Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 102: Strange Assassination (2)
Of course, I would not take the Supreme Honor lightly. I had just experienced the "pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth" incident, which dealt a heavy blow to the Church of Light. Then, a heavyweight professional player of the Light suddenly appeared in the Howling Plains. He might have a secret mission and was planning some revenge. I flew out for a while, confirmed that the Supreme Honor did not chase me, and changed back to my original form. I first applied a "special medicine for wounds", summoned Tao Tao to come over and meet up, and then hurriedly contacted Afeng to inform him that the Supreme Honor appeared near the station and attacked me. I asked him to inform other members to be careful, and at the same time reminded the Tongxin League and the "Resistance Alliance" to strengthen their vigilance and pay attention to collecting intelligence to avoid any conspiracy by the Church of Light or other hostile forces.
After I ended the contact with Afeng, I rode Taotao to the western continent and continued my journey of advancement. Using the "Blood Bat Transformation" would consume my mental energy continuously, and the journey was quite long, so it was more convenient to use Taotao. However, after being scared by the Supreme Honor, I dared not be careless again. This damn semi-restricted flight setting, I wanted to fly in the air for a spin, but I almost lost my life. I could only run on the ground honestly so that I could deal with emergencies at any time.
Because of the serious injury, Taotao's condition was affected and his speed was slower than usual. However, nothing unpleasant happened along the way and he arrived at the "Gate of Time and Space" smoothly. After passing through it, he came to the abandoned land of the Western Continent.
Before I ran far, I saw another golden light flashing in the corner of my eyes. A huge golden cross appeared in the air fifty meters away. The familiar scene reappeared, and a golden beam of light shot straight at me. Needless to say, it was the guy Supreme Honor again. What happened to him today? He kept haunting me. Is he really determined to kill me? We all serve our own masters, and there is no deep hatred between us. There is no need to fight so hard, right?
I was attacked by the Holy Cross again without any warning, but I was down-to-earth at this time, and I was able to perform well. I transformed into a blood bat, and used the same trick again, flying away with my "external incarnation". Even though the Supreme Honor took the lead again, it only killed more than 20 of my clones, and still preserved nearly three-quarters of its health. However, Taotao was unlucky. It was unable to dodge and had new injuries before its old wounds healed, and it immediately lost half of its life. If the Supreme Honor had not intended to kill me, it would have been too busy to take care of it as I left, and it would have been killed if it had been hit again.
Taotao quickly flew away and fled to the side. I also gathered together and merged into one. In order to buy time for Taotao to escape, I temporarily lingered in the air and did not fly away immediately. Supreme Honor appeared from behind a few big trees, this time riding directly on the back of the velociraptor. Without saying a word, he rushed towards me. It seems that he guessed my itinerary and rushed here to ambush after the last attack failed, launching a second sneak attack.
Although I was ambushed first and was definitely no match for him, I was quite confident in my ability to save my life and escape. I had no intention of competing with him in the first place, so I fired a few feints and avoided a head-on battle with him. I also used the "external incarnation" method to dodge an attack from the "Holy Cross". When Taotao flew far away, I immediately spread my wings and fled away, soon leaving the supreme honor far behind me.
I escaped the ambush again, but I became more and more confused. I was really puzzled and couldn't figure out what the Supreme Honor was doing. The first time could be said to be an accidental encounter, a sudden murderous intention, but the second sneak attack in the Forsaken Land was obviously a deliberate act, with the intention of killing me. But if that was the case, he should have found a few more helpers. It doesn't need to be too many. As long as there was Holy Heaven or any powerful archbishop present, I would have been finished as early as the time when we were stationed. Even if it was not convenient to gather people near our station, this ambush in the Forsaken Land was on their territory, so it shouldn't be a problem to find a few people to help. The secret plot behind the scenes has already been done, so I don't think he would be obsessed with being a personal hero and killing me alone. With such a smart person, he would never give up the easy way and insist on killing me alone?
I was frightened again and broke into a cold sweat. I was in the headquarters of the Church of Light. As a popular "wanted criminal", I might encounter professional players of Light at any time. I had relied "blood bat transformation" and was no longer afraid of siege, but I was frightened twice by the Supreme Honor. I couldn't figure out his or the Church of Light's intentions, so I didn't dare to move forward in a swagger. I sent Taotao back to the "Dead Space", transformed into a blood bat, and flew towards the "Castle of the Dead".
I was extremely alert along the way, carefully observing the movements around me, for fear of being ambushed again. However, this might really be just a private operation carried out by Supreme Honor alone. Although I found many professional players of the Light along the way, they did not seem to be targeting me and easily dodged. After several breaks, no more trouble occurred. Finally, I successfully arrived at the outskirts of Death Canyon and came to the "Castle of the Dead" through the teleportation point.
The buildings remain the same, but the people have changed. The old man who presides over the promotion ceremony in the "Castle of the Dead" is no longer there. Last time, I was the first undead wizard to enter the castle, so I came out for a temporary guest appearance. Now I meet one of the guardians of the "Castle of the Dead". "Hello, I'm the Holy Undead Mage Yigfil, nice to meet you." As soon as we met, the amiable Yigfil didn't put on the airs of an old senior at all. He raised his right hand enthusiastically and greeted me first.
I was immediately attracted by Igfell. Oh, no, don't get me wrong. Igfell is not a woman. He is a skinny old man like the other undead holy wizards I have seen. He will not induce "that" tendency in me. To be precise , I was attracted by his raised right hand. He was wearing a glove, a right-hand glove that was black, crystal clear, and emitting black light. I rubbed my eyes several times, stared at the glove for a long time, and then glanced at Igfell's empty left hand. Finally, I was sure that this was definitely a divine artifact, a glove for the other right hand that matched the "Touch of Death".
It was such a surprise that the other half that I had been longing for suddenly appeared in front of me. It was a pity that it was worn on the hand of an NPC. Doesn't this mean that unless the Holy Mage Yigfil is willing to give it up, I will never be able to get it again?
