Chapter 351: Chapter 274: Core Stolen

Light! Intense light, nearly engulfing Orell’s entire world!

Orell’s ability indeed required perception to confirm before activation, and his most frequently used and most practical perception... was vision.

This point, Orell finally realized the moment he entered the dim theater and stepped onto the stage!

Having not realized it beforehand, naturally, he could not have prepared a strategy in advance! And in fact, because he did not anticipate this, he also had one teammate who was just randomly chosen, and that teammate had carelessly died earlier.

Only now did he recognize, he completely wasted an important teammate position, how critical a complementary assistant was, he was actually very clear about that! Just, he hadn’t noticed it! If he had noticed it, then he wouldn’t be in the current predicament!

Orell simply assumed, took it for granted, that being able to see everything around him was normal, without ever contemplating as to why this was.

And it was precisely for this reason that he so easily stepped into this trap!

"... Damn it!"

But now, regret was useless, Xiao Yi and Fei Ye, who had been waiting and prepared, aimed at them, and activated the powerful light sources set up on the stage!

It takes time for the eyes to adjust to darkness, and similarly, it takes time to adjust to light.

Such a sudden blast of strong light, unquestionably, pained Orell’s eyes, making them difficult to open!

But with his eyes closed, he could see nothing, seeing nothing meant he could not use his ability, which meant waiting for death!

Thus, even though the piercing pain in his eyes was so intense, Orell still forced himself to open his eyes against the agony.

But...

"..."

In front of him, all was light; apart from the extreme, pure white light, he could see nothing else.

His teammate’s ability was still in effect, his reflexes were still beyond common sense, but... this time, what he faced was light.

The speed of light... is the fastest speed in the universe.

Even if Orell’s reflexes could surpass all limits, the moment the light appeared, his entire world was completely filled with blinding light, and aside from that, he could see nothing.

"..."

Seeing nothing, was he just going to wait for death?

No! Absolutely not!

Orell was not completely blind, he could still see light! Then, he must dispel this blinding light!

The sensation of fear of death... that extreme fear, compelled Orell to take action!

He nearly instinctively repelled the light from around him!

But...

"... Eh? I still can’t see!"

After repelling the light, Orell’s world shifted from an unseeable pure white to an unseeable pure black!

Nothing had changed!

Orell finally realized he had made a foolish move, but it was too late.

Even if his reaction speed was extremely fast, the actions he wanted to take were still at the speed of ordinary people!

From pure white to pure black, a whole second had passed!

And that second! Was enough to decide everything!

Orell understood... the outcome was determined!

"...!"

In a world where he could see nothing, Orell did not understand what had happened; he only felt a sense of falling, as if he had collapsed to the ground.

Afterward, his ability was lifted, and the light returned, resuming its normal brightness.

"Ah..."

Orell’s eyes looked around, seeing Xiao Yi and the others approaching him, and lying next to him, his teammate who had stopped breathing and was completely dead.

As for his own situation... Orell almost exerted all his strength to raise his head to check on his body’s condition, only to find that his lower half had completely vanished, and his hands were also gone.

Although he could still use his ability, it was meaningless by now, he was about to die, what good would struggling at death’s door do?

He, who could repel everything, had no means of self-rescue.

"I’m so tired..." Orell sighed.

"Unexpectedly..." Sheraya approached him and said, "I thought my attack was intensive enough, but it still missed something. However, there was no helping it, after all, I was striking blindly in a situation where I could see nothing."

Sheraya was within ten meters of Orell, otherwise, they couldn’t possibly have resolved Orell and his team in that mere second of time.

"..." Orell looked towards the approaching Fei Ye and Xiao Yi, and said, "Impressive, I didn’t expect you to notice this. Even though I lost, I have nothing to say. Just cursing myself for not having realized this, otherwise, I could have simply destroyed the theater."

Fei Ye also had a serious expression at the moment, and sincerely replied:

"With a ten-meter limitation, the theater is not easy to destroy, and even if you had destroyed the theater, we had a contingency plan, which was to go underground. Thanks to your previous actions, I noticed that there was a sewer system beneath this city. The underground environment is also sufficiently dim, and besides, Sheraya herself could create a potent light source, though doing so could easily cost Sheraya her life."

Sheraya: "..."

Even if they hadn’t done so, Sheraya had already been severely injured in order to lure Orell here. If this tactic had not worked, she might have really had to sacrifice her life.

"What’s with that look?" Fei Ye looked at Sheraya and said, "If you could reliably make some kind of optical weapon, we wouldn’t have had to execute such a plan."
