Chapter 175 Death Knell "He, he's dead—"...

damage?

A buzzing sound rang in her head, and Cecilia opened the system page eagerly.

Most of the special items in the backpack turned gray, and the dull color meant that they could not be used.

The other items don’t matter, but what about the bear?

If it is damaged, will the bear really——

[It has been detected that the player's special item has been damaged by illegal means and is temporarily unusable. The system has lifted the magic restriction for the player "Cesia" for one hour.]

The system's broadcast was still an emotionless mechanical voice, but that long string of words only amplified the "temporary" volume.

Was this a hint from the black cat, telling her that all this was only temporary and that the little bear still had a chance to recover...

Cecia calmed herself down and turned her attention back to Boris.

"Now, you can't use anything, right?"

Boris narrowed his eyes and turned a few corners with pleasure. "Are you still going to resist?"

Gray-black pollution overflowed from his body, gradually forming a blurry human figure, like a puppet made of mud, staggering towards Cecilia.

But before it could get close, two humans hugged it and completely purified it.

“Tsk.”

Boris frowned and raised his hand suddenly.

The animal corpses lying on the ground were injected with pollution by him, and they stood up again and entangled with humans.

To ensure that they would not become empty shells again, Boris needed to continue injecting pollution. Although he was able to pin down the humans, he was unable to spare the excess pollution for attack.

"Without those annoying flies, we can finally talk one-on-one."

He walked forward slowly, closing the distance between him and Cecia.

"Hill, do you have to be so embarrassed? We were childhood playmates. You are my first and only friend."

Boris forced a false smile on his face, and the magical fluctuations around him revealed his true thoughts.

"If you want, I can spare you the life of you. I can even leave you a small area that will not be polluted. You can live there forever."

"Go to hell and dream your sweet dreams!"

With the magic restrictions lifted, Cecia's magic power surged, and she seized the opportunity to punch forward.

The sharp fist wind was attached with magical flames, and the scorching temperature brushed across Boris' cheek, leaving a burn mark.

"Magic? How can you use magic?"

The calm mask on his face shattered, his gray-blue pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a few steps back to increase the distance between the two of them.

"If you can use it, why can't I?"

Cecia raised her eyebrows and gave a nasty smile, "Or do you only take advantage of others' misfortunes and get scared when the conditions are equal?"

Hearing her provocation, Boris's expression became extremely ugly, and the feeling of ease he had before disappeared, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Now, let's have a fair fight."

After saying that, she kicked Boris in the head without giving him time to react.

There was a sinister flash in the other person's eyes, but he didn't dodge or evade, and was kicked by her anyway.

Squeak.

A strange touch came from her legs, and she saw that the place where Boris was originally was replaced by a pool of mud. The sticky stuff attached to her legs, hindering her movement.

What kind of weird magic is this? She has never seen it before!

Cecia immediately retracted her attack, but the mud was like a cancer that entangled her calves and could not be evaporated even by fire.

Boris's methods are just like his real self, disgusting and difficult to deal with...

The other person hid not far away and kept a distance from her, and his cautious look made people laugh.

She didn't rush to remove the restraints, but sneered.

"Why, without the pollution you can't do anything? Do you want me to give you a chance? If you run away like a stray dog ​​with your tail between your legs, I can still spare your life."

“…”

Boris didn't say anything, but the murderous intent in his eyes became more obvious. However, he was afraid of her power and only dared to attack from a distance.

A guy with no ambition.

She tore off her trouser legs that were stuck with mud, and before the other party could react, she concentrated her magic on his legs and approached him at high speed.

The tiny flame condensed at the fingertips and pierced straight into the opponent's heart.

Boris's face changed, but he had no time to dodge, so he could only condense an ice blade with his pitcher to deflect the attack.

The flame hit his left shoulder, and the piercing pain spread throughout his body through his blood vessels. The gray-black pollution was drawn out of the animal's body, gathered at his wound, and quickly repaired his body.

Pollution can actually be treated...

Cecia attacked again without stopping, but was blocked by the opponent's raised ice wall.

When the ice wall shattered, the pollution repaired its wounds and he returned to his peak form.

If this continues, it will be very disadvantageous to her.

She doesn't know healing magic and can't recover in battle, but Boris can mobilize pollution treatment at any time.

If it's a protracted war, she will be worn out to death... She must make a fatal blow.

She attacked it multiple times to consume it while observing and thinking of a solution.

In terms of the ability to remove pollution, Boris's magic is only slightly stronger than Will's. Moreover, he also has the same characteristics as other vampires -

He is good at magic, but he is weak and lacks physical strength.

The demons were used to close combat, and she had been fighting in the arena since she was a child, so she had much more combat experience than Boris, who was pampered among the nobles.

Therefore, as long as she sticks close to Boris, she will always find an opportunity...

Half an hour later, the battle had reached a climax.

Both sides looked in a very miserable state. Although Boris was able to repair his wounds, the amount of physical strength and magic consumed was enormous.

If the pollution can be controlled for a long time, there will be no one to restrain humans and they will join the battlefield to help Cecilia block the attack.

As for Cecia, she still had plenty of energy, but she had several wounds cut by the ice blades. Even though they were only flesh wounds, they still affected her speed.

There's no time left, it's time to end this...

Seeing that there were only a dozen minutes left to use the magic, Cecia let out a breath, and a fierce light flashed in her scarlet eyes.

After several rounds of fighting, she had a rough idea of ​​the opponent's situation.

If pollution treatment is to be used, there are two limitations.

