Volume 4 copy Chapter 16: Life is precious (Part 2)
Although we had the courage to fight our opponents, it was not courage but stupidity to die against a monster that could kill us in a second. Krado and I looked at each other and made the only correct decision at the same time: we ran away like flowing water.
Listening to the low roar of Marquis Meneval close to our spines behind us, I was very friendly and hoped that my minotaur companion would slip and fall.
Although we couldn't communicate in the same language, Klado's pair of crystal clear and huge bull eyes looked at me lovingly, making me feel that he seemed to have the same ominous thoughts as me at this moment.
If Black Aurora is still alive, then we have enough confidence to get out of the current predicament. His long-range magic attack can save himself from the terrible close-range attack of Marquis Meneval . As long as we can attract the footsteps of the vampire marquis, it is only a matter of time before we kill him with magic.
What’s annoying is that the elf magician’s unwise attempt to show off his prowess cost him his own life, and also put us in trouble.
Many people can only reflect their great value after they leave, and people miss him deeply because of this. Our complex feelings of missing and hating Black Aurora are based on this. I don't know if long-term exposure to fire magic elements will make people hot-headed, but judging from Black Aurora's poor performance, this is very likely.
Although Longbow Shooting Sun also uses some sacred spells for long-range attacks, compared with his close combat magic, his long-range attack spells are simply scratching the surface: it took fifteen seconds to cast a spell, but it only knocked off thirteen drops of blood, and it was a critical hit. Now I know what the "thirteen points" that Black Aurora mentioned repeatedly during his lifetime meant - if I had done this shameful thing, I would have been ashamed and angry at this time, but he was shameless and continued to use this clumsy spell to attack continuously and steadily.
If he waits until he kills this gigantic blood-sucking monster bit by bit, the weeds in front of my grave will probably have grown into towering trees!
"Changgong, stop fighting, save your magic power to heal me!" It was not until I heard the voice of Chang Sanjiao that I realized I had missed one person. Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw the faint light slightly distorted in a corner in front of me, vaguely forming a huge transparent shadow of a human figure. This shadow was moving slowly forward in a very obscene manner, blocking the way for us to escape.
Just when Marquis Meneval was transforming, the Orc Wanderer's usual dirty behavior made him smell danger. He hid his body one step ahead and successfully avoided Marquis Meneval's pursuit.
"You fat thief, are you crazy? His attack power is too strong, I don't have enough time to add blood to you!" The dwarf priest was frightened by the proposal of the Yangtze River Delta, and he objected loudly.
"Don't use your solid head to measure my IQ. I didn't say I would fight him head-on! Just prepare your healing skills!" At this point, Krado and I had already run past the two sides of the Yangtze River Delta. The fat half-orc wanderer was hiding his body at this time, facing the giant vampire running towards him alone.
Just when Marquis Meneval was about to hit Chang Sanjiao, Chang Sanjiao suddenly moved sideways to let the giant go, then took out his warhammer, jumped up and hit him hard on the back.
This despicable sneak attack was successful on the Marquis Meneval, whose blood was boiling. Like all opponents who had been attacked by the Orc Wanderer, Marquis Meneval immediately stopped in his tracks, unconscious, and fell into a temporary physical coma due to the sudden blunt force blow.
This hammer only knocked off seven points of Marquis Meneval's health. Even though his health bar was already very low at this time, this little damage posed no threat to him.
However, this blow was only the prelude to the sneak attack in the Yangtze River Delta.
At the moment when the vampire marquis stopped and fainted, Chang Sanjiao immediately took out his "corpse poison dagger" and stabbed it deeply into the back of the vampire monster.
"Swish", a blood arrow worth 152 points shot out from the wound of Marquis Meneval. The severe pain immediately woke him up from his coma, and he turned around to settle accounts with the despicable attacker.
After Chang Sanjiao succeeded in his attack, he immediately ran away, shaking his big, soft belly as he ran, and cried to Chang Sanjiao with a sad face: "Hurry up, give me blood now!"
