Novel Bin Chapter 172 - Disguising Illusion Stones Part 2
"The way they work is very simple. They must be in direct contact with you at all times otherwise the illusion will be broken, and as long as it is provided with a constant stream of Internal Energy they can form an illusion that alters your appearance" answered Angela.
"While activating the Disguising Illusion Stone you need to create an image of what you want your appearance to change into and it doesn\'t use much Internal Energy, but to sustain it for 24 hours will be very tiring, so let\'s not stay in the open for too long after activating the Disguising Illusion Stones," said Angela.
"I must warn you that an Advanced Cultivator that is an Internal Cultivator will be able to see through the disguises and an Advanced Cultivators that is an External Cultivator with their sharp senses and instincts will probably be able to do the same. You must also refrain from physical contact as although it appears to others that you are one way, it is merely an illusion so do not alter your shape too much" warned Angela.
"Each of these stones will last for 24 hours, so we should only use it for 8 hours at most each of these 3 days, if we are planning to use the entirety of these 3 days to complete our task" stated Angela.
Adam with the stone in his hand was excited to use it and see what it was like as he streamed Internal Energy into it without delay.
Just like Angela had instructed, Adam created an image within his mind of what he wanted his appearance to appear like to others through the illusion that would be created.
He couldn\'t alter his shape too much, but she didn\'t say there was a problem with changing his face a lot as nobody would be touching his face anyway. Adam was unsure what he wanted, but the first thing that came to mind was him with a crooked nose, a beard and bushy eyebrows.
He knew that wouldn\'t match his muscular, young and lean body, so gave him a small belly and made his arms very hairy.
The image that he had made within his mind of a man matched with the Internal Energy that he was streaming into the Disguising Illusion Stone formed an Illusion around Adam\'s body that completely changed his appearance.
He had also made the man he had pictured have brown eyes and it made him looked like an unkempt middle-aged man that was very hairy and had a beer belly.
Wayde didn\'t react as although he sensed that Adam had formed an Illusion around him, his perceptivity and high cultivation level made it so that he saw straight through the Illusion immediately.
However, Angela was shocked then burst out into laughter after seeing what Adam had made others think he looked like.
"This isn\'t a disguise, you completely changed what you look like," said Angela while laughing.
However, within a few seconds, she also saw Adam as she already knew that it was an illusion, she knew how he looked like before, and was also very perceptive with a high intelligence stat.
"Did the Illusion fail?" asked Adam seeing that her reaction had subsided and she was looking at him how she normally would.
"No, the Disguising Illusion Stone is relaying to those around you that you look in the way that you want them to see you, but in pictures and your reflection will look ordainry. Since I know it was an illusion and am perceptive, I could see through it after a few seconds, while Wayde instantly saw through it subconsciously and didn\'t even get to see your altered appearance" explained Angela.
"These merely reduce the risk of being recognised or found, but nothing is foolproof and we still need to be careful despite changing our appearance" commented Wayde who had begun to speak more after spending some time with Adam who was quite friendly with him and encouraged him to speak more.
"I will also change my appearance, despite not many people knowing of my face, just to be on the safe side" stated Wayde as he also used the Disguising Illusion Stone that Angela gave him.
He changed his appearance in a similar way to Adam, despite not seeing what Adam had changed his appearance too, as it was the obvious thing to do.
Wayde made it look like he had a beard, and altered his physique and facial features enough for him to be confident that nobody would recognise him.
Either way, unless it was somebody from the Maxwell Family, it would be unlikely that anybody would recognise him or know he was as most of those that had come across him were dead.
Adam was surprised by the instant change in Wayde and it was similar to his own, but he could sense that Wayde hadn\'t physically changed.
He could feel that it was merely the stone in Wayde\'s hand, which was being fuelled by Wayde\'s Internal Energy, that was relaying a signal to Adam\'s mind and altering what he saw.
It was an incredible thing to witness and after a few seconds, Wayde returned to how he was before and Adam could see that it was just like Angela had said.
With his perceptive nature and the fact that he already knew that it was an illusion and how Wayde looked, it wasn\'t difficult for him to see through the Illusion.
Angela was the next to change her appearance, and her change in appearance wasn\'t as drastic and negative as Wayde and Adam\'s. However, it was very effective as after activating her Disguising Illusion Stone, she looked like quite an ordinary and pretty young girl.
She suppressed how beautiful she was, especially how perfect her skin was, and also made her hair brown, but still kept it the same length.
"Since we have all disguised ourselves, let\'s leave," said Angela as they all left the car park.