One was that he could no longer control the animal corpse, and the other was that he could not move, otherwise the treatment would be interrupted.

Therefore, every time he was treated, Boris would use a lot of magic for defense.

In other words, if she could take advantage of this opportunity to break his defense, she could directly injure him seriously.

The abdomen she had just hit was torn apart, and Boris would definitely continue treatment. This was her best chance.

Seeing the gray-black pollution being drawn out of the animal's body again, Cecia sped up and rushed towards Boris.

Not surprisingly, the opponent used magic to block it again, and the magic power was poured out almost without cost.

This guy really cherishes his life...

She sneered, but her hands did not stop moving at all. She opened the system backpack while attacking the ice layer.

In that dark special object, there is still one last ray of light.

Boris did intend to seal off all of her special items, but with Li Muqi's efforts, not only was part of the pollution purified, but it was also deflected from its trajectory, allowing the only special item to survive.

[Item Name: Hidden Axe]

[…To a certain extent, it can increase the physical damage caused by the user. If the target is an inanimate object, the damage caused will be twice the normal amount.]

It just meets her current needs.

A pitch-black axe suddenly appeared in her hand. All the magic power in her body flowed to the axe blade. The fiery red color radiated from the inside out and chopped at the solid ice layer.

Click.

Seeing the last of the defense being broken, a flash of surprise crossed Boris's face, but it was quickly replaced by intense madness.

"Hill, since you want to kill me, let's go to hell together!"

The corners of his mouth were raised to an exaggerated arc, and his gray-blue eyes were filled with morbid excitement.

Damn it.

A biting chill came from behind like needles. Her brain was on high alert, and her reason was desperately shouting at her to give up the attack and find a place to hide.

In the reflection of the reflective ice, she finally found the source of the cold.

Boris condensed an ice cone at some point, the concentration of magic power was terrifying, and the outer shell was wrapped in a layer of pollution, covering up the magic fluctuations inside, making her unable to detect it.

And the terrifying ice cone, aimed at her heart, was stabbing at her at an alarming speed.

Although the axe was closer to Boris, if she attacked Boris, she would not have time to dodge the ice cones.

[It is detected that the key player is under attack. The system has activated the automatic defense mechanism. Please concentrate on completing the task and fight against system loopholes. 】

Did Black Cat do this? What a caring ally.

Without any worries, Cecia increased the speed of magic transmission, and the sharp axe blade with red flames chopped towards Boris's head.

"Xia, Xia..."

A faint voice sounded from behind her. The familiar tone made her heart tremble, and a bad premonition grew in her heart.

Swallowing subconsciously, she turned stiffly and faced a thin brown figure.

Teddy bear? Why is it here?

Wasn't the little bear contaminated and damaged and temporarily unusable? Why did it appear behind her...and how could the ice cone pass through the little bear's body?

Her red pupils constricted as she caught the teddy bear's powerless falling body and held it in her palm.

The owner of the ice cone was severely injured and was forced to dissipate without the support of magic.

The teddy bear's body was pierced by an ice pick, leaving a large hole, and pure white cotton was spilling out of its chest.

She knew that this copy was very dangerous, and she had to fight against Boris, who had killed the little bear before. So from beginning to end, she never thought of summoning the little bear.

She only hoped that he could lie in the system backpack, pass through the dungeon safely, and face a bright future with her...

But why did it turn out like this?

What about the defense mechanism activated by the system?

All kinds of thoughts were mixed up in her mind. The teddy bear coughed twice and forced out a smile with difficulty.

"Xia, I'm glad you're okay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little bear's head, which had been held up high, drooped down, and his chest stopped rising and falling, just like an ordinary lifeless doll.

"Hahaha!"

A shrill laugh sounded behind her, and Boris's disgusting voice penetrated her ears.

"I've already told you that you will kill everyone! Your parents were killed by you, and your companion, that cute little guy, also died because of you!"

"Everything, everything is because of you! Who told you not to listen to my advice? If you had given up resistance, it would have survived!"

Click.

The string of rationality in my mind completely broke.

Carefully placing the teddy bear on the ground, she picked up the axe again and turned around.

The axe blade rubbed against the ground, making an unpleasant sound.

Without saying a word, she walked up to Boris.

At the last moment, Boris dodged desperately and the axe did not split his head, but hit his neck instead.

Ninety percent of the neck was cut off by the axe blade, and a large amount of blood and flesh spurted out, leaving only a little bit of skin and flesh connected to the body.

The pollution had long been extracted from the animal's corpse and gathered around his neck. The gray-black mucus was wriggling in an attempt to repair the broken end, looking extremely disgusting.

But it was this disgusting appearance that kept him alive.

His every breath, every movement, and every sound stimulated Cecilia's nerves.

Finally, there was only one thought left in the confused mind -

The little bear is dead, why is he still alive?

He swung the axe and chopped down.

Boris's arm was completely cut off, and the pain made him utter hysterical curses.

Then he raised his axe and chopped it down.

His legs were separated from his body, and he completely turned into a human pig. Desperate wails continued to ring out, and he even made ugly pleas for mercy.

clang--

The axe fell to the ground. There was no emotion in her eyes. She just relied on instinct to punch Boris in the face again and again.

The sound of flesh and blood colliding was endless, like the death knell.

"Checia..."

A slightly trembling female voice sounded in her ears, and she finally stopped and turned her head stiffly.

Facing those eyes full of cruelty, Li Muqi mustered up his courage: "He, he is already dead——"
