Life Dungeon Game

He didn't draw his sword to stab Heo again. In fact, he knew very well that powerful superhumans were difficult to kill, and he hadn't even considered piercing Heo's vital point with a single blow to kill him.

As the soft sword pierced He'ao's body, terrifying and twisted lines followed the soft sword and Driss's hand, disappearing into He'ao's body and rapidly destroying it along with the oppressive force.

This attack was his true killing move; where it struck was irrelevant.

At this moment, the two were already very close together.

At that very moment, He Ao suddenly smiled.

He had been holding the butterfly knife and clutching his stomach, but suddenly his index finger, stained with blood, traced an arc on his body.

The next second, countless twisted lines appeared in He Ao's mind, and a noisy and chaotic dance music played in his ears. He Ao's soul was immersed in these lines.

Twisted lines of pollution spread through his consciousness, and the terrifying sense of oppression that appeared in He Ao's mind suddenly lessened.

Driss's oppressive aura did not come from himself, but from the distorted lines in the sky.

He Ao, of course, knew very well what those distorted lines came from.

The winding hill.

Driss actually used his abilities to communicate with the Winding Hill, and through the status and power of the Winding Hill, he suppressed Heo's soul.

But he wasn't the only one who could communicate with the winding hill.

In particular, Driss's sense of oppression manifests in Howo's perception as a kind of 'oppression of the unbeliever'.

It seems to be a conceptual one: the knight's power over heretics who do not believe in their own god. This may be the knight's 'ability'.

Although Heo did not believe in the Winding Hill, he had entered the Winding Hill and had a reflection of it in his mind.

In some ways, his connection to the Winding Hills is perhaps even deeper than that of Driss.

This means that when the power of the Winding Hill is connected, Heo's 'Unbeliever' label will be neutralized by the power of the Winding Hill, thus weakening Driss's 'control'.

Of course, even without this neutralizing effect, Heo could still try to use these contaminants from the same source to challenge Driss's oppressive power.

However, he can only use this move once. By the time Driss reacts, he will be on guard.

Therefore, He Ao never exposed this connection, nor did he trigger these contaminations. He was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Driss to approach him unguarded.

In that instant, Driss also realized something was wrong.

He was originally prepared to draw his sword and leave immediately, but at this moment those winding lines had completely destroyed He Ao's body. If he let go now, it might give He Ao a chance to escape.

If he stays, He Ao will surely die in a moment. Even if He Ao launches a counterattack, he may not be able to hurt him. He can completely exchange injury for life.

At this moment, he was faced with a choice.

However, being a seasoned veteran, he made his decision almost instantly and immediately prepared to draw his sword and retreat.

Just at this moment.

EasyThink!

Mental interference!

Under the combined influence of the altered choice and the mental shock, he ultimately did not make the move to draw his sword.

It was a very short stay, but it was enough.

With his last ounce of strength, He Ao raised the butterfly knife, enhanced by divine sense, and pierced Driss's heart.

At that moment, Driss finally realized something, but it was too late.

Although Driss is very strong, he has never been subjected to any real corruption or mutation from the gods. He is still a pure human being, and he is not some special talent sequence. He only has one energy core.

He couldn't find Heo's weakness, but Heo could find him.

of.

But only at such close range would Heo have had the opportunity to stab him.

What He Ao did was essentially trading injury for life.

However, if he had been even a little later, he would have been the one to die.

"Your talent sequence is not limited to..."

Driss opened his mouth, and as the energy convergence point collapsed, countless energies surged and crashed within his body.

"Old brother,"

With the hand that had knocked the cane off Heo wrapped around Driss's shoulder from behind, his body already exhausted from the destruction caused by the twisted lines.

With a forceful pull and push, he drove the butterfly knife even deeper into Driss's body, the sharp tip emerging from Driss's back. He continued, "'Listening' is the opposite of 'telling,' and 'the listener' is the opposite of..."

He paused, then said, "That person hiding behind the scenes, is he the 'orator'?"

