Chapter 004: Good and Evil
Although Joan of Arc has shown an expert-level fighting art, she is after all in the lowest skeleton form among the undead, how strong can her true strength be? What's more, she only has a hunting bow in her hand, so what's the use of a bow and arrow? The two sides were only seven paces away, a distance that only a short weapon could use.
The three bandits weren't entirely carried away by the anger, and they realized this and simply swarmed up, denying Joan of Arc a chance to show off their fighting skills.
The mountain bandits are not a rabble, on the contrary, they seem to have a good tacit understanding with each other. They moved forward at the same pace, and their shots were almost at the same time. With the whistling of blades, the two short swords slashed at Joan of Arc's arms, and the hand axe, which was obviously not light, slashed directly into Joan of Arc's skull.
A siege that is almost impossible to dodge.
Joan of Arc suddenly raised her hunting bow and held it above her head. The hand axe then roared and slashed at the hard cedar bow, and the blade of the axe got stuck inside!
With only 1 centimeter to cut the bow, the axe to slash into Joan of Arc's beautiful skull.
The fire of her soul in Joan of Arc's eyes flickered like an eternal flame in the wind. She didn't realize that she had just walked on the line of life and death, and with both hands, she directly broke the fir bow, and then tightly grasped the bowstring made of giant wolf tendons, stepped forward, stood in front of the axe-wielding mountain bandit, and then strangled his neck with the bowstring, and finally, tightened.
The thin and tough bowstring was deeply squeezed into his neck, 3 centimeters into the flesh, and under her far more strength than an adult, the other party was strangled to death, and the bowstring became tighter and tighter.
The axe-wielding bandit looked desperately into Joan of Arc's fiery eyes, and could only swing his hand axe weakly, but the two sides were almost close together, and no matter how much he struggled, the attack was powerless. His breathing became more and more difficult, his eyeballs bulged out little by little, and he even heard the sound of his throat bone breaking and shattering little by little, from faint at first, to clear later.
He was strangled to death by Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc succeeded, and at the cost of a sword cut off her left shoulder and right arm. Her bones were still strong, and when she was slashed with all the strength of her sharp short sword, there were only a few more small cracks.
At the same time as Joan of Arc made his move, Gao Duosi, who had been in ambush for a long time, also jumped off the high cedar tree and landed smoothly. At this time, the other party's attention was all on Joan of Arc, and they didn't expect that there was another person lying in ambush above their heads at this moment.
What the attributes of a half-dead man brought to him were a pair of stable and powerful hands. At this time, the enemies were all facing away from him, and he held the delicate short dagger and directly slit the throat of one of them.
The man only felt a chill in his throat, and it became extremely difficult to breathe, but the wound did not feel much pain, and when he reached out again, he saw that his hand was stained with dark red blood with a faint green!
Quenching the dagger?
The man was not mistaken, it was indeed a poisoned dagger that slit his throat.
[Quenching dagger.] 】
[Introduction: A small dagger that Gaudus took while escaping the necromancer's lab.] 】
[Type: Dagger.] 】
[Grade: White.] 】
[Condition: Excellent.] 】
[Special Effect, Poison Quenching: Passive, this is a poison dagger that deals poison damage when attacking enemies.] 】
The venom began to spread along the bloodstream, and he collapsed to the ground in shock and fear. He didn't want to die, so he desperately choked his throat, greedy for every opportunity to breathe, but the air continued to flow out with blood, and he could no longer form a complete cycle.
More and more dandelions flew into the woods and landed on this blood-stained land, and he looked at the white dandelions in the pool of blood, and only felt that the painful feeling was fading, but the pleasant feeling was rising like a tide, and it was about to drown him.
At the moment of suffocation, the human brain produces an orgasmic-like response. He knew he was going to die.
With another low-leg sweep, Gordos tripped the last bandit, while Joan of Arc snatched the axe from the axe-wielding bandit and slammed it into the man's head, splitting his head open!
The battle is over.
The smell of blood gradually spread, and the blood began to flow wantonly, and at this moment, the cold night wind blew, blowing away the smell and blowing away the dark clouds in the sky. Under the moonlight, Joan of Arc's proportionally beautiful and scarlet-stained body of white bones was like a layer of silver sand, full of sacredness.
Looking at these 4 corpses that were in a tragic state of death, Gao Duos found that he was very calm, and even had no emotional fluctuations. Maybe the owner of this body is used to dealing with corpses, maybe it's because his other half is an undead physique, or maybe it's because he's a necromancer.
As a human, he loved life, but as an undead, he also disregarded death. Perhaps it was precisely because of this contradictory nature that he saved Alice and set him on this path of revenge for killing.
"Alice, are you alright?"
