Chapter 1812: Chapter 1030: The Dust-Covered Lord and the Comprehensive Upgrade Chapter 1812: Chapter 1030: The Dust-Covered Lord and the Comprehensive Upgrade “Is our side’s overall illusion technique strength insufficient?”

Hearing the voice of helplessness from Shirley, Leo Ray did not give up, but continued to inquire, “May I ask Saintess Madam, what are the requirements to initiate the most basic Phantom Clan formation?”

“Your Excellency, at least five Fifth-Order Illusion Technique Experts or more lower order experts from other illusion technique categories are needed to gather together, collectively equalling the strength of five Fifth-Order Illusion Technique Experts,” replied Shirley.

Shirley’s starry eyes moved, sequentially looking towards Little Illusion on Leo Ray’s shoulder, as well as Elusa, Mia, and Olivia, who stood beside him respectfully.

“Your Excellency’s flying pet can be considered one Tie 5 Powerhouse. As for the combined strength of the other three, even if they all have reached the threshold of Half-step Fifth Rank, at most they can be regarded as one qualified Fifth Tier Illusion Magic expert.”

“In other words, Your Excellency currently barely meets two-fifths of the requirements needed to initiate the Illusion Matrix. There is still a gap of three Fifth-Order strong.”

Shirley’s fair complexion was filled with helplessness as she shook her head and said, “From Your Excellency’s previous words, this humble one knows that Illusion Technique Experts are extremely rare among the Seven Human Nations today, hence, I can only offer my sympathies.”

Listening to Shirley’s words, Elusa, Mia, and Olivia all lowered their heads, their faces also filled with helplessness.

Among them, particularly Elusa, the Chief Illusionist of the Royal Family, was acutely aware.

Aside from herself, the combined strength of other illusionists in the Coldflame Palace was barely comparable to a Fourth-Order Illusion Technique Expert.

The gap of three Fifth-Order strong would require at least thirty Tier 4 Illusionists to fill, an undoubtedly inconsequential effort.

As for beyond the court, the number of formidable illusion technique experts available was even fewer.

It’s not just about Coldflame Kingdom, even if one were to look across the current Seven Human Nations, it would likely be difficult to gather the equivalent strength of three Fifth-Order Illusionist combat powers.

“Lord, as far as your subordinate knows, the last of the Fifth-Order Illusion Technique Experts in Human various countries was none other than Rosy Queen Ester of Coldflame Kingdom, known as the Illusion Queen, but she has been fallen for over 100 years. Since then, no Fifth-Order Illusion Technique Expert has emerged in the human various countries.”

Elusa’s long pointed ears drooped down in resignation as she shook her head.

Even in Dark Elf Kingdom where she was from, there was only her, a Tier 4 Peak Illusionist.

“Understood.”

Leo Ray was obviously very clear about the situation of the Seven Human Nations.

He nodded towards Elusa, and then turned to Shirley to ask, “Chief Priestess, if I do indeed find the full combat power needed to initiate the Illusion Matrix, what effect can the Illusion Matrix reach?”

“Your Excellency, although this is only the most basic Illusion Matrix of my Illusion Spirit Race, as long as the release location is chosen well, it’s not at all an issue to trap an army of a million, or even two million, within a certain period,” responded Shirley, her delicate face full of confidence and pride, “This can buy Your Excellency time to focus on dealing with other fronts, adding a small glimmer of hope to the victory of the war.”

“Can it allow me to resist an army from another front? It sounds like a lifesaving matrix.”

Leo Ray nodded heavily in response, “Understood. I will find sufficient illusion technique combat power within these days, and then I ask Chief Priestess for full support at that time.”

“Do not worry, if Your Excellency truly meets the conditions, this humble one will give her all,” Shirley nodded slightly without hesitation.

“Then I must thank Chief Priestess in advance.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath slowly, as if recalling something, he then said, “Chief Priestess, could you allow my subordinates to stay here, please provide them with some guidance in advance?”

“No problem, it’s quite boring for this humble one to be awake alone after all. Having company is the best possible scenario,” Shirley nodded without hesitation, agreeing, “Ensuring the long-forgotten illusion technique heritage of the Phantom Clan is passed on is also the duty of this humble Chief Priestess.”

“The help of the Phantom Clan and Chief Priestess is unforgettable to me, and it is my honor,”
Leo Ray first gave a bow to Shirley, and then turned to Elusa, Mia, and Olivia and said, “You three stay here for the next few days. This is a rare learning opportunity, and when the time comes, the heavy responsibility of stopping an army will be entrusted to you all.”

“At your command, Lord!”

The three Illusionists gave a bow, their pale faces full of determination.

“Then Little Illusion and I will leave first. With her by my side for protection, you can focus on your cultivation.”

Leo Ray waved his hand and left, swiftly disappearing with Little Illusion at the end of the Temple.

When Leo Ray’s figure completely vanished, Shirley stood in front of Elusa, Mia, and Olivia, and raised an eyebrow, “Your master seems very confident, can he really find the combat power equivalent to three Fifth-Order Illusion Technique Experts?”

“We believe our Lord will definitely find it! Because our Lord has already created one miracle after another that seemed impossible!”

Although they had no clue in their hearts, Elusa’s face still radiated certainty, and Mia and Olivia beside her also nodded emphatically.
