Chapter 289: So He Died
"Calm down. "Fortunately, there were also male half-dead, and just a few seconds later, when the dagger and one-handed sword were about to be plunged into both bodies at the same time, the male half-dead finally found an opportunity and slammed sideways into his companion's body, causing both attacks to miss out of the way and knocking her away from Pannis's side at the same time. It was only then that the male half-dead breathed a sigh of relief, stood in front of his companion, and turned his back to her and said sternly: "Don't be deceived by him, he obviously deliberately targeted you, the purpose is to provoke you and make you lose your mind, if you really follow his rhythm, I'm afraid there will be no chance to avenge Hull again." ”
"Tsk, that's a pity. Pannis licked the blood dripping to the corners of his mouth, and in the previous few seconds of fierce fighting, the enemy's dagger left a shallow scar on his face, but he didn't even intend to wipe the scars, and said with a regretful face: "It seems that I underestimate you, your combat experience over the years has not improved at all, at least I can reflect that I am deliberately provoking you." ”
"Do you really think of us as idiots?" said the male half-dead man with a sneer, "Nora, you calm down before you go to war, now your mental state is not suitable to continue the plan." ”
"I see. The female half-dead woman, known as Nora, nodded gloomily and retreated back to the front of the altar, as if the closer they were to the altar, the faster the power of death of the two would recover. Nora stopped in front of the altar and said coldly, "Don't worry, don't worry about me, I'll be able to adjust soon." ”
"Hopefully, it does. The male half-dead man's eyes were fixed on Pannis's movements, and he cautiously retreated to the vicinity of the altar, and the two seemed to have made up their minds to suppress Pannis's power with a numerical advantage, so they tried to avoid fighting him alone. I have to admit that this is a very effective tactic. Although Pannis, who had regained his heyday, no longer needed to use an almost self-harming attack method in a one-on-one frontal battle like he had used to fight with Hull, being flanked by two strong enemies also made him feel the depression that Hull once felt on the ice field, and now this battle is almost a repetition of the original battle. It's just that the roles have been reversed, and the other party obviously doesn't intend to give him a chance to reverse this disadvantage in numbers.
"You get it, but I get it too. Pannis didn't seem to be in a hurry at all about the disadvantage in front of him, so he simply put his one-handed sword on his shoulder and said leisurely: "Your cousin, let me probably guess how this ceremony is going on. ”
"Did you guess?" said the male half-dead with a stiff face and a little nervousness, "Do you need to guess too, heh, just kill you." The ritual was completed naturally. ”
"No wonder you chose me as the final sacrifice of your ritual. Pannis didn't pay any attention to what the half-dead said, and said to himself: "I carry the death curse of Danacus on my body, and I have fought him head-on, that is to say, I am most entangled with the world of the dead, and your purpose is to use my soul as a bridge between the two worlds, connecting the world of the dead with the present world." As for the method of connection. I didn't know it before, but now I've figured out what you're up to. Am I right that you are going to use the death curse that is entrenched in me, or my immortal attributes, in order to kill me again and again, rather than killing me completely?"
The two half-dead men looked at each other, as if trying to regain their composure. But he couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that you have studied my fighting methods very well over the years, and know that I don't care how many times I die in order to win. Pannis, who had already received an affirmative answer from the expressions of the half-dead, smiled and said, "Presumably, if I had fought the way before, I would have fallen into your trap." Let me guess, I'm afraid it's only once, as long as I die once, the curse of death in my soul will resonate with Danacus, and his divine power will use the power of ritual to extend this resonance to the present world, planting the seeds of the reopening of the door of death. Of course, after that, you will find a way to kill me repeatedly, and with each killing me, my soul will weaken a little, and the bridge will become stronger until the energy of the Death Curse is completely depleted in resonance, which means that the door of death is completely reopened. ”
"In our plan, you should have attacked recklessly from the start, and we deliberately sent a vague message to Matilda. The male half-dead man said with a straight face: "We deliberately told her that there is a way to consume your death curse, so that you can only be resurrected a few times." We've done a lot of research, and we're finally convinced that once you've learned this information, there's a good chance that we'll use up one of our few resurrection opportunities to fight out one of us, so that we won't run out of energy and die in the endless two-man fights. In order to increase the likelihood that you will do so, we even deliberately let you see that we can extract the power of death from the four of them to replenish our own consumption, precisely to make you understand that there is no chance of a war of attrition. ”
"So, it's really dangerous, I almost fell for it. Pannis put away his smile and said solemnly: "Although you are an enemy, I must also admit that the success rate of your plan is indeed very high, if it weren't for me recovering my original strength in the battle with Fira, I'm afraid that according to your guess, I would have had to exchange death for a chance." ”
"However, even if you regain your original strength, you must have planned to do so in the beginning. The male half-dead man said, "Your appearance is inconsistent, and I would like to know what made you change your original plan?"
"Because I've found a way to break the game without dying. Pannis raised the long sword in his hand again, pointed at Nora beside the male half-dead, and whispered, "As long as I kill her now, I can close the situation, so naturally I don't need to die a few times." ”
"Kill me, are you sure?" Nora exchanged a look with her companion in surprise, "Are you sure you can kill me if you don't dare to take advantage of death?"
"I once said this to a believer in Danacus. Pannis slowly bowed down, like a cheetah that has chosen a target and is ready to pounce at any time, the one-handed sword in his hand is full of strength, his eyes are staring at Nora's body without blinking, and he said slowly in a strong oppressive voice: "But unfortunately, he didn't believe my words, so he died." ”
