It happened unexpectedly again, and Karin fell into a state of furious madness.
"Ill never hand over my perfect brother to a bunch of filthy men like you!"
What?!
Levin was astonished to see a hesitant Karin rush up to him.
Karin was so fierce, a dagger appeared under the big mans ribs and drew out a long blood mark. This was still the result of the big mans emergency dodge. The big man slapped Karin with a backhand slap, knocking her to the ground.
Karins efforts freed Raven from the Great Khans tight grip.
If Raven was still the top player in the game who was on a guarding mission, he would have abandoned this NPC named Karin without hesitation in such an extremely disadvantageous situation, because death in the game is permanent and any player only has three lives. Once one of them dies, that character can never be retrieved again.
But now Raven is a fusion of two souls, and in his soul memories there are many years spent with Karin.
Up until this moment, Raven had never thought that something like I couldnt control myself would happen.
When he came to himself, he found that he had already turned over.
Since it has happened, we should make the best of it.
In a split second, Raven had controlled his muscles and made a left hook motion.
This clumsy fist of course couldnt hit anyone, that black-robed disciple sneered and slapped Ravens fist away. Raven didnt change his momentum and charged forward with one shoulder, looking like a child who had never been trained in fighting.
The black-robed cultivator didnt mind, so how much strength could such a slender body have when colliding with him?
The Blackened Cultist suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his chest, and there was a dagger in his chest that he didnt know when it appeared.
Elbow Strike!
No, it should be Elbow Bottom Knife!
The heretic paid the price for his arrogance, and that price was his life.
"Run fast!" Ravens loud shout seemed to have no effect on Carlin, who was still in a daze, staring at Raven with terrified eyes.
Levin soon discovered that Karins gaze was not on him, but on something behind him.
"Hmm——"
Lei Wen felt as if he had been struck by a raging bull.
Another Darkspawn? Where did he come from?
"Ahhh..."
When Leivin came to, the only thing that spread throughout his body was pain. His frail physique convulsed violently due to some intense stimulation, and he knew without any reminder that he was on the verge of death.
A chaotic mess in the mind, a deadly suffocating feeling on the neck, as if it would melt the brain at any time, and a piercing pain that comes wave after wave from the abdomen.
Lei Wen realized that he was being held up high by the neck, and his opponents physique was taller and stronger than himself.
A flash of cold light, and Carlin threw out the dagger she had been carrying as a flying knife.
Did I hit it?
Didnt win!
The giant with Ravens neck in a chokehold charged at Karin with one swift step while holding Raven with one hand.
The next moment, a scream was heard, and Carlins face was covered in blood, falling to the ground with an uncertain fate.
Karin! Dont die on me!
Gritting his teeth, Raven, once an S-level assassin of rank 118, made the best reaction - a knee strike to the opponents throat.
A sudden and unexpected blow, beyond the opponents imagination.
A single blow succeeded, but it was not fatal.
Ravens full-strength knee strike only made the opponent let go due to pain, without bringing the sensation of crushing his throat as Raven had imagined.
Levins black vision caused by hypoxia has not yet recovered, and the consciousness of the god-level player has made him clear that the opponents body is too strong. This means that the opponents physical strength is too high, and he cannot inflict effective damage on the opponent in close combat.
Cant beat it!
That guys level is probably far beyond Ravens.
That is to say, the other sides challenge level was too high!
It can be imagined that the other partys name in the game must be red and purple, and it must be a pile of red question marks when looked at.
Vision has recovered.
Raven crashed heavily to the ground, disregarding her own dizziness, her eyeballs spinning rapidly as she searched for a glimmer of hope within her field of vision.
Found it!
Three consecutive ugly rolls, and Raven wrapped around Carlin, dodging the opponents large hand counterattack. The superior agility allowed Raven to flashingly stuff Carlin into a sewer entrance on the edge of the bluestone road surface, and Ravens slender body followed suit and flipped in.
