Chapter 41: Twists and Turns
In this situation, in order to reduce the damage caused by the thieves' sneak attacks, Eugene had to take some of his attention away from Chu Ge's side and use it to defend against the other three poisonous snakes.
Once the attention is distracted, Eugene is powerless even if he wants to cause damage to Chu Ge, and at this moment, the momentum of the thieves has been completely driven by Chu Ge, and the rhythm of the attack will only get stronger and stronger, and if Eugene wants to survive, he must spend more effort to defend against the thieves.
Under the elimination of each other's strengths, Chu Ge's pressure has also been greatly weakened, and he can even launch counterattacks against Eugene from time to time.
At the moment, Eugene is already in a four-on-one dilemma, and if he doesn't make any changes, then defeat is only a matter of time!
Of course, he wouldn't sit still, and after taking a deep breath, Eugene suddenly turned around and roared hoarsely at the thief who had attacked him the most times, and once again activated the ability called [Shock]!
That's right, the target of the shock launch is not Chu Ge, but one of the thieves!
Eugene had already understood at this moment that the biggest threat to him was not Chu Ge, but other thieves!
The meaning of Chu Ge's existence is just to drag him like kraft candy, except for hindering his attacks, it has no effect at all, and in essence, it cannot pose a threat to him!
As long as he kills the thieves and eliminates the people who can pose a threat to his life, even if Chu Ge can hide and resist again, he will only be alone!
It's a pity that Chu Ge didn't give him such a chance at all, and he made a decisive move at every critical moment, stopping his strong counterattack against the thieves in advance, and in desperation, he had to fight to launch the deterrent ability again after being seriously counterattacked!
After roaring, Eugene's face swelled up with an abnormal flush, and then he coughed violently, and several puddles of conspicuous blood also spurted out of his throat with coughing sounds, even a child could see that Eugene had paid a great price for activating his ability!
I have to say that his desperate behavior is still very effective.
As mentioned before, the thieves and Eugene know each other, so the [Deterrence] ability can only be activated once in a short period of time, and the thieves also know about it.
Therefore, after Eugene launched [Shock] before, the thieves subconsciously thought that Eugene was no longer able to activate this ability, and of course they did not do much defense, and suffered heavy losses under Eugene's hole cards!
Except for Chu Ge who retreated a distance in advance, the three thieves were all shocked by the roar at a very close distance, especially the thief who was specially cared for by Eugene, whose fate was not much different from the two unjust ghosts before, who had also lost consciousness and fell into a moment of sluggishness.
Although the impact of the other two thieves was not so severe, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced in a short period of time, and it was impossible to continue to fight in the previous way.
When activating the ability this time, because Eugene was facing away from Chu Ge, and Chu Ge also distanced himself from Eugene in time, he was not affected much except for the tingling of the eardrum and a little dizziness in his head.
Of course, Eugene understood this, but he didn't pay any attention to Chu Ge's will now, and directly picked up the iron rod and raised his hand to smash it forward!
His target was the thief who had fallen into a stupor!
"The other two guys have lost most of their combat effectiveness, and this guy is about to die at my hands, you have lost all your help, bamboo rat, I won this time!"
Looking at the battle situation that was changed in an instant, a comfortable pleasure filled Eugene's heart, he had been restrained by Chu Ge before, unable to cause the slightest effective attack, and he had to always be vigilant against sneak attacks from behind, that feeling really made him depressed to the extreme!
And now?
It's time to drink the wine of victory!
Just as the iron rod fell, the air above Eugene's head suddenly burst into a mist that began to distort and blur as if it had been refracted against!
In the midst of the illusion descended was Arna's lithe, silent form.
and two short swords that will be sharp and restrained!
There was no sign of Al's appearance, at least not to Eugene.
This moment is the moment when Eugene is closest to success, and it is also the moment when he is most relaxed, and Al also saw this opportunity to make a decisive move, drawing a break for Eugene's victory.
The two short swords were inserted into Eugene's body from the shoulder blades very smoothly, and after the tendons in the shoulder were severed, the strong man's two arms lost most of their abilities in an instant, and the iron rod in his hand was smashed into the open ground due to the imbalance of power.
Chu Ge was not idle, at the same time that Al appeared, he also rushed towards Eugene, and while Eugene was restrained by Al's short sword, he stabbed Eugene in the back fiercely!
The dagger passed through the gap between the sternum and sank directly into the beating heart, ending the life of the strong man.
ใSP+21๏ผ ใ
[Passive Ability Domination Necromancy Takes Effect: Successfully Obtain Soul (Strength Level 1)*1]
[Current number of souls: 5]
In fact, after that roar, Eugene's physical strength had reached its limit, and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and he was almost in a state of exhaustion, otherwise Al would not have succeeded in such a simple sneak attack.
With a roar, Eugene's body fell, and Al pulled out his two short swords separately, and Chu Ge did not sit idle, but harvested the lives of the remaining three thieves one after another.
ใSP+25๏ผ ใ
[Passive Ability Domination Necronomicon Takes Effect: Successfully Obtained Soul (Strength Level 1)*3]
[Current number of souls is: 8]
Needless to say, the guy who was still in a sluggish state ended up, while the other two thieves showed an unusually strong will to survive, and it took Chu Ge a little more time to solve it.
"Hint: The remaining time of the Forbidden Circle [Blasphemy] is 7:48, and the number of dead is: 7; The current number of remaining people is: 2. โ
The remaining SP value is: 70.
Just as Chu Ge was figuring out how to improve his abilities, Al suddenly threw him a small bottle of something, which looked like some kind of medicine.
ใMixed Elixir (Secondary)ใ
[Item Rarity: Bronze]
[Evaluation grade: excellent]
ใ1/1 of the remaining usesใ
[Take: After taking the Elixir, you can recover a total of 50 HP and 25 Source Energy within 30 seconds.] ใ
[Secondary: This flask will only take effect on creatures below the third order.] ใ
[Description: This is a potion prepared using the elves' special secret recipes, because many cheap substitutes were added when configured, so the effect after the configuration is completed is much worse than what the formula says.] ใ
Good stuff!
Before Chu Ge could ask questions, Al's voice sounded again:
"This potion can allow you to quickly recover from physical strength and injuries, but it can't do anything about mental exhaustion."
"I'd love to give you some more time to adjust, but time is running out for us, so I just hope you don't feel unfair."
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled:
"How so?"
