At this moment, the member under Flanders’s palm had an extremely terrified expression on his face.

He seemed to be muttering to himself repeatedly, “Don’t come over, don’t come over…”

At this moment, Flanders’s Fear skill was more effective compared to when he was at level 1.

The current him could use the Fear skill for a full 30 seconds.

To immerse a person in a Fear illusion for 30 seconds, how terrifying was that?

One had to know that if the opponent did not have any means to break the illusion, he was completely at Flander’s mercy for 30 seconds.

However, as the buzz-cut man was the leader of this mission, he naturally had his own means.

“Wake up!”

After the buzz-cut man shouted angrily, the member trembled, and his eyes that were out of focus gradually recovered.

He could feel a straw palm pressing on his head.

However, he was completely unable to move.

It was not that Flanders had used some skill to restrain him.

It was that his body was still immersed in the Fear illusion.

His legs were completely weak and he could not even get up.

However, just as he was worried about ending up like Suo and losing his life on the spot…

Flanders removed his palm that was pressing on his head. He looked at the buzz-cut man with a surprised expression. He clapped his hands in praise and said, “I didn’t expect you’d have such a trick.

“Wonderful!”

This kind of praise from the opponent did not make the buzz-cut man feel any joy.

On the contrary, the buzz-cut man’s expression became even more solemn.

The scarecrow was still in the mood for praise in such a situation.

This completely revealed that the scarecrow was still very much at ease.

The strange scarecrow in front of him did not treat this as a battle at all.

In the eyes of the scarecrow, this was all probably just a game or a performance.

This forest had completely become his stage.

A stage for him to perform his slaughtering of the Mage team.

It was also a stage for the Mage team to perform their acts of despair.

No matter how hard he tried, he was just a marionette on this stage.

He was never able to escape from the hands of this scarecrow with the greatest malice.

Looking at the team member kneeling on the ground in front of him, he could not stop crying.

The buzz-cut man knew very well that he was hopeless.

On the battlefield, one could lose the ability to resist. This did not necessarily mean death.

However, if one lost the ability to retreat, one would only become a fish on the chopping block.

At the mercy of others!

The buzz-cut man looked at the two corpses on the ground coldly.

One pierced through the chest, his face full of shock.

The other burned to death, his face full of unwillingness.

Additionally, there was a member who was no different from a corpse.

It could be considered that they had lost three people in the line of duty.

The buzz-cut man stared at Flanders, slowly getting into position. At the same time, he looked at Lucius and said, “Listen, I’m only going to say this once. You need to retreat immediately.

“Not only are you of no help, but you might even become a burden to me.

“I don’t want to hear any of your thoughts. This is an order.”

The buzz-cut man’s voice was filled with unquestionable certainty.

Lucius naturally understood.

He would indeed become a burden.

He was not very good at fighting. He was more inclined towards scouting and detecting.

He had already lost an arm.

If he continued to stay here, it would only distract his leader.
