Cain didn't even realize what was happening and was defenseless as Benjamin stabbed him in the chest.
"you… "
At that moment, he lowered his head in shock and looked at the knife stuck in his chest. The blade was completely buried in his left chest. Benjamin even deliberately held the handle of the knife and twisted it left and right to ensure that the knife penetrated deep enough and cut off the last possibility of the opponent's survival.
Suddenly, Cain's entire face was twisted together in great pain. He looked at Benjamin, his wide eyes seemed to be filled with endless shock and questions.
"Why, why..."
Benjamin looked very calm. He suddenly pulled the knife back, threw it on the ground, and replied casually: "Because you are not real at all."
As he spoke, he looked at the wound he had poked in Cain's chest. The scene was similar to what he expected. The blood vessels at the wound seemed to be automatically closed, without a drop of blood flowing out.
And Cain's expression, after maintaining a moment of shock, suddenly returned to calm.
"...you see it?"
He spoke slowly and asked unhurriedly.
Benjamin nodded and said: "At first, I really thought that I traveled through time and space, but your performance made me feel that something was wrong. No one knows what happened for thousands of years, but... It stands to reason, You and Abel shouldn’t have broken up at this time.”
After Cain heard this, he fell silent and did not speak. The wound on his chest was slowly healing.
Benjamin snorted coldly and continued.
"Obviously, I did not travel through time and space, and what I just saw was not what really happened." He casually kicked the ground under his feet and said, "All of this is an illusion weaved by you, but, you It’s not made up.”
Cain seemed a little unhappy: "What do you mean?"
"According to legend, Cain and Abel are heroes of mankind. No matter which version they are in, they led others to defeat the World of Warcraft and opened up the first paradise where they can live a stable life." Benjamin said slowly, "But Looking at the living environment of your tribe and the conversations you have with your subordinates, you haven’t even managed to become a human being, so how can you talk about fighting against the monsters and opening up the wilderness?”
Cain calmly replied: "This is a long process, and what you see is just the beginning."
"If it's just the beginning, why do you look as ugly as if you've eaten a fly when I mention Abel?" Benjamin shrugged and said, "The illusion you weaved originally restored the original era, but... no For some reason, you seem to be unable to simulate Abel in the illusion. Therefore, you can only avoid talking about it and use other words to explain it away."
In fact, from the moment he mentioned Abel and Cain's expression became unnatural, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in Benjamin's heart.
The various phenomena he observed and the questions he raised gradually confirmed his suspicions. There may be nothing wrong with the background of this era, but the behavior of the "protagonist" in front of him seems very weird.
Although he was obviously from this era, why did Cain act as if he knew what would happen in the future
Of course, everything is just Benjamin’s guess. He would suddenly turn around and stab him, just to try it out—what would happen if he killed Cain
He knew in his heart that his actions might not have any impact, otherwise it would definitely cause various time paradoxes. And since it has no impact, why is he still hesitating? Regardless of whether he is true or not, just poke him through.
And this poke really confirmed Benjamin's doubts.
"Who are you? Cain? Or some dead soul hiding in the Valley of God's Abandonment?" Therefore, Benjamin looked at the other party coldly and said.
Cain stared at Benjamin without saying a word, his eyes a little gloomy.
At this moment, the wound on his chest has healed as before, and the damaged animal skin robe has also recovered as before. But Benjamin knew in his heart that all this was false. Even if he picked up the dagger and cut the opponent into pieces, there was no point.
Although he was a little uneasy, he was not afraid. No matter what he is facing at the moment, it will lead him into this illusion and try to make him believe it, which means that the opponent does not have the ability to directly hurt him.
Otherwise, he might have become cold.
"Don't want to speak? Then please forgive me for being rude."
Benjamin shook his head, suddenly picked up the short knife on the ground, and walked to Cain again.
"What can you do?" Cain asked coldly, "Without all your ability to cast spells, you have no way to fight against this memory. You can't do anything."
Benjamin shrugged and said, "Let's give it a try."
After saying that, he held the short knife, suddenly leaned down, and carved a character representing "affiliation" on the ground.
Benjamin's sudden move seemed to surprise Cain, and he first took a few steps back. Later, when he discovered that Benjamin did not want to carve words on him, his expression became a little unsightly.
"I didn't expect you to have understood the power of runes." Cain lowered his head, stared at the character carved by Benjamin, and said, "It's just that your method of using it is too superficial. What's more, you can do this with just one 'affinity' What? Use the elements to blow this place up?"
As he spoke, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Benjamin finished the characters, stood up, and smiled slightly: "I can destroy this illusion of yours."
Cain frowned when he heard this.
Benjamin didn't explain any more, threw the knife away and closed his mouth.
There is nothing more to say. The runes have been drawn, and his spiritual power is condensed in them. They will take effect soon. Of course, he was still curious about the other party's identity, but this Cain probably wouldn't tell him anything.
Therefore, he just wanted to get out of here quickly.
As time passed by, Benjamin and Cain were speechless. The forest they were in was like a movie with the pause button pressed. Even the half-fallen leaves stopped in mid-air.
—The illusion has been seen through, and the other party seems to be too lazy to maintain it any longer.
And in the middle of such a silent confrontation, suddenly, the whole world began to shake.
Cain's expression changed slightly.
"you… "
Benjamin seemed to know what the other party was going to say, so he smiled and nodded.
"That's right, that's what I planned." He said slowly, "A 'friendly' character can only attract some elements at most, and has no effect. But... in the Valley of God's Abandonment, there will be It’s not just the free and harmless elements that are attracted.”
Those elemental light groups floating everywhere are essentially aggregates of elements, so the 'affinity' character still maintains a certain attraction to them.
They will be attracted by the power of the runes in this illusion, and then start to destroy this ghost place from the outside.
Along with the whole world trembling, the lifelike dense forests, leaves, and even clouds... everything appeared blurry, similar to a decrease in image quality. Benjamin didn't know what was happening in reality, but he could imagine that the elemental light groups smoked away by Miles should have almost gathered together.
And Cain's figure gradually became illusory.
"What the hell are you?" Benjamin asked for the last time.
When Cain heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his blurred face.
"I... I... am... Cain..."
Intermittent sounds reached Benjamin's ears, like a radio with poor signal in a supernatural movie. In the end, it could only be classified as an indistinguishable noise, and nothing could be heard.
Soon, Cain's figure twisted and disappeared, and the whole world collapsed.
At that moment, there was only a white light in front of Benjamin's eyes, which was so bright that he could hardly open his eyes. When the white light disappeared, he opened his eyes and found that he had returned to reality.
