"I'll handle this." I said to Wang Rong and Iris before stepping forward. Both of them just gave a nod to show their agreement and even took a step back as if they were yielding this to me. As for what they were yielding, it was a group of Abyss Demons. After taking care of Jin Long's group, I went looking for more Abyss Demons since that was the reason that we were in the Abyss in the first place. With the skeletal rats that I controlled, I easily found them. Now, there was something that I wanted to test on these Abyss Demons. Wang Rong and Iris were aware of this as well, which was why they yielded this group Abyss Demons to me that easily. They were waiting to see the power that I was about to demonstrate. After moving into position, I suddenly raised my hand and gave a wave. When that happened, the Abyss Demons that were below us suddenly stopped moving. The way that they stopped moving and just stood there in a daze, it was almost as if they were suddenly seeing something that wasn't there. Then all of a sudden, they started roaring at each other. "Who are you?" "What did you do with my comrades?" Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Answer or die!" All of them shouted at each other, but they also revealed confused looks since they could hear the questions that they were asking. All of them felt that it was strange that these questions were being asked. It seemed that they were slowly calming down from the shock that they had suffered and were slowly thinking things through. It was just that it wasn't as if I would allow them to take this time to gather themselves. "You! What do you think you're doing!" One of the Abyss Demons suddenly shouted before swinging its claws out in front of it. With the way that it swung its claws, it was as if it was defending against something. There was another Abyss Demon that was right in the path of the claws and was hit by those claws. Of course, it was an attack that was made in haste, so it wasn't as if it had that much power behind it and couldn't actually hurt the second Abyss Demon. But when that second Abyss Demon felt the claws hitting it, it naturally felt threatened and shouted, "You! How dare you sneak attack me!" Then after that, it started swinging its claws out as well. It was just that the second Abyss Demon didn't actually swing its claws out at the one that attacked it initially. Instead, it actually swung its claws out in several different directions as if it was trying to attack an enemy that only it could see. However, there were Abyss Demons that were standing in those directions. That meant that these attacks actually hit even more Abyss Demons and dragged them into this mess as well. It didn't take long for the Abyss Demons to start swinging their claws out at each other. Though if one looked at it closely, they would see that the Abyss Demons weren't actually swinging their claws at each other. It was that they were swinging at things that weren't there, only there were other Abyss Demons that were in the path of their claws. It was because they were in the path that they were hit in the end. The Abyss Demons seemed to become even more and more agitated as time passed. The looks on their faces seemed like they were getting more frustrated. "How do you keep dodging? Get back here!" That was the gist of what the Abyss Demons said as they kept swinging their claws at each other. It really seemed like they were swinging at enemies that didn't exist. It was as if they were all suffering from some kind of mass delusion. That was because they were. After a while, it seemed like they were running out of steam and it seemed like they were planning to run. From what I've seen previously, I knew that one the Abyss Demons were pushed to a certain extent, they would forget about fighting or their comrades. Once they were backed into a corner, the only thing that would be on their minds was trying to figure out how to escape with their lives. In the end, the only thing that really mattered to them was their own lives. "It seems that this is the only flaw to this ability. It can't really force them to do something that they don't want to do. If they value their lives more than anything, then it no longer has an effect." I muttered to myself before nodding to the Echo Bat on my shoulder. The Echo Bat just opened its mouth and sent more Abyss Demons in. However, these Abyss Demons were different since they were Abyss Demons controlled by me. These Abyss Demons moved in and quickly took care of the Abyss Demons that were trapped in the illusions. They just couldn't react to these attacks that they couldn't see, so it didn't take long for the Abyss Demons to be cleaned up. Once the Abyss Demons were finished off, I had the Abyss Demons under my control bring them over so I could grab the loot from them. Leaving the Scavenger Rabbit to take care of this, I fell into a state of deep thought before suddenly saying with a nod, "It's not bad, it has its uses and its flaws. This ability will work fine." As for what the ability I was talking about was, it was an illusion ability that I had gotten from digging through Jin Long's corpse. The skill was called Illusory Mist, which allowed me to create a mist that would show illusions using light reflections. It was a skill that was similar to what Jin Long had, it was just that it used mist instead of moth scales. This had to be an adjustment since it wasn't as if I could produce moth scales. But it also seemed like it was a downgraded version from what Jin Long could do. I had seen that the mist was quite easy to scatter and if it wasn't for my control of the mist, the Abyss Demons might have broken out of the illusion quite a few times. Still, I was satisfied with this. It gave me options for the future.
