Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 285: That’s her! Part5

Xander was fully aware of the gravity of the situation and the danger that Tang Yue was in.

Illusionary spells were mysterious spells that used mental energy as the basis for their magic.

The easiest and surest way to block them was to physically coat yourself with a mana barrier inside and out.

But not just any barrier worked. 

The barrier had to be thick and strong and capable enough to withstand the power behind the illusionary spell.

Erecting such a mana barrier was a time-consuming and energy drain process.

No one at least under the Saint realm can possibly have this kind of a mana barrier switched on 24/7.

But that’s what exactly an illusionary spell defense needed.

These long-range spells could be cast silently at any point in time. 

It was almost impossible to guard against them every single day and at all times.

But if one didn’t do this, they could be easily susceptible to various kinds of mental attacks, some even strong enough to drive a person permanently crazy.

Xander knew and understood this well and quickly erected a mana barrier around Tang Yue.

In fact, Xavier and Jorden had also done the same. All three acted quickly and simultaneously in that split second.

But unfortunately, that was not even nearly enough.

Unless Tang Yue acted and inwardly covered her conscience with a strong and sturdy mana barrier, no amount of these external mana barriers would be enough to thwart the mental attack.

The complexity and power of illusionary spells were indeed so tremendous.

This was why the serpentine clan managed to somehow survive through the years and even had a makeshift empire of their own, in spite of them being mere spirit beasts.

The fox spirit beasts didn’t have any such saving grace and their fate was much worse than the serpentine spirit beasts.

Most of the fox spirit beasts were bred as slaves and they didn’t have any territory to call their own. Those who evaded slavery, simply lived cavern to cavern as nomads.

After casting the mana barrier spell, Xander and Xavier first moved and Jorden quickly followed them.

The three of them instantly materialized near Tang Yue shocking and surprising everyone that had gathered.

Xander couldn’t care less about Tang Yue’s disguise and whatnot. 

He did not even intend to let things go this far in the first place. 

He merely wanted to tease her a bit and spend some time with her.

Her safety was his bottom line and he didn’t mind risking everything for the sake of it.

So knowing that the mana barrier was not completely effective in stopping the single mental attack, Xander quickly scanned the crowd for the culprit who had done this.

One way to stop the spell was using a mana barrier but the other more domineering way was to simply kill off the caster.

But everything happened in a fraction of a second, and even a Demi-God like Xander was not able to pull this off.

At best, once the attack landed, Xander could quickly heal Tang Yue and prevent any further mishaps from happening.

However, the current attack was definitely going to get through.

The swirling miasma of energy flew through the three mana barriers as if they were invisible.

Apart from reducing its intensity a bit, the mana barriers did nothing to stop the illusion spell.

Tang Xi sneered at all the powerful people assembling near her sister’s side.

It was useless.

The second that the enslave spell activates, she was going to command Tang Yue to cripple herself and there was nothing that anyone could do about it.

The woman’s eyes were wide open as she watched in glee, eagerly awaiting the chaos that was about to ensue.

She had cast the spell and the bitch was still in a trance. This was perfect.

She waited and waited and the weight of the mere second was torturous.

She couldn’t wait for Tang Yue to return to her crippled state.

She might have been able to cure her crippled meridians in the past, but once a cultivator renounces their cultivation and cripples themselves by destroying their mana cores, the change was irreversible.

No amount of elixirs and divine treasures would then be able to cure Tang Yue.

She would forever be the useless cripple that she always was.

Once that happens, would all these powerful men still stand beside her and fawn over her endlessly?

Tang Xi’s eyes sparkled with a vicious glint and her tongue danced in excitement as she watched the attack land on Tang Yue.

Success!!! She screamed inwardly.

At the same time, she quickly retreated into the shadows using the illusionary spell ‘Hide.’

With her mental strength being in the Demi-God realm, unfortunately, even Xander wouldn’t be able to sense her after casting ‘Hide’.

It was amazing! Everything had gone perfectly! 

All that she had to do now was to watch the bitch ruin herself and wither into nothingness.

Tang Xi chuckled maniacally.

Even the two goblins, Ginko and Gale, who had been monitoring her closely, were taken aback by the sudden disappearance of her presence.

They knew that Tang Xi had been hiding something up her sleeve but they didn’t think that it would be something so powerful.

So many experts arrived and they were still unable to capture Tang Xi.

The woman had obviously done something and managed to completely erase her presence.

But what did she do?

Was that really Tang Yue?

Did Tang Xi actually manage to kill or at least mortally wound Tang Yue?

The goblins had no idea about what exactly Tang Xi did but both of them recognized Xander and Xavier.

How could Tang Xi’s attack succeed in the presence of these two monsters?

There was no way that she was going to come on top in this exchange.

The chances of Tang Xi’s success were extremely bleak. They had no doubt about it.

And…

Unfortunately for Tang Xi, they in fact turned out to be correct.

The mental attack unleashed by Tang Xi did land on the oblivious young dwarven girl, but once it landed, it bounced off of her as if it was merely a puff of dust.
