Chapter 17: The Line Between Life and Death
Roque sat down and rested for a while, recovering some of his magic. When www.biquge.info opened his eyes again, Minter had just finished treating Kurto.
"How's he doing?"
"This fate is saved, but I don't know how long it will take to return to the state before the injury, after all, the injury is too serious." Minter wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Anyway, thanks to your treatment, otherwise ......" Milou took Kulto's hand, who was still unconscious, and for the first time felt that she actually cared about someone.
"It's fine. If you want to thank you, I think you should be even more grateful to Chris. ”
"Hey, it's been a long time since I've had such a fierce fight, and I wonder if I'm rusty." Chris looked at his scarred palms and laughed at himself, as if trying to avoid the topic......
"That's right, Chris. May I ask how you came across this thousand-year-old corpse king? As far as I know, it hasn't been found in over two hundred years......," Roque asked a question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
Chris was embarrassed for a while when Roque said this, kept scratching the back of his head with his hand, and finally explained helplessly: "This...... I heard that there is a 'secret treasure that can cut time and space' in the enclosed area of the dark tunnel, so I wanted to try my luck, and after a few days in this ghost place where birds don't, I was bored and began to slash the wall with a giant sword, but I accidentally found a secret passage, and I went in and found 4 glittering stones, I thought these stones were the legendary secret treasure, and I was about to run away...... This guy, the Corpse King, came out of the ground next to him and chased after me like crazy, and then you arrived. ”
"......" Roque was thundered by Chris, a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense, and slashed the wall to find a secret passage? How many stones did you take to lead to the big boss? I really don't know if he was lucky or unlucky, if he hadn't arrived in time, maybe Chris would have become one of those zombies by now......
"So what? What about the stones? "Roque was a little curious about those few glittering stones, the treasure that could make such a powerful monster as the Millennium Corpse King so fancy was definitely not an ordinary thing, maybe......
"Oh, those stones, I'll take them out and show you." Chris opened the package he was carrying with him and took out four stones that exuded different colors.
"I'm X!" Sure enough, the moment he saw these stones, Luo Ke knew that he had guessed correctly, and these stones were one of the goals of his mission - light, darkness, thunder, and meta-attribute stones!
It's really a nowhere to find it without stepping on iron shoes, and just now I was thinking about how to dig up these rare attribute stones, but I didn't expect Chris's shit luck to be amazing, and I found it directly.
"Ahem...... Chris, no, Uncle Ke, can you ......" Roque showed a flattering expression and rubbed his hands, looking like a green-skinned creature greedy for money.
"Don't call me that, you also have a gram in your name, which makes me feel like I'm really your uncle...... You want these stones, don't you? Anyway, I don't have much interest in this thing, and I don't need it, so I'll give it to you when I get back. Chris waved his hand, and his words almost made Roque really think he was his uncle.
At that moment, a shrill, abrupt voice interrupted Roque's joy.
"Hahahahahaha, it's really hard for you, not only to help me kill that tricky corpse king, but also to steal all the treasures it treasures. Of course, from now on, the treasure is mine!! Out of the passage behind the crowd came a loving little man in a cloak.
Luo Ke secretly snorted fuck, such a bloody thing as killing people and snatching treasures was really encountered by himself, and the worst thing is that he seems to be the only one who barely retains some combat power, as for the others......
Chris: I just finished using my ultimate, and I'm currently in a weak state, so I can't use a single move.
Milu: Same as above.
Kurto: Lying in the corpse.
Minter: No fighting.
Myself...... Anyway, there is still some magic left, and it should be able to complete the counter-kill...... Wipe! Only then did Roque notice that the Treasure Raider who suddenly appeared was an assassin, and an assassin who had reached the second order!
As we all know, no matter what the game, in the case of a one-on-one confrontation between the mage and the assassin, the mage is generally at a disadvantage, because the assassin's movement speed and attack speed are very fast, and he can often kill you before the mage finishes chanting, and unless it is a certain distance at the beginning of the battle, the mage will kneel nine times out of ten.
And where we are now...... It's not that Roque doesn't want to distance himself, but once he is a little away from him at a certain distance, maybe he will take other people's knives, after all, Minter is an auxiliary staff with no combat effectiveness at all, and the Milu Kurtochis who can fight are all weak, to put it mildly, it is not good to say that now it is three residual blood, one auxiliary plus a half-hung mage against a full state of assassin, and the assassin can completely kill the residual blood and support before going to the mage - because the mage can't sit back and watch his teammates be killed, which the Treasure Raider can see from the beginning of the battle, Roque is not the kind of cold-blooded captain who doesn't care about the lives and deaths of his teammates.
