Chapter 268: Danger
Chapter 268: Danger
The luxury yacht docked at a pier called Big Island, and Elijah and his team did not disembark immediately. Elijah had an instinctive sense that there was some danger on the island.
"There are definitely capable individuals on the island. Abigail and I will scout ahead; you all stay on the boat!" Elijah instructed Charlotte.
Among everyone on the boat, including the zombies, only he and Abigail had superhuman defenses.
Although Charlotte had exceptional combat skills and could sense and analyze opponents with her spiritual vision, it was not suitable for her to act recklessly in an unfamiliar environment, especially with the potential for ambushes.
Sophia, Kylie, and Elena were also to remain on the boat. Though Elena could cover her body with a layer of ice for good defense, she was more suited to the water, where she could maximize her strengths and protect Sophia and the others.
Only Daisy was reluctant. Her third-tier invisibility allowed her to enter the shadow space. As long as she stayed hidden, even if sensed, she would be difficult to harm.
"Elijah, I'm going too. Don't worry; I won't exit my invisibility unless it's crucial!" Daisy volunteered.
Elijah hesitated but ultimately agreed upon seeing Daisy's determined expression.
If it weren't for something on the island continually drawing him, Elijah wouldn't have needed to land on it.
However, his confidence in his own abilities made him feel there was nothing to fear.
After discussing, Elijah and Abigail, accompanied by several third-tier zombies, disembarked from the yacht and set foot on the island, moving slowly toward the location that gave him a faint sense of threat and continuously beckoned him.
As for Daisy, she had entered invisibility early.
Not far into their walk, Elijah and his group saw several exotic buildings, and the object of Elijah's attraction was inside. Just as they were about to enter, a familiar pressure emanated from within.
"Mind stun!"
And it was at least third-tier!
The zombies following Elijah immediately showed fear, standing still and trembling, unwilling to move but still under Elijah's control.
Elijah and Abigail, however, showed no reaction.
Even facing a third-tier pressure, Elijah could endure it, let alone a mere third-tier attack! Abigail, being fourth-tier, was also immune to a third-tier Mind stun.
However, they still stopped in their tracks.
At that moment, a dream-like figure darted out like lightning, wielding a sword that gleamed with silver light, striking directly at Elijah. The blade flashed, swift as lightning!
The swordsman believed that no one could dodge this strike!
This confidence was forged from countless battles against bizarre zombies and capable individuals over the past few months.
Especially since the people before him were also under Lord Isaac's "Dragon Might" suppression!
The situation seemed to be developing in the direction he had anticipated. The person he had struck appeared dazed and unresponsive. But the next moment, the opponent extended two fingers and gently pinched his sword!
His full-force strike!
"Ding!"
The sound of blade meeting blade rang out!
It felt as though he had struck a solid iron plate. Then, with a gentle twist of the opponent's fingers, a crisp "crack" echoed, and the sword he had relied on in countless battles snapped cleanly in two.
"What?"
The swordsman was stunned.
Not only had his sword been easily caught, but it was also effortlessly broken?
His face was filled with disbelief and horror. But in the next moment, he quickly realized!
This was a master!
Not someone he could provoke!
Retreat!
His body instantaneously became intangible, like a phantom, and he rapidly withdrew. This was a technique he had developed after awakening his speed ability and combining it with the family's traditional ninjutsu, known as the Phantom Mirage Step.
In the past, whenever faced with danger, he could always retreat safely using this technique. It was also this technique that kept him undefeated whether facing zombies or other ability users.
However, as he rapidly retreated, the fear on his face did not diminish but rather increased. The distance between him and his opponent did not grow; instead, it seemed to decrease.
Then he saw a large hand reaching towards his head.
With a resounding "bang!"
The flickering, shifting figure fell to its knees, creating two deep pits in the ground, with his knees deeply embedded in the earth.
His head had also sunk into his neck, his face still showing terror, but with blood seeping from his features, his eyes devoid of life, dead beyond measure!
"Damn it, still jumping around! Want to try jumping again?"
Elijah spat, irritated by how the guy had almost slipped away from him. After dealing with this, he turned towards the direction where the mental intimidation had come from; there was still someone there!
The person inside seemed shocked by Elijah's methods or realized that the Mind Stun had no effect on him. The oppressive pressure receded like a tidal wave!
Then, a greenish cold light shot out directly towards Elijah's face.
As the greenish cold light approached, Elijah felt a piercing cold enveloping his skin, the sharpness of the light cutting through his skin.
"Danger!"
Elijah was horrified!
What could possibly break through his fourth-tier defense?
Without a moment's thought, his body instinctively recoiled, avoiding the greenish cold light's attack. He then switched to Telekinesis, mentally entwining the threat.
Since defense was ineffective, he might as well focus on attacking!
More importantly, he needed to control the source of this danger!
As Elijah's mental energy entangled with the greenish cold light, he immediately sensed another force controlling it.
Elijah realized at once that this was the opponent's mental power!
The enemy was also a Telekinesis user!
And at the same tier!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two Telekinesis forces clashed around the greenish cold light, emitting constant collision sounds!
The greenish cold light wavered in the air, floating up and down as it struggled.
Soon, Elijah's Telekinesis gained the upper hand, driving most of the opposing force away!
After all, even though Elijah's fixed Fiona Telekinesis was only tier three, his mental strength and total mental energy were at tier four!
In cases where ability levels were the same, he could completely crush his opponent with quantity and quality!
At that moment, as if realizing that Elijah had gained the upper hand, the previously paused Mind Stun adjusted and launched another attack on Elijah.
This time, the intimidation was not widespread but targeted directly at Elijah, much like how Kylie targeted Elena before.
The goal was obvious: to make Elijah ease his focus on the greenish cold light under the pressure of the Mind Stun and even take the opportunity to strike him during his moment of distraction.
But the next moment, a scream rang out.
The mental intimidation aimed at Elijah dissipated like autumn leaves scattering in the wind!
Elijah immediately understood!
Daisy had made her move!
