The Martial Unity

Chapter 1920 Targeting The Strongest

"What's the game plan?" Kane asked him, glancing around nervously.

"We target groups of monsters or beasts one by one. Then, I scan their memories for the Divine Doctor," Rui replied. "We keep it low-profile, and we should be fine."

Because the region had beasts and animals that could threaten their lives, Rui wanted to be more clinical with how he approached the matter.

He would rather not be crude and haphazard like he was in the Valley of Prisms. This time, he intended to conduct surgical operations of memory scanning while drawing the least amount of attention to himself.

The two of them carefully navigated the Forest of Death. The absence of almost any other color, barring black, was unnerving. They drew so much attention by virtue of being extremely bright-colored in comparison that they activated their misdirection stealth techniques almost subconsciously.

It wasn't long before they arrived at several deer-like creatures grazing on black grass.

"Blackhinds," Rui whispered. "Good. They are docile and herbivorous beasts. On top of that, these are Squire-level. Let's go for them first."

He turned to Kane. "I need you to watch my back and keep an eye on our surroundings while I scan their memories."

Kane nodded as the two of them activated their Martial Hearts. Kane expanded his senses to the surroundings while Rui appeared before the blackhinds in the blink of an eye. Before they could even react—

Sleep.

The world went dark as Soul Void overtook their senses, leaving only Rui—who promptly misdirected them while planting suggestions in their subconscious mind—visible. Instantly, the conscious mind grew dimmer while the subconscious mind grew more active. Before they knew it, the blackhinds were in a semi-conscious state. Of course, Rui still needed to bind them with heaven-bending, for their cognitive capabilities had remained untouched, not reducing in the slightest. They still did everything they would have done otherwise: thrashing and resisting while bleating, except they did so semi-consciously rather than consciously.
