Chapter 253: Life hangs by a thread
Looking at Karel as the smile slowly faded, Suni and Salina were also taken aback, wondering what was going on, until the sound of footsteps woke them up a few seconds later.
"You...... What's going on with you? Salina asked, looking at Karel, who was dressed in armor and gear, with a dragon's tooth dagger pinned to his waist and a hand cannon in his hand.
"What's going on?" Karel didn't understand what Salina meant.
"There was another one of you, but it disappeared before you came." Suni took Salina's words and said.
"That's my shadow clone, a skill I've only recently mastered." Shadow Reflection, which summons a shadow to the target, has the same abilities as the main body, lasts 16 seconds, and has a cooldown of 2 minutes.
It's a powerful burst skill.
"Oh." Suni and Salina nodded, then turned their attention to the female assassin lying on the ground.
Just when the two of them were about to say something, Karel suddenly stepped on the female assassin's mouth, crushed it hard, and the powerful force pressed the bones and made a sound of pulling the muscles apart.
After dislocating the female Assassin's chin, Karel stepped forward and ripped off the mask on the female Assassin's face, which was underneath a distorted face full of hatred, which was covered in scars and looked terrifying.
"Do you know each other?" Karel stepped aside and asked the two behind him.
Salina and Suni shook their heads.
"Hmm~" Karel nodded, indicating understanding, and then moved the female assassin's mouth away. Carefully groping between his teeth, he soon found a small tin bag the size of a grain of rice, needless to say, it must have been used to commit suicide.
For this kind of dead man, he couldn't ask anything to come out, and Karel didn't bother to ask, so he just picked up his clothes to see if there was any emblem that could indicate his position or power.
"What are you doing?" Watching Karel begin to undress the female assassin, Suni and Salina asked a little strangely.
"I'll see who sent these guys. You get your gear on first. It's not safe here. Karel said without turning his head.
"Okay." At this time, the two of them came to their senses and found that there was no one around them, and the ground was covered with blood and stump meat. A large pit in the ground. The smoke from the surrounding buildings and the uncleared remnants of arcane energy around them are a testament to what had happened here in the first 1 minute.
"I don't think it was a premeditated attack. It's possible that we accidentally hooked them out. Karel said to Suni and Salina as she rummaged through the belongings of the female assassin who had fallen into a coma due to blood loss, "I don't think this group is set up yet. Now that we have disrupted the formation, it is estimated that it will be completely chaotic all of a sudden. ”
"But these guys are really ruthless, and they can think of suicide attacks, and they can be considered geniuses." Karel said while rummaging through the female assassin's bag, Karel always felt that he had seen the style of this space bag, but it was too late to think about it, because at this time, the female assassin's body was already crawling with lilac rune lines.
"What is this?" Attracted by the lilac arcane glow, Karel saw that the assassin's body was already densely covered with such runic threads, while exuding a chaotic but unusually intense arcane fluctuation.
"it!" Karel exclaimed, then immediately dropped the space backpack in his hand, turned around and rushed to Suni and Salina, who were changing their equipment, and couldn't help but pick up the two and go to the corridor between the houses on the side.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's the situation? Salina, who had just put on two boots, screamed when she was suddenly attacked.
"Boom! Boom Boom! "Violent explosions were heard again, this time not one, but a string, and each of those attackers was a bomb!
And it's the kind that is detonated with a delay.
"Whew." Pausing in a steady-looking corner, Karel put Suni and Salina down and gasped for breath.
"I ...... What do we do now? Seeing that Karel was breathing steadily, Salina asked.
"You put on your gear first, and then go back to the palace immediately, and the celebration is over." Karel said as he poured down a bottle of potion, "Let's go." ”
"Okay." At this time, Suni and Salina also changed their equipment, and the three of them walked together in the direction of the palace.
It can be seen that the attack is not fully prepared, although the people on the streets are chaotic, but there are basically no casualties, and even the surrounding houses have not suffered much damage, correspondingly, the city guards also arrested a lot of people, but basically committed suicide by poisoning as soon as they were caught, and I don't know what the hell is going on.
Seeing the three princesses of the empire walk by, the squad leader of the city guards immediately saluted, and at the same time sent four soldiers to accompany the three of them back to the palace.
