25: Matching with Death
I struggle to my feet. My body just
like fall to piece. Continuously suffering from thump, I really can't withstand
anymore. But I have to keep going on. I should not only withstand, but also win
the battle. I can't afford to lose the fight.
The sense of pain from every part
of my body comes together. Stimulate my brain again and
again. Some kind of madness accumulated inside my brain seems to break out. I squeal
out crazily:" killing!!"
It seems that there is a kind of
strength injecting to my body. I feel my blood is boiling. All around my body
burst out fire. The God of Plague appears to realize my change, he takes a step
back instantly by sub consciousness. His eyes Sparkles with surprise.
The system notifies:" you have
entered the status of 'Madness'. At the present, your 'explosion power' is 5,therefore,
your strength +100, physique +50%, time lasting 50 seconds…… "
Excellent! Without any hesitation, I
swallow two healing potions and dash to the Devil God of Disease.
With the help of 'Acceleration', I
am in the status of "Madness", hence my speed is just a little slower than him.
With my fighting technique, I can avoid most of his frontal attacks, moreover, every
time my sword almost hit his crucial part. Every attack reduces him 100 HP.
"40 seconds……30 seconds……20 seconds……10
seconds……"
The status of" Madness" will soon lose effect. Swiftly, I hide
behind one of the pillars. At this moment, there comes a notification into my
ear:" 'Madness' loses its effect. Now you have entered status of 'feebleness'. Compared
to status before, your strength reduces to 50%,. Your physique reduces to 75%,
agility reduces to 75%....... You will
not recover to normal status in3 hours.
I nearly squirt out blood from
mouth. Only 50 seconds of majestic influence, 2000 HP of reduction to the God
of Plague costs me waiting for death coming in the next few hours. If I know it
in advance, I will never ask for such status of 'Madness'. Just now, I thought
the mainframe might give me a favor.
The God of Plague dash towards me, subconsciously
I move my step. But it only finished in my brain. My movement can't catch up
with my mind. I am bitten in my chest. So the HP drops rapidly. In turn, I use
my sword to chop in the back of the Devil God of Disease, but only get
reduction of 6 HP.
In the meantime, the Devil God
discovers that I become weak too. Rather than let his mouth go, he bite my chest
more hard. Clearly, I can feel the Devil God's teeth have bitten through my
leather the set of Wolf King and stab into my
skin. Bang! The Devil God shakes his head as hard as he can. My back is bumped
painfully against a pillar. The pain which seems like sea wave overwhelms me in
a second. There is a word flashing across my brain:" death."
Exert my last consciousness, I
utilize my last trick:"mew~~~"
Just like common rat, the God of
Plague has a fear that deeply hidden in his heart: cat. Devil God of disease draws
out his teeth immediately. Then he runs far away ASAP like having an electric
shock.
I fall on the ground, consciousness
comes back to me gradually. I've lost most of my HP. So slowly, I eat my
healing potions and use my healing. I open my mouth slightly, looking at the
God of Plague who is trembling in the distant. I can't resist to smiling
bitterly, if I know what he is afraid of, why would I bother to use it in the
end?
Nevertheless, only an imitated meow,
how can it put the Devil God under control? The God of Plague realizes soon. There
is anger in his eyes. Soon, the anger transform to weird smile. Yes! I clearly
see he is damn smiling!
The weird smile hanging on his
face, I appear to get the message from him:" how dare you play a trick on me!
Thus, just wait and see how I torture you."
The God of Plague doesn't dash
anymore. He runs slowly towards me. It seems that he want me to experience the
gradually coming sense of fear. Obviously, he finds me in the status of "weakness".
Maybe in his eye, I am a person who has already died.
Now that you want to insult me, I
will let you pay for it! Under the determination of fearless death, I start my
final struggle.
But the determination can't make up
the gap between our powers.
The God of Plague easily bites and
throws me out again and again. Every time I will lose more than 150 HP. Falling
down will add dozens of HP reduction.
Retreat hell with one soldier. I
would never cower! That is splendid grandiloquence that often cited by the
famous generals in ancient time. Every time on TV, when I hear this grandiloquence,
I will choke up with exciting emotion. Now I can experience the sorrow of this
sentence finally.
If a portal that can transfer me to
a safe place appears in front of me at this moment, I will never leave! I only
want to win some credit in my heart.
