Chapter 1044: The Veil of Concealment
Claire was startled by Lisa's warning.
She turned her head to look at the lady in transparent gauze, who was charming and sexy. She really couldn't tell that she was acting.
Lisa guessed that she was half-believing and half-doubting, and explained in a low voice: "Before entering the ballroom, I cast the 2nd level spell "Detect Thoughts", but the surface thoughts of the creatures that enter my field of vision will be exposed nakedly in my mind, including the woman with ulterior motives... From the perspective of psychological activities, she is likely to be a demon in disguise. There are at least eight or nine guys like this in the ballroom!"
"Uh, Lisa, can you really see through people's hearts?" Claire was inexplicably nervous.
"Not all. If someone is particularly determined, I can't tell what he is planning, such as Brother Umberto."
Lisa looked at Claire deeply, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Sister Claire, the fact that you have a crush on Brother Umberto is all over your face. You don't need to use any 'detecting thoughts'. Anyone with eyes can see it. Why do you need to hide it?"
"Ah?! I'm not... I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!" Claire blushed immediately and quickly changed the subject, "Lisa, is there any way to strip off the demons' disguise and distinguish them from normal people?"
Lisa pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "The group of demons lurking in the dance hall are probably a trap set by Saratus to plot against us."
"Among the spells that the seducers are good at, there is a 6-level 'Hidden Veil', which can make many creatures change their appearance at the same time, which is equivalent to a group disguise effect... Let me try to see if I can dispel the demons' disguise."
Lisa held the holy emblem of the sun god and chanted a prayer in a low voice.
Casting the 3-level "dispelling spell" is common for her, but this time she seemed particularly cautious.
The targets of dispelling are usually magic effects below level 3, which can ensure success 100%.
This time, the magic that needs to be dispelled is level 6 magic "Hidden Veil", which may fail. Once the dispelling fails, it will alert the demons in the crowd. If the situation gets out of control, the consequences may be serious.
To use "Dispel" to dispel spells higher than level 3, a spellcasting attribute check is required, and the check difficulty (DC) = 10 + the level of the target spell.
Bringing in "Hidden Veil", the check difficulty is 16.
Lisa's spellcasting attribute (perception) is 22, and "Owl's Wisdom" increases perception by an additional 6 points, and the final perception correction is +9.
In addition, her profession "Judgment" has a divine ability-attacks, immunity, skills and attribute checks against evil creatures automatically gain advantages, that is, double dice to take the higher.
A simple calculation shows that Lisa can pass the test if she rolls two twenty-sided dice and any one is greater than 6.
As a result, her luck far exceeded the required limit, and she rolled 18 points on the first roll!
The girl waved a green light curtain from her palm, covering the people in the dance floor.
In a flash, the demons in the crowd were unmasked, revealing their ugly true faces.
There were a total of 12 cowards disguised as human nobles in the dance floor, including the noble lady closest to Claire. After taking off her magic disguise, her beauty was gone, and she turned into a short, bloated, ugly demon, rushing over with her fangs and claws.
Claire's face showed a trace of disgust, and she swung the "whip of thorns", entangled the coward's short neck, and pulled it to the ground.
The coward, lying on his back on the carpet, wanted to get up, but suddenly found a huge shadow flying over, and the next moment, the lion Simba bit his throat.
Umberto and Mario also showed their weapons, broke into the dance floor, and hunted the demons.
Half of the people in the dance floor were real humans. Under the effect of the "sedative song", they regained some sanity. They suddenly realized that the dance partner they were hugging closely was actually a demon in disguise, and they were immediately frightened!
These frightened noble men and women ran around screaming, and the scene in the hall was extremely chaotic.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
The pianist seemed to be frightened as well. He didn't care about playing the piano. He stood up with his hands on the keyboard and staggered towards Gao Fei.
At first, Gao Fei didn't pay attention to the pianist until Lisa's urgent warning came from behind.
"Be careful of the pianist!"
Gao Fei's heart trembled, and he activated the "thunder wave" without thinking, shaking the pianist who was about to approach him away.
Until this time, he didn't see what was suspicious about the pianist. It was purely out of trust in Lisa that he cast a spell to blow him away.
While keeping alert, Gao Fei turned his head to look at Lisa with doubts in his eyes.
"That pianist... has evil thoughts in his heart and tried to attack you!" Lisa walked quickly to her fiancé and explained to him in a low voice.
Gao Fei knew that she had already activated "Detect Thoughts". Since he saw that the pianist had murderous intentions, it was obvious that the other party was also a demon in disguise, so he cast "Dispel" on the pianist, intending to remove his disguise.
The result was somewhat unexpected.
The pianist, who was covered by the green light curtain, had no changes on his body.
Gao Fei initially thought that the dispel test failed, but when he opened the star disk to check the real-time battle report, he did not find any prompts that the test failed.
This can only mean that there is no disguise magic on the pianist. Whether it is "Disguise" or "Hidden Veil", casting "Dispel" on him is not the right medicine for the disease.
If the pianist was not a demon, why did he try to assassinate him? Did he really worship Saratus and volunteer to work for the demon as Saratus' assassin?
As Gao Fei stared in confusion, the answer was revealed automatically.
A strange black shadow, like boiling smoke, was emerging from the pianist.
Lisa's face suddenly changed when she saw this scene. She whistled hurriedly and called the "Holy Light Messenger" over.
The light emitted from the "Holy Light Messenger" was equivalent to the 2nd level spell "Eternal Flame".
With the illumination of this ball of light, Gao Fei found that the black shadow that was peeling off from the pianist turned into a thin human figure.
There were horns on the head, a pair of deformed wings behind the back, sharp claws at the end of the slender limbs, and the torso and face were blurred, as if they would blend into the darkness at any time and disappear without a trace.
Gao Fei was not unfamiliar with this strange phenomenon.
"It looks like an incorporeal creature... a ghost?"
"It is incorporeal, but not a ghost." Lisa corrected beside him, "It is a 'shadow demon', a rare incorporeal subspecies among the Tanarri demons!"
Hearing the word "shadow demon", Gao Fei immediately thought of the various legends about "demon possession".
