Chapter 265: The Death of the Apothecary
The nezumi attack came quickly, and the small space in the workshop made it almost impossible for a safe distance between the cheese and the nezumi. Fighting in such a field, the gap between advantages and disadvantages will only get wider, and even though it is already filled with gray fog, the nezuk's keen sense of smell and hearing is destined to never give the mage a chance to prepare for a counterattack.
Wild beasts in the hunt will not intimidate their prey until their teeth tear the throat of their prey, and those who are true predators will not reveal their intentions. The nezumi species was undoubtedly the same, with the same speed as the first attack, and a near-silent attack creeping in from the mage's right hand. With the location of the bloodstains, the position of the cheese is very conspicuous in the eyes of the nezumi.
"Boom!" slammed the fist into the stone brick floor of the workshop, making a loud noise. However, hitting the floor means that this attack is empty? How is this possible! The nezumi looked at the ground it had hit in confusion, and from the bloody shoe prints on the ground, it was obvious that there were traces of someone half-squatting here, so where did the mage who was supposed to squat here go?
"Tick, tick, tick" drops of blood, falling from the nezumi's front and smashing into the stone bricks, splattering ruby-like debris. The beast tilted its head to look at the scene in front of it, wondering what the blood that fell from the sky meant. At this moment, a blast came from the back of the nezu-man! This unprepared attack caused the huge beast to involuntarily take two steps forward before it stopped.
And cheese, that's what you want. The mage who fell from the ceiling raised his right hand to the back of the nezumi, and the magic in his eyes broke through the barrier of his flesh and burst out of his sockets! As a spellcaster, Cheese can freely cast spells through his own body parts, and in this case, the freshly shed blood is also a usable material.
Powerful magic called for the blood of the mages scattered on the ground, and they began to become viscous and stretchy, and a drop of blood turned into an extremely thin blood line under the manipulation of the magic. The blood threads climbed swiftly along the feet of the nezumi who stepped on them, and in an instant they were all over the beast's body. Feeling that the blood line was in place, Cheese did not hesitate to detonate the blood outside his body, and the strong smell of blood and the rush of heat exploded in the workshop with the rat man in the center.
The beast was confused. It's not because of the pain coming from the surface of the body, these pains are the same as the electric shock just now, and they don't hurt or itch for it. It was confused because it really didn't understand why Cheese had gone to such great lengths just to attack himself with this level of spell. But it didn't matter, the nezumi raised his hand and wiped the bloody footprints on the wall that he had just overlooked, and the battle had become boring.
"You, very much, I, disappointed. "The fact that a body that has been invaded by the energy of the evil god can speak again is honestly quite surprising to the mage. But now was not the time to dwell on that, after detonating his own blood, Cheese ran towards the workbench with all his strength, where Ciel's body was still lying there, and under the doctor's body, there was a large amount of poisonous potion.
The gray fog faded at some point, and when the mage ran to the workbench, the gray robes were already draped over him again. Cheese gasped for breath and secretly decided that he must exercise his body well when he had the chance, or use some method to strengthen his muscles.
hand, touched the potion on the table. Feeling the pain coming from his palm, a smile appeared on the corner of the mage's mouth. He knew he had won. The nezumi on the other side didn't know what Cheese was laughing at, and although the mage had managed to buy himself time to reach the workbench, it didn't help the battle in the eyes of the beast. The potions on the table together will not cause it more damage than Si's spells.
However, given that the battle was no longer interesting in the eyes of the nezumi, it decided to end it quickly. The massive body once again charged in front of the mage, but this time, Cheese had no intention of dodging.
"There are two sides to everything. The mage's words were soft, but they were loud enough in a workshop where there were only three creatures.
"Birth and destruction are two sides of things, but these two poles are always connected. ”
"A warrior who wields the blade is doomed to die by the sword, and the seedlings that grow from the ashes will eventually turn to ashes. ”
"The same is true for potions. ”
The nezumi wouldn't give Cheese time to finish those words. So there was only one reason why Cheese was able to finish these words, and he subdued the beast. As the nezumi rushed to the mage's side, Cheese aimed his free left hand at the other's abdomen, though this level of resistance seemed meaningless to the beast. It doesn't change its actions because of that. The nezumi's left and right hands slapped off the sides of the mage's head as if they were about to give a high-five, and if this was done, the cheese's head would turn into an exploding watermelon.
The exploding watermelon couldn't speak, so the two thick arms finally stopped. And what stopped them was the other arm, the cheese's arm. There was not much muscle in this thin arm, and if he had to say it, he might have a stronger arm than even a long rough worker, let alone a warrior. But it was such an arm, and now it was like a sharp sword, deep, deep into the beast's chest.
"Why, what?" muttered the nezumi as he looked down at the arm that penetrated his body. It can feel its life passing by quickly.
"It's actually very simple, I realized that the reason why you are stronger is not because your physical body is really strengthened. Cheese heard the beast's words, and regardless of whether this explanation was necessary for a dying man, he said to himself, "You know, even if a real giant is in front of me, he will have to convulsion for a long time after being struck by my lightning." But you were almost unscathed, as if I had chopped a stone, which was unnatural. ”
"Based on this, I realized that your enhancement was entirely due to the potions you drank. In other words, it's the magic in the potion that strengthens you, and your bulging muscles are just balloons held up by the power of the potion, not real at all. ”
With that, Cheese pulled his left arm out of the nezumi's chest, and the nezumi couldn't help but kneel, and the ugly head stared at the same height as the mage because of its height. The beast's body began to dry up like a leaky ball, and soon, the emaciated nezumi reappeared in front of the mage.
"And then it's easy. Since your power comes from magic, I don't have to treat you like a real creature. You're just like those energy creatures, and all I need to do is analyze the source of your energy, find a way to crack it, and finally adjust my magic to my hands, and that's it. ”
"But ......" the nezumi tried to say something, but the blood gushing from its throat prevented it from speaking. But Cheese had already guessed what the other party meant.
"You want to say that your power comes from a high-level existence, and I shouldn't have the ability to destroy it at all?" the mage shook his head, "Unfortunately, I also know one of such high-ranking existences. ”
