Chapter 252: Betrayal
Lance looked at his teammate who suddenly made a move with a blank expression, the three of them were teammates, partners, and best friends who entrusted life and death, but why did such a close friend now want to kill him with a cold face?
Soros, who is calmer and clearer than Lance, asked quietly, holding his wounds.
"Why?"
Now that the other party has been killed, it proves that all feelings and fetters have become a thing of the past, so at this moment, the best friend forgets the feelings of the past is the hope of survival.
Soros and Jonathan are fine for the time being because they have weapons to plug their wounds, but Lance's bleeding is dangerous, and it ...... if they don't hurry up and rescue them.
"Why?"
Repeating Soros's words, Chuck looked disdainful and said something completely irrelevant.
"Do you know how I feel? Not only will I not be able to fight you in such a frontier place, but I will have to lurk around you for years because of the Brotherhood's orders! If I hadn't stumbled upon these treasures, I would have to stay with you inferior brutes. ”
After yelling as if venting, Chuck slowly calmed down, picked a corner of himself, carefully took the bottle of potion from Soros's hand, and held it in the palm of his hand like a treasure to observe.
"What a beautiful color, a legendary treasure that can make people immortal, as long as I have this treasure, I will not only be able to return to the Brotherhood, but also gain power that I never dared to think of before. ”
Tightening the potion into his arms, Chuck asked with a smile.
"So, now you know what I'm feeling?"
It seemed that Chuck really wanted to ask this question, but Soros cared about other details of Chuck's words.
"Is the Brotherhood ...... the Shadow Brotherhood? ”
When it comes to fraternity, the easiest thing to think of is this infamous shadow that is not hidden in the dark.
"It's the Brotherhood of Shadows, and I didn't think of this because you had a nimble mind, but because I deliberately revealed it. ”
With that, Chuck found a place to sit down, obviously able to kill a few people at once, but still looked like he was going to have a good talk first.
"First of all, I just want to complain to you because I haven't been able to breathe so happily for too long, if you expect me to spare you with my old feelings, then you are really stupid beyond help. ”
Soros sat up staggeringly, his movements very difficult because of the wound.
"It's not just that. ”
At such critical moments, Soros's qualities as the best of adventurers are reflected, whether it is in the face of the sudden betrayal of his teammates or the crisis of dying at any time, he is not in a hurry, and always keeps himself within the scope of sanity.
"You deliberately avoided the key points when attacking, but chose a position where we could slowly die of heavy bleeding, and you also smeared the knife with a debilitating poison, you didn't intend to talk to us, right?"
It is common sense that a threat should be eliminated as soon as possible, even if it is small, and Chuck did not act on common sense, which is enough to say a lot.
"Oh, that's sharp, is this the experience of an adventurer? Unfortunately, I'm not an adventurer, and even if it takes a few years, I can't be as sharp as you. ”
Chuck smiled absently.
"You're right, the latest order I received is to find out what the exiled princess and the border nobles are up to, and recently this princess who is good for nothing but her appearance has been very unusual, and even the Brotherhood can't have specific information, otherwise I would have killed this brainless young master. ”
Glancing at Edward with a malicious look, Chuck sneered, as if he was very disdainful of Edward.
"Of course, it's okay for you to tell me if you, who are close to the little master, but before that, let's talk about the friendship over the past few years. ”
"Do you think it's possible?"
Soros smiled.
"Putting aside the fact that I know it or not, since you've said so much that you shouldn't have said, you won't be able to live even if I tell you all the things you want to know, right?"
Chuck is not in a hurry, in his opinion, this is already a sure thing, and he is also confident that he can pry Soros's mouth open, and even if Soros fails here, isn't there a more critical Edward.
"Yes, then so be it, if you can tell me, then with the **** bad love for a few years, I will let you die without pain, I don't think you want to try the torture of the Shadow Brotherhood, right?"
The torture of the Brotherhood of Shadows, which is said to be the most brutal torture that can only be done by villains who have rejected human nature, is indeed terrifying, and Soros does not intend to test its authenticity for himself, but this does not mean that he can only surrender.
"The friendship of several years was said to be '**** is not as good', which really hurts my heart. ”
Suddenly, Soros laughed.
"But what hurts me even more is that you haven't gotten to know your teammates and opponents for years. Also, as a killer, you're talking too much!!"
With that, Soros pulled out the scimitar stuck in his abdomen with lightning speed, and the knife spun in his hand and stabbed Chuck in the neck.
Soros never told anyone that he had an ability, an ability that was hidden as a killer feature.
It was an ability to heal wounds slowly, and it was impossible to heal wounds quickly or to replenish lost blood and stamina, but it was more than enough to deal with some toxins, and most importantly, even if you were seriously injured, you could gain mobility for a short time.
Just like now, because of carelessness and arrogance, he left both weapons at the same time, and even if he was injured in this situation, Soros was confident that he would take Chuck.
Bang!
Just as Soros's knife approached Chuck's neck, there were two muffled sounds.
"Goo?!"
Soros, who was suddenly attacked, fell to his knees with a blank expression, completely unaware of what was happening, the only thing he knew was that something shot into his shoulders and thighs at a very fast speed, and the attack that did not look like an impact instantly robbed him of his ability to move.
"Do you think I'm really so careless? Fool, use your brains a little, that's why you're always so clever and stupid, that you provoke those monsters to be unhappy. ”
Chuck remembered the fear he felt that day under the monster named Hekate in the skin of a little girl, and for the first time after Chuck received the Brotherhood's physical modification, he felt that height, a height that was beyond the reach of humans, a height that would only be swallowed up by despair even if he stretched out his hand.
