Christopher was indeed shocked the moment he saw the Ghost Hands appearing in front of his top-class illusion.
If he was the one in that position, he knew that he would also fail to react in time and get caught by those Ghost Hands as well.
Luckily, he already reached the Intermediate Realm of the Misdirection Spell. This allows him to fool anyone in Magic Zone without targeting them specifically.
That's right, the Misdirection Spell was extremely difficult to detect since this Spell would not target a person but the whole field instead. It could even create a realistic illusion that those Ghost Hands could touch.
As soon as he showed himself, he already used his Confusion and Mental Manipulation to forcefully cancel the Ghost Hands Spell of the young man.
Poof…
It was a successful attack, and it had surely disrupted the young man's energy flow and created a backlash or internal injuries.
'Since you don't have any Mystical Item to defend against my mind attack, this will be over…' Christopher silently thought as he already confirmed what kind of Mystical Items these two possess.
They were obviously unprepared to fight against a Mind Controller like him, so he felt confident appearing in person.
As expected, the young man stumbled as soon as his Confusion and Mental Manipulation reached him.
With this, everything will be over and he would gain new slaves to continue with his work.
"Alright… Stop struggling. You're just wasting my time." Christopher said with chuckle before he ordered the female practitioner to stop resisting.
Although he didn't see any changes, he knew that the lady's mind defense was already crumbling. He knew he just needed a few more suggestions, and she would become his.
On the other hand, he looked at the young man weirdly as he realized that his Confusion and Mental Manipulation didn't seem to have a long-lasting effect.
This troubled Christopher a lot since his most aggressive Mind Attacks were on cooldown!
'Tsk… I can't use those spells again for a minute… I don't want to use it this early but I have to take the chance before he recovers.' Christopher silently thought as he couldn't believe the mind attack resistance of this young man.
If he wasn't mistaken, the level of his defense had already reached the First Class Practitioners!
He couldn't understand how he did it, but he had no time to think about it.
This is his only chance to incapacitate him!
'Sleep Inducement!'
Christopher finally used his last hope. This Spell had already reached the late stage of the Elementary Realm so it could put asleep even a wild lion. Of course, this would work really well against humans or arcane arts practitioners too.
However, Christopher was still a bit worried.
The young man in front of him has an extraordinary physique that he had even mistaken him as a Knight.
He was initially planning to make him utterly immobile before using the Sleep Inducement Spell. Unfortunately, he had to change his plan and hoped that this would be enough to deal with this strange man.
Thud!
As soon as the young man kneeled on the ground, Christopher felt elated as he used his Mind Control Spell! This is obviously different from the Mental Manipulation Spell, which can only be used in making suggestions to the target.
Nevertheless, a drowsy man was the easiest target for him! With his various Mind Attacks, there was no way this young man would still win against him!
'You're mine!' Christopher celebrated in his mind. He even weakened his control over the female practitioner just to ensure that he had enough energy to control the young man.
As he thought that he had finally succeeded, he noticed something weird in his surroundings. It feels as if his Spell was suddenly isolated and couldn't leave his body!
'What's going on?'
Cough! Cough! Cough!
He suddenly heard the young man cough violently as if to scatter the Sleep Inducement Spell gathering over his location.
"That was dangerous!" Vale heaved a sigh of relief as soon as he noticed that he had succeeded.
Apparently, he was in trouble just now after failing to disperse the Confusion and Mental Manipulation! He miscalculated and thought that his Spell Dispersion would work against it.
Unfortunately, for some reason, his Spell Dispersion suddenly had a lower success rate, or perhaps, his accuracy became zero as he somehow missed the Spells! He failed to Disperse them, and this would rarely happen unless that caster was several times stronger than him and their Spell Activation was faster than his.
It was too weird!
Nevertheless, he had no time to think why his Spell Dispersion missed its target, so he could only change his tactic.
Instead of dispersing the Spell, he targeted the Psychic himself and used his Spell Dispersion!
This was a lot easier since this person was stupidly standing in the same place! This rarely happens as most of his opponents would constantly move, making it difficult to target them with various spells.
It was a perfect plan for him since his Spell Dispersion targets an area instead of a person.
After confirming that he had succeeded, he immediately used his other spells.
Shadow Soldier!
A dark, blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of him… It looks quite weak, but this was not a problem for Vale.
·ƈθm Shadow Mutilation!
Vale used his Planar Spell without any hesitation!
The person in front of him was too weird, and he shouldn't live for too long! Although it was a pity that he couldn't extract him while he was still alive, it was better to end his life quickly since he might do something weird again.
Being unable to control his body for a few moments was a terrifying experience for Vale.
He was lucky that this Psychic wasn't too athletic.
If he was the one in his position, once he realized that his opponent was struggling to move because of his mind attacks, he would use physical attacks to end the life of his target.
Christopher then used another strange Mind Spell to attack the Shadow Soldier, but this attack only managed to cut off the Soldier's right arm and left leg as it stumbled beneath the man's feet.
The Shadow Soldier was still alive, and as soon as Christopher thought it could no longer fight, he suddenly felt excruciating pain in his chest before his eyes dimmed, and his body dropped to the ground, lifeless.
