Overturned Tower

Strangler just turned slightly sideways, allowing the arrow to miss his back and hit his right shoulder.

——Blood bursts out.

The impact of the arrow caused his body to stumble forward slightly.

But Strangler's clenched left hand still didn't loosen, and he didn't even look back.

He just held the man's head and pulled him up from the ground.

Just like the principle of the gallows, a person's own weight is enough to break the neck - but that requires a period of downward drag or a sudden fall. And luckily, Strangler isn't going to kill him here.

After Strangler picked up the man, he held his face and slammed the back of his head against the thick wooden pole on the deck!

Once, twice, three times!

Hit without mercy. At the second blow, subtle blood stains could be seen on the wooden pole.

After three blows, the splattered blood left obvious marks on the wooden pole.

Only then did Strangler release the man, leaving him unconscious and falling to the ground.

——Based on the strength of the opponent's body, a blow of this magnitude would probably not kill him. perhaps.

Before he ate the second crossbow bolt, he opened his bloody left hand and pointed his palm at the man who had attacked him and was hiding in the river.

The golden flame gathered in the palm of his hand again and condensed into a small ball.

At this time, the opponent's second arrow was also ready.

But seeing this scene, he was so frightened that he was scared to death.

He even gave up shooting at Strangler and instead swung his fish tail in an attempt to escape.

Fortunately, he has a strong fish tail.

With just a slight swing, it can instantly jump several meters into the water.

But in an instant, the golden stream of light that simulated an arrow made a bend and shot forward——

It nailed the man hard in the back of his heart.

That was the exact spot he originally targeted for strangulation!

The man's spine was penetrated, and the broken and broken spine was inserted into the lungs and penetrated to the chest.

After the light arrow completed its revenge, it suddenly shattered and became invisible.

But precisely because of this, blood poured out from the wound. The originally clean river water was slowly dyed red with blood.

Hangsha stood there and closed his eyes, feeling for a while.

Although his spiritual relative is a lion, he does not inherit the lion's night vision. Hangzhou couldn't see clearly what was going on under the river in the middle of the night...but he could hear the sound of water flowing and sense other people's murderous intentions towards him.

No more danger or hostility was felt. This means that this wave of enemies was indeed cleaned up by him.

"Five people."

Strangler sneered: "There are quite a few people, but they are all trash."

It's just that his right arm... looks like it's useless.

It's such a shame to have my arm broken by a bunch of losers.

If I still had the power I had before...

……No.

If he still had the "fire of the furnace", even if the number of these people doubled, they wouldn't be able to hurt him in the slightest.

But in that case, Xiaoya would be shot to death in front of him.

Even if he could turn his body into disembodied fire at any time, even if he could ignore the laws of gravity and fly in the air in the form of flames at high speed... But he could not detect the danger in advance, nor could he create a dull light to resist attacks. shield.

Not to mention a shot. Even ten shots or a hundred shots can't hurt him in the slightest.

The most advanced sniper rifle bullets will only pass through his body. Unless he directly uses a heavily armed mech-level missile and hits it head-on... even an armor-piercing projectile is far less deadly to him than a liquid nitrogen injector.

But that also meant that he couldn't intercept the opponent's attack, he could only avoid it.

He can only protect himself.

——But now it is different.

Although because he was too high-profile, no one went around to sneak up on Xiaoya. The aphotic shield he created was not used in the end...but it was good not to use it.

After all, even if he strangles himself, he doesn't know how strong he can withstand the attack now.

When he intercepted the bullet with a simple lightless shield, the feedback force had already numbed Strangler's left hand.

This is a new spell system built by Strangler based on "greed", "arrogance" and "revenge".

This is a new ability unique to today's strangulation.

A lightless shield that can absorb the surrounding "light" to continuously recover - what it needs is not the light of nature, but the light in people's hearts.

Hope, friendship, protection, love, faith, courage...

