Chapter 326: The Eye of Life and Death
This floating pattern resembling some kind of text can actually resist attacks?
I don't know what it is, but at least it will keep me safe for a short time, and I didn't think much about it, so I jumped at the chance and slashed at the puppet's head with a pair of claws!
Unfortunately, everything did not go as smoothly as expected.
It's not an idiot, unlike the rest of the killer traps. Countless tentacles instantly blocked the path of my attack, and they became solid, like a steel shield! Then, spikes sprouted from the deck, and the spikes turned into finger-sized tentacles, wrapping around me!
It brewed a blood-red glow in its eyes again! Attack me a second time!
It's still extremely fast, and it's hard to dodge.
But the result is the same as the first time, still blocked by those words. I also took this opportunity to cut off the tentacles of the puppet with a blade made of black sand, and we distanced ourselves and brewed our next round of attacks.
"I can protect you, it's an advantage and a disadvantage, because I can't be distracted, so I can only protect. It's up to you to destroy this thing. And it's a copy of you, and you may have to fight for days and nights without winning or losing. Unless there is a way to outright the other party, or a unique trick, when I can't protect you, you must be the one who is killed. ”
The dry corpse reminds me.
But this reminder is no different from nonsense, and in the process of fighting this thing, I have come to realize this, this mechanism is not easy to copy, it is not at all the copy I originally thought was weaker than the ontology. So in fact, the strength of the dry corpse is equal, it is lifting me, and any of my abilities that this puppet in front of me imitates are stronger than my body.
The only thing I feel fortunate for at the moment is that it doesn't have the similar ability to spread its demonic wings.
I don't know if it's because it's hard to replicate, or if it's because I'm limited in how I can use it, so it's indirectly limited. But all in all, it's a blessing in disguise for me. Otherwise, I and the dry corpse at this moment would have been killed by this guy a long time ago.
So, since there is no trick to be completely stronger than the opponent, how can I win?
Is it unique?
It seems that there is no chance, after all, it is a copy......
Thinking of this, its eyes burst red again! Although it was still blocked, this time, the color of the inscriptions was noticeably darker, and a little red light penetrated the inscriptions in the form of silk threads, stabbing some of my exoskeleton.
This is a red flag.
But......
At that moment, one more thing reminded me.
Eye.
The power of its eyes is something I don't have. It is a unique ability of these murderous traps. The eye ability is occupied and cannot be copied by the opponent, that is, that is the only difference between us.
But my left eye has completely lost vision.
I've tried many times, and the timeline can't be changed for the time being.
And my right eye......
I didn't know anything about it, and I tried to feel it in a way that controlled my left eye, but it never gave me any response. Seeing that the next attack of the puppet has been brewing, and this time, the character seal is on the verge of collapse, and I have no chance to distance myself from the puppet at all.
It seems that destruction is getting closer and closer to me.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt an itching pain in my chest, like a worm crawling down my chest and towards my neck! I looked down and saw that among the flesh and blood of the beetle was an eyeball full of fluffy tentacles!
It was Yu Xia's eyes, her fluff digging into my flesh, relying on that strength to climb up.
Her target is my eye socket!
I wanted to stop it, but I gave up on it.
Maybe it's an opportunity.
Although I am used to trying to change the outcome of things by myself, I have to admit that there are too many things that cannot be changed by human beings in the first place. Luck, or fate, really decides a lot......
If you go with the flow, you won't necessarily get the wrong results.
So I followed the arrangement of fate, dragged that eyeball, and sent her directly into my eye socket!
Its fine hairs melted into the flesh and blood of my eyeballs, and my vision disappeared in an instant, and with its fusion, it quickly recovered! The world in my eyes has become a sea of blood! The dark red light is getting stronger and stronger, and it is so red that it seems to be dark! A color that seems to come from an eerie hell! I felt a strong aura of death enveloping me.
That's a completely different taste from the left eye.
At that moment, I suddenly understood what the discarded left eye represented. Going back in time, it is just a appearance, but in fact it is a living ......
The beginning of everything.
And this right eye, the dark blood-red, is death.
The red light is bursting!
Engulfed me and the puppet at the same time......
"Zoraku?!"
The roar of the dried corpse, and the beating of the golden heart, echoed in my ears at the same time. But it is extremely illusory, so I don't know if it is my imagination or reality.
I don't know how long it took, but the blood disappeared in front of me.
My vision was blurred.
I vaguely saw the puppet standing in front of me, but it was a little different, it didn't continue to attack me, the red light in its eyes was gone, and the tentacles stopped moving. It stiffened in front of me, as if it had been cut off.
I subconsciously reached out to touch it, but the moment I touched it, it turned to ashes and disappeared with the wind.
"How......" I retreated, but my body almost collapsed due to exhaustion and blurred vision.
"Blight." The dry corpse appeared behind me at this time, holding my shoulder, "At that moment just now, it seemed to have traveled through an unknown amount of time, exhausting all its vitality. ”
"Do the organs also have vitality?" I asked.
"Everything will rot." The cadaver responded.
"It's horrible...... These eyes are really scary. ”
"What's even more terrifying is that it seems to be your eyes."
"No......" I shook my head.
At the same time, the already blurred vision gradually lost its sense of light, until it fell into darkness completely.
"You, what's wrong?" The cadaver was talking, and I felt a current in front of me, as if he was waving his hand, trying my vision.
"Completely blind, a pair of eyes, all blind."
Be that as it may, at least temporarily, get rid of the threat of death. The dry corpse uses magic, shares vision with me, and I regain my light again, but the perspective becomes very strange, I can see myself, and I can control myself. I don't know where my soul is, whether I'm a dry corpse or Zoraku.
We decided to go back to the previous dungeon, which was safe for the time being compared to this city, and that the night was still there, and that I had to meet her as soon as possible.
It's just Yu Xia......
Thinking of this, I touched my blind eyes.
I don't know if she's still alive.
