Chapter 181: Trust and Suspicion
Whew-
The torrent of magical particles scattered brought the sound of hot wind, making the hearts of the people of the Soul Seat restless.
To be precise, it wasn't the hot wind that made people feel anxious, but the scene that had just happened in front of everyone's eyes!
Unbelievable! unimaginable! beyond reality! Impossible......
But it did happen, and it appeared in everyone's eyes in that incomprehensible way.
After that, Elle blocked the interceptor's spells with Emmanuel's absorbing vortex, and Claire countered Willet's blood spells. But the focus of attention was not on them, but on the silver-haired and scarlet-pupiled young man in the middle of the formation.
- How did he do it?! The same question flashed through everyone's heart.
But there was no room to think about this problem now, and by the time they recovered from the shock, Charlotte and the others had already advanced to the stone slab where the last interceptor was.
It can be called devastating, and the full-fire assault formation will effortlessly solve the interceptor. Among them, the most amazing performance was still the silver-haired and red-eyed mage, who also had that incredible spell counter, and a few magic bullets destroyed the attack spell of the Soul Seat Interceptor in an instant.
Charlotte is in charge of spell defense and countermeasures, and Claire and Elle attack in tacit understanding, this combat mode can be called inexplicable. The Interceptor, who could have been able to hold on to the stone slab for a few minutes, could not hold out even for a single round, and was defeated by the challenger in just the first round of attack and defense. It was only then that Malthus seemed to react, and immediately activated the mechanism to cause the slate to disintegrate.
But it was already a step too late, and the team that had dealt with the interceptors with such momentum had already jumped onto the other slabs, and they were scurrying and moving on the disintegrating slabs, quickly approaching the area in the middle of the lake. At this time, they were only two hundred meters away from the island in the middle of the lake.
What is the concept of 200 meters?
With Charlotte's strengthened physical fitness, even in a dangerous area like the Blood Lake, it would definitely only take ten seconds to cross two hundred meters, which was only enough time to cast two master-level spells.
As mentioned at the beginning, the island in the middle of the lake consists of a giant stone slab and two large stone slabs, which are arranged in a triangular shape. And from the point of view of Charlotte's assault, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the slate area that Malthus guarded.
In other words, if Charlotte and Claire can't be solved in the next one or two spells, then Malthus will have to face their siege on the slate alone.
- Will I be able to emerge victorious alone under the siege of Charlotte, Claire, and the two Root Artifacts? The answer is no doubt.
- If I were to switch places with Gloria, would I do my best to rescue her when she was besieged?
- So, do I still have to try to defeat them with the next two spells? The answer is hesitation...... A faint voice said to him in the bottom of his heart, "Wouldn't it be a safer decision for me to retreat to the central stone slab and join forces with Gloria and Willett to fight again?"
Gloria once commented that Malthus was too clever to lack the courage of a fool to fight. Once he encounters a situation that exceeds expectations, he will rationally give birth to the mind of retreating. Because of this, Gloria hated Malthus from the bottom of her heart.
Malthus, on the other hand, dismissed this, believing that the best plan and the safest course of action were the most correct truth. There is only one life, and only those who live to the end can achieve victory, so is there anything wrong with being safe?
But Malthus didn't realize a point. In other words, countless victories and very few setbacks made him subconsciously ignore a point.
If you always take care of it carefully, but block it from those nutrients that seem dirty and harmful, but can actually cultivate courage and perseverance, then when the real choice of life or death comes, your sensitive and fragile heart will subconsciously give birth to the idea of escape.
The hesitant Malthus was in such a state.
"What are you thinking, Malthus!" Gloria's proud voice was filled with anger, "Cooperate with me in casting spells and sniping!"
But her words were counterproductive.
Suspicious by nature, Malthus is awakened by her words, and he subconsciously thinks that Gloria wants to kill him with a knife.
He snorted coldly in his heart, he made a spell casting gesture at a very fast speed, and the spell took shape in just about a second, to Gloria's surprise, Malthus used a mid-level spell that was mainly contained.
After that, Malthus didn't look at the result, and retreated to the massive stone slab in the center.
His behavior of escaping from the battle brought great variables to the sniper, and the situation that was still slightly advantageous was tilted in an instant, how could it be possible for the sniper to stop the advance of Charlotte and the others by relying on Gloria and Verit alone.
As Gloria analyzed at the beginning, they do have home advantage, but they lack the tacit understanding between Charlotte and Claire who can trust their lives. At the most critical moment, Malthus retreated because of suspicion.
On the other hand, Charlotte, who was fully capable of the Vientiane Eye and memory processing, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The operation of these two abilities was extremely mentally draining, and in just a few moments, the star curtain in his sea of consciousness had faint signs of instability. Especially the spells of Gloria and Malthus, as the Chosen Ones of the Soul Seat, their casting strength is by no means below Charlotte's, and it is even more difficult for Charlotte to find the flaws in their spell models.
Now as long as he faces Gloria's attack, the pressure on him is greatly reduced. He squeezed his potential again, and with a faint tingle in his temple, he cracked Gloria's spells.
In the process, Elle and Claire tacitly cooperated. Al blocked Wellett's innate blood spell attack, and Claire reacted quickly to attack Malthus after breaking Malthus's restraining spell with her backhand.
This made Malthus even more convinced that his judgment was correct, and he chose to abandon the stone tablet he was guarding and move alone towards the core stone tablet where Gloria was.
"Malthus!" Villerett trembled with anger, "you bastard!"
Malthus sneered back. He thought to himself secretly - if I don't leave, am I still waiting for you to borrow a knife to kill people?
Even Malthus himself didn't realize that in fact, the reason why he made such a choice was that in addition to the fear that Gloria and Verrit would kill people with knives, he also subconsciously had a trace of fear for Charlotte.
Charlotte's incredible abilities gave him a sense of powerlessness that was beyond his grasp.
- Can I really win as planned? That's what he subconsciously thought.
As Gloria said of him, when he realized that something was wrong, he lacked the courage to give it a shot.
It was this hesitation that turned the tide in an instant! After that, Charlotte and Claire finally landed in the safe zone!
"Looks like you're right. Occupying the stone slab that Malthus had been guarding, Claire said to Gloria with a sneer, "Your trap is indeed no match for our tacit understanding. ”
Today's Claire will not easily let go of any opportunity to split and attack the enemy.
Beside him, Charlotte didn't let the enemy see his weakness at the moment, and he followed suit, "Don't just mess with yourself in the future, that will make us see jokes!"
