Chapter 14 Impact

Scylla's Stand is named Impact, and it looks like a shark covered in horny armor.

Unlike the Scarlet King that Li Qing encountered before, whose range was only 2 meters, this "Shark" named [Impact] is a long-range control stand - it can fight the enemy 50 meters away from the main body under the mental control of Scylla.

While Li Qing was cautiously guarding against Skayaro's real body 50 meters away, the "shark" named [Impact] had already used its unpredictable stand ability to silently appear in the water not far from Li Qing's feet.

Finally, it launched an attack under Scylla's orders.

"Hahaha."

Shikya Luo laughed secretly in his heart:

"If it was an ordinary Stand user, he would definitely be able to detect the presence of [Impact] at a glance and understand [Impact]'s Stand ability."

"But you..."

"Li Qing, you are a blind man!"

"The most important thing in Stand combat is intelligence. You can't even see it, so how can you understand my Stand's abilities?"

In order to obtain a digitized, indestructible body, Li Qing chose to sacrifice his eyesight.

His super hearing perception can make up for his blindness to a great extent, but the amount of information that this image can carry cannot be replaced by sound after all.

Like now:

[Impact] lurked silently beside Li Qing and appeared at his feet without him even noticing.

It was not until [Impact] showed its sharp and hard shark teeth and pounced out from the water on the deck that Li Qing finally realized the enemy's presence from the sharp airflow caused by the opponent's attack.

"Something is coming towards me?!"

"It's impossible for a human to be so big as to create such a small wind, and it's impossible for a human to be so fast."

Although he couldn't see the situation, he could still hear from the sound of the air flowing:

"Yes..."

"This is a Stand attack!"

He instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but it was too late.

The little "shark" named [Impact] has burst out with an extreme speed that is fast enough to drag out a phantom.

It first jumped out of the water on the deck at a high speed, and then bit through Li Qing's throat in an instant.

The health value displayed on the system interface in Li Qing's mind instantly dropped from 100% to 88%.

He instinctively swung his fist, trying to knock away the strange substitute that was madly biting his throat.

However, just the next moment...

The enemy's stand, who had just been biting his throat tightly and refusing to let go, disappeared silently.

It's not dodging or hiding, it's just disappearing into thin air like evaporating from the face of the earth.

Li Qing swung his fist with all his strength, but in the end he only hit empty air.

"Where?"

"Where did that thing go?"

He tensed up and listened to everything around him as best he could.

"Sir..."

"What are you doing?"

Andrew asked nervously.

Ordinary people cannot see the stand-in, but they can see the various strange scenes caused by the stand-in's attack.

Therefore, in the eyes of this poor Mr. Andrew, Li Qing just seemed like a mental patient who suddenly went crazy——

He first twisted his neck inexplicably and fell backwards, then quickly stood up as if he had been electrocuted, with a strange expression as if he was "fighting wits and courage with the air ".

"Oh my God!"

"Did I run into a psychopath with a gun?"

Andrew was so nervous that he dared not breathe, but Li Qing had no time to care about the hostage's emotions.

He was trying his best to analyze all the clues that might be useful to the war situation from the pitiful amount of information he had:

“No sound…”

"I didn't hear anything before the Stand attacked."

"And when I just swung my fist to fight back, it disappeared silently from my perception."

"Is it the ability to move at high speed?"

"No!"

"As long as you move your body, the air will flow. As long as the air flows, there will be a faint sound of wind."

"And at such a close distance, no sound can escape my ears."

"So, if its Stand ability is not 'sound isolation', then it must be——"

“Teleport!”

Li Qing made a quick judgment and barely figured out the enemy's stand ability.

But the enemy that disappeared from his perception did not leave him a chance to breathe. Under Skayaro's control, [ Impact ] quickly launched a second attack.

And Skayaro took advantage of Li Qing's blindness and directly controlled [Impact] to appear from a small puddle in front of him.

Being in such a close position and without being able to detect the enemy's movements in advance, Li Qing had no way to fight back.

[Impact] It leaped towards Li Qing's thigh and tore Li Qing's flesh and blood easily with its sharp and cold shark teeth.

The wound healed instantly under the power of digitized rules, without even a trace of blood seeping out.

But the gleaming blood bar floating above Li Qing's head actually .

Before he could react, the [Impact] disappeared again out of thin air using its mysterious stand ability, just like a naughty elf playing with a child.

“Gone again…”

"This guy is really cunning."

Li Qing sighed softly:

Including the attack that just hit his throat, his health has been reduced by 30%.

Now he was like a clumsy and slow stone. He couldn't keep up with the enemy's speed, couldn't see the enemy's movements, and couldn't hear the enemy's voice. The only thing he could do was to stand there stupidly and get beaten and abused.

The situation seems to have reached its peak, but...

After a sigh that was neither light nor heavy, a smile appeared on Li Qing's face.

This is a smile that can clear the clouds and reveal the moon:

"Great... I've got an idea!"

"From the sound of the airflow it created when it attacked, it first teleported about ten centimeters behind me.

"The second time it attacked me, it was at my side, about a few dozen centimeters away from me."

"What's noteworthy is that it never appears directly in the air. Instead, it never takes the trouble to jump up from the deck to launch an attack."

"If the enemy's ability is really 'teleportation' in a simple sense, then why doesn't it teleport directly to my body and attack at the closest distance?"

"In that case, I won't have time to react."

"Instead of going to the best attack position, you chose to appear on the deck at different distances from me. This means..."

"There must be a limit to the enemy's teleportation ability!"

"It is very likely that it needs to use something on the deck or some special terrain to achieve its instant movement."

“And this thing is…”

Li Qing tentatively moved his feet and stepped on the position where [Impact] had just appeared.

Then, he immediately identified what he was stepping on from the subtle touch coming from his feet:

"water!"

"The medium through which the enemy teleports is water!"

"So, the enemy's Stand ability is..."

After being beaten for nothing for two rounds, Li Qing finally made up for his disadvantage in vision:

"Using water as a medium, I can teleport between water and water!"