My sword in silver grade has
slipped out of my hand long before. Confronted with the evil smile on Devil God's
face, I am here to wait. Wait for the final attack coming towards me. The Mystery
Turtle feels my will. It pulls my hands up, and lifts the shield against my
chest. At that moment, I know that Mystery Turtle tightly connects its fate to
me.
The God of Plague probably knows that
my healing potion has run out, but he unexpectedly stopped, looking at me with
an ironic expression. It appears that he is appreciating his prey.
Maybe he wants to play the game of"
cat catches rat". Rat has been tease for thousands of years. That must be a
tragedy to rat. Today the Devil God meets meet such a fearless person who can
play a role of cat. Surely he wants to conduct a severe revenge which targets
me.
Being humiliated by such a damn
mouse, I still uncommonly clam down.
As long as I am still alive, I
still have a chance. Though the God of Plague has 10,000 HP, while I only have
50 HP, as far as I am concerned, the possibility to win or lose perpetually is
50%.
Insisting won't always lead to
success, but giving up will definitely cause failure. I always hold this idea
in my mind.
Who has such "fortunate" to see a
mouse that can smile? That must be a face which can terrify people badly,
especially when the weird smile freezes on his face.
Light purple light hangs over the
body of Devil God. I am a little familiar with the light. It is just like the
magic in mental type used by the Devil God of Monster. But it has some
difference. Finally I remember. That is the light of "Taming Monsters"
At the back of the Devil God,
slowly stands a humpback figure. Looking at him carefully, I find he is old
patriarch. Unexpectedly he isn't dead.
Having ability to fix a Boss with
such a high intelligence, he must get hang over "Taming Monsters" in expert
grade! Now he proves himself to be the patriarch.
The old patriarch speaks out merely
a word with husky voice:" killing!"
Then, he shut his mouth down, and pays all his attention to the Devil
God of Disease. He doesn't look at me anymore.
All around the body of old
patriarch, giving off a type of light that I never see before. It is neither a
light of treasure, nor the natural sunlight. It more likes a flame. The figure
of old patriarch, face, and voice are obviously older than before. I can't
connect all those mess together. What I only believe is that: kill the Devil
God of Disease!
Rather than pick up sword in silver
grade or fetch my adept bow and arrow, slowly I take a weapon that I get it
recently—"sucking blood pipe"
Quietly and slowly, I walk to the
back of the Devil God of Disease. I inject the pipe slowly to the hind neck of
motionless Devil God.
A monster that being controlled by "Taming
Monsters" will waken up if he suffers from attacking. More violent the attack
is, it is more possible to awake the monster. Thus I choose this unimpressive equipment.
I can feel that the blood of Devil
God flows out slowly along the "blood sucking pipe". When it comes to my hands,
it transforms to a piece of warmness. The blood is absorbed into my body to supply
my little HP.
I stare at the back side of the
Devil God's head without any blink. At this moment, the time seems to freeze in
the whole great hall. I can't hear anything even breath……
My statue-like hands and body is
very stable. That is the result from exercising in the dark space in 20 years.
I can't hear the breath and
heart-beat from old patriarch. I never believe that the
old patriarch has such a stable will. But I can feel that the shadowy glow that
given off from his body persistently fluctuates. It likes burning.
Time is running out little by
little. When in front of me, the God of Plague falls over, the whole body of
mine is stiff, in additional, I can't perform my brain for a lone time.
The notification from system comes
to my ears. I ask myself fondly:" have I really won? Have I really won? Have I really won? "
When the old patriarch falls
over back-wards on the ground, his sound awakes me from my meditation.
I dash with stride towards the old patriarch. I am scared by what I
have seen: From the beginning, the old patriarch is just 50 years old. But what
in front of my face is a figure in octogenarian with wrinkles all around his
face.
I lean forward to hear his
heart-beat and touch his pulse. I don't see any reaction at all. I use "Healing"
to him again and again. His body doesn't change any more, and when I touch, old
patriarch's body is obviously cold!
A recent dead man can't have such a
cold body. Obviously, the old patriarch has been dead for two hours. So what I
saw just now?
A sudden incident breaks my
thought: the set of Wolf King turns to dust and ashes without any sound. A few
pieces of bright mong skin shave fallen. Through
the crazy malarial mosquitoes bite and powerful worrying form the Devil God of
Disease, the set of Wolf King, which accompanied me for countless battles,
finally runs out its durability. It even leaves me no chance to repair. It
disappears in this way.
I'm sorry there's a bit late today. I have somethings delay today.
