Chapter 57

"Damn it!" Although the doll maker was not fully aware of the current situation, shortly after Zhou Tian left, the NPCs soon came to attack. If this matter had nothing to do with him, the doll maker would never believe it.

However, even though the doll maker had already remembered Zhou Tian, she still could not ignore the threat posed by the NPCs.

"How dare you destroy my beloved children! You bastards, all of you die!" Seeing the NPCs continuously slaughtering various dolls, the doll maker no longer had the time to think about how to take revenge on Zhou Tian. Treating the dolls as her own children, she roared and directly charged at the NPCs.

"Be careful, that's the doll maker, the strongest monster outside our city!" Upon seeing the doll maker appear, the NPCs who recognized her quickly warned their companions, each worried that others might underestimate the opponent and get hurt due to lack of knowledge about her.

However, it was clear that although the NPCs had heard of the doll maker's name, they did not fully understand the significance of her being the strongest monster. When they truly faced the doll maker, even though they were all prepared, they still ended up in a very awkward situation.

"Don't, I..."

"What's going on?"

"Everyone, be careful!"

"..."

The doll maker, who had not acted until then, immediately gave the NPCs a hard time. It was unknown what method she used, but when she appeared before the NPCs, many of them suddenly went mad and started slashing at their companions.

"Don't panic, this is the doll maker's ability. She can control us through threads. As long as we cut the threads, everyone will naturally recover!" Either because they had prior knowledge of the doll maker's ability or because they observed the situation, an NPC officer loudly explained the doll maker's ability when the NPC camp was in chaos.

However, the NPC officer's words did not have much effect. After hearing his explanation, although most of the NPCs understood the doll maker's ability, they became even more afraid. The doll maker's ability was truly terrifying for ordinary beings. Not only was it hard to detect when it was activated, but seeing themselves or their companions suddenly lose control of their bodies and be manipulated by the enemy was a terrifying experience.

Since the doll maker's control of the threads seemed to require the use of her fingers and targeted only a few, the NPCs could still hold out for a while. Otherwise, if the doll maker's ability could directly affect all the NPCs, they would either be scared away by her ability or quickly die at the hands of their own companions.

"Die!" Seeing that their soldiers were all terrified by the doll maker's ability, the leading NPCs exchanged glances and, with a determined bite of their lips, they all charged at the doll maker.

At this moment, it was clear that the morale of the NPC side had been severely affected by the doll maker's ability. If no one stopped her, it would not take long for most of the NPCs to lose the courage to attack.

Therefore, although they knew the doll maker was powerful, the NPC officers had no choice but to fight. After all, among all the NPCs, only they had the strength to barely match the doll maker. If they did not act, this team would likely suffer a major defeat.

A mage among the NPC officers was the first to act. Pointing at the doll maker, he channeled his magic, and a bolt of lightning shot directly at her.

The magic the NPC cast was very fast, and at that speed, an ordinary person would have no way to avoid it.

However, the doll maker was clearly not an ordinary person. The NPC's magic had not even reached her when it was blocked by the body of another NPC.

"Damn it!" The NPC would not have willingly gone to block the attack for the doll maker. Clearly, the NPC was controlled by the doll maker.

Although the doll maker was confident that none of the NPCs before her could match her, she knew that if they joined forces, they could still pose a threat to her. As a result, the doll maker, who had been very aggressive, ultimately had to adopt a defensive stance when facing the strong NPCs.

However, the doll maker's defensive stance only further enraged the NPCs. The doll maker had no defensive abilities, so her defense involved controlling several NPCs to act as shields in front of her. As a result, when the doll maker stood in the air facing the NPCs, several NPCs soldiers were floating around her, dancing and moving. Seeing their companions being used in such a way, the NPCs could not help but be furious.

"You are so despicable!" Although the NPCs were very angry, they had to be cautious about the doll maker using their subordinates as shields. As a result, the NPC officers felt a bit hesitant about attacking.

"What should we do now?" Just as the NPC officers were thinking about how to deal with the doll maker's ability, the doll maker had already taken the initiative to attack.

The NPCs were cautious, but the doll maker would not hold back. In her view, as long as it could be useful, even if it seemed despicable to others, why not use it? Thinking of her 'children' who had been harmed, the doll maker was filled with hatred for the NPCs. Therefore, even if the NPCs did not attack her, the doll maker had no intention of letting them off.
