Chapter 118: Light Gun
Outside the King's Campus, Royal Holy Crown University, Tivian North Suburbs.
In the dark night, at the entrance of Heguan Bridge, three minions from the Eight-Pointed Nest looked at the fierce fighting scene in the distance and talked hesitantly to each other.
"What should we do? Should we go help Mr. Velvet right now?"
"No, look at the way they are fighting, is there anything we can do to interfere? That's a fight between extraordinary people!"
"From the looks of it, Mr. Thorn Velvet is in the upper hand, and the other side is about to collapse."
…
The three minions were talking to each other and commenting on the battle scene not far away, but they did not notice that behind them, two figures were slowly standing up.
In the distance, as Nephnis was looking shocked, two corpses that were originally killed by Vanya at the beginning slowly stood up again. One of them was Eli, and the other was another member of the academy. They looked indifferently at the three people who were talking in front of them. The words of the three people were transmitted to Dorothy's ears far away underground through the ears of the corpse doll, which made Dorothy couldn't help but murmur with a smile.
"Are you still hesitating? If that's the case, then I'll help you make a decision."
As she spoke, Dorothy controlled the two corpses to pull out the small guns they were wearing, sneaked up, then each of them covered the mouth and nose of the person in front of them, and then slit their throats.
“Ugh!!”
"Well, what...ah!"
The person under him heard the movement beside him and slowly turned around, and then was immediately rushed over by two corpses who clamped him and covered his mouth, and one of them stabbed him to death with a spanking.
In an instant, all the men brought by Cirong were wiped out, which made Nephnis, who was watching all this not far away, open her mouth in astonishment.
"The corpse... the corpse actually stood up? And killed someone? Is this Miss Dorothy's extraordinary ability? Where is she now? Is she nearby now?"
Just as Nephnesse was surprised, Dorothy suddenly expanded her puppet control line to the largest one, and directly turned the three dead bodies into puppets and pulled them up. Then, Dorothy controlled the puppets and ran to the other side of the bridge together.
Turning her attention to the battlefield on the other side of the river, due to the difference on the panel, Vanya was suppressed in all aspects in the battle between her and Thorn. Under Thorn's continuous attack, even Vanya, who had already fully transformed into a defensive posture, found it increasingly difficult to respond.
Even with rich experience and sophisticated skills, it is impossible to make up for the huge gap in panel attributes. Now it is easy to see that if this continues, it will not be long before Vanya's defense will collapse completely. This makes Vanya worried.
However, the fact is that compared to Vanya's defense, her weapon could not hold up more. In the process of continuous fighting with Thorn, the long sword in Vanya's hand was already full of gaps. After each collision with Thorn's short sword, a piece of Vanya's long sword's blade would almost be broken off.
In the high-frequency continuous blocking, the edges of Vanya's sword were almost broken, and the sword slowly turned into an iron stick. The stick was even covered with fine cracks. However, the short sword in Thorn's hand was still intact, flashing a deadly cold light under the moonlight.
Thorn is an extraordinary being of the "Shadow" path, and one of the characteristics of the "Shadow" spirit is that it can easily attach to weapons and strengthen them.
To enchant weapons with spirits of other attributes, one must be a certain class or have the help of a specific item symbol. However, "Shadow" is different. Enchanting is an inherent skill of all classes in the entire "Shadow" path. Apprentice-level "Shadow" can attach spirits to the sword to increase its sharpness, allowing it to easily cut through unarmored flesh.
At the black level, the "Shadow" enchantment increased the armor-piercing ability of the sword. Although Vanya was not wearing armor, this armor-piercing ability was also demonstrated in the fight between the sword and the sword.
The thorny shorts kept hitting Vanya's blade, breaking and cracking the edge. The blade, which had turned into an iron rod, became tattered in the few minutes of fighting.
Finally, after a powerful blow, the iron rod in Vanya's hand, which had been eroded by the "shadow" and was full of cracks, shattered and scattered, and Vanya, who was holding the hilt of the sword in vain, widened her eyes at this moment.
Seeing this, Cirong smiled sinisterly, then took out his short sword and prepared to stab Vanya, who had already lost her defense, when a voice suddenly sounded...
"Mr. Velvet! We're here to help you!"
The corpses that had already run to the other side of the bridge shouted like this, and then they picked up their small daggers and chopped at Cirong. Cirong was deceived by the voices of his men and was not prepared for a moment, until a dagger chopped in front of him, he reacted.
He narrowly dodged the attacks of two daggers, and after paying the price of having the corner of his clothes cut, he turned around and cut the minion closest to him into two pieces with a single slash of his hand, and blood spurted out immediately.
Thorn did not immediately deal with the other corpses, but focused his attention on Vanya who had lost her weapon. He clenched his short sword and stabbed Vanya. He knew very well that the key now was not to deal with these subordinates who suddenly rebelled for unknown reasons but had little combat power, but to kill Vanya while she had lost her weapon.
“Die!”
Thorn's short sword stabbed the unarmed Vanya at high speed. Just as Vanya wanted to dodge in fear, a figure flashed between them and took the blow for Vanya. The sharp sword blade pierced the figure's chest and abdomen. It was Eli, now the zombie controlled by Dorothy.
"What! Meat puppet..."
Seeing this scene, Ci Rong's eyes widened. He wanted to pull out, but found that his arm was held tightly by Eli.
At the same time, behind Cirong, the remaining corpses also stabbed at him with daggers. Cirong, who was clamped by Eli, dodged urgently but was stabbed twice in the back.
Although this minor injury was nothing to the extraordinary person assisting the "cup", these corpse puppets chose to cling to Cirong's body after stabbing him, holding on tightly and refusing to let go. Including Eli, there were four corpse puppets restraining Cirong's movements at once.
For a moment, the scene of men on both sides was staged again, but this time Thor was an extraordinary person with the "cup", and his strength was not comparable to those of these ordinary corpses. Due to the difference in strength, the corpses could not suffocate Thor to death directly like they did last time. Thor would be able to break free from the restraints sooner or later, but this would also take a lot of time.
"Hurry! Now!"
With a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and a pierced abdomen, Eli turned his head and spoke to Vanya, who was still a little stunned behind him. After hearing this, Vanya immediately reacted.
"These are... Miss Dorothea's puppets! I'm mad!"
Vanya reacted and threw away the useless hilt of the sword in her hand. She began to concentrate, closed her eyes, and the expression on her face became focused. A sacred aura emanated from her body.
At this moment, Vanya seemed to be in a cathedral where she chanted hymns for daily prayers. A holy and majestic figure emerged in her heart. The training as a nun from childhood to adulthood made her feel pious.
Vanya stretched out her hand. Her inner piety reached its peak at this moment. The moment she opened her eyes, she murmured.
"Oh...Give me light..."
Muttering to herself, Vanya, the spiritual power of the "light" in Vanya's body was being consumed rapidly. As the "light" was fading away quickly, dazzling golden light gathered in Vanya's outstretched hand, then extended at both ends, eventually forming a long and thin beam of light, emitting light countless times brighter than that under the street lamps, dispelling the surrounding darkness. This beam twisted and spread, and it looked like lightning.
"What? This is..."
