Chapter 194 I'll Teach You How to Fight

Although he had been mentally prepared, Haddock was still deeply shocked when he saw Hevinia severely injure one of the players in just one encounter.

No wonder Daphne failed.

But how did she do it?

So what exactly is the ability to cancel their spell music?

Haddock's heart sank quickly.

This kind of unknown power makes people feel helpless and panic. If he must fail, he would rather be killed by Hevinia's seven-tone magic than fail so unclearly.

It's not that Haddock is too pessimistic, but in a battle between players, if one side cannot use spells and the other side can use spells at will, then it will be a complete massacre and there will be no chance of struggle.

But just as Haddock had this thought, he saw Hevinia suddenly half-kneeling on the ground, her right hand tightly grasping her left arm, her face abnormally pale.

Seeing this scene, Haddock was slightly stunned.

What's going on?

They shouldn't have hurt Hevinia just now.

Could it be...

Haddock had a guess in mind, and immediately pointed his staff at Hevinia, using a two-tone, but instantaneous [Wind Blade].

With a swish sound.

Magic cut through the air.

And Hevinia had been paying attention to this side, so when Haddock raised his hand, she was already prepared, but she was still a beat too slow, and her delicate cheek was cut by the wind blade, and the blood kept flowing down.

really!

Haddock understood.

The strange method that Hevinia had just used to interrupt their spells could not be used all the time.

Otherwise there is no reason for her to fall for this spell.

Then you can still fight!

Haddock gave the remaining player a look, and that player also had rich combat experience. When he saw Haddock's [Wind Blade] hit, he guessed this. In fact, he noticed more than Haddock.

"Master! Snap your fingers! Snap your fingers!" He reminded Haddock loudly.

Then Haddock also recalled that he had heard the sound of snapping fingers the previous two times their spells were interrupted.

Hevinia used her right hand to use the staff, so when she snapped her fingers, it was her left hand that was covered now!

Haddock made a prompt decision: "First cut off her left hand, and then..."

He raised the staff again, aiming it at Hevinia's left hand, and magic power gathered at the top of the staff like a whirlpool.

"Don't use spells at the same time!"

Hevinia's frown deepened when she heard Haddock's words.

She heard Bai Wei laughing in her mind.

"I've been seen through. Although you've been seizing the opportunity to use [Terminate] once to cancel two spells is indeed a good idea and can achieve the greatest benefit, but using it twice in a row and not ending the battle is too risky."

Helvinia bit her lower lip tightly.

Although Bai Wei had reminded her long ago that rules come with a price, she still didn't expect the price to be so high.

The two consecutive finger snaps were like two knives cutting her left arm, making it almost impossible for her to lift it.

Moreover, he only snapped his fingers twice to kill one person, but Haddock saw through him.

What should I do?

"Don't worry." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Listen to me from now on."

"Let me teach you how to fight."

With a swish sound.

Another blade-like magical power surged out from Haddock's staff and flew towards Hevinia with a scream that cut through the air.

This is the advanced movement of [Two-tone·Wind Blade] - [Three-tone·Storm Cut].

As long as the spell hits, it can easily cut off Hevinia's left arm.

After witnessing Hevinia's unreasonable ability to cancel spells, Haddock also wanted to see what was so special about her left hand.

However, before the sword hit Hevinia, Hevinia had already drawn a straight line in front of her with her staff, and then a surging tide surged out from the trace left by the staff, stretching between the two of them like a waterfall.

【Second tone: Calling the tide】

The fewer the scales, the faster the spell can be cast, so even though Haddock was cast first, the tide summoned by Helvinia still successfully blocked the advanced version of the Wind Blade.

But it’s not completely stopped.

From Haddock's perspective, the advanced Wind Blade directly cut off the new tide.

Although it was only for a moment and the tide closed quickly, waves of scarlet still surged out of the blue magic water.

There was no doubt that it was Helvinia's blood.

As expected, I couldn’t stop it completely!

Haddock was delighted and was about to bypass the tide to attack Hevinia, but he found that the tide was expanding rapidly and split the entire house in two in almost the blink of an eye.

This surprised Haddock.

He knew that Tidecaller was a spell that grew stronger over time, but this was happening too fast!

How long did it take for the stream to evolve into a water curtain that can partition the entire room?!

The player at the side fired two more wind blades at the water curtain.

But the fully deployed Tide Call was no longer within the reach of this small wind blade. The two wind blades only created two ripples on the water curtain and nothing happened.

This can't go on.

Although Haddock was not worried that they would be hurt by the tide caller, it would be a big trouble if the rising tide washed away the hut and people outside saw the clues.

So, Haddock decided to get rid of this troublesome spell first.

But at this moment, the tide that was about to destroy the house suddenly disappeared with a "puff". Then the whole room was shrouded in thick white fog, and it instantly became a pitch-dark environment.

Haddock was stunned.

This is also a low-pitched spell that transforms controllable magical water into mist. It is a spell that can be used in conjunction with Tidecaller.

What had confused Haddock was not the spell itself, but the fact that Hevinia had canceled the Tidecalling on her own initiative.

In other words, she didn't want the noise here to spread outside.

Haddock narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even though he was injured, he still wanted to get rid of them here.

What a crazy guy.

The white fog that suddenly enveloped everything brought a momentary reprieve to the originally fierce battle.

Haddock was also able to think more calmly about the current situation.

Judging from the ability that Hevinia just demonstrated, it is definitely not something that a girl who has just been a performer for a year can do.

Although no one knows what she has obtained, there is no doubt that she is in a very difficult situation now. If she is not careful, she will fall into the ditch. After all, one of them has already fallen.

Therefore, we must clarify our goals now.

No matter what method Helvinia used to interrupt their spell, they only wanted the seven-note score.

