Section 333 Spoils of War
Zhu Hua threw away the gun and rushed out of his hiding place.
Did it work? Or was it ...... Failed?
It's hard to describe her real hope at the moment, even she herself is not sure what she wants to see (of course, the ideal is for both of them to die together, but this possibility is too low, even Zhu Hua herself has no expectations). But it's one thing to want to see what's going on, and it's another thing to actually see what's going on.
Vermilion stood in the middle of the cabin, still holding a useless rifle in her hand, but with the expression of a victor on her face.
Amber was already lying at her feet.
Yes, the trap worked as expected. Or rather, the Radiant Moon Warlock was as careless as Vermilion had expected—even the First Lawyer. Amber thinks she's defeated the Dream King, so she doesn't have any precautions at all, and is caught in the crucial gap.
When her body was in its weakest mental state, she was hit hard by the targeted magic of the seventh law.
Although the magic of the seventh law is considered to be the lowest level of magic, at least it has the advantage that it can be played casually. There's a reason why this power is described as "wind" rather than stones or anything else, because when a warlock warlock summons it and throws it at the enemy, it's as difficult to dodge as the wind is.
Of course, by a warlock's standards, it's as harmless as the wind. Enemies can still negate this damage with the same mana. Although, in fact, this is not a harm at all.
However, if it can exert its lethal power, then its effect will be unexpectedly good.
Even the magic of the First Law, which claims to be able to perceive the future, has no room to play in the face of this blow.
Zhu Hua could fully understand this situation, or rather, this was what they expected. No matter how powerful the magic of the first law is, there is a limit to people's dodging ability, and if it is an attack that cannot be dodged, it will still be hit. And coincidentally, the magic of the seventh law is exactly that kind of large-scale and indiscriminate offensive.
The amber on the ground has fully manifested its prototype. Specifically, she was transformed into a three-dimensional projection, a mannequin made of some unknown, translucent material - only the slightest movement of her body proved that it was a real living thing.
This is the reason why warlocks have mastered the technique of separating spirit and flesh, but it is rare for warlocks to do so, because the side effects of this practice are too great.
If a human flesh and blood is damaged, it will have different results depending on the size of the damage. It is well known that some injuries (often referred to as 'minor injuries') do not affect human movement for a short period of time. This is why there have been so many battles in history in which wounded deserters from the defeated side were able to flee from pursuit. Wound inflammation, infection, excessive blood loss, etc., may be fatal in the future, but that's for later. The reason for this is that human beings have developed a series of abilities to resist harm in the process of natural evolution. For example, the body has natural defense systems such as white blood cells and platelets, for example, the body has extra fluids that are not normally needed, for example, the body secretes hormones in times of crisis to stimulate the body to reduce pain, increase mobility, and so on.
The humans of Earth have summed it up in one sentence: the wounded beast is more ferocious. This is the best interpretation of such a situation.
But the spirit body is different. There is no way for the spirit body to withstand harm.
If the amber in front of her is flesh and blood, then the battle is far from over unless a blow shatters her brain and rips out her heart. A wounded person does not mean that he is hors de combat. But the spirit body ...... It doesn't matter if it's a small injury, but a slightly more serious injury can lead to the current situation: paralysis and incapacity.
Or, more precisely, sleeping.
"The First Lawyer, that's just the case......" Zhu Hua heard his blood sister enjoying the thrill of victory triumphantly. However, as she tried to pretend to be confident and easy to win, the automatic rifle in her hand revealed the truth.
The guns on the earth, if the bullets are gone, are scrap metal, and they are not as good as a brick. After all, the structure of the firearm makes it inherently incapable of melee combat (pirates can't carry bayonets on their guns). For warlocks, it's a complete burden.
So in the battle just now, you should throw away the gun immediately after shooting the bullet, because once the surprise attack of the seventh law magic power fails, you will enter melee combat, and this thing is a drag at this time.
But Vermilion did not lose this burden. This only shows how nervous she was just now, and she was unable to be graceful and calm at all, and even forgot that she had a pure burden on her hands. It's no wonder that after all, she is facing a First Lawyer, and even among warlocks, she is definitely the supreme existence.
