That's not all; what's even more deadly is the magical backlash caused by interrupting the spell.
Not only did the magic fail, it also prevented him from casting fear magic again for ten seconds.
Despite the unfavorable situation, Liu Nian forced herself to calm down.
After a quick thought, he decided to wait for the debuff to disappear before making any further plans.
With a flick of his cloak, the space rippled, and Liu Nian vanished from his spot.
Tiffany, standing nearby, was unable to escape the effects of the stun grenade and knelt on the ground, her soul fire fading from her eyes.
Lin Long was shocked to find Liu Nian out of the corner of his eye. He had only blinked, and his target had vanished without a trace.
In a panic, he was struck in the chest by a skeleton wielding a flail that surrounded him.
The Silver Scale Breastplate offered exceptional defense, and combined with his warrior traits of "Copper Skin and Iron Bones," Lin Long remained unharmed under this double protection.
But the force from the flail forced him to retreat.
The summoned creatures regrouped, blocking the corridor, and attacked him again, brandishing their weapons.
Lin Long was feeling anxious and uneasy, as he was trapped in front of the skull wall.
To make matters worse, the body of the man who had collapsed was nowhere to be found, and to make matters worse, the antidote could only last for another minute and a half.
Thinking about the two mages' bizarre attack methods after the shockwave's effect wore off, he had a terrible headache.
He had no more trump cards left, and was now barely relying on the advantage of his armor. If he continued to struggle like this, he would be the first to fall.
The effects of the stun grenade on Liu Nian's side are still ongoing, and it's unclear how long it will last.
Although we can't see with our eyes, we can still analyze with our brains.
No notifications came from the system that any summoned creatures had died, so they could probably hold on for a while longer.
He still had the Frost Arrow Scroll and the Cursed Doll as trump cards.
It's uncertain whether he can find himself now. The blinding effect is still in effect, and rash actions will only put him in an even more difficult situation.
Unfortunately, even though the summoned creatures have all been upgraded to level three, they still cannot understand precise commands.
Seeing the enemy in front of him wearing heavy armor, he kept stabbing at the upper body armor. If he could have hit the head or the lower body, the battle would have been over long ago.
"Just wait, I'm invincible when it comes to attrition!" This thought reassured him a lot.
Confidence is always cultivated through ability!
While Liu Nian was bored out of his mind, Lin Long was frantically parrying attacks from the summoned creatures.
Unable to break through the skeleton wall formed by summoned creatures, although he was not injured, cracks appeared on his armor, with fine cracks spreading out like a spider web.
Moreover, constantly dodging and weaving to defend against attacks from the summoned creatures had left him breathless, and the armor he was wearing was gradually becoming heavier.
This is the only way I can use it, Lin Long thought.
Talent: Berserk
After glancing at the corpse in the corner, Lin Long activated his talent without hesitation.
For 30 seconds, you will receive a buff of +9 to Strength and +9 to Constitution. After 30 seconds, you will be penalized with a decrease of -3 to Strength and -3 to Constitution for one hour.
If you had a perspective cheat, you would see the veins bulging on Lin Long's arms, and his body visibly growing taller, bursting through his heavy armor.
Unfortunately, Liu Nian couldn't see it, and the summoned creature, unaware of the arrival of the god of death, continued to attack Lin Long in front of it methodically.
However, although the summoned creature's attack landed on Lin Long, it was instantly deflected by his muscles.
The fairly sharp weapon only left a scratch on his body, which faded and healed in the blink of an eye.
Then, with bloodshot eyes, Lin Long waved his right hand, and the heavy broadsword seemed like a piece of paper in his hand. The summoned creature in front of him was instantly enveloped by the sword light and turned into a pile of debris.
Your summoned creature has been killed.
Your summoned creature has been killed.
The power of that single strike was terrifying.
...
The system issued ten consecutive notifications. Even though we couldn't see them, we knew that something major had happened.
Without hesitation, Liu Nian pulled the cursed doll from his shirt pocket and threw it toward the source of the sound.
As soon as he reached out, the invisibility effect was broken, and Lin Long stared intently at Liu Nian, who had suddenly appeared and was running towards him.
The strong wind he generated while running made Liu Nian's face sting.
