Chapter 423 - Meng Chao’s Fear Bomb (1/2)

This was a chain reaction created by him changing the future.

The storm stirred up by the butterfly effect had resulted in both the good and the bad.

At the same time he prevented the complete wipeout of the transmigration specialists team, he increased the chances of his sister being exposed. It might even result in the Dark Witch being born ahead of time.

But Meng Chao was not at all saddened because of this result.

Fighting spirit burned hotly in him.

In just a short year and a half, he had reached Heaven Realm and was unprecedentedly confident in himself.

He believed that if the monster civilization or other enemies lurking in the dark dared to hurt his family, he would definitely catch them and cut off the claws of evil before cutting those creatures into pieces and reducing them to ashes!

Of course, right now, he already knew that Bai Jiacao’s corruption and transformation into the Dark Witch was not due to her own intentions, but because the forces behind the X-shaped eye were causing trouble.

Even if she was really unlucky and turned into the Dark Witch, he would still spend 120% of his patience to properly educate her, influence her, and use the truth to convince her so that she would return to the side of humans.

After all, she was his sister.

Who said that the Dark Witch could not contribute to human civilization, anyway?

With that thought in mind, Meng Chao was eager to do something.

The notifications given by Kindling also burned brightly before his eyes.

[The Fire Relayer risked his life and won against an enemy stronger than himself. He won against Supernatural Entities Earthquake and Demonic Abyss Eye one after another. Your deeds have motivated many Dragon Citizens. Countless citizens have gained the determination to keep getting stronger, and the overall fighting strength and fighting potential of Dragon City has increased. Increased contribution points by 9,999. Obtained special skill: Fear Bomb.]

[Fear Bomb: A normal skill of mind-attack-type monsters. You can use the fluctuations of your brain waves to affect your target’s brain so that your target’s visual system will produce all sorts of hideous and terrifying illusions. It will cause the target to sink into great fear, and the target’s mental strength index might even drop to 0.]

[The normal Fear Bomb produces terrifying illusions out of the blue, and it can be easily seen through by those with resolute hearts. They will not be affected and will even launch counterattacks to hurt you. The Fear Bomb from the Demonic Abyss Eye can activate and magnify the fears that have always been lurking in the target’s mind. Those illusions will be even more fatal and unexpected.]

Meng Chao blinked rapidly.

The notifications turned into faint golden light that slowly flowed into his brain’s blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians. They formed a brand new, profound, and complicated spirit energy magnetic field.

When he activated this spirit energy magnetic field, his spirit energy shot out through his forehead and eyes. It could land on a spot more than ten meters away.

Meng Chao’s mind raced, and he instantly understood what this was.

‘At the final moment, the Demonic Abyss Eye wanted to use this skill to die with me.

‘It didn’t know that my soul had been refined by the apocalypse, so my will is as tough as nails. It wouldn’t be shaken by a Supernatural Entity who is not fully developed yet.

‘That’s why it didn’t manage to drag me to the grave with it, but instead, it handed a lot of its memories and mind attacks to me. In the end, it didn’t succeed with its plot and ended up losing.’

The Fear Bomb was a very common mind attack. Illusion Wolves, Brain-rotting Insects, Demonic Air-ripping Eye, and many monsters knew it.

Plenty of superhumans who were skilled in meditation and specialized in mental power also treated the Fear Bomb as a beginner’s skill.

When normal Demonic Air-ripping Eyes used this attack, they could produce terrifying images out of the blue in a human brain, such as a fierce monster suddenly showing up.

They were, of course, frightening, but they did not make any sense.

Once a person managed to get over the jump scare that caught them off guard, all they needed to do was to think carefully and would realize that it was just an illusion.

If they did not panic when they saw something strange, it would stop being horrifying.

But the Demonic Abyss Eye’s Fear Bomb was an upgraded version.

It would not forcefully create scary illusions.

Instead, it would activate and magnify the fears that existed in the human heart. It would infinitely magnify the things the target feared the most.

This way, it would attack the target in a way that that the target’s mental strength index would instantly fall to zero.

This was a different method compared to the magnifying of the darkness in a soul and making a person become extreme and obsessed with an idea, but it worked based on a similar principle.

This was the first time Meng Chao was in control of a real mind attack.

The Skillfulness of the Fear Bomb in his skill list was Specialist Level: 53%.

The moment he obtained it, he was already very skilled with it, which was all due to the Demonic Abyss Eye.

But it was not easy for him to further his Skillfulness with it.

Even after throwing thousands of contribution points into it, he only managed to increase his Skillfulness by 10%.

A sharp pain also appeared in the depths of his mind. It was as if there were thorns growing madly in him, and they wanted to gush out of his orifices.

Hiss!

“Looks like mind attacks are different from physical attacks. I can’t rely purely on contribution points to upgrade them; otherwise, before my enemies’ mental strength index drops to zero, my own brain would explode.