I don't know why Chang Sanjiao was so anxious to let Changgong Sheri replenish his vitality, because his life bar had not been reduced at this time. Just when I was incomprehensible about his panic, a miserable green "-22" floated strangely from the head of Marquis Meneval, and at the same time, another tragic number "-44" flashed above Chang Sanjiao's head.
We immediately understood what had happened.
"Corpse Poison", a vicious killing skill that comes with "Corpse Poison Dagger", causes continuous damage to the enemy while also causing double damage to oneself. When we describe the brutality of a battle, we often use the phrase "hurt the enemy 1,000 times and hurt yourself 800 times", and the brutality of "Corpse Poison" is even worse than this, it is simply "hurt the enemy 120 times and hurt yourself 250 times". When we first saw this skill that is more like a suicide technique, we laughed at its nonsensical effect, but we didn't expect that we would witness its power in practice so soon:
Although it could only cause more than 20 points of damage each time, as time went by, this continuous poison damage brought amazing results. In just ten seconds, Marquis Meneval's health had been reduced to the point of being exhausted. The number representing his reduced health kept flashing above his head. The dark green characters could make people feel the intense toxicity just by looking at them.
Chang Sanjiao was only in an even more miserable state than him: with the help of his longbow shooting at the sun, the healing light sowed by the Supreme God Darimos was pouring on him one after another like a cheap oil lamp; he held a handful of life potions of different sizes in each hand, burping nausea while drinking them in big gulps - it looked like he was about to vomit - at the same time, he was dragging the Marquis of Meneval around the life totem pole planted by Crado in circles, accepting the favor of the fertility worship belief of the Minotaur ancestors.
Finally, the toxicity of the corpse poison dagger reached its maximum effect in Marquis Meneval's body. After the last "-20" floated by, the huge vampire marquis stopped struggling, and his sinful life finally came to an end.
"...How...How is it possible, these lowly maggots..." He looked unwilling, his eyes staring straight ahead in fear and disbelief, as if he had seen the end of his life from this hall of death . However, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then he showed a fanatical and weak smile: "...But...it's too late...No one can stop...His Majesty Darendil from coming..."
After saying these words, he fell to the ground with a thud, and his huge body gradually shrank down until it became the size of an ordinary person. His shrunken body became like a mummy, with wrinkled skin, dry and hard body, and all the hair on his body turned white, making it almost unrecognizable from his original appearance.
When I saw his body, I finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all over, we finally killed him!"
"Yes, everything is over..." Changgong Sheri also nodded.
"Bullshit! Bullshit! What the hell is this over? It's not over yet! You all forgot about me!" Chang Sanjiao suddenly yelled fiercely, "Changgong, why the hell did you stop? Hurry up and give me blood!"
Although Marquis Meneval was dead , the effects of the "corpse poison" still existed in the body of the Orc Wanderer. The words "-48" and "-44" still floated above his head from time to time, and the speed at which his life was decreasing seemed to be even faster than when the vampire was alive.
"Well, there's a small problem..." Changgong Sheri pondered for a moment, then pointed with shame at the empty blue slot on his head that symbolized his magic value, "...I'm out of magic..."
"Where is the magic potion?" Chang Sanjiao shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What I just drank was the last bottle..."
At this time, the life totem inserted by Krado had reached its usage limit, and it fell to the ground with a "thump". The blue light shield that originally covered the ground immediately disappeared without a trace, and the speed at which the life in the Yangtze River Delta was reduced became faster and faster.
"Oshit! Are you guys a gang up on me..." Chang Sanjiao looked at the empty bottle of the last life potion he had just finished drinking, and felt like crying but had no tears.
"You have five seconds to leave a last word. Tell us what you have now!" Changgong Sheri said half-truthfully. He seemed to be trying hard to pretend to be sad, but the corners of his mouth that kept twitching slightly upwards betrayed him. He seemed to be trying hard to hold back his gloating smile, and that expression was very interesting.
"I think..." Chang Sanjiao said earnestly:
"…I can still…rescue her…"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down.
