Chapter 2589 The Basic Principles of Repeated Jumping

Crystallized flowers bloom, yet no spider's shadow is seen on the lake.

The claim of lethality is by no means an exaggeration. Although it only hits a small section of the target and does not spread further after not even hitting the target.

But that's a storm blade similar to the one on the whale's other head. This judgment wasn't based on just a feeling; there are even ready-made examples to prove it.

It wasn't a direct hit, but the whale skull, suspended in its eye socket by that "blood blade," had crystallized cracks that appeared out of nowhere, so clearly demonstrating what it meant to have a beginning and an end echoing each other.

Even the placement of the eye socket on one side and the nostril on the other is somewhat consistent.

As for the non-crystalline parts next to it, they seemed to have been hit by a terrifying impact and vaporized instantly.

This single effect seems to confirm the earlier speculation about the extraordinary end, namely that the whale's body blocked the storm and was thus covered in crystals.

At the same time, it can also be seen as proof of Lord Rom's strength, not only knowing some of the nature of this place, but even being able to guide and manipulate it to a certain extent.

By reserving this move as a final trump card, the King of Abandoned Prison, as the target, should probably have no further complaints.

With another leap, Fu Qian jumped back to the watchtower, right next to the blood-stained blade, before letting out a soft sigh, appreciating the importance attached to it.

Although I was certain that Lord Rom would take action, I was even more looking forward to the kind of "unorthodox" methods I had witnessed in the wedding hall of the Lone King and the Goddess of Sin.

Simply removing a divine being from the entire transcendent framework not only has an exile effect but can also lead to amorphous distortion.

Fu Qian was not only deeply impressed by the crucial protective technique left by Lord Rom at that time, but also had no complaints about Depatch's suffering because of its wonder.

Unfortunately, either that move consumes more energy or requires special equipment to execute, and it seems that Lord Rom is unable to do it again.

With a soft sound, another crystallized blood blade appeared on the lake surface and pierced the spot where Fu Qian had been standing.

As for Lord Rom himself, he had long since disappeared.

Even the calamity eye that was originally locked onto Him, including under the radar, was lost.

……

That makes perfect sense. Don't forget what the members of the Original Council are best at, after all this time of dealing with them.

Neferi, Ravenfeather... have all clearly demonstrated abstract-level concealment techniques.

As the chief advisor, Rom felt he could handle it even more effortlessly.

He certainly didn't leave, nor will he leave; the current situation is truly one of life and death.

It may seem irrational at first glance, but even if there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, they should at least rest and recuperate before taking action, which would increase their chances of winning.

Unfortunately, that was only on the surface; it was a period of recuperation and rest...

Where and how should one recuperate?

The fact that the rabbit knowingly drank poison to quench its thirst already strongly suggests that this was its last refuge.

Even with such a deep understanding of the place, Rom was clearly reluctant to do so unless he was desperate.

And yet, they still did it.

Run away regardless of the consequences? I believe that person should be able to do it.

But don't forget that because of the treacherous people's framing, there are also the Night Watchers watching from the outside.

If there had been any room for maneuver, things wouldn't have come to this.

As for why, since his hide-and-seek skills are so good, he didn't just hide and ignore it, instead of striking at this moment and provoking the King of Abandoned Prison's anger?

That would only make things worse—think about it carefully, it was the King of Abandoned Prison who provoked them first. The enemy has already come knocking on their door.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, if they avoid fighting now, the house will most likely be demolished along with the house the next moment. How can they expect to survive?

Instead, they should take advantage of their only home-field advantage, combined with their unfathomable moral standards, to unexpectedly tear apart their greatest advantage and go all out.

It was Lord Rom who did it.

This also explains why the player made a second dodge before the previous move.

Because the king who abandoned the prison believed that his colleague had no bottom line, and also believed that the latter would never give up.

……

Lord Rom has not disappointed the trust placed in him.

The bloody crystal blade has already left another brilliant mark on this tranquil place.

And it appeared without warning, making it difficult to grasp—yet another stroke of luck.

At almost the exact same time interval, another magnificent mark appeared, forming a cross with the second cut on the lake surface.

If you keep jumping back and forth, you'll probably run right into something.

Unfortunately, Fu Qian stood still this time, while his finger touched the blood-red crystal.

As for why it happened to stay still?
This is certainly no coincidence; it simply means that the sharp critique of "The Serpent of Fate" is still in effect, and Lord Rom, even in such a fast-paced environment, has still failed to break through his own limitations.

First of all, this killing move obviously doesn't have a lock-on effect, so I easily dodged the first strike, assuming the opponent would make a move.

As for jumping back during the second strike, it's because I believed Rom would make another move, and it's also based on the legendary crater theory—the most dangerous place is the safest place.

If, after the third strike, one were to dodge back to the position of the second strike, it would clearly be a matter of habitual thinking, something most people probably wouldn't believe.

But a smart person might actually believe it, because they suspect that their opponent might exploit this psychology in return.

In short, at this stage, it is easy to fall into a psychological game similar to layered cakes, which can lead to an endless entanglement and a complete battle of wits.

But at this moment, the Tyrant made an extra move, which was to reach out his hand in place, as if to test the crystallization properties.

How to interpret this behavior becomes the key to the third-party game.

However, Mr. Röhm's limitation lies in the fact that his analysis of the motivation behind such a behavior always remains at a utilitarian level.

In short, there is only one purpose: to confuse the opponent.

Therefore, no matter how many brainstorming sessions there are, the balance will always tip towards the bluffing side, that is, by making the opponent believe that they will stand still through such actions.

Little do people know that for true researchers, testing is indeed one of their goals.

This move is both a deception and a genuine test.

This difference in values ​​led to a failure to reach out to each other, resulting in another missed opportunity.

Of course, the entire analysis was presented with great conviction, but it still seems to have been plotted against.

Why does Your Excellency Rom insist on this kind of game? Why do you have to cut into such a large area? It's childish, like throwing a match.
It's simple.

Think about it carefully, what's the use of such an attack, even if it's incredibly powerful, if it's theoretically impossible to hit a tyrant as long as they keep running?

Therefore, Lord Rom must have his reasons for using this as a trump card.

But then another crisp sound rang out, and the cross formed by the second and third cuts was rapidly expanding, like cracks in ice.
