his grandmother... Annan doesn't have the time to read it out.
——Singing also takes time, and it can only be sung with your mouth. Recording equipment is not designed to handle that level of power.
And Vladimir is obviously not the kind of BOSS who...will watch the hero transform or stand still while the hero casts Memory Kill to buff himself.
If Annan really dared to stand and chant, he would definitely be defeated.
Annan naturally knew about this.
So he won't use this extremely long-delayed killing move.
His only means of attack is that strange gun,
Similarly, Vladimir will not use his elemental power.
Vladimir’s elemental power, which has been purified enough to unfold his noble disguise, is indeed his strongest spear.
It was like the moment they just met - Annan was completely unable to resist this attack, and he only needed one blow to paralyze Annan instantly.
But the expansion of the field itself takes time.
Elemental power can only be effective on enemies within the area or enemies touched by the noble avatar.
So Vladimir specially activated the power of his elements, as if he wanted to use the power of elements to attack Annan... But in the end, he feinted a shot and took control of Annan first!
"Sorry, I won."
Vladimir took a deep breath.
He had no intention of killing Annan from the very beginning.
Just like what he said——
Until the end, he will never repent.
Because as long as he can still move, Vladimir will never give up!
If you can successfully perform the first round of control, you can use the characteristics of the Hand of Winter to freeze Annan's hostility. If [Loss of Fighting Will] successfully eliminates Annan's desire to attack, then [Forced Peace] can be used to further prevent Annan's actions.
If the [Forced Peace] state lasts for a certain period of time, you can use [Friendly Technique] to add a "harmless" label to yourself.
Then you can use [Host Elimination] to turn enemies into friends.
After completely losing hostility, you can use [Advanced Friendly Technique] to obtain a "close person" label. Afterwards, whether you want to use hypnosis to control the other party or conduct interrogation, you will get more accurate results. You can even directly transfer to the field of the soul-stealing school and start modifying the memory.
The Hand of Winter is like this... As long as you are hit and controlled once, you will face an endless stream of various chain control professions.
This is one of the chain transformation directions.
In addition, there is also the "capture mode" in which a person's mind and personality are completely frozen and turned into a puppet; or the "interference mode" in which the mind and body are controlled alternately.
This is exactly the spellcasting skill they use to serve the Archduke of Winter and protect the holders of the "Heart of Winter".
Now it is being used by Vladimir against Annan Winter.
This is exactly what the tragedy writer wants to see——
But when Vladimir quickly chanted the incapacitation spell [Forced Peace].
But he suddenly saw the corners of Annan's mouth rising slightly.
At that moment, Vladimir’s pupils suddenly tightened.
Annan just... didn't have the desire to attack?
As long as the opponent wants to attack, [Loss of Fighting Will] can completely freeze this emotion.
But if this thought does not exist in Annan's mind at all, the effect of [Loss of Fighting Will] will be completely nullified.
This soul-stealing spell like [Fear Deepening] must require the opponent's [Fear] to be strong enough to be manifested to the surface of consciousness; however, the idol school spell of [Fearless and Fearless] can be used without the [Fear] state. down is applied.
Generally speaking, the Hand of Winter will not directly use [Loss of Fighting Will] on an enemy that it knows nothing about.
This means controlling the break.
On the contrary, it increases the possibility of the opponent's saving throw against [Deep Cold Gaze].
The follow-up of [Deep Cold Gaze] can also be connected to [Deep Cold Manifestation], causing the opponent's mind to be frozen and the body to be frozen at the same time; or it can also be used to connect to [Eye of Sloth], to Further strengthen the control effect of Deep Cold Gaze.
When it is connected to [Loss of Fighting Will], it is usually when facing a kidnapper or a dark wizard who is about to attack... This happens when the opponent has already gained the upper hand and has to stop him.
As for Vladimir, he previously hinted that "I have lost", "I hate disgraceful fights", and finally proposed to Annan the rule that "no one is allowed to escape or evade", It's a trap in itself.
As long as Annan believes it and plans to seize time to attack Vladimir first - his right to take the initiative will be completely lost.
Even, control of the mind was directly taken away by Vladimir!
Then use the Three Sirens on Vladimir... to confirm Vladimir's prophecy!
... Could it be that Annan predicted his actions from the very beginning?
Even giving up the right to move first, betting that he will use the standard "attack routine" of the Hand of Winter?
But in that case, if he uses the power of elements... Annan will have no chance of fighting back!
This is simply a gamble!
——No!
Vladimir suddenly saw ~IndoMTL.com~ among the three sirens behind Annan...
I don’t know when, but a color has been lost!
But that is not the white color that belongs to "Crazy Blood".
——In that moment, Vladimir understood.
Annan's decision-making...is the same as his.
He pretended to attack with the power of elements, but actually used incapacitating spells triggered by vision - and Annan did not regard that strange gun as the only hope for a comeback.
"——Ligeya!"
Annan shouted the siren's real name "Qing Tiao".
A blue, extremely beautiful brilliance flashed past Vladimir.
He didn't even see what the siren named "Ligea" looked like.
His right hand suddenly became empty——
The calmness and indifference of being isolated from the world also dissipated instantly with the disappearance of Black Mamenni.
Or... it's more than that.
His entire consciousness is gradually dissipating.
The first thing I lost was my insight into sound. The whole world fell into silence...then color, then light.
He was no longer angry or in pain. No more missing or hesitating.
——Vladimir, like an unborn fetus, quietly stopped thinking.