The light around him suddenly disappeared, and Raven entered a cold and dark world. Breathing lightly, the damp and rotten air filled Ravens lungs, which ordinary people might find hard to bear, but Raven, who was accustomed to walking in the darkness, felt a sense of relief instead.
As the massive forward momentum sent Raven tumbling through the underpass, a rough male voice bellowed from behind: "You little brat! Im gonna tear you apart!"
Lei Wen smiled. The manhole wasnt too narrow, nor was it wide. From the brief glance just now, Lei Wen knew that the burly man would absolutely not be able to squeeze in.
A few seconds later, the maniacal laughter of a man came from outside the sewer again: "You little bastard, youve been hit by my Corrosion Fang and still want to live? You can rot to death in the ditch with that cheap woman! Hahahaha!"
Lei Wens first reaction was to curse loudly in his heart: "Dont let me live, otherwise Ill be the first to kill you!"
No matter how hard he tried, Lei Wens mood just couldnt get any better.
"Corrosion Fang" is a rare divine spell that players in the novice area of Azeroth can encounter. Accumulating 36 points of damage within 3 hours can easily kill a novice three times.
Divine arts arent something you can use casually, misusing them will bring about divine retribution. Is it worth using divine arts to deal with a commoner kid?
How unlucky do I have to be to get hit by this thing?! Whats going on?!
Damn it, if I were still that Shadow Master or God-level Assassin, Id single-handedly annihilate your ancestors for eighteen generations like its childs play...
In the newbie zone, one shot of 【Corrosive Fang】, if this happened to someone else, Raven would burst out laughing and pat that guy on the shoulder: "Congratulations on winning, die early and live a better life, go buy lottery tickets quickly!"
It happened to Raven himself, and all he could say was "I have nothing to say except for profanity."
After successfully crossing over, his body is his own, and so are the fatal injuries. He has to find a way to save himself!
Just now, when I wasnt paying attention, another 【Self-Stabilization】 has been carried out, and the system shows that his blood volume is already -2/11. 【Corrosion Fang】 deducts 1 point of blood every 10 minutes, which means Raven also needs to make a 【Self-Stabilization】 check every 10 minutes. If he fails any one of them, the accumulated injuries will burst out all at once...
This is what they call dead and gone.
Shaking his head to clear the ominous future from his mind, Raven panted heavily, dragging Karyns frail body with one hand and trudging through the polluted water.
"Are we going to die? How annoying, let brother see me in a difficult situation. Ive sworn since childhood that I wont let anything ugly appear by brothers side." Karin said somewhat dazedly.
"Well be fine. Brother will take you to a place where you can be saved."
Saying that with his mouth, the situation was not optimistic at all. After carefully recalling the information about 【Rotten Tooth】, Levin clearly knew that newbies who were hit by this thing had only two outcomes:
One is to write a will and prepare for the aftermath, wanting to treat such injuries, at least need to buy 7th Life Holy Water produced by Goddess of Life, that thing is not less than 5 gold coins at the cheapest, which is an impossible task for a newcomer.
Two is to gamble with ones life, which was unexpectedly discovered by players in the early stages of the game as a wonderful lifesaving treasure.
The Golden City of Wealths Church of Holy Coin, led by Bishop and Goddess Spokesperson Salandra* Aurelium, has a series of extravagant practices: due to the life-giving holy water having purifying and cell-activating effects, the Temple of Wealth has long been abusing the life-giving holy water. For example, using low-grade holy water as detergent to sweep the temple, or as laundry detergent to wash the priests robes.
Especially one of the five fierce women under Yolande, Barastelle Serielle, in order to maintain her youth and beauty, she would apply a facial mask with holy water at least once every night.
When players take sustained damage that they cant handle, they will run to the sewer and follow a secret escape route discovered by some player, drilling into a junk house in the outer courtyard of the Church of Wealth. Occasionally, servants will randomly place bottles of Holy Water there.
