Volume 1: The Maiden and the White Dragon Chapter 49: The Temperature of Death
Fortunately, the other party did not rush directly to him, and it was thanks to the other party's caution and the favor of the god of luck that his plan worked.
This hall was originally a treasure hall, and there was a treasure chest inside, and of course the treasure inside had been taken by Chrissy when she explored this hall a few months ago.
Originally, Chrissy had no plan to defeat or even kill Assadi, she just wanted to use the complex terrain of the maze to escape.
Most of the mechanisms in the labyrinth itself are not deadly, and even the weapons held by the undead warriors in the hidden corridor in front of them are simple blunt weapons or unbladed swords, and as soon as the challenger leaves the corridor, the undead warriors will return to the mural.
After all, these are all trial facilities for the internal use of the Lanyeer family.
It's all your own people, so there's no need to die.
The trap crossbow is one of the traps left in the hall, and she saw it when Chrissy first came to the hall.
This is the most lethal weapon Chrissy has encountered in the labyrinth.
However, when Chrissy first saw the machine bed crossbow, it was not loaded with matching bolts, but was placed very casually behind the low wall.
Judging by this, this small machine bed crossbow should simply be the debris that has been moved here.
It is likely that his casual ancestors bought it on a whim, and then found that it was not suitable, so they threw it away in this corner of garbage.
The spear that had just been fired was a stone spear taken from the stone soldier in the hall.
Unlike the castle, the stone soldiers in the hall of the dark tunnel, Chrissy couldn't figure out if it was a magic puppet that could be manipulated, so she made the best use of one of the weapons and directly used one of them as ammunition.
In the danger just now, this machine bed crossbow has been half scrapped due to its age. Dolma was able to restore his attack performance by dismantling some of his own metal parts and repairing them.
Before the machine bed crossbow can be repaired, Chrissy must use words to stall for time.
It is a good thing to be cautious about the enemy, and Asadi probably would not have imagined that this characteristic of himself would also be exploited.
Before, if he had rushed forward directly, Chrissy would have been more than lucky.
So Chrissy could only gamble, but fortunately, her life should not be extinguished, and the other party was really fooled.
"Dolma, we'll ...... now"
Chrissy smiled and turned around to call Dolma to leave together, but before the word "go back" could be spoken, a terrifying killing force suddenly locked on her.
"Miss!Be careful!!"
"Huh?!"
Call!!
A huge black shadow appeared behind Chrissy with a biting gust of wind, and the shadow of death completely enveloped the girl's delicate body in an instant.
"Die!"
The silver-haired demon roared in rage and swept a sharp claw towards her neck......
Die.......
Is it far away from me?
Chrissy didn't really have a specific concept of death, after all, she was only fourteen years old, and it was too early to think about such a thing.
It is said in the book that when God created all beings, he found that if all beings continue to multiply, both new and old, the world created by God will eventually be unable to accommodate them, so they set the end of "death" for all beings.
Since all beings die, this is an important and unshakable law.
For this reason, one of the seven gods became the god in charge of death, and this is the well-known god of death.
All living beings have their own longevity, and when it comes to welcoming death, no amount of money and power can be exchanged for the death reaper.
And what kind of concept is death?
Is it the cessation of the pulse, the severance of thoughts, or the simple slumber of closing one's eyes?
Chrissy didn't figure it out, and even if she looked at the words in the book and the conjectures of the afterlife, she had no concept of death.
She hadn't really seen anyone die, and she hadn't ever done anything to end any living beings.
Of course, she had to take action to protect herself lately, but besides, Chrissy couldn't remember who she had hurt.
Even in her memory, it was a ball-tailed rat curled up under a tree with a stiff body.
Seeing the ball-tailed rat, who was supposed to be standing at the top of the treetops and eating his favorite nuts with his companions, lying alone on a dead leaf, surprised Chrissy, who was only five years old and had just read and hyphenated, and when she got closer, she found that her fluffy hair had faded, and some of it had simply fallen off to reveal its pale skin.
Squatting down and taking a closer look, I found that there were insects and ants crawling on its fur.
Terrible, really terrible.
Chrissy was indeed terrible at the time, but she only sighed, and curiosity brought her closer.
It was the first time she had seen a corpse in its original form that had not been brought to the table and had not been treated with knives and axes.
She tried to touch the tiny corpse with her index finger, it was cold, and there was no body temperature.
Of course, it's a corpse.
It is said in the book that the corpse has no blood flow, and the organs are no longer functioning, just like a broken stove, it is cold.
"Huh!"
But it didn't feel like touching a broken stove, and as soon as she touched it, she immediately withdrew her hand, as if she had just been electrocuted.
Young Chrissy fell backwards, her hands on the ground, panicked and quickly distanced herself from the remains of the little beast, her watery amber eyes full of fear.
Why was I so scared then?
It was too long ago to happen, and she was too young to remember what was going on at the time.
All she remembered was that she immediately went back and asked Dolma for a small shovel, and with Dolma she dug a small pit around the ball-tailed mouse, buried it in it, and then placed a stone and a few freshly picked berries beside the little grave.
Now that I think about it, I was really cute at that time, and now I don't have any touch on these things.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature.
Chrissy doesn't remember reading this in that book, but any book that deals with philosophy has to be mentioned more or less anyway.
In short, slowly, Chrissy, who became more and more knowledgeable, also thought:
Death is not an uncommon thing, and there is no need for fuss.
So when she faced these killers, she always muttered in her heart, "It's a big deal, it's a big deal".
However.......
"Die!"
The demon's claws were sweeping toward her neck.
This is a real killing move, the other party didn't want to keep her hand, with the power of this demon, the possibility of her head in a different place has overflowed.
Now that real death was about to befall her, Chrissy knew very well what she was going to do, she should move as much as she could, as long as she could, maybe she would be able to escape the range of this blow.
But...... The body can't move.
As if her joints were frozen, Chrissy found herself unable to make any movements.
Why?
Didn't the stone spear just now kill him?
If even the final killer weapon has no effect, then isn't it meaningless for me to resist below?
Rather than being captured by this demon and suffering humiliation, it is better to use his current angry blow to end his life in a painful way.
This is now... Optimal solution.
Thinking of this, Chrissy relaxed her tense nerves and closed her eyes.
