Chapter 157: Don't Panic, Beauty
The sandstorm was a little weak at this moment.
Nanasheng was at the edge of the Forbidden Area, facing the sand sea region.
Suddenly.
Her brows furrowed, and she looked up.
Not far away, a young man who looked rather sloppy and not very old slowly walked over.
The moment their eyes met.
A glint of light flashed in Nanasheng's eyes.
Then she frowned and murmured, "An Undead Mage... but only level 47..."
It didn't seem to be the person she was looking for.
His level was too low. Although he came out of the Forbidden Area, perhaps other Undead Mages had entered the area already explored by the Mysterious Necromancer out of curiosity.
But immediately.
She was startled again.
On the level rankings, there was still no sign of that Undead Mage!
His level was below 52!
This level 47 Undead Mage in front of her wasn't far from level 52!
Moreover.
Although this path ahead had been explored, the monsters in the Forbidden Area would not stop spawning.
For a level 47 Undead Mage to enter it, and alone at that, was simply courting death!
Thinking of this.
Nanasheng immediately became alert, stood up, looked at Lu Ran, and hesitated whether to kill him just in case.
But at this moment.
Lu Ran suddenly stopped not far away, looking at Nanasheng.
Her face wasn't very clear, only a pair of bright, watery eyes could be seen. Her body was covered by a cloak, so her figure couldn't be made out, but it was clear she was female.
Lu Ran casually called out, "Are you Nanasheng?"
His unhurried and relaxed demeanor made Nanasheng's body tense up.
She looked at Lu Ran and asked, "Who are you?"
Lu Ran chuckled.
He spread his hands and slowly said, "My name is Lu Ran, an Undead Mage. Haven't you been looking for me? It's good that you could arrive here so quickly; you haven't disappointed me. Now, let me see what you're capable of."
Lu Ran wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
Striking first is for killing people!
And Nanasheng was of great use!
Before coming, Liu Xinxin had already told Lu Ran.
Nanasheng was the Sakura First Onmyoji and also the head of the Chi Nai Grand Shrine, the first guild.
She also had intricate connections with the other top three guilds, Inari Grand Shrine, and various major shrines.
And she was also the Miko of Shintoism.
If used well, through Nanasheng, he could control all of Little Japan!
As for how to control her, Liu Xinxin had also clearly stated.
Directly controlling Nanasheng was almost impossible.
She was a proud woman; promises of benefits were useless. Instead, military suppression could fundamentally destroy her confidence!
At the same time.
The biggest point was that she had a reverse contract with Yamata no Orochi!
And Yamata no Orochi could directly control Nanasheng from both soul and body!
Forced control!
Therefore, Lu Ran only needed to control Yamata no Orochi.
This was very simple.
As a dark-type Shikigami, Lu Ran could control Yamata no Orochi with a single glance.
But he didn't plan to do that.
Such easy control would have a big impact on Nanasheng, but it wouldn't prove Lu Ran's true abilities.
He wanted to fundamentally destroy the confidence of this proud Little Japan woman!
Therefore.
Lu Ran's primary goal was to kill Yamata no Orochi!
Of course.
These thoughts took a long time to explain, but in Lu Ran's mind, they flashed by in an instant.
When Nanasheng heard Lu Ran's words, her hair stood on end instantly!
Whoosh~
Two figures instantly appeared on Nanasheng's left and right sides.
Then they rushed towards Lu Ran without hesitation!
They were Nanasheng's two Shikigami.
Kinnara and Tamamo-no-Mae.
Their purpose was, of course, to restrain Lu Ran immediately, preventing him from easily using the Elf Wings' Elf Grand Assembly ability.
At the same time, it was also to prevent Lu Ran from escaping!
After all, Lu Ran could fly!
Of course.
If the two Shikigami could kill Lu Ran with one burst, that would be ideal.
After all, these two Shikigami would absolutely instantly kill an ordinary level 47 Undead Mage!
And she herself immediately communicated with Yamata no Orochi!
Nanasheng had rehearsed this entire process countless times in her mind.
So, it flowed smoothly, without any trace of panic.
On the contrary, Lu Ran was even more relaxed.
He was practically standing with his hands in his pockets.
As for those two Shikigami, Lu Ran didn't bother with them, just watched quietly.
He wanted to destroy this proud woman's confidence in all aspects: defense, attack, speed, and so on!
Thump thump thump~
Kinnara's Heavenly Thunder Drum emitted waves of ripples, covering Lu Ran's body.
Lu Ran immediately felt as if his body was sinking into a swamp, his feet seemingly fixed to the ground by cement, unable to move.
He glanced at his status bar.
It was indeed a control skill from a Shikigami.
"This thing seems much more fun than a Summoner, and it's beautiful too. It truly lives up to Little Japan's unique profession," Lu Ran muttered, curling his lips.
Next.
After controlling Lu Ran, the two Shikigami launched an indiscriminate barrage of attacks on Lu Ran, unleashing various damage skills as if they cost nothing.
Although Lu Ran didn't lose health, it hurt a lot!
Fortunately, Lu Ran had been tempered in the Dwarf Underground Cave's mechanism tunnel before, so this pain was nothing.
Nanasheng, on the other hand, looked a bit bewildered.
What on earth was this Lu Ran doing?
Why was there no reaction at all?
The Shikigami space behind her had already torn open, and Yamata no Orochi was on the move!
Then.
Nanasheng suddenly realized something was wrong!
This Lu Ran wasn't losing health!
A level 47 Undead Mage, without using any protective skills or equipment, simply stood there taking hits passively.
He didn't cast spells, made no movements, didn't even pull out a weapon.
He had no intention of escaping, nor did he use Elf Wings.
He just stood in place, seemingly disdainfully looking at Nanasheng, enduring the two Shikigami's suppressive fire, yet his health remained completely still!
This was insane!
"This guy never even thought about escaping! And... he didn't even think about using the Elf Grand Assembly from Elf Wings. Damn it, how arrogant!" Nanasheng's anger flared up instantly.
She had imagined the battle scene countless times after meeting him.
She had even practiced how to interrupt his actions of mobilizing the Elf army.
How to break through his summons.
How to control him.
How to kill him fastest, and so on.
But now.
Everything she had originally envisioned had collapsed!
His health remained utterly still, no matter how her two Shikigami attacked!
"Don't panic, take your time. Bring out whatever you have. I'm not running, and I won't call on the Elves for assistance either," Lu Ran said to Nanasheng.
It was easy to guess Nanasheng's thoughts.
Such a skilled and swift sequence of actions was naturally meant to prevent Lu Ran from summoning the Elf army.
So, he told Nanasheng in advance to put her mind at ease.
But in fact.
Upon hearing Lu Ran's words, Nanasheng's heart inexplicably began to panic!
To what extent must a person be confident to face the Sakura First Onmyoji so casually, even with a hint of mockery!