Before the person even arrived, the murderous aura was already there.
Liu Nian's hair stood on end; the newcomer was up to no good!
The moment the cursed doll left his hand, it seemed to come alive and flew towards Lin Long, who was running towards Liu Nian.
Lin Long looked at the flying paper doll and thought to himself, "A thing that can be used at this time is not to be underestimated."
While running at high speed, he suddenly shrank back to avoid the cursed doll.
After passing Lin Long, the cursed doll seemed to have eyes in the back of its head, tracing a path in the air before turning back and flying away.
Lin Long had just stretched out his body and hadn't even had time to catch his breath when he felt a chill on his back, as if something was sticking to his body.
Shock filled my heart, and a sense of foreboding slowly welled up within me.
The cursed doll spontaneously combusted after being applied to Lin Long, instantly burning to ashes.
The ashes slowly pieced together the seal script character for "slow," which seeped into Lin Long's skin and disappeared.
With such a high level of physical strength, Lin Long was naturally not burned by this flame; his skin remained smooth and new after the fire.
Just as he was relieved to be unharmed, he found that he couldn't run fast no matter how hard he tried.
Even though it was only seven steps away, it felt like a sky bridge.
What chilled him even more was that Liu Nian's eyes were completely clear at that moment.
The effect of the stun grenade finally wore off, and Liu Nian saw the burly man opposite him "slowly walking towards him".
Liu Nian suppressed his surprise and raised his hand to unleash a "tooth".
Their teeth blocked Lin Long's path forward.
The ball of air drifted toward Lin Long, who was walking slowly. He neither dodged nor avoided it, letting the ball of air strike him.
Contrary to expectations, the tooth was left with only a shallow wound, which healed quickly.
"A humanoid Gundam?" Liu Nian was shocked.
When a warrior fights a mage, keeping distance is key. After Ya made his move, Liu Nian got up and retreated.
The cursed doll must have worked; the fact that it wasn't visible on the ground behind him is proof of that.
So it is only through slowing down that this effect can be achieved.
The burly man on the other side must have used some kind of amplification skill.
Liu Nian retreated while analyzing the situation.
Seeing him retreat, Lin Long became very anxious.
Seeing the distance gradually widening, and with only a few seconds left before the boost ends, let's take a gamble!
Lin Long mustered all his strength and threw the large knife in his hand at Liu Nian.
The ring-pommel sword whistled as it slashed towards Liu Nian, who was retreating.
With such a significant power boost, how could Liu Nian possibly dodge the speed of the broadsword?
He saw it with his eyes but his body couldn't keep up, and he was slashed solidly in the waist by the broadsword.
Forced by the immense force, Liu Nian was thrown backward like a golf ball being hit, her back hitting the cabinet behind her and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The bone breastplate, usually forgotten, saved Liu Nian's life. The broadsword struck the breastplate solidly, the blade embedding itself in the breastplate, almost shattering it.
The force transmitted from the blade left him breathless for a long time.
The threat of death remains, and we cannot afford to be careless.
Liu Nian lay on the ground, struggling to pull the knife off his breastplate. Looking up, he realized that the other party hadn't taken the opportunity to chase after him.
It turned out that Lin Long's amplification effect had completely disappeared, and he was also poisoned by Tiffany, who had recovered.
"We lost."
Feeling his life force slipping away, he gritted his teeth and slowly walked to his brother's body.
With his last bit of strength, he slowly sat down and lifted the already cold body of Lin Hu to lean against him.
Just like when they were little, the younger brothers always liked to lean against him like this.
Lin Long reminisced about the past.
"Longlong, you are the eldest brother! You must take care of your younger brother!" the father instructed.
"From now on, we can only rely on you three brothers." The mother, lying in front of the hospital bed, put her three brothers' hands together.
I had considered my second brother's suggestion, but the apocalypse came too suddenly, and all I had left were my timid second brother and my troublemaking younger brother.
There are two ways to make people obey: fear and loyalty.
Only by using the quick-acting fear to subdue people can one take care of their family.
Cough cough... In the end, I still failed my parents' expectations and couldn't take good care of them.
Lin Long's pupils gradually dilated, and then he lowered his head.
The two brothers rested their heads together as if asleep, just like when they were little.