If youre lucky enough to steal one or two bottles of Holy Water of Life, then you wont have to die.
In the game "ArcheAge", the severity of death penalties has caused players to protest countless times, as a single death results in permanent character deletion, with the only option being to reduce 20 levels of profession and rebuild a new character for rebirth.
Now Raven doesnt have a reincarnation storyline, when youre dead, youre dead, let alone still dragging around a loli.
No choice, Raven led Karin along the route she remembered.
The place has been found.
It was an ordinary-looking sewer wall with two small holes covered in spider webs. Raven poked his fingers into both of them at the same time, and with a creaking sound, the wall in front of him didnt change at all.
"Brother, this..."
"A place where miracles can happen. Come on!" Raven took Karins hand, and with one hand pressed against the wall, the wall seemed to not exist, and their hands easily passed through it.
"Ah!"
"This is the legendary Phantom Wall." Ravens smile gave Karin confidence. Karin somehow felt that Raven should know what was behind the Phantom Wall.
"Come!" Supporting Karin, Raven passed through the shadowy wall and appeared in front of a wide passageway that was empty and straight, leading deeper into the darkness.
As soon as they entered the passageway, it felt much cooler. The two of them supported each other and arrived at the end of the secret passage, but Leven didnt dare to open the large door again.
As soon as the door is opened, it will trigger an alarm trap and alert the entire temple.
There was a small air vent beside the large gate of the secret passage, just big enough for one hand to reach in. Raven glanced over and saw that it was still empty.
"Dont make a sound, all we can do is wait and pray." Raven said softly, supporting Carlin to sit quietly at the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for fates judgment.
There was nothing Raven could do, and in the narrow corridor he couldnt even find a roll of clean bandages to help Karin dress her wound.
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Karin was a bit dizzy, her head tilted, and she leaned against Ravens shoulder.
In the silent darkness, Raven quietly recalled the details about the holy water.
Because the use is uncertain, the holy water used by the servant is not fixed either, unless they are so lucky that the maid happens to put the life-giving holy water used for Serilies face mask here, otherwise its mostly heavily diluted low-quality holy water for cleaning.
Some good Samaritans have done the statistics, and it turns out that 43% of the holy water here is the lowest grade 10th rank holy water, 29% is 9th rank, 18% is 8th rank, 8% is 7th rank, and only 2% chance will be 6th rank or above holy water.
To fix the rotten tooth, at least 7 or more Life Holy Water is required.
Rich experience made Raven silently lament.
He knew this was a typical case of nine deaths and one life!
This feeling of being unable to control ones own destiny is the most hateful.
Waiting for ones own life to end or be reborn is undoubtedly a terrifying and lonely thing.
The pain caused by the corrosion was still tormenting Ravens nerves, and Raven didnt even dare to cover the wound. It was a strong acid, covering the wound would only get his palm involved as well.
The pain came in waves, her fingernails had already dug into the palm of her hand, and her lips were bitten by her own teeth with bloody marks. It was too painful, this feeling that couldnt be described, how long hadnt she felt it?
It seems like I havent felt this way since those dozen or so divine spirits avatars chased and killed me that one time, huh?
The body cant move around casually anymore. Intense exercise will intensify blood circulation and accelerate the spread of corrosive acid in a disguised way.
The systems prompt sound rang in his ears once again:
"【Self-Stabilization】check failed, proceeding to 【Wound Stabilization】check...... check failed. Your wounds are starting to deteriorate, if you cant restore your HP to a positive number within 10 minutes, you will be declared dead!"
As the beep sound came to an end, everything in front of me became blurry and hazy.
Levins heart skipped a beat, and within ten minutes things hadnt turned around yet, he was done for. In his daze, he had a feeling: if he died, Karin probably wouldnt survive either.
Levin had fallen into despair for the first time in his life, and as an atheist, he prayed to the goddess of fortune for the first time.
Perhaps this is what they call a desperate prayer!