"Are you alright?" Karel, who was supposed to be the strongest, was running very slowly at this time, not only slowly, but also stumbling, giving people a feeling that he would fall down at any time, seeing Karel's situation, Suni asked worriedly.
"Oh, I'm fine, ahem." Karel covered his mouth and coughed a few times, ignoring the sticky feeling in his palm, took out another bottle of healing potion and quietly drank it, then forced his heavy legs and ran towards the palace.
"Why don't we take the carriage?" At this point, Salina asked a question.
"No, ahem, no, the target is too big, ahem, and you can't hide in case of an attack, use your legs." Karel covered her mouth and coughed, vetoing Sarina's proposal.
"Are you sure you're really okay? You look bad. Listening to Karel's coughing, Salina walked up to Karel and asked with concern.
"I'm really fine, just got salivaed. Ahem. The saliva is choked, and it will be fine for a while. Karel covered her mouth and waved at Salina, "Let's go back quickly, ahem, find your father, for this matter. Woooooooo He should be able to handle it. The strange coughing sound, combined with the strange swallowing sound, made Salina feel that something was wrong, but it was too late to think about it.
"Be careful!" A warrior wielding a two-handed sword charged towards Salina. As a result, Karel Shadow Walk rushed forward in advance, and the dagger in his hand almost cut him in two from behind, and blood was scattered everywhere.
But this man's vitality is not like a human, his spine has been cut, and this warrior can still turn around and hold Karel tightly, while the light on his body is getting brighter and brighter.
"Grass mud horse!" Karel yelled, and an over-the-shoulder throw threw the guy to the ground, then kicked him around the corner of the tunnel.
1 second has passed.
Rumble! A loud explosion, a powerful arcane explosion that shattered all the surrounding houses.
"Let's go." Karel wiped the blood from his body and continued walking in the direction of the palace.
"Meow a mi. Lulin, you must be in the palace. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold on. Karel groaned in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed, and ran towards the palace with firm steps.
The goal of these people was not Salina, nor was it to disrupt the festivities. Their goal is themselves. That's right. It's himself, an elf named Karel or Carre.
"Karel, you're not hurt. Nothing at all, strong feet, powerful punches, still in peak condition, no problem with ten fights at a time...... How can you die in this hellish place? Karel hypnotized herself, while following Salina and the group, although she wanted to take the lead, but she really couldn't do it, so she had to hold a dagger and make a broken appearance, if Karel was weak at this time, then it would not be this kind of attack from time to time, but a group of people together, and it would really be over.
Whether it is life or death, it depends on whether it can hold up to the palace and Lulin's side.
At this point, Karel's eyes were almost blood-red, and he was running almost entirely on his will, and he even lost his sense of his body.
Hmm~ forcibly swallowed the hot and bloody liquid that gushed into his throat, and finally, the palace was close at hand.
"Who?" Seeing someone running over, the palace guards stepped forward to stop them.
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!" After the group ran closer, they found out that it was the third princess Salina, so the guards got out of the way again, and at this time, the entire palace had begun to be under martial law, and it seemed that this sudden attack surprised the imperial high-level very much.
"The attack was very sudden, it started halfway through the celebration, and the attackers behaved in a haphazard and irregular manner, and we don't know why they did it." In the main hall of the royal palace, the Minister of Defense was reporting to Emperor Orgolon the Great.
"And who exactly is the attacker?" Orgolon asked, frowning.
"I don't know, these attackers will use a strange method to blow themselves up, it is extremely powerful, and so far no one has been caught alive, not even a dead body." The Minister of Defense said with annoyance.
"Forget it, it's none of your business." Orgolon rubbed his temples as one of the guards walked in and saluted him.
"Your Majesty, the third princess has returned to the palace, and she seems to be safe and sound, but ......," the guard hesitated.
"But what?" Orgolon asked.
"But that fox elemental venerable named Erin seems to be a little unstable."
"Take me to see it."
"Yes!"
……
"Whew, I'm finally back." The closest building to the side entrance of the palace was the banquet hall, and Salina walked here as a matter of course, and when she opened the door, she saw that the guests were also there, and it seemed that the empire took their safety very seriously.
You know, just one person who dies here can cause a war.
"Hey, Salina, you didn't ......" The fox man named Erin, who was actually Lulin, watched Salina push the door in, first smiled and said hello, and then his face changed in an instant, and he walked past Salina at once.
