Chapter 999: Know yourself and know your enemy

“Do you have a significant advantage?”

Noland Lee used “Mind View” to locate the Shadow Deathers who were secretly observing him.

He heard a part of their conversation and used Deconstruction to obtain their panel and memory fragments.

The Shadow Deathers, situated in the Dark Zone, also mastered detection spells adapted to the environment.

If Noland Lee didn’t have Mental Magic at his disposal, he estimated it would have been very difficult to locate them.

In that sense, the Shadow Deathers’ claim “We have a significant advantage” was indeed accurate.

But what they could never have anticipated was that Noland Lee had already figured them out.

The language used by the Shadow Deathers was the common language within their domain, not the Ulnas Ring Common Language.

The Deconstruction Results included Level 5 “Shadow Death Watchers’ Linguistics,” so there was no language barrier.

The six Shadow Deathers covertly watching Noland Lee revealed their disguises.

Their strength did not exceed that of a Four-circled.

Noland Lee’s “Mind View” was perfect and did not alert them.

After obtaining the Deconstruction Results, Noland Lee closed “Mind View” and settled down to consider a counterstrategy.

An excellent plan to “lure the snake out of its hole” emerged in Noland Lee’s mind.

Weren’t those six Shadow Deathers about to call for reinforcement to deal with him?

Fine then.

Let them call.

The more, the better.

He could use this opportunity to lure out the Shadow Deathers from the City of Exiles in batches, defeating them one by one, successively mastering the Deconstruction Results.

As long as he had enough Deconstruction samples, Noland Lee could gain a clear picture of the situation inside the City of Exiles without even having to enter it.

“I need to gauge precisely how to entice the enemy to take the bait. I can’t make the Shadow Deathers too afraid to fight and flee, nor can I let them think they can easily take me down by calling in just a few reinforcements. I need to create an illusion that ‘just a few more reinforcements, and they can definitely beat the Thunder Wizard’…”

Noland Lee chuckled silently and called for Nolin in his heart.

After a brief exchange with his little assistant, they came up with a plan to trick batches of Shadow Deathers into a trap.

“…Let’s stick to the plan we discussed, Nolin. Let’s start executing it now.”

“Yes, sir.”

Five Mechanos enchanted with “Mental Illusion” flew towards directions away from the Temporary Base.

These five Mechanos headed in five different directions, each on their own, with no companions nearby.

With “Mental Illusion” in effect, the Mechanos would appear to the Shadow Deathers as “Thunder Wizards with unknown origins.”

Only when the Shadow Deathers got close enough, or if they attacked, would the Mechanos be compelled to reveal their true forms.

Up until that point, the Mechanos’ Disguise was seamless.
