Chapter 512: Stronghold No. 3
"Your Highness, are you alright?" After striking another hard blow and completely eliminating Adrien, who was trying to fight back, Morse looked at Kara, whose breath fluctuated and her face was extremely ugly, and asked with concern.
Although in the battle just now, Kara showed combat power that was close to the peak of the gold rank, directly destroying most of the vitality of Adrian, a shadow hunter of the gold rank, but as a veteran gold rank assassin, Morse could clearly feel the weakness of Kara's fighting spirit. Obviously, the price Kara paid to kill the traitor Adrien was probably quite staggering. Coupled with the source of the burning fighting qi before, and the injuries caused by Bella's spell hit, Kara's situation is probably very bad.
"Forcibly unsealed the source of the fighting spirit that was just suppressed, this time I'm afraid I will really lose the ability of the assassin. Kara sat on the ground with a pale face, took a bottle of powerful healing potion first, and then said helplessly.
During the previous decisive battle with Lila, although Kara ignited the source of his fighting spirit in order to burst out of his strongest combat power, the situation at that time was not irreparable. Kara has a secret method to suppress the source of fighting energy, as long as after the battle, Kara can suppress the burning of the source of fighting energy and retain part of the foundation of the assassin profession. In the future, as long as she obtains the divine grace of the spider queen, Kara can still restore her strength as an assassin.
But what Kara didn't expect was that the development of the battle situation was completely beyond her expectations. Not only did he not kill Lila and gain divine grace, but he was severely injured by Bella, and the power of death of the other party remained in his body. And not long after he used the secret method to suppress the source of Douqi, he was betrayed by Adrien again, and had to unseal the source of Douqi again, and use the power of Douqi to attack and kill the other party.
And after going through the process of igniting, sealing, and igniting again, the source of Kara's fighting spirit has been completely damaged. Even if the source of the fighting spirit is sealed again, there is basically no hope of full recovery in the future.
"I made a mistake this time, I shouldn't have brought Adrien directly to look for His Highness. Hearing Kara's answer, Morse said in annoyance.
As a veteran Gold-tier master, the well-informed Morse certainly understands Kara's situation. If it weren't for the battle with Adrian, Kara's injuries would still be manageable, but after this battle, unless the spider queen descended to the top of the divine grace, Kara basically had no chance to have the assassin profession again.
And Adrian, who betrayed Kara, was brought by Morse himself. Without Morse leading the way, Adrien would not have been able to find Kara's location, so this time it was Morse who harmed Kara. In Morse's mind, if he had been more cautious and had not taken Adrien with him, but had come to Kara alone, the situation might have been completely different.
"You can't be blamed for that. At that time, if you rejected Adrien, I am afraid that he would directly defect to Bella's side, and even attack you secretly. Kara shook her head and calmly comforted: "Since he chose to betray at this time, it means that he has no intention of helping us in the same boat, and is just speculating." Seeing our situation, he will betray sooner or later. It's better to reveal it earlier than to be sold by him after going out. ”
In fact, Kara had previously calmly shown her weakness in front of Morse and the others, and even lied that she had lost her assassin powers, which in itself was a test of Morse and Adrian's loyalty. After all, in this situation, Kara doesn't dare to trust anyone easily, let alone let anyone with the slightest half-hearted follow her.
And it turns out that although Carla's temptation is very costly, it is still very meaningful, at least it leads to Adrian, a half-hearted person. Adrian's early betrayal certainly made Kara's injury recur and the situation more difficult, but after all, he was solved in this shelter, and the news was not passed on, and the situation still had room to turn around. If Adrien betrays him outside the Vault, then Kara's whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be impossible to deal with Hilt and them again.
"Thank you Your Highness for your understanding. So what do we do next?" Morse was relieved to see that Kara's expression had regained his composure, and he asked.
In fact, after the initial panic, Morse also sensed Kara's thoughts, and knew that Kara was testing the two of them before. However, Morse had no guilt in his heart, so he did not have any aversion to this temptation. On the contrary, through this temptation, Morse was sure that Kara was not defeated by the previous defeat, and his mind was not flustered, but he had a little more confidence in his heart.
"Go to the third stronghold we set up earlier. Carla said with a resolute expression.
"Stronghold No. 3, Your Highness, are you trying to ambush Hilt?" Morse was slightly stunned, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Because they got the news from Hilt in advance, Kara and Morse rushed to the Tooth Forest and made some arrangements before the Phantom's core masters collectively set out. The Phantom's killer was able to hide not too far from the trading location in advance, and evaded Lira's search and perception, which was the result of Kara's advance arrangement.
In addition to arranging ambushes, Kara and Morse also made several arrangements in the depths of the Chaotic Tooth Forest. Like the place where Kara is hiding now, it is the hidden stronghold that was arranged before. There are still three or four similar strongholds, all of which are very hidden space bubbles, and special anti-reconnaissance and perception circles are arranged inside. It is not very close to be detected by a master, and it is difficult to be discovered by outsiders.
In addition to these hidden strongholds, Kara and Morse also set up a special stronghold in a dangerous place that they accidentally discovered, which is what Kara calls the third stronghold. The spatial conditions inside this stronghold are extremely complex, and it can naturally become a trap for ambushing others. Now Kara has chosen to go there, apparently ready to fight back.
"Yes! I have the residual strength of Bella in my body, and it's hard to really hide my tracks. So if we don't kill Hilter, we won't be able to escape from the Tooth Forest. Carla said firmly, "We have to get rid of him before we have a chance of winning." ”
The power of death left in Bella's body is both an obstacle to Kara's recovery from her injuries and a coordinate that Hilter uses to track. So even if she could use her assassin skills right now, it would be impossible for Kara to escape from Hilt and escape from the Tooth Forest. In this case, if Kara wants to turn the tables, he can only fight to the death and find a way to solve Hilt first.
"Then I'll be the bait and lure Hilt over. ”
"No, Morse, you go to ambush, I'll be the bait!"
