NABC Chapter 92 This boy is terrifying!
Chapter 92 This boy is terrifying!
In a desolate limestone canyon.
Two figures moved forward, one small and one large, with a snow-white cat following closely beside them.
Emily led the way by going up and down in mid-air the whole way, like a butterfly fluttering among flowers.
Its thin, red and blue wings flapped rapidly, scattering strings of fine red and blue phosphorescent powder in the bright sunlight.
Phosphorus powder, which wasn't intentionally preserved for a long time, instantly turned into specks of light and dissipated upon landing on the dusty rocks, adding a touch of vibrant color to this desolate canyon.
"La la la~ Gray stone, bare, little sprout, burrowing and burrowing~"
Emily's clear, melodious voice echoed through the empty canyon, carrying a childlike, carefree joy.
The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere continued until they were only two miles away from Gray Rock Village.
Emily, who was humming a song, suddenly stopped, folded her wings, and hovered steadily in front of Luo Lan's face.
The head, adorned with a flower wreath, tilted to the side, its heterochromatic eyes darting around. Suddenly, it lowered its voice, as if about to reveal some incredible secret:
"By the way, sir, is this kitten that's been following you yours?"
Luo Lan habitually threw out the prepared explanation:
"Yes, it's my magical pet..."
Emily stared wide-eyed at Ah Mao for a moment, then pouted her rosy lips in confusion:
"Should I keep a skeleton kitten as a pet? What does it eat?"
The moment the crisp voice fell, Luo Lan abruptly stopped in her tracks, her right hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Ah Mao always maintains an optical camouflage disguise!
To others, it should be a white Ragdoll cat with soft fur and an elegant figure, not a skeleton kitten!
Emily, however, seemed oblivious to the change in atmosphere. After casually asking her question, she had already flapped her wings and flown a short distance ahead.
A moment later, seeing that Luo Lan hadn't followed, she turned around in mid-air, looking back in confusion:
"Uncle? I just have a question for you, why are you stunned?"
Luo Lan's numerous skills were now secretly gathering power. In order to divert the fairy's attention, Luo Lan steadied his voice and spoke:
"Can you tell it's a skeleton kitten?"
Emily tilted her head, her tone of doubt completely genuine, and spread her hands:
"What do you mean 'see'? Isn't it just a skeleton kitten? Bones emitting blue flames are still bones, what else is there to see? Uncle, you're talking strangely."
At this point, she suddenly slammed her fist in realization, her eyes fixed on Luo Lan's left hand encased in steel armor, and exclaimed:
"Oh! I know! Is it because your soul is all stuffed into your left hand, uncle? That's why your brain isn't working so well?"
Emily's words were like a fuse that had been lit.
The moment the words left his mouth, Luo Lan's right eye instantly transformed from a clear azure blue into a terrifying scarlet vertical pupil.
【Terrification lv.3】Activated.
An invisible mental attack was unleashed in a circular wave pattern.
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
A dazzling flash of light streaked past, and Emily's figure blurred instantly, bypassing the mental wave attack of [Terror].
In an instant, she appeared before Luo Lan.
Emily, far from being frightened or controlled, instead excitedly pointed at Roland's eyes and exclaimed like a child who had discovered a new toy:
"Wow! Uncle, your eyes can change color! One side is blue and the other is red, just like mine, they're different shades of red and blue! That's so cool!"
Luo Lan stared at the fairy so close to her, her eyes filled with genuine excitement and innocence.
He slowly released his right hand from the hilt of the sword, and the dangerous crimson in his right eye gradually faded, returning to its original blue.
He forced a relatively calm smile, trying to make his tone sound relaxed:
"Yes, my eyes can change color, but only for a short while... Isn't that fun? I stopped so you could see this. If you're done, keep going."
"Yeah! That's really fun! Uncle, your magic trick is really good!"
Emily nodded vigorously, completely unaware of the fleeting murderous intent that had just passed.
She happily turned around and continued flying forward, humming some nonsensical tunes again:
"The uncle's eyes turned red and blue, the kitten had no meat, its bones were on fire..."
Luo Lan followed at a leisurely pace, his eyes glowing with a faint blue light, constantly keeping [True Sight] active, staring at the cheerful figure in front of him for quite a while.
I carefully studied the effects of Emily's various skills and feats.
In the end, Luo Lan did not choose to continue taking action.
It wasn't just because of this little thing; its carefree demeanor just now didn't seem fake at all.
Furthermore, given Emily's exaggerated stats in [True Sight], even if it were a fight to the death, Luo Lan wouldn't have an absolute guarantee of victory.

[Equipment: Playful Garland, Frostmourne, Fire Delight]
[Status: World Tree Protection]
Looking at this collection of skills and expertise that could be described as "Phoenix Overlord's" specialties, Luo Lan couldn't help but sigh:
Why haven't the fairy race ruled the world yet?
Especially that special status [World Tree Blessing].
[World Tree Blessing: Within Akquad, after the physical body perishes, the soul returns to the World Tree and is reborn in the form of a "Memory Fruit".]
How do we fight this?
No wonder Emily is so carefree; if she could resurrect infinitely, Luo Lan would be even more adept at it than she is.
[Fairies, how terrifying!]
……
……
Then, on the last two miles back to the village, the atmosphere became slightly strange.
Through various subtle and indirect methods, Luo Lan finally managed to extract some useful information from Emily, the talkative fairy.
First and foremost, it can be confirmed that Emily cannot see through everything.
She wasn't, as Luo Lan had guessed, able to see right through his and Ah Mao's [optical camouflage] disguises.
Instead, Emily possesses the high-level rare feat of "Spirit Vision," which allows her to see other things in addition to physical vision.
Under the [Spiritual Vision], she can see the deeper spiritual essence of things.
For example, the core of Ah Mao's "Dead Remains Construct".
Another example is the strange phenomenon in Luo Lan's [condensed] body where the soul fire is completely gathered and anchored in his "left hand".
However, in terms of how she addresses him, she still calls Luo Lan "Uncle" repeatedly.
This means that when Emily saw Roland's appearance in the material world, it was still the weathered, middle-aged knight's appearance after the [Optical Camouflage] took effect.
Instead of the young man who resembled Luo Lan after Luo Lan "created" his own face, this one was different.
In contrast, Luo Lan's own [True Sight], although it can see through the material world and look directly into the spirit world, requires a huge amount of mental energy to maintain.
For example, in the underground palace's rift, Luo Lan once tried to use [True Vision] to observe his own [Death Seal Agreement] and [Sin Judgment Mark - Remnant] in the spirit world.
But it only lasted a few minutes before Luo Lan couldn't hold on any longer.
For Emily, her heterochromatic eyes seemed to allow her to maintain a constantly overlapping perspective between the material and spiritual realms.
That's why Emily could clearly see through Luo Lan and Ah Mao's spiritual essence, yet she still called Luo Lan "Uncle".
