Poisonous Drama 009: Toxic Encounter
Du Fan's face was filled with a smile, he put the bow and arrow in his hand to one side, then rummaged through the storage ring for a moment, this time he pulled out a small bottle of white medicine.
Du Fan gently shook the medicine in his hand and said in a low voice, "This thing, I think you probably know it too, Ferre?"
Ferré stared at the medicine for a moment, hesitating: "This... seems to be Weakness Fog?"
Du Fan nodded with a smile and said: "Feilei, you really know him... So, do you know how to use this thing?"
Ferré could recognize this weak mist, but he had never used anything like it before, and for now, all he could do was shake his head slightly.
Du Fan didn't mind, he swayed the bottle in his hand, seemingly muttering to himself: "This Weakness Fog is originally a useless thing, its only effect is to slightly weaken one's internal energy or magic power, and slowly drain their physical strength. However, for this medicine to take effect, it needs a long time, and under normal circumstances, there's no chance to use it... but the opportunity in front of me now seems pretty good..."
As they spoke, Du Fan opened the bottle cap, and a burst of energy flashed through his palm, causing the medicine inside to churn and form a faint mist. Before the mist could spread out, Du Fan swung again...
This time, a faint aura carried a thin mist that had thinned to the extreme, blowing towards the direction of the octopus and the academies.
This wisp of weak fog drifted into the battlefield, so inconspicuous that even the most meticulous person might not notice its existence. Even when this thin mist enveloped the entire battlefield, no one was aware of its presence.
Although this fog is also effective for monsters, with the intelligence of octopuses, they can't even distinguish these fogs from ordinary sea fog. The students of Roland Academy didn't have time to notice these details, under the attack of dozens of tentacles, as long as they were slightly careless, what awaited them was a dead end.
The fierce battle was still going on, but soon after, several students outside the battlefield began to feel that something was slightly off about themselves.
Originally, they would use all their strength every time they made a move, so that they could block the incoming attacks in front of them. However, gradually they found that although they were still using all their strength, their moves had become weaker compared to before. Although they wanted to increase their strength, they felt more and more powerless, until finally, a feeling of weakness spread throughout their entire body, as if they would collapse at any moment.
At this moment, this seemingly useless medicine appears extremely sinister.
"Ah——"
Several shrill cries of despair rang out at the same time, and several students on the outermost periphery of the battle array were dragged into the reach of the tentacles. They didn't even have time to resist before they were torn alive into pieces of flesh.
The defense line was already on the verge of being breached at any moment, and now it's even more precarious.
As time passed, the outer disciples were almost all killed off, leaving behind eight disciples skilled in ranged attacks and Chris squeezed together. They barely resisted the increasingly dense attacks relying on Chris's martial skills, and the situation was even more unbearable.
Auerdas had long sensed that something was amiss, and he was worried about Kris's situation. Hearing those mournful cries, his heart felt like fifteen buckets of water being poured in, making him feel uneasy and restless.
But the more anxious he became, the less accurate his moves were. He was now both anxious and angry, and with a loud shout, he no longer cared about the consumption of his internal energy. The internal energy on the long sword blazed, and his hair turned silver white again. The two-colored internal energy encircled his body, surrounding him completely.
And in his hand, the long sword's blade suddenly surged up several meters, and with a slash, the sword's edge was like a thunderbolt, anything that was cut by him instantly turned into minced meat.
Aoldas took a deep breath, let out a loud roar, and with his long sword in hand, he made a sudden thrust forward. His aura was compressed violently, then suddenly expanded, forming waves of energy that blasted all the tentacles within tens of meters into powder.
This is almost similar to a self-destruct technique, it's Orudas' lifesaving ultimate move, which consumes a lot of yuanqi. Although this move just now solved all the tentacles within ten meters around him and even blasted a deep pit on the ground, but the douqi on his body dimmed not by one or two points. The douqi that he had finally condensed was consumed again in such a way, and it was almost completely depleted.
However, intimidated by this move, the octopus monster seemed to have a few points of fear, and its swinging tentacles slowed down. The tentacles that had originally surrounded Kris and others opened up more than half and pounced on Ouldas, instantly reducing the pressure on Kris' side. Several students felt a sense of relief: This little life is saved.
