Chapter 152: Don't Leave When You Come
As night fell, the lights at 14 Ronning Street were finally turned off at half past ten.
After another two hours, when the campus fell silent, the group quietly walked nearby.
They hadn't been crouching at the door of Ivus before.
The demonic scholars didn't even deliberately hide somewhere, they just went into a bar and drank until now.
No one would have imagined that four drunken drunks would pose any threat β and it wasn't their first time, but they had been drinking and playing cards almost every day for the past week or so. I've even gotten acquainted with some of the students.
Only this time is different.
After they left the bar, they found a small alley and used the half-arranged decanting ceremony to dispel their drinking.
"Ready to do it."
As the leader of the team, it was a blonde man with a big back, a white suit, and a lawyer.
He said in a deep voice, "Jim, you go and set up the curse." Brydon, you go cut his phone line. Perrault and I set up a ritual to summon the two of us demons first. Then the two of you come over again and summon your demon dogs. β
"Are you sure you just need the Curse of Sleep?"
Jim, the shortest and youngest of all, asked rhetorically, "The Curse of Sleep can nest the Curse of Weakness...... Didn't you say that the lame man was superb in swordsmanship? I still think that the Curse of Sleep nests the Curse of Weakness, and one more Suffocation Curse can kill him. It's safest, and we're going to be able to go there. β
"I'm sure."
The team leader replied with great certainty: "If only he was the only one in that Moriarty's dormitory...... And his maid and his sister. With three people, the power of the curse will already be much thinner. So they can't sleep too deeply.
"And the curse of weakness makes people realize that they are cursed. If one of them is a light sleeper, he may wake up with a sudden feeling of powerlessness and wake the others up with him. Don't do it too much, Jim. More curses are not always better. β
"Then ...... else"
Jim spoke again, "Or we can finish the curse and put gas in his bedroom." In this way, no one will even realize that he was killed, and it is possible to think that he was poisoned by gas...... That way we won't be officially tracked down. β
"Do you think that the dormitory where the eldest young master lives is the same as your little broken house?"
Fat Perrault sneered: "How is it possible that his bedroom is connected to the kitchen? You don't use your brains either. β
ββ¦β¦ I'm just feeling a little uneasy, Mentor. β
Jim whispered, "Isn't it going to go a little too well?" β
The team leader shook his head: "It went smoothly because we were well prepared, and it had nothing to do with him." You're thinking too much. β
After about half an hour, the preparation is almost complete.
The Curse of Sleep has been properly applied, the telephone lines have been severed, and both demons and two demon dogs have been summoned.
Although Jim was a little uneasy.
But the team leader felt that it was only because he was too timid as an apprentice.
Jim was only sixteen years old, a little younger than Ivus, whom they were trying to assassinate. He didn't graduate from high school, but came out to join the gang. Because he is very clever, he was favored by Lloyd's, and because he had the adaptability to transcend the path, he became the apprentice of the team leader.
Powerful demon scholars are always accompanied by their apprentices.
Curses and rituals are in a sense very similar to cooking - there is not much time actually spent on cooking, and the most time-wasting part is the preparation of the ingredients and the cleaning afterwards. And these apprentices are specially designed to do these meaningless repetitive tasks in place of their mentors.
It's the equivalent of helping the cook.
But the team leader didn't really like Jim.
Demon scholars usually have a little bit of a presumptuous mentality that has no taboos in them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get promoted. And Jim is too timid, he always predicts things pessimistically...... At the beginning, the team leader will pay a little attention, maybe this kid is actually a fit to adapt to the path, how much did he say a little prophetic?
But many times in a row, Jim's prediction didn't happen. The team leader finally determined that he was simply too cowardly.
- Are they not cautious enough?
An ambush was carried out a week in advance, and four transcendents were mobilized, two of whom were third-level elites. There are also extremely powerful Blade Demons who can fight head-on against fourth-level transcendents, and Whip Demons, who can assist Blade Demons. They also cast a curse on Eivus in advance, and cut off all contact with the outside worldβ
For transcendents who only have the first level and dedication path, the team leader feels that he is ridiculously cautious.
That is, because Ivas is the person who can kill the deformity demon in an instant, he will pay so much attention to the other party.
Although Eivas himself is not strong, he is a member of the Moriarty family after all. The extraordinary items in his hand are very powerful, and there may be other items in his possession......
So their plan was to use the curse to put Ivus into a state of unwake-up slumber and then infiltrate it to assassinate him.
Ivas has class tomorrow. Then at one o'clock in the morning, he must have slept by this time.
Now that he was asleep, he didn't realize that he had fallen under the Sleeping Curse. That would only make him sleep more deeply and soundly, and even if he had a thief go straight into his house and remove everything he could, he would never wake up.
If all goes well, then it's best to get it with one shot. This will look more like a killer who has mastered the curse technique, and it will not be easy to investigate a few of them.
And these demons they carry are only used to fight against ambushes, helpers, and bodyguards who may be hidden.
It's a pity.
The team leader thought to himself.
This time it was an away game after all, and many of the ritual props he had prepared could not be used. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to be so careful.
For example, a cursed baby made from a cursed baby can deliver a powerful blow that is sure to hit someone's heart. Nightmare Visions made from the scalp of a person suffering from migraines can cause someone to go crazy with uncontrollable intense pain; The [Zombie Lure] made from the hanged old man can make everyone around him be attacked by the cold and move more slowly......
These are consumable items that allow him to leapfrog and kill other Path Transcendents.