"Huh?" Salina, who knew that Erin was Lulin, was about to respond, but found Erin walking past her with a cold face, and Salina felt very strange about this instantaneous change of attitude, so she looked back, and then saw the scene that made her soul almost scared.
Caret, who was supposed to be full of vitality, was lying on the ground by the door at the moment, her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and there was no blood at all, not only that, but from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, a large amount of black blood was constantly gushing out, and it was bubbling, and there was a strange sweet smell in the air, and there was a long blood mark on the door, and the end of the blood mark was Carrey's hand, as you can imagine. She originally wanted to hold on to the door, but she couldn't hold it anymore, and slowly fell to the ground, rubbing such a long blood mark on the door.
Soul Link Totem. Feeling that the vitality of the elf in his arms was passing at an incredible speed, Erin immediately released the soul link totem, which can make the vitality of teammates within a certain range equalize, if it is only applied to the two of them, Erin can make it last for 1 hour.
"Poof!" As soon as the totem was released, Erin spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and was shocked to find that his vitality was only half left. Other words. If she had been slow for a second, Carré would have died!
As soon as the soul connection totem came out, Caret's bad situation was a little more stable, but the vitality of the two of them was still lost very quickly. Less than 2 minutes. I'm going to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks.
Tide of Healing Totem. The second totem was summoned, and the strong water element churned in the banquet hall, and the water element with a powerful healing effect desperately replenished the life force of the two. But for some reason, the speed is unusually slow, you must know that under normal circumstances, a healing tide totem can restore 40 people who are about to hang up to their best state in a matter of seconds.
There must be something wrong with Caret's injury, Erin flashed this thought in his heart, and after ten seconds, the healing tide totem disappeared, but the vitality of the two of them only recovered to 60%, and as soon as the totem disappeared, it immediately began to decline again.
"What the hell happened to her?!! Erin yelled at Salina.
"I don't know...... I don't know......" Salina wrung her hands vigorously with tears in her eyes.
"She's been with you all the time, and you don't know?" Erin's face was distorted like a devil.
"I really don't know, she was fine before......" Salina was almost frightened by Erin's appearance, and tears fell down her face.
"Damn it!" Seemingly unable to ask anything, Erin began to cast healing spells, torrents, healing waves, healing surges, and healing chains on Karel, but these spells were cast over and over again, and the replenishment of life force could not keep up with the speed of the passing, which was too abnormal.
That's right! Treat yourself! Erin had a flash of inspiration, and began to cast a healing spell on himself, there is a soul link totem to save zài, which can evenly distribute the vitality of the two people every second, as long as he keeps brushing himself, then Kalei will also recover.
Obviously, the problem was with Carey, who used the same spells to heal herself, and in three or two strokes she was full of life force, but for Carrey, these spells had almost no effect.
After the vitality is replenished, every second, the extra part will be split into two halves by the soul link totem, one of which is poured into Carre's body, but the higher Karel's vitality, the faster the rate of loss of vitality, until the healing tide cools down, Erin releases the healing tide totem and incarnates himself into an ancient water element to fill Kalei's vitality.
"Whew." Seeing that Caret's situation had stabilized, Erin was also a little unable to hold on, and he frantically cast a large amount of healing spells for a long time, and at this time, his head throbbed and hurt, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground and rest.
"I think you need to give me an explanation." When she was recovering in her state, Erin got up and confronted Salina.
"Erin, don't be like this, it's not her who makes Carley look like this." Suni persuaded from the side.
"I know, if she had caused it, then today would have been a different result," Erin said, gritting his teeth as he gritted his teeth and said with fire flashing in his eyes.
"Don't do that." Erin felt his sleeve being pulled, and couldn't help but turn his head to see that Carré, who was lying on the ground, had woken up and was curled up looking at him, "It's so cold here, I want to rest." ”
"Humph!" Erin glared at Salina, snorted coldly, and then bent down to pick up Carré who was lying on the ground and walked outside.
"Wait!" As soon as Erin stepped out of the door, Salina suddenly shouted.
"What, is there anything else you can do?" Erin's tone was stiff.
"It's not safe outside now, let her come to my dormitory to rest." Salina said as she wiped her tears and sobbed.
Looking at the occasional fires outside the palace, Erin looked down at Caret, who had fallen asleep in his arms.
"Okay." Erin said. (To be continued......)
