Touching the city lord's wife's majestic and charming "conscience", Beta's heart did not waver at all. After knowing that these things were just illusions, he completely treated them as data processing. He conjured a "real" Emperor Fall Sword in the illusion and stabbed it directly into the city lord's wife's heart.
Bright red blood flowed out of her chest, and the city lord's wife's face was filled with shock. She only had time to say, "You're so cruel." Then, she turned into a pink smoke and disappeared. Afterward, the women around the hot spring rushed over one by one. They were all naked and extremely beautiful, but Beta ignored them and slashed down again and again, cutting them all into red dust.
The reason why illusions were so scary was that most people could not see through them. Even if they could, they would not be able to do anything to their close friends and family. As a result, they would be trapped by the illusions and could not leave at all.
As for those who could not be affected by illusions, most of them had extremely exaggerated willpower. These people were usually priests or people with special professions related to priests, and their levels were not low either. After all, the ability of illusions was also related to the level of the other party. Although the Willpower attribute of a Warrior-type Legendary professional was not high, its level and strength were still there. If it was not a Legendary-level professional or a Quasi-Legendary Mental Mage of the same level, it would be impossible to pull a Legendary-level Warrior into an illusion.
Beta was now a Master-level powerhouse, and his Willpower attribute was as high as 10.5. To be able to pull him into an illusion, one had to be at least near the Legendary-level, and also had to have very strong attainments in mental illusions.
Beta did not think that the man and woman just now had such strength. If they had such strength, they would have long discovered him and Shirley who were hiding outside.
Since it wasn't their ability, then they had to have someone else lying in ambush, or they had a Legendary-level Mental Illusion Scroll.
The possibility of the former was not high. There were not many legendary powerhouses in the entire world. The elves had a few because of their extremely long lifespan. There were also a few in the dwarfs. There were also many in the Demon Realm. However, in the human world, apart from the half-elf legendary lancer, Grinton, he didn't know if there were any other legendary professions.
Even the Pope of the Brilliance Shrine, who was over 80 years old, was only about to step into the Legendary-realm.
Given that Legendary champions were so rare in the human world, Beta did not think that there would be any Legendary champions staying in the Temple of Love in this remote city. In that case, there was only one possibility. The other party had a Legendary Magic Scroll.
Generally speaking, in order to create Legendary-level magic scrolls, one had to have the strength of a Legendary-level. However, in the game, there was a hidden profession called Scroll Engraver, which allowed one to create magic scrolls that exceeded one's strength. There were also similar professions like Swordsmiths.
However, even a scroll engraver would need some luck to create a Legendary magic scroll.
After figuring this out, Beta felt relieved.
The illusory figures that he had killed all turned into pink dust, which then mixed together in the air. After a few seconds of twisting, a petite figure was formed. She had brown hair, a goddess-like beauty, and a … flat figure.
It was Emma.
Beta didn't expect that he would "see" her again in the illusion.
This Emma was wearing a purple, transparent, off-the-shoulder muslin dress, which was exactly the same as what the female bishop had worn just now. However, hers was obviously a smaller size. After all, this "illusion" Emma was still the same as when Beta saw her a year ago, when she was 14 years old.
The young girl's body was faintly discernible in the purple muslin dress, which was very tempting.
Beta held his longsword and walked toward Emma expressionlessly.
But at that moment, 'Emma' floated a few steps back. She had a seductive smile on her face as she said, "You're really heartless. You're even willing to lay your hands on the woman you love the most?"
The woman he loved the most? Emma?
Beta chuckled and looked at her curiously. "Are you the main consciousness of this illusion?"
Every illusion had a main consciousness. To put it simply, it was the projection of the caster's soul, and it was the kind that could not be controlled. It had the caster's worldview and a lot of knowledge, as well as a relatively complete 'personality'. Although it was considered a type of intelligence, it was actually just a fake life.
"You can say that." 'Emma' covered her mouth and chuckled. Her pure face had an ambiguous and sweet aura, which was very seductive. "I can see from your consciousness that this image of mine is the woman you love the most. I didn't expect you to be such a cruel person that you could even kill the woman you love the most. This is the first time I've seen someone like this. "
"The fake life of an illusion only exists once. How could you have seen many people?" Beta smiled faintly. "Unless, your illusion magic is permanent, otherwise …"
'Emma' slowly floated into the air, smiling but not saying anything.
