“This is mysterious vampire magic.” Ye Chui bluffed from his mouth, while straightening his clothes. Earlier, his bat clones protected Debbie. Although under the earth-shattering BGM they blocked the vast majority of the wind blades, there were still some wind blades that injured those bats. One bat clone’s wing was even sliced off and fell to the ground.
When these bats recombined into Ye Chui, the injuries they suffered also reflected onto Ye Chui’s body, causing fine wounds on Ye Chui’s body that seemed like they were cut by blades. That feeling was not pleasant at all.
“Vampire magic?” Tag muttered this unfamiliar name from his mouth, guessing what exactly this mysterious magic was, and why he had never heard of it.
Ye Chui turned his head to look at Debbie, smiling as he said: “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine, ouch, Ye Chui, how did you just do that? Those bats were really you after all.” Debbie widened her eyes and asked in complete surprise.
Turning into a bunch of bats was something that, even in this fantasy world, belonged to the extremely fantastical category. If it were someone else, they might have been scared by Ye Chui, but Debbie just felt it was indescribably fun.
“My new magic.” Ye Chui explained simply, “Just comprehended it.”
“Just comprehended new magic!?” Ye Chui’s casual introduction clearly made Tag somewhat unable to accept it. Such powerful magic was actually just a newly comprehended magic?
Just as Tag was dazed, a child’s scream suddenly rang out. When the others in the cavern looked towards the sound, they saw the female swordsman Dallas, covered in blood, holding a little girl in her arms and using a small dagger to hold the child’s neck hostage.
“Don’t make any rash moves, or I’ll kill her immediately!”
Dallas was the vice president of the Serpent Demon Mercenary Group, a charming and alluring beautiful swordswoman, but now she appeared extremely dishevelled and ferocious. When speaking, her eyes flickered with bursts of cold light, staring deadly at Ye Chui, her face carrying a bit of madness.
“Actually using a child to threaten us?” Debbie accused somewhat angrily.
Tag, Dallas, these three, they initially attacked the middle-aged Joker and Debbie because they mistook the middle-aged Joker for the devil Joker. They were prepared to rescue these imprisoned children, but now they had clearly abandoned their original intent and actually made the move to threaten Ye Chui and Debbie with a child!
Perhaps they now already understood that the middle-aged Joker or Debbie had no relation to the rumoured devil Joker, but they also understood that Ye Chui and Debbie wouldn’t let them leave.
Fortunately, these two wouldn’t abandon a child to die.
“Is this another good person card being issued?” Looking at Dallas with her face full of bloodstains, Ye Chui sighed somewhat helplessly.
The battle between Gilgar and the other swordsman also ended at this moment. That swordsman was injured quite severely, exhausted all over, half-kneeling on the ground using his own sword to support his body. Gilgar, on the other hand, looked at Dallas who was holding the child hostage with a bit of anger.
Tag quickly walked to Dallas’s side, his face extremely gloomy.
“Tell us how to leave this damned cavern. Once we’re out, we’ll let this child go!” Tag said from his mouth.
That little girl was only five or six years old and was now already terrified, making suppressed “呜呜” crying sounds from her mouth.
“Using a child as a hostage, your kind of behaviour will be condemned by countless people.” Ye Chui said coldly to them.
“Hmph, an adventurer’s life is the most important. We can’t care about the rest.” Tag said coldly, “Condemnation? Those things aren’t important at all!”
“Is that so.”
Seeing Tag’s utterly unconcerned appearance, Ye Chui sighed once again: “Then please just die here cleanly!”
Just as Ye Chui’s words had just finished, Dallas, who was fully on guard against Ye Chui and Debbie, suddenly felt her shoulder sink, as something landed on her shoulder. Turning her head to look, a bat’s ferocious face appeared in her vision, opening its mouth full of sharp fangs.
“Ah” Dallas screamed from her mouth, and the hand holding the dagger immediately went to attack that bat.
But the bat had already swiftly bitten onto Dallas’s neck.
Intermediate Life Magic: [Life Drain]!
Ye Chui had long kept a mind on this. When his bat clones fused, he deliberately left one bat clone unfused, instead hanging upside down from the top of the cavern, in case of need. Now this bat clone indeed played its role.
When Dallas held the little girl hostage, Ye Chui controlled this bat to quietly move above Dallas’s body, landing on her unprepared.
When Ye Chui was completely turned into bat clones, besides BGM he couldn’t use other magic attacks, but now Ye Chui’s main body had condensed out, which also allowed him to cast other magics through the small bat.
Some other system magic attacks would still have greatly reduced power, but the [Life Drain], also comprehended from Dracula Untold, could exert the maximum power!