A weak voice came from the dense foliage: "Hmm... A little dizzy. ”
"Jump down, I'll pick you up."
Alice, who was still hidden in the tall cedar tree, nodded, grasping the thick, tough branches and climbing down little by little, until she reached a relatively safe height, before jumping down.
Gaudus managed to catch Alice, although Alice was tall, but very light, and took such a beautiful girl, Gados did not feel much difficulty.
Gaudus felt Alice's heart beating fast, her body trembling, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm fine." Alice didn't dare to look at Gados again, she broke free from his embrace, and stood trembling aside.
Gaudus understood that Alice seemed to be a little cold, and that she was frightened by herself. He took off his shirt and draped it over Alice.
"Are you feeling better?"
Alice nodded, took two sips of hot air in her hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”
She seemed to sense Gauldos's thoughts, paused, and continued: "Actually, I'm not really afraid of you, you're just doing what you have to do, the people you killed... All damn it. ”
"Do you think so? Then I misunderstood you. ”
"Actually, what I'm really afraid of is Joan of Arc... She's such a great saint, the legendary swordsman I admire the most, she's... She's..."
Vivid eyeballs, splattered blood, terrible howls... The scene of Joan of Arc gouging out her eyes was so impressive that Alice couldn't forget it.
Is that still a saint? That's a demon!
"She turned into an undead..."
Gaudos smiled and said, "The good or bad of people depends not on what they are, but on what they do. Like these mountain bandits, do they do better than those evil undead? ”
Alice shook her head.
"There are despicable humans and good undead in this world, and good and evil are of no different species. Joan of Arc was a saint in her lifetime, and she is still a hero. ”
"Good and evil are of no species," Alice repeated, thoughtful.
Gao Duos picked up a short sword and handed it to Joan of Arc, as a legendary female swordsman, she has superb bare-handed fighting skills, then her swordsmanship must be even stronger.
Joan of Arc threw away the axe, took the sword, held the hilt of the sword in one hand, stroked the blade of the sword with the other, the soul fire in his eyes flickered and dimmed, as if an invisible power had been injected into it, and then little by little... Transform into the shape of a great sword.
She wiped the blood off the sword, and then raised the sword, the body of the sword reflected the cold light under the moonlight, and against the backdrop of the blood and dead corpses under her feet, she even regained half of the cold temperament of Joan of Arc before her death...
Sacrifice, deathmatch, killing, being pierced through the body by countless corrupt blades, trampling on the ground covered with blood and flesh, fighting alone with a sword in the circle of the undead... This is the real Joan of Arc.
Gados walked over to the body and began a careful search, eventually finding only three money bags, which added up to a total of 35 silver coins, which is equivalent to 350 dollars in real life.
He sighed, hungry wolves are abominable, but for them, good and evil may not be as important as the meat that actually eats in their mouths.
In addition, there is the bag of fine birch arrows, although Gados can't shoot arrows, arrows are also a scarce resource, such a bag, at least 10 silver coins.
At this moment, Gaudus suddenly noticed that his data panel had changed, so he called it out.
As a result of this battle, the level of [Necromancer] of Gaudus was increased to lv2, and the level of magic [Domination of Skeletons] was also increased to lv2.
For every level of [Necromancer], 1 point of full attribute is added, which is probably the most average attribute increase among all classes.
In addition, he also earns 1 freely distributable attribute point, which is also a reward for leveling up. He chose to keep this 1 stat point.
While the souls of these corpses had not yet dissipated, he began to chant a spell and cast [Domination of Skeletons].
Ten minutes later, two tall and vicious skeletons broke free from the flesh and blood, and stood in front of Gaudus dripping with blood. The movements of their rise were a little stiff, and the soul fire burning in their eyes was like two candles, neither vigorous nor active, nor as vigorous as Joan of Arc, and could only barely maintain their brightness.
Gaudus looked at the newborn dominant skeleton, but a trace of blood suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. In the process of summoning and dominating the skeletons, Gaudus must communicate with the souls of the deceased, and if the souls of the other party show resistance, then Gados must forcibly suppress the opponent's will to resist before he can give them a new life in their undead form.
The two souls that dominate the skeletons are not strong, and they can even be said to be very weak compared to Joan of Arc, and even so, their resistance has caused some damage to Gaoduos, after all, Gaoduos's ability [soul] is only lv1. However, they finally gave in under the pressure of Gauldos, and they chose to accept the summons and become Gauldos's servants.
Gaudus wiped away the blood and smiled a rare smile. Although the reborn Joan of Arc is powerful, it is a miracle that is difficult to replicate after all, and the two skeletons in front of him who are absolutely loyal to him are the power that truly belongs to him!
(There was a slight bug, which has now been fixed.) )
