Chapter 67: Playing Dead

Although the back of the companion is not to be attacked by the enemy, but when surrounded by a group, as long as the enemy is surrounded, the sword that attacks together has nowhere to dodge, nor can it resist all, and it is still a dead end. The reason why the enemy did not immediately encircle was just because he was afraid of the battle of the trapped beasts, and in the case of absolute superiority, the soldiers would inevitably have selfish intentions, and did not want to face the final crazy attack of the enemy who was already dead. In the Dark Realms, a dark elf's struggle before death is called his "last bite".

A dark elf in the encirclement was facing me, with a hideous face, bleeding from his mouth and nose, holding a thin sword, glaring at me viciously, and seemed to have special feelings for me, but I didn't recognize him...... Wait, could it be the guy who was hit with a shield in my face? Damn, I just smashed his shield, but he stabbed a sword before, speaking of which, I still lost, and I should stare at it, it's really unkind! I decided, if I was going to hang up soon, the "last bite" would be given to him.

I glared back with more ferocious eyes, revealing the idea of pulling the other party's back from the release of my eyes, although it was not enough to intimidate him, but his eyes were a little less fierce and a little more hesitant.

After all, the enemy is a well-trained soldier, without any orders or hints, almost at the same time advancing and closing in, waving the blade in his hand, stabbing, slashing, slashing, chopping!

At the same time, I released the "Dark Spell" on the spot, and the advantage of casting a spell is that it does not require chanting, gestures, and materials when casting a spell like a normal mage, and it takes effect immediately, and the dark barrier with a radius of 6 meters envelops everyone at once.

Before the darkness obscured everyone's vision, I had already seen the incoming momentum of the blades from my side of the fan-shaped encirclement, and in the darkness, I used the "blind fight" specialty to guide me, turning my body slightly, so that the blade landed on the solid Mithril armor or other less important parts, the small shield in my left hand blocked a blade that was difficult to dodge, and the magic sword in my right hand was picked forward, which was the wrist that stabbed my throat with a thin sword at the frontal enemy...... Because I was worried that this guy would retaliate against me for smashing his nose, he would take me as a victim, and he pretended to use psychological offensive to make him hesitate a little at the critical moment, and if he was a little slower, I would have a chance.

I felt a sharp pain in several parts of my body at the same time, but I also felt the sword in my hand cut through the obstacles easily......

Several screams rang out almost simultaneously in the darkness, and the companion behind him trembled violently and slowly slipped and fell......

I lay on the ground, my left hand holding a small steel shield that was curving over the back of my neck, a vital point that the armor of Mithril had not covered.

I was part of the screams. Screaming louder than a dying companion and falling faster than a dying companion...... That's right, I'm playing dead!

Even creatures with dark vision cannot see through the dark enchantment caused by casting "Dark Magic", and ordinary light sources and low-level lighting spells such as "Flash", "Light" and "Light Dance" have no effect, and only the "Daylight" of the second-level arcane can cancel each other out, or suppress with a higher-level lighting spell.

The duration of the "Dark Spell" is 10 minutes per level, which means that as long as the dark enchantment I put is not canceled or suppressed, it can last for 1 hour and 10 minutes! Enemies who are in a hurry to complete the mission do not have that time to delay, and the spells that can neutralize or suppress my dark enchantment are not available to ordinary creeps......

In an environment where you can't see, mixing in the pile of dead people and pretending to be dead, how can the enemy find out the truth from the fake?

was smug in his heart, and his arm was in sharp pain, and he was beaten......

Those bastards actually killed corpses! I underestimated the treacherous ferocity of the Dark Elf NPCs.

Eighty percent felt that there was something strange about someone casting the dark enchantment at this time, and it was related to the life and death of a nobleman like me, and in the case of not being able to see, I had to add a few more strokes to the dead on the ground by feeling to ensure that it was just in case.

Fortunately, I had been prepared, and when I lay down, I pulled the corpse of my fallen companion to cover the lower half, wearing a Mithril helmet on my head, a cuirass on my back to protect mestrol, and the back of my neck covered by a small steel shield, and only the inlaid soft leather on my arms was weakly protected. I was slashed and stabbed several times in a row, but only the first one pierced the inlaid soft skin of my arm and caused damage.

It's just that if I had known that I would be injured so many times tonight, I would have turned off the pain sensation in the game system. Although the game itself has reduced the feeling of pain a lot, if the pain is completely turned off in the game, it will also turn off other sensations in the game at the same time, so the advantages of accessing the system with thinking compared to other different ways to access the system will be greatly reduced.

As the footsteps faded away, I easily opened the long sword and small steel shield I was holding in my hand, moved my body slightly, reached into my waist bag and took out a bottle of "Moderate Injury" potion, twisted the lid and drank it. The effect of the potion is the same as the spell, as soon as it is poured into the mouth, it immediately takes effect, and the pain of the injury on the body is reduced a lot, and the dark enchantment will not affect me to open my status bar to see, and the life trough that has almost descended to the bottom has also risen by more than half, alas~ Who called me low physique attributes, and the direct impact on the health value is not high. To be on the safe side, I drank another bottle of "Moderate Injury" potion to replenish my life, and my injuries were completely healed. The cost of the potion in the player's shop is counted in my future share of the bonus - I haven't gotten a single copper bonus yet, anyway.

Now that I've fully recovered from my injuries, I don't have to stay in the Dark Barrier and pretend to be dead.

I fumbled and picked up the long sword and the small steel shield, stood up in the darkness, and used the small steel shield to protect my head and face, and suddenly rushed out of the dark barrier.

…… No one is there.

Has the enemy already attacked? I looked in the direction of the corridor extension, and at the end of it was a forking corner.

Run, or fight?

To escape, pass through the compound below, where there may still be soldiers resisting, but the enemy is outnumbered. The chances of escaping are too low.

Let's fight!

The number of enemy soldiers who have invaded the noble quarters is smaller, and I may be able to meet others who are resisting the invasion now. The nobles are much more capable of individuals than creeps, and as long as they can join forces with the priests, battle commanders, and family mages in the nobles' quarters, it should be no problem to destroy the part of the enemy that has already invaded. At that time, with the cooperation of multiple classes, and with the help of geographical advantages, as long as the resistance was until the next morning, and the time allowed for private attacks was over, the enemy's attack was a failure.

Having made up his mind, he walked deeper into the hallway.

Suddenly, a group of people flashed around the corner at the end of the hallway!