It will continuously extract any form of positive emotions from the protected person and turn them into a shield against attacks. When it is attacked, it will not directly block the attack, but will have part of its emotions drained to offset the damage.

With his strangulating personality, his Aluminum Shield might not be able to hold up for a few seconds. Therefore, some harm needs to be avoided.

The method he chose was driven by the emotion of "arrogance", and it was like a radar that sensed the surrounding "regicides" and pointed them directly at his own area of ​​murderous intent, called "King's Aura".

The moment he himself is about to suffer a fatal injury, his sense of time will slow down; the more fatal the attack, the slower time will become. Only attacks that are not clearly directed at him will be avoided by this sense... For example, the shot aimed at Xiaoya in the first place.

Because that shot was not directly aimed at strangulation, but might have penetrated Xiaoya's body and then hit strangulation. So Strangler didn't catch this attack... He relied on real "inspiration" to pull Xiaoya to avoid this attack.

And after he lost the "furnace fire" that can burn all materials in the real world, Strangler, who can't use firearms, also lost a powerful attack surface ability.

Therefore, he chose to defend and counterattack.

The basic principle of all spells is that the more inclined the spell is to roughly change "others" and the "outside world", the higher the emotional concentration and the greater the difficulty required. In other words, offense and treatment are far less cost-effective than defense and self-blessing spells.

If you want to take shape again as quickly as possible, you need to build a new system around defensive strategies.

Strangler chose "Revenge" which is close to the realm of "Rage".

After he actually withstood an attack from others, he could return the attack intact with only "desire for revenge" and a small amount of "anger" as motivation.

Regardless of whether the attack deviated from the opponent's original target, or the damage was reduced through shields, armor, etc., "Fire of Revenge" will only carry out revenge based on the opponent's "motivation". Just as the other person's murder was avoided or resolved by me, it was still a murder.

The Aphotic Shield absorbs all positive emotions and will not weaken the "King's Spirit" and "Fire of Vengeance"; and although his previous anger has been completely transformed, his experience in mastering the fire of the furnace also makes him unable to Will be swallowed up by the ever-expanding desire for revenge and lose control.

The spell system built around "Aphotic Shield" and "Fire of Vengeance" was an idea that Strangler came up with on his own without asking the barber or his mentor.

It is different from the ignorant state when I first became a mage.

Because only after the world view is mature and fixed, and after you have enough experience as a mage, you can abandon everything you once had and start from scratch, then you can choose the best path for yourself from the beginning.

This is his own path built solely on his own understanding of magic.

Not the heir to another's path.

It's the path you take yourself.

Use courage and wisdom to open up unknown territories, determine the direction of progress by reflecting the wild desire in your heart, use reason to make choices and recasts, and finally weave and plan your own path. In the end, what it reflects is the personality essence deep inside each person.

In the end, it will become a kind of... that does not depend on the approval of the devil. It is only one's own spiritual power that everyone can possess.

This may be the essence of "magic".

This was his first actual battle after regaining his strength.

Perhaps it was because he had to give more than half of the Aluminous Shield that originally protected him to Xiaoya... Strangler himself was not very satisfied with the actual combat effect of this new system.

After returning to the cabin, looking at Xiaoya who was really motionless, lying upright with her eyes closed like a dead fish, Hangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

While he withdrew the Aphotic Shield, he subconsciously taunted in a low voice: "You really didn't move at all. What a good baby. Do you trust me so much?"

"Because Mr. Strangler said so..."

Xiaoya felt a little aggrieved.

When Zhuo Zhu heard this, he was silent for a moment.

He said nonchalantly: "That's why you won't be killed by them. It's right to obey."

Although he was full of ridicule and disdain for those weak amateurs in his heart, Zhuozuo was reluctantly exaggerating their danger - as if if Xiaoya didn't listen to him and hide, something would really happen.

Just because he didn't want Xiaoya to think that trusting him would be the wrong choice.