The reason why Beta chatted with this main consciousness was because he wanted to get more information out of it. But now it seemed that the other party was also very alert and did not want to say much.
Since that was the case, Beta could not be bothered to ask more. In an illusion, everyone's strength was related to their willpower, and their skills were related to their experience.
In other words, all the magic skills that Beta had seen before and that actually existed could be used in an illusion.
Beta made a few hand gestures and then chanted a few incantations. Faint, clear magic surrounded him, layer by layer, like a huge green flower surrounding him.
It was a forbidden-level spell, Sigh of the Forest Goddess.
Beta had seen this spell in the game, and he also knew the hand gestures and incantations. The most powerful thing about a forbidden-level spell was its terrifying area of effect. Generally speaking, a forbidden-level spell could destroy a medium-sized city, so using it to deal with an illusion was just right.
With Beta's current strength, it was impossible for him to cast a forbidden-level spell because he did not have enough strength. But this was an illusion. In other words, it was a different kind of dream. In a dream, it was possible to do anything.
Beta had already given her a lot of face by not dropping a hydrogen bomb in the illusion. After all, in the game, many players would directly use hydrogen bombs to destroy the illusion in order to leave it.
Seeing that Beta was using such a terrifying spell, the main consciousness of the illusion was shocked. She immediately mobilized her magic and instantly cast a purple magic shield around her.
This shield was different from ordinary magic shields. The magical waves it emitted were more solid, and there was an indescribable aura within it.
Seeing this, Beta immediately stopped the incantation. If it was in the real world, forcibly stopping the forbidden-level spell would definitely cause a backlash, and even if she did not die, she would be injured. But this was an illusion, and to put it bluntly, it was a different kind of dream. It was very easy to do such things.
Betta, who had stopped, seemed to be sizing him up with interest.
'Emma' was shocked, but she also heaved a sigh of relief. Then she smiled and said, "What, you still can't bear to kill the person you love the most in the end?"
"I know who you are."
Emma's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. "What do you mean by that?"
"At first, I thought that you were an illusion created by magic scrolls, and then I thought that you were a self-consciousness created by a permanent magic array, but now …" Beta said to the other party's surprise, "I know that you are a divine clone of the Goddess of Love, and it is very likely that you are a remnant of her consciousness."
'Emma's' face immediately became gloomy.
After a while, she smiled cheerfully. "What a smart man. No wonder another divine being has taken a fancy to you."
After saying that, the body of the main consciousness twisted in the purple light. Then, her body swelled as if she were inflated. Her flat body became plump and sexy, and her body was about the same size as Shirley's.
Most importantly, her face had changed. Emma was already a stunning beauty, but now she was even more enchanting. Her long purple hair draped behind her, and she was still wearing that purple muslin dress. The muslin dress that was originally suitable for Emma's body was now bulging out, and her chest and buttocks were perky enough to make one's heart itch.
Beta glanced at the woman who had revealed her true face. Very soon, he smiled and said, "This is the appearance of the Goddess of Love. As expected of the Goddess of Love's divine clone."
"When did you suspect my identity?" the woman asked, somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Just now." Beta said slowly, "Your magic shield carries the air of divinity. It's faint, but it can't fool me."
Beta had been through hundreds of battles in the game, and he was also a Legendary. Plus, he often met Woking and had negative distance contact with Shirley in the Nightmare Realm. He was very familiar with the aura of divinity, so he sensed it the moment the main consciousness cast magic.
"That's all?" The main consciousness of the illusion wrinkled her cute little nose, not quite convinced.
"There's another reason." Beta paused for a moment and then said, "Recently, someone wants Shirley, but it's her body, not her beauty! It's very strange. Generally speaking, when a normal man sees Shirley, it's mostly her beauty, not her body. So, I know that something is wrong. I saw you here just now, and you have the air of divinity on you. "
The woman was silent.
"You want to get Shirley's body and get out of this illusion, don't you?"
The woman didn't say anything.
Beta smiled and said, "You can just make my permanent magic tattoo, if you have a chance, I will let you have a divine body."