Don't look at her trying to pretend to be relaxed now, in fact, she has gone all out just now. Don't look at this victory as simple as it is, but it can also be said that it is the result of her gathering all her wisdom, courage and strength. In fact, maybe even she just has the mentality of "try it as much as you can".
But now Vermilion has won. Amber no longer has any ability to fight back. Her will had fallen asleep, and her body had become completely defenseless. Now she is a fish on the chopping board, and she can only be disposed of, in fact, she can be killed with a random blow.
It should be noted that under normal circumstances, as long as an enemy high-level warlock is not dead, it should not be taken lightly. Because no one can say how much combat power the warlocks still have to play. But now amber is completely harmless - this is the weakness of the spirit body.
Zhu Hua looked at Amber ...... If you kill a First Law Warlock, you will be able to obtain First Law Mana by devouring it. Although the estimation obtained in this way is only the lowest, so low that it is almost impossible to use flexibly, that is also the magic of the first law. At the very least, Vermilion will gain the ability to predict the future for a short time. Even a fraction of a second, or even a fraction of a second, is enough, and this ability alone is a huge cheat.
But unexpectedly, the other party did not rush to kill Amber. Instead, she turned her attention to the other side.
In front of the pirate ship, where they were trying to board the freighter, there was unusual movement. As mentioned earlier, at this time, the wind and waves are calm, the two ships are already close, and the power of the engines is reduced to a minimum. Without the influence of unnecessary noise, both of them could clearly hear the voice over there.
The gunfire had stopped, replaced by screams and splashes of human bodies falling into the water. Listening to the sound, it doesn't feel like the pirates have rushed onto the freighter, but on the contrary, the people on the freighter have rushed onto the pirate ship and beat the pirates gathered at the bow of the ship.
Is it Lu Wu? Both of them now know that Lu Wu has a magic ring, and if they have that kind of equipment, it would be normal to defeat so many dozens of pirates. Of course, it is impossible for a mere magic ring to pose any threat to two high-level warlocks.
Vermilion wasn't momentarily distracted, but really left Amber's side and took a few steps towards the other side of the voice.
Zhu Hua didn't move, she turned her head to look at the amber on the ground. Why not kill her? She knew very well that if she could find the right opportunity...... She can also get the magic of the first law.
A voice whispered in her heart, telling a very reasonable choice: if you can get the magic of the first law, even if you have to be hunted down afterwards, it is worth trying. The earth is so big, and I know the situation of this world very well, as long as I can hide it......
However, before she could even withdraw her gaze at Amber, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It's vermilion.
Even though the hand didn't exert any force, just a gentle pat, and her shoulder stiffened.
Too...... It's too fast! I don't know how the other party came behind me in an instant, just now obviously on the side. This is the huge difference in power between the two sides. In front of the other party, he is as powerless as a baby.
Although they are sisters, one is a high-level warlock who can earn a title for himself with his own strength when he is still young and has little combat experience when he is still a minor, and the other is a low-level warlock who can only become a ranger to escape the mortal battle and stand out even when he is an adult.
Despite all the changes, this is the case right now.
Zhu Hua has always felt that he has become much stronger. But now it turns out that you want to have a conflict with each other...... That's simply looking for death. With her strength, it is impossible to resist even a little.
"I'll warn you," a voice said almost to her ear. "This is my trophy. You should know that stealing someone's stuff is a bad act, right?"
Zhu Hua found himself nodding violently.
Although after coming to her senses, she felt ashamed of herself. But at that moment, her body nodded violently out of her mind's control.
"It's great that you agree with that. Vermilion laughed in a very gentle voice. "Let's take a look at who the hero is who comes to save the beauty. ”
A dull sound came, the sound of a human being being thrown out and slamming heavily on the deck. It was the last sound, and then footsteps came in this direction.
An unfamiliar figure appeared in front of the two warlocks. It's not Lu Wu, it's a strange man who neither of them knows. There is not a trace of magic left on his body. Not only that, but he was also dressed strangely - he wore a very incongruous, archaic metal helmet on his head.