Accompanied by the casting of the spell, Dallas’s hand holding the dagger that was about to attack the bat suddenly stiffened. Veins rapidly emerged on her body and face, and her skin visibly began to shrivel rapidly.
What [Life Drain] absorbed wasn’t her blood, but her life force.
Accompanied by [Life Drain], Ye Chui felt the mana consumed in his body begin to recover rapidly, and the originally somewhat fatigued spirit also began to fill with vitality. The wounds on his body previously attacked by wind blades also healed in the blink of an eye.
“Whoa, refreshing!” Ye Chui couldn’t help exclaiming from his mouth.
Pa
Dallas’s powerless body fell backwards to the ground. That little girl being held hostage had already broken free from her hold and hurriedly ran crying towards the other children.
“Dallas?” Tag looked at Dallas on the ground in complete stupefaction. His gaze quickly turned back, his eyes becoming utterly terrified. He immediately prepared to cast a certain wind magic to escape from here.
But with a “boom”, a powerful cannon shell attack immediately landed on Tag’s body.
[Second Company Commander’s Italian Cannon]!
Tag’s body then burst into pieces of flesh and blood.
An illusory cannon figure was emerging on Ye Chui’s body, with a few wisps of green smoke still slowly rising from the cannon barrel.
In the blink of an eye, two of the three people had been dealt with.
The remaining swordsman, after a slight daze, suddenly jumped up and ran madly towards a cave on one side. He now had only one thought, which was to leave this terrifying place as quickly as possible.
But Gilgar turned into a ray of golden light and instantly chased into that dark cave. Accompanied by several screams, bursts of golden sword light flickered, and Gilgar’s body slowly walked out from the cave, nodding to Ye Chui and Debbie: “He is already dead.”
Ye Chui beckoned, and that bat clone fluttered and flew into Ye Chui’s hand, then fused into his body.
“Ye Chui, your new magic is so awesome. Not only can you turn into bats, but you can also absorb others’ life force!?” Debbie had completely relaxed now. She trotted to Dallas’s side, checked Dallas’s condition, magic that absorbs people’s life force gives a feeling of being evil and alternative, but since it was magic learned by Ye Chui, the only feeling Debbie had now was that this magic was cool and flashy or something like that.
“I also learned a spell called [Blood Battle Will], didn’t get a chance to use it. I’ll demonstrate it to you when there’s an opportunity.” Ye Chui said with a smile. He then looked towards the middle-aged Joker who was surrounded by a group of children.
While Ye Chui and Debbie were fighting, Afu’er was squatting beside that Joker healing him. Now it looked like the treatment had ended. Ye Chui frowned. When he flew here, the Joker had already been sneak-attacked and severely injured by Tag. Somewhat puzzled, he looked at Debbie. Debbie hurriedly told Ye Chui the sequence of events. It turned out the middle-aged Joker wasn’t the devil Joker they had guessed; on the contrary, he was a great good person who had saved these children.
The Joker Girl turned the people of Joker Town into Joker zombies, but her evil ritual was ineffective on children. The middle-aged Joker brought them here to protect the children’s safety.
“This is really a bit unexpected…” Ye Chui saw the middle-aged Joker shaking his head and standing up from the ground, so he walked over and asked, “Hello, may I ask what your name is?”
Debbie hurriedly pulled Ye Chui’s arm: “He can’t speak, and his intelligence isn’t high…”
“My name is Neil Yaden.” The Joker answered thus. He looked around left and right, “Why am I here? Oh, I remember now, this is the mine. What have I, I been doing all these years?”
He showed a somewhat pained expression, rubbing his forehead.
Ye Chui and Debbie standing beside him were already completely stunned.
Damn, he spoke! Damn, he doesn’t seem dumb anymore!
They both looked at Afu’er together.
Afu’er looked somewhat fatigued, reaching out to wipe the non-existent sweat from her forehead, softly explaining: “When I was helping him heal his wounds, I discovered that besides the injuries on his body, there were also dark injuries in his head, so I conveniently healed the trauma in his head as well.” The tone of speech was as if this was just a minor incidental matter.
Ye Chui and Debbie thus both gave Afu’er a thumbs up together.
Afu’er’s healing ability can only heal pain and injuries. If a person was originally a fool or unable to speak, she couldn’t make the other party speak and become smart. The reason she could heal the middle-aged Joker, Neil, was mainly because his aphasia and intellectual impairment were due to brain injuries.
Ye Chui immediately looked towards Neil, who was rubbing his head with an utterly confused appearance, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Do you know what’s going on with the devil Joker and the Joker Girl?”