Driss's pupils contracted sharply, then he slowly revealed a relieved smile. At this moment, his aura was extremely weak; the scattered energy after the energy gathering point was destroyed had completely annihilated his body.

"Old brother, I don't know how you managed to have two talent sequences, but what follows is your battle."

This powerful 'Punishment Knight' breathed his last at that moment.

He slowly backed away and pulled out the butterfly knife that was stuck in Driss's body.

After losing his support, Driss fell forward to the ground.

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from the stairwell.

Teams of people in pollution cleanup uniforms surged forward.

As soon as they came up, they saw Driss lying on the ground. They were stunned for a moment, then looked up at Heo warily, not daring to go forward.

Do you have any flowers?

He Ao merely glanced at them and asked softly, "Want the best bouquet?"

The people around were stunned for a moment, exchanging glances. After a brief silence, someone who seemed to be the leader turned around, said a few words, and then led someone from the last row into the stairwell.

After a while, the person who had left ran up, carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers in his arms.

He had originally intended to give the flowers to his superior, but as soon as he arrived, everyone immediately moved aside, clearing a clear path for him to reach He Ao.

He hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and walked step by step toward He Ao, handing him the flowers.

"Thank you."

Heo took the flowers with his blood-stained hands. He held the bouquet and slowly placed it in front of Driss's body. Then he grasped the hilt of the sword that was stuck in his chest and pulled it out with a sudden jerk.

As blood splattered, the people who had gathered around instinctively took a few steps back.

He placed the soft sword in his hand beside Driss, and then slowly stood up.

If Driss hadn't used the Retribution Knight's skill in the end, hadn't tried to suppress Hoo with Winding Hill, and if Hoo hadn't had the power of the super-memory 'Iss' to change his choices.

The one lying here now is him.

Driss is actually far, far stronger than him; the other is very likely the strongest fighter in the city.

But from beginning to end, it was the display of talent that sparked Driss's...

He remained vigilant until the very last moment before being killed by Driss, when he used the power of the Winding Hill to force Driss into a choice.

By utilizing the hypermemory mark that had been placed on Driss long ago, which he had been holding back, he modified Driss's final choice.

In fact, Driss was also gradually walking into Heo's trap, although this trap was something Heo had been constantly devising and refining as the battle progressed.

This battle involved a huge gamble on him, but without taking the gamble, he simply couldn't have solved this four-B level situation.

Does that mean he can really escape smoothly if he doesn't attend the banquet today?

Although some of them entered the city, the main force of the Kejette Group mercenary group was still stationed outside the city.

If you don't gamble, you're doomed; if you gamble, there's still a glimmer of hope.

He picked up his crutch from the ground, supported himself, and walked step by step toward the dining table.

There are two things on the dining table.

It was the same book, the one that Driss actually read when he arrived.

The book's title is simple: The Mystery of Talent Sequences.

He Ao stretched out his blood-stained hand, picked up the book, and quickly flipped through it.

He moved very quickly, like a quantum reader, and those around him thought he was just casually flipping through the pages.

Then Heo turned around and looked at the bookshelf behind Driss's chair.

The books on the shelf were mostly about current events or military strategy. He Ao randomly picked a few books with titles that looked appealing, flipped through them in a quantum-reading style, and then put them back.

Finally, he walked around the table once, returned to his seat, and then looked at the suitcase on the table, slowly hugging it to his chest.

Then he just stood there, motionless.

The shadow of the dining table was stretched long by the rooftop lights.

After a long while, people around dared to gather around.

The crowd watched He Ao.

Soon, someone noticed that the old man with gray hair was still looking ahead with his cloudy eyes, but his chest was no longer rising and falling.

They waited a little longer.

The old man still did not move.

People gradually gathered around.

"died?"

A wave of doubt arose from the crowd.

One by one, they stepped forward, looking into those wide but cloudy, lifeless eyes.

"It looks like he's dead?"

A bold young man stepped forward and gave it a gentle push, but it didn't budge.

However, the old man did not react at all.

So he pushed the old man forward again with all his might.

The old man's body finally fell straight backward, but he still clung tightly to the suitcase in his arms.

"Really dead?"
