Chapter 115: Kolori's Fight for Her Life
Holding the magic sword in her hand for bloody revenge, Kolori's first feeling was heavy, and the second feeling was an indescribable sense of absorption. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was as if the blood flow throughout the body had become abnormal and had begun to flow in one direction. This made her body, which was already tired and sleepy from the injury, suddenly stumble and become even weaker.
"I can't fall here. A thought crossed his mind, and such a thought miraculously regained the strength of the little thief's tired body, and he regained his strength.
She was supposed to fall, but she didn't. She could have chosen to stay out of the troubled waters, but she didn't. At this moment, she didn't know why, and she didn't know where the strength came from. In this way, she dragged a magic sword that was constantly tormenting her step by step, and walked towards a monster that could take her life at any time.
No one needed her to do that, not even the two people she was trying to save didn't want her to put her in danger for them. Kolori may know this, but she doesn't care, because it's her choice, and she definitely doesn't regret it.
This is a change in a person's beliefs. And once a person has the belief to die for it, and acts for the sake of that belief. Then this person can be given a special title, hero!
What Kolori wants to do now is to be a hero, a hero who does not hesitate to risk in order to repay his kindness, a hero who may succeed in such a majestic situation once in his life.
This could be the last and only chance of her life to become a hero. So at this time, she completely exerted her abilities to the extreme.
Dragging the giant sword forward, her speed is definitely not fast. But her footsteps were light and her movements were subtle, completely avoiding all the monster's sight, so that the wheezing monster could not even detect her presence. She is slow, but she is calm. So without any unnecessary changes, she approached the monster with unusual speed.
However, when she was close to a certain range, her steps suddenly stopped.
It's not because she's timid and wants to back down. It's because she's in a special range. And this special circle of scope has a unique name in their thief's trade, that is, the warning circle.
The thieves do dishonorable work. Those who can delve into various ruins, solve various traps, and steal all kinds of secret treasures are the top talents among the thieves. And most of them, including Kolori, are doing things like stealing chickens and dogs. Stealing people's money bags and taking away people's treasures while people are not paying attention is their ability.
And the thieves who often do this kind of stealing and stealing know that everyone has a special vigilance about the situation around them. This is a special ability that seems to be related to the natural sixth sense. And if you break it down, it's that people are very sensitive to any changes in their surroundings within a step or two. Even the wind and grass will stir their minds.
Generally speaking, skilled thieves will take advantage of the environment, or create accidents, to break into this ring of warning in the shortest possible time, and then take advantage of the inherent dullness of human reaction to steal what they want as quickly as possible. And if you do, you have to move fast, and you must never hit the same target twice.
Such a rule is almost an iron rule in the thieving business. It's not that anyone is upholding such a rule and punishing every thief who breaks the rules. It's that almost every thief who violates this iron law is caught on the spot, and then his hands are directly disabled.
The thieves rely on a pair of dexterous hands to make a living, and without this, they are naturally considered to be completely finished.
As it stands, Kolori doesn't intend to steal from the monster, but she does a lot more than stealing. Within this range, once step into the alert circle of monsters with more acute senses. She had to make sure that her actions didn't go unnoticed. Otherwise, she wouldn't necessarily be able to hurt the monster, and the monster would definitely kill her.
She has already made a heroic plan, and she naturally doesn't care about her life and death. But she knew that she could not die in vain, because if she died here, then the person she was trying to save would have no hope of survival.
At this time, she had to be calm and absolutely sane, and in fact she did.
Quietly took out a handful of powder-like things from a hidden pocket on her body, and Kolori directly sprinkled them all on her body.
It's stealth scales, something that must be made by a professional, alchemist in the service of the thieves' guild. Its composition is mainly composed of the wing scale pollen of the flower fairy, as well as some special pollen. And its function is also very simple, that is, to use this special scale powder to deceive other people's senses, so that other people's eyes cannot see your existence. At the same time, because of that special pollen, the user's smell will also be masked by this scale pollen.
With such a thing, ordinary thieves can become great thieves. And if you are a little more skillful, you can go to even some important places that are heavily guarded. It can be said that this is a must-have for a professional thief. And it is precisely because of the magical effect of this kind of thing that its price is not at all acceptable to idle people.
The price of five hundred gold coins per piece was completely beyond the limit of what a thief of Kolori's level could afford, so normally, she would not have access to this kind of thing. However, there are always exceptions. The only time in Kolori's life was when she touched the corpse of a senior thief with two gems and a bag of invisibility scales.
These two gems allowed Kolori to continue her dreams for a long time, and the Invisible Scales gave her a precious chance to survive many crises. It can be said that before this, she never thought that her life-saving stealth scale powder would actually be used to fight for her life one day. But again, she doesn't regret it at all.
As soon as the scales were sprinkled on her body, it immediately seemed to be absorbed by something, and it firmly enveloped Kolori's whole body. And then, the scale powder immediately played a role, causing Kolori's entire figure to quickly disappear from Yan and Qiong's sight.
This caused Hiko and Dome to immediately feel a little panicked, but this was exactly what Kolori wanted. Thieves are not accustomed to working under the gaze of others, even their own. They are accustomed to hiding in places that others cannot see, and it is only in such places that they can function to their fullest.
At this moment, Kolori has already exerted her abilities to the limit.
She held her breath, reducing all the sounds she could make to the slightest degree, and at the same time she forced herself to prop herself up, carrying the great sword in her hand on her shoulder, and tiptoeing towards the monster with the slightest step.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, although it had been thinned a lot by the monster's movement just now, but the remaining layer of snow could still allow a person of Kolori's weight to leave a relatively clear footprint. However, Kolori is very clever, and when she stretches her foot, she first pokes her toes into the snow and compacts the snow to make sure it doesn't make any more noise.
This made her move to the lightest degree, plus she had been moving within the range where the monster's vision was inconvenient, so her movements were not detected by the monster at all.
She just moved closer and closer to the monster, and it wasn't until her diminutive body burrowed under the monster that the monster didn't notice her existence at all. At this point, she had almost stretched the limits of a thief's abilities. And if she wants to make a move that can save Hiko and Qiong, then she must rely on the magic sword in her hand and use it to deal a fatal blow to this monster.
This kind of thing seems easy, but it's not that simple. Because Kolori is only a thief after all, it may be difficult for her to wield a giant sword without professional training. And the status of a halfling does not bring her much convenience, but a worse situation.
Halflings are inherently short, and if you let them hold a weapon like a dagger and a dagger, they can train them to be delicate and nimble. But if you want them to use a weapon like the greatsword hammer, then you are deliberately trying to make it difficult for them.
With a height of only one meter and four meters, it was already extremely difficult for Kolori to wield a big sword that was a whole head taller than herself, not to mention that her current physical condition was also very bad. So now she actually only has the power of one blow. And if you want to inflict fatal damage on this monster in one hit, it is obviously very difficult.
After all, this monster is a big man who is close to four meters tall, and his muscles are even fuller. No matter what, such a figure definitely has an extraordinary ability to resist hits. And this point, Hiko has just verified. He attacked so many times, inflicted so many wounds on him and failed to kill him directly, which already shows how tenacious his vitality is, and how thick his body is.
Kolori saw all of this, so she knew very well that she couldn't just launch her own attack. After all, she only had one chance.
And where to attack? Kolori, who felt the monster's breathing that had gradually calmed down, couldn't help but feel anxious. And her mind was constantly thinking about the inherent weaknesses of the creature, and she began to constantly patrol the monster with her eyes, looking for a fatal point that could be attacked.
And soon, she discovers a special place. So immediately, she started to move.