However, because they must be kept in a specific environment, they cannot be used in this type of raid battle.
Or rather, it is precisely because these ritual props he relies on cannot be used that the team leader is so cautious.
Because once you get used to the power of using ritual materials made by your kindred, you will feel extremely uncomfortable when you leave it. I felt like I was suddenly weak...... Even if this "feeling of weakness" is your true level.
Just as the thief-turned-Briden picked the door lock, Jim, who was looking around, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "What's that, firefly?" β
"That's supposed to be some kind of butterfly."
The fat man Perrault hugged his chest with his hands and commented: "It's a pity, it would be nice if you brought a net bag." Looks like this thing should be worth a lot of money. β
"Jim, be attentive......"
The team leader said angrily.
But at this moment, he unconsciously looked up and suddenly saw the butterfly flying slowly towards them.
It's so beautiful, and it drags the stars as it flies.
It's like a scale powder.
The leader suddenly raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the butterfly.
He didn't utter a word, he didn't even consume mana. The butterfly, which was as beautiful as a spark, seemed to be pierced by some dark and invisible thing, split in half, and suddenly extinguished.
He smiled smugly and pleasantly.
It's not because the butterfly has any meaning, it's just because he destroys something beautiful and takes pleasure in it.
"The Teacher's Curse is Really Powerful......"
Jim flattered.
Perrault shook his head with some pity: "It looks quite valuable, you don't need to curse it." β
"What kind of valuable goods can a butterfly fly in the city?"
The team leader asked rhetorically, "At most, it's the one who escaped from the school laboratory...... That also means you can't resell it. Just curse and kill it. β
Pointing at people, this is the simplest curse.
When someone is pointing behind your back with your hand, you sometimes feel a certain sharpness; It's the same feeling as being pointed at with the tip of a knife.
The third path trait [Damaging Curse] held by the team leader is a very powerful purple path trait.
He can inflict physical damage on all curses he inflicts - which is why he has his apprentices curse their targets. For if he personally arranges the Sleeping Curse, then it will become a nightmare curse, and it will be easier to wake up others; If he uses the Poison Food Curse, in addition to corrosive damage, he can also inflict a faint cut on the esophagus; And if you use the Curse of Dirty Blood, it will cause the opponent's uterus to bleed constantly.
He even needs to make his target feel like he has been stabbed with a knife and bleeding profusely.
The damage is not very high. Healthy ordinary people have to be pointed at by him forty or fifty times before they die of blood loss.
He personally tried this number.
When the team leader had just obtained this path characteristic, he killed many people with a curse in the Lloyd's area, and only then did he summarize the law of this path characteristic.
After all, he could only see the unexplained words of [Damaging Curse: All Curses Can Hurt People]. You have to try it yourself.
But this kind of thing will not be too much trouble for him.
It's like a child gets a fun toy β what happens when the curses he is familiar with are attached to this property? He was intrigued by this and experimented accordingly.
It is this unbridled heart that takes pleasure in harming others with extraordinary power that allows him to successfully summon and tame the Blade Demon.
But at this moment, the corner of the leader's eyes suddenly noticed a flash of fire.
In the dark of night, it looks so bright.
He looked back and saw that it was indeed a fire in the airβthe butterflies he had broken before, had been reborn in the flames from a position close to them after falling!
As the butterfly slowly flies towards Jim, and Jim reaches out curiously to catch it.
The team leader's face suddenly changed, and he felt a strong sense of crisis. He leaped forward, rolling to the side in embarrassment.
Like him, it was the fat Perrault who felt bad, but his body was too bloated and clumsy. I wanted to escape, but I couldn't.
When Jim touched the butterfly, a blazing flame suddenly spread in all directions with the butterfly as the center, forming a huge fireball with a radius of about three meters.
The fireball didn't explode, but swirled, swallowing Jim and Perrault into it, tugging at them so they couldn't leave. Their terrible screams burst out through the flames and rang out in the silence of the night.
"-What the hell?!"
The team leader's face suddenly changed greatly.
In the next moment, the bodies of a demon dog and a whipping demon suddenly became blurred. Gradually collapsing and disintegrating at a rate visible to the naked eye - this is the phenomenon of eviction caused by the death of the contractor.
In just one face, Jim and Perrault were engulfed in flames. That's all for Jim, but Perrault, a third-level person, shouldn't have died in such a place for no reason - he was completely killed by Jim!
Only he, who had avoided the butterfly, and Brydon, who was picking the lock, survived.
At this moment, the same butterfly flew towards him again.
The team leader did not hesitate this time, condensed a cloud of dark magic balls that were bubbling with an eerie cold air, and launched them directly.
It shattered the butterfly again......
But this time, the leader could see clearly, and after the butterfly was crushed, it was soon reborn in the flames. The leader shattered it again with a different spell, and it was reborn.
What the hell is this?!
The leader became extremely jealous, he had never heard of this ability.
"It's open, it's open!"
Brydon shouted in joy and pulled the door open.
"Go in and hide!"
The team leader said without hesitation.
But the next moment, Brydon let out an exclamation and ran out.
But as the gunshots rang out, he was shot in the calf and fell to his knees with a scream.
As the door opened.
Evas, who was supposed to be asleep, walked out slowly with a dangerous smile on his face.
His left hand is behind his back, while his right hand is placed in front of him, bent naturally. A flaming butterfly stood silently at the tip of his middle finger.
"It's coming, guest ......"
Aihuas smiled and said, "Since you're here, don't go, right?" β
An hour ahead of schedule, the update is complete!