Du Fan turned the empty bottle in his hand and casually threw it aside. The shock in his eyes flashed by, and he had known that Oudas was very strong before, but he didn't expect him to be so strong. The move just now was dazzling and made people unable to look straight at it. His own true strength was almost negligible compared to him.
Ferre was equally shocked, having spent many years in the Knights Templar and experienced countless grand scenes, witnessing numerous extraordinary strongmen. However, even Joshua's Holy Light Cross Slash, when unleashed, did not shine as dazzlingly as Orudas' brief moment. Based on his innate reverence for the strong, Ferre had already felt an urge to prostrate himself before Orudas.
After a light sigh, Du Fan said in a low voice: "It seems that Oudas's strength is indeed extraordinary. We won't add any more fuel to this battle. It's likely to end soon."
Fei Re's face changed, and he said: "Du Fan, sir, what else do you want to do?"
Du Fan sneered and said: "A small quantity is not a gentleman, no poison is not a man, these people are our enemies, can't we spare their lives?"
"However..." Du Fan said, tilting his head in thought for a moment, "Wanting to kill Orudas is probably impossible now, but... adding a bit of trouble for him, I can still manage to do that."
As he spoke, Du Fan didn't look at Ferre's expression, but instead raised the crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger towards the direction of the battlefield.
Aldras's hanging heart had not been put down at all, although he barely resolved the current crisis, but in fact, no problem was solved at all. If his estimate was correct, it wouldn't be long before the octopus demon would recover again.
At this moment, he began to secretly regret his recklessness. For years, he had been cautious and careful in his actions, although there were occasional small mistakes, but absolutely no major errors. However, this time he was played around by that damned Du Fan, almost leading to a complete defeat. This kind of thing, probably something he never thought would happen before?
A'rdas smiled wryly, parrying the incoming tentacle with his sword. Seizing the opportunity, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a secret medicine from Roland Academy, which he popped into his mouth. As he felt the internal Qi slowly recovering, his heart finally calmed down a bit.
He silently calculated that as long as he waited a little longer, if his Dou Qi recovered to half its original amount, he should be able to take advantage of the opportunity and kill this Octopus Demon Beast in one strike, thus ending this battle.
But suddenly, a faint black line flashed through Orudas's line of sight, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and for a moment he was stunned.
That small black shadow was extremely agile, as if it were formed by some strange aura. It passed through the sparse tentacles and pounced towards the remaining students of Roland Academy, its target being none other than Kris in the center of the crowd.
Ardas's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Kris! Get out of the way quickly!"
Christy was shocked by the words and pushed back, but at this time a tentacle came over and she had to jump back to her original position, for a moment she was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Just as the dark shadow was about to hit Chris, a student nearby suddenly swung his sword over and tried to cleave the eerie black shadow in two.
But unexpectedly, the black shadow turned in mid-air and shot towards the student who was using a sword.
The student was caught off guard and tried to dodge, but it was too late. He could only muster up his defensive energy, but the black shadow was extremely sinister. With a "puff" sound, the black shadow ignored the defensive energy and shot onto the student's arm, causing blood to flow non-stop.
It wasn't until then that everyone saw clearly, and the black shadow turned out to be an arrow.
The student grunted, casually pulled out the arrow and threw it to the ground. The people around him all let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that although this arrow was strange, its power was ordinary. Only someone like Du Fan, a good-for-nothing, would come up with something so flashy but useless.
But at this moment, the disciple suddenly stiffened all over, his face turned black, and black blood gushed out of his seven orifices. Then his entire body rapidly withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than an instant, his whole body had transformed into a pool of blood, leaving behind only a darkened skeleton, still clutching a long sword and wearing a black robe, maintaining the posture he had at the moment of death.
A gust of wind blew by, and the skeleton let out a faint creak before toppling over in a scattered heap.
For a moment, everyone felt their hair stand on end and their body turn cold. Although they had long known that Du Fan was despicable and shameless, who would have thought that this short arrow would carry such intense poison?