“…… So, will you figure it out on your own or will I send you on your way? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance, give you 5 seconds, when the time is up...... Hehe, the Grim Reaper has come hahahahahaha! The Raider stuck out his long tongue and licked the short sword in his hand, revealing a sickly smile.
Bastard!!! I can't...... Roque forced himself to calm down, I'm sure I'll find a way...... I, Roque, am not one to sit still......
Since you want us to die, then I'll have to bet with you!
Roque started chanting right in the spot!
"Hee-hee...... Since you're looking for death, you can't blame me......" The Treasure Raider smiled hideously, and an accelerated dash rushed towards Roque!
When the Raider rushes to Roque's side, the fireball spell has just finished chanting!
"Fireball! Die, you SB! Roque roared.
"That's your last word?" The Raider didn't care, dodging the incoming fireball and quickly approaching Roque again.
Roque didn't seem to be able to find the time to fight back, and for a while he could only rely on the staff in his hand to block the short sword, and after a while, his body was covered with large and small wounds.
"Damn! Bastard! If it weren't for me......" Chris wanted to struggle to get up, but his stamina had bottomed out, and he was completely out of strength.
"I didn't expect that I just got out of danger and entered the tiger's mouth again, and I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today......" Mi Lu was still in the mood to complain at this time.
“…… Can I still help reply......" Mint couldn't bear the fate of Roque's torture and killing, and couldn't help but start chanting about healing.
"Beauty, you'd better shut up, or maybe I'll stab this short sword into your heart first~" The Treasure Raider immediately noticed Minte's small movements and warned.
Minter reluctantly interrupted the chanting.
Now Roque's situation is precarious, as if he will be stabbed in the heart by a short sword in the next second, but magically, every time Roque can accurately judge the enemy's attack and avoid the vital point in danger.
Soon the Treasure Raider began to get impatient and accelerated the frequency of attacks, and now Roque gradually couldn't parry!
"I've found a flaw!" The Treasure Raider said excitedly, and his right hand stabbed forward at a very fast speed, right in Roque's chest!
"Roque !!"
Unexpectedly, Roque suddenly ripped off the clothes on his chest and quickly retreated.
I saw an inconspicuous frying pan pierced by the Raider's short sword and hung on his short sword.
"Frying pan??? You're a magician with this stuff??? The Raiders were shocked.
But Roque didn't care if he was shocked or not, and he ched every second of chanting a spell.
The Treasure Raider threw away the pan in his hand, took out another short sword from his pocket, and smiled sinisterly: "It's useless, I remembered the time you cast just now, and this time is enough for me to pierce your heart." After saying that, a thrust instantly rushed in front of Roque's side, and he was about to stab Roque through it.
Just when the Treasure Raider thought that Roque was already a dead man, he suddenly saw Roque show a weird smile.
"Huh? Brain show funny? ”
But soon the Treasure Raiders were horrified to find that Roque's fireball technique had been chanted!
And at this distance, he can't dodge anymore!
"It can't be! How could you have finished chanting so quickly! In the unwillingness of the Treasure Raider's frightened scream, the fireball technique hit his head completely, instantly roasting his head into charcoal.
That's right, from the very beginning, when Roque first used the fireball technique, he deliberately chanted it at the "normal magician's speed", the purpose of which was to make him think that "the time for this magician to sing a fireball spell is XX seconds, and I just need to pierce his heart before these XX seconds and it will be over", but he walked into the trap set by Roque from the beginning! Roque, who has the ability of "fast mouth", can freely control the speed of singing, and staged a shocking reversal when the raider man was defenseless!
This is Roque's way of fighting, not to crush, but to kill with one blow!
The people who witnessed Roque complete the gorgeous counter-kill looked stunned, they never thought that a magician could directly turn the tables in such a dead situation, this is as incredible as a highly poisonous starfish of the water system killed the tail crystal scorpion of the thunder system, it is no exaggeration to say that if this battle is passed out, it can be written into the textbook of classic anti-killing!
And Roque, who had accomplished this feat, silently burned the corpse of the dead Raider of the Lost Ark to ashes with flames, leaving behind an extremely pretended victory speech: "The reason for your failure is that you trust your own experience too much, and in layman's terms, your mind is too rigid!" ”