After realizing this, Haddock slowly bent down and placed his hands on the ground.

He guessed that Hevinia wanted to use the thick fog to buy herself time to recover, or to launch a surprise attack.

Anyway, since everyone has lost their vision and dares not use higher-level music spells to attract outsiders' attention, Hevinia, who has no teammates here, can attack at will without any scruples, while they need to be considerate of each other and not hurt their own people.

What a great plan.

However, Haddock will not let Helvinia have her way.

In this thick fog, he also has his own advantage, which is the magic circle that has been set up under his feet.

The function of this magic circle is not just to simply isolate it from outside observation.

As long as you step into this magic circle, you are stepping into the rules he set.

And the first rule he is going to set now is - prohibition.

Haddock called upon his magic power, and a magic circle emerged from the thick fog, forming seven surrounding notes around his hands.

Seven notes are shining.

Then his fingertips passed over the seventh note, and the seventh note gradually faded.

The magic circle vibrated slightly, indicating that it had taken effect after receiving Haddock's command.

This means that as long as within the range of this magic circle, the seventh note is no longer allowed to be used.

All spells that require movement composed of seventh notes are also forbidden.

Haddock knew that as a musical score, Helvinia possessed the strongest note, which was the seventh note of the golden scale of Helvinia's original body, so any music spell related to the seventh note would become extremely powerful in her hands.

But now that Haddock has banned the Seventh Tone, Hevinia's fighting power will definitely be reduced by half.

But that’s not enough!

He wants to disable more than one sound.

Haddock waved his fingers repeatedly, and the notes dimmed one after another.

First tone, ban!

Second tone, forbidden!

The third tone, forbidden!

…

In a row, Haddock banned six scales.

Only the last note of the scale is left, which is my fourth note.

Generally speaking, a music spell requires at least two notes to release.

A single sound basically does not constitute any spell.

However, there is one exception.

That is, in the magic circle, the magic circle that has been arranged in advance can be regarded as a completed spell in a sense, so only a specific scale of music is needed to activate it.

And in this magic circle, it is the fourth sound.

The time is now!

Haddock called upon the fourth note of the scale in his body and poured it all into the center of the magic circle, activating the final ability of the magic circle.

Then the whole house began to shake, like a twisted Rubik's Cube.

At the same time, countless magic threads shot out from all directions and rushed to every corner of the room. The pervasive white mist could not block them at all.

And these magical threads are the extension of Haddock's senses.

Following these spreading thin lines, he accurately found four people in the room.

Two are standing and two are lying down.

There was no doubt that the two standing there were Hevinia and his servant.

bite!

The fourth note, which is located in the center of the seven notes and is neither high nor low, resounded throughout the room at this moment.

Haddock activated the last spell engraved in the magic circle.

[Puppet strings]!

The scattered magic threads suddenly tightened and immediately bound the two standing people, turning them into puppets in an instant!

Then, Haddock heard one of the parties snapping his fingers frantically.

But it didn't work.

Haddock smiled.

It seems that his guess was correct, there is no way to cancel a spell that has been completed.

The cornered animal will do something desperate, Hevinia.

After confirming the identities of the two, Haddock manipulated another puppet.

"Sean, is that you?" Haddock confirmed in advance.

"Yes, sir!" the player responded, "You succeeded!"

Obviously, he also knew about Haddock's method.

Haddock smiled, and then he immediately controlled Sean and rushed towards Hevinia, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

He had decided not to care about Hevinia's strange power and not to be greedy for more things to avoid any more accidents.

What he had to do now was to kill Hevinia directly without making any sound, and then take the golden score away without any risk.

Then, sharp barbs grew on Sean's magic string, and at this moment he became an armed puppet, like a mad dog with fangs, pouncing on another controlled puppet.

Then, Haddock heard the sound of flesh being pierced.

It was like a hungry wolf tearing at its prey, or like an ignorant child using scissors to cut the rag doll his mother bought into short pieces.

But this is a rag doll that bleeds.

When Haddock thought of the price his family had paid and his daughter who was no longer alive, his methods of manipulation became even more brutal.

He wanted to make sure that Hevinia would no longer have the power to resist.

But "Hevinia" had no way to resist. Controlled by the strings, she could only allow the mad human flesh to destroy her body at will.

In the white mist, her body was withering quickly like a dandelion.

But she couldn't even make a sound.

……etc.

Haddock's pupils suddenly froze.

yes.

Why is it so quiet?

Would a person be so quiet when being killed?

Haddock sensed something was wrong, and at this moment, the white mist finally began to dissipate, and the room was no longer pitch dark.

Then, Haddock heard Sean's trembling voice filled with fear: "No, no, no, sir... This is not that woman!"

Haddock was stunned.

Not Helvinia?

Then who is it?

Haddock didn't care about so much, and subconsciously left the center of the formation and took a few steps forward.

Sure enough, it turned out that the one torn into pieces by Sean was not Hevinia.

But it was the player who fell first.

At this moment he was staring at Haddock and Sean.

Obviously, he was still alive until just now.

But why is this? !

Where is Helvinia again!?

...Could it be that

He turned around suddenly and saw that the wounded Hevinia was standing where he was just now, with her finger on the center of the formation.

Haddock's mouth dropped open.

Then there was a harsh sound of strings being pulled in my ears.

"Master! Get out of the way!" Sean said in horror.

But it was too late.

The spiked puppet hugged Haddock from behind.

…

Tick. Tick.

Haddock lowered his head and watched the blood flow out from the body full of holes, staining the large area of ​​the ground beneath his feet red.

He slowly raised his head again and looked at the silver fourth tone on Hevinia's body.

Haddock asked, "Why do you have a fourth tone?"

Helvinia replied, "Daphne's."

Haddock opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the end, he was unable to say anything and just died.
